by several fires we could see-so
oyr views were not SO good as
thew would have been in a clear
day. The "Mount of the Holy
Cross" 70 miles away, was quite
visible. The mountain is famous
for always showing two streaks OF
snow in the form of cross, which
at this time of the year, is about
all the snow it does show. Pixies
Peak, $50 miles south, we occa-
sionally saw through the smoke
and haze, and its height, compared
with its neighbors, made it seem
like a cloud. In the direction of
Middle park there was rain, which
was, of course unfavorable to a
good view of its reputed beautiful
plains. Argentine Pass, not far
away, and 1,5O0 feet below, was in
full view, and its well kept
road could be followed or traced
many miles down the mountain to
the westward. Gray's Peak is the
source of Clear Creek on the east,
and Snake River on the west; Clear
Creek finally reaches the Atlantic
Ocean, and Snake River the Pa
cifc. Altogether the scene from
Gray's Peak is an imposing one,
including as it does at once, rain
and sunshine, summer and visible
signs of winter, plateaux and
plains, forests and desert wastes,
mountains of boulders and valleys
with fertile soil, all speaking with
silent but unmistakable certainty
of great Creator.
We naturally chose more civil
lied route to return, so followed the
well beaten trail, made necessari.
ly zigzag by the mountains A.
degrees slant. Often the ripping
water would greet our ears, some.
times invisible, though beneath oul
feet, at other times appearing te
view, affording the most satisfying
draughts, cold as ice itself, and
absolutely pure and clear. The
trail at this time passes through
one snow drift. From the valley
below can be seen many miners
crbins and dumps" on the barreI
side of Mcclellan mountain, some
of them at such height as scarcely
to be seen with the naked eye, and
apparently in the most inaccessi.
bic places. ''Kelso Cabin" is 6
rude log house where many
parties of tourists on horseback
stop in the evening that they may
ascend Gray's Peak in the early
morning and there see the SUI
rise and gradually spread its rays
over the mountains.
Tomorrow a party of thirty Oh
forty of US expect to go on horse
back to "Berthod Pass" of which
and other matters, [ may write
you another time. Yours truly

to say of the Independent candi-

of course, unquestioned, and the
right to support whom the voter
wills to do is not disputed, but
every candidate for Office ought to
be able to give a better reason fol
his candidacy than a disappointed
ambition, and if he seeks Office as 6
Democrat ought to confne his
efforts to Democrats instead of
hobnobbing with the dis affected
elements and the enemies of the
Democratic party"

In four congressional districts

-Republicans, how do you
like to be called traitors, by the

can find enough traitors in the

time for the republicans to wheel

Tennessee, six years ago
had a Democratic majority of
22,492, at the last election it was
9,l95. Tennessee is a protection
state and a fair vote and honest
count in 1888 will give a repubIi-
can majority. Florida and Lousi-
ana will probably be in the same
list.
With Germany and France
refusing to take American pork,
and England shipping wheat from
India, the balance of trade in favor
of the United States for 1885, is
more than s7S,OOO,O0O. This is an
excellent showing in the face OF
the above difficulties, and it looks
as though Europe would never
again get the balance of trade in
her favor unless we should have q
succession of drouths leaving us
nothing to export.
Will our anti-silver men
please explain why it is that with
all our silver coinage, the exports
of silver from the United States
Is greater than the import, while
the import of gold has been great
er by sl2,00O,000 than the export
while our silver has been shipped
abroad, our gold surplus has been
increased by s12,0OO,OOO. Finely
spun theories against silve,
amounts to nothing as long as
facts prove the falsity of them.
The Gold men and bankers
of the east tell us that the United
States is the only country in the
world where seventy cents worth
of silver is valued at hundred
cents. One would think that all
the silver in the world would be
shipped to the United States
where it is valued SO highly. But
on the contrary we are sending
much more silver away from home
than we are receiving. This fact
is an argument in favor of Silver
that no theory of the, Gold men
will be able to down.

A Model Town.
GRANGER. Mo, Aug. 10, 1886.

GRANGER, Mo-, Aug. 10, 1886.
ED. GHApHIo:-In our pere-
CARNATIONS over Uncle Sans home
stead it is such rare thing to
find a model community that we
cannot resist an honest inclination
to let the readers of the GRAPHIC
know something of the village
which fourishes under the bucolic
cognomen written above. 1t is
situated upon a beautiful prairie,
skirted with timber at various dis
tances, upon them. / & n. r. r. 81
miles a little southwest Of Keokuk,
Iowa. In size it is quite small, but
as a place where one can sit quiet
ly down and watch the busy world
go whirling by, it is not equalled
by any other town in which we
have been permitted to linger. In
fact country and village are SO
beautifully blended it is hard to
distinguish where tho one ends
and the othe, begins.
Some twenty-five or thirty fami-
lies are congrsgated here and en-
JOY something of the peace of
mind that "paseth all understand
ing"
Most villages are remarkable for
the backbitings and chickering's that
are constantly taking place, but
here is found a happy exception
in t,aat it seems free from such
unpleasant pastimes. Honesty is
a virtue that has received careful
cul tivation, and reached a high
state of perfection. If one goes tc
rest In one Of the dormitories
kept for the weary wanderers &C.
com1nodatior, he need not sea
himself Theoretically in his room
in order that he may have left
ducats enough to pay for his
breakfast OF clothing with whicl
to complete his toilet.
The intellectual, spiritual ant
moral wants OF the man are care
fully supplied. A commodiou:
modern, well furnished schoo
house, provided with a high grade
of instruction, adorns one part o
town. , Adjoining this is q a neat
substantial, union church from
which the Lords servants dis
pense spiritual food. Moreover
the people enjoy what so few town:
do, the benefit of a library Of tw>
hundred, well selected, STANDARD
works; also several of the bes
magazines, all supported by
membership ranging from thirty
five to forty-fve.
1t seems to us if there is ont
place where saloon is a create:

lage where it serves as theatre

The Business Outlook.

Inc business OUTLOOK.
The annual report of Director
Kendall ofthe Mint is of more than
passing interest to the business
community as it shows that we
are still increasing our stock of
gold in spite of silver coinage and
are still retaining our full share
of both precious metals while in
creasing our production of both.
The report estimates our pro-
duction Of gold for the calander
year 1885 at 100000, an in
crease of 100000, and our pro-
duction of silver at S51,000,000
Calculated at coinage rate in sill
yer dollars J, an increase of S2, 500
000 1t shows that during the
same year we drew from abroad
SO, ,25S, ,105 in gold coin and bull
ion more that we exported, and
that we exported of silver coin and
bullion S15,507, ,S25 more than we
imported, although the balance of
trade was in our favor on mer-
chandise.
According to these figures we
add to our stock of gold all that
we produced that year and, SO, ,22S-
103 more, or total of SAL ,22S, 104
while in the same time we sent
abroad and exchanged for foreign
merchandise s15, 5,507, 1914 more of
silver than we imported, thus ad-
ding that much less, or a net total
of only s35,492,176 to our stock of
silver. We exported s33,2S0,54
of silver during the year and i'm
ported only sl7,772,71S. We ex-
ported only s11,417,207 of gold
during the year and imported s23-
64S,211, or more than twice as
much.
Thus it appears that our stock
of gold is increasing much faster
than our production of that metal,
while our stock of silver is not in
creasing in proportion to our pro-
duction thereof. In spite of silver
coinage and Gresham's law, the
country is holding all of its own
gold production and drawing more
from abroad, while it is exchang-
ing its silver output for foreign
merchandise, and Director Ken
dali estimates our present stock
of gold coin at 1888, 1856, ,453 against
S21S, ,259, ,76I of silver dollars and
S75, 5,035,l Ill of subsidiary silver or
a total of 26,779,325 in coin.
The Treasury report of our for
eign trade for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, shows a balance of
S7S,00S, ,S31 in our favor, of which
SA, 1917 was in merchandise
and 33,S69,654 in coin and bull
ion. 1t is evident from these fig
ures that the merchandise balance
in our favor must disappear en-
tirely before we cease to export
silver and begin to export part
of the s30,0O0,000 of gold we now
produce. The outlook is now fa-
vorable to an increase of the bal
ance in our favor, and no loss OF
gold that can produce serious
! financial trouble seems to be i'm
minent, no matter how possible in
the remoter future.-Post Dis
patch.
