THE CLovEN HOOP.

The cloven hoof in Secretary Win
dom's plan to drive silver out Of use
as q precious metal, is made most
plain by the following paragraph:
1.-THE, Secretary of the Treasury
should have discretionary power to
suspend temporarily the receipts of
silver bullion for payment in notes
when necessary to protect the Govern
ment against combinations formed
for the purpose of giving an arbitrary
and fictitious price to silver."'
The Secretary sees that with the
minis open to receive silver bullio' +,
the shipment of it across to Great
Britain would at once cease from both
the United States and Mexico, and
that the. immediate result would be a
rise in silver; that il unchecked it
would be back to its old place beside
Of gold within eighteen months. This
would defeat all his plans. There
would be little chance of throwing
silver up'to-day and down tomorrow,
and making a profit by both its rise
and fall. But if the authority can be
secured to him, to close the minis
against silver just as soon as there
should be trif1ing advance in silver
bullion, he could gradually break the
value down until it would cease to be
recognized at all as money, and the
conspiracy against silver and the poo
pie would have performed it's perfect
work. The only combination he fears
is the action of natural laws. He
knows that an "arbitrary and ficti-
tious price to silver is simply an i'm
possibility, because it's natural and
honest value is as 151a to or 16 to l
when measured by gold. By that
paragraph the Secretary not only adj
vertised himself an enemy Of silver,
but an enemy to his country. &c we
mistake not, he has counted wrongly
upon his power to manipulate Con-
gress. We fancy he will, in the next
three months, be forced to hear some
estimates Of himself which viii make
him feel that he is at heavier dis
count in the market rates of his
oountry's estimation, than he can
ever force silver down to. We honestly
believe that he is a Secretary for
revenue only, and that the call for his
dismissal from the Office that Alexan-
der Hamilton made glorious, should
be steady and united on the part of
all the great West. -[Salt Lake Trih-

AUTOMATIC FOG SIGNAL.

Records tho Result.

ELECTRICITY Sounds tho Steam Whistle and
Records tho Result.
a new fog-signaling apparatus has
lately been perfected in England which
Is of sufficient merit to attract the at
tention Of all those interested in tho
saving of life and property at sea. 1t
calls into use electricity, which admits
OF the signals being automatically
worked and at the same time records
every signal as it is given on band OF
graduated paper. This paper forms a
complete register of the signals, and is
documentary evidence in case of dispute
as to whether or not a vessel was sig
mailing when a collision occurred.
The apparatus consists of single
switch which is placed on the vessels
bridge, 80 that the signaling can be con-
tr0lled by the officer on watch. When
1t Is desired to blow the signal whistle
or to begin the automatic signaling,
whatever Its nature may be, the lever
is turned to the "under way" notch If
the vessel be moving, and the electric
current at once begins working the
valve OF the steam whistle at regular
intervals, conforming to what the law
specifies. Should the vessel be at an
Choir the switch Is turned to ''at am
Choir" and the bell is rung in the same
way. The register consists of the band
of paper properly subdividsd and moved
along by elock-worlx. a travelling
pointer, actuated byan electro-magnet,
pricks tho paper at every sound Of the
bell or whistle. The signaling can also
be made at will entirely Independents
of the automatic mechanism by simply
pressing button which closes the cir
cult leading to the bell or whistle. -
