age of silver by Germany, France, the
Latin Union and the United States, such
a. never before in our history crushed
the spirit of our people. I,
This demonstration of silver, worked
by law, a practical confscation of the
earnings of labor, the products and prop
erty of debtors, and transferred them with
out adequate consideration to the Golfers
of creditors, and depressed the markets
for labor and its products throughout
the world.
Although in this country there has
been q partial restoration Of silver coin
age by the Act of February 20, 1873, yet
that Act, which authorized and required
the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase
and coin not less than 100000 nor
more than 100000 worth of silver
bullion per month, has not been executed
in the spirit in which it was enacted. The
minimum of only 100000 per month
has been the constant and almost unvary-
ing rule governing the treasury officials
in the purchase and coinage Of silver
bullion, BY virtue of this law. The con-
sequence has been, that all commodities,
measured in terms Of money as fixed by
an arbitrary gold standard, have declined
from year to year till the present time.
The panic Of 1874 still fingers with
us. Now and then short revivals Of bust.
ness prosperity have taken place, but they
were of very short duration and were
quickly followed by long periods Of lower
level in prices.
Thoughtful men and the ablest politi-
cal economists of this and other leading
nations. have called attention to the fact,
that the suspension of the use of silver a.
one Of the money metals, has been the
main, if not the sole cause, of this trade
stagnation. 49,.
The question is, "What shall be done9'
We believe that our senators and repre-
sentatives in Congress should be urged to
restore silver to its ancient use a. money,
by giving it free coinage. This will place
it on an equality with gold, and We be-
lieve at par with that metal. Until this
is accomplished, it should be earnestly
insisted upon that the maximum amount
of Il, OOO, 900 worth Of bullion should be
coined per month.

NATIONAL SILVER CONVENTION

No doubt one of the most impor-
tant events to transpire in this
country this year, is the holding of
a National Silver Convention in the
city of st. Louis on the Goth OF
November next. The promoters of
this convention have issued an adj
dress to the people of the United
States setting forth matters of fact
upon the silver question which is
of vital Importance to the whole
nation, and particularly to the in
terests Of the people of the western
states and territories. The pro-
motors of this convention have pro-
mulgated reasons for prompt and
immediate action upon this all-im-
portant question that cannot be re-
futed. And the time is near at hand
when the people will rise up in their
majesty and power and demand
that the shackles which have bound
them year after year, notwithstand-
ing their oft-repeated appeals to
Congress for relief, shall be un-
locked. The people need the re-
Mobilization of silver as one Of the
money metals of the country as
contemplated by the constitution
under which they live. They need
also more of the circulating me-
dunn to carry on the business of
the country. The object OF this
convention is to impress upon our
national legislature that the people
of the west are in earnest in pre-
senting their claims for redress OF
their grievances, the "gold bugs
and sbloated bondholders" OF Wall
street to the contrary notwithstand'
ing. The following are few of the
reasons assigned for calling o con
vention of the people of the states
and territories to meet as above
mentioned:
Since the reconciliation Of silver BY
the leading nations of the old world. fol
lowed By the same movement on the par
of the United States, we have seen cor

A Serious Accident at Vienna.

Last AueSQay evening, as Joe
Ringland was filling hole he had
just finished drilling for a shot in
the Vienna mine at Vienna, the
stick of powder stuck, and as he
was trying to force it in place with
an iron scraper, it exploded, and
the unfortunate miner received the
entire blast in his face, severely in
juring his eyes. C.. J. Johnston,
the superintendent of the mine,
and Peter Oleson, another miner,
were in the mine at the time, and
were somewhat stunned by the ex-
plosion, but not hurt. AS soon as
they recovered sufficiently from the
shock they took the injured man
out of the tunnel ard made him az
comfortable as possible. Mr.. john
ston Immediately mounted his
horse and came down to Ketchum
after DR.. Lewis, reaching here early
Wednesday morning. Accompa-
MED by the Doctor, he returned at
once to Vienna. Thursday even
ing they reached Ketchum again,
bringing the wounded man with
them. His face is so much swollen
that DR.. Lewis cannot determine at
present the full extent of the injury
to his eyes, but he thinks there is a
possibility of the sight of one eye
being saved. Ringland's father and
brother have been telegraphed to,
and as soon as they are heard from
he will be taken down to St. Mary's
hospital, at Salt Lake City, by his
intimate friend, Charles Wright,
who has been with him constantly
since he was hurt. Chris Johnston
is very much distressed on account
Of the accident, and has left moth
ing undone that could in any way
relieve the poor fellow, or minister
to his comfort. He had taken no
rest for himself day or night from
the time Ringland was hurt until
after he had seen the patient COM
fortably established at Baxter's ho-
tel Thursday night. Joe Ringland
has spent several years in the Saw
tooth country, and is well-known
as a handwriting and reliable
miner. We sympathize with him
in his misfortune, and hope that his
eyesight is not entirely lost.
