To any workingmAn, who is seriously asked
TO support the Democratic party upon the free
silver platform IL stands upon in Ohio, Iowa and
Kentucky, we commend the following sensible
words of Senator John Sherman concerning the
certainty that free silver would cheaper the
wages of labor:
"Free silver would cheaper the purchasing
power of the workiugmen's dollar. He could
not compete with the merchant or manufac-
turer who could mark up his wares to meet
the imitation standard every hour IL he chose,
while the laboring man would find it very
difficult 10 get his wages advanced proportion
ately Even II he did. how much better of
would he be9 The man who is earning $3.50
a day and the farmer who is getting
sJO for bushel of wheat, would
find that under free silver the purchasing power
OF that $3.50 would very rapidly drop TO sl.25,
and that the IS cents loss would fall not on the
merchant or manufacturer. bnt upon the man
who labors, or who tiils the SOIL That is the
memorable law OF trade, because the price of
commodities is fixed by the markets OF the
world snd cannot DO changed by any local leg
islature or vararies OF any single country
In New York state alone there are 22l,6ls de-
positors in tae savings banks. having an average
deposit OF s2aa each. The free coinage of silver
would scale down these sc5,hsa0oo OF deposits
about 10 per cent IL would reduce the wages of
the workers TO the same extent by lessening the
purchasing value of their money. The farmers
would get paid in money worth only ~ cents on
the dollar. instead of leo cents as now.

Besides these men. Highlands, Pierce,

with great vigor, but he is too tall for
his weight and finds difficulty in putting
his strength TO the best uses. He
weighs about one hundred and seventy
and Is Q muscular man from long train

Grant and Eddy are freshmen. the for

sport was less perfected the objec-
ton did not appear: now it grows
more important year By year. For
the present year the rule OF
the athletic committee that Harvard
shall not play out OF New England pre-

opinion that Harvard must devote all
energies to beating Yale. This is the
real cause. regardless Of faculty ruling.
With regard TO the team itself there
is much TO be said, but it is not rs en-
couraging as it might be. The team
is left with five consecutive places in

witnessed a heightened Mexican
funeral the other day. They had no
hearse and the corpse was carried on
the shoulders of four peppery Next
cans. The deceased was a rich
Mexican and they took him into the
big Catholic church, which is about a
thousand years old. Fifteen hundred
wax candles lit up the building and a
dozen priests ofilciated. A hole was
dug in the center of the church and in
making the excavation numerous
skulls and bones of Mcxicans,
Spaniards, MOniezumas, Aztecs aud
north Missourians were thrown out.
The corpse was let down with the
usual ceremonies and the old bones
carefully replaced. 1t cost thousand
dollars 10 plant this man, but the poor
are put away on the hillside for less
money. The poor persons do not care
much whether they are buried or not
as they are so saturated with red pep
per and chill that nothing will eat
them and they soon become dried or
picked mummies.
There is a railroad engine in the
Las Vegas yard that has most Won
derful history. 1t used to be run by
an old engineer who was killed in a
smash-up on the mountains and since
that time it can never be left alone or
the throttle will open apparently OF
its own accord and the engine will go
sailing up or down the track until 1t
runs into switch or is dumped in a
ditch. 1t is generally believed that
the spirit of the old. engineer works
the engine as it is impossible TO &C
count for it in any other way, The
engine is called the "Crazy Jane" aud
she gets there every time. l am not
superstitious, but 1t makes my hair
raise to see that locomotive putting up
the track with no one on board except
it be perhaps the disembodied spirit Of
the old engineer. G. W. DANIELS.
