now SILVER WAS DEmoNETIzED

hOW
We think Senator Stewart. Of Nevada,
makes 9 mistake in charging fraud in the
passage Of the Coinage Act Of 1873, which
demonetized silver.
The fact is the country at that time
was but little interested in silver, and
there was little or no opposition to this
Act. Mr.. Stewart himself wac in Con-
Rress and voted for its passage, but now
says he did not know the silver bill was
left out. Now, If this statement is cor
rect, il only proves his lack Of interst IN
the subject at that time. Does any one
suppos that such an Act could be dis.
cussed and be before Congress for over
two years and any one not know its con
tents II they were Interested The Act
became q law and was in full force and
efectf for years before any one heard Of
fraud. No discussion or agitation on the
subject arose, until the product Of the
silver mines Of this country became so
great that the price Of silver began to
fall.
Now this Act was introduced into Con.
gress in 1870, and previous to that time
the Director of the Mint had several
times recommended that the gold dollar
be made the only standard of value. The
Secretary of the Treasury in his report to
Congress for 1870. 1871 and 1872 called
special attention to the bill then in Con-
gress. In his last report, only a short
time before the final passage Of the Act
he said: Therefore in renewing the re-
commentator heretofore made for the
passage Of the Mint bill, l suggest such
alterations as will prohibit the coinage OF
silver for circulation in this country, but
that authority be given for the coinage
of a silver dollar that shall be as valu.
able as the Mexican dollar, and to be
furnished at its actual cost"
The Act was finally passed in January,
1873, and contained what was known as
tue 1Iauc DOllal Va t-O hioAhSg "HANH
was not a legal tender, and was intended
for our Chinese trade.
The Coinage bill was fully discussed
and amended and was printed thirteen
different times with amendments. No
Senator or Representative from the Pa
cifc Coast ever offered an amendment or
advocated retaining the 4l2A grain dol
lars, and it was at no time in the bill and
no effort was made to put it there.
No charge of fraud can be sustained.
The Act was fairly aud intelligently
passed, and Senator Stewart voted for it.
Why not admit the facts and say he has
shanged his mind. This would be hon
orable and to his credit. 1t is not Of SO
much Importance as to how this Act was
passed, as il is to know what is best to
do now in the present changed condition
of the country.-Denver Northwestern
Financier.

Charles Stewart Parnell, the noted Irish
leader. died suddenly yesterday evening
at Brighton. 1t had been known that
Parnell has not enjoyed the best Of

and widely commented upon that since
the O'Shea divorce Developments and po-
litical troubles came upon him. that the
great Irish member Of Parliament has
grown thinner and that he has percepti.
bly, aged in appearance. but nobody ex.
pected to hear Of his death. His death
was the result Of a chill caught last week.
He took to his bed Friday and died at
WalsiDgham Terrace, Brighton, at ii
o'clock last night.

In MINING,

The Seattle News says: We heard it
stated the other day by one who was
evidently afflicted with the disease tech
nically known as mossbsckism, which
had developed to q large extent, had, in
fact. affected his spinal column to such a
degree that it bad communicated through
the vertebae to his brain-that mining
never paid in the long run; that Mon
tana was the richest mining country in
the world and that every dollar taken
out OF the mines there cost ten. There
was nothing original in his remarks. He
had heard some one else say so before;
some one who had rashly ventured on
some wildcat scheme wherein he ex-
pected to get back a fortune for a few
dollars. and on the contrary he was out
his few dollars, consequently was dis
gusted with the whole mining business.
never thinking that he was himself most
to blame for his loss.
Mining, when prosecuted i~ntelligently
and upon true business principles is n
Of the best industries known. Beside
the direct profit to the miner, every dol
lar that he produces is is an enrichment
of the world ct large, adding that much
to its wealth and circulating medium.
But it 10 q science requiring much study
and experience. One who ventures in
the business who has not had the requi-
site knowledge and trusts to his luck
alone, without the advice or counsel Of
those who do know. is very apt to find
it q costly experiment. although numbers
Of experienced investors have accumu.
lated their millions in mining. The pros
pector is not the one who usually makes
the most meney out Of the prospect that
he finds. Like the locator on govern
ment land. he is compelled to have money
on which to live before he can get his
product on the market, consequently as
q rule sells his claims for q nominal sum
and seeks other fields.
There is now no question as to the ex-
istence Of vast bodies of rich mineral in
this State. There are also experienced,
practical miners here and many more are
coming, and when the development OF
our mines is carried on by them, the re-
suit will inevidently be a rich harvest,
and the careful. pains.taking investor
need have no fear as to the result OF ju-
dicious Investments.

THE Joint

They had q great political gathering in
Ohio the other day to hear the opposing
candidates jointly discuss the political
issues Of the day. 10 point OF ability
Campbell and Mckinley are fairly rep
resentative men of their respective par
ties. The reading Of the press synopsis
OF the debate carried the conviction to
our mind that Campbell had the best OF
the argument; at least he scored more
strong, unanswerable points than Nc
Kinley did. The latter seemed to run
away from the defense of his W bill
and to talk chiefly against the "heresy
Of free coinage" When Governor Camp
bell, as be did, read a list Of one hundred
manufacturing concerns that had reduced
wages since the passage of the Mckinley
bill. and appealed to Mckinley himself,
yea, defed him, to name one single in
stance of a manufacturer raising the
wages of anybody under the sun under
that bill; he fairly riddled and overthrow
the falacy Of Protection being for the
benefit Of the workingman in this oun
try. He also pointed out that q certain
glassworks near the scene Of the meet
ing, protected by more than one hundred
per cent Of tariff duty, employed mainly
Poles and other imported classes, ant
paid a lower scale of wages than any un
protected Industry in the land. he als'
made another good point, when he sai'
| the Republicans claim to have taken tn
duty off Of sugar to cheaper it to tn
consumer, and placed a duty on tin t.
cheaper that to the consumer. The il
logical position Of the Republican part!
on the tariff is sptly illustrated by tn
above single sentence from Governo
Campbell's speech. 1t takes a great dea
of lying and twisting to sustain a position
that is wrong at bedrock, and McKinle.
did not attempt it. Mckinley may b
elected, but he doesn't deserve it on tn
issues as they are made up in Ohio. Tn
silver question alone should engulpl

NEVADA II BOSS.

The New York Sun interviews an old
gambler on the great game Of faro as
played 10 Nevada before the war. He
says:
81 have sampled all the States and
nearly all the Territories, but my recol-
l~ections Of Nevada knock everything
else out. II is the greatest source Of
qualification to me that, though nearly
three score and ten, | never killed my
man. In Nevada in the toughest times
| never carried a pistol. No man OF gen.
uine courage never needs to carry one.
1.-The center Of all stirring events in
Nevada is Virginia City. During the
wal money was abundant everywhere in
the West, and lucky miners sometimes
carried fortunes on their persons as care.
lessly as they would a brace Of six.shoot-
ers. There was no lurking or conceal
ment about the big games Of faro or rou.
lette in Virginia City, which occupied
most Of the spare time Of our cowboys
and statesmen. Poker was too slow for
. majority Of the Virginia City boys, al
though there was usually a quiet jack
pot opened every night at the two lead
ing gambling houses. Here such men as
William Nye, first Governor and then
United States Senator, with his Attor-
ney General and other leading politicians
and mining capitalists, were ever ready
to sit in an all night poker game, usually
with q five dollar limit. These games ]
have known to last two days and two
nights, the only refreshments being 9
piece of ham, bread and a huge demi
John.

norm FROM ONE STUMP,

Cleveland and Hill spoke from the
same stump in New York one night last
week. Cleveland said nothing worth re-
membering. He merely counseled Dem.
ocrsts 10 unity and extra endeavor to
carry the State this Fall. Hill did bet
ter. He made . speech covering doc
trinal questions. He denounced the Nc
Kinley high tariff, and also spoke in favor
OF bimetallism. He did not show up as
being for out and out free coinage, but
he sqninted more strongly in that direc-
tion than has appeared from any public
man Of either party in the State Of New
York. 1t would take but very little
posting to get Hill on the right track on
the silver question. We think we would
rather trust him ON this subject than any
other prominent man in that State. But
it rs manifest that the whole Democratic
party Of the nation will be united for
free coinage before 3 great while. There
have been q few misguided brethren in
the extseme East, bat that section also is
fss. getting its eyes opened. The most
significant thing. however, regarding the
political meeting in question was the fact
that both Hill and Cleveland were stand.
ing together to promote the election OF
Flower for Governor, who is about as big
tn = IL
harmony in the ranks and that the Dem
ocratic party is apt to make a great sweep
in the Empire State at the election next
month. A well-posted New York poll
tician predicts that Flower will carry the
city by 10000 and the State from $4,000
to 40. 900. II be does, he is very likely
to become something Of q Presidential
possibility himself.
