and i'll which brotherly love shall
blossom as the rose; an age in which
the fatherhOod of God and the brother
hood of man shall be the ruling prin-
pie of life. a period, briefly when,
A crimes shall cease, and ancient fraud
shall fail,
Returning Justice lift alof her scale;
Peace DER the world her olive wand extend
And white-robed Innocence from heaven
descend"
That time has not yet come. Crime
has not ceased nor has ancient fraud
yet failed. Justice as a scale litter. is
not yet a blooming success. The olive
wand of peace is frost bitten in places,
and IN many countries has been substi-
tuted for the black-thorn and shot Gun
No, the period of universal peace has
not come yet. The eye of the white
man is still turned longingly to the
few acres left in the possession of the
American Indian, and the greed of the
christian (?) European still impels
him to despoil his heather neighbor.
A millennium in which the triumph
of avarice is so marked as now, would
dispel all the fine anticipations with
which it has been anticipated. A mil
lennium with John Sherman, Foraker,
G.. Frisby lloar, Russell Harrison, Tom
Reed and John b. Henderson in 1t,
would be but n small Improvement

SILVER REAMS

The total gold product of the United
States in 1890 was 1888, $50 fine
ounces Thevalue of it was S32, S45, 900.
The total silver product of the Unit
ed States in 1890 was $4,000, 000
ounces, valued in coin at S70,464, 645.
The total gold product of the world
in 1890 was S11S, 1884, 242. The total
silver product in 1890 was S139, 314 900.
The fear of a flood of Europe's sur.
plus of silver ought to be dissipated by
the fact that Europe has no surplus o.
silver.
Compared with other values, that oi
gold has increased so per cent in tho
past 1S years. That means that every
debt inesrred i'm that time has increas-
ed with the value Of gold.
During the past 16 years the pro
duct OF gold has been $685., 900, 900
That of silver but very little more.
Does any sane man suppose gold woulc
have been worth rs much as it is to-day
had il been robbed of its money func
ton ten or twelve yearBago?
The combined mortgaged debt ofth'
people of the United States is estimat
ed at 81, ZOO, 900, 900. By making golC
the only standard Of value, by reason
of the increase in the purchasing price
of the gold dollar, the 3 billion dollar
debt IS expanded to Il AZ billion dollar
debt.
In 1873, the year the crime o
demonstration was perpetrated, the
production of silver in the UniteC
States was % $50, 900 ounces. Its com
mercial value was S35, 100000, its coin
ing value 1856, $50, 900. From that yea
silver has declined in value. What
better proof than this does any one
want that it was the demonetization OF
silver that deprecated its valued
One little gold-bug along ant
warns the people against silver coin
ace because 1t will lead to imitation
Then comes along another little gold
bug and warns the people against sill
yer coinage because it will lead t.
contraction by driving all the gold on
of the country. Thus they use an!
kind of argument to fool the peopl'
and tighten the coils of the capitalist
octopus.

To be appreciated Lafayette county
must be seen.
One skimming along over its drvcrai-
fled surface in II railway train is given
to cxclaim,
What Il magnificent country!
Bowling along its roads behind 4
quick stopper, which can now be found
on many of the farms, one is delighted
at the ever changing beauty that meets
his vision ut every turn.
just now Lafayette county is in the
glory of the wheat harvest, and from
every ridge or hill top may be seen the
golden glory of the ripcncd wheat in
richest contrast to the deep green of
corn, hemp and forest foliage, or the
gray of nodding oats and waving mead
OWS.
Whether the landscape be II broad
eXpansc of prairie, rolling away in the
distance like the pillows of ocean, or
whether it be where lay the gentle
slopes, or still more rugged rid@clands,
it is strikingly beautiful such as to fill
one with the kccnest pleasure to
behold.
As you ride along, Il grand grove
lifts itself on your right hand. Look
under its cooling branches and you see
Il typical Lafayette home, with all IFS
concomItants of comfort, peace and
plenty. Further on II pasture land,
over whose grassy carpet stroll II herd
of cattle or horses. On the other side
of the road the rustlinG corn or some
other product of the farm is rejoicing
in the deep nutrition of the soil while
thanking the sun for its favorS with II
kiss.
Here - hedge fence with its @liStcn-
ing lcaveG gives protection To great
masses of wild roses which pink the
roadside in all the ]profusion of bloom.
The air is laden with perfume. The
landscape is dressed all over with the
beauties of natures richest gifts. Every
thing seems to grow without stint. It's
chiefest characteristic is ]profuSion.

Labor Commissioner Hall has receiy-
ed the following letter from Governor
Francis:
June 30, 1891.-Dear Sir: l desire to call
your attention to the biweekly payment
bill passed ut the last session of the legis-
lature and which went into effect on the
I'D inst. 1t requires mine operators to
pay their employees at least once in two
weeks, and does not authorize the with
holding of any portion of the wages due
them. 1t differs from the old law in that
the latter only required payment once per
month and permitted h retention of
four days, wages on any pay day.
suggest that you send to the mine
operators of the state copies of the new
law and advise them that it is the inten-
ton of the authorities to see that the
spirit and letter of the law is observed
and enforced in every respect. Respect
fully, ID. r. FRANCIS, Governor.
Mr.. Hall is having the law printed
in cirdular form and every n of the
$40 mine operators in the state will
receive a copy and have his attention
directed to the act. No effort will be
spared to enforce the law fully and
completely.
