1t is true that the ''American people

it is just as true that for twenty years

the parity of values of the two metals. .
The parity of the value" of the two
metals is the market value of gold ano
silver bullion. The ''parity of the value
of the two coins is the debt-paying

at par.
Now, can any human being outside

us of the old darkey's, remark tina

promising something to the advocates
of free coinage, as assuring something

Never until the silver dollar was
demonetized in 1873 was there day
when the bullion in it was not worth
as much or more than its face value in
gold. Mr.. Sherman says the silver dol

now at premium. Why not put his

But there is no. proposition concerning

cuse. If it is, ever done it should
be done openly and squarely by
equalizing his, enlistment wages

the mission. Just before the angry pros
pectors were about to string him up to
the nearest tree. As o token of his
gratitude in after years he presented
the De Smet mission with the beautiful
silver lamp which still ornaments its
sanctuary. The same roof has fur
nished hospitable shelter for both Gen.
Sherman and Gen. Sheridan and their
cavalry, and within those walls Col.
Wright dictated his famous treaty of
peace with the subducd Indians Of the
Occur d'Alene, Spokane and Palouse
countries. It Is also said that every
governor Of the territory and state has
been pilgrim to this shrine. However
that may be, It is certain that the old
mission has played no small part in tho
civic, military and scholastic history OF
the state, and is held in respect and rev.
erence alike by Protestant and Catholic.
At Spokane. rs well as at the other In
dian missions, we lind that the feet Of
the good and daring Father De Smet
were first upon the ground. He was
followed in labor among the Spokanes
BY the not less pious Father Josef in
1850. Not until 1866, however. was .

metropolitan city of Spokane. This
was . modest little chapel ON Peone
prairie. which was built by Father Ca
taldo, and which continued to be head
quarters for work in this section until
in the eighties, when the foundations
for the present city OF Spokane were
laid in the little hamlet that spraug up
around the splendid water power Of
Spokane falls. When the village

frame building have been built, in the
various portions Of tho city, the
splendid Catholic edifices which are
among its most handsome buildings.

philanthropic institutions which are the

church and also the Jesuit college for
