ANoVeI Foundation,

A very simple method OF laying the
foundations on a swampy location
which did not furnish a firm sub-soil,
was employed by an American engin-
eer for supporting o low, wooden
building to be used for storage of ma
chinery. Casks were set in holes in
the ground along the line OF posts and
were filed to the depth OF about one
foot with iron turnings. The posts
were set in casks, which were then
filled with iron turnings compactly
rammed in place A solution of salt
and water was then slowly poured
over these turnings which compactly
solidifed into hard mass. The heat
OF the oxidation of the iron was SO
great that the posts smoked and were
charred the latter fact probably being
the reason why they have not as yet
exhibited any signs of decay and in
this respect the use OF iron turnings
furnishes an advantage over the use
of Generate for cask foundations. -

WHAT has the Helena Silver Con-
gress accomplished? 1t has en-
dorsed a resolution for the free
coinage Of silver that is all right,
but it proposes that the Silver States
go ahead and place Republican and
Democratic electoral tickets in the
field, pledging them not to vote for
either Harrison or Cleveland unless
one or the other will promise to sign
free coinage measure, If it comes
to him from Congress. This is all
rot. The best thing the Silver
States can do is to place one electo-
raj ticket in the field and pledge it
it to Jas. B. Weaver. Teach the
old parties lesson.

Do you still believe that Harrison
would have signed the Stewart free
coinage bill? If so read the follow
ing, from Washington:
"Ex. Speaker Reed led the assault
in the House which definitely set
tied the fate of the free coinage bill
by a vote of 154 to 1856. There was
a larger attendance than had before
been on the floor of the House for
four. or five months. 1t was not un-
til the day before the fight that the
Republican members, who saw their
power to dictate the action of the
House, fully decided to kill the bill.
For a time it was thought they
would let the Democratic factions
fight it out among themselves, but
after a free exchange of opinions it
was decided that the best thing for
the entire country was that they
should take the leading part in
crushing the bill instead of allow
ing the Democrats to pass it, and
having the President kill it with a
veto, as he would have DONE"

THE Republican State Central
Committee will meet on the Both to
make arrangements for holding a
State Convention to nominate a
Member of Congress, Supreme
Judge, and possibly presidential
electors. We believe it would be to
the interest of the State and free
coinage for the Republican Con-
vention to endorse the electoral
ticket already in the field. They
are good men, and in our opinion
will be elected, no matter how many
other tickets there are in the field.
1t would look better to outsiders to
have Nevada show up solid for free
coinage.

THE defenders of free coinage do
not deny that it will remove the
largest purchaser of bullion from
the market, That's what we want
to do. Under free mintage the
United States simply does our coin
ing ON DEMAND and gives the pro-
Queer what is in the bullion, less
mint charges. Under the law as it
now is, the United States takes the
profit. Under free coinage the pro-
ducer gets it. See?-Col. Mining

THE first man in this nation to
lift up his voice against the demone-
tization of silcer was Calamity
Weaver. There is where he won
his title. The Democratic and Re-
publican tools of the gold party
dubbed him calamity" because he
predicted the calamity that now
hangs over the industrial classes of
this nation.

blistered with mortgages and the
whole people stepped to the lips in

WHY will the Republican press
continue to lie to the people about
Harrison being friend to, and hav-
ing done all he can for the free
coinage of silver? Does the vote
of the Republican members of the
House show it? If Harrison was
friendly to silver could he not have
seen that there were more than
eight votes cast for the Stewart bill
in the House out of the eighty eight
Republican votes there?

The Reno Gazette still classes
Weaver as a greenbaeker, because
some years ago he left the Repub-
1iean party and became an advo-
cate OF paper money. If the Ga
sette is not yet aware that Mr.. Wea-
yer has left the greenback party
and is now an advocate of free
coinage of silver, it will doubtless
find it out by November 9th, next.

THE 6o-CENT DOLLAR.


The San Francisco Post, which
is opposed to the free coinage of
silver, but which had some fears
that Stewards bill might become a
law, when the bill was pending
published the following editorial,
showing that it knows what is right
but is afraid to advocate it. Since
Stewards bill was defeated the Post
has been as dumb as an oyster on
the silver question, which shows
that it was only trimming when it
published the following;
"Without attempting to discuss
or explain at length the question of
free coinage, which most people
seem to think conceals something
very mysterious and difficult of
comprehension, we may dispose of
one fallacy in a very few words,
and that is the one that constantly
refers to the silver dollar as worth
only SO cents.
The error arises in not distin-
gushing the bullion value of sill
yer from its monetary value. Meas
nred by gold, the bullion value of
the silver in a standard dollar is,
at the present commercial value of
silver, only about SO cents in gold,
but under the laws of the United
States there is no more reason for
measuring silver by gold than gold
by silver. The man who has five
silver dollars in one pocket and a
fye-dollar gold piece in the other,
has ten dollars. The purchasing
or debt-paying power of the silver
is exactly equal to that of the gold,
and however Jealous a gold mono
metallist the owner of the ten dol
lars may be, you cannot induce
him to sell his five silver dollars
for five times SO cents, or $3.45.
For all purposes in the United
States his silver is as good as his
gold.
The man who talks about the So
cent dollar may chance to have in
a third pocket a SIS greenback or
treasury note or certificate. The
intrinsic value of that piece of
paper is simply worth zero, yet the
man who cannot accept free coinage
because the silver dollar has only
SO cents in it will take paper mon
ey at the value printed on it's face,
though it has not single cent in
it, so far as a metallic basis is con-
cerned.
If the free coinage bill becomes
law it will be amusing to see how
people will accept it. They will
be wondering within six months
how they ever questioned its wis
dom. The agents of foreign man
nfacturers and the holders of bonds
may squirm little, but they are
not (they are) the people for whom
Congress legislates."
Beg pardon, but they are the
only people for whom Congress has
been iegislating for the past twenty
years.-EDl
