Silver has never been so low in the
history Of the world as it is at the
present time. The reducing Of it to q
very common sort Of commodity in this
country has been utterly rulnous to the
market for il. Silver was betrayed by
the Act of 1891. The present law is
worse than the old Bland law. The
former abandons the ratio Of 4l24 grains
to the dollar in toto. There are silver
certificates now out issued on the market
value Of the bullion that represent 430
grains to the dollar, and more. And yet
il was claimed by q certain class OF poll
ticians In this State and elsewhere 10 the
West that the bullion purchase law was
better than free coinage. The whole
contest was given up when the old ratio
was lost sight Of. How any intelligent
friend Of silver could have supported the
present law is one OF the conundrums
that will, perhaps, never be solved. 1t
is q legislative monstrosity. Worse than
that, it is a cheat and a fraud. II is
beneficial to Wall Street spectators
only. The enforced monthly purchases
Of bullion makes o "chump" Of the
Government and o soft and sure thing
for the sharks. They depress silver be-
tween times and mark it up a few points
when Uncle Sam enters the market as o
purchaser. The spectators care moth
ing about the ruling price. They would
as o operate at 20 cents an ounce as
at 30 cents. Free coinage is the only

Didn't SAY IT.

The New York Herald says Secretary
Foster spent the best part Of yesterday
in denying the report, which had been
cabled all over the civilized world and
caused q tremendous commotion. that
he had spoken Of Irishmen, in general or
in particular, as a FLANNEL mouthed
race" Mr.. Foster would also have it
distinctly understood that he has not
characterized. does not and never pro-
poses to characterize the Irish race as
either flannel mouthed or "clsm
mouthed." He does not think them such,
and aver if he did would never make an
official statement to that effect.
ALI that is very well. but the incident
serves admirably to illustrate what has
been shown time and time again to be
true in political history-that II is not so
much what q man say or denies having
said that counts, but what people be-
lieve that he said and what they and
their sons will hold him responsible for
Secretary Foster will probably
hear his name mentioned In connection
with clans and Hannels more frequently
than he would desire.

IOWA SETS AN EXAMPLE.

Since the State Of Iowa which gener-
ally rolled up from sixty to eighty thous.
md majority for the Republican ticket
became Democratic it is setting the silver
producing States an example they would
do we'll to follow. Horace Boies, who
became disgusted with Republican hypoc.
risy and left the party, was nominated
for Governor on q free coinage platform
by the Democrats and elected, as was
the whole Democratic State ticket. Now
the Legislature has passed a bill making
silver a full tender for all debts hereafter
contracted in the State.
A majority Of the people Of Iowa are
sincere in their demand for free coinage,
and not only elect the ticket that favors
it, but the Legislature aims to put the
State on a silver basis. Here in Nevada,
where silver is the principal product of the
State, the dominant party processes for
political purposes to be in favor Of silver,
but it has not proved the sincerity Of its
professions, as the dominant party in
Iowa 10 doing. Here the law makes every
debt payable in gold coin Of the United
States. there they propose to make debts
payable in silver coin. Here we produce
millions in silver; there they do not pro-
duce an ounce Of the metal. Here the
dominant party. while pretending to
favor bimetallism. indorses Harrison's
Administration; there many who voted
for Harrison four years ago have gone
with Boies and are now opposed to the
Little man in the White House.
Nevada needs a political shaking up
fully as much as did Iowa and Kansas.
Our Legislative bodies disregard the will
Of the people, constitutionally expressed.
and refuse in the face Of a majority vote
in its favor to call . Constitutional Con-
v~ention to adapt our government to our
present circumstances. Last year the
expenditures Of thegovernment exceeded
the receipts by over 800. 600, and. though
there is no probability. of the revenue be.
ing increased. no effort has been made to
reduce expenses.-Reno Journal.

Vow FOR ruE BALLOT BOX.

We copy the following truthful and
w~ell-timed article from the Salt Lake
Mining Journal: II ever there was q
time when the people Of the west and
south should take up arms and work and
fight together as one man, it is now.
The dispatches this morning inform us
that the little handful Of bondholders,
gold-bugs and Wall street brokers, as.
sisted and abet.ed by the President Of
the United States and the sristocracy OF
England have succeeded in defeating the
silver bill and the wishes of the people
in the lower house Of Congress. IL Is
painfully evident that the people will
never sccare Justice in our legislative
halls, and that therefore they must as
sert their rights and manhood through
the ballot box. The iron heel oil the
bo~ndholder, the money lender and the
Infamous hirelings who perpetrated the
crime Of 1873 has been felt by the people
Of the south and west these many years.
We have assisted in protecting every in
dustry and every manufacturing enter
prise necessary for the progress and pros
perity OF the eastern States. We have
ignored our own interests and have in
variably sustained every measure calcu'
lated to benefit the people OF the East.
The farmer has gone 10 rags and mort
gagged his farm in order that he might
show his fealty to party and his loyalty
to the ~blue-bellied, spindle.shanked au-
tocrats who aim to control the affairs OF
this country. The miner has drank OF
the bitter cup time and time again IN
order that he might show his devotion
to principles supposed to be the ground.
work OF his party. In times OF war he
has saved the credit of the nation. de
has made the United States the richest
country in the world. and if he had his
way the broad land between the Atlantic
and Pacific would smile with peace and
plenty; and yet he is met with insult
from the hand he has kissed; he is reviled
by the men he has enriched, and the re.
suit Of his toll, the product Of his mines
is made almost valueless by a band OF
thieves, blood-suckers. boodlers and
knaves in the shape of statesmen, Sena-
tors and Representatives, who speak en-.
couraging words to the people, cast their
vote against their interests and with
their hands behind them, have had
them filled with gold by the Wall street
broker and the English banker. Can we
endure this longer? No, W. think not,
and therefore would sound the cry Of ''To
armsl To armsi" The question must
lie fought at the ballot box, and let ii be
a stain on the name Of q voter in the
South and West who supports a mar for
the executive Of this country who is not
IN out and out silver advocate and a
staunch friend of the great and prolific
country west of the Mississippi river and
south Of Mason and Dixon's line.

o DERFUL CURES.

A suspended Catholic priest is per.
forming wonderful cures in New York,
seemingly with the aid Of relics. A DIR.
Blaisdell has duplicated some Of these
apparent marvels by thoroughly soaring
his patients. One woman was breathing
at the rate Of 100 to l40 times per min.
ute, and her respiration was so violent
that il could be heard all over the house.
Her pulse was normal, however,
although her throat was more or less in.
famed, and the chest muscles, owing TO
the strain placed upon them, were giving
her considerable pain. She found II i'm
possible to articulate two consecutive
words. The physician, after examining
her, came to the conclusion that the case
was one Of hysteria, pure and simple. In.
stead of giving her any medicine he had
her put to bed, and got her sister to
heat 3 poker red hot. the meanwhile ex-
planning all the arrangements to the
thoroughly frightened woman. He told
her that he found il necessary to oauter-
ize her body from the nspe Of her neck
to the waist on both sides OF the spine.
The m being prepared. the doctor
grabbed the poker and pretended to com.
mence the operation. The hysterical
woman screamed for mercy, and. in q
perfectly rational. though tremulous, tone
of voice. begged the doctor not to burn
her. The rest of the story is told thus
in the New York World.
DIR. Blaisdell didn't relent so easily,
however, and il was not until after many
tears and prayers on the part Of the pa
tient that he consented to put away the
poker.
II warn you, however. he said, that

of yours that l shall cauterize you at all
hazards. You can check that breathing
if you see fit. | am in earnest"
Mrs. Marcus has had no return Of the
malady since. DIR. Blaisdell probably
thinks that the red-hot poker can dis
count relics in cases to this type.
All OF which would tend to show that
fright Ia as potent an agency in perform
ing marvellous cures as is faith.

Speaker Crisp will do to bank on as q
friend Of silver. He is not . passive
friend but q positive one. The Speaker
of the House seldom votes except
in cases Of q tie. There was no tie in
the vote to lay the Silver bill on the
table until the Speaker made 1t tie by
his vote and thus saved the day. The
Affirmative Of . proposition must have q
majority or il fails. The majority had
been thrown until Speaker Crisp caused
his name to be called and brought the
rides even on the tally sheet. II he had
not been . true friend Of silver he could
just As well as not have let the whole
case gone by the board. He went out OF
his way and departed from the usual
practice to serve the silver people.
This should never be forgotten in
the West. Now that he is in the
harness he will be kept in the Speakers
chair az long IS the Democrats have .
majority in the House. The silver States
will only be helping themselves by aiding
in keeping the House Democratic that
Crisp may continue as Speaker and
Bland 60 to the head Of the Coinage
Committee. A vote at the election this
Fall to make the House Republican will
be o vote to turn Crisp and Bland out Of
the positions which they are so ably and
asceptably filling. and therefore q vote
directly against silver. We call atten-
tion to these things because it is proper
that the people of the mining States be
not allowed to forget their friends. In
the meantime all honor to Speaker Crisp
for the prompt manner in which he
showed his friendship for silver in the
close contest the other night. He should
Away be held in grateful remembrance
by the people Of the silver States.

THE DEADLOCK ON THE FREE
n BILL.

Both friends and foes were surprised
at the vote on the Silver bill in the
House last week. II was near midnight
when the debate closed aud the voting
which followed showed that there were
many Of the friends Of silver absent
from their seats. The opposition stuck
il out in force. II required the vote OF
Speaker Crisp to prevent the bill, on
motion Of Mr.. Burrows, one OF the Re
publican leaders, from going to the table.
The detail Of the vote shows that 1877
Democrats and ii Republicans stood by
the people, making . total Of las. The
enemies Of the measure also mustered
las votes. There was politics In this
vote. A good many free coinage Demo
Gratis, who are welded to the fortunes OF
ex.Presldent Cleveland, would be glad
to smother the Free Coinage bill to the
end that such . course might resuls In
giving the latter . better show for the
nomination at Chicago. These men want
the campaign made on the single issue OF
the tariff. Senator Hill said in his cele-
brated Elmira speech that that would be
the work of "babes and weaklings." 1t
was in pursuance Of this doctrine that
Crisp beat Mills for the Speakership.
The men who would not ignore silver as
Of equal Importance with the tariff won
the fight 10 the organization OF the
House, and we belive they will win II
again in the passage Of the Bland bill.
Our Republican friends in Congress
and throughout the country are do
ing all in their power to degrade
the white metal and drive il from the
monetary field. They fight it every
where, and quite as s%trenuously on this
Coast as in the East. II is obvious that
nothing favorable to silver is to be ex-
pected from that party. II anything is
ever accomplished it must bedone almost
wholly by Democratic votes. II will
not do to claim that the Democratic
party is by any means a unit on the
question. A good many Of them in the
East are against free coinage. and partic-
ularly Just at this time when we are
about going into q Presidential election.
They have misgivings about the effect il
may have on the great national contest.
But for the approaching election. there
would badly be 3 contest in the House
on the silver Issue. Two-thirds Of the
Democrats In that body would support a
free coinage bill at any other time. Then
there are those who know that the bill
can never become Q law at this session,
and they assume to be disinclined to de-
vote valuable time to its consideration.
The outlook, we are free to say, Is not
encouraging for legislation in the imme-
diate future. The remarkably low price
for silver is frightening away the timid
ones who would other wise be for us, and
the general tone Of public sentiment
seems to be veering q little to the single
standard side Of the controversy. The
silver situation lie not to-day as hopeful
as n was three months ago. There
ought TO be some intelligent voting done
in the Western States this Fall. II will
not do to give up the struggle in despair.
