THE STOCKHOLDERS COMPLAIN.
The Question of the Shrinkage
Puzzles Them,

FALL RIVER. Feb. 5.-Edward Shove
was elected treasurer Of the Mechanics
mill, vice Horatio n. Durfee. resigned. at
the annual meeting. Treasurer Durfee's
report showed loss of 800 on capital
of s750OOo, while in reality the corporation
made money.
Five per cent. on the capital was charg-
ed off for depreciation, and the stockhol-
ders complained. A lot of new machinery
has just been put in, and, even with the
duh market, it was difficult to see where
the shrinkage lay. The claim is made
that conservatism was carried too far.
There is no debt on the plant, and the cor
poration has $4,000 on hand. The old
board of directors was re elected.

The application of our Washing

afford to have its representative

tation to uphold.

it as the ornament of our sanctum,

UNCLE SAM AS A BUNkO
STEERER.
Salt Lake Tribune

comes pretty nearly proving that
on the quiet Uncle Sam is about
as near a bunko steerer as any gen.
tleman who has made doubtful
reputation in that same capacity.
He talks in parallels, but there is a
mighty point to the parallels
Briefly, he takes 100 ounces of sill
yer to Uncle Sam, and Uncle Sam
refuses to pay him more than sew
enty-five silver dollars for the 100
ounces. He thinks it is pretty
tough, but then Uncle Sam coins
and puts out as money from that
100 ounces of silver, 129 silver dol
lars. By that transaction, Of
course our venerable Uncle clears
$54. But our friend lives in a
cabin on a mountain top where it
is very cold, and he builds his
cabin of the strongest kind Of ma
terial-both sides and roof-to
keep out the cold and wild beasts.
One day when he is off at work,
the cabin burns down and it makes
such a terrific fire that it melts the
$75 into an unsightly mass. So he
takes that mass back to the mint,
and he says it is not in good form
and he would like to have the dol
lars coined over. The man in
charge of the mint figures up that
the stamp being burned off the sill
yer ceases to be money; it is a
mere commodity and only worth
to him $56.25. But the mint pro-
ceeds again to coin it and coins
seventy-fve more silver dollars out
of it. Thus far the mint has made
1925 out of that 100 ounces of sill
yer, and the conclusion of this gen.
tleman is that if he burns out three
times Uncle Sam will gobble the
whole business. At the same time
he sees his friend who has 1OC
ounces of gold carry it to the mint
and obtain for it 800 in gold coin
no charge being made for reducing
the dust or bullion to money.
This teaches him two lessons
the first is that in negotiating will
the mint, a man does better wht
has gold than one who has silver
that by some popularity the min
which used to coin silver as readil,
and cheaply as it did gold, nov
charges 81 per cent for doing tn
same work, and it's stamp is no
worth a cent after it burns off once
the silver that has once bee
stamped is just common, ordinar
silver when it is melted. He doe
not understand why moon-shiner
are prosecuted; he does not under
stand why gamblers are not cor
slider useful members of society
he does not understand why an
boy grows up honest as long as tn
great government over him, whic
is called the freest government Q
earth and the most benevolent
its subjects, will take 100 ounces

SILVER LOSES IN NEBRASKA.
The Boyd Faction on Top and Free Col
age Knocked Clear Out.

The Boyd Faction on Top and Free Coin
age Knocked Clear Out.
OMAHA, NEB., April 14-The Boyd fac
tion came off victorious in to-day's Demo-
cratic Convention by a vote of 800 to 81. A
resolution indorsing Cleveland and instruct
ing the delegates to the National Conven-
tion to vote for him was presented. An
amendment was made eliminating the in
structions to the delegation, and the resolu-
tion was then passed The convention rati-
fled the nominations for delegates made by
the Congressional districts, and then pro-
ceeded to the selection of delegates at large.
Governor Boyd was selected to head the
delegation by practically unanimous vote
Cleveland and tariff reform were the main
planks of the platform.
Congressman Bryan offered a resolution
favoring the free coinage of silver. Imme-
diately there was an uproar, and the con-
vention broke out. Congressman BRYAN
spoke in favor of his resolution. He was
supported by the delegates from the western
part of the State, where the Independents
are strongest, but the other prominent
leaders of the party were against him. After
a hot debate, lasting three hours, the roll was
called The silver men, believing they
were victorious, raised great shout. When
Chairman Beatty announced the defeat of
the resolution by 229 to 247, pandemonium
broke loose. The silver men made rush
for the stage, and, mounting the reporters
table, they shrieked that they were beaten
by fraud. Fifty men were struggling on
the platform at one time, but finally quiet
was restored, when the result of the vote as
announced was verified. After the selec-
tion of alternates to the National Conven-
tion tine convention adjourned

ALGER STILL In THE RING,

Although His Own State Delegates Are Not
Instructed for Him-They Are All Har-
rison Men-The Administration Warmly
Endorsed by the Convention at Detroit.
DETROIT, April IA [Special ] Some
heated contests and debates were expected
at the Republican State Convention to-day.
1t was uneventful, though, and did not af.
ford tart remark. The convention came
to order about noon, Congress
man E. P Allen presiding. D..
NJ Ferry, of Detroit, G. w. Wells, of
Saginaw, ID. A. Blodgett, of Grand Rapids,
and j. NJ. Wilkinson, of Marquette, were
named as delegates at large to the National
Convention, and their names were unani-
mously confirmed by reclamation. jay A.
Hubbell was chosen elector at large, and
minor selections were made.
While no instructions were given them,
it was clearly understood that the delegates
and alternates were Harrison men, though
the Alger men rely on them to vote for the
Michigan candidate. The Alger men made
no efforts to change the state of affairs.
Senator Mcmillan was reelected Chairman
of the State Central Committee by acclama-
tion.
The Committee on Resolutions presented
d
lowing paragraph:
We heartily approve the forceful, fearless
and dignifed policy of the administration
of President Harrison, who has been so ably
assisted in all his sagacious and loyal en-
deavors by that noble patriot and states
man, James G. Blaine, in the promulgation
of true and progressive American princi-
Piles. While the Republicans of Michigan
recognize the sterling worth and ability Of
our distinguished fellow citizen, General
A Alppr
milton as a Presidential standard-bearer
have been familiar to the people of the
nation since his name was first presented to
the convention in Chicago, in 1883, we can
safely leave to the collective judgment of
the Representatives of the party at Mime
apolis in June next the selection of leader
who will head the triumphant march of our
hosts to victory at the polls in November,
pledging to the winner of that convention
unqualified cooperation and answering
devotion.
The report was adopted amid cheers and
the convention adjourned.
