coinage Of silver, and: that we had returned
tn:the paths of the founders of the republic
The Lodge resolution was then laid aside
without action and Hoar addressed the
Senate on Vests resolution as to bimetal-
lism. The Republicans, he said, stood
ready to hold up the hands Of the Presi-
dent and restore that prosperity which the
country had enjoyed down to March 4. He
entered upon long discussion concerning
the production of gold and silver, during
which he announced himself in favor of
both these metals as currency at parity.
He had always been a bmetallist, but it
was the bimetallism of Washington ard
Jefferson. shsch recognized gold as The
fiuer metal and necessarily the standard Of
value. The purchase of silver under the
act OF 1880 was a wasteful and extravagant
expenditure OF public moray. 1t could
neysr have hSrn excused bnt Is IN escRps
from the hat money OF the Bland OH aud
from threat of the absCiGfe free coinage
OF silver
Republicans are told daily. that II is
their duty to forget party and cooperate
with the President in renewing public con-
fidence and restoring a sound currency.
Republicans will do this" said the Sena-
tor. "Nnw let the Democrats deal with
them in the same way. No candid advo-
cate OF silver currency can affirm that the
people of the United States have not gone
TO the extreme of public safety in the
struggle TO maintain silver in connection
with gold as monetary standard. We
have purchased it. coined it and given it a
legal tender beyond its value for fifteen
years. During all tits time it has been
constantly on the decline. Even India has
abandoned it. look still for an interna-
! tioual agreement. and il that shall come
the relation of the two metals to each other
will be carefully reconsiGered. | do not
believe that policy of eteKnal m monometal-
llsm adopted in a time of panic could
stand. IL is enough for the present occa.
sion to say there should be no further coin
age of silver except by unanim consent
OF the commercial nations. Upon that
policy, If we adopt it voluntarily
We can stand. If we decline
to adopt 1t yOluntarily we shal
be compelled to it alike by loss of trade
and the necessities of all classes, chiefly
however, of the laboring men of the coun-
try. who cannot live without stable cnr
rency and a steady credit"
At the close Of HOar's speech the discus
sion was started as to the old questionso
responsibility for the demonetizati0n o.
silver. and was carried on for some time
by Stewart, Cockrell, Aldrich, Hoar anC
Sherman. The Senate then adjourned.

III WAS A FAKE.
That Was How the Lost Cabin Mine story
Turned Out.

That Was How the Lost Cabin Mine story
Turned Out.
One of the Oldest mining stories in the
history of Montana, says the Helena
Herald, lie that Of the famous Lost Cabin
mine, where gold had to be shoveled out
OF the way to make a passage to the door
OF the cabin. Several miners sworn to
secrecy met in a place in Wyoming re.
Gently and started out with a pack train,
under guidance of an old mountaineer
who claimed to know where the claim
was located, to find the long lost and
much talked Of Montana bonanza. After
a hard journey which was enough to
nearly kill all of their pack mules the
searchers for the Lost Cabin mine we're
rewarded by finding the cabin and tun-
mel. The cabin was constructed without
a nail and the tunnel had remained just
as 1t was left years ago. There was no
gold to be found anywhere in the vicin
ity of the legendary mine and the miners
who made up the party to investigate the
matter have returned and say, in Ian
guage more forcible than aesthetic, that
the Lost Cabin mine is the rankest min
ing fake of the nineteenth century.

tuesdays Elections Said to Be the Cause

CLEVELAND, Nov. 1.-THE Iron Trade
Review this week says there is an i'm
proved condition in tho iron and steel
market in consequence of Tuesdays
election, i'll results a sentimentalimprove-
ment at least. 1t may not show itself in
any advance in prices, but in a greater
willingness to trade. Iron and steel
manufacturers are protectionists and
their business practice conforms to their
belief. The hesitancy about concluding
pending negotiations for large amounts
OF iron, which we chronicled i'm
mediately after the election of 1892. was
the result Of a fear that values. which
had advanced % cents in the case of raw
iron. would recede. Reports from a
number OF sources indicate there Is a
feeling that buyers who have been pre-
dieting a slight change for the better in
the event of emphatic majorities in pro-
test against free trade. will enter the
market for larger purchases than they
have been making in the past four or
five months of depression.

highly satisfactory. The brickwork for
the Art building is all completed. The

will be little delay in the work. The
Mechanical Arts building may be said to
be practically under roof. only the glass
OF the skylight is missing. This will be

of the Horticultural building will
be of tin. painted to represent

that it will not take long to put this in
place. Another week of good weather
will put Manufactures builtEug under
