mates every mint of Europe, with the ex-
cep,ion of that of France. At the behest
of this sordid influence every European
mint has been closed against silver, in orr
der TO double the value of the bonds
which the great capitalists hold against
the nations of the earth.
India is the best point of attack, and
the capitallstlc war against silver has be-
come serious when they find it necessary
to close the Indian mlnts. But they are
determined to force the United States
congress into the complete dcmonetiza.
ton of silver and the complete and final
establishment of the single gold standard.
The closing of the Indian mints to sill
yer has already depressed the price of
that metal, and silver mines and smelters
all over the country have been closed
down, men are beng thrown out of en-
ployment, and thus another causc for IN
crensed business stagnation will be added
to our present sorrows. The present de-
cline in silver has added per cent to the
value Of gold and gold bonds and in
creased the burden of all debts to de.
gree that is past all human estimation.
Where will the gold be got with which
to establish the gold standard in India?
With ull the nations of western Europe
struggling tor gold, where are we to get
gold with which to maintain the gold
standard In this country? There IS not
enough gold to 20 around whon every
body wants it. What is to be the result?
The intense competition for the yellow
metal is likely to double its price, is it
not? 1t would seem 80. And, if this IL
done, il will be likely to double the bur.
den of all debts. will it not? In that case
it will take five bushels of wheat to pay
debt which was contracted on the basis of
one bushel. 1t would seems 50.

Homes at the World. Fair.

1AOk0OD kAS GAA0 ~ VIk038 eotfs
There is no reason why any one should be
deferred from visiting the Worlds Fair by
rep son of possible Inconvenience and uncer-
tainty attending the securing of satisfactory
hotel accommodations. The Northern Pax
cific Railroad will in due time publish low
excursion rates to Chicago and return for
this occasion, while its double daily passen.
ger train service, inc luding through sleep.
ing cars of both classes (standard and tour
ist) to Chicago, will, as usual, be at the head
of the list in every particular. To help you
in fixing in advance upon your place of resi-
dence while attending the worlds fair, we
have placed in the hands Of agents at the
various stations along our lines book called
Homes for Visitors to the Worlds Fair"
compiled by perfectly Trustworthy parties.
This little book, which you can purchase
for so cents, contains list Of about 9, 600
private families who will accommodate vis-
itors in Chicago during the time of the fair,
viz: May to Oct. 80; gives their names
and addresses and number of rooms each
will have to spare. The book also gives
list of the hotels and their locations, and
has twelve full-page, large.scale maps, each
representing section Of the city; so that,
with this information before him, the in-
tending visitor himself can, at leisure, &C.
lect the quarter of the city in which he
would prefer to stop, corresponding with
one or more families in that locality with re.
gard to rates and the accommodations de.

Am Outsiders Opinion.

jamestown Alert: W. II. Beck, of Wash-
ington, D.. C., left for Montana yesterday to
be absent several weeks looking after his
mining interests He will return to James,
town later, for a lengthy visit, and to look
after his Investments IN this county.
Mr.. Beck states that many eastern persons
are fearing, from the financial stringency.
tllnt great shrinkage in values will occur, and
are putting their cash in safety deposit
vaults. The idea prevails in Washington
that congress will not repeal the Sherman
law-at least before january next, if 1t is
done then. A great many people with ready
money are anticipating getting property Of
all kinds at deprecated prices and making
great fortunes out of the necessities of those
forced to rcalize OH their holdings.
Mr.. Beck also says:
North Dakota land is bound 10 get to
the front. The residents Of any country,
where the food supplies can be raised as they
can here, need. feel no anxiety about the
ultiu,ste value of the land. 1t is cortain to
rise in price. Some years ago I bought sev-
eml thousand acres of rocky, broken and
what was considered worthless land in Ne
bnaska, from hard-up railroad company, for
GO cents an acre. l have since sold every
acre of it for pastumge for over IS an acre.
man can make living here on 16O-acre
farm if he does nothing else, provided he
works for 1t. He can raise potatoes, stock,
pork, grain and vegetables, and poultry
for his own use and enough TO sell for
family supplies. 1.-The will keep from
borrowing money at the banks--which he
can't do just now-it would be good thing
for the average farmer

Trip to the Fair.
The editor and his wife returned Sun.
day after two. weeks absence visiting
the Worlds Fair.
1t IS unnecessary to give detailed &C.
count of the things seen, as the newspa-
pers have for months devoted columns
and pages to the big show. We will
therefore give a few points that may be
of Value to those of our readers who in
tend to take the trip.
The greatness of the fair has not been
exaggerated. The Yisitor seeing the
White City is at first hlled with amaze
ment and awe; but, Sfter a few days
sojourn there, so hahituated does one
become to the universal grandeur that
he would hardly go out! of his way to gee
a captive comet. One soon gets on fa-
mll'ar terms with the grand and the sub
lime.
Is weeks time sufficient for visit ?
you ask. We answer, both yes and no.
1t is long enough to give you good
general idea of the fair, and to devote
some time to each leading feature. OF
course there must be considerable same
ness among the EXHIBITS in a given class,
and few people will care TO spend much
time before each individual exhibit where
a number are much alike In appearance
But to the student who wishes to make q
careful study Of details, six months could
be probably employed. Most people lin
ger longest near the appliances pertaining
to the profession Or business which they
follow when at home.
A short distance from the 57th.street
entrance the North Dakota building is
located, and the heart of every true North
Dakotan swells with pride as he gazes
upon the building and the exhibit so
tastefully arranged therein. 1t is truly
remarkable that. with such small ap.
preparation, Manager Dickey could have
erected such building and provided such
an exhibit. The North Dakota exhibit
in the agricultural building is also grand
As yet. Manager Dickey, Secretary Nc.
Ginnis and their assistants have had but
little time to see the fair, as their time Is
entirely taken up in receiving visitors u!
the state building.
What are the absolutely necessary ex-
penses of weeks visit to the fair? We
answer: Less than $50. Board and lodg.
ing in Chicago are as cheap as they were
when the writer lived there dozen years
ago: OF course~you esu spend xs much
money as you have with you but your
necessary expenses are about US follows

Crops Elsewhere.

The crops are better on the Missouri
Slope than the writer saw elsewhere dur.
ing his recent trip to Chicago. In the
Red river valley along the N. P. they are
very poor. The corn this side OF Chicago
Is all yellow and wilted. There was no
rain during the ten days we were at the
lair, and none for three weeks before.
The best wheat we saw was that of Tom
Sanders and Alex. Macdonald, in this
county between here and Bisma rex and
Mr. Sanders corn WAS the best We saw.
