that the present state of affairs

ordinary accommodations to their

hard to draw on their deposited
moneys in such form as to meet
their weekly payroll in the usual
way.
This is the situation, and it is not
improving but growing worse with
every days delay at Washington.
Bad as it is, it would become in
finitely worse If congress were to
yeild to the single gold standard

"GIvE Us EREE SILVER"

So says the Ne,O York Record,
one of the leading Republican
Journals of the great Metropolis,
Every other prominent daily and
weekly of New York except the
Sun has been bought or bullied by
the gold bugs and are attempting
to lure the people to their ruin.
So plain and forcible is the case
presented by the Record that we
give it to our readers. It says in
issue of Aug. 13:
"The Record believes that the
time has come when the will of the
people must be enforced alike up.
on congress and the president, and
the mintsof the United States be
thrown open to the free coinage of
silver.
The financial and business situa-
tion is admittedly bad. There is
no need to exaggerate it. 1t might
be worse. 1t will become worse,
much worse, unless congress and
President Cleveland can get to-
gether and relieve the existing
commercial congestion by prompt
and adequate legislation.
The president admits in his re.
cent message that the repeal of the
silver purchase law of 1890 will
not fully meet the exigencies OF
our situation. 1t is confessed on
all hands that to simply repeal the
Sherman act and stop there will
not leave our currency upon O
satisfactory basis, or provide for a

dium.
The business of this country can.
not be done upon a purely gold
basis. There is too much business
to he done, and too little gold to dc
it with, to justify the experiment
of currency based wholly OH one
metal, and that one the scarcel
and dearer of the two. The total
disfranchisement of silver as q
money metal, which seems to be
the aim of the gold extremists al
Washington, means a violent and
ruinous contraction of values. The
mere threat of it has already given
the first sharp twist to the screws
OF contraction.
To persist in the total elimina'
tion of silver from our currency is
madness. The lead of the gold
monometallists has been followed
far enough. 1t is time to call o
halt and demand that silver shall
be put back in the place it held fol
eighty years, from the formation
of the government down to 1878

main pillars of the American sys.

Stanton was visiting on Big creek Sun

Our reasons for changing the name OF
the creek from Kinney to Silver are: The
district was known everywhere as Silver
creek school district. Kinney creek was
called that by Ben Rich after his son
Who has the best right to name the dis
trict-Mr. Rich or the people of the dis

country, we have had many ups and
downs, and there were two great draw
backs in connection with bring
ing out the best possibilities OF
the place One was, many OF the
soldiers were unable to perform manual
labor required to develop it. and the
other was that so many of them were
wholly unacquainted with farm work.
Still most of them went to work with a
will, and that when followed up, never
fails to bring good results or bad if the
object be evil. Very few brought much
money, and some of them were rather
more lavish with it than was wise under
the circumstances. Everything was very
hard, money was scarce and provisions
very poor and high, and it was not a
wonder that the weak soon fled. Very
little was raised the first year, and many
of the men went away to work and things
moved slowly; but much of it came real
ly from lack of knowledge of farm life
But let the majority of them be placed in
the same position now with the store OF
knowledge gained here to draw from, the
result would be very different. More than
one have realized they cannot eat their
cake and have it.
don't mean to be critical only just.
Comparatively little was raised for about
four years, then most of them who had
grain in got fair crop. Courage revived
and many who had left returned and an
other failure sent them off again, but
many, holding their homesteads, returned
every six months to make their claim to
it good if the time ever came when it
would be worth having as they often ex-
pressed it. NELLIE DAVIS.
