FREE COINAGE OF
SILVER.

The free and unlimited coinage of
silver, the product of American mines,
at the old ratio of 16 of silver to of
gold, is the only solution of and
remedy for the disturbed and unsatis-
factory condition of trade, manufac-
ture and general business Of the coun-
try. The surreptitious act of 1873,
divorcing silver and gold in our none
tary system, was crime of untold
magnitude. 1t was the rankest kind
of class legislation in favor of the
wealthy against the producers of
wealth, and hostile to the prosperity
of the United States 1t was an act
of treason because donesat the instance
of European syndicate and for bride
money, 'giving aid and comfort to
our country's enemies" To shield
the guilty parties, the well authenti-
Gated facts, often published, have been
vigorously denied.
The Enquirer will continue to ex-
pose this objectionable crime until
right and justice are done the people
by the full restoration of silver to its
old companionship with gold. We
need the assistance of the people in
disseminating the truth, to which end
we invite all in your selection of pa
pers for the coming season to include

An Extra Eeavy Fish,

Frank auckland, who was my cousin,
told me this story. He belonged to fish.
ing club Oh the Thames, which held its
meetings once week, and the chairman
fer the evening was the one who had
caught the heaviest fish. On one occasion
Il Mr. Jones was the fortunate individ-
hal. 1t was tie first time that he had
earned the honor, and he was very proud
OF it, though his prize fish had only been
barbel. One of the members of the club
was unable to stay fer dinner and asked
Jones fer the fish to take home with him,
as it was not to form part of the menu
He consented. though rather unwillingly,
and nothing WIS heard CT tho matter till
the next meeting, when DucEl;.nd Glanced
to be present.
"a curious thing happened about that
barbel which Jones gave me last Satur-
day." observed its recipient 1T had
swallowed d little pike -
You will not mako me swallow that, -
observed Buckland confidently "A bar
bel could not do it. Its conformation
forbids it. -
You may theorize rs you like" re-
turned the other, but must be allowed
to believe the evidence of my senses. l
saw the jack taken o,?t of the barbel with
nay os9n eyes"
Il don't believe it, said auckland
The conversation. il fact, was growing
very warm, when Jones broke in with:
Don't quarrel, gentlemen. You are both
of you right. The fact is, was SO afraid
that somebody might catch a heavier fish
than that | Eollod the little jack down
