Silver Monometallsm.

A farmer who lives near Column
bus, o., had brother living in
Mexico, who died recently, leav-
ing something Of an estate. Not
long since the administrator wrote
to the brother saying he was ready
to send $1,000 OF the amount due
him. The money was forwarded
by New York draft and the farmer
was highly indignant when he
received only 5000. The next in
stallment he thought he would
have expressed to him, but he
found he would get but $500 for
the thousand Mexican dollars
and would have to pay expressage
although there is more silver in
a Mexican dollar than there is in
our dollar. The advocates Of free
and unlimited silver coinage can
find something to think about in
this illustration OF the result Of
silver monom etallism.

for congress The convention was held
in Mt Pleasant and was one of the
most enthusiastic and best natured
ones held this year in Iowa. There
were several candidates, and all were
good men and would have represented
Iowa well in congress. Keep up the
enthusiasm and the First district will
give Clark a handsome majority. Mr..
Perkins, of the Sioux City Journal, was
renominated in the Eleventh district
after a very hot contest. Newspaper
men are in great demand and will
make good congressional timber. Re-
nominations are the order of the day
and no doubt the Seventh district will
do the handsome thing by naming Hon.

The Iowa STATE BYsTANDER is the
name of a new weekly paper estab-
lished in Des Moines. The editors are
Charles S. Ruff and Thaddeus S. Ruff
and John d. Reeler is the secretary
and business manager. Among the
stockholders are the best men of the
African race in Des Moines. The Ruff
brothers are well educated, experienced
printers and good writer's. Mr.. Thad
Ruff has been the editor of the '.Colored
Bystander Notes" in the Iowa Capital,
and the public has become familiar
with his ability as writer and thinker.
If we are not mistaken The Iowa STATE
BYsTANDER will take high ground and
keep it. The editors say:
THE Iowa STATE BYsTANDER is the
organ of no faction or clique. 1t has
entered the field of journalism for the
purpose of doing a legitimate news
paper business
The following good solid advice is
given, and it is as true as gospel to all
races of men:
''We should save our money, buy
homes and engage in business Many
a man has raised a large family and
bought property at very low scale of
wages. Keep your eye on the niclSles
and the dollars will care for them
selves. Buy reasonable things at a
reasona BILE price Purchase only things
that are necessary for actual consump-
ton. Confning oneself to the neces-
saries and not to the luxuries of life
cuts no small figure in the expense of
a household.
's,The greatest men are those who
possess the greatest amount of tenacity
and enterprise. Nearly, if not all. un-
dertakings are made successful through
these agencies. Success never came to
anyone only through hard and diligent
recearch. Determination is all in all,
Aased from a business or professional
standpoint. Study and the desire to
succeed has placed many man in ad-
vance of his fellow men.

five counties 1t is estimated that 2 900
colored men are employed in the coal
mines of the state. Agriculture is rec
commended as one of the most inviting
fields for operation and growth of our
people. A strong stand was taken
against young men and women in the
cities where work is bad and salaries
are poor, and that they should seek
other employment than that afforded
by hotels restaurants and private fam
lilies as common domestics. Mention is
made of the fact that college and high
school graduates were compelled to do
menial labor to gain livelihood. Th
report was very good.
The committee on the state of the
country made a report which is sub
stantially included in the preceding
resolutions, differing only in detail.

From tie Chicago Record
Fully 500 colored men in Chicago have
entered business for themselves within
the last three months and many others
are preparing to do SO soon. Almost
daily small but enterprising colored
firms are springing into existence in all
parts of the city, especially on the south
side-in the district south of 25th street
and east of Wentworth avenue Vari-
Gus reasons are given for this business
activity Some say that capable color
ed men find SO few opportunities Of
fered in the commercial field that they
must start enterprises of their own.
The firm of Searles & Paige. dealers
in butter and eggs, teas, cotfees and
spices. is composed of two young men
aged "a and 10 years respectively.
They were both born here and educated
in the public schools of the city. F. d.

saved, and in partnership with a white
man put his last dollar into the bust
ness which he now owns. The business
requires the services of several clerks,
and Mrs Price, who is a graduate of
Oberlin college, acts as cashier of the
firm. It's stock is worth $500.
Another enterprising colored mer-
chant is j. w. Womack. He runs re-
tail ice-cream and confectionery store.
Among other colored men and women
who are coming to the front in busi-

Several colored men have lately gone
into the contracting business for them
selves, among others Berry Hooker and
J. N. Higgenbothem, contractors in
wood and masonry work. They are
now building the Golden flats, three
story brick building on the corner Of
