BEATS THE RECORD.
Sales at the Star Bazaar Unprecedente
In the Territory.


The Star Bazaar is having the great
est sale on record. Hundreds of peop e
are rejoicing at the bargains they are
getting, and well they might, for they
are getting goods cheaper at the Star
Bazaar than the merchants can buy
the same at wholesale. 1t is blessing z
for all, especially the poor, to be able
TO buy clothing, boots and shoes and
dry goods at such low prices in these
h, I'd times, and it is no wonder the
people are taking advantage of this
great bargain sale and crowding the
Star Bazaar from early morning until
late at night. This sale will only last
until March 18th Every BODY is trying
to get first choice They have fine
force of clerks, and every body that
deals in the Star Bazaar goes home
happy.

THE MINE OWNERS AT WORK,

Tho silver-mine owners are stirring
themselves most actively In behalf of
their crusade TO make this Government
buy their product at double It's value.
Indications may be seen on all hands
that money is being spent to propagate
their destructive ideas. and no one would.
Of course. spend money I'm such a cause
except men who expect TO make money
out Of II. The average free-silver poll
tician has no money TO spend in the
cause, and he would not spend Il II he
had. as most of them are perfectly in
different about IT. They are for free sill
yer because they think most of the voters
it II they thought the majority of the
voters were against it.
One of the evidences that the silver
mine owners are spending money to cir
culate their poisonous doctrines is the
wide diffusion of that delusive book we
have several times commented on.
Coins Financial School," This is being
scattered broadcast all over the West.
and it is now invading the South. or
course 1t takes money TO scatter this
absurd publication. and 1t is being scat
tered. The silver-mine owners are the
only people to put up the money.
All through the West there is evidence
of great activity In the silver camps The
Illinois State Democratic Committee has
called for a Democratic convention to
discuss the subject. and it is very well
understood that this means a movement
to commit the Democratic party of Hi
nois to free silver at 16 to !, which means
the destruction of the Democratic party
in Illinois. In Minnesota and Wisconsin
active movements in behalf Of silver are
going on. and one can see the movement
cropping UP all over the West
1t is perfectly plain to us that this is
a mine-owners movement. 1t has all
the ear-marks of a Fictitious movement,
inspired and bolstered up by money. and
they are of course. the people interested
to put up the money. We warn all people
TO be careful lest this monster rakes
them into his capacious nav.

cjples. II is entirely true that improve
