had been in this city the day before
the robbery and had a bicycle when
he left town, which taken with the
fact that the bicycle was found near

NOT TOO MUCH OF both.

Silver money served the human race
for 1000 years satisfactorily, until
John Sherman, President OF the First
National Bank OF New York, became
dissatisfied with it. The memory OF
man runneth not to the contrary,
when silver and gold were not medi-
ums OF exchange, going hand in hand,
performing the work for which God
Almighty intended them. When
Abraham bought a grave for his wife
he paid for it in silver-the first
monetary transaction recorded in his.
tory. To-day silver and gold are more
necessary to the human race than ever
before. The historian, Allison, tells us
that when Christ was born there was
$1,000 100000 OF silver and gold in
circulation in the Roman Empire.
After thousands OF years Of labor and
toll, the inhabitants OF all the world
have accumulated to this date but
about q, 200, 900, 900 OF silver and g.
O00,OOO,0OO OF gold. They can prop
erly be termed precious metals, as
there is precious little of it in sight
to-day, compared with our vast popu-
lation.
All the gold money OF the world can
be put in a block % feet square--can'
be hidden away in tho Rocheport
bank building, and il ons OF you
should go into the bank it is likely
you would not know that all the gold
OF the world was there. Do you think
it proper that all the debts OF our
country should be made payable in
this little block Of gold? Can't you
see how easy it is for designing specu-
latcrs to corner 1t and enhance its
value?
In America we have about $780,.
100000 OF gold and a like amount OF
silver. There is no danger OF there

A New Industry.

An Austin Reveille reporter was in
formed the other day that Il man by
the name of Reese was engaged in
killing wild horses in the Edwards

ting the hides and tallow. 1t is said
that the hides bring $3.50 and the tai

III the above statement is correct, it
will prove to be very beneficial to stock

man who goes into this business.
Many ranges throughout this State
contain thousands of wild horses
which are not worth the price OF
catching, and as they only eat up the
feed from cattle and sheep the SOON
er the ranges are depopulated OF the
wild horse the better for all concern.

are also several people engaged in
shooting horses for the hides and tai.

siivsri in Germany.

HH Ln
Germany is more than likely to
range itself with tho United States
on the side OF international bimetal.
ism. In very many respects the po.
sitions of the two countries are alike
as regards the question Of finance.
Germany in 1871 and 1873 enacted
laws demonetizing silver, making gold
the sole standard Of value and calling
IN all silver coins previously issued
and circulated in the states Of the
German empire. The result was that
Germany had to purchase gold for
coinage with her discarded silver, and
thus not only caused gold to advance,
but it deprecated silver. This did
much to deprive Germany OF the
great advantage she might have de.
rived from the French indemnity /.
The flooding Of the European mark.
cts with silver bullion, made from
melted German coin, had a strong
influence in forcing the states of the
Latin union in 1878 to close the mints
against the metal.
Germany. like the United States
has had difficulty in maintaining he,
gold reserve. She produces little
gold, and her gold exports are yer,
near the limit. In 1893 Germany inn
ported gold to the value of 1895,
OBJ marks, and the same year exnort
ed gold to the value Of lol. 575.76
marks, leaving IA balance Of 47,79o,
26I marks, or about sll. OOO, 900.
Germany has passed through a ne
Rod OF depression as severe us thai
experienced by the United States
and, whatever the cause may have
been. the people are clamoring for q
restoration of silver. The Prussiap
parliament has passed a resolution
calling for an international confer.
ence for the purpose OF restoring sill
yer to the coinage and has asked

Andrew Macon Superintendent oi
tha United States assay onioe in thi,
city, 1s Wall street. has been invest,'
eating for three months notable rob
beries at the mints, and has devised q
plan to stop them. says the New York
World. Yesterday he sent his report
with recommendations. to r. E. Pres.
ton, Director Of the Mint. Washing.
ton.
There were two thefts from the
Government mints which alarm the
Treasury Department. Henry s.
Cochran, a weigher, stole s2O0,o 900 from
the Philadelphia Mint, and employees
stole $4,000 from the Carson City
Mint.
President Cleveland called Director
OF tho Mint Preston to him, and ex-
pressed his belief that there must be
something radically wrong with the
system OF watching employees in the
minis. superintendent Mason was
summoned to Washington after that
conference, four months ago, and was
ordered to investigate the robberies.
When Mr.. Mason got to Carson City
he found that the regular Office Of the
Secret Service had been working on
tho mystery without locating the gull
ty men. Mr.. Mason, being an expert
in such matters, fastened the stealing
OF the greater part OF the $4,000 up.
on a man who is now under arrest.
"a queer thing about that case,-
said Mi. Mason yesterday, swas that
he had been robbing the Mint for
years, making false returns to cover
his stealings, and then found that an
other person in the Mint wa stealing
the same way. he dared not ex.
pose the thief, as in doingso he would
expose himself. So he had to make
the false returns for this other thief,
and was discovered through his ef-
iorts to cover up the other mans dis
honesty.
Cochran, who robbed the Philadel-
.hia Mint, stole bars Of precious met.
al almost daily, like the Carson City
Mint thieves. False returns have
been Mt the bottom OF the whole bust
ness. Most of Cochran's stolen gold
was recovered.
1T is said, but it is n fact that old
employees in the mints, men whose
honesty has never been questioned
through many years Of service, seem
% become afflicted with what might
be called a gold fever. They handle
'ortunes in precious metals every day
or years without taking a dollars
and then, without any moro
reason or need than they had before,
will begin to steal in a small way
Both Cohran and Jones we're many
ears in the melting departments of
heis respective mints and we're trust
d implicitly.
How is 1t to be arranged that they
'annot stealH' That 1 cannot tell you
nut 1 have sent my plan on to Wash.
1t Is a delicate matter to in
titute a system that does not appear
o submit the employees under it to
what might seem to DO unwarranted
Iuspicion Or Humiliation, but it should
Ne remembered that the character Of
heir work Is such that they must
ecognize that they have to be very
watched"
