FREE SILVER DEFINITIONS.

The Windsor Hotel of Denver has
issued little pamphlet on free silver
entitled Golden Clouds and Silver
Linings,' which is a resume of the
gold and silver production OF the
state of Colorado. In the book are
numerous short articles on the silver
question and the one here reproduced
vas written by Charles Y. Barton,
associate editor of the Denver Times
and a former resident of St. Johns
bury. The article is entitled SIX
teen to One Defined and Explained "
Here is his definition and eXplana-
ton:
What is meant by the free and unlim-
tied coinage OF silver at the ratio OF six
teen to one ~
Answer:-It meaus that the govern,
ment shall coin all silver offered it, ac'
cording to the law OF 1897: that the
ratio OF value, III weight, on such coinage
shall be sixteen parts of silver to one o
gold. That is to say sixteen ounces OF
pounds ot silver is equal i'll value to one
ounce or pound of gold. 1t does not
mean that silver and gold must be coincC
/ together, necessarily, nor that the TWO
metals shall be mixed in any gold OF
silver coin.

The shock came at nine O'Clock in
the evening and lasted about five or
six seconds. A violent upheaval
and deep rumbing sound like dis

tons Of trouble. The earth actually
rose two inches, then with wave
like motion seemed to settle back
into its former place
People in their rooms had various
experiences. The floor rocked, the
walls seemed about to fall in, bell
ropes and curtains hung far out into
the room, vases fell 20 the floor, VIII

terrible rumbling sound was heard.
Every one was frightened and started
at once to leave the house. A ner-
yous Chicago girl tainted on the
stairs, pallid faces appeared in every
doorway. Once on the street ter
ror-sticken crowd was seen rushing
to places of safety. Parents hurried
along with their hali.dressed chill
dren. Ga every side were signs Of
distress.
The earthquake was over in a
short time but most Of the house
hold remained dressed all night and
everyone made preparations tor a
hasty departure should the necessity
come. The public squares were
filled with cabs in which people who
did not care to he under a roof,
spent the night. The next day many
left the city tor the north, not daring
to risk longer sjourn. The Chi
