WHAT 1T

International bimetallism means that
American silver shall be restored TO its
use when the foreign countries permit.
These foreign nations sell in this country
about $500, 600, 900 worth Of goods an.
nuslly. They take our goods in return,
10 payment for q portion of them, but it
is to their interest to compel us to settle
the difference, if there is any. and to pay
the interest on money we have borrowed
from them, in gold, which, by the disuse
OF silver as money, has greatly increased
in value. 1t is not likely therefor that
these nations will ever willingly consent
to the demonstration Of silver, because
it is not to their interest TO do so. They
are not silver producers and we arc.
They want to sell US their goods, and
take away from us as much Of our gold
as possible. and by shortening our money
supply, diminish our ability to supply
ourselves with goods such as they manu-
f~acture. We do at home, as the bank
| clearings show, one-fourth more business
every week than we do with these for
eign countries in a year. We do probs'
bly, as much more business every week, as
the bank clearings show we have done,
so that at home we do two and one-hali
times as much business in q week as we
do with foreign countries in a year.
Naturally these foreign countries are
anxious for a larger share Of this i'm
mense business. They hope to get IL BY
compelling us to resort to them fol
money rather than by using our own,
While silver was being purchased by the
Government, from 1878 to 1898 the
bonded debt of the nation was paid of
at the rate Of more than $40. 900, 900 Q

|. vERrrAHLE auaHrz QUEEN.

Mrs. Franc Kent, . plucky and comedy
and most interesting little woman. ar
rived recently from Pine Grove. the
busting mining camp this side Of Rocky
Bar. She brought with her samples OF
rock from one Of q group OF three claims
discovered by herself and located and
partially developed by her own hands.
To do this she bad to battle with the
elements and went forth amidst the melt
ing SHOWS Of spring at times that would
have made stslwart men hesitate to
leave the genial warmth Of the Preside.
She has been q resident OF the camp
about two years and upon her advent
could see no reason why her sex, adj
mitted to almost every other business
calling, should deprive her Of the privil-
eye OF wooing fortune from the ledge
ribbed mountains. After mature delib'
GRAFTON she decided in the affirmative,
and the result is that she now owns
property that bids fair to bring her
wealth.
The ledge on which her group is To-
Gated is six feet in width where exposed
and the rock has given IN average assay
Of thirty dollars in free gold. Now, il
anybody else can surpsss this showing in
richness and extent the Democrat would
be pleased to make a note of il. Life in
a mining camp and climbing mountains
face to face with nature in her varied
widest moods have not in the least de-
tracted from the womanliness Of the fail
prospector and miner. In TACT the scenel
encountered seem to have lent ar ad.
ditional charm to her personality. Mrs
Kent came down on business connected
her mines and will return in three o
four dsys.-Boise Democrat.

rALsr srArEnESrs ANSWERED.


W. II. Harvey. in . short article on
the financial question, 10 the June
Forum, exposes some Of the false asser-
tons that are being made by the gold
bugs. Anew Of the most pertinent retu-
t~ations are reproduced, as follows;
They speak Of the large quantity o.
silver coined since 1873. and point with
pride to the fact that the country re-
fuses to absorb il. But they do not sd-
dress themselves TO oGr argument that
the war made on silver, by which its
commercial parity with gold has been
broken, has made OF il credit money.
like nickel and copper. and that we do
not expect it to be used until its position
is restored and it is equally favored with
gold. There is no necessity for coming
silver into credit money; paper will an
swer as we'll. Its true position is re-
demption or primary money.
They will tell you that Mr.. Jefferson
stopped the coinage Of silver dollars Tor
"a years, but at the same time they will
conceal from you the fact that between
1892 and 1910 there were twice as many
dollars worth Of silver coined as there
we're gold coined, and that the mints
we're open to the free and unlimited coin
age Of both metals, and both were full
legal tender in the payment of all debt.
They also neglect to tell their readers
the reason Mr.. Jefferson stopped the
coinage Of silver dollars-viz: That be-
cause of the scarcity OF silver, fractional
coins served the people best.
They will tell you that the ''free sill
YER" men are in favor Of silver mono
metallism. And this is believed by a
great many people. This misconception
arises from the fact that we are trying to
restore silver-to give it free and unlim-
tied coinsge-the position i%t.once occu-
pied. 1t seems that many people do not
understand that gold now has, as it al
ways had, free and unlimited coinage.
So that in trying to restore silver, we
use the term free silver" but we are nc
less in favor of free gold" We are BIZ
metslIists. beIievingi in the free coinage
OF both metals.
The 50-cent silver dollar delusion hal
probably deceived more people than any
one fallacy connected With this subject
But il will not deceive them muct
longer. II gold had been ~demonetizet
and the minis closed to its free ant
unlimited coinage andsthe work Of re
demption money thrown entirely OIL
silver by the same nations, we shoul'
have had 50-cent gold dollars as meas
ured in silver. just as we now have so
cent silver dollars as measured in gold.
The question now to be settled !
whether we are to have an English gol'
policy or an American policy. As fore
seen by jefferson, gold, the rich man
money, is now ~'cornered," and we mus
go to the gold gamblers of Europe t
get it.

Secretary Of State Howell, who has
just returned from New York, gave the
Carson Appeal the following as the re-
suit OF his observations on the silver
question:
"In New York nine business men out
Of ten are for the gold standard, because
their interests lie that way. In Chicago
out of forty.eight wards forty.6ve were
for silver. The question is the general
topic Of conversation everywhere, at the
hotels, on the trains and in the streets.
people who two years ago never gave
the matter q thought, are now studying
the matter carefully with q view Of be-
ing on the right side. As soon as they
hear that a man is from Nevada they ask
him about silver, because men from Ne.
vada and Colorado are regarded as hav.
ing given the question more practical in
v~estigation. and they will listen atten-
lively to q man who comes from this
part Of the country, for they recognize
the fact that il was out here that the ag.
%itation OF the great question started.
"0ur Congressional representatives are
working hard for the cause and making
splendid Roadway. The Cleveland Con-
v%ention declined to discuss silver and its
action has driven many representatives
into the silver ranks"
