Inquiry at the mint elected the in
formation that during the fiscal year of

about was told by Chief Clerk Robert

"All undercurrent subsidiary coins

1894 we received large sum in these
coins, but having an ample stock Of
dimes on hand it was not intended to
coin any of that denomination in 1894
However, when nearly all of this sub
sidiary coin bullion had been utilized,
we found On our hands quantity that
would coin to advantage only into
dimes, and into dimes it was coined,
making Just "a of them.
"My attention was first drawn to the
matter particularly by the receipt of a

Leaders Of Democracy

~. Louis Republic.
Men who organize a party on the
line OF great principle and lead it
to success do not cease to be leaders
when success is achieved. Rather
should their leadership be confirmed
and exalted.
William X. Morrison, Of Illinois,
Roger q. Mills, of Texas, and John
G.. Carlisle, Of Kentucky. gave the
democratic party the inspiration Of q

hem. but only three mighty men OF
valor who braved the Phillistines to
bring back the liie-giving water from
the well ut the gate.
And they are democrats. There
is no faint of mugwumpery in their
blood. Mills, of Texas, has reached
Washington and declared that the
extension Of law designed to force
life tenure in public Office and the
creation Of an official aristocracy i.
undemocratic and un-American.

In the reign Of lawlessness and
tyranny which has prevailed in the

to know that none Of the men with q

toward the city marshal and pulled
