Is, shall the United States havesilver monet

will be fought are being more closely drawn

The strength which the silver advocates
have developed in the West has been strik-
ingly illustrated by recent developments.
Colorado. Nevada, California, and other
silver producing localities, are for silver first
and party second, beyond possibility Of de-
nial. Senator Roach, of North Dakota, de-
clares that his party in that State Is for free
silver. A dispatch from st. Louis gives the
opinions of six Governors upon the letter OF
President Cleveland upon the financial issue.
Five of them, Governor Stone, Of Missouri;
Governor Richards, of Wyoming; Governor
Holcomb, of Nebraska; Governor Richards,
of Montana. and Governor Mcintyre, OF
Colorado, declare their opposition to Pres1-

silver champions of the West. In an inter-
view Just published Senator Stewart predicts
the biggest fight of this century on the cur
rency question when the new Congress meets.

PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get 500 and Perhaps
Make a Fortune.

We secure patents and to induce
people to keep track of their bright
ideas we offer a prize of one hum
dred dollars to be paid on the first
of every month to the person who
submits to us the most meritorious
invention during the preceding
month. We will also advertise
the invention free of charge in the
"National Recorder" weekly
newspaper. published in Washing
ton, D. c., which has an extensive
circulation throughout the United
States and is devoted to the inter
ests of inventors.
Nor so HARD AS IT SEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent
something strikes most people as
being very difficult; this delusion
the Company wishes to dispel. 1t
is the simple things and small IN
ventions that make the greatest
amount of money, and the complex
ones are seldom profitable. Al
most every body, at some time or
another, concrives all idea, which,
if patented, would probably be
worth to him q fortune. Untnrtu-
natelv such ideas are usually dis
missed without thought. The SIM
ple inventions like the car window
which could be easily slid up and
down without breaking the pas
senger's back, the sauce pan, the
collar button, the nut lock. the
boltle stopper, the snow shovel,
are things that almost everyone
sees some way of improving upon,
and it is these kind of inventions
that bring the greatest returns to
the author.
The prize we offer will be paid
at the end of each month, whether
the application has been acted
upon by the Patent Office or not.
Every competitor must apply for
a patent on his invention through
us, and whether he secures the
prize or not, the inventor will have
a valuable present.
