The Ignorance Displayed by the Opponents
of the White Metal.
In speech at Los Angeles, Cal, Gen.
Warner, president of the American BIZ
metallic league, said:
"Bimetallism is established on pure
" scientific grounds. and all the OBJ
iections bodied in the condemnitorv
cant phrases now i'll use have been al
ready answered thousand times.
..As to the coinage of the United
States prior to 1873, it is only igno-
rance that asserts that we never had
bimetallism before that time. There
was never day before 1873 when BIZ
metailism, which is simply the right
of every man to dig up both gold and
silver as money material and have it
coined at the mint as possessing all
money functions, was not esta blished
in the United States
jefferson stopped the coinage Of
the American dollar because the heavy
coin, fresh from the mint, went abroad,
while the foreign and half-worn dol
lars were in constant circulation here
at home. As all men are free and
equal before the law, SO are metals,
and the two metals ought to constitute
q money standard as equally as though
they were melted and used together"

ARE THEY HONEST?

Inc Goid Men Delight In Crushing the Peo
pie Under II Gold Standard.
The gold advocates say the free anC
unlimited coinage of silver would be a
dishonest currency. If they are honest.
they are bound to admit that the pres
ent gold basis is dishonest one-be-
cause its effects have been disastrous.
il has brought low prices, crushed the
railroads and saddled mortgages and
bonds on the industrial forces of the
country. 1t has caused doubt and I'M
certainty and resulted in the cornerina
of gold and discrediting every other
form of money. 1t seems to be de-
light for the gold men to have people
crushed under gold system which
they say Is honest. ANY other form OF
stealing or robbery could be justified
or defended with equal proprietv. Il
is all question of prices. If the
great body of farmers, mechanics and
others believe that 4 dollar should get
dearer and harder to get each year.
why then they should support the GOLD
standard? But if they believe that i;
is better to have seventy billions OF
dollars of property in the United State:
to keep its value and to pay more
dollars to those who produce the
wealth of the country, then they
should support silver. Every predic.
ton made by those newspapers which
claim to favor silver, yet fight it day
after day, has proven to be false. They
said, repeal the Sherman law" issue
more gold bonds and everybody would
thrive and times boom. They are all
false prophets, who knowingly or I'M
Willingly are injuring everybody il
the world. except the select few, like
the Ickelheimers, who have cornercC

SUCCESS in Plant Growing.

There is wonderful amount OF
truth in the following statement:
''Some persons have knack of making
all kinds of plants grow in the most
unfavcrable circumstances. l think
this is partly owing to magnetic at
traction existing between such per-
sons and their plants. The plants
seem to know that they are loved, that
they are household treasures, that
every new leaf and flower is as well
come as the new words and expanding
thoughts of baby to its mother. APP
parently unconscious of this they do
their utmost, and in places least
adapted for house culture of plants, we
often find stands or indiv iduals equal

ner.
The New York Sun has been declar-
ing up and down that the production
OF silver is out of all proportion to the
production of gold, and that, on this
account, it ought not to be coined on
the same terms as gold, being. in fact,
unfit for circulation as money, the con-
tention being that the cheaper and
scarcer metal becomes the greater
the necessity of using it as the unit of
value. This recently brought a shot
from the Wall Street Indicator. a
bright financial sheet published in New
York. The Indicator said:
The conclusion which the Sun de-
duces seems to be that e. metal which
can show such an enormous increase
In production must necessarily fall in
price. and hence be unfit for circula.
ton as money.
The Sun, however, is wrong in this
point 1t entirely overlooks the enor-
mons increased demand for money
which has taken place during the same
period. A metal which is incapa BILE Of
being produced in sufficient quantities
to keep pace with the world Increased
others, should be avoided as circulat-
ing medium. You might as well say
that beef alone should be used as food.
because, manifestly. the world is inca
pable of producing beef enough to sup
ply its inha bitants with food. We use
other meats for food mainly because
beef can only be had in limited guam
titles.
In the same manner silver is valua-
bic for use as money, because it can be
found in reasonably large quantities,
and because a sufficient quantity OF
gold cannot be obtained. When we
consider the indignities which have
been heaped upon silver, and the man
in which it has maintained its value in
the face of them, we can easily see how
valuable a metal it is, and how foolish
it is to attempt to lay it aside as

an arrangement by which the poultry,

arranged along the sunny side, with
walk extending the length of the other
side. The central grain building has

be stored in bins, the latter having
chutes to convey the grain to the first
