QUESTIONS ABOUT SILVER.


10 ask your VIEWS On bhe ioiio" iiS
questions:
IL If free coinage of silver were
adopted, allowing that the value of
property and products would be in
creased, would this not work hard
ship on the salaried man, for with the
price of everything higher, his salary
would not go as far to make purchases
as it does now?
''2. Would foreign countries accept
silver in payment of our debts to them?
Would IL not ruin our credit?
SO. Silver could not be shipped back
and forth like gold, as the bulk is too
great and it would cost too much
money.
81. Silver weighs too much for con
venience. People do not like to carry
it.
"5. If silver were given unlimited
free coinage, would it not result in
drawing all the gold out of the coun-
try aud leaving only silver, which, ac-
eording to nearly all contracts, is not
accepta BILE in payment Of debts, even
IN the United States9'
The question of wages we have dis
,ussed several times and have shown
chat wages invariably rise when prices
rise, because prices only go up when
the demand for goods increases. An
increased demand, as we showed in
an editorial lately means an in
creased demand for labor and conse-
quent rise in wages. Prices have fallen
enormously the last two years, but SO
have wages.
This branch of the subject cannot be
better answered than by quoting from
a reliable authority, who writes:
mo gold standard country has ever
oaid labor as high as the United States
The United States has never paid farm
laborers so poorly, nor was the product
of such labor SO low as at present, nor
was there ever SO many artisans and
mechanics working on half time, not
withstanding the efforts of their
unions to preserve the rate of wages
per day. The greatest reason for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver 10

Coming Statehood.

Is necessarily a subject that interests
every resident of Utah, because the
admission of the Territory means
great advancement and rapid strides
in the right direction, the influx Of
foreign capital, and the coming of
the new element, whose only aim
will be to build up the country, and
essentially to participate in the pros
perity that will follow. Between now
and the time the new star is put on
"Old Liberty" many things of grave
Importance will happen, and it should
be the wish and the care of every one
to keep thoroughly posted on the sit
uation, and the only way to do that
is to get the news regularly by sub
scribing for the daily or Semi Weekly
Tribune. The weekly costs but
rs cents for three months. You can
afford to spend IS cents for such a
cause, can't you?

GOLD BONDS.

A Decision by the Ohio Supreme Court
That May he Far-Keaching.
The supreme court of Ohio has de-
clared it unlawful for a municipal cor
poration to contract that it's debts
shall be paid exclusively in gold. The
case arose over a proposition on the
part of the trustees of the sinking
fund of the city of Cincinnati to re-
fund per cent. interest bearing
debt at 3.65 per cent. Capitalists were
ready with the money, but they insist
ed that the new bonds should be made
payable in gold. The case had passed
through the court of common pleas,
which ruled that the trustees were en-
powered to issue gold bonds The cir
cult court overruied the court of com
mon pleas and the supreme court sus-
tanned the circuit court. The decree
being issued in vacation time the text
of the decision will not be published
until September 1t is understood that
the subject has been treated exhaust
lively in view of the great interest tax
en- in the so called silver question. The
decision will, of course, affect the
policy of the national govern
,nent only by inference. But it
sets up principle that applies
with as much force to the transactions
of the national government as to the
Ohio state government. If the munich
pality of Cincinnati may not issue gold
bonds it is not clear from what source
the national treasury may get author
tv to issue bonds of that description.
If as assumed the Ohio court bases its
decision on the claim in the federal
constitution making gold and silver
the money of the people, any act OF
congress authorizing the issue of gold
bonds by the national government
would come under the Ohio ruling.
The principle advanced by the Ohio
court is by no means new. In 1896
Daniel Webster declared gold and sill
yer to be the money of the constitu'
ton 1t was not gold or silver, but
gold and silver "The constitutional
standard of value.' Mr.. Webster said,
''is established and cannot be over
turned. To overturu it would shake
the whole system" Webster was not
supreme court, but he often marked
out the lines upon which the supreme
court should act.-San Francisco Elk

A STORM AT SEA

Increases the discomfort of the voyagcr
But even when the weather is not tenn
pestuous he is liable to sea sickness. They
who traverse the giant wetness' should
be provided with Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters which quets disordered stomachs
with gratifying speed and certainty. To
the hurtful influence of tropic, malari-
GUS or too rigorous OF damp climate. as
well as to the baneful effects of unwhole-
some diet and bad water, it is a reliable
antldote. Commercial travellers by sea or
land. mariners miners, western pioneers,
and all who have to encounter vicissitudes
of climate and temperature, concur in
pronouncing it the best safeguard. 1t
prevents rheumatism and pulmonary at
lacks in consequence of damp and cold,
and it is an efficient defense against all
forms of malaria. 1t can be depended
upon in dyspepsia, liver and kidney
trouble.

The New York Bankers Committee
has just made its quarterly report of
the expenses of circulating gold bug
literature, the total going up into
many thousands of dollars. This
shows that it is the bankers and
money class alone who are interested
in pushing the gold idea-they are
the ones who are going into their
pockets for the expense. The rest of
she gold people are either the gulls OF
the hirelings of the bankers. The
mass are not active and the work OF
the committee gives the lie to the
assertion that the gold idea is a spon-
taneous growth of eastern public
intelligence adapting itself to modern
conditions. On the other hand, the
fact that silver literature and educa-
ton is being circulated and pushed
by the common people-the farmer,
the merchant, the mechanic, etc. =
who are bearing the brunt of the ex-
pense, gives the lie to the monomet-
allist assertion that the 'ssilver craze
is fostered by the silver miner who
wants value legislated on his product.
1T is the common people and not the
silver miner who is active in the silver
cause. If it were in the interest
solely of the silver miner, why is not
the silver miner doing the work for
silver as the banker is doing the work
for the gold standard?

The report for the month OF Sep
TENDER of the adjutant of the Idaho
Soldiers Home, shows that it cost
the state IS. Oh per week to board
the inmates. The state can get bet
ter board and lodging at hotels in
Weiser for the soldiers at q smaller
figure, and it would be economy for
it to do so. This may explain q
small part of the 15-cent raise in
state taxes, if taken in connection
with other fancy figures and facts

Whether it is whispered in the
breezes, exudes from the marshes
with the evening dews or where it
comes from we do not know, but
from cautiously prying around, we
do know that the idea pervades many
minds-and as many republican
minds as those of any other party,
too-that Governor Mcconnell is in
position just now where he would
like to pick up "a nice little bit of
money quick, and don't care how he
picks it up or whether he gets caught
or not as long as they don't put him
into prison. We say that idea per-
vades many, many minds, and when
1t it is found in his own party ranks,
1t is time to keep an eye closely
peeled on this land and timber bust
ness about which so much talk is
gong on.

Irrigation makes considerable
showing in the census of 1890. In
that year, according to the official
report, So, 5S4 farm owners in the
arid and subhumid regions Of eleven
states and territories were employing
artificial means of watering their
land, to the extent of 1864, 4l6
acres. The average size of these
farms was sixty-eight acres, and
their average annual production was
placed at ga, 80 per acre. The CEN
sus of 1900 will show large extern
sion Of the area irrigated The
various systems are still in the exper-
mental stage, but the main fact looms
up that irrigation will be one of the
leading elements of the American
agriculture OF the future, and it is
necessary to build our irrigation sys-
tenn upon wise and broad foundations.
The masonry of building is land
only upon foundation that has been
passed upon as sound and firm. We
cannot afford to erect our agricultural
structure upon an irrigation corner
stone that is vicious, weak, unsound
and deteriorating to the industry ii
