IT RATIFIED MEYER.

Meyer contends to this day that the only
thing that kept him from beating McAuiitrD
in that fight was the big amount ef money
that had been bet on him 1t was said
at the time of the battle that psopIs
at Meyers home, Sire ator, Ill, mort
gagged house, mules, carts, wagon sand cat
tie, and that one man mortgaged his homa
to get money TO bet that Billy would win.
Meyer told the writer that these things
had come to his ears, and that they were IN
mind every minute during the more thAa
four hours that heand Jack were in the ring :,
and that his wish to make sure OF at Least
saving his people their money kept him

DEMOCRATS WIN.
Those of indianapolis Elect Their Entire
City Ticket.


City Ticket.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 10.-The
republicans of Indianapolis suffered
the heaviest defeat in the history of
the city in the municipal election
Tuesday. Fairly complete returns at
midnight show that Thomas Taggart
(dem.), is elected mayor by about
1000 plurality and the rest of the
democratic ticket by about 1000. Two
years ago the republicans carried the
city by 3,1OO, and last year the city
went republican by 2,479 on the state
ticket. This change of $500 in the
ticket.
Taggard's plurality is. the largest
ever received by a candidate for mayor
in Indianapolis About 10000 votes,
80 per cent. of the total in the city,
were cast.
Latest unofficial returns indicate
that the republicans have possibly
elected seven councilmen out of
the twenty-one. While there was
some local issues involved in the con-
test, it has been regarded as political
one.

Clutching at Straws.

The Democratic papers, notabl y
the N. Y. World, are pointing,
with great exultation, to number
of large factories and mills where
wages have been recently raised as
proof not only that prosperous
times are ahead, but that the gem
eral Democratic policy was right,
after all.
l am quite willing to admit that
a raise in wages is a strong argu-
ment of O return of business conf
dence.
1t is not my purpose here to ar
que as to what that return of con-
fidencc Is due.
On that issue Republicans and
Democrats would naturally differ
violently.
What | want to show is the vast
difference between q raise in wa
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1895-08-01

ges from normal standard, and
a mall raise from the depths of an
abnormal cut.
II the democratic policy had been
followed-as was promised-by q
raise in wages over the general
standard prevailing in 1892, l
would frankly admit that aud
hundreds OF thousands of others
had been wrong, and that the Dem
ocratic leaders and their allies, the
Free Traders aud Tariff reformers,
were right.
But that was not the case. Dur
ing 1893 and 1894 wages we're cut
in all industries from % to 40
yes, even to 80 and 60 per cent.
Such cut in wages has not been
witnessed in this country in tho
memory of the present generation.
Ind now that, never mind from
what cause, a small percentage of
mills and factories have raised
wages 8 to Is per cent, from the
frightful cut of 93 and '94, the
Democrats and their newspapers
are out with shouts Of "didn't we
tell you sos Our policy is vindi.
Gated, after all !"
Why, even in the comparatively
few cases where wages have been
recently raised, the wages are still
20 to 80 per cent. below the
standard of '92.
Let US take case which will
cover very multitude of wage
earners.
Let US take the case of workers
who got an average of 50 a day IN
'92. that would be $12 a week.
The average cut in the wages OF
these operatives was about rs per
cent.
This reduced them to SO per
week, or about s1.50 per day.
Now there has been in some
cases-remember it is only some
q raise of 10 per cent.
This would give these operatives
a little less than $40 q week. and
they are still over 50 week behind
the average of 80.
Even in the very few instances
where the raise has been 10 per
cent, it is obvious that the wages
so raised arc still far below what
they were in '92.
The Democratic outburst is,
therefore, entirely premature, and
savors of that clutching at straws
which characterizes drowning men.

Drake, of Choteau. is the county
physician. For oldblooded, bar
barous treatment to persons under
his care he stands without a peer.
Last Sunday afternoon poor George
Legacy was shot, and word was
sent to the county seat to the
county physician. Monday came
and he failed to put in his appear
ance. That night DR.. Wamsley, of
Choteau, who was out here on
private business, was called in TO
see the man, but could do nothing
for him, as he had no medicine nor
surgical instruments with him.
Or his return to Choteau, how
ever, he put up medicine and sent
it out, and caused word to be sent
to the county physician that his
services were needed at Dupuyer.
Tuesday passed and no physician.
Word was again sent to Choteau
Wednesday passed, but no ply
sician was in sight, and poor
Legacy was suffering the tortures
of the damned. Thursday, about
noon, four days after the shooting.
the county physician arrived, ac-
compauied by the under-sh
On his way here Drake was re-
peatedly asked to urge his team
along, and told that the man was
probably dying.
1t is the Acantha's opinion that
physician with a heart as large
as chicken S, would call at the
bedside OF wounded man as soon
as he arrived in town, even if he
was three or four days in getting
there. But what did Drake do!
Immediately on arriving in town
he went to the house Of friend
and stayed there fully two hours
and half! He must have had a
heart of stone!
Word was sent over to Drake
while at his friends house that
poor Legacy was sinking, and the
messenger was informed that he
would abe over after awhile In
the meantime Legacy had died.
And this is the man who has the
contract for attending the sick aud
infrm poor of Teton county
With full knowledge of the fact
that Legacy was about to breath
his last, he calmly sat down to a
table and spent two hours in dis
cussing the various delicacies
spread before him No thought
had he then of the poor unfortunate
who was about to be ushered into
the great beyond.
While it is undoubtedly true that
this wound in the person f Legacy
was necessarily fatal, common
humanity demands that physician
who has been sent for, should cal
as soon as possible and relieve, as
far as he is able, the sufferiugs o.
the wounded man.
1t is one of the most fortunate
things in the word that Under
Sheriff Cramer was with Drake to
day. The citizens of Dupuyer ar'
justly indignant at the shameful
neglect he has shown in this case
Strong talks of a coat of tar ane
feathers for him were heard or

Random Shots.

The term "goldbug" seems to be
applied, by good many people,
very loosely, The word means an
individual who believes in gold, and
in gold alone, as the primary
money of the world. In other
words, gold monometallist A
"silver bug" is man who desires
to see silver alone used as priu ary
money; in other words, silver
monometallist A bimetallist is
one who thinks that both metals
should be used as final redemption
money.
A nan may, unintentionally, be
a goldbug by advocating that
course which will drive us to a sim
g'e gold standard. He may, un-
Willingly, be silver bug by advo-
eating such measures as will result
in the adoption OF the single silver
standard.
Of the two, if it must be one or
the other, the business men of the
world and those who have made a
study of money, would undoubtedly
prefer the gold standard If one
of the precious metals mus cease
to be used as money, most men
would prefer that one to be silver.
a great deal is said about silver
being the money of the people.
There seems to be q mistake some
where in this assertion. The peo-
pie are not generally over anxious
for silver. Suppose man owes
you tw ,nty-tive cents. He tenders
you twenty dollar bill or gold
piece, and you give him nineteen
dollars and seventy-tive cents, all
silver. Why does he kick? Sim
ply because he prefers paper or
gold. The most confirmed silver
bug on earth will ask you if you
cannot give him part of it in
gold or paper. He will even tai e
u check, which is not money at all,
for some of it, in preference to
loading down his pockets with
silver. If you owed ole thousand
dollars to the most rampant silver
bug in the country, you could not
earn his enmity more completely
by any other way than to pay him
all in silver dollars. short of not
paying him at all
~
The man who drives the quill is
a thorough bimetalist. He does
not believe in worshipping gold at
the expense of silver. L is but
fair to add that he does not sub
scribe to the effort which is put
forth to exalt silver at the expense
of gold.
1t is said that there is reason
for all things What is meant is
that there should be, for it is a
deplorable fact that the amount of
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1895-08-01

r' ason in some things is SO faint as
to be imperceptible.
1t would be hard to point out
any one idea which is seriously en-.
tertained oy any one, so utterly
lacking in all the elements of
reason, as that which seeks to
make silver the king and gold the
slave.
There Is one thing which is
easily apparent to every one. 1t
is an axiom, or nearly so, and does
not stand in need of any demon
stration. And that is the fact
that if I wish TO do business with
you, Unjust use the kind of money
that you will take. If I do not
pay you that species of money, we
cannot do business together. I
may think that chips and whet
stones are ve'y good money, but
if you do not want to take them in
payment for your goods, you will
not let me have any goods.
On this simple truth hangs sal
the law and the prophets in re-
gard to free silver agitation, which
is sweeping over the country.
This country is doing an i'm
mense business with the other
nations of the world. Every year
that business r, aches up into
billions OF dollars. We must,
therefore, use money which they
will accept. Should we refuse tc
do SO, business intercourse must
cease.
An individual agreement between
two persons in regard to the kind
of money which will be acceptable
to each, is necessary, if any busi
ness transaction is to take place
between them. Hence, all con
tracts are drawn up to be paid il
good and lawful money of th'
country.
But this only holds in that par
ticular nation. Should one coun
try have good and lawful none.
whi, h is not good and lawful none,
in another part of the world, i
cannot become factor in an,
business between the two nations
We can, perhaps, make silver un
limited legal tender in our .ow
country. We cannot make it eithe
unlimited or limited legal tender il
any other country.
Anyone can, therefore, readil
perceive that an internationa
agreement in regard to the use @
silver is an absolute necessity,
silver is to be used in any inter
! national business.
Should we proceed to coin silve
in unlimited amounts without an
: agreement with other nations, w
: will be reduced to one of tw
things. Either we must conduc
our business with each other on
silver basis, and our foreign trans
actions on a gold basis; or, com
: mcrcial intercourse with othe
, nations must cease.
. If we adopt the first method
, then gold, by having the large
, use, will be more in demand an,
; will consequently go to a premium
and disappear from circulation

that the money which goes to
