like wheat? That free coinage would
act as sort Of manure to stimulate
silver crop? The precious metals
cannot be created or manufactured;
they can only be discovered and
utilized. Taking the whole silver bust
ness into account, prospecting, dig
gfng. tunneling, working smelling and
the rest Of it, every dollars worth of
silver produced costs at least dollar
to produce it. Much labor in prospect
ing and developing is often altogether
lost. There are few really rich silver
mines. Some of them become ex-
hausted, and all the stimulating" in
the world would not put silver where
it is not. Summer following or winter
resting gives It no revival. nor will q
ratio of eight to one or other raise in
prices fertilize hole In the ground
or silverize a rnetalless mine.
OF course If silver were restored to
its old position as money, mines
which are now idle would be re-
opened and worked for all they are
worth. There would be an increased
output. Thousands of miners now I'M
employed would be put to work and
the silver product would be much
greater than at present. But that 1t
would be greater than the needs of the
times we emphaticaHy dispute, and
affirm that there are no data on which
to base a Just conclusion that there
would be too much metallic money, if
all the minis of the world we're en-
gagged in coming all the gold and sill
yer Of the world.

and he had better get into the process

sue is past. The coinage question is
in the air, and silver restoration must
be the next reform to engage the
energies of the party Of hard money
and equal rights.

The policy of settling the silver ques-
ton by international agreement is in ef-
feet fairly accented by both the great
parties and may fairly be called ma
tional policy. The recent operation Of the
bankers in securing government loan
at an exorbitant rate Of interest to re
store a gold reserve which they had
thrice depleted has immensely weakened
the cause of a single gold standard. It
has greatly strengthened the demand for
an impartial international reheariug of
this question, It has startled the popular
mind with q revelation of the pOssihili-
ties of gold-cornering which existing
conditions create. 1t has awakened
popular determination that If the govern

Fire in Montgomery,


Montgomery. La. April H. i5s,.
This evening at O'Clock an ALARM OF
fire was given, and the gulchiug smoke,
and roaring OF fire indicated that it was
the residence Of Mr.. ]. h. Williams The
Bucket Fire company turned ont in full
force, and, upon arriving at the scene Of
oonhagration, it was discovered to be the
unoccupied blacksmith shop in the rear of
Mr.. Williams residence, used by him q a
wagon shed. Prof. Majors arrived in
time TO save two wagons, having the mis-
fortune of burning his hands badly. The
only loss was the shop and one Old Hick-
DRY wagon.
It seems that Mr.. Williams little son
Randall asked his fathers permission to
burn some brush piles near by, and, it
being a dry day, one of them was little
too close. Randall saws by way of rec
ompense and consolation to his father,
that as soon as the fire cooled off he was
going to get the wagon irons out for papa.
