We call to the notice Of gold bugs The
following fact tsken from the tables Of
DR. A. Soetheer: From the year 1887 to
l742 the ratio between gold and silver
ranged from l4.a4 to l to 1878. From
lS43 to 1873 We find The ratio given by
Pexley and Abell to range from Is % ~
II "a. In 1872 II was 1853, IN 1873,
Is 92, and after the demonetization ac,
of that year Of crime and panic We car
watch it's course slowly but surely down
ward when bottom was struck in the
early part of the present year. In 1874
ii was 1917; 1875. 1859; 1876, 1888;
1877, 17.22; 1873. 17.24; 1879. 18.40 and
90 on. Since 1887 until 1884 silver wa
coined on parity with gold At the Is

over the yellow metal during all that
time. In 1884 the ratio WAS increased 10
l6 to / and from that time until the
decentralization act Of 1873 was passed

than its minting value. Why was II 80
10 1873 silver bullion was worth in the
London market $l.29s and in 1874 It
dropped off two cents, simply because Of
the action OF the United States. until in
1887 1t was only worth .93512. Dear
reader, do you suppose for q moment
thst If the United States was unable
to maintain the parity between gold and
silver that the market value of silver
bullion would have jumped from 80
cents per ounce to $l.22 by the passage
Of the Sherman purchase act? The gold
bugs are slippery cusses, but there are
many questions they will be unable to
answer before the campaign Of education
is over.

The Los Angeles Herald Of few days
ago published what is considered an un.
snswersble argument, from q gold bug
point OF yiew, against bimettallism.
1t argues that because only few million
dollars 10 silver had been coined up TO
1873, the people did not want the white
metal a. pocket money. 1t says that prior
to 1873 the worlds yearly product Of silver
was only 39,000,0O0 fine ounces and g..
0O0, 900 fine ounces Of gold. Now this Is
incorrect. There was mined in 1873
63 POT 900 fine ounces silver, with a com.
mercial value Of $50. .l2O 900 and a coin.
age value Of $Sl 800, 200. or q bullion
premium Of about three per cent. The
gold product for the same time was
about 4 $40, 900 ounces, valued at $685.
100000. These two items alone show
the Inaccuracies of the gold bugs when
they try to make point against the use
Of silver. But it goes OH with the same
inaccurate deductions. 1t says: In 1893
the production Of silver was 100, 900, 600
6ne ounces, or four times greater than
10 1873. The worlds product of silver
in 1893 was l33, 900 600 ounces, or .
little over twice as much as that Of 1873.
Gold had increased but twenty-five per
cent during this period, while the popu-
lst,on had doubled and the volume OF
business had increased one thousand
fold. At that time the expenditure Of
the United States was only 1924 .OOO, 900
while in 1893 it took on the enormous
proportions Of 81 600, ,OOO,O 900. What the
silver men contend Is that to have q

The Author Of Coin"

The organs of monometallism have
been forced to acknowledge that Mr..
VIM. H. Harvey, the author of
"Coin's Financial School," has be-
come too important to be ignored.
The New York Tribune publishes
his biography, from which we learn
that he was born in Buffalo, w. Va,
in August, 1851. His father was
Virginian, of Scotch-English extrac-
ton, a descendent of the famous
Harvey, who discovered the circula-
ton of the blood. His mother was
a Miss Hope, of Irish descent. He
received a slender education in
country log house school and rustic
academy, doing farm work between
times. At Is, he taught school and
later studied law. Then he went
west and made some money in real
estate speculations in Colorado, Utah
and California. After attending
several conventions of the trans Mis-
sissippi congress he became inter-
ested in the money question. He
went to Chicago and established a
weekly paper called Coin. He
brought out Archbishop Walsh's
"Bimetallism and Monometallism"
in 1893, Coins Handbook" Coins
Financial School," ga Tale of Two
Nations Chapters of Silver" by
Henry G. Miller, in 1894. His best
known work, 'Coin's Financial
School Up to Date" appeared last
March. He is not a great reader,
but is painstaking student of his
tory. He is not church goer and
has no fixed religious convictions.
In 1875 he married Miss Anna r.
Halliday of Gallipolis, Ohio, and has
four children, two boys and twogirls.
He is very fond of his wife, children
and home, and cares nothing for
dogs, horses, sports or outdoor life.
He is tall and thin, with face sug-
gesting much native force and de-
termination. He has pleasant
voice. though it cannot be called sill
yer toned. His dress is neat, but
not fashionable. Helena Herald.

world are showing decided signs of
exhaustion. This gold in the ocean
is held in solution by the iodine
which is obtained from the iodate of
calcium. If you mix gold with So
luton of iodine it can very readily
be reduced to soluble state, and in
condition, it can be prevented from
dropping through the water to the
bottom. Possibly the lower strata
of water contains certain consider
able quantities of precipitated gold
that has never yet been reached by
deep soundings. We know that it
is frequently released and dropped
by the iodine, for this latter is alb
sorbed by the seaweeds and plant
growths of the ocean. Along the
coasts of Great Britain, France and
Sweden the "kelp" or seaweed is
gathered and burned and then from
the ashes iodine is extracted. This
iodine in its simple form in the water,
before being absorbed by the plants,
holds the gold Of the ocean in solu-
ton.
"Formerly the iodine was in much
greater quantities than today, and in
past geological ages it abounded in
every body of salt water. Occasion

traces of iodine from rain water

showing that it has been taken up
by the wind and sun. Every time
this iodine liberates the gold it prob
ably drops to the bottom of the
ocean to form beds Of gold for future
generations. Should the ocean ever
recede from the Sargasso sea great
veins of preclpitated gold may be
found there Tor the fast forests of
seaweed are continually absorbing
the iodine and releasing the soluble
gold. Unless arrested by other de-
posits Of iodine the released gold
would rain down upon the bottom of
the sea in continued showers.
"The iodine which holds the gold
of the ocean comes from the iodate
Of calcium. The amount of free
iodine is not great in the ocean, but
it is constantly being liberated by
the iodate of calcium. AS soon as
this comes into contact with dead
organic matter it becomes decom-
posed, and the iodine is formed.
The amount of iodate of calcium in
the ocean as been computed at nearly
100000 of tons. This gives an
enormous quantity of iodine in one
ioriH, anu Wl1Te'er Tree lOulne is
found there gold is held in solution
in more of less quantity.
"From the results so far obtained
we may judge that in few years
efforts will be made on large scale
to extract gold from the ocean for
commercial purposes. The question
has hardly yet left the laboratory of
the scientist, but usually where there
is money to be made the transition
from scientific experiment to practic-
al application is very sudden. This
we may predict of ocean gold min

GAME OF SPIDER AND FLY.
There is no longer room for doubt
that the end sought by the Clark
Carnochan regime was to compel all
employees at the Broadwater to trade
at their shops, and it was plain that
a sort of "spider and fly game was
being worked by the company and
it's friends. Their aim was to grad
ually sift out all the independent and
self-respecting employees, retaining
only such miners as were willing to
bend the knee. After this their or

That body acted directly upon the
