Government Partial to Silver.

The accusation is constantly being
made by the free coinage people that our
government is unfriendly to silver and
that it discriminates against the white
metal and in favor Of gold at every op-
portunity. The Hon. Charles +. Crisp
having made such charges, the Hon. 10.
siah Patterson wrote to Secretary Car
Isle to learn the exact policy i'll regard
to silver. The secretary replied on March
18, stating that "the legal tender gold
and silver coins of the United States
have been treated precisely alike, except
that greater efforts have been used to
keep silver coins in circulation than have
been made to keep gold coin i'll circula-
ton. " Not only does he always pay ont
silver upon request-when he can legal
~ do so-but, lie says, "it has always
been the policy of the treasury depart
ment to encourage the use of silver to
the largest possible extent, and in order
to accomplish this standard silver dollars
will be sent by express at the expense Of
the government to any one who will de-
post an equivalent amount in silver
certificates or in treasury notes OF 1890
with the United States treasurer,
but gold is not sent to anybody free of
charge"
Such explicit statements ought to pre-
vent repetition of such charges, but
people who make statements so contrary
to easily ascertainable facts are not usu-
ally much concerned about such little
things as facts.

Sound Money Declaration.

The following resolution, adopted by
the Boston Merchants association on
March 10, is sample Of the resolutions
and declarations being made by differ
emit business interests in many parts Of
the country:
Resolved, That the continued agitation for
free coinage Of silver stands in the way OF
revival Of confidence and business prosperity
and results in an enormous cost to the people.
The interest paid on government bonds is
only a small part Of the cost. All persons en-
gagged in farming manufacture or trade,
whether as producers or wage earners are
vitally interested in securing the permancnce
Of the gold standard Of value upon which the
business Of this country is transacted. 1t is OF
supreme importance that this question be i'm
mediately and finally removed from the sphcre
Of politics. We demand from each Of the great
political parties u sincere declaration by its
convention in favor of maintaining the gold
standard, so unequvocal that it cannot be
interpreted in two ways. We urge all citizens
to unite in vigorous effort to bring about
the selection Of delegates to the political con.
ventions Of both parties who will pledge them.

utterances in favor Of so providing for tho
maintenance Of the gold standard that its safe.

and who will not tolerate doubtful phrases or
Expressions for the sake of securing votes from
the advocates Of the free coinage Of silver.

How to get $500 and Perhaps

We secure patents and to induce people 10

States ana is devoted to the interests Of in

NOT so HARD AS 1T SEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent something
trikcs most people as being very difficult;
this deusion the Company wishes to dispel.
1t is the simple things and small inventions
that make the greatest amount ofmoney and
the complex ones are seldom profitable. AL
most everybody, at some time or another,
conceiyes an idea, which, if patented, would
probably be worth to HIM a fortune. Unfpr
tunately such ideas are usually dismissed
without thought. The simple invention like
the car window which could be easily slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
back, the sauce pan, the collar BUTTON the
nut lock, the bottle stopper, 'hesnow shovel
are things that almost everyone sees some
way of improving upon, and it is these kind
ofinven,lons that bring the greatest returns
to the author.
The prize we offer at the end ofeach month
will be paid, whether the application has
been acted upon by the Patent Office or note

of the heart followed later by sharp pains,
palpitation and weakened pulse, resulting in
fatal heart disease 1t also causes loss of
vitality.
