firm Of chemists Of national reputation aud
unquestioned reliability The report of the

the water is as pure and as free from contain.
enetion as it ever was, which should satisfy
even the most exacting, for it has neen pro-
Dounce0 more thar oCce to be water of ey-
ceptionai purity and healthfulness. The re-
port of the chemists is as follows:

THE STORE ORDER IN ITALY.
Washington, D. c.. Sept 16.---The Ital-
ian government has set about the case
of breaking down the system which has
prevailed in the sulphur mining districts
similar to that which once obtained in
some OF our industries. of making pay
Tnent OF wages to miners through store
orders. United States Consul Seymour
has transmitted to the department OF
state, copies of a circular addressed by
commissioner for Sicily in all the dis
trcts( IN which he recites the fact that
the mine owners, instead Of paying the
workers In money, as agreed upon, are
accustomed TO furnish them with pro-
visions from their stores for which they
are charged exorbitant prices. This
practice, he says, IS unworthy OF a CIV
iized country. and tends to cause dis
content among the people.

confidence thus inspired has been a
most potent factor in the maintenance

at is the dpty of the secretary of the
treasury and of all other public Of
ficials to execute in good faith the pol
icy declared 10y congress and whenever
he shall be satisfied that the silver dol
lar cannot be kept equal in purchasing
power WITH the SolO COlidr except Dg re-
ceiving il in exchange for the gold dol
lar, when such exchange is demanded
it Will be his duty to adopt that course.
But if our present policy is adhered to
and the coinage is kept within reason
able limits, the means heretofore en-
ployed for the maintenance of the par
ity will doubtless he found sufficient in
the future and our silver dollars and
silver. certificates wild continue to cir
culate at par with gold, thus enabling
the people to use both metals instead
OF one only, as would be the case if the
parity was destroyed by free coinage.
Yours truly,
