MkINLEY AND FREE SILVER.

There are in Utah some Republicans,
not any great number, who are en-
deavoring to make the people of the
state believe that they can support Nc
Kinley for president and support free
silver at the same time. The thing
cannot be done any more than oil and
water can be made 70 mix. Only yes
gation from Pennsylvania, said: 1--WE
neither want short work nor short dol
lars in the United States. We neither
want free trade nor free silver in the
United States. We want an opportun-
ity to work and we want when we
paid in dollars worth as much the week
after they are received as on the day
of their receipt. Free trade has cheated
you in your wages and we do not pro-
pose to permit free silver to cheaper
US in our pay"
when he says free trade has cheated
you in your wages and we do not pro-
! pose to permit free silver to cheat US
in our pay" The country hasn't got
free trede, never has had it, and it will
never have free silver if Mckinley is
elected.
If this country had free silver that
opportunity to work of which the sin
gle gold standard candidate talks so
much and SO glibIy would be afforded
the people, yet he is doing all in his
power to prevent that very thing
which would give that very work the
absence of which he deplores in such
true Pecksniffian style.
The people of Utah should ever bear
in mind that Mckinley, the single gold
standard candidate. declares that we
do not want free silver in the United
States. The people of Utah do, but
they will never get it if Mr.. Mckinley
can prevent it. If the people of Utah
know anything, they know that they
want free silver. Do they best know
what they want and what is to their
interest or does Mr.. Mckinley? They
do. Mr.. Mckinley says he doesn't want
free silver; the people of Utah say
they do. Could anything be more I'M
wise and suicidal for the people of
Utah than for them to cast their votes
for him? If the people of this state
desire to defeat free silver they should
work for the election of MIR. Mckinley.
He is pledged against it.

Where never the share of plow turned

Undermined were the trumpets of

Their slim tubes slipping out, wet with
honey;

White butterflies high as the elm-tops

Till down came the finch from the sum
And silenced them all with a chanson

That home he has built for the nesting

So softly he carols, the haWk mat movers,

Adventures of the Venus of Milo.

Adventures of the Venus of Milo.
The death of NJ. Henri Brest, whose
name was celebrated many years ago in
connection with the statue of Venus,
now one of the great treasures in the
Louvre museum, brings TO mind some in
terestlng souvenirs connected with that
statue. 1t was, indeed NJ. Henri Brest
who discovered the wonderful statue
which mad been unearthed by a peasant
in the island OF Milo, and who bought it
Oh MN for mere song in 1870. He soon
sold 1t TO NJ de Marcellus, through whom
1t reached the Louvre. The wonderful
statue remained undisturbed in the gall
lery of the Louvre, of which il was the
principal ornament, till the Franco-Prus-
sian war, in 1870, when the means OF pre-
serving it against the possible pillage or
the Germans caused great anxiety to the
curatorS. Few EngliShmen are probably
aware that the Venus of Milo was on
that occasion placed in an immense sort
of padded oak coffin and buried myster-
lousy IN great trench made TO receive
1T in the courtyard of the prefecture of
police. This was done in the middle of
the night, In the presence of very few
witnesses, with the object of keeping the
hiding place of the statue perfectly Sc
cret 1t was thought by the officials of
the Louvre that the statue was in perfect
safety there: but their anxiety for the
fate of the treasure was revived, after
the signature of peace, by the outbreak
of the Commune and the setting fire to
the prefecture of police and to the palals
de justice opposite. Fortunately, how
ever, when that instruction had been
put down, the curatorS of the Louvre, on
once more unearthlng the statue, found
it had suffered no deterioration The in
scrption on the pedestal of the statue in
the Louvre does not even mention the
name of NJ. Henri Brest. 1t relates sim
ply that it was bought by NJ. de MARCEL

French ambassador, who presented it 10

can enough to believe that every dollar
that William j. Bryan, by his Wilson
tariff bill, helped to send across the
water to be paid to foreign working
men was just one dollar taken out of
the pockets of the American working
men,"
If Mr. Thomas position is correct,
then 1T must be that the sending across
the water of any dollar under any tariff
bin is a dollar taken out Of the pockets
of the American worl1ingman. He will
hardly contend that it makes any diff
ference in the result whether the dollar
be sent abroad. across the water" by
a high tariff man or by a low tariff
man. But why did Mr.. Thomas confine
himself to the Wilson bill? Would he
have those who heard his speech, or
who may read it, gather the impression
tnat Qhere were no imports under the
Mckinley bill? The Mckinley bill went
into effect October 6, 1890; the Wilson
German bill went into effect August 1,
1894. 1t may be a good thing to show
the American people just how many
dollars the American workingmen were
robbed, according to Mr.. Thomas
theory, by those dollars being sent
across the water under the Mckinley
law, for the imports for which they
were sent We're the production of
