What Free Coinage Means.

The free coinage movement was
originated by the owners of the sill
yer mines. The mine owners desire
TO take to the mint 53 cents worth OF
silver and get dollar for it. Just
as well might the farmers Of this
county ask the government to raise
the price of bushel of wheat from
53 cents to Sl.OO. Indeed there is as
much logic in the one as there is in
the other and il the farmers OF Sny
der county are willing to allow them
selves to be hoodwinked by the de-
lusive arguments of the free silver 20
ties they will learn to their sorrow
that the free coinage of silver will
benefit only few.
The great cry now is that it will
benefit the debtor class. Let us see.
If the man who holds mortgage
against your farm learns that we are
going to have cheap money the
mortgage will be foreclosed or the
debtor will be compelled to
give mortgage payable in gold.
This very thing occurred in Sunbury
last week. A man needed 5000 to
pay on his home. He was compelled
to give II mortgage payable in gold.
The man who loaned the money said
he was giving money rs good as gold
and he wanted the same kind i'll re.
turn. He further stated that if
Bryan were elected all the mort
cages he held would be forcclosed
unless the borrowers were willing to
give him mortgages payable in gold
\ gang of populists and anarchists
stole control of the Chicago conven-
tion, forced upon the democratic
party the issue of free silver coinage
expecting to repudiate almost half
of their debts, expecting to pay 50
cent dollars for the 100 cents dollars
they received.
The West was developed and built
up by Eastern Capital and even now
the Building and Loan Associations
of the West are seeking Eastern
capital to build up their towns and
cities, to improve their land,
build their barns, stock their farms,
buy the machinery for their indus
tries and in fact for everything they
need to breathe new life in the in
dustries of the West.
They find fault with the banks and
bankers, they say the East is made
up Of gold bugs and usurers, but
they forget that the essence of theii
thrift is made up of the bone and
sinew of Eastern capital and East
Grn economy.
To clearly prove to Snyder county
farmers the fallacies of the free sill
verites' arguments we will admit,
for argument sake, that the free anG
unlim tied coinage of silver will rails,
the price of wheat and other pro
ducts. If the price of the com
modities the farmer has TO sell il
raised the price of the commodities
he must buy will rise in the same
proportion. But, truly speaking, it
will not be a rise in value of these
commodities, but it will be a reduc

Yellowstone Journal: Once more the
codes appear to be at fault. The ap-
praisers who heretofore have been re-
quired to put a general value on land,
a duty which any person acquainted
with the county could intelligently per-
form, are now required to value the inn
provements as well. This everyone will
admit cannot be done intelligentiy,
properly or even approximately with
out a personal kr owledge of such inn
provements. To ask or require certain
gentlement to sit in the court house at
Miles City and value the improvements
on a ranch hundred miles distant and
which they have never seen is an alb
surdity and yet this is what the codes
seem to require If the board of apprais-
ers of this county have correctly con-
strued them. The report is that they
understand this to be required of them
and they are going to do the best they
can, but in any event such an appraisal
must be mere guess work and not in

A Summer Hotel.

Clancy Miner: There is a well-found-
ed rumor in the air that the Great
Northern railway company will pur-
chase the hot springs and entire hotel
property and build a great natatorium
and summer hotel at Alhambra. Should
the railway company decide to do this,
and we are informed that negotiations
are now going forward looking to that
end, Alhambra could be made one of
the finest summer hotels in the United
States and it would not be the worst
place in the world to spend the winter
in. 1t is delightfully."- situated for the
purpose, two of the largest hot springs
in the country are located there, and
the only reason that they are not now
famous for their medicinal qualities is
the fact that they have never been inn
proved and advertised. In Utah and
Arkansas there are many such resorts,
crowded with visitors and guests from
one end of the year to the other, with
out half the merit of the Alhambra hot
springs. These springs are located
within fifteen minutes walk of Clancy,
and VIII some day. not very far in the
future, be crowded with visitors from
all parts of the world. All they need
is to be advertised properly and the
right kind of accommodations provided
for the entertainment of guests.

Jefferson County Sentinel: Persons
unacquainted with the undercurrents of
things congressional could see no signs
of the fierce fight for and against silver
in the quiet ending of the debate on the
free coinage substitute for the house
bond bill, now in taking of the vote by
which the house refused by a heavy
majority to accept that substitute.
That is because the contest was too
one-sided to justify any fighting outside
of the Congressional Record and that
which took place in the pages OF that
publication was for the edification of
expectant constituencies. But all the
same that fight has been going on from
the day congress assembled, every
where that either side has had a fight
ing chance to gain point. One of the
most important of these fights. involv
ing six silver senators, was this week
determined when the house committee
on territories by the slender majority of
one vote decided not to repeal bill adj
hitting Arizona to statehood. The COM
mittee did not divide on party lines. but
on silver, and this vote means that bills
for the admission of New Mexico and
Oklahoma will meet the same fate and
that the six recruits which the silver
senators expected from the three new
states will not materialize during the
life of this congress.
