The fact that the United States
mints coined 2,265, 900 silver dol
lars in the month Of August will
strike many people with surprise;
also the fact that since February
last more than eleven million of
such dollars have been coined,
and since November, 1893, more
than fifteen millions. Thus it
will be seen that during the past
six or seven months our silver
coinage has increased almost as
fast as it did under the Bland
act.

What Some coloradoans Think
of Woman Suffrage.

Mrs. Susan Rileh Ashley, president
of the Colorado Federation of women's
clubs expresses the following opinion:
Colorado women we're granted the
right of franchise less than two years
ago, but even in this short time they
have made their influence tell for
good, at least along thefollowing lines:
Their attendance at the primaries
and caucuses has had the effect of
causing very many men to attend
these meetings, who for years had left
this most important part of political
work to the men least fitted to per-
form it. Not only at the primaries,
at the ballot-box, and as Judges of
elections have the women of the state
(even those who opposed equal suf-
frage before it became a law per-
formed their political duties, but they
have as delegates participated in
political conventions, distasteful as
this duty is to them under present
methods, and have proven that unless
a candidates moral character is cor
rect, he cannot carry the woman vote.
The recognition of their responsible
ity as factors in government, has led
the majority of intelligent women
to study election laws and municipal
affairs, and they are earnestly and
persistently advocating a number OF
much needed reforms that meet with
the approval and encouragement OF
all good citizens and will, we feel GER
tain, ere long prevail.
Miss Minnie J. Reynolds of the
Rocky Mountain News says: The
difference that equal suffrage has al
ready made in the women of Colorado
is astounding. They are SO much
more interested in the vital questions
of the day: SO much better informed
upon them; SO much closer readers of
the newspapers; SO much better takers
on subjects of Importance, that the
difference is very remarkable to one
who has been an observer of the
whole change.
The philosophical writer, Lecky. in
the second volume of his ''History of
Rationalism in Europe makes the
remark in speaking of the education
al effect of suffrage, that if suffrage
should ever be granted to women, it
would probable, in the course of two
or three generations, change their
whole attitude of mind and habit of
thought. The intelligent observer in
Colorado will not doubt the truth of
that prophecy. for he can see the be-
ginning of it's fulfillment already.

Such an admission is simply a

The Evil of 1892 Doctored.

The Evil of 1892 Doctored.
What was that evil? 1t was
that silver and gold would not
work together in our monetary
system. The law tied them to-
gether but commerce put them
apart. The single silver stand
ard displaced the double gold
and silver standard. The in
ferior money drove the superior
out of the country. Commerce
said that gold was worth more in
the bullion than in the coin. and
silver was worth less in the bull
lion than in the coin. Business
regulated the value of silver and
gold and not law. 1t will do it
again.
The act of 1892 was in force
down to and including the year
1884. The mint went into oper-
alton 1898 so the period covered
was forty-one years, and as the
value of the silver coined was
more then three times the gold
coined this has been called the
period of silver in our monetary
system.
There is one fact about the
silver dollar of this period of in
terest at the present time when
so much is said about silver
money. The silver dollar was
the only dollar piece we had; and
it was the unit of value and
a universal legal tender; but in
spite of all this the people did not
like it and there was no great de-
mand for it. It's coinage was
discontinued after 1906 and was
not resumed until after 1884
after the doctoring took place.
It was not convenient money.
The people settled the question
of it's circulation as they do now.
There was a strong desire to
have gold again in circulation
concurrently with silver. There
were some who wanted to pro-
tect the gold producers, and
some who wanted to curtail the
bank note circulation based on
silver. They all wanted gold.
To again bring gold and silver to
circulate concurrently the
amount of silver in the
silver coins might be in
creased, or the amount of gold
in the gold coins might be les.
sened. The latter was decided
on. The change was to conform
to the actual relative value of the
two metals. The ratio of value
between gold and silver was
made one to sixteen instead of
one to fifteen. The bill. called
the Gold Bill, passed by heavy
majorities in both the House and
Senate. The result of the bill
was to make this gold standard
country. In 1887 there was an
amendment to this act which
affected both gold and silver. A
slight change was made in the
fineness of both classes of coins.
The proportion of pure gold in
the gold coins was lessened and
the proportion of pure silver in
the silver coins was increased
while the ratio was preserved.
In this way the act of 1892 was
doctored in order to secure the
concurrent circulation and
interchangeableness at par of
gold and silver coins. This re-
adjustment of the double stand
ard failed. The failure was on

Tho Butcher's Chase.

A Dundee butcher exhibited at his
shop door various articles, such as
sleeps heads, bullocks' tongues, etc.
Two thieves in search of their dinner
noticed the conspicuous and tempting
tongues at the butchers shop, and they
resolved to victimize him.
Accordingly one Of the thieves made
a rush into the shop, and hastily ad-
dressing the butcher said:
did you not see a big black dog
running away with a large tongue in
its MOUTH"
"Impossible" said the unsuspecting
butcher, who fancied one Of his tongues
was off, and seizing chopper he rushed
out Of the shop after the supposed dog

canine race somewhat answering the
description given, be made full chase,
but lost sight Of the animal at a corner
where a crowd of hangers on are always

appealed to the crowd by asking if any
Of them had "seen a big black dog with
a tongue in its mouth. "

one Of the crowd. "You stupid mani

A curious exhibit is in the Mechanics
fair. 1t is nothing more or less than a
display of "mummifed" plants. 1t re-
quires a label to inform the people that
they are dead, for the plants appear ex-
actly as if alive and growing. They are
not made of wax or Of cloth, but are
genuine plants that have grown in the
earth until they have reached q good
state Of development, when, by their
being treated to a certain injection, tho
growth is arrested. Then comes the
strange part, for the plants so treated
do not droop and die. The leaves re-
main fresh and bright, and the plant
stands erect 1t is, moreover, imper-
vious to heat and cold, and nothing
seems able to destroy its strange repose.
The most striking part Of the exhibit
is a collection Of large palms used for
decorating. These plants are noted for
being very tender and susceptible to al
most every influence. Those on exhibit
ton have been dead for six months, yet
not even when the leaves are carefully
examined would the fact be suspected.
The exhibit promises to create much in
terest among visitors to the fair, as the
many advantages Of having plants thus
impervious TO all conditions can be
readily seen. The credit for providing
the exhibit belongs to a New Hampshire
man, who discovered the process OF
treating the plants Boston Transcript.
