A GOOD many intelligent men do
not understand what is meant by
"16 to - when speaking of free
coinage. Some suppose it means
sixteen silver dollars to one gold
dollar. 1t simply means that a silver
dollar should contain, as it does now,
sixteen times as many grains of pure
silver as gold dollar contains OF
pure gold, viz: 371.25 grains of sill.
yer in silver dollar, 1922 grains OF
gold in gold dollar. The presen,
market price of silver, as compared
with gold, is about 30 to l, but the
silver men contend that free coinage
would advance the market price Of
silver until the commercial ratio and
the coinage ratio would be on a
parity, viz: 16 to /.

ratio of IL to l with gold by the
United States alone, Independently
of all nations, and can prove by the
best authority obtainable that such
a policy on the part of the United
States will raise prices, put plenty
of money in circulation and give
the 'honest debtor chance to pay
his debts, thereby making the whole
country prosperous.
"Now in the first place, it may be
urged by some 'who do not under
stand the subject of standard value
that a free coinage act for iron would
not raise its price to ratio of 10 to
l with gold. To them | must reply
that 'the stamp of this government
and the illegal tender qualities of the
iron dollar would instantly make the
bullion value of pig iron the same as
the mint value. 'Fcr who would
part with an ounce of this pre-
cious metal for anything else than
the mint value?' Stewart, Jones and
Brvan.)
"Again, it may be argued that our
mints would be overcrowded with
pig iron. | reply that the price of
pig iron having been raised from
$3.50 ton to a ratio of l6 to with
gold the world over, mo one would
especially care to carry it to the mints,
since the mint price could be obtained
anywhere in the open market At
lanta Constitution.) Next it may
be urged that gold and silver would
go out Of circulation. / reply first,
This is mere assumption of the
tools of the money power which they
cannot verify { Atlanta Constitu-
tion); second, Suppose gold and sill
yer do go out of circulation, is there
not plenty of pig iron to take their
places and give the people plenty of
money" Bryan; and, third, Such
an assumption mixes the ideas of
circulating medium and standard of
value; gold and silver would be still
potential money metals, though not
in circulation, and would lend their
help toward raising prices and caus-
ing general prosperity Crisp.
"Then, again, it may be urged
against the pig iron standard of value
that wages would not be raised in
proportion to prices. The reply is,
Wages would be compelled to rise,
since no man would be fool enough
to work for 81 day who could
make $1,000 day picking up rus
ty nails and old horseshoes and car

'In addition, it may urged by the
money power, by the wall street
sharks and the Bond street Shy
locks that we could not alone go
on a pig iron basis without an inter-
national agreement. TO such das-
tards as dare to lay limit to the power

they please, independently of all

Dishonest Free Silver Advocates

Under the above heading, the De-
troit Free Press publishes a rebuke
to the Tribune that is "pat" and
timely. The free silver organs that
resort to the tactics which are thus
condemned, are not all found in De-
troit. Our local pop gun organ of
reputation has used the same mis-
leading extract from the speech OF
Mr.. Blaine. It's attention has also
been called to the fact that it did
not fairly present the animus of the
of the speech, and that the context
and other passages give an entirely
different color TO the financial views
of the dead statesman. Our contem-
porary has not yet seen fit to publish
other extracts from Mr.. Blane's great
speech. Does it dare to do so now,
or will it leave its readers misinform-
ed and misled, as the Tribune has
done? The Free Press article is as
follows:
"That a great many of the advo-
Gates of the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver are entirely honest in
their advocacy, the Free Press is
very glad to believe, even while it
feels that they are grievously mistak-
en- in their notion that what they
seek will benefit the country or even
the classes for whose benefit they
are striving. We have frankly ac-
knowledged on more than one &C.
casion that the honesty of these men
and of certain of the newspaper or
gans of the free silver movement
could not be successfully questioned
and have insisted that it ought not
therefore to be condemned. At the
same time we have been compelled to
note that the free silver cause is also
advocated by men and newspapers
who are utterly dishonest in their adj
vocacy and who shrink from no fraud
in attempting to delude their hearers
and readers.
''The Tribune of this city is one OF
the most fragrant of these offenders.
For days it has kept at the head of
its editorial columns an extract from
a speech made by the late James G..
Blaine in the house of representatives
in June, 1873, which not only gives
an utterly erroneous view of Mr..
Blaine's sentiments as disclosed by
other passages in the same speech
and by the speech as a whole, but
which the Tribune knows to be a
gross misrepresentation of Mr.. Blaine.
1t knows this not only because it
must have read the speech in ques-
ton and discovered the fact, but be-
cause the fact has been stated more

THE STRIKE IN AUBURN.
Manufacturers Vote to Stand BY the
Affected Shop.

Auburn, March SO.-Ihere is little
change in the strike at the Pray Small
company s factory. The factory is run
ming full Grew except in the lasting de-
partment where new men are being en-
ployed to take the places of the striking
lasters. Lasting machines are also being
put in. At a meeting of the Manu-
faoturers' association Monday, all the
companies except one small concern,
were represented. The manufacturers
reiterated their decision to stand by the
Pray Small company against treating
with the strikers through the union, and
indorsing the firms proposition to deal
with the men as individuals or as a
shops crew.
The striking lasters say their interests
are in the hands of Boot and Shoe
Workers union, and will not treat with
the firm, except through the union.
They say that individual control is I'M
just, and favors the manufacturers. They
say that lasters can't make decent wages,
| or decent price for that kind of lasting.
General Secretary Eaton of the Boot
and Shoe Workers union, is still in
| town. The strikers say that other manu-
facturers needing lasters refuse them

LIVER CLOGGING.
When Your Stomach Clogs
Your Liver See to Your
Digestion.

Not one person in thousand knows that
the cause of biliousness is the clogging of
the liver by the poisons of indigestion.
Nor that the only proper cure for it is a
tonic to aid the stomach.
But modern medicine declares the truth of
t. And the Shakers have proved it by
the wonderful success of their Shaker ni-
gestive Cordial.
One of the most important uses of the
liver is to arrest and destroy all poisons
which try to find their way into the blood
When it's clogged it can't do this.
Undigested food ferments and putrefies in
the stomach, and the poisons of putrefac-
ton clog and paralyze the liver, after which
they find their way into the hood.
Here is the true explanation of all the
distressing disorders and complications
caused by indigestion.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is the only tonic
cordial which aids the stomach in natural
way to digest its food. By this means, it
cures Indigestion, restores the liver, and
frees the body from poisons and disease.
Headache, dizziness, neuralgia, mental de-
preston, weakness, bad taste, fever, tiatlI-
lence, constipation, loss of appetite, amaze
mia, rheumatism and many other disorders
are relieved and cured by Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial.

IMMIGRANTS CRoWDING IN.
Coming Over So Fast They Cannot Be
Cared For at Ellis Island.

New York, March 30.-Dr. Joseph Ii.
Senner, commissioner of immigration,
has been greatly perplexed for several
days past over the condition of affairs
at Ellis Island. The weighty problem
he is compelled to solve every afternoon
before leaving the island is how to care
for the large number of immigrants who
are daily landing at the immigration
station, large percentage of whom
must be housed over night.
The task is no easy one Friday night
there were nearly 800 persons sheltered
in the buildings on the island, yet there
are regular accommodations for less than
200. The same conditions have prevailed
for several days past. Last Tuesday
night 6g3 were housed, Wednesday 72S,
Thursday $50.
The prime cause of the overcrowdine
is the extraordinary influx of Italians
