OUR POSITION.

Even here in Graham county, there
are those who find fault with the
GUARDIAN because 1t is fighting
the Republican party.
This paper, from its first issue,
took up the silver cause has
fought for it, uncompromisingly,
IN every issue, and will continue
to do so, no matter whom 1t pleases
or dlspleases.
The cause ofsilver is the peoples
cause, and we belong to the
people, and will always be found
as their champion. We are
fighting the Republican party
because it is the only one to
declare in its platform for the
single gold standard. We are
fighting those of the Democrats
who have declared themselves to
be for the gold standard just as
hard, and will continue to do so
until the end of time.
Any Republican who is in favor
of silver, and there are many who
are, cannot endorse his party
platform. IF he would aid in the
great cause he must come to the
support of Bryan, who is leading
the silver hosts on to victory.
Our course cannot be displeasing
to silver men, be they Democrats,
Republicans or Populists, for we
are fighting for principle, the one
on which the laboring masses of
the country depend.
Had the thing been reversed
and the Republican party declared
for silver and the Democratic
party against it the GUARDIAN
would be with the silver cham
pions, and if any are displeased
with our course we cannot help it,
we are IN the fight to stay.

How Sidewalks Are Calked.

TO mind IL food of recollections of his

sound he was somewhat surprised To
discover a ship calker sitting on the
pavement carefully calking the cracEs
between the fiagstonas Of the Sidewalk.
with uakum. while another man fol-
lowed with pot of tar. Inquiry brought
out the information that 1t was neces-
sary to make the sidewalk waterproof,
owing to the vaults which extended out
under the pavement AT certain periods
the cracks must be rccalked, and the
operation Is quite an expensive one.
The trade Of ship calking, like many
other things, is not enjoying the most
prosperous time in its history.
The decline of wooden ships, brought
about by the demand for those # iron
and steel, has caused many callicrS to

north of England ard in Scotland when
this country was in the hands of the

The beaver was numerous in some
localities in the north Of Wales in 94O

them much later in Scotland.
Reindeer were abundant in Scotland,
and were hunted in Caithness in the

Wild boars were numerous when
