Magnets Pat TO Work.

This seems to be emphatic the
age Of work. Elephants have been
set to pulling stumps and rolling logs.
and now electro.magnets have been
pressed into service In England for
the lifting Of heavy masses Of iron and
steel. The magnets are attached to
cranes, and are operated by a current
from an electric power circuit. When
the current Is on they grip their load
with q lifting strength equal to two
tons, but when the current Is turned
OF they instantly let 90. An instance
Of tho application Of such a magnet
IL cited where work which formerly
occupied six men for ninety minutes
can now be done by three men and the
magnet In fifteen minutes.

That Terrible Charge.

The gold standard men can find
nothing in Bryan's record that is dis
creditable to an American citizen.
Driven to desperation they prefer the
terrible charge of having been born
in the State OF Illinois and being only
36 years OF age against him. To this
charge the Cleveland Plaindealer re-
plies as follows:
eat Bryan's age Pitt had admins
tered the British Government eleven
years. Napoleon had conquered Eu-
rope and was Emperor at 35, and AL
exander died signing for more worlds
to conquer at 80. Byron blossomed
in the garden Of English iterat ure

I,accept the declaration that the gold
dollar is the rich mans dollar and the
silver dollar is the friend of the poor
man. 7 have a!so come to the conclu-
sion that as the country increases In
population the amount of the circu
lating medium ought to be increased.
Follow that idea up, embracing all
countries of the world in the mind
and it is fact in economics that the
world does not possess to-day suffici-
emit amount Of money to carry on it's
legitimate business operations. Why
in Wall street / doubt il more than 3
per cent of the securities passing In
the course Of year are ever seen by
the men who handle the business.
The basis of circulation ought to be
increased.
at is rank heresy for Wall street
!, man to express such sentiments" re-
marked the major as he lighted fresh
cigar @but believe in being frank
and the time has come in this coun-
try when man ought to express his
sentiments. Make gold the circulat-
ing medium and you increase the grip
of the gold man upon the laboring
man. If one were to judge by the
newspapers of the East. the senti-
ment is all in favor of the yellow
standard, but anticipate many sur
prises to our gold standard friends
before the campaign has far progress
ed. The papers speak of silver advo
Gates as fanatics, ruffians, Populists
and anarchists. Such charges make
friends for the free coinage idea. They
talk about honest money and honest
government. Why. the public of this
country has been actually salivated
by the watering of stocks to the eX-
tent of hundreds Of millions of dollars
by the very men who are shouting the
loudest about honest money and hon.
est government. Intelligent people
will size those blatant prophets up as
they deserve. Take the history OF
Senator Brice and General Thomas,
his partner, who are so highly excited
over honest money. Look at the cor
pora tons they have wrecked and the
homes that have been lost through
the honest methods employed by such
advocates.
81 am sorry" continued the major
"tlIat this question of finance is in pol
itics. 1t is not political question
1t Is an economlc question and ought
to be treated entirely upon economic
grounds. Yet see men who claim
they are Republicans or they are
Democrats and they must stick to the
party of their fathers. If an intelli-
gent man will enter upon the study of
the financial question leaving out the
question of party and looking earnest
ly for the truth and 70, what is best
for the! whole country. have no fear
of the result. He will arrive at the
conclusion that the silver dollar is the
dollar needed to restore prosperity to
the nation. Even Wall street would
respond to the life giving influences
of the silver dollar and / venture to
assert that the silver dollar is the best
friend Of Wall street as it is the best
friend of the laboring man."

a Wall Street Silver Man.

A party Of capitalists, consisting
of Major J. L. Robertson, G. III. Bass
a leading capitalist of New York; G.
L. Hutchins, ex-cashier of the Third
National Bank of New York; Colonel
B. S. Church, one of the foremost by
drauic engineers st the country and
designer and constructor of the Gre
ton aqueduct; Dunbar Hunt, one of
the largest property owners of the
South; B. J. Robertson, son of Major
Robertson; and II. j. Mayha n
Denver Mining man, arrived from the
East last night and went up to the
Island Mountain placer mines to
day.
The INDEPENDENT reporter had a
few moments conversation with Ma
jor Robertson this morning and found
him to be an out and out free coinage
man. The Major said he had been
in Wall Street doing business for the
last eighteen or twenty years and that
he had been led to study the money
question through the shrinkage of the
volume Of business transacted by his
firm. From an annual Of business of
from 100000 to $3.50 600 net it had
fallen off to almost nothing TIE pros
perity promised by the revision Of the
tariff and the repeal of the Sherman
law had failed to materialize. Labor
had fallen to almost nothing and the
value of the farm products was below
the cost of production. The cause for
this state of affairs he attributed to
the appreciation of gold. "There will
be no prosperity in the United States"
said the Major, "until silver is remon-
etizad." Asked as to the strength OF
the silver sentiment in New York
City. he said when the votes were
counted at the next election the coun-
try would be amazed. Among the
farmers of the State the silver cause
was growing every day and the result
in the Empire state this Fall would
surprise the single standard advo-
Gates.
Major Robertson is cousin of SEN
ator Blackburn of Kentucky and one
Of the pleasantest gentlemen we have
met in many day. AS the time for
an interview was very limited, the
Major handed us copy of the Den
yer News containing his views on the
financial question, as follows:
alt Iuay appear odd that people who
have never invested in mines should
take notion to go into the business
at this time" remarked Major Robert
son yesterday, "but such is the case
with the party now in the hotel. We
have come to the conclusion that there
is money in mining il it is handled on
business principles and after looking
over the ground it is probable that
something tangible will result
Major Robertson is highly inter
esting talker and surprised Colorado
people to whom he was introduced
yesterday by announcing that he is
an out and out silver man. II do
not discuss the silver question at

eye. "as the sentiment is all the other
way on Wall street, but now that ] am
