in its way, is as much a
labor-saving device as the
sewing machine.
The Cooker can be used
on any kind of stove; it
can he used every day in
the year.
Any fire that will make a
tea kettle boil will cook q
meal. No steam or odor
escape into the room. They
are condensed in the Cooker
"a very valuable feature
not possessed by any other
Cooker in the world.

A PARABLE.

The gold bugs are now frightened.
Uncle Sam is going to cnt the wheat
himself. The situation of the inter
national bimetallist howlers is entirely
exemplfied in the following fable,
which, as to its moral, has ever been
taken as gospel truth:
A mother quail with her young brood
had home in wheat field. When the
wheat was ripe and the harvest time was
come the young quais suggested TO their
mother that ii WIS time u move. While
they were discussing IT, the owner Of the
field came near and was heard to say to
some one with him that he was going to
get his neighbours TO help him harvest.
The mother quail said to heryOung, 1--WE
will not move vet" Several days passed
and the wheat had grown very ripe. The
quail again heard the owner say that he
was going after some friends over in an
other neighborhood 10 help him cut the
wheat The mother quail said to her
young. Twill not move yet A few days
later when the wheat was so ripe it was
falling and going TO waste. the quai' S
heard the farmer say, Il am going to cut
the wheat m, self" The mother quail
then said to her young, Now we will
move; the wheat is to be cut.

EsoP JUNIOR,

In ''Coin's Financial Series No T.
there are a number OF fables Of un-
known authorship, but which certainly
must have been written by Esop
Junior. To those familiar with the
things Of today they are highly anus
ing and their application is MS clear
as 1t is strong. A few selections are
given:
THE OLD BRASS GOD IN THE MARKET
PLACE.
An Old Brass God, that had stood In
the Market Place for centuries kept bawl-
ing out Ia loud voice: There Is but one
God, and am He And he repeated
these words So Often that the Simple
People at last accepted them ms Veritable
Truth So they brought him all manner
OF Fruits and devoted large portion OF
their Incomes to him as peace offerings.
To this day they share with him most OF
the Products of their Labor. and you may
frequently hear them say: There il but
one God, and this is He"

A poor man who was very DESTROYS Of
Wealth, kept Wooden God In his house.

however, OF becoming rich. he constantly

The Moscow Mirror, in taking the
Salubria Citizen to task for little,
immaterial statement in regard to the
legal tender qualities of silver coin,
lashes itself into fury, and while in
its awful rage gives vent to the fol-
lowing bit Of idiocy:
By an examination of the laws and
history of the United States. it will be
found that silver occupies better position
than when the free coinage law, of which
we hear the populists pirate so much was
in effect. Then silver remained at it's
bullion value. while now silver dollar,
the bullion in which is only worth 6S
cents, is legal tender dollar of 100 cents.
Such rot as that is not deserving
OF reply. If its author would
spend one day reading on the subject
and were honest, he would be out
with an apology.

FUNNY THINGS IN FINANCE.

Boise Democrat.
Here is something that will tickle
depostors and show them how easily
the Cleveland Leader thinks they can
be worked politically: The saw
ings bank depositors of the United
States expect 10 be paid in money as
good as that which they placed in
the bank. That is why they will
vote against silver. How many of
the savings bank depositors deposited
gold? How many of the depositors
are paid in gold when paid? 1t will
not take savings bank depositors
long to answer these questions.
By chance and good luck the writer
was able to deposit $50 in the Cit
liens Savings association bank on
Saturday last. The money was in
silver dollars, worth, it is rumored in
political circles, so cents each.
This morning this depositor asked
this savings bank for $50, laundry
bill pressing for payment. Let us
see what the savings bank gave him.
l. A light-coored piece of paper,
bearing Hon. Daniel Mannings por-
trait, which says: eThis certifies
that there has been deposited in the
treasury of the United states twenty
silver dollars, payable to bearer on
demand"
2. A rather dull looking piece of
paper bearing Alexander Hamilton 8
portrait, having very green colored
back and saying: "The United
States will pay to bearer $40"
3 A much worn piece of paper
which says: elderly National bank
of New York will pay twenty dollars

to bearer. Also: "This note is Sc
cured by bonds of the United States
One thing strikes the deposltor
who has traded his 60 pieces Of silver
for three pieces Of paper, very lore
ibly. The United States figures on
these three pieces of paper most
prominently, and he has traded his
so pieces of metal of intrinsic and
commercial value for three paper
promises of no intrinsic value what
ever
Has not the depositer received just
as good money as he depositedY Yes.
He can pay that importunate laundry
bill with the paper money just as
readily as he could with silver
Would it not been the same had
the depositor deposited so golden
dollars? Yes.
Why?
The United States are security on
the paper
This depositor is simply one of
50, $50. 600 people OF the United
States in whose financial transactions
the mere name or promise OF the
United States seems to be enough.
But there are, say, so, 900 other
citizens of the United States, people
who deal in bonds and stocks, and
who handle millions as the SO, $50,
900 other people do laundry bills,
who demand money made especial
ly for themselves, a money that for
eigners will think well of; not q
money based on the honor Of the
United States, but upon the golden
honor of the United States.
Meanwhile it must strike the de-
positor aforementioned that il lie
would vote for being paid in as good
money as he deposited in that saw
ings bank, he must vote for silver,
for it buys as much AS that Liberty
National bank paper, and it wears
better.
