BY careful estimates based uron three
separate counts at the islands and other
data the conclusion is reached that at the
close of last season there remained upon
the Pribylov islands only about l7o, 600
seals. About twenty years ago the
estimates showed there to he on these
islands over four million seals. Here Is a
loss, despite the great precautions taken,
of over 95 per cent of the valuable nerds
in less than quarter of century, Some
doubtless will recall the learned disquisi
tlcns of Englishmen, who assured Uncle
sam that the sfal herds of the Pribylov
islands could in no way be injured by
pelagic sealing. In the light of these
facts the proposition for the government
to kill what seals remain on our islands
unless other interested countries unite
with US in adopting adequate measures
for protection, seems wise. As matters
now are the seals will soon be cxter-
minated and the United States will derive
no value from them.

A time for thought is a good thing

A time for thought is good thing
under some circumstances. In 1891
and 1892, under the Mckinley law and
before the election of free-trade ad-
ministration, when all our mills were
running and all the people at work,
everyone was too busy TO think, and so
the prophets OF the glories of free-trade
had things their own way. But since
the election OF free-trade president
and free-trade congress, and the pas
sage of free-trade tariff bill, we have
had plenty of time to think In fact, a
good many OF us often haven't had any
thing else to do but think. And be-
cause we have had time to think,
Major Mckinley will be the next pres
dent of the United States and protec-
tion to American industries will be the
policy of this country for at least an
other generation.

LINCOLN DIDN'T sAYIT.

Perry S. Heath, OF the Republican
national committee, has received from
John G. Nicolay, one OF President
Lincoln's secretaries, letter in which
he declares spurious" an alleged quo
tation from Lincoln, now in circula-
tion as a Democratic campaign docu-
ment. The quotation thus condemned
is as follows:
sMr. Lincoln said: AS result Of
the war, corporations have been en-
throned and an era of corruption In
high places will follow, and the money
power OF the country will endeavor to
prolong its reign by working on the
prejudices of the people, until all
wealth is aggregated in few hands,
and the republic is destroyed. l feel
at this moment more anxiety for the
safety OF my country than ever before;
even In the midst OF war God grant
that my suspicious may prove ground
less.
Mr.. Nicolay continues: This al
legged quotation from Mr.. Lincoln is
bold, unblushing forgery The great
president never said it or wrote it, and
never said or wrote anything that by
the utmost license could be distorted
to resemble it. Its origin appears to
date back to 1888, as it first obtained
circulation in little pamphlet printed
by radical agitator in Iowa, copy
righted on May 10 Of that year. 1t
appears there, as now, without expla-
nation or credit"

door being open, jumped down to the

lying by the stove, "Sick-em Tige."
"Tige" jumped up, ran around the
room, finally bouncing onto Polly,
pulling out his tail feathers and worst
ing him badly till he got back in his
cage. When the lady returned she
noticed Polly's forlorn condition and
asked him the cause. Polly replied,

The law of supply and demand. which
every farmer, every business man and
every working man perfectly under.
stands in his own occupation, governs
the price OF the precious metals just as
certainly as it governs the price of
farm pfodrcts, manufactures and labor.
There is another thing in this connec-
ton that ought to be mentioned-name-
ly, that these precious metals are not
consumed as they are produced from
year to year, as the other products Of
human industry are, but continue to
accumulate, which enormously increas-
es the danger and demonstrates the
impossibility OF maintaining a double
standard OF values. 1t is as certain,
therefore, as anything that human
philosophy and human experience can
ESTABLISH that the free coinage OF silver
at the ratio of Is to l will produce an
enormous depreciation of the value OF
the silver dollar and Immediately put
the United States upon the footing of
a silver standard alone. And this
standard will grow more and more de-
preciated as the production OF silver is
stimulated by the right of every mine
owner and dealer to turn his metal
worth only 81 to SO cents an ounce
into dollar, a compulsory legal tender
to every man engaged in labor, trade
or production.

SILVER BEING COINED.

The treasury department at Washing
ton reports demand for silver dollars
minted during the present year. The
impression seems to prevail that there
has been no silver dollars minted in
1896 and it is evidently the intention of
some who apply for dollars with the
1896 date thereon, to make political
capital out of failure to secure them.
So far the treasury department has
been able to supply everyone demand
ing these dollars. During the month Of
August there was coined 1850, 900, ac-
cording to the official statement OF the
treasurer OF the mint. And since Feb
ruary ], 1896, there has been coined
81, 2l2,4l2. The coinage value of sill
yer bullion, now on hand and on which
the minis are now at work, Is Slt6,-
749, 200. The capacity of the various
minis of the United States will not
exceed 100000 standard dollars in
the course OF year 1t will thus be
seen that the silver now owned by the
s. government and cashed under the
provisions Of the Sherman civil re-
quire 81 years for minting into dollars.

Mckinley: "Now, my fellow-citlzens,
what we want this year is to cast our
ballots for that party and for those
principles which will secure TO US the
greatest prosperity. We want no idle
men in the United States. We want
no idle mills in the United States and
to the end that we may have neither
idle mills nor idle men, we must do
our work in the United States and not
outside the United States. You may
disagree with me, but | believe in a
protective tariff. always have so be-
lieved and l have never felt called upon
to make any apology to anybody any
where for having been devoted TO the
great principle which promotes and
encourages American development and
gives employment and good wages to
American workingmen. Then, my fell
low citizens, having secured a tariff
that will defend American interests,
we want to continue the use of the
good dollars we have had since 1879.
We-want no clipped coins in the United
States. We want no debased dollars
any more than we want debased labor,
and when men have given full days
work, to an American employer, we
want that American employer TO pay
in dollars as good as any dollars any
where in the world and worth one
hundred cents every day and every

years ago the Republican ticket carried
by about | 900 majority. "In Belding,"
said Maj. Watkins, 1--WE have taken a
thorough house-to-house canvas and
find small silver majority in the city
which has always been Republican.
This is like little boy whistling in

majority than ever for Mckinley and
