Two Tails Mines.

Mr.. J. G. McRae was up to the
Two Tails property this week to re-
port on the appearance of the claim,
to the Columbia Mining Co., of
Wisconsin. The incline shaft has
been sunk 115 feet. Twenty feet
was run in on the lead, the ore i'm
proving rapidly. 1t is probable
that another contract for 80 feet
will be let.

THE LADIES WIN.
The Supreme Court says that they
can vote.

The Equal Suffrage amend
ment has been before the supreme
court this week. The attorneys OPP
posing were Attorney General
Parsons and r. Z. Johnson, while
the advocates of the amendment
were represented by James H.
Hawley, William e. Borah and
others. The court took the matter
under advisement. The court room
was crowded with ladies while the
arguments were being heard, and
great interest was manifested.
On Friday the court handed
down its decision and held that the
amendment was carried at the re-
cent election. The opinion was
unanimous.
At the election the amendment
received 1926 vetes, while 622S
were cast against it. There were.
however, 29,516 votes cast for cleo
tors, and it was held by the state
canvassing board that majority of
that number was necessary to carry
the amendment. The question was
taken into the supreme court on a
petition for writ of review. In
deciding the case the court says it
is impossible to harmonic the con-
Aicting authorities on the subject,
but that the language of the section
of the constitution was considered
in connection with the language OF
other sections of the same article
clearly shows it was intended that
a majority voting on an amend
ment should be sufficient.
The decision carries two Other
amendments with it. One of these
does away with the office Of district
attorney. substituting county at
torneys. The other seggregates the
offices of probate judge and count.
school superintendent.
The ladies of Idaho are highl,
elated over the vote, and over tn
decision of the court. There is
general understanding that the,
will come down with both of thei
little footsie- tootsies on those fel
lows who turned up their noses ant
slured their claimss to recognition
during the campaign. 1t is safe t
say that not many of those fellow
who wished to keep them disfran
chised will get many of their votes

The following appeared in the
W Washington, D. c., Post, of Dec
ember 5:
Senator Dubois, of Idaho, return
ed to the city yesterday. He is as
full of fight for silver as ever, and
is confident of the ultimate success
Of the principles for which he stands.
There can be no doubt of the atti-
tude of those senators who left the
Republican party rather than disa-
VOW their allegiance to the cause of
of free silver, after listening to the
talk of the senator from Idaho
When told that Senator Carter had
said that he did not think the Sill
yer Republicans would longer at
tempt to block tariff legislation, Mr.
Dubois laughed good naturally and
replied, che didn't stay with us
long enough to find out what we
were going to do"
While he had no time to consult
with other senators during the
short time he had been in the city.
Senator Dubois said he felt quite
satisfied that so far as the Dingley
bill was concerned, there was no
show for its passage. at is a meas
ure which has already been con
demned," he said, land it appears
to be folly to waste time upon it
To my mind, congress should meet
pass the appropriation bills and go
home. The opposition to the Ding
ley bill was very strong in the last
senate, and when the republicans
count Senator Carter with them
now, they forget that Senator Petit
grew is no longer in their ranks"
cHANDLER's THEORY.
In reply to question of Post
reporter as to what view he took OF
Mr.. Chambers proposition to pro-
vide for a commission to work for
international bimetallism, Senator
Dubois said
"The gold standard men don't
want international bimetallism, and
the republican party put it in their
platform at st. Louis simply fol-
the purpose Of giving republicans
who had always posed as silver
advocates in the Middle Western
states an excuse for supporting the
Republican platform, which declar
ed for the single standard of gold
1t is folly to suppose that England
will enter into any international
agreement which will provide fol
bimetallism at the ratio of fifteer
and a half ounces of silver to on,
ounce of gold. as suggested by Mr.
Chandler.
England and all the credito
nations are the bene6ciries of tn
present financial system unde
which we have the gold STANDARD
in this country, and they will no
willingly relinquish this advantage
l have no doubt that some gentle
men who have always advocated
silver until the last campaign, will
be anxious to show they have no
changed their convictions, by urg
ing international conference, but n
one, l suppose, who has paid atten
ton to the subject will think for
moment that anything will b
effected by the seeming attempt T.
bring it about. The silver question
must be fought out in this country

IS market value and coined 1t into silver
honey. Having exclusive control Of the
mintage 10 coins only what il can hold ut
a parity with gold. The rrofitrcIrcsenting
the difference between the commercial
value of the silver bullion and the face
value Of the silver d llar. goes to the gov
for the benefit If the people.
The government bought ", silver bullion
contained in The silver dollar at very much
less than its coinage value. Ii paid II ont
TO its creditors and put it in circulation
among the people NJ It's face value of lW
cents or a full dollar. 1t required the
people to accept it a. a legal tcndcr and Is
thus morally bound to maintain 1t at a
parity with gold which was then as now
the recognized standard with us and the
most enlightened nations of the world.
Tho government having issued and cirtr-
lated the silver dollar it must in ono
protect the holder from loss. This obliga-
tion it has SO far sacredly kept. Not only
is there "A moral obligation but there is a
legal obligation, cXprdssed in public
statute To maintain the parity.
They Would Not BE Kept at Far.
These dollars. in the particulars l have
named. are not the same as the dollars
which would be issued under free coinage.
They would be the same in form but diff
ferent In value. The government would
have no part in the transaction except to
coin the silver bullion into dollars. 1t
Wauld share in no part of the profit. 1t
Would take upon itself no obligation. 1t
would not put the dollars into circulation.
1t could only get them as any citizen
would get them. by giving something for
them. 1t would deliver them 10 those
who deposited the silver. and its cOnncc-
ton with the transaction would end
there. Such are the silver dollars which
would be issued under free coinage of sill
yer at n ratio of rs to |. Who would then
maintain the parity: What would keep
them at par with gold: There would be
no obligation resting upon the govern
ment to do il, and if there were. it would
be powerless TO DO it. The simple truth is
we would be driven to Il silver basis
to silver recommendation. These dollars.
therefore. would stand upon their real
value. If the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at "A ratio of Is ounces of
silver TO l ounce of gold would, as some of
Its advocates assert, make SO cents in sill
yer worth 100 cents and the silver dollar
equal to the gold dollar, then we would
nave no cheaper money h a now, and it
would be no easier TO get. But that such
would be the resul&is against reason, and
Is contradicted by experience in all times
and in all lands. 1t means the debas,-
lnent OF our currency to the amount of
the difference between the commercial
and coin value of the silver dollar which
Is ever changing, and the effect would be
TO reduce property values, entail untold
financial loss, destroy confidence, impair
the obligations of existing contracts. fur

duccrs of the country, create a panic of
unparalleled severity and infiict upon
trade and a deadly blow.
Against any such policy am unalterably
opposed.

Believes the Law In Force i'm '92 Should
he Re-enacted.
Another declaration of the Republican
platform that has my most cordial sup
port Is that which favors reciprocity. The
splendid results Of the reciprocity arrange
ments that were made under authority of
the tariff act of 1890 are striking and sug-
gestive. The brief period they were in
force, in most cases only three years, wa
not long enough to thoroughly test their
great value, but sufficient was shown by
the trial to conclusively demonstrate the
Importance and the wisdom of their adop-
ton. In 1892 the export trade Of the
United states attained the highest point
In our history. The aggregate of our ex-
ports that year reached the immense sum
OF 81 ,O3O,21S, l4S, a sun greater by $780,
10000 than the exports Of any previous
year. In 1898, owing to the threat of un-
friendly tariff legislation, the total dropped
to $S41 ,665, 1874. In my Judgment, congress
should Immediately restore the reciprocity
section Of the old law, with such amend
ments, if any, as time and experience sane
ton as wise and proper. The underlying
principle of this legislation must, how
ever, be strictly observed. 1t is to afford
new markets for u surplus agricultural
and manufactured products without loss
to the American laborer of a single days
work that he might otherwise procure.

per capita Of money has been practically
the same during this whole period. The
quality of the money has been Identical
all kept equal to gold. There is nothing
connected with our money, therefore, to
accountf for this sudden and aggravated
industrial change. Whatever is to be
deprecated in our financial system, it
must everywhere be admitted that our
money has been absolutely good and has
brought neither loss nor inconvenience to
its holders. A deprecated currency has
existed 20 further vex the troubled
business situation.
Good Money Neve~ Made Hard Times.
1t is q mere pretenre to attribute the
hard times to the fact that all our cur
rency Is on a gold basis. Good money
never made times hard. Those who assert
that u present industrial and financial
depression Is the result of the gold stand
ard, have not read American history
Alright or been careful students of the
events of recent years. We never had
greater prosperity in this country In every
HELD OF employment and industry than in
the busy years from 1880 to 1892, during all
OF which time this country was on a gold
basis and employed more gold money in
Its fiscal and business operations han ever
before. We had, too, a protective tariff
under which ample revenues were col
lected for the government. and an &C
cumulating surplus which was constantly
applied to the
Payment of the Public Debt.
Let us hold fast to that which we know is
good. 1t is not more money we want;
what we want is to put the money we
already nave at work. When money Is
employed, men are employed. Both have
always been steadily and remuneratively
engaged during all the years of protective
tariff legislation. When those who have
money lack confidence in the stability of
values and investments, they will not
part with their money. Business Is stag.
nated-the life blood of trade is checked
and congested. We cannot restore public
confidence by an act which would revolu-
tionize all values, or an act which entails
a deficiency in the public We
cannot inspire confidence by advocating
reputation or practicing dishonesty. We
cannot restore confidence, either to the
treasury or to the people withouta change

The soldiers and sailors Of the union

The government that they served so well
must no make their lives or condition
harder by treating them as suppliants for
relief in old age or distress, nor regard
with disdain or contempt the earnest in
terest one comrade naturally manifests in
the welfare of another. Doubtless there
has been pension abuses and frauds in
the numerous claims allowed by
the government, but the policy
governing the administration Of
the pension bureau must always be fair
and liberal. No deserving applicant should
ever suffer because Of a wrong perpetratcd
by or for another. Our soldiers and sail
ors gave the government the best they
had. They freely offered health, strength,
limb and life to save the country in the
time of its greatest peril, and the govern
ment must honor them in their need as
in their service with the respect and graf
itude due to brave, noble and selfsacri-
ficing men who are justly entitled to gen
erous aid in their increasing necessities.

FavOrs Extension Of the Laws Already In
Force.
The declaration of the platform touch
ing foreign immigration is one of peculiar
importance at this point when our own
laboring people are in such great distress.
l am in hearty sympathy with the present
legislation restraining foreign immigra-
ton and favor such extension Of the laws
as will secure the United States from in
vasion by the debascd and crimina classes
Of the old world. While we adhere to the
public policy under which our country has
received great bodies of honest, in
dustriOus citizens, who have added
to the wealth, rogress and power
Of the country, and while we welcome to
Il shores the well disposed and indus
trious immigrant who contributes by his
energy inc intelligence to the cause of free
government, we want no immigrants who
do not seek Il shores to become citizens.
We should permit one to participate IN
the advantages of our civilization who do
not sympathiZe with our aims and form
of government. We should receive none
who come to make war upon our institu-
ions and profit by public disquiet and
turmoil. Against all such our gates must
be tightly closed.

The Cause of the Change,

What a startling and sudden change
within the sho-t period Of eight months,
from December, 1892, to August, 1858.
What had occurred? A change of admin
istration; all branches Of the government
had been entrusted to the Democratic
party, which was committed against the
protective policy that had prevailed unin-
terruptedly for more than BE- years and
brought ~unexampled prosperity to the
country, and firmly pledged to it's COM
plete overthrow and the substitution of a
tariff for revenue only. The change hav-
ing been decreed by the elections in No
vember, its effects were at once antici-
pated and felt. We cannot close our eyes
to these altered conditions, o would It
be wiss| to exclude from contem-
platisn and investigation the causes
which produced them. They are
facts which we can not as u
people disregard, and we ran only hope to
improve our present condition by a study
of their causes. In December, 1892, we
had the same currency and practically the
same volume Of currency that We have

Reaching the top he halted. Casting
