HOW PARITY is MAINTAINED.
Clear Explanation by Secretary Carlisle
as To the Effects of Limited and UnIim-
Ited Coinage.

tied Coinage.
In reply 10 IA question from life in
surance policy -holder as to the effects
OF free and unlimited silver coinage,
Secretary Carlisle wrote:
"In case free coinage OF silver should
be established In this country, pre-
sumo insurance companies and all other
institutions would continue TO nuke
their payments 10y checks and drafts
ON banks as heretofore. In my opinion
the whole volume OF our currency would
sink at once to the silver basis and
these checks and drafts would be paid
in silver dollar or their equivalent, in
stead of gold or its equivalent. as is now
the case.
IL presume no one supposes for mo-
ment that IL would be the duty OF the
government TO attempt 10 keep the
standard silver dollar, coined free for
J private individuals and corporations,
equal in value TO a gold dollar. or, in
Other words, that u would be the duty
of the government Co attempt under
a system OF free coinage To maintain
the parity of the two metals. The dol
lars would be coined on private account
and delivered TO private individuals and
corporations as their own property, the
government having no interest what
ever In them, and being. therefore, un-
der no obligation 60 sustain them by
guaranteeing their value.
Under our existing system all silver
dollars are coined on account of the
government and are issued by the gov
eminent in payment Of its expendi-
lures and other obligations, nnd II
would be an act of bad faith. therefore,
to permit them to deprcciate."

WILL MINE OWNERS CRUCiFY

Congress in 1883 passed an act making
silver coin subsidiary and limited its
coinage and tender. The countries COM
posing the Latin union did likewise i'm
1868, as did Germany In 1870, the gold
standard now having been adopted by
most all the civilized nations OF the
world. India, japan, Mexico and some
of the South American republics are
still silver countries. Chill, however, n
silver-producing country, convinced by
bitter experience, has just adopted n
gold standard.

RESPECT THE STOMACH.

Few people do have proper respect
for the stomach. If a thing tastes
good" and is not so hot or so cold as
TO be painful to the mouth or throat
il is swallowed by too many people re-
gardless Of consequences.
DO no. give the stomach food that
will irr,tate 1t or retard it in the per-
Torrance of its natural functions, or
II will retaliate in a way that is de-
cidedly unpleasant A headache, o.
"mmp." or heavy feeling in the
stomach, and irritations Of the SKIN,
are mostly symptoms Of d.sordered al
gestion resulting from unwholesome
food.
Alum baking powders are RESPONSE
be for the larger part Of this unWhole-
some food. for it is fact well recog-
nized by physicians that alum renders
food indigestible and unwholesome.
The danger TO health from this cause
is so imminent that it behooves every
one to adopt precautionary measures 10
keen alum baking powders, which are
now so numerous, from the kltcheh
stores. Ii viii be found that those
powders sold at a lower price than
ROYAL are almost invariably made from
alum. and therefore Of inferior quality
and dangerous to health.
The safer way is to look for the we'll
known red-and-yellow label OF the
Royal Baking Powder. That is certain
to cover the powder free from alum.
The Royal is made of cream of tartar, a
pure. wholesome fruit acid derived from
grapes. It is renowned for adding anti
dyspeptic qualities 10 the food, as well
as for making finer and better food.

Calling to mind the many thousands
who are afflicted with that obstinate and
unrelentlng foe of human health and han
plness-malaria in its various hideous
forms-there seems urgent need to give
still greater publicity to the one and only
successful remedy.
Peruvian Bark is known as the most
powerful antimalaTial article in medical
science; the difficulty is in INTRODUCING il

luteiy perfect tonic. 1t supplies the active
principle of Peruvian Bark in Continuous

The Carnival Town Providing for the

TRUCKER, CAL, Jan. 14.-Indications
are favorable for heavy storm, and local
weather sharps predict that there will be
several feet OF snow piled up within the
next few days. The usual cold snap which
follows these storms will place the ice
palace in the best possible condition.
Preparations are going right along for the

considerable interest and he viii be greeted
by all the residents of Truckee. His sub

fact that he was a member of that unfor-

ADVOCATES OF PURE FOOD,
Opening of the Third Annual
Convention of the National
Dairy Union.
Ex-Governor Hoard of Wisconsin Tells
of the Necessity of Shutting Out
Spurious Goods.

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 14.-Representa-
tlves of the diary associations of nearly
twenty States and delegates from the
produce and mercantile Boards of Trade
of the principal cities were present this
evening at the opening session at the
Sherman House of the third animal con-
vention of the National Dairy Union.
This organization has for its main object
the promotion of legislation to prevent the
fraudulent sale of adulterated food pro-
ducts, both oleomargerine and filed
cheese.
In the absence from the city of Mavor
Swift the delegates were welcomed by
Health Commissioner Kerr, and re-
spouse was made by Hon. James Hewes
OF Baltimore. Ex-Governor Hoard of
Wisconsin, president of the union, then
delivered q brief address. The sentiment
OF the country, he said, was pronounced
against the adulteration of foods.
1t might be laid down as a settled prin-
ciple that the honest food of the country
had right to the market as against the
counterfeit, IN the interest Of the people
ana aside from the fact that every pound
OF spurious goods sold deprived the farmer
OF that much market. 1t was matter of
eongratulatlon that i'll no less than twenty
TWO States there was stringent legislation
against the adulteration Of food products.

while the movement was in process OF
concentration in several other common
wealths. In the South especially the ef-
forts of the union were making progress,
while since the new law in Missouri went
into operation the traffic in aduterated
dairy products had decreased nine-tenths
The speaker went on to say that for
years he had labored to improve the STAN
dard of Wisconsin cheese until it was
quoted at the top notch in the foreign
markets, and yet to-day filled" cheese,
mostly made in Illinois, was being ex-
ported to such an extent that the protests
were coming in from boards OF trade, and
importers in England and even the United
States had been approached on the subject.
This demonstrated the need OF National
law by which the expectation OF filed
cheese might be prohibited.
After the appointment of committees
the convention adjourned until tomorrow
morning, when ex-Congressman Hatch of
Missouri and Dairy Commissioners Board
man of Iowa and Adams of Wisconsin and
Congressman Wilbur of New York will
speak on State and National legislation.
