history of the precious metals. The ratio
Of value of the two metals has never been
controlled by the ratio Of their production,
for two reasons First, because the pro
duction of any short period is but small
addition at most to the whole stock accu-
mulated through centuries, aud therefore.
not like commodities of preearious and per-
ishable nature which vary in value with
the supply Of each year. The other reason
Is that the law when it gave free coinage
to both metals at fixed ratio fixed their
price in an unlimited market and made
them legal tender for debts and taxes at
that price For fifty years, from 1850 to
1900, the ratio of production Of silver to
gold was as 40 to l, and yet it maintained
ratio of 3 to in valne. From 1881
to 1910 nearly two dollars of silver to one
of gold was produced, and from 1850 to
1880 nearly two dollars of gold to one of
silver was produced and yet there was no
corresponding variation of value. Silver
was at a premium in the United States
when demonetized in 1873, although
France and Germany had already discarded
it, We struck it down and we can put it
back. 1t went up when the Bland Allison
act passed in 1873. Prices went up also.
And gold instead of being driven from us
flowed to us. 1t went up when the Sher-
man act was passed 1t went down in the
SUMMER of 1898, when India shut its
mints, and went down again when the
Sherman law was repealed. 1t shows an
upward tendency now under the prospect
of monetization by the United States. If
we admit it to free coinage the two metals
will speedily grow to parity-gold coming
down as prices go up and as silver measur-
ably shares its functions, and silver going
up to coinage value The idea that
intrinsic value fixes the value of money is
absurd. 1t was disproyed when we had
the trade dollar, which intrinsically con
tanned more silver than the legal tender
standard dollar, and yet was worth less.
1t Is disproved today before our eyes by
the fact that one United States dollar will
buy nearl y two Mexican dollars, although
the Mexican dollar has more silver in it
than the United States dollar. 1t is more
valuable because the demand for money is
so tense in the United States and the
function Of the dollar in paying taxes and
debts Is so necessary that it lifts the bull
lion to dollar value s'There are those
who have eyes and see not, but the fact
is before them. There are those who
have ears and hear not. but the fact speaks.

MAUD MULLER-A NEW WEIR
SION.


From the Buffalo Commercial.
Maud Muller on a summers day,
Mounted her wheel and rode away.
Beneath her blue cap glowed wealth
OF large red freekles and first-rate health.
Singing, she rode, and her merry glee
Frightened the sparrow from his tree.
But when she was several miles from town,
Upon the hill-slope, coasting down.
The sweet song died. and a vague unrest
And n sort of terror filled her breast
A fear that she hardly dared to own,
For what If her heel should strike stone
The Judge scorched swiftly down the road
Just then she heard his tire exploded
He carried his wheel into the shade
of an apple tree to await the maid
And asked her if she would kindly loan
Her pump to him, as he'd lost his own.
She left her wheel with sprightly jump,
And in less than a jify produced her pump,
And she blushed as she gave It, looking down
At her feet, once hid by trailing gown.
Then said the Judge as he pumped away,
" 'Tis very fine weather we're having today"
He spoke OF the grass and flowers and trees;
OF ftwenty-miIe runs and centuries;
And Maud forgot that no trailii & gown
Was over her bloomers hanging down.
But the tire was fixed, alack-a-dayl
Tho Ind 90 rpmon nfed and rode away
Maud Muller looked and sighed, ''Ah me
That the Judges bride might be!
my father should have a brand new wheel
ofthe costliest make and the finest steel.
"And I'd give one to ma of the same design.
So that she'd cease to borrow mine"
The Judge looked back, as he climbed the hill,
And saw Maud Muller standing STILL
"A prettier face and form more fair
I've seldom gazed at, declare
''would she were mine, and today
Could make her put those hloomers away -
But he thought of his sisters, proud and cold,
And shuddered to think how they would seold
II he should, one Of these afternoons,
Come home with bride in pan falcons
He married wife of richest dover,
Who had never suecumbed to the bloomers' power
Yet, oft while watching the smoke wreaths curl.
He thought of that freckled bloomer girl;
lfthe way she stood there, pigeon-toed,
While he was pumping beside the road.
she married man who elerked in ia store,
And many children played round her door.
And then her bloomers brought her joy!
She cut them down for her oldest boy.
But still of the Judge she often thought.
And sighed DER the loss that her bloomers wrought
Or wondered if wearing them was sin,
And then confessed at might have BEEN
Alas for the Judge Alas for maid
Dreams were their only stock in trade.
For of all wise words of tongue or pen
The wisest are these Leave pants for menr'
All, WE'LL For US all hope still remains
For the bloomer girl and the man of brains.
And, in the hereafter bloomers may
Be not allowed 10 block the way.

D. G. Simpson, a prominent Smith
Valley rancher and stock man, ac-
cidentall shot a squaw at his home,
last Saturday. AS near as can be
learned, the particulars are as fol-
lows: The squaw was one who
worked for the Simpson family.
She was at work that day, when her
buck came to the house and told
Mr.. Simpson there was coyote in
the field. He took his rife, showed
shell into it and started for the
door, in which the squaw was stand
ing. In some manner the gun was
discharged and the bullet struck
the squaw. Mr.. Simpson saw at
once that she was dangerously in
jured, and sent for doctor to Yer
ington. All that could possibly be
done to save her life was bone, but
it was of no avail, and the squaw
died.

Mr.. Newlands is very anxious to
be renominated for Congress, and
he is also anxious to go east and
get into the thick of the silver fight
during the coming campaign, as he
argues-and that correctly-that
he can do more good for the cause
there than here. When he spoke
here Tuesday night he asked for an
expression from the people on this
matter, but they gave him none.
We do not know as we speak for
the silver voters of the entire coun-
ty, but we are certain that the vot-
ers of this precinct would prefer to
see him place his congressional
fight in safe hands and then go
east.
