THE FOUR BRAS.
Debt Paying Qualities of the
 White Metal.

The following Is copied from the Los Angslss Record. It is worthy of consideration of all who are in doubt as to the debt-psying power Of silver. Cut this out and paste it in your hat:
 There have been four debt paying erss m our national debt sirce 1866. The first era was from laCG to 1873, snd We call i. the "greenbacS era" be- cause the currency was greenbscks amt there was but little gold in circu- laiion.
 "The second, from 1873 to 1879. is the era Tn which the hints were closed against silver coinage.
 "The third from 1879, when we were ooining silver, to 1891, when we cessed coining it under the Sherman act, and this we cali the "ers of silver.'
 "The fourth was from July, 1891, to November, 1895, after silver coinage had ceased and We were on gold bass, and this we call the gold era" 1860. Pubic Debt S7,z1s 2s6. rz, Is6o-Is73. Greenback Era decease. ss35. 753. Iso is73-ls7e. Mints closed to silver.

 From the above the most ordinary reader will see tha. that during the five years after silver WAS demonetized we piled up sll6,ls3,239 on our debt and the natural inference is that if we ever intend to pay our national debt silver must bear its part to do this; it nust have equal rights with gold at our hints.

The Pioneer Miner.

We have homss and pensions for old soldiers, but where is the home for old miners? We surely owe them a debt of gratitude, ar d in their old age they should have honor and comfort, for they are the true soldiers Of progress. Let me tell to you the story
 Of the miner old and gray, With his head now bowed and hoary For he pioneered the way. He has sluiced the sliuvial gulches. He hse pierced the mountains old, Has thrown wide the door to progress In his ceaseless search for gold. He has filled the dArkes. forests,
 HAs let in the light Of dsy; He has sown that ~e might reap. He has opened wide the way. In his cabin on the bill side
 Up the aorRe'e may way, Calmly new he erokes his brirewood Once his life was wild and gsy. Backyard now his tho'ts are turning ,adssr. comrades gone before. nis,,sneiy heart is yearning T.s>the friends he knows no more. Never on bis knee has clsmbered The sweet children of his dream. Meyer by his side has wandered,
 Aiond wife, his hearts own queen \ For his fate, stern and relentless,
 Swept him onward day by day; Great his heart, his soul undaunted He has opened wide the way. Abi pathetic, sad, cad story
 Of the miner old and grey. Empty hsnds and heart hisp ortion He who pioneered the way.
