A correspondent writing from Mecu-

count Of an adventure whioh he had
with a moose while employed IN making
a toboggan trail through one Of the pine
forests in that section Of the country
While engaged at work he came across
moose yard and on looking around saw
one of the giants Of the forest about
so yards distant The story Of his en-
counter is perhaps best told in the cor
respondents own words:

Gold AZ crInnIe Creek.

The fabulously rich gold mining dis

attracting hundreds of people.
By spring the rush bids fair to be
enormous. That there is an abun-
nance of gold there is demonstrated
beyond doubt. Fortunes are being
rapidly made.
To reach Cripple Creek, take the
santa Fe route, the only standard
paupe line direct to the camp.

The Santa Fe lands you right in the

THE best way to get there is over

More than 20 years ago Robert q.
Ingersoll delivered speech in Cooper
Union, New York, to an immense au-
dience, and what he said there is close
ly allied TO the great issue OF the
present campaign. Here it is: 81 am
in favor OF honest money. | am in
favor OF gold and silver and paper,
with gold and silver behind it. |
believe in silver because it is one OF the
greatest American products, and am
In favor of anything that will add to
the value OF an American product. But
| want silver dollar worth a gold dol
lar, even il you make it or have TO
make il four feet in diameter. No
government can afford to be clipper
OF coin. A great republic cannot
afford to stamp a lie on gold or silver.
Honest money, an honest people, an
honest nation. When our money is
worth only 50 cents on the dollar, we
feel 20 per cent below par. When our
money is good we feel good. When
our money is at par that is where we
are. | am profound believer in the
doctrine that for nations, as well as
men, honesty is the best always, every
where and forever. What section of
this country, what party, will give us
honest money-honor bright-honor
bright? | have been told that during
the war we had plenty OF money. lived
years without seeing II dollar. | saw
promises for dollars, but not dollars.
And the greenback, unless you have
the gold behind it, is no more dollar
than bill of fare dinner. You can
not make paper dollar without TAX
ing a dollars worth of paper We
must have the paper that represents
money. | want it issued by the gov
eminent, and / want behind every one
of these dollars either gold or sill
yer dollar, so that every greenback
under the flag can lift up its hand and
swear, II know that my redeemer
liveth."

Speaking Of the probability that the
free coinage Of silver would snhsuoe
the prices of commodities Gov. Woloott,
of Massachusetts,, In a recent speech,
added the following comment pertinent
to the wage Garner: Does anyone sup.
pose that the daily wage of the daily
laborer will be doubled to meet that
increase in the price that he is to pay
for everything that comes into his
household? Let the pensioners Of the
nation pause and think of this platform
How many are there, $50, 900 believe,
that receive a fixed pension from the
United States. Do they suppose that
that will be Immediately doubled to
meet the doubling of values In all the
commodities that they buy for their
households? (Applause.) How about
the hundreds OF thousands of men,
the thrifty and prudent who
have laid aside something in the saw
ings banks on the gold basis? Do they
suppose that, when they go to draw
omething from their deposits, and ask
for 500, the generous gentleman and
liberal manager will hand them out
5000? No, gentlemen, the 500 that
they deposited on gold basis will be
handed out TO them on the silver basis,
and then with that 500 they will go
out to purchase commodities that have
doubled in price. Think Of all the
others who have bought little home
stead on gold basis. Do they imagine
that by the fiat of congress that is
TO be doubled in value? | say, let
every man in this community, and that
will cover all but II small fraction, let
every one in this community who has
been able by thrift, by prudent fore
sight, looking out for the future sup
port for themselves in their old age,
or their families, let them ask whether
this doubling of the prices of commod-
tiles is going TO benefit themselves.
That is the sort of argument, 1t seems
10 me, which must appeal to all To
check this great delusion."

The following is a terse statement
made by an investment house Of what
the free coinage of silver would mean
in actual practice: Free, unlimited and
independent coinage at 16 to |. would
mean dollars worth only So cents. The
wage Garner and the man on salary
would be paid in these, thus cutting
mis- income down nearly one-half, and
very debtor could pay his creditor
with these deprecated dollars. II il
,vcr became evident that the American
people were SO dishonest and 80 foolish
Is to adopt such policy there would
be a rush TO anticipate its effects. The
800 millions gold ia the country would
at once be boarded or exported, and
This enormous contraction would pre-
:ipitate "a panic with all its dread Sc.
Iuel Of Frustrated business, idle indus
.ries and unemployed labor. In the
rash and subsequent readjustment TO
The deprecated currency the rich
would get richer. the poor would be
eoorer than ever, and it would require
generation OF organized agitation 10
oring back wages TO their present rela-
i've purchasing power"

1t is being constantly asserted by the
Bryan Ii to advocates that the silver
dollar has been demonetized and is not
n legal tender. This is untrue. The
silver dollar coined by the United
States is an unlimited legal tender and
has been since 1878. Not bank or
business house ever refuses the silver
dollar in full liquidation of any debt
unless by stipulation in contract the
debt is made payable in gold.

Hon. Stephen Ii. Elkins, of West
Virginia, in recent talk with the Chi
cago Inter Ocean was very frank about
the tariff and the silver mine ownAs
Hear what he said: 1.-The RepublS n
candidate for the presidency was the
natural outcome of the operations OF
the Democratic tariff for revenue only.
The masses of the Republican party,
the business men and laboring men,
nominated Major Mckinley because he
represented their idea of champion
of protection to American industries
and workingmen. This great central
idea that dominated that nomination
must not be abandoned. The tariff is
one of the great issues of this campaign
and cannot be dropped. The money
question just now seems to lead in
interest, and there is no disposition on
the part Of any of the Republicans to
avoid this issue The question is. Are
we in favor of opening the minis of the
United States to the free coinage of
the value of that product? This question
will soon solve itself il the sensible
people of the country study it. If the
working men, business men and farm
ers of this country can only realize
that the free coinage of silver is in the
interest of about 10000 producers of
silver, and can be no benefit to any
body else. they will settle the matter
most emphatically next November.
Being silver producer myself know
what the free coinage of the white
metal means. | know that under the
recent silver purchasing act, the silver
producers of this country were paid by
the United States government about
sl7O, 900, 900 more than their product
was worth in the open markets of the
world. Free coinage will mean rep
etition of this subsidy. The United
States government will simply pay a
bonus Of about 100 per cent of the value
Of silver bullion to the mine owners OF
this country and other countries as
well"

Mr.. McKinley's speeches, whether
elaborate, congressional, or campaign
efforts, or brief addresses on incidental
occasions, are better worth studying
than are those OF almost any other man
in this country now before the public,
no matter in what department They
are rich in instructiveness, presenting
the wheat of knowledge from which
every bit of chat has been winnowed
But that is not all. Considered merely
as an intellectual exercise, apart from
the present practical value OF their
contents, McKinley's speeches are ex-
traordinary 1t is pretty safe to say
that in n not far distant future, when
the partisan strife and chickering's,
meannesses and malignings of the
present day are forgotten, the speeches
Of William Mckinley will be studied
for their wonderful literary and logical
value, in schools of higher learning Jas
Burke's and Webster's are now.
