to withdraw their savings and to con-

drop to the silver basis. Only a small
percentage could obtain their deposits

free coinage means the right of every
owner Of bullion TO present the same to
the mints Of the United States and have
it coined without charge into money.
Under the free coinage Of silver, the
owner Of 3l714 grains of pure silver
would be permitted TO turn it over TO
the United States mint and have il
coined without charge or receive there
for one silver dollar. More than this,
under free and unlimited coinage, this
right would be extended to the whole
world, and the amount of silver coinage
would be limited only by the capacity
OF our minis and the output Of the silver

Boys and Firearms.

An accident which shows the danger
Of not teaching boys how 10 use firearms
is reported in The American Field. Sew
enteen-year-old James Groat of Omaha,
with three comrades, was hunting ducks
on the river. Not finding the birds
plentiful, boy fashion, they thought
they would play about in the willow
blind. They laid their guns down and
began to skylark. All Of u sudden q
flock Of ducks was seen coming, and
there was rush to get the guns.
III young Groat had been brought up
right, he would not have left his gun
cooked and loaded, he would not have
grasped it by the muzzle and pulled it
toward himself, the trigger would not
have caught in twig, and the lad
would not have been killed The top Of
his head was blown to pieces by the
whole charge of shot entering just
above the nose.
When a boy wants gun and is in u
place about which game is to be found.
and there are hunters to hunt il, the
boy is going to have il by hook or crook.
So the best way to do when lad shows
the symptoms is to put him into the
hands of a good hunter and have him
taught what TO do and what not to do,
especially what not to do, and IL a good
gun, built by trustworthy manufac-
turer, is given to the would be hunter.
there is no danger whatever II this was
done in every instance with boys, there
would be no accidental killings. 1t is
the self confident, self taught man who
kills others and himself.

Though all the attempts in the con-

1t may be said that as treaty is q part

Farm Wages and Profits.

Ex-Governor Boies of Iowa says that
he cannot pay the present rate Of wages
and make his 3, 500 acre farm pay. He
says that no farmer who has 10 hire his
help can make money at farming under
the gold standard. x-Congressman
Bland says that wages Of all kinds will
rise under free coinage.
1t would naturally be inferred from
Boies' statement that he wants free
coinage to lower farm wages so that the
big farmers can make money out of the
labor Of Others. BANDS opinion evil
IDENTIFY is that free coinage would be a
good thing for the farm laborer and
therefore, so far as wages are concerned,
a bad thing for the boss farmers.
The two leading free coinage advo-
Gates should get together. 1t might also
be well for farmers and farmland"

Third. -That the price of silver will
be less than 80 cents per ounce when

$3.50, 900, 900 of full legal tender silver

money, and $40, 600, 900 of subsidiary
