The seymour Lectures.

So much has been written since the Co
lumbar year OF 1893 on the discovery OF
America that fresh interest has been
aroused in all that had to do with the
early history of the two American con-
tinents No chapter OF that history is
more replete with romance and dramatic
features than that which describes the
thrilling experiences of a handful of Span
ish adventurers overcoming 100000 of
people and robbing them of enormous
treasure. All modern filibustering expe-
ditions are tame affairs in comparison with
the exploits of Francisco Pizarro and kis
fellow bandits. This is the story Mr.. Sey
mour will tell in the first lecture Of his
course tomorrow evening at the Seattle
theater II is an easy way 10 study his
tory to have II agreeably related from the
store OF another's work and researches.
Most people now have but little time or
inclination to dig UP facts out of the
enormous accumulation of writings on any
subject
Those who take any interest IN history
or the great men or events of the past
should take pains 10 attend the lectures
OF this course. which can be done AT about
the cost in the East Of a single admis-
sion.

Three Tacoma Fishermen Lost.

Tacoma, Feb. .-Special.-Henry Scook.
Michan Jorgin and Charles Samson, the
three cod fishermen who were overIaken
by a storm last Thursday. OF Point De-
fiance have not yet been heard from. he
weather has been very pleasant. and the
waters of the bay unusually calm since
the men disappeared. and the fact that
they have not returned has caused their
friends 10 have grave fears lest they were
lost in the gale. A number of parties OF
friends have been searching the shores on
the Sound In the vicinity of Tacoma for
the missing men, but not the slightest
trace can be found of their whereabouts.
David Squally, an Indian, reports having
seen the men off Point Defiance Thurs
day afternoon, in their boat. while the
storm was at its height. This was the
last seen of the men. The men were en-
ployed by the Northern Pacific Fish Com
pany to fish for Goldfish. Their homes
were on the beach near Old Town. Scook
was a married man.

on the Great Northern.

The snowslide on the Great Northern.
which took place three days ago, has not
yet been removed, and is reported as the
worst the road has had for years. Trains
from Seattle have been going only as far
as Skykomish. and the train went out as
usual TO that point last night. The wires
along the road are down, so that the off,
GERS in this city themselves are not in pos
session OF full information concerning the
slide. Spokane papers yesterday an
nounced that the Great Northern would
take passengers only as far as Leaven-
worth.
Monte Cristo has been showed complete
IL under. and yesterday there was no tele-
graph communication between Hartford
junction and Monte Cristo. One peculiar
ity about the snowfall yesterday along the
Seattle. Lake Shore & Eastern was that at
Wooiley there was scarcely any snow, at
Snohomish there was hardly a trace, and
yet at Hartford junction. between the two
places just mentioned, the snow measured
fourteen inches at noon. and IL was still
falling. There We're no trains yesterday
from Everett TO Monte cristo. though
there was some talk during the day OF
running Great Northern engine out as
far as possible from Everett.

The wind was so strong that she was
blown past her landing at Coiman dock

blocks below. The steamer Multnomah
left Tacoma, but turned back after a short

had rough time of il. The Flyer was
not stopped by the storm, but was an

time heavily on each successive run. AT

Question. Why should Democrats Legis-

the American Farmer?


I remember one instance that bears
particularly upon this question that came
to me today ms | sat here, and that was
this: My father came from the New
England states upon this prairie in 1887.
He told me this instance once: That
after sowing crop of wheat by hand,
cutting it with the cradle, binding it with
the rake, and threshing it with the ball
upon the floor, he put ii upon wagon
and drove il to this city of Milwaukee.
ninety-six miles away, and sold it here
for As cents bushel. This was in the
'5Os. and silver then was $1.30 an ounce.
Now tell the silver men TO explain to you
how il was that in the early sos wheat
was 46 cents bushel, and silver S1.30
an ounce. if the price of silver always
carries with it the price of wheat. And
when he hens and haws. say TO him:
at is not only confined to wheat, but
that other commodity you yoke up with
silver. cotton: and tell him that for the
four years ending in 1916 cotton in the
city Of New York averaged only cents
n pound: and that for the four years
ending in 1894 the same class averaged
3 cents a pound. Tell him to explain
that TO you. That was when we had
free coinage and silver was then S1.30
an ounce. He cannot explain it. That
one illustration, my friends. utterly de-
stroys the whole silver heresy.-Con-
