Facts About Railroads.

There are 177755 miles of Rail-
road in the United States.
There are 66.S35,SS0 rails used
to cover this ground.
There are 533, 265,OOO ties used
to bind these rails together, but no
such amount, however, is required
to bind the hearts of the travelling
public to the fact that the Wiscon-

Through the Rockies via the
Great Salt Lake Route

The traveller, tourist or business
man of the west is wise when he
selects the Rio Grande Western
Railway, "Great Salt Lake Route"
for his route across the Rockies.
1t is the only transcontinental line
passing directly through Salt Lake
City, and in addition to the glimpse
it affords of the Temple City, the
Great Salt Lake and the picturesque
Jordan valley, it affords choice Of
three distinct routes through the
mountains and the most magnif-
cent scenery in the world. Its road
bed and equipment cannot be ex-
celled by any line west of Chicago;
and while the RIO GRANDE WEST
ERN RAILWAY has been made
far-ous by the beauty and variety
of the scenery on its line, it is
equally noted for comfort and ele-
gance of its trains. Through Pull
man palace sleeping cars between
Ogden, Salt Lake City and Denver;
through Pullman tourist or family
sleeping cars to Kansas City, Chi
cago and Boston without change;
and free reclining chair cars. For
rates, printed matter. etc, write to
F. A. Wadleigh, Gen. Pass. Agent,

a national circulation. 1t is a re-
publican paper, but men of all poll
tics take it, because of its honesty
and fairness in the discussion of all
public questions 1t is the favorite
family paper, with something for
every member of the household.

rascality was about to be exposed, and
a question of restitution raised? Is
1t not also a fact that the members
comprising each and every one of the
numerous trusts, which are fast driv-
ing competition from the field and rails
ing the price of every article they
handle, are, without exception, active
supporters of the same gold party?
Does 1t not seem strange that the
various members of these trusts, which
have robbed the public, individually
and collectively, on every conceivable
occasion, should now have the interest
of a long-suffering public at heart?
1t looks to me that, having always
robbed the workingman in the past,
they wish to continue to do so in the
future.
Maybe I am wrong. l sincerely hope
so. 1t is with that hope in my mind

The following letter was recently ad-
dressed to the Chicago Tribune. That
paper boasts that it answers all let
tiers received. 1t evidently made an
exception of this one for the very good
reason that its publication would have
opened the eyes of a large number of
the Tribune's readers. We publish it

transaction was only made necessary
because we are on a gold basis, and in
sist on paying our obligations in gold,
is also at the head of the anthracite
coal trust; which trust has recently
raised the price of that article for no
known reason whatever except its own
voraciousness?' Is it not also a fact
that Senator j. NJ. Thurston, one of the
leading supporters of the gold party,
is the paid attorney of the Union Pa
cfic railroad, a corporation which has
robbed the United States government
of millions of dollars?

Sherman's plea for labor in the sem
ate of the United States in 1876: We
are producing in this country this year,
as estimated by DR.. Linderman, some
SAC, 000, 900 in silver bullion. He esti-
mates the total production at $780,
10000, of which S40,000,000 will be
silver. Why not utilize this silver as
legal tender? admit that if it is made
legal tender, equal to gold, it being
metal not so valuable, it would drive
the gold from the country, and the sill
yer alone would remain. BY limiting it
to thousand dollars in one payment,
ninaty-nine transactions out of every
one hundred will be transacted with it.
And all business between individualo
not bankers, between the mechanic and
employer between farmers and their
merchants, and all wages, and indeed
thousands of transactions which under
lie society broad and deep, would be
in this coin. The large transactions
between the bankers and those between
this and foreign nations would con-
tinue TO be in gold, but the silver
would remain here as the coin of the
people, and the laboring man as well
as the small dealer, and indeed of all
those persons who do not deal in mil
lions at a clip.
] therefore, Mr.. President, look upon
this as one of the great steps toward
resumption. 1t is by utilizing the sill
yer which we produce in large amounts
in this country and making it a legal
tender as it was heretofore. 1t re-
mains a legal tender in France, and it
is there successful as the coin of the
people. 1t is also a legal tender in
many other parts of Europe. France
is one of the great commercial nations,
and they have retained the double
standard: and from my reading 1 be-
lieve if Germany could go back to the
double standard it would do it most
cheerfully. They believed that the
large amount of French coin which had
been brought there in day would re-
main, and so believing they demone-
tized all the millions of silver that had
been coined all the little principalities
and duchies of Germany for ages be-
fore and substituted gold exclusively,
recoining the French coin so as to
make it the coin of the empire. But
this imperial coin must go back to its
imperial home; and, as 1 said while
ago. it has left that country in con-
dition of paralysis and prostration, not
surpassed by it's sad condition during
the Napoleonic wars. 1t should be re-
ceiyed as fundamental fact so as to

,sHERmAN's TWO SPEECHES.

John Sherman's plea for labor at
Columbus in 1896: But by far the
greatest injury resulting from the
free coinage of silver will fall upon
workingmen. Their wages are now
based upon money Of the highest value,
upon gold coin of standard value. I'm
der free coinage of silver the value of
the silver dollar will fall to SO cents
in gold, or, as have already said, the
hundred cents of the gold dollar will
be worth 100 cents of the silver dollar.
With free coinage Of silver every work
ingman can and ought to demand
enough silver for his daily wages to
be equal to the purchasing power of
his present wages in gold. The strug-
gle between workingman and employer
will then commence and no one knows
better than the workingman how diff
cult it is to get an advance of pay
We have strikes and strife enough
now, when the workingman gets his
pay in gold coin or its equivalent, but
what will be the condition when he is
paid in cheaper money of the same
nominal amount, but of less purchasing
power? Every sentiment of justice
will be on the side of the workingman
in his struggle for good money or in
creased wages in cheap money. OF all
the evils which a government can in
flict none can be greater than cheap
money, whether of coin or paper.
The question will never be settled
until you determine the simple ques-
ton whether the laboring man is en-
titled to have gold dollar if he earns
1t, or whether you are going to cheat
him with something else. Gold has
made the world respect it all the time.
The English people once thought they
could get along without gold for a
while, but they had to come back to it.
With the free coinage of silver gold
will be demonetlzed. Nothing can be
more certain than that the cheaper
money only will circulate. The United
States has thus far maintained its sill
yer coins at parity with gold coins
only by its exclusive monopoly of coin
age and by limiting the amount, but
with free coinage of silver there could
be no limitation. Silver bullion in
every form Will be pressed upon the
minis and with the mandatory duty
of free coinage, silver dollars will snon
fill the chaLnels of circulation and the
gold dollar will be boarded or will be
quoted and sold as commodity at
about 100 cents Of the silver coin. Sill
yer will stand as the par of value and
gold will be quoted at its commercial
value. See John Sherman's speech
at Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 10, 1896.

The Minnesota fire wardens report
closes with a statement of the utility of
the forests and argument for their pre-
servation. The Minnesota forests are
a great natural reservoir Of moisture
feeding hundreds of streams, which
fertilize the soil and turn the machin-
cry of manufacturers. They afford an
important industry and home market
for agricultural supplies, The pine for
ests should also be valuable as health
resorts, for it has been conclusively
shown by scientific observations that
forest air is much richer in ozone than
the air of open countries. The cele-
brated Swedish iron is produced by
charcoal instead of mineral coal, and ii
would seem that the conversion of Min
nesota ore into iron by charcoal should
be encouraged by the state, rather than
have it all shipped away in crude con-
dition. This, while creating new in
dustry, would furnish new incentive
for perpetuating the forests No abate-
ment of the seemingly ruthless con-
sumption of pine can at pres
ent be expected, for great
companies have their capital
all embarked in the business and have
built railroads specially for numbering.
They cannot now stop without financial
failure, and If we are to have perma-
nent forests it must be the state or the
United States that will conserve them
