In one of his speeches in congress Mr.
Bryan said that "a tariff of ten per cent.
levied purposely for protection is, as far
as the principle is concerned, just as in
defensible as a tariff of thousand per
cent" Bryan will not deny that he is
an absolute free trader, but ne prefers to
say nothing about that in this campaign.

Captain J. A. Palmer of Carlin died
Tuesday evening at his residence. He
was in robust health two weeks ago but
contracted a severe cold which develop
ed into pneumonia which resulted
fatally. He was an old resident, having
resided in Elko county about 28 years.

years and was member OF the Masonic
Fraternity. He was well known
throughout the State and was a man of
positive opinions and strong conviction +.
He was prominent in Republican circles
years ago, but joined the independent
Silver movement in 1899 and was n
member of the Silver County Conven-
tion which met in Elko two weeks ago
and declined the nomination of District
Attorney. Cap. Palmer, as he was FAM
iliarly called, had many friends who will
regret to hear OF his sudden and unex-
pected DEATH He was al out 70 years of

Treasury officials are daily i'll receipt
OF a large number of requests for silver
dollars of this We ar 8 coinage in exchange
for silver certificates. Many Of these re-
quests come from persons who seem to
douht the truth oi the monthly coinage
statement, while others ask for ship
ments of 1896 dollars with view to re-
futing statements that no silver dollars
have now leen complied with AS fast as
received, as the officials desire to call at
tention 10 thr fact that, " hen silver dol
lars are ordered in sums of or m;ltiPles
of $500. they are shipped at the expense
OF the government, hat when smaller
sums are, ordered the shipments are
made at the expense OF the person or
dering. There is now in the treasury
SIC, ,506. 1863 in free silver; that is, silver
which may be obtained in exchange for
any lawful money; but the demand just
now is SO keen for 1895 dollars that 1t
seems probable that, by the beginning
OF October, the department will be COM
PEELED to decline to pay out silver dol
lars, except in exchange for silver GER
tticates or treasury notes OF 1890. The
law requires certain amounts of silver
to be held in the treasury to cover out
standing silver certificates and treas
ury notes, and when the minimum is
reached, silver payments will be re-
fused, even in exchange for gold or in
payment of warrants on the treasury.
The number OF standard silver dollars
coined during last August Ia shown by
the official statement 10 have been 2,650,
600; since FEBRUARY /, last, ll,2l2, Ill

The coinage value OF the stock of bull
lion now on hand, and on which the
mJns are now at work, is $167, IA, 200,

fRoRGUCEEECS N all THINGS BRINGS
SUCCESS.

Every person WHO has occasion to em-
ploy another, knows how often the work
Is badly done. The carpenters wood
warps, and the lines are not true. The
plumbers pipe leaks at the joints. The
tailor makes Il misfit. The warranted
| shoes rip AT the seams. The vines are
carelessly lruned. The food is mprop-
erly cooked. Throughout the realm of
industry, whatever the duty may be, it
is not only badly done, but there is no
ambition to do better. A large proper
tion OF the worlds work is botchcd..
Botches are unfortunately not confined
to any occupation. They are to be found
in shop, office and school l-room, in the
law, on the bench and even in higher
| positions. Wherever they are they can
i be recognized. They have no conco ption
OF accuracy. They are Indifferent to
minor duties. They are content with
their own bad work. They are not
| systematic. Their labor is not honest :;
some one has to do it over again. They
are always making mistakes that little
| care might have avoided.
One cause OF so much poor aiid clumsy
work is the want Of conscience in little
things. small leak will sink ship.
The finest battle-ship in the English

distinguished writer, THAT steady at
tention to matters of detail lies at the
root of human progress, and that dill
gence is the mother OF good luck"
The difference between good and bad
work consists chiefly in attending to
tribes. The boy or man or woman who
considers them unimportant. will surely
fail. Thoroughness is quality sadly
lacking in the American youth. Natur-
ally restless and ambitious, they want to

These conditions will be forwarded to
