The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1896-09-08

All dollars issued by the Unit
ed States contain one hundred
cents. The goldites call the sill
yer dollar a fifty-cent dollar be-
cause the silver bullion in sill
yer dollar is only worth in the
market now about half as much
as the gold in a gold dollar This
is not fair argument, because
the grcen5ack is not q fifty cent
dollar, and the paper of which it
is composed is worth less than
one cent, and it would be very
ridiculous to call the greenback
a one-cent dollar. Every silver
dollar in circulation will buy just
as much as a gold dollar, and
there are more than four hundred
millions Of silver dollars in cir
culation, including the actual
coin in circulation about sixty
millions and the silver certificates
in circulation amount to about
three hundred and fifty millions.
The silver certificates are by law
redeemable in silver dollars and
nothing else. II a person takes
a silver certificate to the Treas
ury Department he can get sill
yer dollar. Notwithstanding the
silver in circulation and the sill
yer certificates representing sill
yer coin in the Treasury circul-
ate on par with gold, the gold
ties persist in calling them fifty
cent dollars. Some goldites have
gone so far as to utter the bold
lie that the government credit is
behind the silver certificate ex-
cept the legal-tender function
which is bestowed upon the dol
lar by Congress. The law CON
mands everybody to receive sill
yer dollars in payment of debts
and taxes. That keeps them on
a par with gold without any
agreement, expressed or implied,
to redeem them in gold. But
the goldite suggests that if SLY
er was remonetized the silver
dollar would then be worth only
fifty cents, and in the same
breath he says that the bullion
in the hands of the silver miner
would be doubled in value. Now,
if the silver dollar is worth only
fifty cents, how could the silver
bullion be doubled in value. It
would be strange phenomena
to have the amount of bullion
required to make silver dollar
worth one hundred cents and the
dollar afterwards coined worth
only fifty cents. The argument
that the silver miner would be
benefited 90 per cent on the val
ne of his bullion would go up to
par with gold, and that being
the case, where would the fifty
cent dollar come from ?-Silrer
Knight.

begun to inspire popular confidence that
the present industrial depression VIII
soon cease. How different was the teel-
ing which attended the advent OF the
Democracy to power. We are accustomed
to regard ours as an indissoluble union,
impregnable TO assault from without and
no longer capable of serious internal dis
cord. But the experience OF the present
session OF Congress has emphasized the inn
portance of q strong national party. with
the growth OF the union and the develop
ment of diversified local interests, the diff
ficulties OF our government will increase.
In the new states of the West as In some
OF the old states OF the South, local feel
ing is often stronger than national
There the demagogue, in the shape OF a
popular orator, panders to the deluslon
and plays on the weaknesses OF the peo-
pie. II requires little to excite them to
a condition in which the Idea OF this
union seems less repugnant than their
fancied grievances. In country COM
posed like ours, the policy Of the Republi-
can party-call that party by whatever
name you please-will always be essential
to the preservation OF the Union. 1t is
pre-emnentIy a national policy. Hamil-
toms conception of nationality and
national greatness has been steadily be-
coming the accepted Republican doctrine.
"Our party Is committed to currency
that will demand the worlds confidence,
without which domestic production and
progressive foreign commerce are impos-
slbIe. AT a time when the predominant
problems presented for solution pertain
to trade and finance, no man Is better
equipped for the position Of the chief ex-
ecutive OF the nation than that successful
business man and statesman, Levi p.
Morton. He is a man who has, convic-
tions and ideals together with courage
and independence to bring them to real
ization. His character is formed for
noble end. True. he is ambitious, but
his aim is reached by advancing the well
fare and dignity of his country. He is a
statesman whose training has not been
merely in the college or in the caucus,
but in actual service. With dignity
that commands universal respect, he COM
bines a warmth of soul and manner which
draw TO him everyone, however humble.
He illustrates in his character and in his
career the typical virtues of the highest
American citizenship. i confidently be-
choice OF our party, and of the nation,
ane that, as President OF the United
States, a special session Of a Republican
Congress will be called for the relief of a
suffering people on the fourth of next
March by President Levi u. Morton.
Then we will behold noble and mighty
nation rouse herself like a strong man re-
covering from a lingering and alarming
disease and enter upon an honorable and
prosperous period. closing the century in
q blaze of glory"
His allusion to the party selecting a
New York man for its standard bearer
was received with hearty, though not vo-
ciferous, applause, but when ne mention
ed the name of Levi p. Morton there were
cheers and applause that compelled the
speaker to hesitate for some time.

Prompt Work of Patr0lman COlwell
Saved Him From Death.

John Harmell, a Frenchman from Paw
tucket, is prisoner at the Central sta
tion, and the police do not know whether
to charge him with drunkenness, insan-
ity, incendiarism or all combined. AT 4:25
this morning Patrolmgn Z. III. Colwell
saw man go into the old Granger foun-
dry building on Francis street, and a
few moments later he noticed a light
fiickering in the second story of the old
structure. lie at once sent in an alarm
from box "a and then rushed into the
building. Up stairs, and about 10 ket
from the landing, he found a man asleep,
with his head on his coat, which he used
the sleeper's back wass~d roaring fire
which he had built from old cotton
waste, heavy pieces OF plank, and other
fragments of wool that he found in the
deserted building. The officer picked
the man up bodily and took him TO the
head of the stairway and from there es-
corted him to the patrol box. The pris-
oner was taken to the Central police sta
tjon in the hurry up-wagon and there he
said his name was Harmell and that his
home was at PawtuolSet. When asked why
he built fire on the oil-soaked floor ne
answered that he was cold ard wet and
wanted to get warm and dry. He ad-
mitted that he had been drinking. When
the fire department arrived at
the foundry there was good
blaze, for on the floor was a fire, the bot
tom of which covered space of 4x5 feet
and the flames were shooting well up to
ward the flooring of the story above, a
distance of IL or more feet. Had Ii not
been for the prompt work of Patrolman
Colwoil, 1t is probable that Harmell
would have lost his life, for the fire had
nearly burned through the floor, while
near by was an old and heavy lathe which
would have fallen on the sleeper il the
floor burned away.
The case is still more complicated, as
the building has teen condemned and the
police do not know whether The State
owns ii or the Granger Foundry Com
pany. The case is being looked into and
Harmell will be arraigned on some charge
in the Sixth District Court tomorrow
morning. He is about 40 wears old, and
is a mill operative. His hat and coat,
which the officer left behind this morning
were returned to the prison later in the
day.

HE GOT THE CLOTH.
Then Patrolman Butts Got Man and Cloth
As Well.

hS w Slls
Among those who were at the ruins Of

was an italian with such an unspeakable
name that the police used the old and
familiar name "John Does John, as the
police designate him, espicd a roll of
cloth that had been damaged slightly on
one end and this he thought he would APP
propriate to his own use. and probably
would have succeeded had il not been for
the eagle eye of Patrolman Butts, who
saw John almost as soon as John saw the
cloth. The man was taken to the Central
station and locked up on the charge of
stealing a roll OF cloth, but from whom
the police do not know, rs there is some
question as to whether the cloth is the
property of the Bosworth Brothers, some
insurance company, or the Masons. How
ever, the police Will not let John go until
they find au owner for the cloth.
