Free coinage would not start

additional days labor It would
create no new occupations. 1t
would add nothing to the comfort
Of the masses, the capital Of the
people or the wealth of the nation.
1t seeks to introduce new meas
ure of value, but would add no
value to the thing measured. 1t
would not conserve values. On
the contrary, it would derange all
existing values. It would not re-
store business confidence, but it's
direct effect would be to destroy

First. If men are idle they earn
no wages. Second. If mon earn
no wages they spend no money.
Third. With no spending money
the stores are idle. Fourth. Idle
stores cannot buy from merchants
Fifth. Merchants cannot buy

Seventh. The mines cannot en-
ploy labor. Eight. The farmers

Railroads have less raw material
to hawl. Tenth. Railroad hands

Demand decreases at every turn of

goods become dear at any price.
The above are the twelve spokes
in the wheel Of prosperity. Study
it at each turn, beginning always

Recently compiled statistics indi-
cate that the worlds production Of
wheat for 1896 amounts to $685.
100000 bushels, which is the
largest product Of any year on re-
cord with the one exception Of 1894.
1t is 45 per cent, in excess of the
worlds wheat product for 1898.
This fact should partially explain
tie falling Of wheat prices.
It has been repeatedly stated,
and is almost universally believed,
that wheat prices in the United
States have steadily fallen since
1878; but such is far from the act
ual truth. It has been shown by
high statistical authority that the
export price of wheat in gold has
been greater since 1873 than it
was in that year, and did not fall
below the price of 1873 until 1893
As. The great surplus of 1894,
the repeal of the reciprocity pro-
visions of the McKinlev law and |
the rise of the Argentine Republic
as a great wheat producer are the
causes that have combined to
make recent low prices. The
United States, Russia, India and
are now the four great
competitors in wheat, and prices
will continue low until some Of
these reduce their wheat product,
or new markets are opened, and
he demand increased.

At the head of our editorial col
umn today will be found the Re.
publican County Ticket, nominated
at the convention last week, and
we take pleasure in placing it there
It is ticket which we have no
hesitancy in endorsing from top to
bottom, and which no voter need
be afraid to support. The gentle
men thereon are all well-known in
the county, and are all acknowledge
ed to be fully capable to fill the
several Offices to which they aspire,
and in their hands the affairs Of
the county will be perfectly safe
during the next two years. It is
not a fusion ticket, but one which
stands solidly upon a platform
favoring sound money and protec-
ton, and pledged to stand by the
Republican National, State, Con-
gressional and Legislative tickets.
The different nominees are all
staunch Republicans, men who
have stood bravely by the banner
of "Protection'' (which today
means mora to the American peO-
pie then any other issue now be-
fore them-through prosperity
and adversely. 1t is an excellent
ticket, and as the people of our
county know good men when their
names are placed before them, we
predict that it will be elected with
out break by good rousing ma
ority. !

-Four years ago." says Senator
Thurston, II heard William ].
Bryan say to great audience in
my state: Give US free trade and
the American workingman's wages
will 60 up but they went down.
He said, give us free trade and
business will BOOM but it busted.
Now Bryan comes forward with a
new promise. Give us free silv-
er,' he says, and the country will
be prosperous. In view of the
utter failure of his promise of four
years ago Senator Thurston thinks
it would be proper to ask Mr..
Bryan for little collateral securi-
ty for the fulfillment of his new
promise"

The Bear Committed suicide.
From the 81. Louis Republic.

FROM the st. Louis Republic.
Mining men, like fishermen and hunters.
generally have a fund of stories, and are
very willing to tell them, but it occasion
ally happens that they have one which
they do not want to tell This is the case
with st. Louis mining man-that is. a
mining stock broker, as he is very much
in evidence as a tenderfoot when he gets
into the mining country. He was recent
ly in the widest parts of the Wood river
country for a season.
One morning, shortly after his arrival
in camp, he borrowed rifle and announe-
ed his intention of going out for a hunt.
He was warned not to go far from camp
and to keep a sharp lookout as signs of
grizzlies had been seen. He laughingly
replied that he would like nothing better
than to meet a grizzly and take his skin
nome. He got further away from camp
then he had intended. and was beginning
to feel lost, when he suddenly heard
something crashing through the UNDER
growth in the timber.
He waited just long enough to see its
nose. He didn't know just what 1t was
but he dropped his rifle and proceeded to
climb tree. He hadn't practised climb
ing. since he was boy, but he made
such remarkably good time that the ami
NAL, which came with a rush. could not
reach his feet, with its paws. 1t was a
grizzly. He could see that, and at once
made UP his mind that he was in for a
siege of it, He reached a branch and set
tied himself as comfortably as possible
and then began to wonder whether griz-
lilies We're much on the climb.
The bear, on his part, prowled around
the tree, occasionally looking up at the
meal he had missed. Finally he began
noising around the rifle, pushing the muz-
zle of it with his snout, as if trying to
upend it. By some lucky chance the trig-
ger caught against a twig or a root. and
the gun was discharged, the bullet pass
ing up through the bears head. The
beast tumbled over and soon ceased to
move. But even then the st. Louis man
was afraid to move. He remained until
a searching party from the camp came
in sight. They pronounced the bear dead
and he descended.

CANADIAN PACIFIC STRIKE.

OF train dispatchers on the Canadian Pa
cific RI lroad which was ordered by the
order Of the Railway Telegraphers at
midnight last night caused some surprise
here, the only intimatiou received by Of

the same night that the strike might take

the passenger trains were kept moving

on learning last evening that strike
was contemplated. the following circular
was issued by General Superintendent

facts. rs above stated:
