Mr.. Cunningham, president and man
ager of the company, says he and near
ly all his employees have been life
long republicans, but they are all for
Bryan and free silver now. Mr.. Gun
nirgham said the above notice had been
posted because the company fully be-
lieved that under free coinage increased
business would justify increased wages.
President Cunningham, who is
practical mo. der, then went on to show
how moldey : wages prior to 1873 were
so per CENT. higher than they were to-
day; how, after silver was demonetized,
there was gradual decline until the
passage of the Bland-Allison act in
1878, which revived the west, increased
demand for holders products and re-
suited in increased wages.
Business depression six years later
caused another decline. In his opinion
nothing will restore permanent pros
perity but the restoration of silver. In
concluding Mr.. Cunningham remarked:
do you know of any factories offer
ing increased wages if Mckinley is
elected? don't"
secretary CarlisIe's Childish Answer to
n simple Question.
Secretary Carlisle is out in another
letter. This time 1t is in answer to
a question he says was asked him:
''Why does u silver dollar remain on a
par with gold dollar when it is not
exchangeable into gold dollar2"
The secretary makes lengthy reply
which may be summed up in the words,
beating about the BUSH" The only
direct answer he gives is: The public
has been satisfied that, so long as our
present monetary system is preserved,
the government will do whatever Its
moral obligations and express declara-
tions require it to do, and very largely
in consequence of this confidence in the
good faith of the executive authorities,
the silver coins have not deprecated in
value"
That Is childish answer, and be-
trays either grave ignorance, incapacity
or downright intent to deceive. To
say that it is largely due to the public
confidence in the executive officers

AS it turns out, only four of these
mines are silver producers. Thes, are
the DAILY. Ontario, Phoenix and Jocu-
istita, aggregating a valuation of ST..
753,946.9O. The other mines are gold
and copper producers. One of these
alone, the Anaconda mine, is valued at
$500 600, instead of $3,O0O,OO as esti-
mated by the Call.
1t will be observed from these figures,
which are furnished by Mr.. Hearst him
self, that only a small percentage of his
mining property is invested in silver.
Most of his interests are invested in
gold and copper. Naturally. therefore,
If he consulted his own selfish interests
in the matter, he would espouse the
single gold standard and reap the bene-
fit of whatever enhancement in value
that policy might give to the yellow
metal.
Instead of doing this, however. he
has chosen rather to ignore his own
interest and TO espouse that policy
which is calculated to promote the well

Vaiue of Silver.

There is no such thing as Commercial
value" to either gold or silver, separate
and apart from its value as money. Even
with silver demonetized in Europe and
the United States, it is still the demand
for it for money by 9OO,0O0,oO of people
that chiefly determines its value, and
there never was a time since metals
came into use as money when they pos
sessed value as commodities separable
from their value as money. This idea is
relic of the Intrinsic value" fallacy.-

A tonic which never fails TO interest

Is TO marry that erstwhile admher OF

II seems that the Archduchess. among

musician, and has studied the art very
deeply. The head Of a band Of Tzisans
musicians was complaining to the Arch
duke Joseph, father Of the Duo dOrieans
iancee. that business was slow for the
men OF his profession on account OF the
lack OF new compositions in the Tzigane
language. The Archduke. laughing, asked
his daughter to write piece for the poor
Tzlganes. The young Princess composed
a song, which the Archduke sent to the
bandmaster, who reserved all the rights
to her piece.
A few weeks later the bandmaster
wrote 10 the Archduke that the new piece,
entitled after the Rain. Sunshine had
proved a powerful success. and every one
wanted a copy OF II. Another piece COM
posed by the young musician, "A Royal
Hymn OF the Honveds.'. has likewise
become very popular. II Is true that the
Archduke Joseph Is colonel OF the Hon.
we'd Regiment. and that this may have
contributed TO the success OF the latter
piece among the officers and soldiers OF
the regiment, though only their intrinsic
merit would account for the popularity

dow their martyred Queen and mistress

not be forgotten, however. that red hair'
even modest auburn, suffered a severe
