FIVE CENT DOLLAR.
HOW IT MAY FOLLOW THE PRESENT
FREE SILVER COINAGE CRAZE.

After the Silver Mine Owners Had Re-
ceived Their Big Profits They Might BE
Taken From Them by tho Fiat Money
Some Cheap Money People Desire.
An appeal for extra contributions to
the Popocratic cause has been made to
the members of the Silver trust. They
are urged to dig down deep again into
their pockets and to keep on digging
down deep in order to elect to the presi-
dency Mr.. William Jennings Bryan.
The appeal is pointed with the reminder
that by the adoption of free silver the
silver kings will be assured clear profit
Of Cd cents an ounce ON the 60, 900, 900
ounces of silver mined annually.
These mine owners have reason to ex-
pect undoubtedly that the enactment of
free coinage law will be followed by
rise in the price of silver. such as &C.
Cured when the Sherman law was en-
acted in 1890. The passage of free
coinage law would be sure to cause
some advance in the white metal at the
beginning. When the price, therefore,
went up. these big owners of silver
could dispose at a big profit of all the
bullion they might have on hand at the
time and all that could be mined within
reasonable time thereafter.
But they must know also that after
the first splurge the price of silver would
sink back again to about the present
price and the big profits cease. But
while the boom was on, while silver
enjoyed its temporary imitation. the
money would roll into the Golfers of the
silver kings, and the immense sums
realized would be invested and loaned
out and otherwise disposed of SO as to
bring in an annual return in interest.
In working for this FOOLS paradise.
however, a day of reckoning for even
the silver kings would follow in the
wake of free coinage. All these fellows
who are shouting for cheap money and
debt reputation do not expect to stop
at 80 cent dollars. Free coinage of so
cent dollars would be only the first step.
The inevitable second step would be to
institute fiat money, scrip currency,
10 or 8 or no cent dollar. And after
the silver kings and satellites had raked
in their gains and loaned them out
through the medium of the so cent dol
lar law, this complementary cent dol
lar law would come along, the nation
would fall again from so cent dollar
basis to a cent dollar basis, and the
silver kings with the rest would be
forced to accept these or even no cent
dollars in payment for the so cent dol
lars they had invested.
The law for which they are fighting
rapaciously now to substitute so cents
for dollar in their interests would then
be changed so that even the pretense of
an intrinsic money standard would be
abandoned, and their interests with the
rest would suffer accordingly. They
would get liberal dose of their own
medicine and perhaps then would be
able to realize what they are blind to
now-that honesty is the best policy.
This is case where it would be far
better not to have loved free silver and
lost than never to have loved at all. -
Chicago Tribune.

The Greenbackers wanted a fiat"
money pure and simple and supported
their proposition with arguments full
as strong as the fellows who would
make the money half fiat" and the other
half intrinsic value. Silver imitation
would be fully as disasterousl as green
back imitation and is more dangerous
because of the fifty cent actual value in
a silver dollar. Some people who want to
believe that something can be made out
of nothing are apparently willing to be
convinced that hundred cents can be
made out of fifty cents. If any power
can make 100 cents out of fifty cents,
that same power can make 100 cents out
of nothing. One proposition is as rea-
sonable as the other.-Shelby Co. Repub-

A Point For Regulators.

There is whole volume of ethics
bound up in the simple Latin phrase
which we translate by the word "debt. I"
The phrase is 9s alienum, meaning an
others money. People who imagine
there is a hardship in the demand for
the full payment of debt seem in need
of reminder that what they have is
another's money and not their own, no
matter how long they have had it.

THE COUNTY TICKET.

Never, have the people OF Audubon
county been offered better set OF can.
didates for their local offices, than is
offered by the republican party this
year. The ticket is representative in
every way, and is made up of intelligent,
capable men, men, not only OF ability
but of responsibility, men, who as county
officers will perform their several duties
and perform them wall.
H. ID. Woodward, our candidate for
clerk, is a man entitled to win on
merit alone. For four years he served
as deputy in this important Office and
that fact alone is sufficient proof Of his
capability. Always prompt and oblig-
ing while public servant, he has shown
the same qualities in his private bust
ness affairs. He is richly deserving. and
a vote cast for him is vote in recogni.
ton of honesty and true worth.
ID. w. Powers, our candidate for
auditor, is man most thoroughly
equipped for the many duties of that
Office. A man OF middle age, of wide
business experience, by nature and train
ing, careful and painstaking in all things,
he is most thoroughly qualified to meet
every demand as a public official. No
mistake will be made in electing Mr.
Powers to the auditors Office.
Martin n. Esbeck, whom the republi-
cans Of Audubon county offer as their
choice for the Office of recorder, is man
known to almost every citizen of the
county, and known favorably and well.
His business life among our people as
an employee of others and as a man con-
Quoting a business for himself is but
an example of what hard work and
honesty in business will do for man.
He is an active, accurate business man,
and as such possesses every qualitica-
ton to fill with credit the office of county
recorder.
Frank E. Brainard is the republican
nominee for the office of county attor
ney. Almost his entire life Frank
Brainard has been n resident of Audi
bon county and the people know him
both as boy and man to be both worthy
and deserving. AS to his qualifications
for the Office, his work as member of
the bar of Audubon county has made
for him reputation for efficiency and
ability, that fully recommends him to
the voters. He will be good man in
the county attorneys office and vote
for him will never be regretted.
For the office of member of the board
of supervisors, S. T.. Garmire is the
nominee. During his present term as
supervisor he has proven himself man
OF clear business ability and OF eminent
fairness on all occasions. His natural
fitness for this Office has only been en-
HANGED by his experience When you
cast ballot for Sam Garmire you know
who you are voting for. Give him big
vote. He deserves it.

the story except the locating and cap
turing of the brigands. In discussing
| the points of the story, he said:
1T is true that Winthrop was seen
! in the city Wednesday evening, and
perhaps later. He was at a hall down
town, talking politics with some friends
and left in the company of a young
man. But this was before o'clock,
and Winthrop and the young man left
before the meeting was called to order.
so the young man who was with him
could not have been Pete
cat this time Winthrop wore a new
suit of clothes, and his friends noticed
that he had shaved off his mustache.
He may have done this with the inten-
ton of staying in town and fooling
Campbell, who would be looking for a
man of different appearance
This case is a hard one for the de-
tectiVes to work on, but Detective Cur
tin is a very level headed man. A mis-
take would have cost Campbell's life.
The detectives learned quickly that
Winthrop had left the hotel with Camp
bell on Monday afternoon, and men
were put out in all directions.
You can realize what a job it was,
as there was no evidence then to hold
Winthrop in case he was arrested.
Had we put him in Jail he would have
laughed at us. From what l can learn
of him, he is a very determined man,
and would have defeated our plans.
On his release he could have caused the
murder of Campbell, and there would
have been no trouble to have buried the
body in any of the numerous sand hills
in the Richmond district
Trailing Winthrop was as danger
Gus course. l defy any man to track
me to the California street house with
out my seeing him. In a crowded city
it might be done, but out in Richmond
it is impossible to fool any man who
keeps watch for people following him.
As soon as he got anywhere near the
house he would have discovered his
pursuer and would have led him away
instantly. Then CampbeIls death could
be accomplished and probably all evil
dence of the crime destroyed.
Don't make any mistake about the
popularity of the job. Our first object
was to secure the release of Campbell
II alive. 1t would be little satisfaction
for us to know that we could catch the
murderers after Campbell had been kill
ed. If the detectives had made a mis-
take and put Winthrop on his guard,
and Campbell had been killed, the de-
tectives would almost feel that they
had caused the murder"

A woman Takes Her Life.

Mrs. Caroline James. widow of Isaac
James, who lived at Eldridge Hill, cut
her throat early on Wednesday morning,
from which she died about 4 O'Clock In
the afternoon. For soma time the de-
ceased had not been we'll, and has been
attended by DR.. Gilman. but nothing of
a serious nature was the matter. OF late
she had seem troubled, and some time
ago spoke to the doctor about banging her
self, but he sought to dissuade her from
such a rash act. 1t appears that she
wanted to break up housekeeping and go
live with her children in Camden, but
they thought she had better remain in her
own home, as she had sufficient means to
meet her needs. In consequence a niece
had been living with her for some time,
and they had arranged that she should go
and live with This niece in Camden, and
last week sent for Martin Carney to come
and see her about moving her goods to
that city.
Mrs. James was very restless Tuesday
night, but hen the niece arose on We'd
nesday morning she noticed that her aunt
was sleeping soundly, and she passed on
down stairs to attend to some household
duties. She had not been down stairs
long when she heard a groan come from
her aunt's room. She at once started to
learn the trouble, and upon reaching the
the second floor was Mortified to find her
aunt standing in the middle of the room
covered with blood. The niece hurriedly
called the n~eighbors, and DR.. Gilman was
sent for. The messenger found him just
about to start in answer to another call,
and they returned at once. Upon exami
nation he found that she had not severed
the jugular vein or the windpipe, but
had lost considerable blood and the pulse
was feeble. The wound was dressed and
the unfortunate woman made as comfort
able as possible, bnt the shock and loss
of blood was too great for her age, about
rs years, and death resulted in the after
noon. The funeral takes place Saturday
morning.
