"How's poor man going to get gold dollars2" shouts a silver enthusiast. How is poor man going to get silver dollars? Will the silver miners, after having from s6O, 900. 900 to slOO, 900. 900 year coined, give the dollars to the poor? Not much. The poor man will not be able to get silver dollars except by working for them the same as he works for gold dollars. And after he gets the silver dollars he will find that they are worth but half as much, while he has worked just as hard to get them. Dallas (Tex,) News.

Niyisection.

One feels when reading an account oi the horrors perpetrated in the yivisec. tionists' laboratories that if those exper- imentalists would leave the lower ami mals (as they are calledl alone and would vivisect each other, society and science would be all the better for the change, and what is now sickening literature, and nothing else, would become in the hands of graphic chronioler as inter- esting as the account of trial for mur- der in France or description of Chi nese execution.

Pie For Silver Mine Owners.

In round numbers the annual pro- duct of our silver mines is 5O,00O, ,OOO ounces, and it can be bought to-day for 69 cents an ounce, or $34. 500. 900. But if it could all be taken to the mint and made into standard silver dollars, 1t would return it's owners nominal money value of over $64, 4,50O.OO0. In those circumstances it is of course ab- surd to suppose that the mine owners would sell penny weight of it to any body for less than it would yield at the mint. It is they alone who would reap whatever profit there might prove to be in disposing of silver bullion under a free coinage law.-Providence Journal.
