A Tribute to an old Comrade.
fCoMNfuNICATEDl

One by one the veterans OF the Republic
enter the gates OF the silent City OF the
Dead, never again to stand amid the sad
wreckage upon the shores OF mortal life.
The last to cross the silent river to the
Valley OF the Shadows and join the in
Vulnerable throng to answer the final
r~oli-call at the great encampment where
suffering and carnage is unknown and
all is JOY and peace, was my old comrade
and friend, |. NJ. Riker, late of Racine
township, Day County, whose death
occurred July "a.
When it became known that Mr.. Riker
had passed away, more than one eye was
suffused in tears, because all knew him
as a true Christian gentleman who wore
his religion around with him in his every
day life. They remembered his cheerful,
pleasant ways that he was a man to
whom distress never preferred it's suit
in VAIN, whose heart was expanded by
b~enevolence, seeking always to promote
the happiness OF Others, and a never fail

besides a granddaughter, who lived
with him and was a great solace to the

Though the implacable monster came
suddenly, yet it found him ready. As the

CHIEF JUSTICE BlGELoW's VIEWS.
Nevada's Great Jurist Says Free Coinage
Will Injuro Silver Miners. Pensioners
and All but 8 Few Debtors.

ana AL out u rev DeDLOES.
Chief Justice r. r. Bigelow of the
supreme court of Nevada had a letter in
q recent issue Of the Reno (Nev.) Ga
zette which states some of the effects Of
I6 to / free coinage very clearly. Here
is a part Of his letter:
1t is not TO be denied that the Repub-
licans of this state are hard hit by the
action of the ST. Louis convention upon
the monetary question. The free coinage
of silver is believed TO be so much TO
the advantage of Nevada as q silver
producer, and we have for so many
years heard nothing but free coinage
Eat 16 TO /" arguments, that we have
one can think otherwise who is not a
scoundrel bought with British gold.
But there is another side to the question
that is believed in sincerely by millions
Of as pure patriots a any who believe
in free coinage of silver. Amy man who
says that this country can alone double
the value of all the silver of the world
and bring it and gold to par is either
ignorant Of the lessons of the past or he
willfully shuts his eyes to them. If the
free silverites carry the election this fall
on their 16 to 1 platform, it will not
only pa-alyze business-it will utterly
destroy 1t. There will be scarcely a
bank or business house in the land that
will not go down before the storm. It
will send gold to almost 100 per cent
premium. and, as measured with silver,
everything else will go up in value with
IL, but as it will take twice az many
dollars as now to buy the same article
it will be Of no earthly advantage to
any n except to the man who owes
debts that he has not promised to pay
in gold. His silver dollars will pay such
q debt just as during the war green
backs would pay one, although worth
but 83 cents ON the dollar. but they
will only buy half as much -four or
clothing or groceries as now.
But If he owes money to banks or
money lenders-and whodoes not?-who
have all protected themselves by gold
contracts, he will have to take two Of
his silver dollars to buy one in gold, and
at the same time, owing to the general
~stagnation in business, they will be
harder to get hold of than gold dollars
are now. 1t will be Of no advantage to
the silver states. because their silver will
be just as hard to get from the ground as
now, and a pound of it will buy no more
steel or powder or any of the necessaries
of life than now.
But the laboring man will be the one
who will suffer the most. The Comstock
miner will still get 81 per day, the la

it is now in Mexico, it will only buy

their pensions. It's effect will be to scale
their pensions down one-half.
There is not one of the arguments Of
the silverites that cannot be completely
and successfully refuted. Free coinage
at 10 to 1 by this country alone cannot
possibly benefit any one, but it car bring
fearful distress upon all.

A Poor Argument For Free Silver.

The free coinage agitators ask the
people to vote for the 16 to 1 scheme on
the ground that the bankers, manufac-
turers and merchants are all in favor of
a sound currency. ''If the banking and
business interests are opposed to free
silver say the cheap dollar advocates,
''the farmers and workers should sup
port it. There must be something good
for the poor in this free coinage scheme
just because the rich people do not want
it"
OF all unreasonable and demagogic
pleas for so tent dollars this is the
worst. An exactly similar argument
would be a demand on the part Of the
millions who do not w homes or
buildings of any kind that all houses
should be burned down because it would
hurt property owners. There is no doubt
but that every man in America who
owns a building would say, if asked,
that he is opposed to having his proper
ty destroyed. But that would be no rea-
son why the people who have no homes
should favor arson.
The attempt to create a prejudice III

ness men and bankers believe in hon
esty can never succeed with fair mind.
ed, honorable citizens. They will decide
the silver question on its merits and
will not be led astray by appeals to ole
class to vote for cheap and trashy money
merely because it is favored by another
class.

TRYING TO DODGE THE REAL ISSUE.
PRESIDENTIAL Candidate Bryan Appeals to
National Prejudice In Order to Create
Sympathy For h Silverites.

PRESIDENTIAL Candidate Bryan Appeals to
National Prejudice In Order to Create
sympathy For the SiIverites.
In the speech which gained him the
democratic nomination for president
the Hon. ". J. Bryan Of Nebraska said
In reference to what he termed ''the
great, paramount issue:" envy friends.
we shall declare that this nation is able
10 legislate for its own people on every
question without waiting for the aid or
consent of any other nation on earth,
and upon that issue we expect to carry
every single state in this Union"
Ii this means anything, it means that
the paramount issue" on which the
sllverlte campaign is to be fought is not
free silver at 16 to /, but the question
whether this country is able to legislate
for Its own people. On this issue there
can be no dispute. OF course the United
States a legislate without the aid or
consent of any other country. No advo
cate of sound money will for a monet
deny Mr.. Bryan's assertion, nor has any
one ever done so. If congress chooses to
pass a law that the tides shall never
rise more than four feet along any part
OF our seacoast, it has a perfect right to
do so. If the United States wishes to
enact legislation ~forbidding the Russian
thistle to grow, it is able to do so with
out the consent of any other nation. If
congress chooses to fix the price of sugar
at a cents per pound, it can legislate to
that effect without any aid from the
hated British or Frenchman. There is
no doubt about our ability to legislate
on every question without asking any
body's consent.
But If congress passes foolish laws.
will they have any effect? That is the
real issue. Can the price Of such a COM
modify as sugar be fixed by our laws?
Certainly not. Equally impossible would
1t be to fix the price of silver at 16 to /
Of gold. No believer in sound money
thinks o. says that we cannot pass a
free and unlimited 16 to / coinage law.
They do say, and all the experience of
mankind proves that they are right, that
under such a law this country cannot
alone maintain the value of silver at
the present ratio.
Nh. Bryan's attempt to run away
from the question as to our ability to
raise the value of all the worlds silver
without the agreement (not the consent,
as he states it) of the great commercial
nations shows the weakness of the sill
yer cause. Confusing the ability to leg
islate, which nobody denies, with the
ability to control values by legislation
may do for a stump speech. 1t will not
deceive the American people, who know
well enough that our laws cannot fix
the value of silver or of any other labor
product.
