One of the strongest points is that before the vast increase of proportion ate production of gold and silver had brought about the great reduction in price of silver bullion the two coins held the same purchasing power in the stores Of Nogales. With the fall in silver the prices of goods advanced, as expressed ia Mexican money. But for American money there has been no raise in prices However, how has 1t been with the working classes2 Those who are paid in Mexican money have had their wages cut in two, for the cost of what they consume has doubled; while they are paid just the same. In the old daysa common day laborer was paid 'dober dollar for a day work. He is still paid his "dobe" dollar but it buys only half so much. The American workman, however, who is paid in American money, has suffered no loss
 Now should Bryan and free coinage congress be erected THE OASIS con tends, that as soon as ! free coinage bill becomes a law the American sil- yer dollar, which will be used to pay wages, will buy yno more than the Mex ican silver dollar, and every working man in the United States will find the purchasing power of his money re- duced one half, without any raise whatever in the rate at which he is paid. If that fact IS brought to the attention of the working people of the United States MT. Bryan will not get a single electoral vote.

The best times this country has ever had since tie panc of 1873 was from 1878 to 1893, while we were putting the $500. .9O0,000 of new silver into cir culati1n. and thus helping to sustain prices. lJeTome News.
 Yet in all that time the bullion value of silver in the market steadily went down. It was the good effects ql republican administration upon the business of the country which rendered possible the absorption into circulation of all that vast amount of deprecated bullion without depreciat- ing the coin.

The Detroit Tribune, a republican newspaper now supporting Bryan, says:
 It is true that under an area of higher prices fixed salaries will not go SO far as now, but now they go too far and their purchasing power ought to be reduced"
 That's exactly what's the matter. The worker is waxing fat and inde- pendent. If they reduce bis wages he will strike and make trouble: but if they can get him to vote for depre- ciated coinage they will cut in half the purchasing power of his wages, and induce him to bring about bis own subjection.

The Constitutional Amendment.

We had hoped to publish in full Supt.
Biggs' letter on this subject. but its
length and the pressure Of news matter
has compelled us TO give only the follow
ing summary OF its contents:
AT the last session OF the Colorado gen.
eral assembly bill was passed provid-
ing for submitting to the voters an
amendment to tho constitution which, if
carried, will result in the refunding OF
the states Indebtedness by the issue OF
per cent bonds. Before the bill was
passed it received close scrutiny in the
committee rooms ind was then passed
with only six adverse votes in the senate
and eleven in the house.
In voting for the amendment you do
not vote in the direction of making new
debt. 1t is only changing the form of
Indebtedness of acknowledged validity.
State taxation cannot be increased as
the money to pay the bonds must be set
apart out Of the revenue from the four
mills tax.
This floating debt has been created by
several causes, but largely by the legis-
latures basing their appropriations on
tho estimated revenue of the two sue
ceeding years instead Of upon the actual
revenue of the two past years.
The courts holding that the revenue
of any year must be applied to the ap-
preparations Of that year has caused an
accumulation Of excess warrants.
The amount of bonds asked for is S1,-
200, ,00O-the actual Indebtedness is ST.
155,52713.
None Of the money will go to the hold
ers Of excess warrants authorized by the
'robber seyenth"-they being in itiga-
ton.
As the state can not be sued, these
bonds must be voted il the state would
act honestly with the innocent holders of
the warrants.
The constitution requires that the
school fund be kept intact-the state to
make good all losses. The law author
izing it, the state treasurer invested S443,-
720 of the school fund in these excess
warrants. On this about 100000 of in
terest has accumulated. By voting the
bonds the public school fund will have
about SO for every person of school age,
which will be distributed to each district
throughout the state.
The state has received full value for
this Indebtedness and the amendment
should be carried,
