The Shorter Silver Catechism-

q. Mexico has bee N silver-stahd-
ard country for four centuries What
is it, present monetary condition A i.
Ii il on a silver specie basis. Ten banks
issue notes-s2s, Az 600 in all. The
specie silver reserve to pay them is
SO, 10000. There is SIS, 900, 600, in sill
yer dollars in circulation, and the
country has about $50, ,OO0, 600 of money
in use, counting in gold and subsidiary
silver. The population is II, l00,0OO-
$3.50 per capita. There are no Govern
ment notes.
q. What has become of the s, ,32l, :
900, 600 coined by the eleven mints ? A.
IL has been exported as fast as it was
coined, as bullion, to pay for imports,
at It's commercial price as bullion.
q. What is Mexican dollar equal
to in our silver coinage? A. s1yO94. II
contains 1868 grains Of fine silver,
ours 371.25.
q. What is it worth i'm Mexico in
gold? A. Exactly 5s cents when sill
yer is worth IS cents per ounce, as
bullion; and 63 cents for legal tender
five cents being the cost Of coinage.
II fiuctuates from day to day as bar
silver fiuctuates i'm London.
q Then Mexican silver dollar is
worth no more in Mexico than il is
anywhere else in the worId-its market
price as bullion. A. Yes, five eents-the
cost Of coinage. 1t has no other fiat
value in Mexico.
q. Then its practical ''free and I'M
limited coinage" adds nothing to its
value? 4. Only the legal tender fiat
value. If free coined this would disap-
pear, and il would only be worth in
Mexico its weight in silver.
q. What is the cost of living in the
city of Mexico? A. About one fourth
more than in New York eity-in
Mexican money. Hotel rates are $
per day. Cabs cost sl.50 per hour.
Street, ear fares are 81 cents. Rents are
higher han in New York city; board
il dearer; restaurant meals cost more.
Q.What is the cost of food ? A. Flour,
s. cents; sugar 10 cents; beef 81 cents
pork, s. cents; coffee, 2i cents; tea
(cheapest), 81; cheese, - cents All
staples imported cost gold prices in adj
ditiOn to duties.
q. How much of this Mexican sill
yer money can man earn? A. The
street-car companies pay conductors
drivers and collectors from 80 cents tC
81 per day. The highest wages paid
blacksmiths is s230; bookbinders, 81
carpenters, sl.50; engine drivers, sl.5Oi
harness-makers, hatters, blaeksmiths
silversmiths, plumbers and turner's, 81;
machinists, sI.75; brieklayers, stons
cutters, house-painters, sl.2j- Many
work for half these rates
q. Then the cost Of living is much
higher and wages of craftsmen much
lower than with US? A Decidedly.
A craftsman in Mexico receives praeti
cally one-half American wages, and
his living in the same way as herr
costs much more.
q. How Is it with laborers? a.
They get from S5l to 80 cents per day
in this Mexican silver.
q. And how do they live? A. "At
less expense than farm horse in New
New England" and not so well, John
Bigelow once remarked. 1.-THE labor

| Neili St EilOn, uiu net tnlnk you

that gentleman's ear, as he was slowly
making his way into the crowded
rooms
"How?'' st. Elton asked.

till up comes a captain, or a colonel, or
a something, with straps on his shoul-
ders, and you are slipped as well as the
rest of u.s."
st. Elton did not reply He was look
ing at June.
She stood beside Colonel Brett, and,
though addressing her conversation to
others about her, one could see at
glance she was far from Indifferent to
the man beside her.
Her delicate reference to his opinions,
the tones of her voice in addressing
him, the glance of her eyes, st. Elton
thought, all seemed to say she had a
right to his devotion, and, more, that
he had also a right to hers.
Both men looked at each other with
keen eyes when they were presented,
and st. Elton's face betrayed more than
he had intended it should.
Colonel Brett turned to June and said
something in an undertone as st. Ell
ton moved away. She shook her head
in reply, and the gay talking went on
as before.
Half an hour later st. Elton passed
them in the conservatory. The angry
look he gave the colonel was not un-
noticed by June.

"He acted strangely last night, and

Ibid not tell you that he was jeal :

answered, as June disappeared.
She touched st. Elton's arm as he
was standing i'm the door leading out
into the grounds,
Something is the matter with you"
He turned upon her sharply.
"You cannot cure me if there is.

answered, smiling, "hut a stroll i'm the

pany YOU"
"Come yourself for five minutes"
Certainly. l shall be delighted to
please you"
She took his arm and they stepped
out under the stars.
When they were away from the sound
of voices st. Elton stopped abruptly.

fierce tone.
She drew her arm from his as though
she were touching poison.
"What did you say?"

He covered her lips with burning

The Old Velvet Club won its third game
OF the season last night in the Jersey
CITY League by defeating the Clio Wheel
men on Heyes' alleys, after a very lively
contest. The game drew all the admir-
ers OF the game in the vicinity of Pyth-
ian Hall to the alleys and the rooters
for the Clos were largely in the ma
Jority. The opening contest was the
best OF the night and gave the boys a
chance to enthuse. The Clos were be-
hind after the second frame until the
ninth when the scores were equal. A
hot windup ensued and the credit of
Connolly against a split for Esher gave
the Pavonia rel boys a chance to
congratulate themselves, as luck was
with them for the third time in a very
long and monotonous season. The wheel
men rode to win in the second game and
managed to do SO, thus dividing the
honors. The scores were not above the
ordinary figure. Records were:-

Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1896-08-01

In the light of recent events
the EXAMINER is of the opin-
ion that the only silver man
that can be elected to the
United States senate from
Idaho is Fred T. Dubois.
The conclusion is drawn from
the following: The demo-
Gratis are in the minority, and
so are the populists, and the
republicans are hopelessly di-
vided. We believe that if
Dubois was given the support
Of all silver people, the cleo
ton of Bryan electors would
be a foregone conclusion,
while if no such assurance
was given, every party, for
there will be four, would have
a candidate and it might re-
suit in losing a silver senator.
By a "silyer senator" we
mean one who would fight for
silver, regardless of the con-
sequences, as Dubois has
done. Idaho does not want a
milk and water representative
in the upper house. And
some step ought to be taken
TO insure a steadfast supporter
of the white metal. Those
that have been tried are the
safest.

uncalled fer. IL is now claimed thai,
that wonderful instrument Of human
freedom gives that right to the gentler
sex as freely and unreservedly as TO the
men. w. S. Harwood in the North
American Review takes this view of the
matter and gives his reasons for it.
Article XIV, which has been in force
since July, 1876, reads:
3 lAn persons born or raturalized in the
United States and subject to the juris-
diction thereof. are citizens OF the
United States and Of the state wherein
they reside No state shall make or
enforce any law which shall ahridge the
privileges or immunities OF citizens of
the United States; nor shall any state
deprive any person of life, liberty, or
property without due process Of law nor
deny to any person within its jurisdic-
ton the equal protection OF the laws.
The All hor mentioned argues that this
article clearly defines citizens as per
sons born or naturalized in the United
States, and accords to all such, irrespec-
tive of sex, equal political privileges.
The next amendment, declared to DO in
force in 1870, reads:
The rights of citizens of the United
ates to vote shall not be denied Or
abridged by the United States or by
any state on account of race, color OF
previous condition o. servitude.
This amendment, it is pointed out,
gives the women OF the colored race the
undoubted right to vote in the United
States, since it expressly specifies that
citizens formerly in bondage are &C.
corded this privilege, and "eitizens" are
defined as persons" born or naturalzed
in the Republic. The only question
therefore is whether the women are
"persons" and according to the uaani'
IN us testimony of photographers, that
fact cannot be denied.
1t is further pointed ont that The
que tion may be of great Importance in
the coming presidential election.
There are some states in which the
women will cast their votes for presi-
dental electors. What will be done
with the votes of these states? Viii
they be rejected in spite of the fact that
they are cast under the sanction of the
state laws? In case the election should
be very close, these questions would be
exceedingly interesting.
Mr.. HARDWOOD concludes that the right
to vote can be denied the women only

A Model Farm.

Last Sunday party consisting
of VIM. Chapman, wife and daugh-
Ter, Mrs. G. A. Hoover and we edi-
tor and wife, went over to Liberty
to see "the finest ranch and stock
in Bear Lake county," The buggy
was stopped at the place of c. H.
Brown, as the farm above referred
to and the party got out. A warm
welcome from Mr.. and Mrs. Brown
awaited the visitors, and likewise
good dinner. after -pHstaking- Of
a large-asnonnB Of the latter a trip
for all hands was taken about the
the farm. It developed an 80 acre
tract Of the finest patch Of hay we
have ever seen. The owner expects
to put up at least 300 tons from it
and perhaps more. The quality
is tie finest, being a mixture of
timothy, redtop and clover. Acres
of turnips, carrots, rutabagas, and
other vegetables especially suitable
for feeding stock, were also seen.
Mr.. Browns herd of Holsteens is
the pride of the valley, as are also
his thoroughbred Cottswool sheep
His butter product is known in
three states, and when one observes
the scientific and labor saving
methods he employs, it is not to
be wondered at. A Babeoek milk
tester shows just how much butter
each COW is capable Of producing,
A DeLayal cream separator takes
out the cream as fast as the boys
milK the cows. All dirt and in
furious substances are also separ-
ated from the cream leaving it as
pure as possible. The butter ehurn
is run by dog power and the pro-
duct is never touched BY the hands.
After seeing all these improve
ments one cannot help knowing
why such farm is paying in
vestment. Bear Lake would be
thousand times better off if all of
its farmers could take pattern
from Mr.. Brown. It is a notice
able fact that many of them are
as far as their means will permit.
