w. r. Hearst, proprietor Of the San
Francisco Examiner and the New York
Journal, has leased two pages OF the
Chicago Record in which to present the
silver side of the case to the voters Of
Chicago.
The Record, though generally very
fair, has leaned toward the gold side and
Mr.. Hearst, who is advocating the cause
Of Bryan, proposes to present the peo-
Plies side Of the question as against the
trusts and gold combine.
The Record is one of the largest OF the
metropolitan papers and it is a new de-
parture in journalism for such a paper to
lease it's columns to any political party,
but it certainly will acquire influence
and subscribers by its present course.
The gold trust has complete control Of all
the large dailies in Chicago, except the
Record, News and Dispatch, and as the
Record will henceforth devote two Of it's
pages to the cause Of the people, the
~sophistries of the single standard men
will be exposed to the people of Chicago.

The area Of Nevada is ITO. 700 square
miles or TO- 4s, 900 acres. II has vast
undeveloped resources, mineral, sgricul-
tural and grazing. Its soil is productive
aud its climate salubrious. Its cereals,
such as wheat and barley, bring the high
est market price at the s~esbosrd. and as
an alfalfa producing region il is unsur-
passed. Its beef, fatteued on this sue
culent hay. is equal to that fed on corn
in the Mississippi Valley States. and its
mutton from the ranges commands the
highest prices. Its mineral resources are
vast and varied. Gold, silver. nickel.
copper, lead. sntimony and iron are found
in its mountains, and salt, sulphur, Boz
rax and other minerals, which have 9
commercial value, in its deserts. but not
w~ithstanding all these advantages the
State is not prosperous. The reason as.
signed for this is the appreciation OF gold
since the single standard was adopted,
and the corresponding depreciation of oil
other products Of the soil or the mines.
In the ten years from 1880 to 1890 the
decrease 10 population was l6. sos, &C
cording to the census Of the United
States. This is unprecedented in . new
State, aud if any other cause than the
characterization Of silver has been given
for il the writer has never heard Of it.
Here we have q State Of great resour-
ces, which are yet undeveloped, decreas-
ing in population and taxable property
under the blighting influence Of the single
gold standard. and our people are urged
by plsce-hunting politicians to cast their
votes to maintain that standard.
We know that the demonstration Of
silver has deprecated the value Of ell
property, that it has thrown thousands
out of employment, depopulated whole
sections Of the State, deprived the farmer
Of q home market, and the miner Of an
opportunity to earn IN honest living for
himself and his family, increased the
burdens of debt and taxation, and yet
we are asked to support the party that is
responsible for this ~deplorable condition
Of affairs and that brazenly proclaims
that ID will continue the present financial
policy until foreign nations, which are
waxing fat at our expense, graciously
permit US to change it.-Reno Journal.

When Maurier died the other day,
says the Salt Lake Tribune, the story
wal cabled that he had never had more
than . living until the success of Trilby
brought him . sudden fortune which
killed him, and that fool story is still
going the rounds. A great majority Of
men die between Sc and Ga; men gener-
ally live out their time unless overcome
with care and anxiety or are subject to
some vice. Men Of good habits do not
die when the fear Of not leaving an indie.
pendence for their children is suddenly
taken away. Maurier would have died
just the same had he never written Tril-
by. Some men are made Of oak, some Of
ash, some Of pine, some Of soft wood, and
they live accordingly. Gen. Grant is
the only man in history who made death
wait 81 the door until he finished the
work which was TO save his dear ones
from penury and that kind Of care that
breaks hearts.

WHAT FREE COINAGE MEANS.

A correspondent asks the Salt Lake
Tribune to give . definition Of what free
coinage means, and il answer as follows:
"If free coinage ever passes the Congress
Of the United States and becomes . law,
we do not know in what condition 1t will
emerge in the complete bill, but our dea
of free coinage is that the Government OF
the United States shall declare that the
silver dollar Of 4l25 standard grains
shall henceforth be again . unit OF values
Is it was prior to 1873. And the law
will further impose upon the mints and
treasury the taking of oil that may be
supplied Of pure silver and coming the
same at the ratio OF Is to l OF gold, or
the payment for the same ct that ratio in
silver dollars, or in any other money f
the United States that the Treasurer may
elect. The idea of free coinage is to
make silver once more absolute primary
money, . legal tender for all debts, pub
lie and private, to any amount; to recog-
nize 10 precisely as gold is recognized,
except that gold is worth $40 81 an
ounce, while silver will be worth Sl.2929.
Free coinage means that when any in
debtedness of the United States is pre-
sented for liquidation, it can be paid in
either gold or silver, ct the option Of the
Treasurer, and to make it SO that when
any man owes any debt in the United
States, he can elect for himself in what
kind of money. either gold or silver, he
shall pay, even as he did prior to 1873"

An EXTRAORDINARY MAN.

A mysterious force, which most OF us
will not permit ourselves to consider,
radiates from the personality OF Mr.. Bry.
an himself. As the weeks pass and public

in his unprecedented personal campaign,
which has already surpassed in mere flow
Of words and magnificent distances any
crusade since that Of Peter the Hermit,
must We not pause to reflect upon the ct.
feet Of such doings on the minds OF the
people! 1t has been s~hrewdly said by
some of his critics that Mr.. Bryan would
have made . great popular evangelist had
he been directed to the paths Of religion
instead of politics. Mr.. Moody has by
implication acknowledged this in his re-
cent complimentary reference to MIR.
Bryan's method Of popular speaking. and
Mr.. Moody is q good judge OF how to
reach the people. The Democratic can
