"Well, how many silver mine owners

'And they are the only ones to be

"Why of course. might as we'll be
honest about it, l am mine owner n

So this honest mine owner said to
myself, let's the cat out of the bag.
Eighteen thousand mine owners, with
free coinage would double their wealth
at the expense of 7O,OOc,9OO people.

Nevada and Idaho are not silver States

MASONIC TEMPLE.
A Steel Frame, stone Front, FIVE Story.
Modern building


Modern Building
For some time past the Masons of
this city haye had under consideration
the erection of Masonic Temple,
The matter has recently been put in
the hands of committee composed of
E. B. Morrison, Henry Strecker, Robert
Shiers, Thomas Sugden, a. d. Follett,
Nelson Moore, c. s! Colt, j. II. Riley,
c. r. Elston and F. c. Audibert. This
committee has secured options upon
the adjoining properties owned by
Judge NJ D. Follett and Edward and
Charles Meisenhelder on Putnam street
between Second and Third. The prop
erty SO optioned fronts over 80 feet on
Putnam street, extending back about
2oO feet. 1t is the intention. of the
Masons to'erect upon this lot q, thor
oughly modern building; far bn advance
of any building now in the city, and
fully equal to the best modern city
buildings. The building will probably
be five stories high, with stone front,
and built in the modern style of con-
struction with a steel frame work, the
frame work supporting the walls in
stead of the walls supporting the
frame work.
On the first floor of this building will
be three superb store rooms, with ware
rooms in the rear into which the rail-
road tracks of the Terminal Railway
Company will extend. The upper
story will be divided up into rooms for
the various Masonic bodies, including
handsome banquetting, hall and a
large drill room. Other lodge rooms,
and perhaps an assembly hall will be
in the building. The remainder of the
building will be cut up into Offices,
supplied with light and air in the style
of the best modern Office buildings, and
fully equipped with. every modern con-
venience.
The building will contain its own
heating and lighting apparatus, light
and heat being furnished to all ten
ants; also an elevator, which will be
run all day and until late at night; a
janitor will permanently reside in the
building.
1t is the intention to make this build
ing the equal of any city building of
similar size, credit to the city, and a
monument to the Masonic order in
this, the home of its oldest lodge west
of the Alleghenies. 1t is believed that
the building will pay handsome divi-
dend on the investment. A corpora
will be organized to buy the ground
and construct the building, in which
all Masons are expected to take stock.
None but the most desirable tenants
will be allowed in the building, and it
it is believed that there will be great
demand for space in it.

Old and New Trotting Records-Kite-
Shaped Track and Bicycle Sulky.

Old and New Trotting Records-Kite-
Shaped Track and Bicycle sulI1y.
The first kite-shap.d track to COM
mand general attention was built at
Independence, Ia, in 1890. Its one
long turn made it con siderably faster
that the regulation or oval track with
two turns. A kite record, therefore, is
not valued as highly as regulation
track record.
In July, 1892, the 2S inch wheel,
pneumatic tire, of the bicycle, was
applied to the sulky, and it was quick
ly demonstrated to be SO much faster
than the high-wheel sulky that it's use
is now almost universal. 1t is rare to
see high-wheel sulky in a race. AS
the bicycle is from four to five seconds
faster than the high-wheel, record to
that kind of vehicle ranks lower than
one made to the old-fashioned sulky.
The best record to high-wheel sulky
on regulation track is the 2. 0SA of
Maud S. The best record to high
wheel sulky on kite track is the 2.0s4
of Sunol. The records of Nancy Hanks
and AliX were made to bicycle sulky.
Maud S. trotted to a Ss-pound sulky,
and Alix to a sulky of 2s pounds. The
two-year-old record of Arion was made
to high-wheel sulky on kite, and on
the strength of it he was sold for $685.

Ell Perkins Exposes the Free-coin.
age Fallacy.

At Helena, Mont, the silver and gold
miners complain about the ignorance
of Eastern financial writer's on the
silver question.
why" said one of the largest mine
owners yesterday, in Helena, ''they
don't even know what we mean by free
coinage. They think that free coin
age means with silver as it does with
gold. Not Bit"
''What is the free coinage of gold
that we haye now?" l asked. Explain
it,
SIT is this: Wyoming produces silver
and gold. 1 know what am talking
about. When get 100 grains of gold
80 per cent fine, can take it to the mint
and get coin that weighs 100 grains 90
per cent fine in its place"
sis any value guaranteed to this gold
by the Government"
mo 1t doesn't need guarantee. 1t
guarantees itself. 1t is worth as much
in bullion anywhere on eal tn as it is in
coin"
Now" continued the mine owner,
thinks that this is the way we want to
have our silver coined. We would be
fools to want that. We don't want to
sell it to, the Government at its COM
mercial value. What we do want is
that the Government shall take our 100
ounces of pure silver, coin it and hand
MS coined silver guaranteed double its
true value. We want the mint to take
fifty cents worth OF silver and give us
back coin guaranteed to be worth
about dollar in gold. Coming our
silver and handing back the coin at its
commercial value would not help the
miner. We would rather sell our silver
on the market Why should we take
coin the same value as bullion? The
a625, 600, 900 of dollars already coined by
the Government have not been demon
etized. We want a dollar like the
present Government dollar, not dem
onetized."
''You only get about half price for
your silver, or 66 cents ON dollar now,"
said.
That's all, and we want to get
dollar, or we don't want any change in
coinage"
'You work your mines and are paid
in cheap commercial silver?" / sug-
gested.
"Yes, we get fifty-cent silver, and
we have to pay our miners in Govern
inent silver worth as much as gold.
All labor, and all wheat, pork and cot
ton are paid for in coined silver guar
anteed by the Government as good as
gold, while we mine owners get half
price for silver"
.Would You pay your miners with
free coinage more and better money
than you are paying them now?" 1
asked.
"Why, certainly not. We couldn't
pay them better money. One silver
dollar is rs good as gold row-all oyer
this world"
.sThen how would the working miner
be benefited by free coinage?"
sHe wouldn't be benefited, but we

PATRIOTIC BANKS.

1t is now in order for the National
Bankers and Coupon Clippers to form
ulate the details Of their general plan OF
assuming the gold standard for our
money system. 1t was not difficult
task during the heat of the last cam
paign to play upon the pride and pre-
juices of the uninformed and unthink-
ing voter with the music of "honest
money" sound money" "repudiation,"
anarchists" and tho like, but when
confronted with the responsible duty of
adjusting the details of money system
to the general theories advanced by
them, they will find. and are realizing,
the impediments in the way OF an en-
tirely satisfactory solution of the great
problem about which they so fiippantly
discoursed on the stump.
AS the democratic press and speakers
have insisted all along, there underlies
the whole subj desire to speculate
off the egovernment, and while protesting
to advocate such policy as would ad.
vance tho interests of the people and
give them a more beneficial system
the men with money to manipulate are
not able to hide the eleven foot of self
in terest. This self-inteIest has been
the guide to their actions, and by the
use of high sounding phrases, they have
succeeded in misleading the unwary as
to their assumed disinterested motives.
But now that the details of their plan
are developed, il is easily seen that the
banks are to be benefited and the gov.
crnment is to become the loser
From what is at this time apparent,
one feature of the proposed plan is to
retire the greenbacks and silver certiti-
Gates, amounting to nearly S6S0,000,00O,
aud issue 3 per cent government bonds
in lieu OF this currency, the banks taking
the bonds at par and issuing the face
value thereof in National bank notes
These notes would be circulated to the
extent OF 70 per cent, the other - per
cent being kept as a reserve for the re.
demption of the whole issue when de.
! manded. The banks, on this reserve
which constitutes their whole invest.
ment, draw interest at the rate OF Il
per cent, which is a fat investment
where money brings but per cent, and
when we consider that these bonds are
not taxable for any purpose.
This is only the beginning OF the pro
posed robbery Of the treasury which
must be looted in order that the million!
expended to secure the election OF Me
Kinley may be restored to the patriots
who advanced il. II the fellows whC
danced to the republican music wert
the only contributors to the Gdders, i
might be all right, but those who re
ceiyed none OF the pleasurable emo
!, tions Of the giddy whirl are expected t,
' make their contributions as we'll.
