The First Woman Ssnator.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, Nov. 49,
For the first time perhaps, in Ameri
can history, woman has been elected
to the upper house of legislature
She is Martha Huges Cannon, and she
will vote on all laws to be made fo,
this new State during the coming
session.
Mrs. Cannon lives in this city. She
is Democrat, and her opponent on
the Republican side was Angus M.
Cannon. She was elected over her
spouse by 1000 votes. This fact is the
best indication in the world how wo-
men have progressed in Utah.
Mrs Cannon is practicing physic-
ian, with a good income, she is an
active woman suffragist, with ultra
modern ideas and social notions that
tend toward reform along practical
lines. Personally she is an attractive
woman, small in stature, aged 80, clear
,ompIexioned. small hands and feet.

Honest Farmer Jansen's Views.

There are many reasons for thinking
that free silver is losing ground in Kan
sas, Nebraska and other parts Of the
west, where it has been strongest and
where tho people have devoted most
time and thought to this question.
Earnest study has convinced many farm
ers that the "crime Of 1878" is myth i;
that 1t does not pay to be dishonest; /;
that gold is better than silver; that BIZ
metallism Ia impossible, and that there
Is nothing but wind back Of the delusive
promises Of silverites. One Of these prac-
tical everyday farmers, who both thinks
and talks for himself. is Peter Jansen
Of Nebraska He is not the only one In
his state, for he went to the St Louis
convention as delegate at large. He
was put on the committee on resolu-
tons and here is what he said when no
announced his vote:
God hates cowards and every hon
est man does the same and, therefore,
on behalf Of the Republicans Of tho
great state of Nebraska, shall vote for
the resolution which declares for the
gold standard and says just what 1t
means. The time is past for the Repub-
lican party to straddle this question.
We must meet the issue fairly and
squarely like men. don't SEQ why we
should be afraid to take the metal which
has been the only measure OF value
since these United States begun to coin
money, while even the country from
which am an exile. half civilized Rus
STA, is preparing to get on to gold
basis, and 1t would not at all become the
most enlightened nation on ths globe to
take step backward and join Mexico,
Japan and China. Gentlemen, we shall
not gain q single electoral vote by re-
framing to declare for gold standard,
but we will lose the respect and credit
of the whole world, whose eyes are upon
this convention, by avoiding to say just
what we mean. The people Of Nebraska
are anxious and willing to pay their
debts, but they are not ready to hqui-
date them with 30 cent dollar. /
trust gentlemen, the resolution will be
carried ~

GOLD AND SILVER.
FREQ Coinage Would Drive Gold Out.


This country has now over $780,
900, 900 in metallic money in nearly
equal amounts Of gold and silver. The
free coinage advocates propose that the
government should coin all tho silver
brought to the United States mints at o
ratio Of 18 to /. AS the commercial
ratio is over 80 to /, the result Of such
free coinage would be to force out OF
circulation all the gold now in use.
This always has been and always will
be the effect Of laws making a cheaper
money a legal tender for the same
amount Of value az better money.
There can be no escape from the con-
clusion that so long as the bullion in q
silver dollar is worth less than that in
q gold dollar the dcarer coin will not
circulate.
The real question. therefore, which
the American people are called upon to
answer is whether they wish to continue
the present system, by which over $780,
O0O,0O Of silver money is kept at q
parity with gold, or to adopt l6 to l
free coinage law which will give us sill
yer money only. All who want the per.
manent use of both metals should vote
for o sound currency based on the gold
standard. The men who arc shouting
for free silver may call themselves obi
metallists," but they are in reality
working for the contraction of our
money to the single silver standard.

Tho Silver Mine Owners Stake.

Every dollar Of our present silver
coinage was coined on government &C
count, and, though the coins are worth
intrinsically only 90 cents, yet they arc
maintained at parity with gold by the
government treating them the same as
gold and making them receivable for all
dues public and private. 1t is this that
keeps our present silver coinage In cir
culation alongside of gold, coupled with
coinage is under the absolute control Of
the government and tho belief that no
moro will be issued at any time than
the government can maintain at all
times on an equality with gold.
But under free coinage there would
be no such restraint, as every holder of
SIX grains of pure silver would be
permitted to take the same to the mints
and have 1t coined into a silver dollar
without charge. There would conse-
quently be All uninterrupted flow Of
bullion into the government mints from
every quarter of the globe so long as it
was profitable to convert 37l4 grains
of pure silver bullion into q silver dol
lar. The owners of silver would reap q
rich harvest by being enabled to change
90 cents worth of silver bullion into a
100 cent dollar. Under government
coinage the government purchased the
silver at its market value and then coined
it into silver dollars, and the difference
between the bullion and the coinage
value Injured to the benefit Of tho gov
ernment, but under free and unlimited
coinage the difference between the bull
lion and the coinage value would go
into the pockets Of the individual silver
owners-Senator J. G. Burrows
