To. hear some people talk and
they profess to he very wise, one
might be led to believe that the
government mints now constructed
and used for coming gold and sill
yer are the only mints we could
ever have. They talk upon the
theory that the material, machin-
cry, genius and labor that made
these minis were all destroyed as
soon as they were completed and
that in word, the making of mints
is absolutely a lost art. AS soon as
the bill providing for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver shall
have become law, which will be
some time in the early spring of
the year of our Lord, 1897, Cong
ress will at once provide for the
making of necessary number of
mints to coin at least enough mon
ey to supply about 6O,oOO,oO0 mon
eyless American people.
Don't worry about the mints.

obeyed. On arrival at the home
of the sufferer, and examination
and consultation with DR.. Parker
and others, another effort was made
to reduce the hernia by taxis, but
this also failed to be effective, and
then, as last resort, notwithstand-
ing the extreme age and physical
ipfirmities of the old gentleman,
the physicians, with the full con-
sent of the patient and the mem-
bers of his family, and as a last
resort, decided to operate, which
was done to the entire satisfaction

standing the ordeal we'll and after
recovering from the effects of anes-

the doctors and his family, was
full of hope of his recovery. The
