price Of silver throughout the world?
The question naturally occurs, what
would the United States treasury pur
chase the silver with? Well, what did
the Bank of England purchase gold
with? With the legal money of Eng
land, the money current in that coun-
try-gold, silver and bank notes. The
United States treasury would purchase
the silver with an exactly similar pro-
duct; that il, the legal money OF the
country-the money with whien all obli-
cations are liquidable and in which
prices are expressed and by which ex-
change is accomplished. We are told
that in case the United States should
attempt such thing the gold would all
leave this country, to which we ask.
why? England fixed the price of gold
throughout the world when one ounce
Of 1t was worth less than sixteen ounces
of silver, why can not the United States
fix heprice OF silver throughout the
world when sixteen ounces of it is worth
less than one ounce OF gold? Why.

And WHYi

The most serious difficulty we seem to
encounter in endeavoring to arrive at
correct solution of the money question
is the fact that like some other ques-
tions, it has two sides. Will some of
of our monometallic friends explain
why, ii England 81 years ago could fix
the price of gold throughout the world
by act of parliament, the United States
can not fix the price of silver today by
act of congress? 1t will be remembered
that in 1874 that England enacted a law
which Obliged the Bank of England to
purchase all the gold offered for sale,
and fixed the price to be paid at 81. Us.
3d., little less that $40 per ounce. That
act of the British legislature established
the price of gold throughout the world
and has maintained it for a half CEN
tury. Now if the Uuited States should
enact law obliging the treasury to pur-
chase all the silver offered at $l.29 per
ounce, would not that establish the

The London Finance News, gold bug,
says: The success OF free coinage will
bring down the rate of interest on
money, and cause an immediate rise in
the price of all commodities. When
silver becomes primary money the
American mines will pour their products
into the mints, and new era similar to
that produced by the issue of green
backs during the civil war will begin.
Gold will leave the banks and enter
into competition with silver in the ave-
nues of trade; and manufactures of the
United States, which have been shut
down or crippled siuce 1892, will again
resume their fight for the English mar
kets."

The First White Boy.

In 1859 or 80 male child was borned
in Virginia City at the corner of G
street and Sutton avenue, who was
named for his father, Mark Bryan. He
learned he printing trade here, and is
in that business in Phillipsburg, Mon
tana. The same year female child
was born to Mr.. and Mrs. Titon. She
was named Virginia and is now the
wife Of Sam Connors, carpenter
formely employed in the Ophir, and
afterwards at the Union Iron Works in
San Francisco. He is at present In South
Africa and reputed to be wealthy.
Both of the children were born while
what is now the State of Nevada was
was Carson City, Utah old Comstockers
will remember the efforts OF the friends
of this couple to bring about the
marrigage of the first couple born in this
camp, says an old timer in the Enter
prise.
The Elko Independent says an "Old
/ Timer in the Virginia Enterprise claims
that Mark Bryan was the first white
boy born in this State and fixes the time
of his birth in 1859 or 80. The Enter
terprise correspondent will have to
brush up his memory as the Bryan kid
was tenderfoot compared to Henry
Jones of Elko. Henry first saw the
light in Carson Valley in 1858 and as far
as heard from, holds the honor Of being
the first white boy born in the State of
Nevada.

Mr.. D. Wiley, ex-postmaster, Black

rheumatism that he was only able to
hobble around with canes, and even then
it caused him great pain. After using
Chanberlain's Pain Balm he was SO
much improved that he threw away his
canes. He says this liniment did him
more good than all other medicines and
treatment put together. For sale at SO

it late this spring, and now it turns out
