Could Nor Make Tibet.

Mr.. Wilson relates an amusing story
Of an officer who determined to enter
Chinese Tibet by stratagem. This OFF,
Ger managed to cross the frontier at
night, and SO escaped the frontier guard.
Next day, however, while he was jour-
neying deeper into Tibet the Tibetan
soldiers overlook him and informed him
that as the country was unsafe, because
of robbers, they would 60 with him in
order to protect him, to which arrange
ment the traveller was compelled to
agree. In few hours they came to a
river, which was crossed by a rope
bridge. The Tibetans passed over first,
in order to show that the bridge was
safe, and then the officer got into the
basket and was pulled along by the lib
etans. Suddenly, however, they ceased
pulling and left the Englishman hang
ing in midair above the rushing torrent.
In vain the traveller shouted to the
Tibetans to pull. They merely smoked
and nodded their heads. The hours pass
cd, and still the officer hung above the
torrent. At last the Tibetans agreed to
pull him back if he would promise to
leave Tibet Immediately. This Of
course he Was compelled to do aud took
his departure from the forbidden land

am glad to see it, and hope you will succeed
in getting every old soldiers vote for the
Major, whose speeches are full of patriotism
and loyalty, advocating principles which
will bring return of prosperity and sound
National credit. Not so with the advocates
OF Free Silver.
Bryan, in speech at Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
is reported as saying: 5n
They say Free Silver will make this the
dumping-ground of the world. / have Eve
acres of ground near Lincoln, Neb. / have
figured that it will hold all the silver In the
world, and am going 10 offer it as Dump
iDg-plaee for all the worlds silver; and if
can't make more out of it By that than I
have raising corn, / will try and give it
away"
A good puff for the productiveness of his
own State Wonder if he expects this to
catch the vote of the Nebraska farmer?
Having forced myself to read many OF
Bryan's speeches, find all of them filed
with trash, that has no more argument in it
than the above.
Many of his advocates are expressing
sentiments which must be charged to Bryan.
For instance, Senator Pettigrew, who bolted
the ST. Louis Convention (now out FOR
Bryan, in a speech at Custer City, S. d.,
10 days ago, said:
ANY man who works for Bryan's election
for 80 days will be doing his country q
greater service than a man who carried
musket for four years."
What can the old soldiers think of such
expressions of ingratitude? 1t does not
show much appreciation for their four years
service.
All Bryan's advocates seem to have
mania for likening him unto Lincoln. Grant,
Garfield, Blaine, and other great men, who
are in their graves and cannot defend them
selves. I have always been taught to speak
we'll of the dead.
My idea would be to liken him unto
Altgeld, of Illinois, Waite, of Colorado, or
Others of that stripe; men of leisure, with
a tendency to run at the mouth, who can
come forward in their own defense, if they
have any.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 4. Silver
has always been measured by gold.
2. Our forefathers of the Constitution,
after careful investigation, found that one
ounce of gold would purchase Is ounces of
silver.
3. They fixed this ratio, Is TO /, by law.
4. As this ratio was controlled By supply
and demand, it remained true but \ short
time.
5. Although Congress had it printed in
the statutes, as soon as people in business
found that one ounce of gold was worth
more than 10 ounces of silver, either in
bullion or coin, they ignored the legal ratio
and used only the commercial ratio.
s. Gold, then being at q premium, went
off on a vacation, and never came back until
1884. During this time the country bad
silver recommendation.
Z. Congress then, to get gold back changed
the ratio to is to i. But the business peo-
pie said this was not the true ratio; that
they would not exchange Is ounces of silver
for one ounce of gold.
9. The silver dollar, being thus up1er-
valued at the mint, soon retired from husi-
ness, and never came into circulation again
until after the Congress of 1873 had reduced
its weight and limited its coinage 10 Gov
eminent account.
o. This was called the demonstration
of silver
10. In 1853, Congress, 30 relieve the public
distress caused by the disappearance of all
silver change, limited the coinage and weight
of all the fractional currency. This was tina
first decentralization. II gave the required
circulation.
IL. The coinage and weight of silver was
limited in 1873 to keep it at home and make
1t circulate at the same time with gold.
IL. The result was the first permanent
and complete concurrent circulation of gold
and silver since 1892.
Is. Up to 1860, the Government, from the
date of its existence, bad coined only about
100000 of silver dollars. In the 20 years
following 1873, the Government coined over
400,O00000 silver dollars.
ii. The effect of the demonstration was
to greatly increase both the coinage and use
of silver, while it did not decrease it's pur-
chasing or debt-payiBg power.
Is. None of the great Nations of the world
restricted the coinage of silver until after
Iong-continued but unsuccessful efforts to
sustain the parity of the two metals and
circulate them together.
Is. All these great acts of demonstration
were remedial, and for the protection Of
business from the disastrous results of the
alternate disappearance of one or the other
of the two coins.
II. All these acts were friendly TO silver,
as they increased both its coinage and circu-
lation.

REUNION PLEASURES.
Carrie Hallowell, Kidder, Mo-. writes to en-.
phasize all the privileges and pleasures enjoyed
by tho Loyal Home Workers Reunion week IN
ST. Paul and its environments. She says:
"Minnehaha Falls is one of the most ro-
mantle spots in the Northwest, Its siivery
waters dropping over a precipce of about 65
feet. beautiful rustic bridge spans the creek,
Minnehaha, the outlet of Lake Minnetonka.
"As we stood on the bridge and gszed upon
the laughing, silvery waters invountarily my
mind raised with yesrnng awe toward Him
who sitteth upon the throne controlling these
mighty waters
"How lovely is nature! thousand happy
sounds are in the air, thousand by the silvery
waters of Minnehaha!
after admiring the beauties of the dashing
waters and gathering few moss-covered peb-
bles, one of our number captured turtle as a
souvenir of Minnehaha Falls
Then we bid the laughing waters adieu,
and were about to leave. when the most pleas.
ant feature Of our trip occurred, the meeting
