SIXTEEN TO WHAT HT
MEANS.

It means that there is sixteen
Htimesas much weight of silver in a
silver dollar as there is Of gold in a
gold dollar, or sixteen pounds, troy
weight, Of silver is equal to one
pound, troy, of gold. for the purpos
,es of coinage. This is according to
Benton's law of 1887 which Jackson
signed.
There are many reasons for ad-
herring to this ratio. There is in
the world about 153 to Is times as
much weight of silver as there is Of
gold. This is the result of mining
in all the ages, and it seems to be a
natural ratio. But this is the most
important consideration in the IN
tied States. By the act of June IA
1870, under which the bonded debt
of the United States was funded,
that debt was made payable in coin
of the then standard value which
consisted of gold dollars containing
258 10 grains of standard gold or
silver dollars containing 4123 grains
Of standard oliver, and this contract
is printed upon every bond issued
by the United States. If any yari
alton was made in the ratio the
bondholders would complain Of
breach of contract, whatever they
may say now, and in the resumption
of specie payments the law author
lied the redemption of the green
backs in coin and also authorized
the use of the revenue of the gov
eminent for that purpose, and in
the case the revenue were inanffic-
lent it authorized the sale Of United
States bonds which were payable in
either standard silver or standard
gold dollars. 1t will be seen that
change of the ratio would be taken
advantage of by our goldbug friends
to raise the cry of Reputation. We
do not want to discuss that question.
We are satisfied with the standard
ratio established by Jackson, and
according to which onr contracts
are already made.-SilVer Knight

FOR yOur Protection. Catarrh "Cures" or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are inJur-
ious if toolong taken. CatarTh is local, not
a blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive How OF
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, 60 cents.

The Republican platform con-
tains some platitudes about women,
but it should not be forgotten that
the Republican silk manufacturers
of Massachusetts pay their women
employees only So a week, and the
poor creatures have only ten cents
left after paying their board, while
the manufacturers were under the
Mckinley bill, protected 603 per
cent Recently a minister of the
Gospel preached from his pulpit in
lowell, Mass, that out of $4,000
single women in that city, 1000 of
them were of immoral character,
and he charged this sad state of af-
fairs to the meagre wages paid them,
and said they were forced into i'm
morality to get food and clothing.
Bear this in mind when the Repub-
!ican party dares to assert that it
is the friend Of womankind.

it would favor free coinage by in

words, the Republicans are willing
to use dishonest dollars whenever
Rothschilds and Johnny Ball say
they can. Great statesmen, these

THE committee in charge of the
celebration of the Fourth Of July at
Columbus, Ohio, had arranged for
100 miners from the valley to march
in the parade in their mining out
fits and with their lamps in their
hats, but President Penna, of the
United Mine Workers of America,
advised that they onght not to
do. it. He said that by doing SO
they would proclaim themselves
benefciaries of the Declaration OF
Independence, whereas they are
mere serfs, and would in that way
act lie.

Mckinney says that his policy
will ''give every man full dollar
for a full days work" A full dol
lar is a dollar, no more, no less. A
full days work is from sunrise to

one dollar, then they had better
vote for Mckinley.

sisting upon a stricter regard for neutral
ity and the principles of international law
than the United States has manifested.
even while considering the Cubans as SIM
pie rebels against a friendly power.
Second-SeHding memorandum 10 for
eign governments. especially European
powers. setting forth that Spain is defend
ing common cause of European nations !
defending theirs well as her own right
over colonies against American interfer-
ence and the pretensions of the Monroe
doctrine.
Third-Claiming. on the eve of general
election. that the policy of the Canovas
cabinet has been vindicatei. and thus cast
ing the onus of a conflict on the United
States, as Senor Canovas. since March.
ess5, has done everything In his power to

tween Spain and the United States.

Violent and Abusive Debate in the
Reichstag.

Berlin. March 2s.-rn the reichstag to-
cay a question was asked regarding fac
publication without authority on January
last BY the vorwaerts of the amnesty
decree The minister OF war. Gen Bron-
sast Won Scheilsndorf replied that So
cislist wcrkraen had teen induced to steal
II by their Socialist tenets. and therefore
Socialism connsved at theft. The general
proceeded 10 deliver an Indictment against
the principles of the Socialists. and cited
a number OF cases in support OF his as
sertions He declared. for instance. that
Herr Bebel, the Socialist leader. had fire.
Gaentiy allowed men 20 tell him Hes, and
then come TO the reichsiag as the month
piece Of gross untruths. His tBebel'si as
sertions OF arbitrary conduct and injustice
In the army. said the general. were un-
founded. The army. he insisted. was above
these charges and attacks.
Herr Liehknecht replied that the alb
straction OF the decree was a harmless
act
The minister for war pointed out that
the publication in the middle class press
OF drafts of bills which could only be OBJ
tained by a breach of confidence was In
every way reprehensible.
During the course OF the stormy debate
on the subject which followed. the presi-
dent of the reichstag, Baron Won Boul-
Bernenberg. frequently called Herr Bebel
TO order for violent language. The latter
asserted that the court which sentenced
the publishers OF the amnesty decree was
biased. and he accused the Conservatives
OF suppres<ing rasc cality. Baron Won
Hammerstein and several Conservatives
followed They charged Herr Bebei with
mixing truth with lies and then exaggerst-
ing the result The debate was adjourned
