BROTHER CAKE in his fusillade fires
this shot at TIE LEDGER's poor little
Editor:
HE further asks: II free silver is
good for the country, why not free paper
money! This is fools question: and
will turn fool long enough to answer
It."
Now, we will not deny the right Of
Brother CAKE to label himself fool II
be chooses to do 80; that is a matter Of
his own choice.
But "fOOl's question" or fools
answer" THE LEDGER repeats-"If free
silver Is good for the country, why not
free paper2"
II the mine owner may without limit
take his product to the Mat and have
lie stamped upon 1t by the Government,
Why should not the owner of a paper
mill be privileged to take the output Of
his FOudriniers to the Bureau Of En-
craving and Printing and have the
same lie impressed upon 1t In green and
black and carmIns9
The free sIlYerOOns would make one
believe that the present silver money Of
the Government is not money; when the
fast Is that the silver dollars Of today
are legal tender good as gOId--fOr
any amount and for all purposes.

WE'RE FOR AMERlCAsAMERICANS!

OUR good Brother CAKE literally
rends his shirt because The LEDGER is
opposed to every silver mine-0wner TAX
ing his product to the Government Mint
and having lie stamped on it--that he
shall deliver 50 cents worth Of bullion
to the Mint, in return for which the
Mint shall hand him back coin, made
from this same bullion, stamped 100
cents He would make you believe that
silver has actually been driven from the
money market, when 1t is fact that
there is today more silver coin in circu-
lation than ever before in the history of
the country, while there were in the
United States Treasury, April 9Oth,
1896
Silver Dollars ........ 1874, 1877, 554 90
Subsidiary silver coins. 15,459, O02 n
Silver bars ............. 100, 9S9, $50 10
Total silver ...... -. $51O, $50, 116 SO
Against this enormous sum in silver
there were only sl6s, 446,459 81 in gold
coin and gold bars, and $161, 775,O4S. 65
in paper, or s1sO,364,6O9 more in silver
than there is in gold and paper COM
bined
And this silver remains there-loeked
behind doors that dynamite wouldn't
blow Open-fOr the very good reasons
that the industries Of the country have
been strangled by the repeal Of the Nc
Kinley Tariff that there are tens Of
thousands OF American workingmen
without work; that an idle population
destroys an active demand for the pro-
ducts Of the farm; and for the addi-
tiOAal reasons that silver itself is
cumbersome means Of exchange; that
people do not like to carry it; and that
the Silver Senators Themselves refuse to
accept IL in payment Of their salaries!
Free Silver The LORD bless you,
Brother CAKE, 1t is so Stree" today that
it's drug in the market
But, with all that, every silver dollar
Is Just as good as a gold dollar, and that
Is where The LEDGER hopes to see 1t
remain.

Journey to Timbuctoo Via the Nisc E
Now Made, With Comparative
Ease.
NJ. Felix Dubois, who was sent to
Tlmbuctoo by the "Figaro." has re
turned to Paris, and publishes an in
teresting article in that Journal.
The traveller from Senegal to Tim
buctoo begins his journey by taking
the train from Dakar to st. Louis. To
proceed thence to the Soudan the trlv-
eler takes the steamer.
The voyage to Hayes, lasts about
eight days. From Hayes, the capital
OF the Soudan, the traveller again
takes the train and crosses o. country
which often reminds him Of the forest
OF Fontainebleau. At length he
reaches the Niger, where the traveller
barge propelled by oars.
Dienne is the commencement OF the
marvellous region Of lakes aud lux
urious prairies with imposing herds of
wild cattle At length the sandy
downs behind which the Timbuctoo is
sheltered appear.
Timbuctoo is the great city Of the
desert, the Queen Of the Sands, which
sweep UP against it's walls and invade
it's squares and streets. 1t has from
1000 to 5000 inhabitants. There is
not vestige Of a monumental build
iEg, nothing but big houses built OF
mud and straw or Wood.
The population consists Of negroes
with the blood of ill the races Of
Northern and Central Africa in their
veins. Such elements, which appear
modest and at first disconcert the
visitor, 10 not prevent the commerce
Of the city amounting to millions Of
francs a year-London Standard.
