FREE COINAGE PLAINLY STATED.
1t Would Retire Gold and Paper Money
from Circulation.

from Circulation.
1t is important to remember that fl ee
coinage means the right of every owner
of bullion to present the same to the
mints OF the United States and have 1t
coined without charge into money.
Under the free coinage of silver, The
owner of 31714 grains of pure silver
would be permitted to turn it over 10
the United States mint and have it
coined without charge or receive there
for one silver dollar. More than this,
under free and unlimited coinage, this
might he extended 10 the whole world,
and the amount Of silver coinage would
be limited only by the capacity of our
mints and the output of the silver
mines.
If l have made myself understood as
to the meaning of free coinage and "ihe
ratio" we are now prepared to discuss
Understandings the Feasibility of open
ing the mints of the United States to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver by
this country alone at the ratio of 16 to /.
For myself after the most mature de-
liberation, have been unable to reach
any other conclusion than that such a
step would be attended with the most
serious consequences to the country and
involve all our people in d common dis
aster.
In the first place, the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at 16 to 1 would,
in my Judgment, expel from our circu-
lation not only our entire volume of
gold, but every dollar of paper money
redeemable in gold, and cause contrac
tion of the currency and u resultant
panic the like of which has not been
seen in this OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES J. C.

The nfonstrous Wrong.

"The monstrous wrong" for which
Gov. Boies arraigns the republicans is,
the Philadelphia Telegraph says, "the
wrong of giving the poor man the best
money in the world and assuring him
that what little property he may pos
sess or may acquire shall not be put in
jeopardy by the uncertainties of shift
ing and questionable currency; The
wrong Of insisting that the dollar paid
to the wage Garner shall be worth 100
cents and shall not be cut down to 50
cents"

WE were shown few days ago a
letter from the late Caleb Emerson to
his brother, Timothy written in June,
1910. There is one paragraph in the
letter which is interesting at this day
in that it shows what a poor little
town ours was in those days in COM
parison with the condition of affairs at
the present time in our growing pros
porous city.
The paragraph is as follows:
Business here partakes of general
stagnation. There is not much done
at building. The public works give
some activity. A cut across the COM
mon in front of DR.. Cotton's (where
now stands the st. James HoteD en-
ploys many teams, and gives some
appearance of activity. The const:uc-
tion of two bridges across Duck Creek
and one across Little Muskingum
brings more wagons to town than
formerly There are two points in
which Marietta fails in the appearance
of liveliness-one resulting from the
wide dispersion of its dwellings, anoth-
er from the scarcity of teams in it's
streets; arising partly from much of its
business being done by water, but
more from its being confined to cor
ner by the streams"

HARvEY'S "SCIENTIFIC" MONEY.
System That Would Deprive Farmers
OF Credit.

A System That Would Deprive Farmers
of Credit.
''Out of the wisdom of man came the
use of two metals for use as money,
these metals to be coined into money at
a ratio in weight of sixteen to one,
or in the ratio provided from time to
time. The option was given by law for
the people to use money made from
either metal, either redeemable in the
ether, but each of itself money. Theop-
ton was with the debtor, the person
getting the money in motion. The debit
or Thus controlled the demand, and as
demand gives value, the supply being
limited, this option to the debtor shift
ed the demand from gold to silver or
silver to gold, as each increased or de-
creased in quantity. The debtor used
the one most accessible; so if silver be-
came cheaper, the demand was shifted
to it, and this brought it back to par
ity with gold, and vice versa"
How ridiculous! The idea that we can
have a scientific or just system of money
which gives debtors the option of pay
ing in two or more metals at fixed ra-
tios! The chief work of money is to
facilitate exchanges. Who prefers to
make contracts in uncertain terms !?
What merchant would care to give
farmers credit and give them the option
of paying in wheat at 60 cents, corn at
AZ cents, oats at 20 cents or potatoes at
10 cents per bushel? And who but the
farmers themselves would pay for the
risks and uncertainties if a merchant
were compelled by law to give credit
only in this way?

Free Coinage Castles in the Air.

The cheap money devil tempts the
farmers with promises of prosperity.
but the men he deludes will find that
he leads them only to ruin and pow
erty. Now, as in the past, the tempter
finds willing dupes who will learn,
when it is too late, that free silver pros
perity is only mirage.

the boy orator of the Platte, and the

cause of Democracy's forlorn hope.
His nomination was nude as dramatic
and impressive spectacle as possible,
and when the stampede of delegates to
Nebraska's favorite son commenced the
scene was thrilling one. Mr.. Bryan
is more noted for his fervid style of or
atory than his craftsmanship, but his
free silver principles are as rock ribbed
as the hills. AS free silver was in the
ascendency all the convention he will
no doubt prove highly satisfactory tc
what will be left of the Democracy
after the gold men haye withdrawn.
The best thing that can be said in his
favor is that he wasn't the fayorite OF
Anarchist Altgeld, and his success is
highly displeasing to the Illinois dicta.

on a platform filed with revolutionary

BRYAN. the hero of the day, is only
36 years of age, and has not outgrown
the sobriquet of the hoy orator of the
Platte" Until lately his candidacy
for the presidency was considered by
politicians generally as joke. But,
strangely enough, among those who
have believed that he was the coming
man was c. G. Dawes, of Evanston. the
manager of the Mckinley campaign in
Illinois, who is about to be made the
Illinois member of the repu blican
national executive committee Mr.
Dawes and Mr. Bryan, when youngsters
were members of the same debating
society in Lincoln, Neb., and were
nearly always pitted against each other
in political debates. Dawes taking the
republican and Bryan the democratic
side. They are wider than ever apart
in politics, but Dawes has believed for
some time that Bryan was the coming
man in the democratic party, and so
expressed himself to Major Mckinley.
The latter, by the way, has never had
any particular choice as between the
several aspirants for the democratic
nomination, believing them all equally
easy to defeat on campaign deyoid of
personalities and confined to the tariff
and currency questions Major Handy

THE POLITICIAN.

Well, the Democratic mountain, after
much labor, has brought forth Two
very diminutiye mice, in the shape OF a
ticket and platform. And such a ticket
and such platforml There have been
crazy quilt political platforms adopted
before, but it is no cxaggeration to say
that the platform adopted at Chicago
is the very worst specimen OF its kind.
1t bids for every kind and class OF dis
Cruntled voters, and does it very clum-
silly at that. The free coinage of silver
is, of course, it's cornerstone.

People in Washington who know
Gen. Bradley T. Johnson, who is now
in Cuba as a newspaper correspondent
were not surprised when the telegraph
ic news was received that there was a
probability Of Johnson fighting duel
with a hot-headed ex-Spanish officer.
In fact, they wouldn't be surprised at
any sort of trouble that johnson might
get into. He is one of those men who
have knack for getting into trouble
and for making trouble. johnson is a
lawyer, but his real occupation has
been that of a stormy petrol of Demo
cratic politics. He made his headquar-
ters in Richmond, Va, for some years
after the war, but things became SC
unpleasant for him there that he moved
to Baltimore where he has participated
in numerous political scrapping match
es. 1t is probable that it was lack OF
money that sent him to Cuba as news
paper correspondent, his acquaintance
with Fitz Lee making it easy for him
to secure that job. Many hard things
have been said of Johnson and doubt
less most of them were deserved. but il
that Spaniard doesn't wish to fight he
would better let Bradley alone, for his
worst enemy has never denied him the
possession of personal courage s.

The ticket named to run on this plat
form is in keeping with the nature of
the platform itself, and with the an
archist-populistic tendencies of the
controlling element in the convention.

and platform, which are just about
what they would have made them had
they been given the task OF thus add

NEW MINING LOCATIONS.
The ProspectOr Getting in His Work
in the Hot Springs District.

IN the Hot springs district.
Since The Herald has called attention
to the mineral indications in the hills
east and north of this city. considerable
interest has been awakened in this di-
recton, and now every day small squads
of prospectors can be seen diligently ex-
aiming the ground up Parley's canyon,
in Emigration, Dry canyon and City
Creek. and from the fact that they even
tually find their way to the Office of the
recorder of Hot Springs mining district,
with number of location notices for
| record. the indications are that they
have in a measure been successful in
their search for mineral bearing rock.
1t is a fact that thinking people are
now coming to the conclusion that min
eral is where you find it, and not where
theorists think it should be, and conse-
Quenty paying mines are found in lC-
calitieS which mining men have for years
DroSDectors have made well-worn trails,
the tenderfoot is now looking for gold
and they will find it, too, for the latest
producing mines are testimonials of the
blind luck of the greenhorn, who, with
hay-seed in his hair and a look of hope
upon his brow. has betaken himself to
the hills in search of gold, when he did
not know the difference between a piece
Of high-grade ore and country rock.
Then. again, the discovery of the Mer-
cur ores and the cheap process for its
treatment has caused a more careful
investigation of the formation in various
| localities. with the result of the discov-
cry of ore that in many instances is
very similar to the Mercur product; and
as this is almost of daily occurrence all
over the country, and the ore zone
seems to be stretching out mile after
! mile, it begins to look as if there was
to be no limit to the wealth of Utah's
mineral resources.
Among the locations filed for record

The talk regarding the consolidation
of the two electric light companies
continued yesterday, as it has for some
time past, but all that the statements
of the officials show is that an agree
nent has been reached to restore rates
10 the old basis. Some further facts
viii develop later.
Mr.. Condict, of the Salt Lake Gas
and Electric Light company. was call
ed upon by Herald representatives
but denied positively that there was
any truth in the rumors Of the actual
consolidation having been effected or
even contemplated.
THE two companies, however" he
said, have come to an agreement on
rates. Both concerns have been selling
their commodities at a loss of from SO
to IS per cent. and the owners have
come to the conclusion that such bust
ness is not warranted, and SO they have
made an equitable and fair rate.
salt Lake City is lighted at from 20
to 80 Der cent. less than Denver,
Omaha, Chicago, st. Paul, st. Louis,
Boston ana dozens Of other New Eng
land cities We DO not suppose for one
something for nothing or that they are
unwilling to pay reasonable rate for
lighting especially when taking into
consideration that the expenses of pro-
ducing the lights are greater in Salt
Lake than in any of the above cities
alluded to.
Our company has spent hundreds Of
thousands of dollars to bring gas into
the city without realizing anything on
the investment, but the company hope
to be able to increase the consumption
and thus be able TO decrease the cost
to the consumer. The company would
be perfectly satisfied to receive a rea-
sonable interest on the amount it has
invested in Salt Lake city and Ogden
The aggregate expenditures up to the
present time including extended i'm
provements during TIE past year ap-
proximates s., 0OO 600, and the company
calculates to spend from one to two
hundred thousand dollars in improve
1aents each and every year. 1 think,
and nearly all will agree that the
amount our company has expended has
been of incalculable benefit to both
Salt Lake and Ogden"
When questioned as to the new rate
to be established Mr.. Condict said it
would be practically a return to the
old rate and that as business increases
the rates would be continually reduced
consistent with the cost of production
