SHIFTING GOLD.

That the artificial and enforced value
placed upon gold by making gold coin
the monetary standard Of a large por-
ton Of the commercial world is out of
all proportion to the cost of producingit
is well illustrated in the report recently
issued by w. F. Kendriclz, a mining
expert of Denver. The report says:
"Since the first of January the cost
of producing one dollar in gold from
the Independence mine is 4 cents; the
Victor mine for the past two years,
90 1-3 cents; the Portland mine for nine
months, including heavy development
work and new machinery. so cents; the
Bogart mine for the month Of March,
when they first encountered ore. 5
cents; the Isabella mine, for the year
1894, including the expense Of labor
troubles, doing development work and
new machinery. S14z cents. The cost
of producing gold in the Union, Elkton,
Moose, American Eagle, Little Johnnie.
Tom Boy and number of other mines
Of the state will average about with
those above given. Gold is produced
from our large gold mines at much
less cost on the dollar than silver from
any silver mine ever opened in Colo
rado.'
Can anybody believe that if the de-
mand for gold for coinage purposes
We're removed, that it's value would re-
main anywhere near where it is today
after reading the above figures? On
the theory Of the believers in intrinsic
value" gold is a very inferior material
from which to make money
The gold standard advocates have
another theory which is as fallacious
as the one regarding intrinsic value.
1t is that the value of gold is unchang-
ing. They say that the gold in a dol
lar is worth 100 cents everywhere and
has been SO for-weH, ever so long. The
fact is that there is scarcely any sub
stance the value of which fluctuates to
the extent that the value Of gold does.
It's value remains firm when measured
by itself, just like anything else does
A bushel OF wheat measured by
a bushel of wheat is always of the
same value, but when measured by
other things, money for instance, il
fuctuates. So gold measured by other
things huctuates and its value thus
measured has been increasing steadily
for 20 years, though the gold dollar has
continued to be worth 100 cents.
Silver has been the stable metal as
compared with almost everything ex~
cept gold. An ounce of silver Will buy
about the same of commodities through
out the world that it would 20 years
ago, excepting gold. 1t will buy about
half the amount of gold. Gold has
doubled in value.

TIT FOR TAT,

A number of New York newspapers
appear to be very indignant over the
fact that Mrs. Lease in her Cooper I'm
ion speech saw fit to apply uncompli-
mentary language and even epithets
to some of Gotham's most prominent
citizens. 1t is true that Mrs. Lease has
not evinced the spirit of the meek and
IowIy Nazarene to any marked degree
in dealing with the New Workers. Hav-
ing been struck upon one cheek she has
not in this particular instance felt
called upon to present the other one to
her enemy.
Having seen the people of the west
herself included made the objects of all
the abuse and opprobious epithets
which the New York daily press could
command, she rather chose to resent it,
and in the language of the wild and
woody western ''anarchist'' give it
right back to them
Whatever may be thought of this
fighting woman from Kansas person
ally or politically, she is entitled to
take the bold stand she took in what

The New Workers. idea of the west is
plainly that it is of no consequence ex-
cept as a place to get money out of.
Their sensibilities are greatly outraged
that the people who have been their
patient servants for so many years
should now rebel and assume to have
ideas and to express them.
AS long as the people of the west
would without complaint yield up the
bulk of their earnings to the class rep
resented by the individuals whom Mrs.
Lease mentioned by name. little atten-
ton was given to them or what they
said or thought. AS soon, however, as
a protest was made, these same west
ern people became suddenly anarchists.

else that is usually considered intmical

nation.

MELODY'S FL0ODGATES.
How Great Presidential Cam
paigns Open Them.
TEE SONGS or PARTISANSHIP.

Some are Good Natured and Others
are Bitter-sampIe Bits of Har-
mony Running From Washing
ton to Mckinley and Bryan.
So far as is known, nobody has ever
been sung into the White House. Sew.
eral candidates have been borne toward
it more or less on the crest of the wave
Of melody, and this was notably so in
the campaign of 1S40-the hard cider
and log cabin campaign. Hard cider
was supposed to be the favorite tipple Of
General William Henry Harrison. The
great popular song was ''Tippecanoe
and Tyler Too - It was sung to the
tune of 1.-THE Little Pigs Tail, " and a
man named A. C. Ross of GAINESVILLE
composed the words. The refrain of an
other song was:
Wen beat the Dutch.
Eurrah for Tyleri
Wen beat the Dutch
Or bust our biler.
Harrison was elected, but as his op-
ponents had rather q wider variety and
quite as inspiring songs it proves moth
ing.
But probably the most earnest and
desperate attempt to sweep a man into
the presidential chair was made by the
friends of that brilliant Kentuckian and
uncompromising Wing, Henry Clay.
The songs in his praise during the ex-
citing campaign of 1874 would fill a
good sized hook, for it was largely run
on the minstrel plan. Clay was crushed,
however, by Polk. and campaign melody
as well as the Wing party received q
serious setback. Thus it appears that

CAMPAIGN OF BARBECUES.
Virginia Democratic Will Ask Farm
ers for Contributions

Richmond. Va, Aug. 19.-The Demo-
Gratis are troubled about how to raise
money with which to conduct the
pending presidential campaign. The
sources upon which that party has al
ways heretofore relied for contribu-
tions are now all antagonistic to the
Chicago nominees.
The chairman Of the state committee
is thinking Of calling upon the free sill
yer farmers in Virginia to contribute
sheep, oXxen, and other country produce
to be used for the barbecues to take
place all over this state. This is to be
a campaign of education, but the men
tai pabulum is to be aided by the more
practical and toOthsome Viands found
ia a Virginia barbecue. Hundreds Of
these are to be given in all portions of
the Old Dominion.

CHORUS.
We're bound to work all night;
We're bound to work all day.
III bet my money on the ''LincoIn boss. ;"
Who bets on Stephen A.2
When Lincoln was reelected in 1864,
there were few genuine campaign songs,
the 'Battlecry of Freedom and eve
Are Coming, Father Abraham, - having
been made to do political service.
In 1868 there was a battle royal be-
tween Republicans and Democrats, and
it brought out several extremely bitter
ballads. There were the carpetbag-
ger songs, and songs scoring the bond
holders and army contractors, as ttUlys-
SEES, the Farmer, - ''Grant Boys In
Blue. - The Garfield and Hancock con
test of 1880 contained nothing musical
worthy of note. Tbs great struggle be-
tween the Plumea Knight and The
Sheriff of Erie in 1854 gave US parody
on the great German war song, ''Die
Wacht am Rhein,'' with some clever
verses entitled 'The Plumed Knight and
the Black Eagle General John A. Lo-
gam. One verse follows:
They comet They comeI The mighty twain,
Mid storm and sunshine, flowers and grain.
The ''Plumed Knight looks to the Skies
And onward the ''Black Eagle flies.
''The Man From Name was sung to
the air. 1.-THE Sword of Bunker Hill, -
but the most effective of the lot was
''Hurrah For Jimmy Blaine" set to

The Democrats went for their oppo-
nents with a song called Turn the Ras.

From present indications emotional
politics during the coming campaign now
prevailing will nearly or quite reach the
high water mark Of 1860 and musical
eloquence equal that of the contest in

THE CAGE FELL FAR.
Two Men Killed in the Anaconda
Mine.

Butte, Mont, Aug. 19.-Pete Ryan,
foreman of the st. Lawrence mine, the
property Of the Anaconda company, and
Jack Campbell and John Manning, two
miners were killed about $40 o'clock
last evening by a fall of the cage from
the top of the mine to the bottom OF
the shaft at the !, 200 foot level
The miners were working at the bot
tom beneath the bulk-head at the LOO
foot level deepening the shaft, when the
cage containing Ryan fell from the top,
instantly crushing the life out of two
men below, also killing Ryan. who was
in the cage.
Ryan had just come to the top and
was about to step out of the cage, when
the brake refused to work and the cage
started down the shaft with fearful
velocity. The engines on top tried to
throw on the clutch, but could not. The
saftey also refused to work, and the
engineer and brakeman jumped out of
the window in time to avoid the crash
of iron and wood as the reel broke to
pieces and tons of iron and wood
was shot through the roof and walls.

eulogistic of Mrs. Fremont
In the campaign of 1860, which re-
suited in the election of Lincoln, special
use was made of music. Indeed, since
''Tippecanoe and Tyler Too no cleo
ton had produced so many songs. The
Quadruple character of the contest, in
Guiding, as it did, two Democratic tick
ets-Douglas (regular) and Breckenridge
secession with Bell and Everett on
neutral ground, no doubt contributed to
that result, and the tremendous issue
stirred the patriotic impulses of every
one according to his knowledge and
prejudices.
Bell and Everett had two songs,
neither of which gained popular favor.
The Breckenridge wing of the Demo-
cratic party had one song to the tune Of
''Auld Lang Syne, - while the Douglas
shoUters aroused enthusiasm singing the
song Douglas and His Men, to the air
''Dinna Ye Hear the SIogan?'' The other
song used by them was entitled Lin
coins Picture'' and was intended to be
funny.

most generally sung was entitled 1.-THE

laymen that formed the trial court.
Mrs. Tunnel has gone before the mem

rOborated all that Miss Overman con
feSsed. The members of the council
could listen to the startling story, but
as council they could do nothing. Miss
Overman's confession was placed in the
custody of the secretary of the Bay
conference. A request asking the Bay
conference to take action IN the mat

SPARROWS LIKE MUSIC.
An Incident at Asbury Park Shows
That They Do.

Asbury Park, Aug. ia pretty sight
might have been seen yesterday and
today on the front porch of one of the
many cottage boarding houses with
which the park abounds. A young man
who is quite an expert musician, was
seated on the stoop playing on his ban
10, when a little English sparrow that
had been fitting about the pavement
stopped a moment as if attracted by
the sound. Turning its little head from
side to side the bird drew nearer and
nearer to the stoop, finally perching on
the step at the young mans feet look
ing up into his face with it's tiny brown
throat swelling as if in an ecstacy of
delight at the music
This afternoon when the young man
appeared with his banjo not only one
but half a dozen sparrOws were on hand
to listen to the music, the little fellow
of yesterday evidently having spread
the news of his playing and brought
his friends along to enjoy it with him.
