Gov. Morton 6, Allison and the titles

long lead, it is cont tended by Reeds

looks, as ont of 63 20 are from his own

United States in case of war.
1T was rumored at Washington on

A lawsuit in Allenville over chattels

old couple living there had provided
themselves with collins; that the old

IL 1T PLAGIARISM.

Mr.. William Jennings Bryan, the
accidental nominee of several conven-
tions is having considerable trouble
over his crown OF thorns and cross of
gold. His halo fitted nicely at the
Chicago convention, and he had it on
straight, but it seems the rude blasts
OF the campaign orator has set it some
what awry, and it now looks as If he
borrowed the crown ana cross for the
occasion. 1t appears that Mr.. Samuel
Walker Mccall, a staunch Republican
OF Massachusetts, on January rs, 1894,
spoke in congress in reference to the
Wilson bill as follows.
DO you regard your bill with reference TO
laborf Ready as you have ever been To betray
IL with kiss, you scourge IL To the very quick
and press a crown OF thorns upon its brow.
You shall not cruelty mankind on a cross OF
gold.
Mr.. Bryan heard that speech and in
the convention at Chicago spoke as
follows:
Having behind us the commercial interests
and the laboring interests and all the toiling
masses we shall answer their demands for a
gold standard by saying TO them: You shall
not press down upon the brow OF labor this
crown OF thorns You shall not cruelty man
kind upon a cross OF gold.
Those who read the above two selec-
tions can decide who is the author OF
the sentiment of the crown and cross
and who is the plagiarist.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen
orally needed in the spring, when the
languid exhausted feeling prevails.
when the liver is torpid and sluggish
and the need OF tonic and Alternative
Is felt. A prompt use OF this medicine
has often averted long and perhaps
fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will
act more surely In counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, indigestion, con-

Bitters. Fifty cents and 81 90 per bot

If you have mountain OF silver and
gold, congress will say how much or
how little shall be coined monthly or
yearly, legislation will control its use,
but not its value, that must depend on
the law of cause and effect or demand
and supply, which is one and the same
thing. Arbitrary laws can limit the
amount to be coined, but is powerless
to enhance or depreciate the value
thereof in the marts OF the world. IL
law is omnipUtent as the silver men
advocate, why not legislate that the
ratio shall be Ii to |, o. j 10 | and that
ends the fight, but the history of the
business world shows beyond power of
contradiction that when the coinage
laws fix a ratio which differs from the
actual ratio Us shown by the markets
of the world. such coins never circulate
side by side in country which has
thus provided for bimetalism. The
poorer always drives out the better,
and the cheaper actually becomes the
standard money by which all cOmmod-
tiles are valued. aud ends in monomet-
alism instead OF bimetalism. If con-
gress can devise some method to make
the uncoined silver worth as much as
the coined, then the financial problem
will be solved, and not until then.

Here is a proposition made to farm
ers by which they can realize u dollar
a bushel for wheat if they are willing
to take their chances on the free silver
experiment proposed by the Demo-
cratic, Populist and Free Silver parties.
The Buchanan Milling Company will
pay to every farmer who sells wheat in
lots of 800 bushels or over. one Mexican
dollar for each bushel. The manager
explains that they would be glad to
take small lots of wheat on the same
basis, were it not for the expense and
trouble of shipping in Mexican dollars
in small amounts II wheat holders
will cluo together and sell in lots Of
1000 bushels to them, they will make
the seller present of two American
dollars for each | 200 bushels delivered
TO them. The Mexican dollar contains
more silver than our American dollar,
and for the farmer TO realize 81 per
bushel for his wheat, all that is neces-
sary for him to do is TO store the Mex
lean dollars until free silver wins, and
then get them coined by the govern
ment. The offer is made in good faith
and is being taken up by many farmers
in Berrien county.

Here are five pertinent points for
people to digest before voting for free
silver coinage at the ratio of Is to ] in
November:
| There is not a free silver coinage
country that is not on silver basis
2 There is not a gold standard coun-
try that does not use silver along with
gold.
3 There is not a silver standard
country upon the face of the globe that
has gold coin in circulation.
There is not a silver standard
country that has as much money in
circulation as the United States.
There is not single silver stand
ard country where the laboring man
receives fair wages for his days work.

In his speeches, during his two terms
in congress VIM. j. Bryan has placed
himself on record time and again, as
being the champion OF a tariff levied
for revenue only. He is not in favor
even of incidental protection. In his
speech on the Wilson bill he said that
a tariff Of 10 per cent levied purposely
for protection was just as indefensible
as tariff of one thousand per cent. In
other speeches he said he was in favor
of free wool, free iron and free coal.
If this shows anything it shows that
Mr.. Bryan favors the manufactures at
the expense of the farmers. Will our
farmers vote for such candidate.

IL is foolishness for any man to say
that he cannot afford To take a local

the rule Of paying for il in advance,
and you will be surprised to find how
easy IL is. 1t is only when the account
is allowed to run year after year that
IL becomes burden and difficult to
pay. When you stop to think that the
average country paper costs less than
two cents week, you will have to
acknowledge that the man is mighty

which people fall into the trap that

mine owners, and by which the silver
kings propose to own the metal coin

SHOWING IN THE PRIMROSE.
A Good Body OF Ore UncOvered-sink
ing in the Pyrites.

Hon. Glen Miller, who took an outing
into Tintic mining district last Sunday,
returned home the same evening highly
elated over the showing made in the
Primrose mine, near Silver City.
The Primrose is an old-time producer,
and adjoins the old Silver King mine,
and the Evening Star, the latter being
a. productive property owned by H. w.
Lawrence, Charlie Stanton and John
Rodgers.
In it's early days the Primrose pro-
duced several hundred thousands at
the grass roots, and, like the old Swan
sea, it Is honeycombed with tunnels
and drifts near the surface, work be-
ing discontinued when the pyritic for
nation was encountered.
Since the Incorporation Of the Prim-
rose company a. short time ago, how
ever an attempt has been made to get
below the pyrites, and at depth of
175 or $50 feet body of ore was en-
countered, the vein dipping at an angle
Of about so degrees. When first struck
this ledge, which is three feet in width,
assayed &c per cent iron, 2.S per cent
lead, IL per cent copper, 2712 ounces
silver and SIC in gold to the ton, and
the values increased on the footwail
Sinking was resumed after going
through lHG rouge, TIE lHlSullOu DeluS
to go fifty feet farther and then cross
cut for the ore, at which depth it is
believed that the working will get be-
low the layer of pyrites, where It is
expected that the ore bodies will grow
larger and carry better values.
Work in the development of the mine
has been suspended temporarily, how
ever, as the company has decided to
put in a gasoline hoist, and where this
is in place a larger force will be put
on and the property developed in a
systematic and most Thorough manner,
and it is believed that by spring the
Primrose will find a place on the list as
regular and heavy shipper.
The late assessment Of l cent a
share levied on the capital stock of the
company has all been paid in, and now
there is sufficient funds in the treasury
to pay for the new hoist and contem-
plated developments.
