upon the farmer mind, the truth,
the great truth, still remains that
the mind of the business man must origin
ate all the plans for the employment of
idle labor, and whether these industries
are little by little enlarged each year, en-
ploying more and more men, or whether
they are little by little narrowed each
year, employing less and less men, de-
ponds, not upon the judgment or the po
litical views of the men employed, but
upon the judgment of the men who en-
ploy- When the farmers in the country
and the laborers in the city suffer them
selves to be led into some great national
heves is dangerous, then this business
mlnd in order to protect the interests over
which it presides, begins the process of
narrowing its operations to suit the new
conditions.
A farmer may believe in free COMA ge
and laboring man may believe in free
coinage, but if the business mind of the
country on which both the farmer and
the laboring man is dependent is afraid of
free coinage, then the threat of free
coinage, instead of breathing new life in
to industry, strikes it with the PARALYSIS
of death
Every earnest thinking man in this
country at this time, whether he be a
farmer or laborer, above all things,
above all party or personal preferences.
desires TO see the industries of the nation
revived because labor can find employ
ment and farm produce find a market in
NO other way.
When all the arguments have been ex-
hausted on both sides, the whole ques-
ton narrows into this proposition, that
activity in industry is dependent upon
the confidence the business men have in
the financial and tariff policy of the ma
tonaI government. Farmers may have
confidence in some untried and catchy
proposition, and the laboring man may
have confidence and even be enthusias-
tic, but if the mind of the business man
hesitates then industry languishes. A
thousand laborins men may stand ready
to go to work in a factory. And the
farmers may stand ready to provide
these Iaboring men with food, but if the
MANAGERS of the factory are afraid to
start it, then it will not start 1t may
appear to these thousand laborers and
to these farmers that the managers of
the factory are unreasonable. and that
they have more power in the nation than
they ought to have, but the truth will
remain forever, that mind, and not ma
jorities. is the controlling force upon
which the industry of the nation depends
and that the judgment of one trained
business mind is worth more to a rom-
munity than the judgment of many men
who work with their muscles on the
farm and in the factory

Silver Dollars Are Legal Tender.

Many of the ''plain people" of the
United States have wondered what is
meant. when it is said that Congress in
1873 struck down one-half the money
in the country. The figure is forcibie
but somewhat obscure. The Denver
News comes to the rescue. 1t saws: ..Ry
the legislation of 1873 the mints were
not only closed to silver but the silver
money of the country was demonetized:
it was deprived of its legal tender quail
ty- Thus the silver money of the coun-
try was struck down.
The News is in error Section 81 of
the act of 1873 contained proviso that
this act shall not be construed to affect
any act done, right accrued, or penalty
incurred, under former acts, but every
such right is saved" This language
preserved the legal tender quality of the
silver dollar. since the right to pay ones
debts in silver dollars was one of the
rights accrued under former acts, which
nothing contained in the act was permit
ted to destroy.

Remember This.

When Bourke Cochran, in his recent
great speech in New York, uttered the
following sentence, he uttered a sentence
which should be posted over the door of
every honest laboring man, whether Re
publican or Democrat, in this country:
81 can take SO gold piece and defy all
the power of all the governments of this
earth to take 5 cents value from it.
1 can go to the uttermost ends of the
earth, and wherever 1 present it, its
value will be unquestioned, unchallenged.

w neither 300 or 5OOO men are employed
at the Burlington machines shops at Lin
years, depends not upon the political
judgment of the men who are employe ed
in these machine shops, but upon the
business judgment of those who must fur
nlsh money to pay for this labor. And
this business judgment. looking always to
the financial policy of the government for
signs of business safety or of business
danger, is inspired with confidence or is
inspired with fear as it interprets the
political conditions of the future. If this
business mind sees in the election of
Bryan and cheap money signs of future
stagnation and depression. then it is but
natural that if should keep the number of
men employed to the very least possible
limit. People who ride in the Burlington
trains along by the town of Havelock
near Lincoln where these machine shops
are located, can see the signs of business
that is in the mind of the directors of the
road, when they see the side tracks lined
with broken engines which the small
force OF men employed are not able to
repair. If the laboring people of the East
were at work today there would be a
market in these great centers of industry
IN the East for Nebraska's food product
would require every engine and every car
winch they own to be in repair and all
the wheels would be kept rolling night

MT. Bryan and his corps of free silver
orators constantly denounce idle capital.
MI Bryan knows that idle capital is al
ways the result of lack of confidence
He also knows that idle capital makes
idle men If one set of men have the
capital and another set of men who
are workers stand ready to be employed
by tins capital, then there must be a
condition of harmony between the people
who own the capital and the men who
stand ready to go to work or there will
be no work If plan is proposed which
stand ready by their votes and their ma
jorities to carry out this plan, then it is
but natural that the men who control
the capital, being afraid of his new plan,
will hoard their capital and keep it idle
rather than risk it under conditions
which they believe will be disastrous.
ing man that this capital is denounced
as the enemy of the country? Edison was
once laboring man, but is now a cap
italist- When he was a laboring man his
opinions and his plans were in certain
degree dependent upon the plans and the
opinions of some one else. When Edi-
structing machines, whether he was en-
ployed or not depended upon his en-
ployer. If the employer found by expert
ence that the work in which he was en-
gagged was Improbable to him. then Mr..
Edison lost his job. Now, Mr.. Edison
having evolved by his own exertions out
of condition where he was a worker
with his hands only, into a condition
where he has become a great mind force
which controls industry, is vastly more
important to labor than he was before
Then he could consent to the employment
of only one man, himself Now he can
consent to the employment of thousands
of men, and whether they are employed
not depends more upon his judgment
than upon their own. The industries of
the world, no matter who is employed in
them, have always been and always will
be under the control and direction of
mind. Majorities have nothing to do
with 1t except as the maJorities are in

someone asked, what about Mr. Sew
alp Donnelly replied, 81 know moth
ing of Mr.. Sewall and don't want any
thing to do with him. If 1 had my way
he would come off of that ticket in
twenty-four hours Mr.. Donnelly then
went into a bitter TRADE against all
bankers and business men in general,
and the laboring men who heard him
applauded his utterances- Now it must
have occurred to the more thoughtful of
these laboring men that every days work
and every dollar paid to labor must first
be thought out and planned by some
business mind Before labor can begin
in any industry there must be some
thought force and some business judg-
ment which passes upon the plans of
that industry and believes that it will
succeed. There must be financiers.
bankers and capitalists to consent and
their consent must be based upon the
faith that the industry will succeed. If
Mr.: Donnelly and Mr.. Bryan were CAPT.
talIsts and business men, then they
themselves might promise employment
to labor Or, if the plans proposed by
Mr.. Donnelly and Mr.. Bryan were re-
ceiving the endorsement of the business
judgment of others who have capital

Novelty for RicycIe Riders.

An electrician says he has found a
quicker way Of making a fortune than
running wires and selling batteries, and
judging from appearances he has good
reason for the statement He has erect
ed a platform 100 feet long and 10 feet
wide at the end of a cycle path. Down
this platform is ranged a series of push
buttons, which are connected through
battery to an electric bell. and an an
nunciator. The rider. having paid 10
cents. starts at one end and tries in rid.
ing down the line to depress as many of
the buttons as possible When a button
is struck the bell rings, and the annun-
GATOR registers the particular button.
The rider who is successful in guiding
his wheel tire over all the push buttons
wins 50 cents. This new diversion has
created an extraordinary furore. The
lucky inventor has organized a company
which will sell the platforms outright
and give territorial protection to pur-
cfasers during the life of the patent
AS a drawing card for owners of seaside

Ezra Meeker of this city received en-

inlet. He writes, under date of May 10,
that in a prospect hole started after
clearing away ten feet of snow hundreds
of colors and small pieces of coarse gold
were found. The indications were CON
sidered very favorable, as the shaft was
not down to bedrock. This undoubtedly
solves the problem of whether hundreds
of miners at Cooks inlet will find gold in
paying quantities.
Meeker tells of seeing washed from
two shovelsful of earth twelve chunks of
gold varying from a grain of wheat to
pea. Such dirt will pay well to work
even by hand. and during the summer
sluices can readily be worked. Better
results are expected when warmer

THE GREATEST GOLD FIELD.

Milwaukee Owners Get F1attering Re-
ports Regarding Saw Pit Mines.
The San Juan Gold Mining company
continues to receive the most fattering
reports as to the value of it's gold mines
at Saw Pit, the new Leadville. The
indications are that the Milwaukee COM
pany have secured some of the very best
mines in that marvellous district, which
is now regarded as the greatest gold field
in the entire world, excepting neither
Cripple Greek nor any other section of
Colorado.
In the interests of a number of promi-
nent Wisconsin men who have become
interested in the San Juan company, Jo-
seph Mackedon, miner with more than
a quarter of century of active expert
ence, the man who discovered and de-
veloped the Mollie Gibson and the best
gold mines of Leadville. and who has
had twenty-five years of active expert
ence as to mines in same formation as
Saw Pit, has just completed a thorough
inspection and scientific investigation Of
the company's properties at Saw Fit.
In the course of a lengthy official re-
port, made to p. J. Somers. he says:
"Now, / am of the opinion, after look
ing the situation over carefully, and at
my leisure, that the property is a safe
investment, and this dyke being SO close
in, makes the property more valuable,
as the dyke was the immediate cause
of the fauting and slipping. In
conclusion. will say as proposition to
develop paying mine, such as the dis
trict produces, you can do no better"
This means much for the properties,
as Mr.. Mackedon considers the mines
of the district in question second to none
in Colorado The opinions of Mr.. Macke
don, who did so much to develop Lead
Vile, will go great way with the Wis
consin people who have become identified
with the San Juan company, or who
are contemplating such step. His is

Broken Needles.

Few things in common use are more
dangerous than needles. This is espe-
cially true if they are broken and
dropped carelessly on the floor. 1t is
hard to get rid of broken needle. The
only sure way is to put it into the fire;
but even then it has a fashion of
dropping down through the bars of the
crate and reappearing when least ex-
pected. Did you ever try a magnet for
drawing out a broken needle that had
become so imbedded in the flesh that a
deep cut seemed necessary in order to
remove it? Well, it is bit of informa-
ton which it is well to keep in mind,
for it has been tried and found effectual.
