received trife over $500, 900, 600 in
gold, which has nearly all disappeared.
Free silver does not mean that the
Gov arnment will give dollar for fifty
cents. Make the gold man prove his
assertion to that effect. Under free
coinage the Government would re-
ceive silver bullion to the weight of
37l4 grains and coin it into a silver
dollar. and that coin would bo given
to the silver depositor. That dollar
would be worth no more than the
market value OF silver bullion. 1t
might not he worth as much as the
gold dollar, but it would place silver
on an equal footing with gold. The
owner OF the silver bullion would get
no more than his market value of the
bullion for his deposit. Would the
price of silver go up? And would the
price of other commodities follow i'm
mediately? That would happen be-
yond the slightest doubt, and this is a
fact that gold standard men who are
familiar with the subject will not
deny. What will follow? Prosperity
follows higher prices as day follows
night. Farms would be titled again
at d profit, factories, now idle, would
resume work, the owners being as-
sured of Just price for their goods;
idle men would find employment, and
the only sufferers would be the Ickel-
bergers, Bernheimers. Rothschilds,
Belmonts and England. With pros
perity assured by free silver, is it any
wonder that the army of sufferers
from the Nation-killing gold standard
should rally to the support of Bryan

Free Coinage.

What is meant by free coinage is
that silver shall be coined upon the
terms and conditions which apply to
the coinage of gold. This was the
case from time immemorial previous
to 1878. The Government always
charges sufficient for refining the
metal and preparing it for coinage,
added to the profit on the alloy, to
pay the expenses of the mint and
make that institution self-sustaining.
Free coinage means that gold and sill
yer shall be coined with no charge for
profit to the Government and only
sufficient charge to defray the expenses
which the Government incurs. Under
free coinage the Government will
neither lose nor make by the opera
tion of coming either gold or silver,
but it would coin all the gold and all
the silver presented for that purpose.

Watered Stock ami an Honest Dollar.

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany and the Bell Telephone Company
have been consolidated, and the capi-
tai stock of each company has been
increased fifty per cent. The owners
of the stock in each of these COM
panies are the greatest howlers for an
honest dollar. They are also the
greatest waterers of stock in the coun-
try. The telephone business has un-
fortunately cut down the profits of
the telegraph business. Competition
would soon have forced both COM
panies to lower their rates; conse-
quently, they pooled their interests
and formed trust to keep up prices,
aud at the same time watered their
stock toYput more money in the treas
ury. 1t is perfectly legitimate
for these calamity howlers to deal in
initiation, and to combine to make the
people pay dividends on watered stock
by paying more for telephone and tel
egraph rates than they are honestly
worth; but when it comes to the Ma
lions increasing the currency by add.
ing to the stock of gold similar stock
of silver, or making fifty-three cents
worth of bullion worth dollar in
money, there are no more fierce, ag-
gressive and uncomprising adherents
of National honesty and National
honor, and 10 more bitter and ven
omous foes OF reputation than these
masters in the art of ballooning COR
porate values. New York Suburbon.

The Cheap Dollar Bugabo0.

In one breath our goldbug friends
howl "50-cent dollar" and In the
next they declare that free coinage is
all for the benefit of the silver mine
owner. Well, if the silver miner will
only get 50-cent dollar for his so
cents worth of silver, wherein is the
benefit to him. But, if on the other
hand. he gets dollar for his $50
cents worth" of silver, the silver dol
lar under free coinage must be, not q
50-cent but 100-cent dollar. There
is no one quite so inconsistent as the
argumentative goldbug. - Wheeling

The Stars in the Flag Are Silver.

AhO thC id5 tiG DlltCE.
Out of the West from the land of the grain,
Comes the sound of song men are sing
ing;
High on the mountain and over the plain
Is the flash of the flag they are bringing,
Welcome the banner. it's no foreign rag,
Look! they are silver! the stars in the flag.
Now at the shop and the forge and the mill
With the beads on her brow Labor
standeth:
"What is this army approaching at will?
And what Is the thing it commandeth?
Would 1t ,Old Glory from battlements
Look! they are silver! the stars in th g flag.
Hark to the cry from the loom and the
fields,
'Tis cry like the cry of a mother:
"Men of the East would you raise golden
shields
SIN war on friend and brother?
"Who says our banner is Anarchy's rag?"
Look! they are silver! the stars in the flag.
Silver! not gold are the two score Of stars,
And they tell for our country its story.
Down with the hand of the Shylock who
mars
For measure of gold, our "Old Glory!"
Here's the reply to Plutocracy's brag:
Look! they are silver! the stars in the flag.

A Pathetic Letter From One Which Tells

Its Own Story.
An English paper, having offered to
throw open its columns to a considera-

When am not teaching my boys, am play

the fact that there is no future before me. II

An old friend of DR.. Holmes says:
About 20 years ago, being in Boston one
day, 1 called upon him and was ushered
into his library unannounced. AS the
door opened heard a singular scraping
sound, and the doctor rose to meet me
with slightly embarrassed air.
When the servant was gone, said,
81 am afraid disturbed you"
He laughed. Eyes, you did, but
was at work on neither a poem nor a
lecture
He touched spring, and out from un-
der the library table rolled little bench
fitted out with a turning lathe and tools.
'This is the way l rest myself" he
said. but there are people in the world
who would think that if physician

physicians to see and point out the dan

which brain workers in this country too
often subject themselves. He insisted
upon the value Of hobby, some mental
occupation differing from the ordinary
business or profession, on which the
brain could at once work and rest

A Turfnlan's Tale.

A New Jerseyman told me a good
story tho other day OH one of our fore
most turfmen, a man whose name is
perhaps printed oftener than that of
any other connected with racing in
America. A good many years ago this
turfman, who was not then deep in the
racing business, arrived in Jersey City
with a tlainload of mustangs from the
plains of Texas. He knew nothing of
the laws Of the state nor of the ordi-
nances of the city. He knew that he
wanted to sell his mustangs and thought
the best way to do it was to sell them
at auction. Being somewhat gifted in
speech, he determined that he would be
his own auctioneer. The sale started out
well. Fair prices were realized. Sud-
denly it was interrupted by policemen,
who demanded view of our friends
license.
"License?" he said amazed. "What
license? l haven't any license of any
kind
"Well, you can't sell horses in this
city without license. You'll have to
come along. No monkey business with
us. y"
Of course he went along, but he was
lucky enough to find at court a friend Ga
lawyer), who went bail for him in the
sum of $50. Then the lawyer said:
"a license costs $3.50. You are under
bonds. Go ahead and finish your sale,
collect your money and skip out. Give
me $50 to settle the forfeited bond, and
you are 5000 ahead Of the game"
1t was done accordingly. The turf
man and his friend met in the St. James
hotel lately and laughed over the joke.
