In answer to an editorial which
appeared in these columns two
weeks ago, the Sherbrooke
Tribune says:
1--WE believe, Mr.. Trubshaw,
that there is no one in Steele
county who needs such an ex-
ample set before them. The
Courier has been misinformed.
The boys over here are all for
the ticket from beginning to end
and will labor enthusiastically to
secure the election Of the whole
ticket. There are no backsliders
among u.s."
The Courier is pleased to hear
that Steele county is ''in line. .
We thought SO all the time but
were led to believe different from
editorial utterances about the
state convention which appeared
in the Hope Pioneer following
the convention.

The republicans of Stutsman
county have deposited fifteen
dollars with the James River Ma
tional Bank to be paid to Editor
Kellogg. of the jamestown Alert,
when he shall have printed in his
daily and weekly editions the
full speech of James G. Blaine,
from which he has been quoting
passages of often of late. It is
said Mr.. Kellogg refused to pub
ish the speech in full and the
putting up of this fifteen dollars
was brought about by the refus-
al. If Mr.. Blaine's speech is
such a vote getter for the silver
cause we see no reason why ii
should not be published especi.
ally by free silver editors.

For a person who is supposed
to be for the common people and
is one Of the people it looks to US
as if William Jennings Bryan
was putting on quite a little
agony on his trip to New York
for the purpose Of being notified
of his nomination for President.
1t seems to us that it would have
suited the common people better
had he remained quietly at home
and received his notification com
mittee like his opponent. Such
buster puts us in mind of our
summer storms we have in North
Dakota wind and bluff. The
silver kings believe in making a
big parade to say the least.

"At current rates of silver the free
coinage of the dollar containing 4l2}
grains, worth in gold about 90 cents,
gives an illegitimate profit to the own
er of the bullion, enabling him to take
81 cents worth of it to the mint and
get 1t stamped as coin and force his
nelghbor to take it for full dollar.
This is an unfair advantage which the
the government has no right to give to
the owner of the bullion, and which
defrands the man who is forced to take
the dollar" Would not Blaine turn
in his grave if he knew that now they
were purposing to enable the bullion
owners to take, not 81, but 81 cents of
bullion and get it coined into 81?
If some kind hearted friend proceeds
to puncture us full of holes we sincere
ly hope he will tell us why Hamilton
and Jefferson agreed on ratio of Is
to 1. That he will tell us why in 1873
the ratio was Ii to l. Why the reasons
which held good then are not good
now. Why the ratio should not be 30
to l. Why his party does not advo-
cate such a ratio. one that the repub-
lican party would support.
Do not let prejudice dominate in
casting your vote. Vote for q dollar
that will be good the world over, that
the holder thereof will not have to
bring it to these shores to get full value
for. Vote for dollar that will, in the
future as it has IN the past, stand for
the top notch of human credit. That
needs no excuse, is coupled with no
"ifs." Remember that the United
States has $50 of assets to ST of debt,
q showing that no nation of the world
can anywhere near approach. That
we, the greatest nation of all, can
hardly take up with that which every
other nation has discarded and which
even the little states Of Central Ameri-
ca are Fastening to abandon.

Several hundred people have
been killed in the eastern states
during the past few days from
excessive heat. Had one man
been killed in North Dakota from
the same cause the New York
and Chicago papers would have
issued special editions of their
papers calling attention to the
fact. North Dakota has not ex.
perienced one death from sun
stroke this season.

charge is false or whether it is true.
1 do say, my countrymen, and know
whereof speak, that for three years
and a half, without regard to Bryan,
that there has been selected corps of
orators and writer's, paid employees of
the silver producers, spreading their
literature over this country from one
end to the other, telling the farmer
that he will have more for his wheat,
telling the laboring man that he will
have more for his work.

Now no one dare claim, and at least
cannot prove that a silver dollar was
ever refused for any debt, public or
private. To all intents and purposes
it has been full legal tender, in fact
was made SO in 1878. Yet they tell us
our circulating medium was cut in
two when it jumped from 100000 in
1873 to a yearly average of 5000, 600.
Will some one please to cut our cir
culating medium in two in like man
ner?
T. G. tells us we haven't money
enough to do our business, and
doubts our per capita circulation.
Others tell us that prices depend on
the volume of money. Now T. G., it
makes no difference whether our
$24.34 per capita is all in circulation
Or not. The per capita circulation of
all countries is based upon the same
premises and for purposes of compar-
ison, 1--WE cannot go behind the re-
turns If we cannot do business
with our $24.34 what does Canada
do with her 1885? How can Japan, a
silver nation, exist with but 1880? Is
Russia going to pieces with only S7.16
in her stocking? Is Great Britain
with S18.42 threatened with extinction?
And if the volume of money regulates
prices, do we receive six times as
much for our products as does the
Mexican? twenty-three times as much
as the Chinaman? Do Canadian
farmers get nearly one half less for
their products than we do? Or dc
you imagine for a minute that French
farmers receive four-ffths more
than we do? Faugh! If our populis,
friends will take the trouble to get q
report of the N. Y. clearing house fo1
one day, they will find that business
covering millions of dollars, is bal
anced by as many thousands. If they
will investigate the balances of trade
between this and other nations. they
will find that one dollar can do the
duty of hundreds.
What does the free and unlimited
coinage of silver mean? 1t means
that the government shall by law de.
clare 37l.25 grains of silver, which
has a commercial value of sic, to be
worth as much as 1922 grains of gold,
which has commercial value of 81.
1t means that Senator Jones. Sharon
and the rest of the silver barons can
take 54c of silver bullion to the mint
and receive therefor 100 cents. 1t
means that the bullion owners and
speculators of all nations can bring
54c of value to our mint and get 100c.
And it means that this nation shall do
what no other nation under the sun
does-coin the same free of charge.
If these spectators make 46c, does
it not follow that somebody loses 46c?
And if the United States loses 46c on
each dollar will not we, the people of
the U. s., be called upon to foot the
loss in the end? Free and unlimited
coinage means that every dollar OF
American securities, now held abroad.
will be thrown on the market. taking
millions of dollars out of the country.

The above table affords an in
teresting birds-eye view of the
leading silver mine owners of the
west, who, either in person or
through their agents, have been
active in shaping the 16 to 1
plank in the various platforms of
the democratic, populist and
silver conventions recently held
in St. Louis and Chicago. The
great cry among Dur Griggs
county silverites is that the advo-
Gates of sound money are the on
ly ones that have money to run
their campaign. The above
figures show that the silver mine
owners have more and not a
quarter of them are quoted in
the above table. There are three
men in Denver not quoted in the
above table, who are worth over
one hundred million of dollars
and they are bowling for free
silver of course. The people are
getting their eyes opened in re-
gard to this big free silver boom
and we think that it will receive
a severe puncture on Nov. Sd.

Cause and Effect.

Success can only be assured by going back
to the cause in the treatment of disease.
Many Doctors can see the effects only, such
as are visible TO the eye, and treat the sym.
ptoms, but while the cause exists a cure is
impossible and herein lies the secret of so
many failures. The skilled Specialist devotes
all his study to few diseases and become as
familiar with them as you do with the faces
of your family. When he sees Skin Dis.
ease, he knows just where the cause lies, and
just what to do.
If you have exposed yourself to disease and
there appears a suspicious sore, to his ex-
perienced eye, it becomes plain whether it is q
poison in the blood or local trouble.

A Phantom Party,

A largely attended phantom
party was given last night at the
home OF Ernest Burdett, on Presa
street. Each and every guest pres
ent was robed in white dress and
hoods which entirely covered the
face, and altogether the scene was
one which would cause a spectator
to think that he had suddenly
trespassed on the spirits hunting
ground. At II o'clock the hoods,
which were used as a mask, were
removed, and the gentlemen now
transformed into the living, escort
ed their partners into the dining
roohI, where a repast was served,
after which the merry gathering
enjoyed themselves with games
and music until an early hour in
the morning.

Yesterday afternoon the finance
committee of the Fair association
met in the rooms of the Business

Conversation took a very lugu-
brious turn until the arrival of
Col. H. +. Barnard, of the Edi-
son Street Car Company, who
brought with him encourage
ment from new and unexpected
sources. Mr.. Barnard informed the
committee that through the in
tiuences which he had practically
organized he could assure the ad-
dition OF about $1,000 to the
amount already subscribed.
Other parties arrived during the
progress OF the meeting, and the
committee, having received en-
couragment and reassurance:from
various sources, was imbued with
renewed vigor. The work OF so.
Letting will be continued for
another week or two. Beginning
with next Sunday the subscrip-
