When silver becomes primary

duced by the issue of greenbacks
during the civil war will begin.

ENGL.AuD'S FEAR!
How Democracy's Success will Affect Britain.
A Most Remarkable Article That All
Americans Should Read.
~ News March 10

"The financial situation in the
United States is very serious. The
condition of affairs in the United
States Congress demands the imme-
diate attention of British fnanciers
and statesmen. The trade Of the
world is now in our hands, but it
will not long remain there if the
United States goes to a bimetallic
basis with free and unlimited coinage
of silver.
"With the addition of silver to
the volume of money, everything in
America would take on a new face;
labor and industry would gain new
life. The grip OF the gold standard
on the products of the world would
be loosened and prices would rise.
Great Britain would lose her mar
zets in South America, Asia and
Europe, and American ships would
not be long in capturing the carry
ing trade of the world.
british creditors must now apply
themselves quickly to the American
money problem. The American
people are now thoroughly aroused
and educated on the power and use
Of money, and made desperate by
Iebt and business depression, they
are forcing free silver as the main
ssue.'
mGreat Britain need feel no injury
10 her trade or investments if the
Republican party can force pro
ection tariff as the main issue in
he coming presidential campaign,

mind and carries at the polls, it will

DRY GOODS.
Rrndgfrppt'S

Bradstreets.
Trade is very conservatively conducted
in all departments, with operations for
daily needs only. The high cost Of raw
cotton compared with the price of goods
tends to strengthen the market. and some
advances are sked but the depressed ton"
continues, and any advance comes hard
under the present limited demand. Con-
verters are doing little and this stops one
of the largest outlets for cotton fabrics,
and it looks as though any increase in the
demand later will find the market very
short of goods. Printed fabrics are quiet
with ginghams very duh. Dress woolens
are slow in all departments. Mill agents
report a very slow business, while jobberS
are meeting with only n hand-t o-mouth
trade Men swear woOlens are slow with
orders for spring lightweights backward,
and ii looks as though this latter trade
would not amount TO much As yet or
ders have been largely confined to the
cheaper fabrics.

Last Nights Ball.

The ball given here last night by
Panhandle lodge K. Of P, and the
Rathbone Sisters, was grand sue
cess, both socially and financially.
Notwithstanding the inclement con-
dition of the weather, which kept
many outsiders away, the attendance
was good and the ball proved an en-
joyable affair. First class music was
furnished by a Spokane orchestra.
The supper prepared by the Rathbone
Sisters was elegant. We should like
to give more space to this grand So
cjal affair, but cannot do so for lack
of space.

The Biggest Fool at Large

Is the individual who persistently neglects
his health, and the means of preserving and
restoring it. Many persons who are not con-
stitutional idiots do this. They are genuine
objects of compassion as we'll as censure. A
failure of appetite, loss of sleep and fiesh i'm
paired digestion, an uncertain state OF the
bowels and symptoms of biliousness are so
many warnings of the approach of disease.
TO disregard them is abject folly, which Of
tended nature in due time punlshes severely,
if not fatally. That genial and thoroughly
reliable preventive of bodily mischief in the
shape of chronic disease, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, WILL if resorted to in time avert those
disorders. to the removal of which it is also
fully adequate. Among these are chronic in
digestion, liver complaint, kidney troubles,
constipation, nervousness. rheumatism ana
malaria.
