Newspaper men who have run a
job printing office in connection
with their paper have been having
pretty difficult time in compet-
ing with the government in print
ing envelopes. Business men who
have been in the habit of using
government stamped envelopes will
do we'll to note the fact that as soon
as the present contract for printing
runs out you can get envelopes
printed at your home Office only,
as the government will no longer
stay in the business of printing
return notices on envelopes. Also,
by a recent ruling, your letters will
be held thirty days, unless you
have printed on your envelopes
the time you wish your letters
held.

HE NAILS THE LIE.

Senator stewart Repudfates the
Alleged Anti-SiIVer Interview.
Senator William M. Stewart, oi
Nevada, telegraphs the Atlanta
Constitution as follows concerning
the statement attributed to him in
newspaper dispatches, that he had
advised his friends in the west to
drop the silver issue:
s'Any statement that / have
changed my position on the silver
question or advised my friends in
the west. or elsewhere. TO drop the
silver issue on theground ofreturn
of prosperity or on any other
ground. is absolutely and unqual>
ifiedly false. The fact that there
are abundant crops in this country
and famine elsewhere, which gives
temporary relief. is no reason why
we should not seek permanent re-
lief by the only possible means in
our power, which is theremonetis
zation of silver The efforts of the
gold press to make the country be-
lieve that the gold standard has
raised the price of wheat and not
short crops in every country but
this, is in keeping with their false
statements with regard to my po-
'sition. The low price of silver
produced by excluding it from the
mints and particularly the recent
decline produced by demonetiza-
ton in Japan, marks the rise in
gold and shows the robbery and
injustice OF confning the money of
the world to the commodity gold.
When they point to cheap silver as
the result of their conspiracy, we
point to dear gold as the result of
their rascality.
''The people will not believe that
the goldites control the seasons
and give the United States good
crops and cause famine elsewhere
They know that is the work of
Providence, over which the gold
ties have no control. Their impu-
dence in demanding credit for it is
in keeping with their entire system
of deception by which they are en-
shaving the human race.
"Now is the time to fight for sill
yer. The temporary relief which
Providence has granted should in
spire the manhood of the American
people to vote their sentiments at
the ballot box"
