tions. have effected the fall il silver
as corollary to the rise in the value of
wheat. Nor are the $500, 600 going
to be moved by such fantastic attempts
at arguments; neither will they &C
cept unrelated condolences as proof of
economic correlation.
On the other hand, they will recog-
nize the hammering down of silver as
the inevitable consequence of the con-
spiracy of the Gold trust, which has
been driving the white metal out of
the coinage of one nation after another
and pursuing the plans for its utter
extinction during the past thirty years.
The $500. 900 are enabled now to COM
prehend the enormity. audacity and
heartlessness of this colossal scheme
of robbery, just as it is approaching
consummation, with more clearness
than they ever did before.
They will not be apt to join with the
enemies of the human race and assist
them in completing the gigantic ruin
they have planned. The $500, 600
will fght more determinedly than ever
In renewing the struggle they will
have the cooperation of large army
of voters who were fooled into voting
for Mckinley under the promise that
his administration would bring about
the restoration of bimetallism. These
recruits will come not alone from the
West, where such supporters of Me-
Kinley as Carter. Shoup and Hans
brough have raised the standard of re-
volt, but numbers of them will be
found in the Middle and New England
States, where the false cry of ''high
wheat and low silver" has not blinded
the eyes of thinking men to the depre-
citation of real estate. the burden of
taxes. the misery of the laboring class
es. the low rate of wages and the arti-
fetal character OF such Industrial ac-
tivity as has been lately inaugurated.
Senator Chandler voices the senti-
ment of this reinforcement to the
G. 800, 900 when he said the other day
through the press of the country:
The fall in silver will not lessen
the present or prospective woes from
monometallism. It only points the
moral of demonstration. Tne gold

prices of all other commodities. Such

dities. Such fall in the prices of the

BlmetaIIists Are Increasing.

Despite the ululations of the Gold
trust organs over the discrepancy be-
tween the price of wheat and silver,
there is no diminution of faith on the
part of the $500, 900 in the final tri-
umph of bimetallism- The $500, 900
can not be stampeded by the brayiug
OF these tin-horn tools of the money
power into an abandonment of convic-
tions which they have reached by care
ful processes of reasoning and by a
survey of the causes which brought
about and protracted the business de-
preston of recent years.
With few exceptions the 6,500,0 900
who voted for bimetallism are Ameri-
cans and native born, and their study
of the currency question was prose-
cuted in patriotic spirit, as well as
with thoughtful and conscientious scru-
tiny. before they bestowed upon it the
sanction Of their ballots. This class
of men do not lightly abandon opin-
ions thoughtfully formed. The delib-
crate conclusions of their Intelligence
are not to be overthrown by illogical
vociferation or noisy assertions.
The 6.5O0,0 600 are largely composed
of farmers and those directly connect
ed with them in a fiscal way. These
voters thoroughly understand that the
high price of wheat is sporadic and
temporary. They are aware that In-
dia, with its 800. 600. 900. has been
swept with famine, plague and drought
and that food must be bought for these
peoD1e in order to enable them TO live
until they raise another crop. They
are fully informed as to the shortage
of the wheat crop in France. Belgium,
Australia, Russia, Germany and other
European states. They know that Ar
oentiua. Australia and other large
wheat-producing countries, which or
dinarily export considerable quantities
of that kind OF grain. are compelled TO
buy from our farmers in order TO feed

tion whatever with currency condi-

Tennessee Centennial and Worlds
Exposition.

NASHVILLE, TENN, Aug. 20, 1897.
The Centennial Is another Worlds
Fair only on a smaller scale. Here
you see all displays which were at the
Worlds Fair, but not in such quanti-
ties; and many more that were not at
Chicago.
The visitor enters on the Broad
street and West End electric car. The
entrance is an Egyptian archway, sur
mounted by beautiful statue of
Minerva. You pass through and are
struck by the beauty of the sights
which meet the eyes on every hand.
You pass on and come to the Minerals
and Forestry Building. Il is a very
handsome structure, of the Doric style,
and is very similar to the Arlington,
the old home of General Lee. 1t con-
tains woods from almost all states and
countries; and all kinds of wood which
grows may be seen here. We pass on
OA TUG anu ACaSA hnC
Rialto from which you look over the
clear waters of Lake Watauga and be-
hold the Panthenon before US; and
in every direction the beautiful palms
aud flowers of every hue and shape
greet the eyes. The little shops here
are presided over by sombre Italians
in gaudy costumes. In these shops.
you can buy from the soft, musical
voiced proprietors strings of beads
which have in the yellow of the
Italian sunlight or the tdpis lazsli blue
of their skies.
One who has the time and money
canGot spend them in a better way
than to visit the Centennial. 1t will
not close before October S1st. which
gives the people chance to come dur
ing the pleasant weather OF Septem-
ber and October. Railroad rates are
very low now. Round trip tickets
may be had from St. Louis over the

From the Far West.
Continued from July 10, 1897.

| OOnunned from IuIf Ao5 4oV'
After seeing all the beauties OF ma
ture from the summit of old baldy-
the height is 5000 feet instead of 800
| feet above the sea level-we begin to
descend to the south of the summit.
At this point for about half a mile is
the most dangerous part of the road
from Harpster to Elk City. 1t is on
the south side of the hill. There is no
timber here and the snow drifts and
gets to be 80 feet deep. In order to
get by this point in snow storm you
are guided by snow stakes 80 feet in
height, and snow team which is sta
toned there day and night. OF fur
ther to the south, seemingly, but few
miles, is Pilot Rock. a huge pyramid
of solid rock which extends several
hundred feet into the air above the
mountain tops. This rock was used
for guide by the old time miners in
the early Cos. It requires about five
the top of this mountain of rock.
There are many stories told about this
rock, which, if I were to put half in
print. would occupy all the columns Of
the REGISTER.
After leaving the summit, NewSome,
26 miles from Harpster. is the next
stopping place. Here you are in the
midst of the great Newsome creek
mining district. There is a quartz
mill going in 81 miles from the New
some House on the mine. known as the
Gold Crown. 1t is estimated that the
rock will go $50 to the ton, and that
there are more than one hundred
thousand dollars on the dump now.
There are other good quartz properties
here, but there is but little develop
ment work done as yet.
Four miles below the Newsome
house is one of the largest hydraulic
mines in the country. There has al
ready been more than s25, 900 expend-
ed on openings. They have tunnelled
through a mountain in which to carry
or build fiume through.
Leaving Newsome Creek miles we
come to Moose creek. Here we find
two large hydraulic mines. Further
down this stream, where it, with New
some creek, empties into the Clear
water, is the old Clearwater station,
which was at one time, the richest
placer camp in Idaho.
Still further to the south is Ligget
creek. A company composed of min
ers, engineers, and other business men,
of Portland, Oregon, are opening seven
miles of this creek for placer gold.
At this point is the mouth of the long
est mining ditch in Idaho, the length
being 81 miles. 1t was dug 20 years
ago by Cinnamon. Alter this we turn
down the slope which leads to Elk City.
Here
Deep in the evergreen forest, thousand
tones are heard,
The laughing. dancing brooklet, the song of
bright winged bird,
The dearest and sweetest of all the charms
on earth,
Are those that link our natures to feelings
that have birth.

platform, adopted year ago, were a
protective tariff, international bimetal-
lism, reform in the currency system,
the annexation of Hawaii, and an i'm

the sixteen weeks since the Inaugural
ton of the president elected upon that
platform, the protective tariff pledge
has been carried almost to perfect COM

abroad to treat for international BIZ

by which congress will be asked to
create commission to devise plan
for reforming the currency, an annexa-

signed, American prisoners in Cuba
have been released, and the plans for
lettering the conditions in that island
by peaceful and successful methods are
nearing completion.

WE are glad to see the council take
the action it did in regard to macad-
amizing Deming street. The city can
not afford to pave all the streets with
brick, it is too expensive. We need
some pavement for streets which are
not used for heavy traffic to any great
extent, which can be put down at a
modest cost, and Deming street being
a short street is good place to try
macadamizing. The people can see
what it is like and how it stands.
