The essential features oil new
method of eectro-plating with alumni
mum are as follows: A solution Of am
monia alum in warm water is prepared,
containing 20 per cent of alum. TO
this is added a solution containing
about the same quantity of pearl ash
and a little ammonia carbonate. The
mixture results in effervescence and
in the deposition of precipitate. The
latter is filtered off and well washed
with water. A second solution of am
monia alum, containing 16 per cent of
alum and per cent of pure potassium
cyanide, is now prepared warm and
poured over the precipitate previously
obtained, the mixture being then boiled
for 30 minutes in closed iron vessel,
iacketed to insure uniformity of heat
ing. At this stage about 20 Kilograms
of water are added and about two kilo-
grams more of potassium cyanide, and
the whole is left boiling for about Id
minutes. The liquid is then filtered
from the precipitate, and is ready for
use in the electrolytic bath.

Weyler of the Mint.

Director of the Mint, Preston, threat
ems to make liars out Of Blaine, Gar
field, Grant and a host Of others VINO
have made public declarations that II
was not generally known that the
"crime of '73" was being committed Dy
the passage of the coinage act that
dropped the standard silver dollar. \
recent dispatch from Washington
says:
The official history Of the change IN
the coinage law made in 1873 Will be
included in the annual report OF the
director Of the mint for the fiscal year
1896. Director Preston has been search
ing the files of the treasury and OF
congress for every scrap of data bear
ing on the subject, and will make the
most complete presentation OF facts and
documents which has ever been at
tempted.
He has found copy of the original
draft Of the proposed coinage law
which was sent to congress by Mr..
John Jay Knox, when comptroller OF
the currency, with changes interlined
by Mr.. Knox in his own handwriting.
1t was only after long search that
this draft of the bill was found in the
assay office at New York, where 1t had
been sent to obtain the views of the
assayer. This original draft provided
for reducing the silver dollar to a to-
ken coin of the same finish and proper
ton of silver as other subsidiary coins.
The dollar was not in circulation, be-
cause the high price of silver then rul-
ing made it more valuable than the
gold dollar, even if the country had not
been upon paper basis. The commit
tee of congress which dealt with the
bill dropped out the dollar altogether.
but retained the limitation of legal
tender power to S., which Mr. Knox
had proposed for all the silver coins
The subsequent action of congress In
adopting trade dollar for use in China
is we'll known.
Director Preston will present copies
of the coinage law in its several stages
and the correspondence which took
place between the treasury officials and
committee of congress, showing that
the purpose of the bill was thoroughly
understood at every stage of its con-
sideration. Another feature which he
proposes to embody in his annual re-
port is a description of coinage, from
the point where the metal is taken
from the mine until it is paid over the
counter in bright coins. Every stage
of the process of smelling and refining
the metal, making the dies, stamping
the coins, milling the edges and hand
ling them in the mint, will be fully set
forth.

fallen face downward in his weakness,
and sought to minister to his needs,
the spark of life fed. He had survived
forty-eight hours of bitter cold in the
unheated apartment and died as relief
was at hand.
The report of the board of health
shows that during the entire month OF
November twenty-eight people COM
mitted suicide in Chiago. Over half OF
these killed themselves because they
preferred a quick death by drowning,
by poison or by the pistol to a linger-
ing one by starvation.

Senator Allen of Nebraska replied in
vigorous language in the Senate Mon
day to the statements made by Senator
Hoar of Massachusetts before the Home
Market Club in Boston. The following
Is an extract from Senator Aliens
speech:
"The Populist party of Nebraska is
composed of men who understand quite
we'll the inviolability of all contracts,
as we'll as the sacredness of public and
private property and the rights Of citi
zens. The party was not born to de-
stroy, but to build up and make more
secure the rights of all, and to give to
all that full measure of justice their po-
sition as members of society entities
them to.
"Those who live elsewhere and have,
CIR may have, obligations against the
state, or any of its subdivisions, or
citizens, will not be deprived of enter
iRS our courts and enforcing them as
fdlly and completely as they can in the
courts Of their own state. They will
find no prejudices against them if their
cause is meritorious Our judges will
compare very favorably with those Of
the oldest states of the union in point
of ability, integrity and knowledge Of
the duties of their offices. They will
hold the scales of justice impartially
between residents and no1-residents:
they will enforce all legal obligations
in their letter and spirit and defeat
those in violation of law; they are, in
every conceivable respect, abreast Of
the times, and are fully armed and
equipped, by character and education,
to impartially discharge their duties
without fear or favor
Eastern holders of stocks in our
railway corporations sometimes express
fear of hostile legislation, and l desire
to say to them that such feeling is
groundless. While l do not doubt that
the legislature will enact measures
looking to the prevention Of over-capi-
talization, wild and reckless manage
ment, and will take strong grounds
against railways interfering in political
matters and favoring one political
party by the free service Of their trains
to the rigid exclusion of others from a
like privilege, yet so far as equitable
and just passenger and freight rates
are concerned there will be nothing
done of which any fair-minded man
may justly complain"

thing. We want to get rid of 1t. The
Constitution of the United States gives
us full power to legislate upon all ques-
tions affecting our people. We are not
dependent upon the power of other ma
tions for passing whatever laws VS.
may need to restore prosperity. Con-
gress should at once enact law for the
free coinage of silver, and by such af-
firmative action declare to the world
that the United States has discarded
the single gold standard because Il
is repuSnant to the welfare of our peo-
pie and against the happiness and pros
perity Of the country. We have no hes
itancy in predicting that If the Repub-
lican party should again attempt to
secure an international agreement,
such attempt is already doomed to de-
feat, because it is against the interests
of creditor England to allow us to use
silver as money Of final payment. If
another conference is held it will be
only to furthe: hoodwink the people,
and will be part Of the policy of de-
ception and fraud laid out in the st.
Louis platform, which declared that
the Republican party would maintain
the gold standard and make the people
suffer all the dire consequences Of such
standard until some foreign nation,
which has direct interest in the gold
standard, shall take pity upon us and
let us get rid of this world-acknowl-
edged evil.

We congratulate the country on the
prospect that the Cleveland Democracy
is likely to maintain its organization.
1t will keep the Mckinley Democracy
out of the great, liberty-loving Amer
lean oranization which gave six million
and a half votes for the principles OF
Jefferson and Lincoln. 1t will rid the
true Democracy of the communicating
influences of mingling with the follow
ers of the British gold standard, and
give confidence to Populists and silver
Republicans that when the majority OF
the Democratic Convention at Chicago
separated tn ,mselves from the Lom-
bard and Wall street wing OF the party,
the separation was decisive and perma-
nent. When the people fully understand
that the line is drawn and will be pre-
served between the goldites on one
hand, by whatever name they may be
called, and the producers Of wealth on
the other, there can be no doubt where
the majority will be found.
The name Democracy" was made
so odious by Cleveland's administration
that many voters refused to cast their
suffrages for Bryan, because his party
was called the Democratic party. When
they find that the party of Bryan, Of
Allen, of Butler, of Jones, and Of Teller
is the party of the people contending
for the principles Of the better days of
the republic, they will realize that there
is a new Democracy which is not the
Democracy of the Bourbon goldites.
All that is necessary to secure the res
toration of the prosperity Of the bet
ter days of the republic is to keep the
line drawn between those who believe
that the United States can legislate for
itself and maintain its institutions
without European aid, and those who
are controlled by the money powers In
the old world. The division has been
made, and all the people will know 1t
before another election. They can then
choose whether Americans shall govern
themselves or allow European influ-
ences to control our domestic affairs.

The Silver Planks

Delegate Lennon introduced the fol-
lowing at the meeting of the Fedora
ton of Labor: Resolved, by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor in convention
assembled, That we reaffirm the stand
taken by the American Federation OF
Labor for the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to l, without waiting
for the consent or approval of any other
nation. Resolved, That we emphatic
ally deny that in the advocacy OF the
free coinage of silver we in any way
indorse any political party that may
have made free coinage part of its polit-
ical PLATFORM
Mr.. Yarnell declined to accept II.
Delegate Boyce declared that the de-
monetization of silver was foreign in
vasion Of American rights, Delegate
Woodbury. of Chicago said: III this
convention has no right to put itself
on record as favoring the interests OF
the American people, then we had bet
ter adjourn and go home. | would like
to know if we are going to say to the
American people that just as soon as
some political party adopts our ideas
we will stop advocating them" Dele
gate Penna declared that if the bring
ing of the financial question into the
convention should injure the labor
movement, the gold advocates would be
responsible. Similar speeches were
made by Delegates Mcbride. Askew
Lloyd, O'Connell and others. The vote
was by representation, and resulted IN
1915 in the affirmative and 1862 in the
negative.

Though the heel of the strong oppress-

And the voices of Fame, with one &C

Let those who applauded take warning,

No question is ever settled until 1t is

Let those who have failed take cour-
age, tho the enemy seems to have

Tho his ranks are strong, If he be in

For, sure as the morning follows the
darkest hour of the night,
No question is ever settled until 1t is
settled right.
o man bowed down with labor! 0

Keep on with your weary battle against
triumphant might;
No question is ever settled until it is

the stable, unable to work from the kick
Of another animal, received on the inside

weeks time | had given the limb such
treatment as, from thirty years professi-

but without avail. The leg was swollen
to nearly twice its natural size, and the
swelling would not yield to treatment.
On Thursday evening, June Is, 1896, I
made the first application of the liniment
Trib, thoroughly rubbing in half of six
ounce bottle over the whole leg. | ap-
piled it regularly twice "a day for the next
three days. ON the fourth day the mare
went to work. completely curcd-the
most surprising and satisfactory cure
coming under my observation during a
lifetime devoted to the treatment of
horses.
During the past eight months I have
used this linilnent regularly in my prac-
tice. Trib fultill> all its promises
An especially valuable feature of Trib
is that, while it has all the penetrating
strength of the most powerful liniments,
it does not blister.
For love of the horse, and the fellow
