The DOOM OF SILVER.
senator Sanders, of Montana, Gives
His Opinion.

~ hardly think" said ex-senator w.
+. Sanders, of Montana, that the dis
covery of large quantities of gold in
Alaska will tend TO bridge the gap that
separates gold and silver.
1T matters not how much gold is
taken out of the Klondike field, silver
will never regain its old-time position.
AS standard il is doomed, but il will al
WAYS serve an excellent use as subsi-
diary currency.
The denouncers of the crime OF %
have shouted continuously that one-half
of the worlds money supply has been
blotted out. Even if that were true,
then the recent big gold finds will recon
ellie people to a continuance OF the
single standard, for if we can get gold
! in sufficient abundance the deficit Gre
oted by the crime of 10 will ere long
be made good.
But, after all, it may be doubted
whether, even If the KJondike mines
prove as productive as the most san
puine miners claim, the general con-
dition Of the great mass of our people
will be bettered. 1t may be doubted
whether the California boom OF 40 pro-
duced any prosperity of national ex'
tent. Prosperity is not the result OF
such episodes. Money is abundant
enough now; the trouble is that it lies
stacked up in vaults, and will not come
out of its hiding place. 1t is the activity
of money created by demand that
causes it to circulate, and circulation
is hampered by distrust. If the PEG
pie who have money were sure they
would get it back again business woulc

BILE for the anthracite coal trust. The
fact Is that anthracite coal is on the

leans put it there in 1871. Yet the New
York World makes this statement:
Anthracite coal Coituminous COM
pctes), present duty 40 cents; proposed
duty, 81 cents" This is simply false
hood. The new tariff bill places no duty
on anthracite coal. II imposes duty OF
67 cents per ton on bituminous, against
40 cents, the present Wilson law rate.
And the proposed duty is lower than
that fixed in the famous Mills bill,

free trade yet suggested. retained duty

Diary.
In spite Of all the free silver itera-
ture with which the people were del
ured last fall. and in spite OF all the
camnaipn utterances of Mr.. Bryan and.
the elaborate statistical tables compiled
nv the author of Coins FINANCIAL
School," wheat persistently refuses 10
on down the descending scale with Sill
yer. While silver has gone down 4h
cents an ounce within a month whea'
has steadily advanced, and is now worth
IS cents in New York.
A few days ago silver bullion expert
enced the most violent break OF the
entire seasons decline. In London the
price dropped one-half penny per ounce
from the price of the previous day, SELL
ing at 1854 pence per ounce, as against
27H, pence month ago. The New York
price fell to 55sI cents, a break OF IA
cents an ounce from the preceding day.
This makes the bullion value OF the
silver dollar trifle more than AZ cents.
It is unfortunate for the free coinage
campaigns in Ohio, Iowa and Kentucky
that silver should take notion to drop
TO the lowest point ever reached just at
this time, when the supply of wheat is
limited and the demand so active that 1t
has steadily advanced in price. But the
laws Of nature are immutable. Ihey
cannot be suspended in the interests
of the silver miners or the free coinage
propaganda. There is no more relation
between the price of wheat and the
price of silver than there is between
the law of gravitation and the price OIL
corn.
That there has always been in tins
country some mysterious partnership
between the prices of silver and the
prices of wheat is the basic fallacy upon
which the Tree silver erase was con-
structed 1t was the exploitation OF tins
amazing deception that first attracted
public attention to Coins Financia
school," Around this instrumental
fraud was built superstructure OF err
rors, measurements and fallacious ar
concentration, all designed to support
the contention that the falling prices o
all products were due TO the decline o

1t was easy to propagate this doctrine

of wheat in the world and it sold for 8

in all sections of the union. and cam
very near bringing the nation to de
based currency and to national dis
honor.
This cardinal fallacy of the free sill
yer propaganda was repeatedly eN
ploded by such men as Prof. Laughlir
of the University of Chicago; Hor
Carl Schurz and many other eminen
statisticians. There has been a down
ward tendency in the price of silver

Scientists Having Fun.

Science isn't a dry pursuit altogeth-
er. The visitors to the International
Geological Congress in st. Petersburg
made pleasure trips of several thou
sand miles on trains and ships furnish
ed by the Russian Government. The
government furnished one train of fif-
teen sleeping cars, with two locomo-
tiVes, and another train of new freight
cars with tables to accommodate TWEEN
ty persons at meals at once, with re-
frigerator and other cars carrying food
and drink. The dining train preceded
the other, and the meals were always
served at stations to the whole party
at one time. Wherever places at any
distance from the railroad were to be
visited carriages were provided for all
who wished to ride, not an easy thing
for about $50 persons in a mining re-
gion. On the Kama and Volga, from
Perm to Nijni-Novgorod $1,000 miles,,

steel frame, to which the SpOkeS are
attached. The frame, hanging on these
inflated hubs, causes the rider to rock
easily, as though he were sitting in a
swing. There is consequently the least
possible vibration, Earring and jolting.
In running up against ditch or curb
stone, for instance, the pressure Of the
frame forward is against this inflated
tube in both hubs, SO that it simply
springs and swings, as it were, instead
of jolts, which is the reason it does not
throw the rider over the handle bars.
Beside making riding easy, it saves the
frame from being snapped at the joints
OF broken by Earring.
In other words, the inventor claims to
transfer the killing Of vibration from
the tires to the hub, because at the hub
he can have pneumatic arrangement,
out of the way of punctures. It is said
that Gen. Miles has ordered ten ma
chimes built on this plan.

mob, angered by the abolition editorials
appearing in Lovejoys weekly paper, the
Alton Observer, came across the river
from Missouri and besieged the editor and
his friends in Godfrey & Gilman's ware
house, where they had taken refuge. The
doors and shutters were strong and the
mob was unable to gain admission. The
Infatuated men sought to dislodge the

from the window twice and snatched the
brands, receiving bullet wound the sec
