Spokane Fuit Fair.
SPOKANE, WASH, August, 1897.

SPOKANE, WASH, August, 1897.
DEAR SIR.-It has been decided to
add a first class Mineral Exhibit to the
Spokane Fruit Fair which opens Oc.
tober 9TH, in a separate annex con-
nected with the main building of the
Fair. In this department will be ex-
hibited ores from the various camps of
the Northwest, mining machinery and
devices and everything which it may
be possible to secure of especial inter
est to the miner. This exhibit will be
so arranged as to give the best educa-
tional results and no pains will be
spared to make it one of the most at
tractive features of the Fair.
All who are familiar with the good
results derived from the Mineral Ex-
hibit at last years Fair will readily ap-
preciate the Importance of a united
effort to make this department what it
ought to be this year. Here are brought
together the prospector, the miner, the
investor and all who may be seeking
information concerning the mineral
wealth of the great Northwest. The
work is important from an educational
standpoint and adequate business re-
suits are sure to follow. The railroads
have again this year been asked to give
free transportation to Spokane of all
exhibits consigned to the superintend-
ent of this department. The Fruit
Fair Management undertake to receive
all consignments at the Spokane rail
road depots and see that the same shall
be properly placed at the Fair grounds
and due credit given to the camp and
to the consignor forwarding the same.
United and intelligent work on the
part of all interested in the success of
this movement will make this exhibit
one that every prospector and miner
may be proud of.
All consignments should be forward
ed to L. X. Armstrong, Sup't. Mineral
Spokane Fruit Fair, not
later than Sep. 10. Prompt action is
therefore absolutely necessary.
Kindly advise us of support we can
rely upon from your district.
For further information address
l.. X. ARMSTRONG,
Mineral Department,
Spokane, Washington. |

Let no farmer be deceived by gold
bug claptrap concerning the rise of
wheat. Any man who can read must
know that it comes from a veritable
bread famine in other countries.
Prosperity which is haunted by the
ghosts of starved millions in other
lands is not the kind of prosperity
that the American people desire.
Moreover, such prosperity is bound to
be temporary, for even a gold cham
pion, great though he be in promising,
can scarcely give US the assurance that
there will always be general crop fail
ures in India and Argentine and short
crops in Europe.-Nationa Bimetallist.

the fact that the short crops in Europe
have caused the price of wheat to go
up. They ignore the fact that the rel
ative values Of wheat and silver have,
with this and one other exception,
stood together since 1873, and are now
making an object lesson out of an ex-
ception to well established rule. And

The mining industry never was more
prosperous, and never did better feel
ing prevail among mining men gener-
ally throughout the entire west than
at the present time, even though the
great silver mines at Park City, Utah,
and at Crede, Colorado, have been
forced to close down on account of the
low price of silver. From Colorado to
California, and from Arizona to British
Columbia one can scarcely find local
paper in any mining district which
does not tell of new mines being open
ed,new development in mines, new mills
being put up, and a general good feeling
prevailing. In all of this, Idaho is do
ing her full share. Almost every coun-
ty in the state is having something to
tell of new mining enterprises started,
and of established ones being more
pushed. All of this is going
on without the least hint at anything
like a boom. The men who are boom
ers are apparently, nearly all of them,
taking a lay-of, or are working the
Klondyke boom. The miner and bust
ness man are doing the work.

1t looks now as if the time when the
bankers and plutocrats would own all
the property in America as well as all
the money, were to be STAYED off little
longer. The famine in India and the
short crops in Europe have made a
market for American products this
year which, with the splendid crops in
this country, is enabling the farmers
to lift mortgages and gives them new
grip on their property. This is espec.
tally true of the Northwest. The great
wheat sections of Idaho and Washing
ton are boasting of phenominal crops.
Whole sections of land are averaging
thirty bushels per acre of the finest
wheat in the world, and we frequently
find items in our exchanges telling of
large fields of wheat yielding from fifty
to sixty bushels per acre. With wheat
at seventy cents the farmers are happy,
Now is the time the goldbug is trying
to get in fine work by attempting to
prove to the farmer that there is no re-
lation between the price of silver and
the value of farm products. They ig-
more the fact that there is no demand
for silver to purchase wheat in India,
at present; first, because India has no
wheat for sale and finally because the

They Mistake the Demand.

The gold standard men are going to
find themselves turned down one of
these days, if for no other reason, from
their stupidity, their blind and per-
verse judgment in ascribing every other
cause or motive but the right one to
the free silver agitation. The greatest
mistake they make is in supposing the
free silver agitation is a "calamity
howl" There has been many good
crops in the west AM south since the
free silver agitation began to take on
national proportions. While the agri-
cultural sections have received but a
small price, comparatively, for their
products, they have not suffered great
ly. There has been no extreme want,
no widespread calamity" And yet
the demand for the restoration of sill
yer has steadily grown in strength and
volume. How ridiculous is the present
reasoning, therefore, of the gold stand
ard advocates who are now eXclaiming
that the good crops of 1897 will kill the
free silver cause in the west and south.
The people who are calling for the
free coinage of silver are not fools.
They know that the gold standard does
not produce the crops and they know
that under that standard, by reason of
its scarcity, their crops do not bring
the returns they ought to have. A
temporary rise in wheat, owing to the
failure of crops abroad and an in
creased demand for American products
for the time being, will not amount to
the dignity or force of argument
against the general and long prevailing
necessity at home for larger volume
of money, broader basis of exchange,
to meet the wants of growing produc-
tion and annually expanding national
commerce, both domestic and foreign. |
The cause of free silver is not cal |
amity howl, but demand for greater
facilities for business. 1t is a deter
mination to substitute money largely |
for the present check system of the
country, which has its fountain head of
credit in Wall Street and is capable of
being contracted at any time to the
of trade and commercial
life. Ordinarily, under present condi-
lions, the greater the crops the poorer
the returns, owing to scarcity of money
causing under consumption. 1t is a
piece of unexpected fortune, simply, if
a large crop is profitably disposed Of in
of short crops abroad and
occurs but once in years. The free sill
7er men want conditions that will en-
lble the country's crops to be disposed
IF at an advantage at all times, as was
)nce the case. They want the medium
If exchange equal to the task of hand
ing the crops. The farmer who would
increase his bulk of pro
lucts and not increase his means of
-etting it to market, would be simple
that is what the nation is
Ioing.
1t is gratifying, indeed, to know that
he farmers will have large crops this ,
ear, but the goldbug leaders and Or
ans are wofully misjudging the
trength and real purposes and causes .
f the free silver agitation, if they i'm
lagine that the movement is the re-
ult of calamity howl" that good
rop will drown. Free silver is now a
reat political and economic principle, ,
ouuded in justice and good reason
nd beyond the influence of seasons n
evelopments.- Lewiston Tribune. /

the erstwhile liking of the dudes is once

there was Berry Wall, or, to speak more
correctly wherever Berry Wall was there
was society. Then there came a change.
Evander Berry Wall, in the parlance, went

many of his diamonds and-then he went
to work. Now comes the news that he is
a winner once more. Quietly he has been
playing the stock market, and fortune has
not only smiled but has beamed on him. A
few hundreds have been run into thousands,
and now it is said he possesses a goodly
fortune. But there is none Of the old dis

PLAYING CARDS.
They Were Brought to Europe from
the East by Gypsies.
Boston Herald.

Boston Herald.
Playing cards are an importation from
the East and their origin is to be sought
for in the most remote antiquity. Their
introduction into Europe, which took place
about the end Of the thirteenth century,
was due to gypsies 1t must not, however,
be imagined that these very ancient cards,
derived from quarter so remote, pore
much resemblance to those now in use,
which are mainly. in point of fact of
French origin. They bore emblematlcal
figures. mysteriously grouped in accordance
employed rather for the fancied interpre-
taton of the will of an unseen God than
for amusement.
Much research has been employed in
seeking the origin of playing cards. and
there has been no little controversy regard
ing the date of their first appearance in
Europe. For q long time it was generally
believed that playing cards were first in
vented in Europe and that Jaquemin Grim
gonneur. a French painter. had first paint
ed a deck of them to serve as pastime for
the meancholic King Charles VI of
France.
That such had been the case is shown
by the fact that there are still preserved
at the Paris library seventeen cards which
had been painted by that artist for the
purpose indicated, as an account book of
the court treasurer of Charles VI cOnclu-
a certain amount paid to Gringgonneur for
three decks of playing cards, painted In
gold and colors, is duly entered; -.
Later researches have proved, though,
that cards had been introduced in Europe
before that time, and an Italian author Fe-
liciano Bussi. in the history of Niterbo cites
a passage from an unpublished chronicle
of Viterbo Nicolo de COveluzzo, wherein
it is mentioned that playing cards were
brought to Europe in 1879 by the SafacenS.
