They will be compelled to prospect dis

that the things needed could be pur-

should be fully equipeped to subsist

of mining and the difficulties of travel

to sink shaft down to this requires a

weeks of hard work in the open season
to gather fuel enough to last through
the winter for heating and working

dirt and extracting the gold can be had
only in the summer and early fall. In
some districts water flows only few

What the Victory Means.

When Seth Low, defeated candidate
for Mayor of New York, in commenting
on the result of the elections, said:
1.-The year has been heavy Democrat
ic year everywhere" he spoke Il truth
and implied prophecy.
Following the election of Il Republican
President, the passage of Republican
tariff bill, the tremendous efforts of the
subsidized press to impress the people
that prosperity had dawned, have come
a series of Democratic successes culmi-
mating in the present tidal wave. The
fact is in evidence that this has Deer
a heavy Democratic year everywhere"
The prophecy is that Democracy will
continue its triumphant march and in
1900 Democratic President will take
the reins of government at Washing

The people have spoken. They have
expressed their faith in the Chicago
platform, their belief i'll bimctallism.

Scale of Valuation.

Men able in the work for which they
are educated and known seem so often
in discussing money to be led more by
mistaken policy than by economic fact,
that even written history of law and
economics is not conclusive.
To see things as they are is a talent
to be acquired. One asks what brought
about the fall of prices, then answers:
1T is the legitimate and necessary re-
suit Of our having made gold the money
standard or scale of the valuation of
property" This comes from consider
ing money as measure of value rath-
er than as tender for payments, a le-
gal medium of exchange. 1t is fact
that we have practiced and threaten
ed a great change in payments, even
as great as in minting metals into
medium of exchange and measure of
value" or old-idea money.
But not allowing silver coin to act
as IA legal medium and making gold the
money standard are two different
things, though both might determine
q different scale of valuation. The
gold standard absolute would be far
worse, for silver is still legal in some

say that as soon as the Krupps have per-
fected arrangements on this side of the

A most touching and pOetical custom
prevails in the Welsch-Tyrol. When Il
young maiden is about to be married.
Immediately before she steps acress
the threshold of her old home on her
way to the church. her mother solemn
ly gives her Il new pocket handker-
chief. The bride holds it in her hand
throughout the marriage ceremony,
using it to wipe away her tears. So
soon as the marriage festivities are
ended the young wife lays the hand
kerchief aside in her linen closet and
there it remains as long as she lives.
Nothing would induce Tyrolese wife
to use this sacred handkerchief. 1t
may he half century, or longer. before
it is taken from its place to fulfill the
second and last part of its mission.
When the wife dies, perhaps as gray
old grandmother, the loving hands of
the next of kin place the bridal hand
kerchief over the face of the dead and
it is buried with her in the grave.

As result Of De Barry's vigorous
anti-alien work on the frontier, there is a
growing movement all along the line
among Canadian trades unions to sever
connection with the parent bodies in the
States. Recently there was formed in
Ottawa, Cam, a new body to take the
place of the Knights of Labor in Canada.
1t is known as the Canadian Federation
of Labor, and is prosecuting vigorous
anti-American campaign among the
Knights of Labor assemblies in Ontario
and Quebec, the two provinces where
unionism is strong The federation claims
that the alien labor laws passed by the
United States Congress were the result
of agitation by United States trades
unions, and they, as Canadians, therefore,
do not care to have any further nominal
friendliness where none exists. The Sc
cession of the Ancient Order Of United
Workmen from the jurisdiction of the su-
preme lodge in the United States is fair
Indication of the feeling that is prevailing
in Canada with regard to the alleged an
tipathy of Americans to Canada.

False to Silver.

The Republican party has played its
last card i'll the fraudulent game of i'll
ternational bimetallism.
For years it has held the honest advo-
Gates of Il double standard who were in
its ranks faithful to party allegiance
by the pretense that it was friendly to
an international agreement, in favor of
the re-establishment of silver to its
rights as money of ultimate redemp-
ton. The sending of the bimetallic
commission to Europe was the last re-
sort TO trickery left to the Republican
leaders. England, ruled by the money
power, will make no concessions to sill
yer, although many members of the
British cabinSt see the injury which
the single standard has inflicted on III
dia and the damage it has done to the
agricultural and manufacturing inter.
ion will make the mission of WOlcOtt
and his colleagues a failure, and the
last act of the Republican farce will
have been played.
Now the party which destroyed sill
yer and which is the firm advocate of
gold mOnOmetallism will have to come
out of its ambush and fight in the open.
1t is we'll Let the friends of silver
concentrate their forces. The only
hope for the people is in the independ-
ent action of the United States in ia
vor of the unlimited coinage of silver
mt the ratio of 16 to /. President Nc
Kinley could make himself an immOr-
tai name by aiding the cause which he
has so eloquently championed in the
past, but he will not avail himself of
the opportunity.
Hanna and Wall street are in COM
mand. The Republican party is pledg-
ed to gold, hence the fight is now on be-
tween the people, represented by the
Democracy, and the money power, rep
resented by the Republicans. The signs
of the times promise victory for the
people through the election of a Dem
ocratic president in 19OC.-Chicago Dis

Mexico tor Silver.

MexicOs great journal, the Two Re
publics, gives the following reasons
why that country will not accommO-
date the money power by adopting the
single gold Standard:
1--WE consider the silver standard
blessing for this country, and do not
prefer the gold standard for Mexico.
We do, however, prefer it Tor the Uni
ted States, for the reason that our in
terests and our welfare are now bound
I'D in this republic, and it is to theln
est of Mexico that the United States
continue on it's present basis. The ad-
vantage which otherwise might accrue
to that country now is commencing to
come to this. While the one is standing
still, or retrogressing, the other IS for%-
ing ahead at n tremendous pace; ana
that progress, though it might not be
altogether stepped, would receive Sc
rious check were the United States to
make change in the monetary sys-
TEN.
I'VE found our faith upon what ap-
We consider the silver standard
blessing for Mexico, because:
1T is furnishing Il currency which is
not constantly appreciating in value,
to the detriment of all other forms of
wealth.
1T is furnishing a currency which
cannot be corncred, manipulated and
controlled by the few to the injury of
the many.
ut is enabling the producing classes
of the republic to realize from their
products more than the cost of produc-
ton.
'It is setting in motion the wheels of
progress and attracting TO this country,
by reason of the immense advantage
afforded by the difference in exchange,
the idle capital of the gold standard

That MSiIYer Craze.V

That "Silver CraZe."
The decision of the English Cabinet
not to join in an international none
tary council has been greeted by the
Republican press as "a crushing blow
to the silver craze" in the United States.
Were the "silver craze based on
the theories held by the spectators
and money changers of Lombard
street, instead Of upon the sad and evil
experiences of twenty-four years of de-
mOnetizatiOn, there might be some
ground for the expression of an opinion
that the cause of bimetallism had re-
ceived crushing blow" But the
people of this country have been plung-
ed too deeply in disaster and have lost
too much in the value of their property
and are suffering too greatly from de-
pressed business to forget that the
cause of all this distress and loss and
suffering is the gold standard, which
England wishes to De maintained.
This stupid talk on the part of Re
publican editors is discounted almost
daily by their own news columns, and
yet they persist in babbling about the
dying out of the silver craze" The
Manufacturer of Philadelphia admits
that the revival of industries Is ham,
pered by the small amount of money
available" and says that this fact
"gives the free silver demagogue "A
powerful text ON the inadequate sup
,,lx, nf ,popov ond rutc biS ron dorS or
his hearers into a receptive mood for
false doctrines"
Thus this gold advocate admits
