QUESTIONS FOR ARNOLD.

Mr.. Arnold claims that the para
mount issue in this campaign is the
money question. This being the case,
he will certainly not be averse to an
swering a few plain questions.
Do you believe the reconciliation of
silver would double the value of all
commodities?
Do you believe that by a legislative
act the United States government could
make four billions of silver worth twice
as much a it is now? If so, could it
by law quadruple the value of silver?
Do you believe in maintaining the
parity Of the metals at a ratio of 16 to
l, or would you prefer to see the nation
go to the silver basis?
Do you believe that under free coin
age wages would at once double, as we'll
as the products Of labor, or would it
take a long term of years for wages to
be raised by the new condition. during
which time there would be a loss of
hundreds OF millions to the laboring
men?
Under free coinage how would the
working man be enabled to obtain more
OF the necessaries and luxuries Of life |
than under the present system and how
would the bondholder be deprived OF

One of the stock phrases of the DEM

One of the stock phrases OF the DEM
ocracy is that our debts are far in ex-
cess OF our volume of money. They
assert this with a smirk and a wise
look and ask how in the name OF heav-
en- we are going to settle our obliga-
lions. The question is easy, and has
been explained many times, but still
there are those who spring 1t upon ev-
cry occasion where they believe the
creduilty of their listeners can be i'm
posed upon. The Denver News has
been guilty of publishing something
like 1t in this campaign. We heard the
answer illustrated the other day in a
clear and forcible manner Money is
like one of the mighty engines OF the
Union Pacific. When the engine is US
ed for pulling an enormous freight
train from Laramie to Cheyenne it is
not thrown away, but pulls another
train back. So with money. After 1t
IS used 10 cancel n debt it is again
used to cancel another, and so on and
so on till a single dollar may pay off
thousands OF dollars worth OF obliga-
lions. If every man was compelled to
keep on hand at all times sufficient
money to pay all his debts, there would
be no object in going into debt at all.

THE PARTY OF THE PEOPLE.


That the republican party is the
party of the people, and the democratic
party is under the sway OF a few poll
ticians must be plain to an observer In
Wyoming if he gives the least atten-
tion TO the operations OF the TWO po-
liticai parties. In one case there was a
gathering of self-styled managers at
Casper to portion out the nomlnatloh
to be placed on a platform thai a
been constructed weeks in advance by
a Cheyenne democratic once holder.
On the other hand there was a a
represented convention at Douglas,
which adopted a platform n noml-
mated a ticket. In all the counties OF
the state the same comparison holds
good. The old time-worn machine
democrats in Laramie county met to-
gether and put up a ticket, and the
wishes of the majority OF the voters OF
the party were ignored. But the one
gallus' boys, as they are called, noml-
mated the republican ticket, n TINS
was the case in nearly every county IN
the state. In Sweetwater county the
coal miners came to the front, showing
their faith in the republican party as
the champion of the working men.
We suppose there are still democrats

Gem OF Consistency
One of the amusing gems of consist
which have become noticeable in
the campaign is the fact that some of
the democratic speakers and most of
the democratic papers are asserting
that the tariff has had nothing to do
with the rise in the price OF wool and
sheep and cattle; and then again these
same speakers and papers declare that
their party, II in power, would have no
intention of changing the present tariff
law. Now, II the Dingley tariff does not
benefit the stockmen OF the state, why
do not our friends of the opposition ad-
vocate its repeal and the substitution
OF a tariff law that would benefit this
state.-Wheatland World.

THE Slaves of the Silver Serpent" in
Colorado are the most abject slaves we
ever knew and their worship is more
abject and brutalizing than was the
ancient worship of Baal.
1t is surprising that the average
demo-pop can't be made to see the dit
ference between the single gold stand
ard and gold ~monometalism. How
many different standards do they want?
Do they want different standards for
yard measure, for pound weights, or is
a single standard good enough for a
bushel measure or a gallon? Or are
they mad because the republican party
insists upon keeping our silver dollars
as good as gold dollars?
For a party that processes to pose as
the special champion Of the working
man, 1t Is amusing to hear the demo
Gratis swear at the republican city ticket

Many Injured.

BOSTON.-(Spccial)- The bodies Of
six fremen, among them that of Dis

from the ruins of the Bent Building
which took fire at o'clock Saturday
morning
The building burned was a fye-story
structure on Merrimac street, occupied
by G. w. Bent & CO, manufacturers
Of beds, bedding, etc.
The fire is supposed to have started
in the rear Of the fourth story. The
iircmen had entered a window, and
were at work on the fourth floor when
the roof collapsed tearing away the
top floor ana the one on which the
fremen were engaged, bulyIng them
beneath.
The alarm was sounded at 1858. The
building was filled with the most in
hammable materials 1t was joined
on the east by three-story tenement
on the west it was separated by a mar
row alley from a similar structure,
while IN the rear Of the tenement
houses, on South Margin street, is Il
narrow lightwell
SO quickly did the flames spread to
the fourth and fifth stories that with
in few minutes the three upper sto-
ries rear and the third story front
was seathlng furnace of flame, and
there was no prospect that the firemen
would be able to save anything above
the second story.
The fight was made at the start by
the stairway, but soon the ireman
were driven back by hot air explosions
and a suffocating smoke, and Were
obliged to fight from the other side
Two aerial ladders were raised on the
front as were also several long extern
sion ladders, while streams were car
ried through the South Margin tene
mcnts. from the back windows OF
which floods were poured into the
fiery furnace
The fire was nearly under control a
the time Of the accident.
