as follows:
Zone party fsvors large standing
armies, immense public expendi-
lures. a government of grandeur and
magniHcence, high protective tariffs,
q British colonial policy, great COM
binations of corporate wealth and
centralized government. The other
party favors q continuance OF the
plain and simple government of our
fathers. public expenditures limited
TO the actual necessities of the gov
eminent, tariff taxation for public
purposes only, an army for defense
and not for conquest, competition in
business free from monopolistic COM
binations."

VACANT PUBLIC LAND.
There IL Plenty Left for Those

There IL Plenty Left for Those
who Desire IL. -
The annual report of Land Com
missioner Hermann, which will prob
ably be made public in a few days,
will show that there is still plenty of
vacant public land which can be
taken up by settlers under the home
stead laws. Il shows that the total
area of the land surface of the United
States is 2,270,557,4 40 acres, of which
929, 3OS ,06S acres are still unappropri.
ated. This is over one-third Of the
total area Of the United States.
OF this vast area of public land
there are 43,sO4,507 acres in Utah.
AZ, 996, 40S in Idaho, 4%8,777,443 in
Wyoming, and 1925, 74O in Nevada.
II is true that a large proportion Of
this land is arid and not subject to
cultivation without irrigation, but with
the present methods of irrigation it is
expected that large tracts will soon be
taken up by settlers who will soon
convert them into tillable lands on
which paying crops a be raised.

Pennsylvania has not changed mate
rally during the week. The num-
Der of striking miners. however, has
been increased by several thousands,
but every effort is being made to
maintain order. A large number OF
troops have been sent to the dis
turbed districts for the purpose of
protecting property and guarding
the lives of such men as have desired
to go TO work; but thus far they
have not been called upon for active

act of violence, and the officials OF
the Miners Union are confident that
the fight will be wsged TO q finish
without any serious violation of law.

A rRAIrOR To silver.

In an editorial review last week OF
Mr.. Bryan's letter Of acceptance. the
San Francisco Examiner. which. by
the way, is posing as q Democratic
newspaper, revealed its true atti-
tude on the silver question. 1t said:
I'm his condemnation Of the banknote
and perpetual bond features of the Repub-
lican financial policy, Mr.. Bryan is in har-
mony with public opinion, but it is a pity
that he has felt compelled to drag into re-
newed prominence the dead issue OF the
free coinage Of silver. Much can happen
much has ~happened-in four years.
What was possible in 1896 is impossible
nov There Is no longer any effective de-
mand for free silver. The Republicans do
not want it; the Democrats do not want
it-even the Populists do not want it."
II what the Examiner regards as
the Republicans" the Demo
Gratis" and the "Populists" do not
want free silver, the great majority
of the people. not only of the United
States, but of the civilized world, do
want il, and what is more, they are
going to insist upon having it.
And why do they want IL?
For the reason, principally, that
with the mints open to the free COIN
age of silver, any man who has sill
YER bullion can have it coined into
money. That money is returned to
him and he can proceed to put it
into circulation in any manner he
sees fit; but with the single gold
standard there is practically but one
way in which money a be gotten
into circulation. thus rendering it
easy for the most gigantic of all
trusts-the money trust-to control
the money markets of the civilized
nations which they have induced to
adopt the single gold standard.
Ofcourse the money power does moi
want free silver, for that mean prac :
tical competition, and provides a
means for getting money into circu-
lation without passing through the
hands of the Rothschild syndicate,
which has fastened its clutch upon
the finances of the world.
The fact that this money power
does not want free silver is the best
reason why the people should want
it, and why they should insist upon
having il, and further still, why they
should repudiste any newspaper
which comes out openly and espouses
the cause of the money trust against
the best interests of the people to
whom it looks for support.
If there were not an ounce of sis
yer in the mines of Nevada today
this State is vitality interested in the
success of the free silver movement,
and so is every other State, for that
matter, no matter what may be its
geographical position.
