The Silver Record.

Silver made a record price yester-
day. The purchase for the United
States Mint's subsidiary coinage
was at 7OI3 cents per ounce. This
is the highest price it has command
ed since the Sherman silver pur-
chase act passed and failed to ae-
complish anything permanent to-
ward the restoration of the white
metal.
Silver and gold, though their an
cient partnership Of parity has
been dissolved, are working hard in
a new alliance which is devoted to
demonstrating the correctness Of
the quantitative theory of money.
Likewise, if it were needed, they are
doing something for the demonstra-
tion of the law of supply and de
mand.
Silver's price in the world market,
measured in terms of gold, has in
. creased so per cent since November,
1902. In that month it got down to
j. A cents; now it is above 20,
and likely to continue rising. Gold
has proved the inaccuracy of every
prediction made about it. In 1906
p anybody would have said that if the
whole world adopted it as the stand
ard, its price would immensely rise.
I Likewise, anybody would have said
that if the last remaining silver or
bimetallic countries should drop
silver. its price would shrink Yet
the reverse has happened. While
all the world was tumbling over it.
self TO get fairly on the gold basis,
gold was falling in value Just
when the nations had Withdrawn
their support from silver-it began
to rise.
There is nothing marvellous about
st With an augmented demand for
gold better methods of mining and
reducing were devised. and its pro-
duction increased at unheard of
rate. Silver, on the other hand.
ceased to interest capital or pros
pectors. It's production fell off, and
the price began to rise. Then the
increasing demand for it as a sub
sidiary coin restored a large and
certain demand; and it has been
mounting upward in price even
faster than it travelled down the
toboggan but a few years ago.
The future is hard to guess. Pre-
dictions of today might be as far
wrong as were those of 1896. Re-
newed activity in silver producing
will naturally result from it's in
crease in value. The worlds supply
of silver has hardly been more than
scratched in all the centuries of its
use for money-and that use is
older than the monetary circulation
of gold. With assurance of good
profits, there viii be new activity in
silver mining and the price may
very reasonably fan as that of gold
has fallen.

When Clara Lpman wrote Julie

HONESTY IS SATISFACTORY

The morning spite-campaigners now
say they must get into the police sta.

For two years they have had Grand

had u Pinkerton detective as well as
their private detectives chasing round
the town In search of LIGHT against
Brown.
For months they had In the Sheriff's
Office VIM. Henry, as successor TO
Brown. and with ample facilities to
produce LIGHT.
They have stopped just short OF
criminal perjury in court, in their cam

Supervisor Adams In which he tried
to make the public believe that more
LIGHT was needed against Brown. He
failed.
