ROOTS GLORIOUS VICTORY

Senator Root OF New York In his
speech against the currency bill
called it an imitation measure and
referred with pride to the defeat
of Bryan in 1896. A few days af-
terward, Senator Reed of Missouri
replied to Root and also referred
to 1896. He said:
The orator took us back to 1895
and in fervid phrases discussed the
GLORIOUS victory" the advocates of
sound money and honest govern
ment had then achieved. He told US
of the patriotic legions that stood
and battled to save the country
from an appalling calamity.
Mr.. President if there is one page
of our country's history to which
no stand-pat Republican ever ought
to want to turn his eyes, it is the
campaign Of 1896. l wonder that
any man dare use the word 'hon-
esty" when speaking of that "tri-
umph." Why sir, in 1896 there was
saturnalia of corruption such as
never before disgraced the politics
of this country. In 1896 you had
a proud victory, did you? Ry what
means did you achieve it?
can understand how the soldier
who upon the field of battle, in
fair contest and by honorable
means, overcomes his enemies may
feel some sense of pride as he ex-
hibits his wounds and recounts his
deeds of valor, but cannot COM
prehend the individual who boasts
an advantage gained by fraud,
trickery, deceit, oppression, brib-
cry, and crime.
"In 1885,! Why you have just
heard the Senator from Nebraska
tell how in that campaign coercion

temerity to attempt to intimidate

SHIP MINING
SUPPLIES BY
PARCEL POST
NINA MERCHANTS SEND OUT
PROVISIONS TO MINERS IN
ISOLATED DISTRICTS.

One day last week we stepped into
the Nina postoffice and found Post
master Guy L. Eckley with the per
spiration rolling down his face, wrest
ling with a pair Of scales, while
heaped all around him were several
hundred pounds of bacon, cans Of
coffee, buckets of hard, flour and nu-
merous other varieties of groceries,
says the Nina Miner. Asked If he
was going into the progeny business,
Postmaster Eckley explained that he
was merely weighing up parcel post
packages for the outgoing mails, as
the merchants Of Nina were availing
themselves Of this convenience of
Uncle Sam to reach their customers
in the outlying mining camps.
One of the largest-if not the larg
est-bill of goods sent by parcel
post by southern Nevada mercantile
concern was sent out this week by
S. M. Summerfield of the Nina Mer-
camille company. 1t consisted Of 274
pounds of assorted groceries, and
was consigned to a prospector-miner
who is developing group of claims
near one of the little mining camp
postoffices that conveniently decorate
the Southern Nevada deserts. The
shipment, which was brought almost
to his door, saved him hard and
weary trip with his faithful burros
across so miles of desert and the
same distance back to camp. This is
quite an improvement over the old
method which the old pioneer pros
pectors had of getting supplies.
] Speaking of the matter, Mr.. Sum
merfield says that the prospectors in
the isolated camps are more and
more taking advantage of the parcel
post to have their supplies laid down
almost at their doors, and realizing
what the non-arriyal Of these sup
plies mean to the average prospectoi
out in his lonely cabin, in the hills
we give all such orders prompt atten
tion and preference in order to catcl
the mails that go once twice O
three times a week to these littl,
camp postoffices. Instead of the us
ual questions at these little postot
fices of "John, did | draw a letter te
day?' it is now. John, did m
bacon, pancake flour, coffe and tc
, baeco come today?" Postmaster Eel
ley says that if this thing keeps u
he's going to ask the government 70
an appropriation to add an extensio
to his present quarters.
