THE FUTURE OF SILVER

Ever since the beginning of the
European war, certain financiers OF
New York and London, have predict
ed that sooner or later, the countries
now at war would be compelled to
return to a bi-me' allie basis, on nc-
count of the boarding of the gold that
is now the only recognized standard.
Moreton Frewen, of England, said
to be the most reliable authority on
bimetalqism known, has freely pre-
dicted that at the close of this war,
the countries par icpating therein,
would from compu.s,on, be obliged to
resort to the double standard, and
all signs point to the reliability of
his stat ement.
Not only have the Allied powers.
but the Central powers also, been
coming large sums OF silver into
money since the war began, but each
country has issued vast quantities of
silver certificates backed by silver
bullion, that must be redeemed when
the war is ended, in coin.
When the war Is ended. there is
no doubt, but there will be am inter-
national agreement among nations,
regarding the universal coinage of
silver at a certain ratio, and 1T be-
hooves this natiou, as tie greatest
silver producing nation on earth, to
see that ratio is so fixed as to
make our silver values somewhere
near $1.00 per ounce.
As New York City in the future is
destined to be the money market OF
the world, this nation If properly rep
resented at an international congress
will have great weight in the fixing
of I'm international ratio, and IT Is
the duty of congress, that they take
such steps as will safeguard this ma
tion's interest when tie time ar.
rives.

INCIDENTAL MINE

The Incidental mine in Russell
Gulch is now down 200 feet, with lev
els started both east and west from
the shaft at the 100 and 200-foot sta
tions, and workmen are now engag-
ed in sinking 20-foot sump.
At the 100-foot levels there is ex-
posed in each breast a solid streak
of smelling ore from 6 to inches
wide worth $50 per ton alongside of
some feet of rich concentrating
ore. From the 100 to 2OO-foot level
this same body of ore is in evidence
and drifts are now being staa,ted on
the 200 each way that show equal
ly as good as at the 1O0-foot levels,
and Manager Shull will soon be dn
a position for a heavy and steady
output.
This mine IS financed by Pittsburg
Penn, capital who will soon realize
handsomely for their outlay. The
company is to be congratulated in
the selection of its manager, who
had the Judgment and foresight to
start the shaft from surface (after
careful survey OF the gromnd) ;,
where he considered the greatest
ore bodies lay, and was rewarded by
continuous ore body in the shaft
to its present depth. And when all
improvements are complete, we wdll
look to the Incidental as one of our
great and steady producers of the
county.

CARRANzA STRONGER THAN
EVER, ARREDONDO SAYS
LegiSIata Movement, He Says,
Is Designed to Injure
Wilson's Chances

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE Legal
ista movement in Mexico was today
characterized by Eliseo Arredondo, Mex
lean ambassador designate to the Unit
ed States, as attempt on the part of the
anti-Carranza interests to injure Pres
ident Wilson's chances for reelection
This assertion was made in the first
account given by the ambassador of his
recent visit to Mexico City, where he
conferred with General Carranza and
other officials of his government.
1.-THE Legahstas believe that if Mr.
Hughes is elected" the ambassador
said. they will have another opportun-
ity to present their case to the United
States and seek assistance for it from
the American people"
Mr.. Arredondo said that in making
this statement he did not intend to re-
fleet upon the Republican party or its
policy toward Mexico in any way, ex-
pressing confidence that If the party
were brought into power by the Novem-
Der elections it would be just in its
dealings with the Carranza government
I'm Mexico City" he said, Officials
are not worried because of the Legalis-
tasi they are wholly occupied with prep
arations for the presidential elections TO
be held in February"
Conditions in Mexico show steady i'm
provement, the ambassador said, despite
the destructive effects of the revolution.
Economic, military and civic reforms
are being inaugurated as rapidly as pos
sible and published reports of suffering
because of hunger were said to be great
ly exaggerated, the government having
received complaints on this score only
from localities where bandits are oper-
ating.
81 found the Carranza government
better consolidated and stronger in ev-
cry way" the ambassador said. than
it has been at any time since it was es-
tablished. Normal agricultural pur-
suits are being taken up by the people
and the corn crop this year exceeds
any within twenty years"

7. R. FINDS COAL MINERS
NOW SOLID FOR WILSON
Threat of Force Necessary to
Get Colonel Hearing in
WiIkeSbarre
By RALPH SMITH.

wILKESBARRE. Pa. Oct. 15.-An the
influence of the mayor and city officials
was required here today to keep within
bounds an exuberant outburs of Wilson
enthusiasm by the $1,000 coal miners to
whom Colonel Roosevelt appealed on be-
half Of Charles Evans Hughes at the
armory tonight.
The Roosevelt meeting had been care
fully staged by the Hughes managers
on the theory that his handling of the
anthracite strike in 1902 mad endeared
him to the miners and would insure him
such aception as to impress and con-
vince wage earners all over the country.
Instead. the Colonel came to a town
seething TO see things with Wilson senti-
ment. 1t took the threat of armed force
to guarantee him even the traditional
courtesy and hospitality due to a promi-
nent citizen. II was not that the miners
disliked Roosevelt, they were for VIII
son, wanted the world to know II, and
had planned a parade. They had prepar-
ed banners prOclaiming I'VE love you,
Teddy. but we're going to vote for Will
son." I'VE want peace and plenty" and
I'VE want the eight-hour law, vote for
Wilson
Today's developments confirmed the
fears of local Republican managers that
Colonel Roosevelt's capital and labor
speech would be delivered to an audience
in which working men friendly to the
Hughes candidacy would be a negative
quantity. Their troubles began a week
ago when the anthracite district was
combed for some prominent leader of
the miners who would consent to sit on
the platform. The net result was a bas-
ket full of firm but courteous refusals.
Not a man prominent in the miners
union could be found willing to serve On
the committee or sit behind the colonel
while he told how he settled the strike.
