BI FIFTY GOOD BBASOKS WHY The American People should Favor the Free Coinage of Silver, The Busy Man Cafi See Why it Should Beueflt Hiin and tlie IVhole Couutry to Return to the Money of the Constitution. 16. Because the silver dollar would necessarilccpntain 100 cents' worth of silver anefbe worth a dol lar anywhere. ? l1- Because ;that silver dollar would be a better dollar than the Present silver dollar, for this con tains only 53 cents' worth of silver. 8 Because, if the present silver Pilaris dishonest, it was the gold People who made it so by demone tlzing silver by the "crime of 1873." 19. Because the dollar under free coinage would contain just so much wer as the silver dollar today, and "is dollar buys 100 cents' worth every day. 2. Because if the mine owner ffl take 53 cents' worth of silver to je mints and get a 100 cent dollar i !t the laborer may do the same ,pr' Because the miner gets a 100 jnt dollar, then there is no such jjjje as 53 cent dollars in circula- I?2- Because it is funny if the Jlar. can be a 100 cent dollar to emine owner and onj a -2 cent 0 "ar to the laborer. 3: Because every dollar that m circulation means the sale of f ne commodity of the installation 24lPpal in business. . Because free coinage means Sln Prices. , 1 . 25. Because rising prices mean more profit in business and more new industries and enterprises. 26. Because more industries mean more employment. 27. Because more employment means a lessening of the supply of labor. l J 28. Because more employment means a greater demand for labor. lhus by increasing the demand and lessening the supply you raise wages. 29. Becanse free coinage means nearly twice as much money in cir culation, and with an abundance of industries, factories, mills and en terprises of all kinds in operation. 30. Because the employers, mak ing more sales and more profit, will 1 pay higher wages. ! 31. Because free coinage will make the dollar nearly twice as easy I to get, thus making debts nearly twice as easy to pay. I 32. Because the gold people are dishonest and refuse to print in their newspapers the silver side of the question, while the silver people circulate the New York Journal as a campaign democrat, and that paper prints the best arguments from the very best gold advocates, which shows that the siherites do not fear. to, have. both, sides., beard; being confident that they have by far the better of the argument. 33. Because the wage earner will be benefitted most by silver and the Wall street people decline. 34. Because all the labor organi zations have arrayed themselves on the side of free silver, and-they gen erally know their own business. 35 . Because the capitalists have all arrayed themselves on the side of gold, and they generally know their business. 36. Because wages have fallen n per cent under the gold stand ard. 37. Because the goldites resort to shallow sneers instead of argu ment. 38. Because there is not enough gold in the world to do one month's business only $2.50 per capita in the world . 39. Because there is only $22.90 per capita in this country, counting all kinds of money, and less than half of that is in circulation, the rest being tied up and hoarded. 40. Because free coinage will raise the price of silver by giving it use and cheapen gold by taking away the demand. 41. Because Blaine said the maintenance of a gold standard would produce widespread disaster, and his prediction came true in 18 years. 42. Because the silver mines have never yet and never will pro duce more than enough silver to supply the world's nations with coins and the arts with silverware, and there can be no over-production. 43. Because it will not injure our foreign credit, but will improve it and invite in foreign capital by our increased prosperity, just as capital is now rushing to Japan, , 44. Because only about 4 per cent of our business is with foreign nations, and of that is with nations that lavor silver. v .45- Because McKinlev says it will cause an oversupply of monev, thus raising prices, while Harrison says it will drive out gold, making money scarce, and thus lowering Ibices. "46. Because the Hon. uurke Cockran says both of these are wrong and the London price of silver will make the price here, and conse quently the price of all commodities here will vary as the London price varies. I 47. Because free coinage will 1 benefit the people of the silver states only in common with the people of I the United States, giving to all that which the act of 1893 took away. I 48. Because Mexico has pros pered and kept the purchasing power of her currency stable under free coinage, and her labor in many cases is far better off than ours. Why does she not change to the gold standard if dissatisfied? England w.ould help her and welcome her as rone of her financial colonies along with the United States. 49. Because President Andrews of Brown university is neither a luna tic, anarchist nor mine owner, and he says: "There must be a change if we would avoid bankruptcy. With free coinage, every industry would look up. Never since slavery days has the press displayed such disregard for truth and such stubborn obtuse ness," etc. 50. Because free coinage means continuous prosperity, employment and higher wages, government of ahe people and by the people, and not government of Hanna for the trusts and by the plutocrats.

I v M ""aw"""""" " " naMnMnoBBHMHr" H to come West and find a field in H which to exercise his talents, as in !; H the days of yore when the Indian i H crop was good. Ex. H "Rain is a very poor substitute of H irrigation," say we inhabitants of , H the arid regions. The present irri- h H gation system is also a very poor m H substitute for the scientific one which J H we will at some future day be com- s H pelled to study out and adopt. Ex . . H Utah County is not marked down i" H on the maps as a producer of honey, ( 1 ' fl but nevertheless the carloads of that ' article which have gone East this H season from this section ought to re- H ceive attention next time the atlases j H are revised, Utah Industrialist. H WHY BEES WORK IN THE DARK. ' M Every one knows what fresh honey ' , ijH is like a clear, yellow syrup, with- !l out any trace of solid sugar in it. 'IIH After straining, it gradually assumes 1; 9 a crystal appearance; it candies, as lk fl the saying is, and ultimately be- H comes a solid mass of honey. It i :AM has been suspected that this change ' fjH isfdueto photographic action-r-thc !H same agent which alters the molecu- KM lar arranegment of the iodine of sil- j jM vei' on the excited collodion plate I H and determines the formation of 5H camphor and iodine crystals in a LB bottle, causes honey to assurrje a l crystalline form. M. Scheiber en- UH closed strained honey in well-corked II 1 flasks,. some of which hekept in per- ' fjl feet darkness, while others were ex- " nfl posed to the light. The result has II been that the portion exposed to the J "I light soon crystallizes, while that .1 kept in the dark remains unchanged. I Hence we see why the bees are so j I careful to work in the dark, and I I why they are so careful to, obscure ' ul the glass windows which are some- ,rB times placed in their hives. The '.' existence of the young depend on I I the liquidity of the saccharine food I presented to them, and if light were ' I allowed access to this, in all proba- I bility it would prove fatal to the in- -I mates of the hive. ': A red-hot fight is going on in Eng- , land against the use of birds in trim- ' -W ing ladies' hats. We suggest a com- ' promise. Let the ladies use the ' plumage of buzzards, crows, sage- ' I hens or sparrows, but spare the larks, i ' I robins, orioles, canaries and mock- l'!' ing birds. Salt Lake Tribune. J I Or in 'other words, discard bird i I plumage altogether. If, however f I the feathers of the buzzards, crows I etc., were ''doctored," as so-called 'i I sealskin and other wearing appearel 1 I is, the bird singers would not be dis- I -I turbed, and the ladies would be none Slrfl the wiser.
