The city council has passed an ordin
ance prohibiting houses of illfame with
in the elty limits with penalty for viola
tion ranging from five to fifty dollars.
Whether it is designed as a source of
municipal revenue by the collection of
lines evory month or the result of an
effort by certain parties to rid the town
of fallen women remains to be seen.
]lut if the latter why not include in its
provisions the scores of old and young
married and single male prostitutes
whose licentiousness is responsible for
the existence of these unfortuhate wo
men. Or, why not reverse the matter
by letting the women go and arresting
und fining the men who hold commerce
with thein ? -Of course none but a
crank wo ;ld advocate the latter pro
liosition, but no moro a crank than he
who, every time his liver gets out of
whack imagines the Lord has commis
sioned him to reform somebody and al
ways commence on that ever reliable
scorce of material, fallen women, whom
he wants to save by turning her out of
town—never once turning his attention
to poor fallen man.—lloise Democrat.

COEUR D' ALENE MINES.
F. W. liradley superintendent of the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan, gave to a
Helena reporter the following account
or operation in the Cœur d'Alene coun
try:
"The Bunker Hill and Sullivan is
running at full capacity, with about 350
men, as many as we usually figure on
finding work for. The Last Chance is
running with somewhere near 125 men,
and tho other mines around Wardner
are doing something with leasers. The
Helena & Frisco is probably doing a
better business than any other mine in
the camp. There has lately been a new
piant put in, and the air compressor
now in use is probably one of tho larg
est In the west. The Standard is run
ning a 3000 foot tunnel, and is making
rapid headway with it, too, for there is
twenty men at work on it all the time.
That mine has also taken steps to im
prove the mill, has added a Bryan mill
for grinding the tailings, and increased
the capacity to 400 tons a day. The
Gem has just struck the ore body on the
400-foot level from the drain tunnel.
The Poorman and Tiger, which were
consolidated some time ago, nre being
treated to an increased plant and a re
arrangement designed to make the
work more economical, but that work
has not been completed and the pro
party la not being worked io its full
capacity. The Morning and Hunter, at
Mullan, are working at practically their
full capacity. Those mines were the
wee that were shut down the longest of
•ny of them during the trouble. °
"There is no longer any talk of labor
troubles in the Cœur d'Alenes. That
day bas gone. Times are getting better
all the time, the men appear to be well
aatiafled, and the feeling of unrest that
for ao long a time pervaded the country
has given place to one ot confidence in
the future of the country. And lead
and silver aro both on the rise."

EASTERN BIMETALLISM.
A Maine Farmer Give!» Ills Views In
the Farming News—Worth Reading
T he T uiihjnk publishes the follow
ing with the distinct understanding
that it does not endorse one word of
it, and merely for the purpose of en
abling its readers to inform themselves
as to the eastern view of the money
question. The communication was
published in the March number of the
Springfield, Ohio, Farm News, which,
by the way, is a strong anti-goldbng
journal;
"From such newspapers published in
the west as have come under my no
tice, I see that the impression prevails
there that the general sentiment in the
east is gold mono metallic. There was
never a greater misapprehension.
The sentiment in the east is almost
unanimous for bi-metaliism. I have
never met a person who expressed him
self opposed to it. There may be in
dividuals among bankers or college
professors, who are gold mono-metal
lists, but we are only aware of their ex
istence by occasional articles in some
of the reviews or magazines.
Among the people they have no fol
lowing whatever. Both the great po
litical parties always declare emphat
ically for bi-metallism.
Here in the east when we talk bimet
allism we mean it. Unlike a large
class in the west who talk bi metallism,
but mean silver rnono-raetallism, we
talk and mean bi-metallism. What we
want is the concurrent circulation of
both metals. There is in this country
over 81,200,000,000 in coin, about equal
ly divided between gold and silver. We
wish to retain it in circulation. We are
opposed to any policy that would drive
one-half of it out of circulation. It is
well known, in fact no one here has the
cheek to dispute, that silver coinage, at
the ratio of 1(1 to 1, by this country
alone, means anything but the imme
diate withdrawal of 8000,000,000 from
circulation and the contraction of the
currency to that amount. It is regard
ed here as a sinister attempt to place
this country on a silver basis. If the
16 to 1 policy becomes the leading issue
in the next election it will be opposed
by both political parties in the east, on
the ground that it means silver mono
metallism. There has been a great
deal written upon the free coinage side
of this question; a vast amount of dust
has been raised that tends to obscure
the real issue. We care not for irrele
vant questions. We cannot waste time
vjuconvua. »V e cmiiiOb waste lime

is a danger that overshadows all other
issues.
- Every oivillaed nation has endeav
ored to maintain the double standard.
It was always considered desirable to
maintain the concurrent circulation of
both metals. It was found exceedingly
difllcult, however, to succeed in doing
this. One or the other of the two met
als would disappear from circulation.
This was owing to Gresham's law that
"the poorest money drives the best out
of circulation." This law is recognized
throughout the civilized world. The
coinage laws of evory nation have in
variably been framed in accordance
with this law. It is essential that cor
responding coins of both the metals
possess the same value; and their value
is determined in the markets of the
world. Under free coinage, coins of
both metals circulate at their commer
cial value. Ilence, every nation here
tofore has always endeavored to fix
the coinage ratio at precisely the com
mercial ratio. The uniform experience
of every nation has proved that any
variation from this rulo results in the
disappearance of the under-valued
metal from circulation. At this time
the commercial ratio between gold and
silver is about 32 to 1; and to establish
the coinage ratio at 16 to 1 would render
gold nearly twice as valuable as a com
modity than as money, and consequent
ly it would immediately withdraw from
circulation, thereby placing the country
on a silver basis. Some of the free
coinage leaders have admitted this; but
the great body of their followers are
not aware that such would be the re
sult.
The free coinage party is sailing
under false colors. They profess to be
what they are not. They call them
selves what they are not. For what is
bi metallism? About the year 1867,
w hen the first monetary conference
met, and perhaps a few years previous,
up to 1873, there arose in Europe the
two parties, mono metallists and bi
metallists. For bi-metallism the lead
ing writers were llenri Cernuschi
Wolowsky, Andre, Leon Say, Laveley,'
Count Schlopis, Courcelle, Leneul and'
some lesser lights. They all held that
it required the combined effort of the
leading commercial nations at a uni
form ratio to maintain the double
standard. Not one solitary bi-metal
list at that time but would have called
it folly for any single nation to at
tempt to maintain a bi metallic cur
rency alone; or to fix on a ratio other
than the existing commercial ratio.
On the other hand, the people of the
east, against whom the 16 to 1 free
coiners are hurling their anathemas,
hold the identical doctrines advocated
by those able economists of a genera
tion ago who were the original bi-met
alllsta. We don't object to anyone ad
vocating silver monometallism; but
such have no right to sail under bimet
allic colors.
It may be claimed that the leading
commercial nations will not enter into
any bi-metallic arrangement; and
therefore, that international bimetal
lism is impracticable. In that case let
us do the next best thing. This coun
try can carry a large stock of silver in
dependently of other nations, as the
Latin union has done; and the nearer
the commercial ratio we keep, the
more, relatively, we can carry. If we
cannot do what we want to, we must
do the best we can under the existing
conditions. All the leading commer
cial nations, today, are on a gold basis,
and if they continue to remain on that
basis this country will not join the half
civilized nations of Asia and South
America who are still on a silver basis.
That is not the direction modern civil
ization is moving.

THE MOST IMPORTANT METAL.
The most important, as well as the
commonest, metal of the world is iron.
It is almost everywhere in nature. We
are bombarded from cosmic spaces by
meteorites of nearly pure iron; the
spectroscope finds it in the stars so dis
tant that the naked eye see but empti
ness in the abysses wherein they burn.
It makes a twelfth part of the crust of
the earth. Its particles are mingled in
the dust of every country road, in the
air we breath, in the water we drink, in
the food we eat. It is the great collor
ist of nature. Even the red of our
blood is due to its presence.— Ex.
