Ou other matters of public policy his views are equally pronounced. IIu believes that with laws yielding adequate revenues tho gold reserve may be easily maintained without bond sales or costly efforts of other kind. He has argued at lentil that the retirement of the greenbacks Is therefore both un necessary and undesirable, contending that so long as revenues are adequate the greenbacks, which cost the people nothing, constitute the very best cur rency possible, a currency absolutely convenient ami tibsoltiiely safe. This view is radically at variance with that of Mr. Gage, the new secretary of the treasury. Mr. Sherman strongly opposes a prohibitive tariff that will foster mo nopolies. He is outspoken in his hos tility to trusts uml in his desire that the laws for their repression and punish ment shall ho rigorously and vigorously enforced. Govkknok P;siihkk of Michigan , elect ed by republican votes, said recently: 'Prosperity? Fiddlesticks. There can be no prosperity so long as tju country is nt tho ino'cy of tho money-lenders. The social system is out of joint. We need a law against great fortunes. Men fgrm combination and put their hands in the jackets of tho poor. They never take from those who have, hut steal from those who have not. Wo need men willing to stand for equal rights, ami wo want men who bawl for equal lights to take a hand at practicing equal rights. The public is lieing milked for the sake of a few, and the thing has got to stop before there can lie any relief. Gold-standaid talk has had its (lay. There will never bo another republican convention which will write that word in its platform, and that is what the jieople want. They will have learned by that time that prosperity does not necessarily come by the election of any one man to the presidency, and that prosperity cannot come until the laws are radically changed. Michigan would have gone for free silver, but tho gold men scared the people to death witli their calamity howling and the pi onuses Speaking of the McKlnloy inaugural hall a Denver paper says : The mills are closing. Lot the ball go on. Fifty-thousand men are starving in Chicago. On with the dance! Honest men contemplate robbery to to get the comforts of prison. Let joy bo tinconflned. Men work for starvation wages and aro glad to do so. Let the hall go on. If fifty-thousand men aro starving in Chicago, how many hundred-thousand men aro starving in the United States? And this is the grandest, 'greatest most expensive, most gorgeous inaugural that the republic ever saw. Increase the regular army. Let the halt go on. Consolidate the newspaper trusts ami the federal courts, and Let the hall go on. Here's a cheer for the dead already, And hurrah for the next that dies. All Humors of tho Blood, from the small pimple to the dreadful serolula gore, are cured by Hood's Siirsapiirilhi of prosperity whvse Bundiino is that of which tlinroiijjhly purities, vitalizes an Paradise Alley." DEEP SHAFTS. Capitalists aro loth to invest in a quart, niino unless they aro assured that it fully holds its own, in size ami value per ton, at u considerable detail. Prospects are not in demand. It has boon suggested therefore to some of the nine owners in tho Trail Creek district, 1?. C, that they combine for the purpose of sinking a deep shaft in one or more representative claims for the purpose of demonstrating whether the ore bodies hold out in size and value with depth. The sinking of tlio Kennedy shaft in Amador county, Calif., to a depth of 2200 feet, and the proof thereby that the ore body is as large ami rich as in the upper levels, has done much to in crease tho value in the minds of the owners of properties on that belt for a long distance. Had this been done years ago there would now be many moro deep shafts along the S erras than there are. In South Africa the deep shafts are proving the value of the mines in deph, and as a result there is no hesitation alniut sinking on other mines at very great expense. There they had the ad vantage of largo capital which is not available in this country, where a largo majority of the mines are being worked by men of small means who can hope to make development at great depth only out uf the profits of the upin-r workings. Kaiulsburg, in the Moj ivo desert, is a good example of tins. uli the mosl Ooniiiiicssman' Fowler of New Jersey asserts that the United States could double its. present, stock of gull, estimated at lfiiOl,000,000, without the world's knowing it. The idea contained in this assertion is that there is so little need of gold at the present time that one seventh of the entire world's stock could bo secured by an issue of bonds without the least jar to the credit of governments from which this gold would be obtained, and that the world's credit system is now so highly developed that little debt-paying money is needed. At the sumo time, Mr. Fowler and his school of financiers consider the existence of f jOJ,000,000 of non-intercut bearing notes a menace to prosperity. Tho New York Chamber of Commerce resolved a few days go that prosperity would not come until there was a general revision of our currency system. Prosperity, therefore, is waiting for tho redemption of the government non-interest hearing notes The fact that the govern men t redeems all tho notes that are presented does not hold out to prosperity suflicient security to warrant an advance. It seems, there fore, that there is one kind of credit that cannot dispense with gold. nIt is to the Union that wo owe our safety at home and our consideration and dignity abroad," said Daniel Webster on tho senate floor. If ho was living today ho would express a differ ent opinion. Whonevefii foreign power inaltreals an Englishman, British war ships immediately call it to account and deman i full satisfaction.

The record of strikes compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that tho strike, as a weapon of labor against capital Js rapidly losing its force. Labor has not kept pace with capital in the formation of powerful combinations. United labor has not the wherewithal to battle against united capital. Tho only recourse for labor is united, fearless political action. The ballot is its weapon of peaceful warfare, with which it can absolutely control the national government and every state government in the union. Music for the Girls.

An old book quaintly says that "when the whole system is pervaded by well oxygenated blood, vigorously propelled, life and activity are copiously com municated." Which means that when the blood is purified by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilhi, perfect health is the result.

It must have dampened the ardor of the Nicaragua canal lobbyists when congress recently put a quietus on the bill to authorize the government to issue $100,000,0110 guarantee bonds for the construction of tho canal. If the bill had Wcomo a law, it would have been necessary to guarantee a second issue of bonds, since, according to a promising outlook on tho surface, none ! rtTort ma,1 8Uue ti:" a l,y thlvo of tho mine owners have sunk deep enough to prove that the mines will hold out in depth. engineers appointed by the government, the canal would cost $133,r)O0,0OO.

The mistake is often committed by tyros in placer mining of estimating the value of a pan of dirt by the number of colors it shows. An ounce of gold can ho divided into 4,000,000 colors, each visible to the eye, and about 2,000 of these colors would lie required to make a cent.

Boyce's Big weeklies, the Saturday IIi.aiik mid Chicago Lkikikk, have lieen heard from again. The enterprising publishers of these papers have reeendy "gone into color work" that is, they have added to their immense establish ment in Chicago, a complete outfit of machinery, apparatus, etc., for the pro ductions of colored pictures, such as have made several New York dailies famous. The Boyce Company are constantly studying how to please the 2,500,000 read ers (if their weeklies, and this recent ef fort has cost them upward of f30,00t).
