lie favors reciprocity treaties with
countries whose pro ! nets do nut compete
with our own, but oppoF.es reciprocity
with Canada.
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. National
courage pays. The Hag ot i,nglanl is
respected tho world over. The Spaniards
despise the United States and insult
and abuse American citizens in Cuba
because the administration has not had
the patriotic valor to shield and protect
them.

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. Ono grain of gold may K

Boyce's Big weeklies, the Saturday

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). If
this is not enterprise then we are not fa
