The Mill Completed.
Thomas Jones, the millwright, returned yesterday afternoon from Orleans Flat, where hé has been superintending the erection of a quartz mill
on the Metropolitan mine. The mill
is of the Merrill patent, the crushing
being done by means of heavy wheels
or rollers. Mr. Jones informs us that
the mill works smoothly and very satisfactorily, having a erushing capacity
equal to a fifteen-stamp mill and working équally well the hardest and softest rock. A Pelton water wheel drives
the machinery. The Metropolitan is
the mine that was owned so long by
George Abraham and sold not long ago
toa San Francisco company. A large
quantity of ore is on the dump and
there is plenty of good quartz in sight
in the mine. :

to Canada; the greater part of the indebtedness having been incurred east

There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Enstachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed yon have a rumbling sound or .
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-.

ances before the monetary powers and
with the decree of 1879. still in force,
Bismarck saw an opportunity of dumping come German silver op the sly and
. promptly proceeded to deo. In 1885
the Egyptian government decided to
change its coinage and invited bids for
contracts to coin its silver piasters. The
German mint secured the contract to
make the coin and incidentally farnished $8, 189,600 of silver bullion to Egypt.
The matter was kept very quiet or escaped general notice. Reference to it
will be found, however, in the London
Economist of Deo. 4, 1886, which saw in
it a proof of Bismarck's lack of faith in
silver.
With all his faults, Bismarck is a
sturdy patriot. To help the German
distiller he was willing to see trichine
in every American pig, and to~ protect
the German farmer he smelled bugs on
every American potato. Germany. has
today 107,000,000 worth of silver
whose value is declining. If the United
States could be induced to follow the
example of Egypt and give Germany a
. chance to do some more unloading,
where is the harm, from the ex-chancallor’s point of view, in writing a letter of not entirely disinterested advice?
The Silverite Strong Man.
Just watch the great Mr.
Bryan, the Silver Samson
of the Platte, as he performs his -.:::ld renowned
feat of raising the bullion
value of silver from 67
cents to $1.29 per ounce
with his big ‘‘free silver’
hammer. My, ain’t he
strong!
Why Dees Not Mr. Bryan Answer?
Mr. Bryan telis the farmers that free
coinage of silver will give them cheap
dollars with which to pay their debts.
Mr. Bryan tells city workingmen that
free coinage of silver will raise the
metak t¢ $1.29 per ounce, bringing the
silver dojiar to par with the gold dollar,
thus giving city workingmen another
dollar as good as the present one with
which to buy the farmers’ products.
That is to. say, to the farmer the
Bryan silverdolJar is to be a cheap dollar to pay debts with. To city labor the
Bryan dollar is to be a dollar of high
purchasing power to buy with.
Free coinage of silver cannot produce
these two dollars. It can produce only
one of the two. Why do not would be
supporters of Mr. Bryan ask him which
dollar he really means?. Both the farmer,
who wants to pay debts, and the workingman, who must buy farm produce,
are interested in having this question
answered.—Chicago Times-Herald.

One Point on Which Republicans, Demoerats and Populists Are Agreed.
In the little community of Traver, in
Tulare county, a committee of citizens
was appointed to canvass the community relative to its present condition as
compared to its past condition under
Republican. administration. Republicans, Democrats and Populists were Intrviewed, and their views were published under the above title, and they
agreed very substantially as to facts,
though there doubtless was not the
same degree of harmony as to cure for
the trouble. Room can be found for
only one statement of the case from
each party, but they are to the point
and good to think over.
FROM A REPUBLICAN.
David Burris said: ‘In 1892 I employed in hay-making an average of
eighteen laborers and my monthly pay
roll was $585. In 1896 with the same
acreage 1 only employed ten laborers
and my average monthly pay roll is
“Mutton sheep sold in 1892 for 4 per
head; in 1896 $1.50 per head. I sold
my spring clip of wool in 1893 for 11}
cents. I am offered 3 cents for my fall
clip of 1896.
“Fat hogs sold for 5 cents in 1892 and
are only 2 cents now.
‘My opinion of the shrinkage of valaes in reai estate and improvements is
fully one-half now as compared to the
prices prevailing in 1892.”
FROM A DEMOCRAT.
J. M. Clark is an extensive farmer.
[fe said that ‘wages of common ranch
nands in 92 was $30 per month. We
a0w pay the same class $20 per month,
although Miller & Lux and many others
gay only $10 per month.
“Fat hogs were worth 5 cents per
pound in 1892. There is no sale for
chem now.
‘Land has depreciated fully seven2ighths since 1892.
“J yrubbed out 320 acres of raisin
rapes ‘because there was no pay in
chem.”
FROM A POPULIST.
C. W. Elliott said: ‘Land has shrunk
in value, as compared in 1892, about
two-thirds. :
“T traded a good span of horses for
3000 feet of lumber worth $16 per thousand.
“Hogs were 5 cents in 1892. They are
now 2} cents.
“Peaches (dried) sold for 12} cents in
1892. They offer 3 cents now.
“Hay was $6 per ton in 1892. It is
$2.50 now.
“Fat sheep were $3.50 to $4 in 1892.
They are.$1.50 now.”
He discharged his hired help lately
snd is doing what he can alone; can
not afford to Mire men with prices at the
present ruinously low figures.
As to the condition there is substantial agreement, and the agreement as
to the cause of this condition ought to
be as substantial.
Take wool, which fell so that Mr. Burtis can get only 3 cents now; whereas
he did get 11$ cents in 1892. Is there a
Democrat who will hoid that the cause
of it was not the taking off of the protective tariff? ~~
Take mutton sheep, which in 1892
sold at $4 per head, and now sell at
$1.50. Is there any man who questions
that what killed the wool industry also
forced upon the market mutton sheep
in such excess as to reduce prices?
Take land. The fall in the value of
land in the vicinity of Traver has, according to above statements, ranged
between one-half and two-thirds of
its value in 1892. Did the appreciation
of gold in three years dothis? Grant
what no sound money man would think
of granting, that the appreciation of
gold is measured by the depreciation of
silver. Silver in 1892 was worth on an
average 87 cents per ounce. Until recently, in 1896, it has been worth 69
cents an ounce, a fall of about 20 per
cent. Grant that this measures the
appreciation of gold, and even then an
appreciation of gold of 20 per cent would
not account for a depreciation in land
to half or one-third, of wool to one-third,
of mutton to less than half, of hay to
half or one-third. We must look elsearst special sale of FALL: GOODS, which Bee

where to-find the cause.
Why not look at the self-confessed
failure of the Democratic party to conproperly; to’ the Wilson-Bryan tariff,
which admitted wool and shoddy free;
which closed down American factories;
which cut off consumption on the part
of the people so that, according to an
estimate made by the statistical department at Washington, the people of
the United States consumed two and a
1894 than in 1892, a shrinkage of consumption among our own people
amounting to as much as six consecutive California wheat crops? Why do
men not look at these things if they are
really anxious to learn the causes of
hard times ? i ‘
And where shall men look for a cure ?
Why, to the party and principles whicl
maintained unexampled prosperity in
this country for-more than thirty years;
to the tried and true leaders of the Republican party who know how to conduct the affairs of government, having
learned by practice and by precept.. If
the fall of silver did not produce this
unfortunate condition the rise of silver
can not cure it, :
On the other hand, if want of confidence in the integrity and capacity of
the managers of a political party; if a
low tariff and free wool and free shoddy;
if the shutting down of our factories,
the throwing out of employment in San
Francisco alone of 14,000 people engaged in mannfacturing enterprises—
offer new specials every week.
