Spanish bull fighters get salaries as
large as those of exceptionally great

than 540,000 in one year, and owns near
Cadiz, a villa and park, where in the
winter he entertains his friends with
lavish hospitality. Mazzantini has
$400,000 invested, and it is a bad year
when he does not earn 550,000. Keverte

Commission of Eneland. given on the
fourth day of March, 18S7, H. II. Gibbs,
then a director and ex-governor of the
eaiiK 01 rngianu, ut-uueu uhuciul.o. which is of the
as follows:
1. An open mint, to which every
man may bring either gold or silver
to be coined.
2. A fixed ratio which the gold and
silver coins are to bear to each other.
3. The enactment that the money so
coined shall be legal tender to any
amount of the option of the payer.
Any limitation upon the coinage of
either or upon its legal tender, de
stroys one of the fundamental princi
ples upon which bimetallism rests. The
other at once becomes the standard,
while the one subiected to a restric
say he can get an ounce of silver,
or its equivalent in gold, for a bushel.
But measured in American money
gold standard, that
ounce of silver is only worth about
one-half as much as it was in 1873. So ,
that while the East Indian is receiving
the same price as formerly for his
wheat, the American only gets about !
half as much as he used to. The very ,
moment silver began to decline in the
English market it acted as an induce
ment to the English exporter to buy
wheat in some silver-using country ra
ther than the United States. He could
first buy the silver at a profit, and then
buy as much wheat with a given
amount of silver as he ever could. This

terms and this principle cannot act. who have been benefited by the appre-
ciation of gold.
WHY NOT COME TO US?
The one which can be freely coined will
always be in stronger demand than the
other, and. consequently, of greater
value.
Nor is this merely a theory. It is a
principle as well established as the law
of "supply and demand." In fact, it is
one of the most perfect illustrations
of the working of that law, and its cor
rectness has been proved by seventy
years of European monetary history.
In 1S03 France threw open her mints
to the free coinage of both metals at
the ratio of 15V2 oz. of silver to 1 oz. of
gold, and this mint ratio controlled the
relative market values, not only in
France, but everywhere, up to the year
1S73.
In 1S1G England adopted the gold
nandard, and at once put forth an un
usual demand for gold. Had there been
no bimetallism in France, gold would
immediately have risen greatly in
value. Ae it was, though, a large part
of the gold required by England was
furnished by France, but the demand
of the latter for silver to take the place
of the gold withdrawn by England op
erated c.s a compensation, and prevent
ed the silver from falling or the gold
from rising, except to a very limited
extent.
Again, when the American civil war
broke out. England was forced Jo turn
to India tor cotton. She had no silver,
and the East Indians had no use for
gold. So England exchanged large
amounts cf gold for French silver.
This, combined with the immense
gold production of California and Aus
tralia, grained France of a large por
tion of her silver. The conditions of
1S16 were now reversed, and England's 1
extraordinary demand for silver was
offset by the French demand for gold
to take its place, and again the parity
was preserved. . i

The Omaha Platform Contains Your
Silver Creed.
If our republican and democratic
friends could only realize the fact that
the main sources of information from
which the people of their respective or-
ganizations have derived financial wis- j
dom have been nrst tne old greenDacK
party and later the people's party, the
political situation would be simplified.
The goldbugs in both old parties are
planning to head off the silverites, and
the republican and democratic silver
men are planning how they can head oft
the populists. Yet the populists (who
include a great many of the old green
backers), are the very chaps who have
persistently kept up the agitation of the
financial question.
While the two old parties were quar
reling over the tariff, which is now
"played out," as Mr. Bland truly says,
the populists were making a fight on
the money question, the real issue.
Had it not been for the agitation kept
up by the populists the free silver coin
age 16 to 1 men in the two old parties
would have been snowed under long
ago.
Don't imagine, dear democratic silver
brethren, that the gold wing of your
party is the least bit afraid of you.
They fear the growing strength of
the people's party will cause you to
slip out from under WTall street's thumb.
The goldbugs will, if they can, keep
you from joining us, for in unity there
is strength.
You learned much of your silver doc
trine from us, and you know it. The
Omaha platform contains your silver
creed.
We are making the only straight fight
on the money power, and the money
power knows it, and hates us.
Were you to join the populists politi
cal chaos would come like the crack of
doom.
Knnnins: Doable Capacity.
In the year 1894 the De Kalb Fence ,
Co. of De Kalb, 111., doubled the ca- ;
pacity for producing their lines over '
1893, which gave them an output of ;
20 miles per day. The demand for their j
good3 has been so great the past sea- !
son, that in order to be able to supply i
their trade, they have been compelled
this year to double the capacity of 1S94,
which now gives them an output oZ 40
miles per day.
This in itself speaks well for their
product and merits the attention and
inspection of our readers, and all that
are in need of smooth wire fencing of
any kind, and it will be to your inter

There's a difference between being full of thanks
giving, and being full of Thanksgiving dainties.
But the one thing generally leads to the other. How
-an it be helped when the turkey is so good, and the
pie so enticing? Here's a helpful hint. For that
full feeling after Thanksgiving take a pill. Not
any pill, mind you. There are pills that won't help
3'ou. Take the pill that will. It's known as Ayeis
Pill and it's perfect. It is sugar-coated, pleasant
to the palate, and its operation, like that of nature,
is effective and without violence. Keep this in your
mind if you want to enjoy the holiday season:
Grace before meat, but a Pill after Pie.
