below ali sometmes above real value
or actual cost of IH'odlcton. This Is
the true relation of sliver to Its market
11'lce. Hemonctzaton at II t 1 Is an
a lelpt to give silver un artilicial price

When the advocates ot free coinage
get down to business principles and do-
\nnd I ratio basel on relative value ,
so that I silver dollar will represent
10 cents of the stamlurl \el emi the

slton to 'nuafntain their demands wIth '
SOIU degree of consistency. While
pUblc mel In the sl\'e' states lack
thc moral courage to eXllress their
honest conviction on the silver question
uuiuie-temithis of the men eligaged In minIng -

of railroads west of the nocdes and

before the introduction

cesses . wOlld dlcrfuly consent to free
colnuge nt the ratio of 25 and - 1 , enl
there Is no doubt that all the sliver
mines that yield any product worth
handling would be running In t\l blast '
itt that ratio. But the politicians anti
visionaries will still keel on camoring
for free coinage at 10 to 1 mud thereby re-

Of silky corn in sunorner time ;

For lovelier brown vas In imor hair
.Antl siikier brown fell o'er her eyes ,
Anti , fairer than her gardamu fair ,
I saw a comnhmmg paradise.
I breathed mvlth imer the imeavy musk

Anti ran behind lieuIn time dushc
And dreamed I walked close by her aidl
Somnehmow the lerfumne stole my breath ;
Somehow tIme niooimbcnmns qucuiched cry

And there I kissed the lips of Death-
Yet. lived , with her. in l'am-a-disel
At morn I found her where hushm grass
Lived , specked with lilies , white and iarge4
Aim , solemiu clouds that pause and pass
Afar from sea-green marge to marget
Yet shmen I hook again to see
That onie sweet face of nil most ss'Ise ,
Across a dark Inllinity
Glows evermore that paradise !
At night the glow-worm heid his hams ,
Against her forehead pure mind white' .
And ( Iowa the greensward , coot and dam
She wandered minstreL of ( hue night
I hear her ofteum when I tread
The soft turf where I know she hies-
Tlmey count hoer name among the dead.-a
Then flames my surer paradiset
If in time realms of amethyst
And plains where buds are b1ossomin. .

My cimildimood's dreams of isiradise.

Ited like her lips ; and there along
Time broololet grow the tasseled stalks ,
Aflti thither heats thu robin's song.

Wan moonbeams overfill my eyes- '
I dream , and tonidle with hmer hair ,
And call it all my paradise , ,
