Lings of Colorado to the Ilryan campaign
fund with like details of Montana's 'offer-
Ing to the cause of free slUcr. Writing
from nuttf. October IS , he eays :
In Montana , as In Colorado , there Is an
Insatiable desire on the part of the mine
owners to secure free silver. They care
nothing for parties or candidates , except as
both serve their ends. They are working
the free silver Issue purely for private profit.
It means wealth beyond the dreams of av
arice for them The politician * who serve
them arc oltter their agents or their dupes.
A. campaign fund of $303,000 has already
been raited and sent east Mucn more will
follow before November 1. 1 Dnd , however ,
that there is wholesale Intimidation of
miners to secure additions to the fund ; that
business men art * influenced to give money
by their fears of boycotting , and there l
a prevailing spirit that Is shocking to
every eense of liberty , honor and oecency.
A determination to buy the election of a
free silver president prevails.

THE ROTHSCHILDS IN IT.
The Anaconda company was a year ago th.
property of J. B. Haggin , Lloyd Tevis. Mar
cus Daly , its present manager , and thi
Hearst estate. The latter Interest changed
hands last winter. On an assumed valua
tlon of J30.000.000 the Rothschilds acqulrec.
the Hearst quarter of the property , paying
tarrefor J7.500.000. The attorney for lb <
Hearst estate was Irving Stump of Call
fornla. The banking house of Kubn , Loc
& Co. of New York and the Scligmana took
part in the transfer. The sale price. f",500.-
009 , belonged to Mrs. Hearst , wife of tbi
late Senator U.carst , a venerable and high
minded lady , residing In Washington , and
her son , William H. Hearst , owner of thi
Mirer organs in New York and San Fran
e'sco.
The pharc of the sale belonging , to Mrs.
Hearst h son was by his direction generally
to be Imotcd In
United States bouds as a
scr-ure investment. A large sum hsd been
expended in this manner when the Chlcag
cinvention adopted a free silver platform
Uy dlrert'on of Mr. Hoaist the purchase o
government bonds was stopped , ayd the
bankers began to buy gold with the money.
I am Informed by the best authority that
Jacob PlufT. the banker , o ! Kuhn. Loob &
Co. , was one of those who icnde the transac
tion. Over Jl.000.000 In gold was bough : on
account of Mr , Hearst If free rllver won
nt tht > polls a double profit waj In sight.
Hi * fil.cr inluos In Utah * \ould ba\e an
unlimited market for thtlr product , and

possibly doubled his w-crrt stock of
gold would pile up more prollti.
So tntnh for the Anaconda mine's Interest
in obtaining free silver coinage ; no much

is striving to elect William Jennings Ilryan.
Now cs to the mean. Marcus Daly , the
manager , i > ersmially cr for the corporation

1& he sort something to be gained he goes
tor it , regardless of everything in the way.
The manner In which the assessments
were collected was as follows : The shift
boss Informs OHO of those under him that
there Is a subscription brinn taken up to
aid Ilryan and free silver. 'The boys. " he
says , to the Individual minors , "are giving
a day's pay each. You will give , of course. "
HP neglected to explain that the Anaconda
owners would profit IS.WHI.OOO a year by
the success of the 16 to 1 Idea. Some of
them men contributed willingly , more did
not. but they contributed lust the same.
Ono of the latter tells the story In an
tffldavlt I secured from him. He Ik a
ornlshman. who ha * spent most of his years
n the bowels of tbe earth , straightforward
ind reliable. When he reluctantly cave
me his testimony In addavli , br said : "If
his were known my job would not be worth
week's pay. I would be chucked out ot
ho Anaconda without mercy. "
A MINER'S AFFIDAVIT.
For this reason I will omit name * and
.11 that would contribute toward disclosing
he Idenlty of the speaker , unless the facts
state arc questioned.
"Tho shift boss came to me. and calling
mo by name , said : "Are you going to give
a day's pay to the Bryan fund ? '
" 'What fundr I asked. I knew all
about It , but I did not let on that I did.
" 'Why all tbe boys re giving some of
.heir wages to elect Bryan. ' Then he
ookcd me In the eje. I knew what that
ook meant.
" 'Yes , ' BaM I ; 'I'll give It. ' "
"That was all that was necessary. If I
had not said yea I would have been a marked
man. I would have had to go In tlmo on
some pretext or other. I know that more
.ban half the men would not have contrib
uted had they not feared the consequence
The trade union would not protect us. The
officers are generally Influenced In some
way by the bosses. If wages and hours arc
all right the union is Battened. Some take
an Interest In politics. Others believe what
, s told them that they will be helped by
free silver. More than half of tbe people
believe nothing of the kind , but they glvr
Just the same. "
OPPOSED TO FREE SILVER.
Amid the vast ignorance and venality
played upon by certain sliver mine owneis
In Montana , It Is refreshing to find a great
mining authority who sees through the per
sonal schemes of these pushing silver In
politics.
I refer to Henry Knlppcnbcrg , a director
and the general manager ofthe Hecla Con
solldated Mining company ot Glendale ,
Beaverhead county.
This great mining corporation , of which
John Thomas of Indianapolis Is chairman
and Mrs. Thomas A. Hendrlcks. wife of the
former vice president of the United States
Is a director. Is devoted to lead and silver
producing and Is one ot the largest In4 I'
state and the most constant producer.
Hcmr Knlppenberg is an Intelligent , pro
gressive and successful man of business.
He exprcsred his Inveterate hostility to the
great scheme of forcing silver dollars on the
country at a fictitious value to me , as fol
lows :
I have lived In Montana slxtee-n years.
My every Interest is in silver mining. Dur
ing these sixteen years I have furnished the
world 10.090,000 ounces of silver. I have
palJ in Heaverhcad county in wages to my
employes JS.000.000. Notwithstanding all
this I am unalteiably opposed to the Inde
pendent , fret- and unlimited coinage of sll
ver because my practical knowledge , my
judgment tells me that It Is contrary to his
tory. experience and common sense.
"I love hnnwty. I deny the legislative
power to assert value. The great commer
cial world knows , recognizes and bows to
ono authority , supply and demand. If gold
has appreciated , doubled in value , tbe only
way to meet the doubling Is to reduce the
gold dollir one-half in weight ; then the 1C
to 1 standard would be honest nnd no man
cheated In silver dollars.
"The very fact that It is nought to double
the value of a silver dollar by legislation
h a confe lon that tbe gold dollar Is worth
100 cents. No American citizen should
cheat hlm&elf with the delusion that he Is
a patriot because he may offer his mis
fortunes as indicative of the need of specia'
laws to fit bis particular case.
"I would scorn that law that would make
me the beneficiary of an injustice to
another. Tbe man In public position who
will permit himself to be swerved'from the
path of duty to all by any class or by any
clamor l tbe enemy of hi * country and
especially the enemy ot the tery class he
serves either as a mistaken or a cringing
slave.
"Integrity , moral and financial. U the
foundation of true character. This holds
good In national ah well as Individual
ll.'e.
DISHONEST AND RUINOUS.
"The proposition of free , independent and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to 1. when the commercial value is 3 ?
to 1. is dUhoncst and must result in ruin
To say that by legislative action you ran
create values te to assert a falsehocd. If
U true , then the law ot supply and demand
is false , and our poor world has been for
6,000 years doing business on a false basis.
"If It Is true , then we have at lusgth
found the key that unlocks the door.
Henceforth , by order of congress and the
signature of the president of tb United
States , 'water ehall run up hill. ' The law
of gravitation shall forever be suspended ,
and eicry man ehall reap without
sowing. Mlcnos * and ; debauchery shall
bring plenty and happiness. Repudiation
is honorable and Integrity Is a fraud.
"The whole qutatlnr. is based upon as
sumptions. I do not know of a single na
tion on earth thJU claims that we as a
nation can make by our own action the
commercial value of tllver go up to $1.29 -
an ounce. This resumption is patented by
the silver party of the United States.
"I have great faith In the common people.
I have uo faith in the common , time-nerving
for-what-there-is-la-lf politician. He is the
cnomy of home , fireside und good morals * '
Since the United States congress wat
never able from 1S34 to 1S73 to keep silver
and gold circulating at a parity when there
ws only 3 cents difference in the maiket
price of tbo bullion at 16 to 1. Mr. Knlpptm-
berg sect bow Impossible. It would be today
whsn there Is 49 ceau difference between

ing Line.
With only the width of a street between
them and free silver the republicans of
Nogalta , Ariz. , last week adopted as their
sentiments , the following :
"We stand for the re-monetlzatlon of sll-
\er , but we demand such a solution of the
problem Involved , that , while It shall re-
open the abandoned rllver mines of Arizona ,
it shall not reduce the purchasing power of
the dollars Inhlcn are paid the wages of
American wnrklngmcn. as we ha e seen re
duced the purchasing power ot the dollars
lars in which are paid the wages of Mexi
can worklnsmcn In our very midst To that
end we favor International bimetallism , as
proposed by tbe national tepubllrsn plat
form , R3 being the only monetary policy
which can rehabilitate silver without Im
poverishing the worklnsmen of the United
States. "
Nogales Is the best placeon the border
to study some phases of the silver ques
tion , writes Walter B. Stevens , staff cor
respondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The difference between the two stan
dards ls Impressed forcibly by the peculiar
conditions. A street called International
cuts a community of about -1.000 people In
halves. Along this street Is a row cf cus
toms eentry boxes. The 2.000 people who
live south of International street are on
.Mexican soil. Those- who live north of It
are underthe laws of the United States.
The bout of feeling prevails between No-
gales. Mexico , end Nogclcd. Ariz. When
the governor of Sonora comes up the line ,
the leading citizens of the American Nogales - i
gales banquet him. When the revolutionists [ j
made their midnight raid on the Mexican I
custom house a couple of weeks ago , the j
first defenders to arrive with effective Winj j
cheaters were some of the residents of No-
gale-s. Ariz. , who , having pressing bualj j i |
ness engagements , had not retired. When
the Nogalc-s company of the national guard
of Arizona turned out to cele-
brate the Fourth of July , the captsln
marched his men to the flagpole from which
floated the stars and stripes and fired a
salute. Then ho marched them ecro s ths
line to the Mexican customs house and fired
another salute , to which the collector re
sponded by dipping the Mexican colors.
These things are mentioned to show the ex-
ccedlngly close relations between the International -
national twin cities. Mexican merchants
keep their accounts in American banks.
People of the two cities chop indiscrimi
cutely on both sides of the line bearing In
mind only the respective tariffs on certain
classes of goods. Mexican customs guarus
sit in the little sentry boxes. American
customs guards with stars stroll up ana ,
down International street. People who go1
across the line carrying ba&kcts or buudlcs j ;
stop and show tbe contents to the guards , j
and then pass on. This inspection Is tae j
only outward evidence of the dividing llne i
between the two Nogales. The Sonora trains J ' '
which run south to Guaymas use the same I i
depot as do the New Mexico and Arizona I
trains which run north to Benson. They back i
up to the line , one train hsaded north and I j t
tbe other south. Sometimes they come |
together with a bump , which ccts the auto-1
matlc couplers , and the Interesting spectacle :
Is witnessed , as was the case the other night , I
of the railroad ot the United States and I J
the ferro carril of Mexico trying In vain i j
for ten minutes to pull apart. Hut with all
this commingling and close association of
interests the 417 grains of silver and alloy
stamped Republic-ana Mexlcana Is worth
only half as much as the 41IH grains of
silver and alloy stamped United States of
America. Side by side the coins circulate
In the two Nogales. If you go Into the
depot of the Sonora News company and as ; .
tbe prlco of a newspaper , the answer Is : I
"Five cents American , 10 cents Mexican. "
And you v > 111 look twice at the coin to dis
tinguish one dime from the other.
OPPOSED TO J'REE COINAGE.
It is a significant fact that the leading
newspapers along the border between Mexico
and the- United States are strong advocates
of sound money. This Is true everywhere
except in El I'aso. where the Times is
-ti'ong Ilryan organ. Juan S. Hurt , the
elltor. is a practical mining man. He be
lieves in free Oliver to such a degree that if
the democratic national convention had gone
the other way he would have been a bolter :
today , supporting a free sliver ticket. But
Mr. Hart is one of the very few border
newspaper men who take that Bide of the
question. At Laredo Captain E. M. Tarver ,
the editor of the Larado News , for nearly
a third of a century a resident of tbe border , i
Is ono of the stanchfst of round money men.
The San Antonio Express , which Is near
enough to the Rio Grande to appreciate the
object leison In free silver , U as strongly
committed agalntt the coinage lunacy as
any paper In the United States. Here in
Nogales Captain Allen T. Bird lets no issue
of the Oasis go to press without a vigorous
presentation on the subject. He has lived
nearly all of his life in what -called "the
great silver west. " He came to Nognlcs
from California n free sliver man.
1 have gradually become , " he slid , "by
erring the operation of the silver stand
ard here , on the border , a confirmed gold
man. "
"In tbe course of my varied experience. "
he continued. "I was a railroad man for.
twelve years In California. I ran a train
for $110 In gold. The man who has got that
jilaco receives the seme or about the came
A suit of clothes which cot me $5 *
when I WBE running thct train costs the man
who holds the job now $30. Shoes which
cost me ? C. cost him J3. A shirt that was
$3 then is J2.25 now. My successor naa
adjusted himself to the present conditions.
Ho in living now as well on J110 ns I. when
1 had that place and salary In 1S73 , could
haip lived on $ SOO. Thinking in that way
made me dubious about the free coinage ex
periment. What I saw here has confirmed
rce that we cannot afford to try It. "
"In hUElneex lu these two towns , " con
tinued Captain Bird , "both Mexican ana
American inonny clrculite , The storekeeper
keeps two price lists. He quotes to the cus
tomer tl'o price In either kind of money. At
on time , a few year * ago , before the bul
lion valup of silver hal fallen much below
the colnare vuluc. the Mexican dollar , which
contains six grain. " more of pure silver ,
would buy in Nogales as much as the Amer
ican dollar would. At that time wages were
the same In either Nogales. A carpenter on
the Sonora side was pal < 173 a day in Mexican
moiey. A carpenter on the Arizona side wcs
paM $3 in American money. The purchas
ing power was the same. Then came the
fall of silver. Bullion fell in the London
murk el. Nogalex storekeepers adopted two
prlre lists These lists hare been getting
farther and farther apart But wages In
Mexluiu money did not follow Acrors in
Souora the pay in Mexican money is the
same number ot dollars that It Is on the
Arizona side in American dollars. Now see
where we are as regards the- purchasing
power. Here Is the double price list from
one of our Nogales stores , showing just what
the merchant sells today for an American
dollar nnd what be sells for a Mexican
dollar. "
WHAT ONE DOLLAR WILL BUY.

ingiccn ha\e been gradually subjected. U
Is , In my opinion , manifestly to the Interest
of American worklngmen to vote for the
retention of the present standard until by
International arrangement there may be
brought about a bimetallism which will
not cut In two the value of their dollars. "
Captain Bird has been , by turns , a printer ,
a railroad man a miner and an editor. I ° 4 :
owns frankly to a radical change in his
vicv.-s on the silver question as a result of
his fctudy ot It In Its home Mexico.
THE ONLY SOLUTION.
The strength of sound money sentiment
even among those Interested In silver mines
In this pan of Mexico Is astonishing.
George E. Bent Is known from Mexico to
the British border as a mining man. He Is
now the manager of oae of the largest
groups of t-llver mines In Mexico , at El
Plorai. He does not hesitate to say that
International bimetallism is tbe only prac-
tical solution of the ellver problem. Mr.
Fred S. James , who is president of the
same company. Is even more emphatic In
his declarations. He says international bi
metallism Is the only thing that can raise
silver to Its place and that tbo republican
party Is the only one that can bring It
about. Mr. James and Mr. Pent , with many
other silver miners in Mexico , having hf-
fore them the experience of this country ,
believe that the success of Bryan and bin
roilcy will do their interests more harm
then gcod. They want to see sliver given
recognition , , but the" believe that recogni
tion , will be delayed rather than htlped by
Bryan's j election.
Sound money sentiment In Sonera Is not
confined to Americans. Many of the leadIng -
Ing Mexicans r.rc looking forward to a time
In the ne-sr future when their country will
be on tbe same mrnetary basis with the
more advance ! nations of the world.

of ' the Grenavo hacienda. In the Yaqul
river : country , one c-f the prominent men
of ' Sonora Senor Terazo has been follow-
Ing ' American politics In this campaign , and
has become a little confused. Unable to see
how the democrats can achieve what they
pretend 1 to expect , ho thinks they must
have ' some- hidden purpose which he has
not : divined.
"What do they really mean by 16 to 1 ? "
he ake-J.
"The- ? think by legislation to make 1C
ounces of silver worth one ounce of cold. "
was the reply.
In Mexico it is customary to speak of the
metals in ounces , not dollars. Ecnor Tera-
: o's face assumed a br'art smile , as If the
democratic theory air.nMrtl him. la view
cf Mexico's cxpcrlcncd with free and unlimited -
limited coinage of .
"What effect will ll'JiaVe on Mexican sil
ver if the democrats slic ; ( | < d in making 16
ounces cf silver vorth onp ounce of geM ? "
ho asked. .
"Well. Mexican sllnjr will be worth as
much as American silver. A Mexican del
lar will he worth an ASncfjcan gold dollar. "
"In that case , " sald.Sctfor Teraro , laugh
ing heartily , "I'd like : to sec the democrats
succeed. "I've got a lot nf Mexican dollars
I'd like to exchange 'at' .even money for
American gold. " ' '
Having had his joke , , Sv'nor Terazo spoke
more seriously.
"I've been following thp argument of this
quc-stlon for some Un > e , " he said. "I've
roine to the conclusion th t Mexico will soon
see the expediency of ccJng to the gold
standard. 1 belltve that , Jf Mr. McKlnley
is elected It will be only 'a short time until
Mexico will be on the' side standard as the
United States and jhe other leading nations
of the world. "
