It is scarcely necessary to defend the principle of bi- metallism. No national party during the entire history of the United States has ever declared against it, and no party in this campaign has had the te- merity to oppose it. Three parties— the Democratic, Populist and Silver parties—have not only declared for bi- metallism, but have outlined the spe- cific legislation necessary to restore silver to its ancient position by the side of gold.

They succeeded in gaining admission to the house and left the pianc. He demanded to know what right they had to enter his home in the absence of his family and in- formed the agent what it would cost to get the piano out again and advised him not to remove it until some mem- ber of the family opened the door. Presently the mill man's wife came along and the piano man was glad to pay the bill and remove the musical machine.—DuBois Erpress, Work Begins at Scotia.
