THE MASSES OF THE PEOPLE.
These Are the Intelligent. Advocates Of
Free silver.


These Are tho Intelligent. Advocates Of
Free silver.
There are some writer's and speak
ers who would have US believe that the
free coinage of silver would be an ex-
pertinent "a leap in the dark as it
were; that the enactment of such law
would be something new under the
sun and would be frought with meal
culable dangers to the people of our
nation. They seem to have forgotten,
if they ever knew. that for more than
three-quarters of century prior to
1873, the government operated under
a free coinage law, and it was only
through the manipulation of congress
by the money power of the east that
silver was demonetized. The Bland
act of 1873, was only one step back to-
ward free or unlimited coinage. That
act only provided that not more than
81, 600, 600 a wonth nor less than g.
900, 900 month could be coined, but
the money power exerted an influence
tomehow, which even kept the coin
age down to the minimum, which in
fact was about the same as if the law
had only provided for 100000 a
month. Instead then of free silver
coinage legislation being an expert
ment, it would only be an enactment
of the old law, with which no class but
the moneyed aristocracy of. the east
was dissatisfied, and through whose
diabolical legerdemain it was annulled.
After Rip Van Wrinkle nap, the mass
es have awakened to the enormity and
Nervousness of the deed perpetrated,
when in 1873, silver was demonetized.
Nothing but lack of understanding
on the subject has delayed the fight;
and now that the people see that they
are wronged, woe to that individual
seeking political preferment or that
political party who turns deaf ear to
the demands of free coinage.
1t is noticeable fact that the advo-
Gates of free silver are the masses of
the people, while the majority of those
who oppose it are found in the north
east. New York is the headquarters
of the money power, the creditor
class who favor the gold standard and
oppose the free coinage of silver. Gold
is worth 20 cents on the dollar more
than silver, and the gold bugs know
that if they can compel debtors to pay
their obligations in gold, they would
collect 20 per cent more than is due
them, hence the bitter fight waged by
Wall street and its allies against free
coinage of silver, or an increase of
circulation in any way is due to sell
fish desire to fill their own Golfers even
if it does bring wretchedness and mis-
cry to millions of their fellowmen.
We don't believe the farmers will
allow partisan politicians to sidetrack
them on the silver question. In all
the state and national conventions of
the farmers, among the demands for
mulated were not only one asking for
a reduction of tariff taxes, that the
of taxation should be taken from the
necessaries of life, etc., but another
demand just as urgent was that silver
shall be restored to it's place as money.
And the efforts of individuals or poll
teal parties to divert the attention of
the farmers from the silver question as
a national issue will, we believe, prove
futile. journal of Agriculture.

The Worlds Coinage for 1890.

The worlds coinage in 1890 showed
falling off instead of an increase as
compared with that of the preceding
year. According to the figures of the
deputy master of the English mint the
decrease has been about $40, 600, 900.
The coinages of the last three years,
according to this authority, have been
as follows:

United States are in distress, because
Russia drew a few million dollars in

ENDED HIS LIFE IN JAIL.
Death Of the Disso1ute Son of San
Francisco Judge.


Daniel w. Lake, dissolute son OF Judge C.
Lake, of san Francisco, died in the receiving
cell of the city Jail last evening from causes un
known. He was arrested at o'clock Saturday
night by Officer NJ. Powers. who preferred
charge of vagrancy against him. IL is not known
at what time he died. At O'Clock last evening
Jailer Noble went into the receiving cell, where
were two other men besides Lake The latter
was lying on his back on bench, his hat
drawn over his eyes, apparently sleeping. When
the outer door was swung open by the jailer
food of light was let in.
"See how white Lake isr' exclaimed one of
the prisoners, noticing the face of the out
stretched man.
The jailer attempted to arouse the man, but
he was cold in death and had probably been
dead several hours. The body was removed to
the morgue and his father. who is judge in the
superior court of California, was telegraphed
The coroner decided that he must have died of
alcoholism.
Lake was S6 years of age and was quite a no
torious character in the Northwest He served
q term for larceny in the Multnomah county
jail at Portland, was driven out of Tacoma by
the police after having served several terms for
minor offenses, and has been in Jail in Seattle
upon various charges.
He escaped from the prison at Victoria some
months ago while charge of theft was pending
against him. and since then he has been lodging
houha IN the various sound towns. For the
past several days he has been hanging around
Whiteehapel dives and when he was found by
Ofheer Powers on Washington street he was ar
rested for vagrancy.
AT times he would promise to reform and hay-
ing been given a good education would find M
difficulty in getting job on the Sound steamers
as assista Mt freight clerk or at some similar
work. He served steward on the wasco and
several other small steamers He would get
on a drunk, however. lose his position and in
week or so be in Jail for some petty theft

GRADE ASSESSMENT ARREARS.
Comparison of Comptroller's Figures
With Present Expenses-Schedu1e of
Proposed Salaries.

The discussion taking place over the state
ment of the city's financial condition made by
Comptroller Ferris and the effort being made by
the city council TO reduce expenses, increases in
intensity as the time approaches for q new tax
levy. Mr.. Ferris estimates that at the end of
this year there will be deficiency In the mis-
eellaneous funds of the city OF 1895 IS,
assuming that the Seattle funding bonds, now
before the supreme court, shall be declared
valid aud the proceeds be all in the treasury by
December 81, 1891. He also includes all taxes
licenses, fees, water rents etc, that the city
would then start on January L, 1892, with a new
financial departure depending on the taxes
and other sources of revenue for that year to pay
its way. Mr.. Ferris estimates that next year
the current expenses will be s5So,70s.62. He
suggests levy of 6i5 mills on the expected
property valuation of s60.O00,000, which will
yield s360,000 exclusive of the half mill, which
is for interest only The revenue from licenses,
fines and fees may be relied upon to reach an
other 100000, although the falling Off in fines
and the rebate on licences are both very corsid-
cradle this year. If these figures can be de-
pended upon there will be an income of $56O.OO0
to meet expenditure of $54O, 600, and it will be
found at the end of the year that there will be
nothing to spare, rs the percentage of shrink

balance.

THE WRONG PERSON DROPPED.
A Policeman Frightens q Woman Into
q Painting Spell.

Falnting spell.
G. Lanade, alias Joe Johnston, a small, dark
visaged man, was arrested yesterday for burg
larry and quite sensation was caused on Yesler
avenue by his endeavoring to make good his
escape from the arresting officer, George Cave.
Lanade registered at the Babcock lodging house
Friday night and was assigned to a room.
During the night he is charged with slipping
into q room near by, occupied by Henry Thomm,
who is a newcomer from the Middle states, and
stole suit of clothes, a watch and chain and
several other small articles. He left the lodging
house unobserved but suspicion was fastened
on him and Officer Cave was notified to look out
for him. At ] o'clock yesterday afternoon
Lanade was seen walking on Railroad avenue
and he was quickly nabbed by the policeman.
He submitted to arrest and walked along
quietly until the corner of Yesler avenue and
Fourth street was reached. AS they were draw
ing near where q lot of brick for the new opera
house are piled In the street, he broke away and
lodged around the brick out of sight. The
officer drew his revolver, and pointing it in the
direction of the flying figure, following him on
the jump, shouted:
"Drop, or I'll kill you!'
As he uttered the words he sprang around the
brick, which is piled along nearly the whole
length of the block, and came in full view Of q
pale-faced woman, who, with her husband, was
standing waiting for car. The woman thought
the policeman meant his command for her, and
uttering a scream she dropped in dead faint in
her husbands arms.
After run of block the command was re-
peated ana Lanade stopped and was marched to
police headquarters, where he was locked up.
The stolen clothing was found on him, but the
watch was gone.
The woman was taken into a store near by,
where she regained consciousness and was sent
home in a quincy.
