THE EFFECT OF FREE SILVER.

Secretary Fosters view of national
financial questions as presented in his
speech at Findlay, o., last night is full
of interest and significance. 1t is an in
variable law of finance that the poorer
dollar always drives the better one off
the field. The advocates of unlimited
coinage of silver say there is no silver
abroad to be sent to this country.
But" says Secretary Foster, "my
Investigations lead me to believe that
there is in Germany, Austria and other
countries of Europe more than 5000, 900
600 of silver, to say nothing of the vast
boards of silver in Mexico and South
American countries in the shape of coin,
iewelry, etc, that would come TO this
country the moment we Were ready to
pay $l.29 per ounce for it, or even q
lower rate. This influx of silver on
such basis, which would inevitably be
the result of free coinage here, would in
my judgment, very soon compel this
country TO abandon gold, and TO put it
self upon silver basis"
With all our power. with all our vast
resources, is there any sane man who
would venture to assert that we could
maintain the parity of gold and silver
under such conditions? 1--WE would soon
be placed 10y the side of Mexico and the
Asiatic countries. with currency huc-
tuating i'm value. and having an ever-in-
creasing downward tendency. Imned-
lately the $3.50, GOO, 900, or thereabout, in
gold. which we now have, and the $780,
100000 to $750,OOO,OOO we are soon 20
have would vanish, creating. for the
time being. the most disastrous contrac-
tion of the currency which this country
has ever seen"
The Democratic party is free silver
party, and its few members who retain
their common sense in this important
matter must view with genuine alarm

SMASH IN The FOG.
Terror In the Ladies' Cabin Of the
Perryboat Garden City.
A Steamship Stove a 20-Foot
Hole In Her Side.
One Of the Worst Collisions on the
Fast River for u Year.

During the heavy fog which enveloped the
North ana East rivers tins morning, there was
q seri gus collision between q big ferryboa and
an iron steamship.
AZ $50 A. NJ. the ferryboat Garden city,
OF the Long Island Railroad Company's line,
which runs from Hunters Point to the font OF
Roosevelt street, came slowly down the East
River.
She had left Long Island City at rs with
about $50 passengers, many OF them women
and girls. When OF Catnarine slip, in mid
stream, a big ship loomed up ahead. and
Capt. Babingtou and Pilot Burton tried to
reverse the engines, at ,hc same time blowing
the whistle repeatedly.
The collision could not be averted, however,
and the steamship, which was afterward
found to be the Alsenborn. from Baltimore,
crashed into the starboard side Of the ferry
| boat.
such complete smash-up has not resulted
from any OF the numerous ferry-boat collis-
| ions which have occurred on the East and
North rivers during the past year.
| The bow OF the Alsenborn struck the Garden
City amidships and in the centre OF the ladies'
cabin.
Half OF the paddlc-wheel was smashed to
/ nplinter9 and an immense N.ehaped nole, u1-
teen feet long by twenty feet wide. was made
In the hull.
All the ferry boats timber, from the guard
rail to the upper deck, was torn away, and her
windows were smashed.
There was great excitement on board, but no
| one was reported hurt.
The women and girls in the cabin owe their
escape, to q great extent, to Deckhand George
Holland. As soon as he saw the collision was
unavoidable he rushed into the ladies' cabin
and hustled them all out Immediately afteI
the shock came and the passengers were
hurled on their feet. The women and girls
screamed and many OF the men prepared &c
jump overheard. one man began to unlace
his shoes.
The Garden City managed to reach her slf
and landed her passengers Then she wa,
towed to dry-dock At Hunters Point.
The Alsenborn, at the time Of the collision,
was aoout to turn round and dock on the
Brooklyn side.
Capt Babington and Pilot Burton blame the
Alsenborn for the collision.
