The gold standard advocates do not
seem to realize that there Is glaring In
consistency between their statement,
that free coinage would give the mine
owners 100 cents for 70 cents worth Of
silver and their assertion that free coin
age would give the working men and
pensioners 70 cent dollar. II the mine
owner receives dollar for 10 cents worth
Of silver, how is 1t possible for that dollar
to be worth only 70 cents when the mine
owner gives IL TO a working man? We

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

orty," Etc.
To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE
The trial docket for the January term
Of the district court in this county showed
100 foreclosure cases. OF these, thirty
cases were continued. The amount OF
judgments taken was $57,621.
At the same term there were forty-6ve
Sherif's sales confirmed, in cases repre-
sonting judgments to the amount OF
S3O,2sO 60, and in which the lands sold
for $lO,82471.
The mortgages are released, but there
remains unsatisied judgments just in
those forty-fve cases to the amount of
$l9,455.89.
Is this "calsmlty how'll" Verify,
law that will allow such state Of affairs
10 calamity. Men may talk Of offering
inducements for capital to come into our
state, but the people now say, since their
eyes have been opened, that men who
will enact such a law are, if not gully of
robbery, at least accessory before the
tact.
No one among the members Of the
Farmers Alliance denies the right of the
the creditor to forecIose when the condi-
tlOns of the mortgage have been broken.
Ali even admit that, If the mortgagor ls
unable to comply with the agreements
set forth in the instrument which he
has signed, that the owner Of the mort
gage may legally foreclOse, though the
mortgage be ever 80 "iron clad" But the
people are speaking now, and demanding
that laws be enacted by which the prop
erty pledged after their enactment shall
satisfy the debt
A law that allows farm Of the value
Of $4,000 to sell for $50, as was the case
in one of the above named judgments,
and leave large unsatis6ed judgment
against an old grayheaded man, is unjust,
unholy and cruel. He can not own
property In this life but what 1t can be
seized upon and sold under execution for
what it will bring.
This system Is fast destroying the small
farmer class. Our lands are passing
into the hands Of few persons. Ameri-
cas- yeomanry is being deprived Of
thier homes, and at the same time having
an incubus Of debt fastened upon them
from which they cannot recover, unless
relief comes soon. These are facts, very
dlsagreeable ones, not only to those who
make It their business to condemn the
calamity howler," but also, and in much
greater degree, to the ones who bear that
classic name; for they are the ones who
are most affected.

RICHARD PECK LEAVES,
The Big Steamer Goes From
Her Builders Wharf.
THIRD STEAMER FOR THE COMPANY.

Chief Engineer sauIt WIN Have Charge

Designer-Built on the Plan OF a Fast
Yacht.
The New Haven line steamship Richard
Peck, which was built by the Harlan and
Hollingsworth company steamed out of
the creek today for her destination The
big steamer could hardly make
her way out even when the
the tide was high A number of tugs
saluted her as She passed out the Chris
tiana. Samuel A. Sault will have charge
Of the engines in the big steamer. Fran
els Soup, Of the company, was also on
board the steamer.
The steamer will ply between New
York and New Haven. The hull is of
steel 300 feet l. W. l., 3iG feet over ALL
4S beam, GO feet over guards. She is a
twin crew craft, with two sets of triple
expansion engines of 400 horse power
driving two screws 10 fe9t inches in
diameter
The latest addition to the New Haven
company's fleet is notable from the fact
that she is the first of the class turned
out by yacht designer, her design and
construction being the work Of A. Cary
Smith, of New York. The steamer is
entirely outside of Mr. Smiths practice,
and he undertook the work at
the solicitation of c. w. Chaplin. presi-

CONSERVATION IN WALES.
A SEVERE EARTHQUAKE SHOCK IN
PEMBROkESHlRE.

An Oppressive Heat the OminOus Pre-
cursor Of Pending Evil-Lesser shocks
and Damage Elsewhere.
[By Telegraph to the Evening journal
LONDON, Aug. 1S.-The shock of earth
quake last night, caused Consideration
in Pembrokeshire, the extreme south
western county of Wales. People were
generally asleep when low rumbling
noise was heard, and the houses rocked
and shivered like a ship in an undulating
sea-
In Haverford West the rumbling and
the rocking motion were particularly felt
and hundreds of people, awakened from
sleep, rushed out into the street in their
nightgowns without waiting TO dress.
Crockery was smashed and furniture
moved by the shaking of the buildings,
which lasted, however, but few
seconds. The people remained in the
streets panic stricken and fearful OF a
more disastrous visitation.
After an interval another shock came,
but it was slight as compared with the
first, and did no damage Then was
another interval and another shock also
slight
After some time, as there was no more
sign of seismic disturbance, people re-
turned 10 their houses, and tried to
sleep The day preceding the shock had
been extremely sultry for that section so
near the breezes of the Irish ca, and a
/ dull, heavy heat seemed ominous of
something unusual
At St. David's the shock was felt with
as much force as at Haverford West.
| The day was very warm and toward
evening there was a dull coppery sky,
while the slight breeze entirely ceased
and the atmosphere was oppressively
still The color of the sky aroused con
siderable remark, and was thought TO
portend storm The night was almost
as oppressive as the afternoon, and when
the shock came many Of the people We're
out in front of the houses, DOING or try
ing to sleep in the openair.
The shock was a smart one and the
damage resulting was chiefly to property.
In one instance mirror cracked in a
house.
In St. Davids most of the people re
manned up all night and many of them
in the streets People living near st.
Davids Head say that the sea was un-
usually quiet and almost CLASSY.
The first shock was accompanied with
considerable turbulence of the waves, and
a large wave swept in. tossing high upon
the rocks. This tumult Of the water
continued for some minutes and ceased
shortly after the final shock In other
parts of South Wales the earthquake was
not felt so seriously as in Pembrokeshire
but the disturbance was noticed rs fal
east as Monmouthshhe.
