''It is plain, then" the report con-
tinues, that there is no danger that the
silver product of past years will be
pourS into our mints. unless new steps
be taken for characterization, and from
this improbable contingency ample safe
guards can be provided. There is much
less reason for shipping coin to this
country than bullion, for while the lead
ing nations of Europe have discontinued
the coinage of full legal tender silver
pieces, they have provided by law for
maintaining their existing stock of silver
coins at par. The trnth is that the con-
spiracy formed in the old world, planned
and successfully carried through there
and here, was aimed to confine the debt
paying medium of the nations concerned
to this single metal, gold. For this pur-
pose par of centuries was broken, gold
decreased to rapidly rise in value, thus
adding SO per cent. to the value of
csedils enriching creditors, public and
private, at the expense of debtors and
taxpayers, enormously depressing the
value of labor ahd the products of labor,
as compared to notes, bonds and mort
cages.

BLAND'S SILVER BILL
The Committees Report Presented
to the House. ...-
NO FEAR OF FOREIGN BULLION.

Every shipioad Brought Here, Says
the Report, Would Bring Unex-
ampied Prosperity to the People
ofour Country and Panics in the
Old World.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The report Of
the committee on coinage, weights and
measures on the Bland free coinage bill
was presented to the house today by Mr..
Bland. The report was prepared by Mr..
Bland. 1t is quite voiuminous, covering
every phase of the silver question, and
contains many extracts on the subject
from newspapers and public reports.
After reviewing the changes by the
committee it refers to the allegations
heretofore made that free coinage would
cause shiploads of silver from other
countries to be brought here and
dumped at our mints, in exchange for
our gold. The shiploads of silver brought
to our mints by the foreigner would be
coined into standard dollars, and these
dollars returned to him, but he could
not go to our treasury and demand gold
for them. Nor can he compel one of
our citizens to swap him a gold dollar
for a silver dollar. If the American cit
izen gives him gold dollar for a silver
dollar, that is voluntary transaction
that no law ought to interfere with.
Should the foreigner take the coin notes
for his bullion instead of coin, the same
thing happens.
Would Benefit Our Industries.
Every shipload of silver thus brought
here and invested in the production Of
wealth would bring unexampled pros
perity to this country and panics in the
old world. The nations of the old world
are aware of this and they would see
that no such thing occurred. They
know the advantage free coinage of sill
yer would give US, hence their uni
form predictions that calamity would be
the result, instead of prosperity. An
extract from the report of the secretary
of the treasury, Mr. Window, in 1889, is
submitted as follows: "There is, in fact,
no accumulation of silver bullion in the
world. Germany long since disposed of
her stock of melted silver coins, partly
by sale, partly by -recoinage into her
own new subsidiary coins, and partly in
coming for Egypt. Only recently it be-
came necessary to purchase silver for
the Egyptian coinage executed at Ber-
lin"

which was most delightful. Forests OF
pine, live oak and magnolia lined the
track on either side. with here and
there an open clearing covered with
palmetto and cultivated spots where
golden oranges hung ripe and luscious
from acres of trees. 1t was but fiees-
ing glimpse for oar special train gllded
along over the rails At o high rate of
speed. When we arrived at ST. Au-
gustine carriages were at once entered
and . drive was taken about the city,
for there was much to be seen and time
was limited. Every school boy knows
that st. Augustine is the oldest city in
the United States settled by Europeans,
but comparatively few people know
what marvellous change the city has
undergone during the last few years.
Formerly its attractions consisted
of its salubrious climate which
is equally pleasant at all sea-
sons. Its quaintness and its histori-
cal features. Recently these advant-
ages have been reinforced by many
and exts nsive modern allurements.
Henry Nj. Flsg.er. the New York mil
lionaire of Standard OIL fame, has in
vested an enormous sum of money IN
and about st. Augustine. several mil
lion dollars being endowed in the Ponce
de Leon alone. which is SAID to be tn e
finest hotel in the world. In addition
Mr.. Flaeler has built two hotels, the
Alcazar and the Cordova, each one be-
ing q castle in magnitude and furnish
ings, and he has erected a beautiful
church as memorial to his daughter,
Grace, who died In that city several
years ago while in search Of health.
During our drive We visited Fort Mar
ion, formerly San Marco, the old Span
ieh defense; the old sea wall and city
gates. also built by the Spaniards; the
Old Spanish cathedral; the slave mart,
where black unfortunates were daily

The managing editor Of The Mail ana
Express was Just beginning 10 breathe
freely when The Evening Telegram was
sued by Anthony Comstock, The Times
by a publishing firm, The Herald by
mining firm and The sun BY Fred Geb-
hard and Pierre Loriilard, the last two
asking for $50 .ooo each. AT the close of
the week Foster Coates. who recently
left The Mail and Express for The
Press, declared that there was but one
paper in New York not sued or other
wise in trouble. and that was The Ban
ner of Zion. The Sun had published
that Pierre Lorillard lost s225 900 at
baccarat and had spoken Of Fred Geb-
hard As BLACKBOARD. None of the
suits amounted 10 much.
The Chicago Times has probably spent
pore money ON libel suits than any other
American journal. And a strange fea-
ture is that its worst losses were III cases
where it had been artistieally deceived.
Several years ago The Times received
an elaborate account OF "a fearful scan
DIAL at Rockford, Ills, involving one
prominent politician and the daughter
Of another. The editor hesitated. but
thenext day several letters came, all in
different hand writings. giving details
as if from different standpoints, and 80
next morning an article appeared. There
was not word Of truth in the story. IL
was q most ingenious fraud and the
author was never certainly discovered.
OF the many resulting suits some were
tried five times. The final payment Of
damages was very small, but Mr. Storey
admitted that he had paid out many
thousands of dollars in lawyers fees and
hunting evidence.
A still more curious case convulsed an
eastern city some years ago. An even
ing paper gave q thrilling account of
four attempts to murder young mar
ried woman by connivance of her hus-
band. When suit was brought and the
reporter was called on for his proof. it
was discovered that his main witness
was in the penitentiary at Joliet. Ills,
the next in importance in the New York
penitentiary at Auburn. and the third
was police sergeant, who declared he
had told the reporter no such thing.
Ruin to the publishers seemed certain.
