certs. But much is forgiven the pier
for the sake of its moonstones.
The bathing is all done at the noon
hour. and no carriage can drive on the
beach at that season. Everybody
battles; the dip is the object of life, as
it is nowhere else along the Atlantic
coast. But fairly good portion of the
semi-marine population is about eight
cen years old and is sunburned. 1t has
bright fluffy hair, and in the intervals
of bathing it stands about in groups on
the beach under huge tent-like UNI
brellas, striped in gay colors and upheld
as to their stalwart central supports by
brown young men.
Sometimes the umbrella pole is driven
into the beach sand and then young
men and young women sit in the shade
of it and it is possible to study at
leisure the natural history of the genus
homo at it's most interesting age.
There are no women at the pier who
swim particularly well; the stories of
them are myths, but there are schools
of mermaids who splash about and
laugh and scream in black and crimson
silk rigs and high treble. Those
bathing suits seem to be found most in
teresting which are not accompanied by
stockings. These are not abundant,
but as rare and engaging novelty the
vision of sand-fecked, pink toes is not
absolutely unknown.
A more or less typical bathing suit at
the pier is worn by girl who has a
particularly soft round curl right in
the middle of her forehead" and droop-
ing between her eyes. 1t is of grayish
green wool, like the water under clouds,
and has white yoke set in at the
throat with an anchor sprawling across
it in crimson and brown. A short killed
skirt is gathered on at the waist and
stops little above the knees. Below
the skirt there appear green tights that
are met at the knees by long brown
stockings, cross-gartered from ankle to
knee by the crimson thongs of brown
sandals. The girls sleeves stop at her
dimpled elbows, she hides her face
under green straw poke bonnet with
crimson cords, and she's prettier OBJ

Another noticeable dress was a shot

was fecked with flowers that showed
themselves upon the surface only mo-

were three rolls of cream-colored satin.
A scarf of the same color was knotted
about the waist and fell nearly to the
ground. Black lace was gathered about
the shoulders and fell down over the

WHAT Tree ooINAGE mEANs.

A great deal Is being said nowadays about
the good that would ensure to the country
if the democratic theory Of free and unlinl-
tied coinage of silver should be put into
practice. The Inter Ocean has something
to say about the question as follows
"In the act of 1878, which dropped the
standard silver dollar from our monetary
system, has in recent years given great
deal of mental perplexity to some people.
1t is said in these latter days to have been
the result of conspiracy by which cred
itOr class unjustly and surreptiously added
heavy burdens to the debtor class. The
idea is conveyed that a radical change in
our currency was thus designedly and cor
ruptly brought about.
"The act of 1878 was a general one revis-
ing all of our coinage statutes. The bill
was introduced in April, 1870, and large
number of copies printed with wide mar
gins and distributed among experts and to
whosOever showed any interest in the sub
lect. 1t finally became law in February,
1873, being before congress and the public
nearly three years. During that time it
was printed in full, with the amendments.
by order of congress, eleven different times.
and twice, in addition, in official reports.
The debates upon the bill in the senate oc-
cupy sixty-six columns, and in the house
seventy-eight columns of the Congression-
al Globe Curiously enough, Senator Ste
wart, then as now representing the state of
Nevada, voted for it, and there is nothing
to show that any body was seriously inter
ested in the silver dollar.
THE reason why one was interested is
simple. For so years previous the amount
of bullion in a silver dollar had been worth
from l01 to 1O4 cents. and nobody was tax
ing it to the mint to be stamped 100 cents.
The total number of silver dollars coined
from the establishment of our government
down to 1873 was less than the issue of anv
two months Of 1891 or 1892. 1t was not un-
til under the increased production the
price of silver began to fall that the priyi-
lege of free coinage was valued or missed
When 42H grains of standard silver in
stead of being worth IOI cents became
worth only SO cents, the verproducer be-
gan to ask where the mint was located.
he wanted the government stamp of 100
cents on it. By the time it was down to 80
cents he was stirring himself to re-estab-
hsh free coinage, and, as it has continued
to fall under the continually increasing
he has grown in the opinion
that the act of 1873 was IAN outrage and
procured by a conspiracy.
THE argument that the act was passed
, 1892-10-11

IN the interest of creditors has flaw in it.
silver was then dear money, and gold, as
compared with silver, cheap money. A
gold dollar was worth 100 cents, and sill
yer dollar worth 1O2.6 cents. We are asked
to believe that creditors sought to compel
debtors to make payment in 1OO-cent dol
lars Instead of 102-cent dollars.
There is a flaw also in the theory that
the act of 1873 caused the decline in silver.
The only way in which it could occasion a
decline was by lessening the demand. The
same act which dropped the standard silver
dollar authorized the trade dollar, which
contained more silver, and during the next
four years we coined three times as many
trade dollars as we had coined standard
dollars in all our history prior to 1873. So
1t was not cessation of our mint demand
which started silver downward.
"Silver is cheaper because of an increased
supply, and because the uncertainty of its
value has led to its disuse as money by so
many nations. The United States, by buy
ing every two months more than its total
coinage down to 1873, and by its efforts to
establish an International basis for free
coinage, is doing its full duty to sustain
the value of the white metal"

The commercial Importance of the
Nicaragua canal becomes daily more ap-
parent to the people of Washington,
when the extent of our natural resources
is considered. The wheat crop of the
Pacific coast in 1891 was over /, 800, 900 tons,
and eighty per cent of the wheat was ex-
ported by sailing vessels and large pro-
portion of it passed around the Horn.
The Nicaragua canal, by shortening the
route to Atlantic ports, would not only
save the producer cost of freight but the
revenue of the canal at 50 per ton toll
would be nearly $S,OOO,OOO on wheat alone.
1t is shown that there are 100000, 900
thousand feet of merchantable timber in
Washington and Oregon, to the value of
which over 50 per thousand feet would be
added by cheap water transportation via
the Nicaragua canal

Judge Elwood Evans, one of the speak,

one of the early settlers of this territory

in this Northwest for more than a quarter
Of century. A thorough lawyer, dis.

O. 5. VoORHEEs.

Ex-Congressman c. S. Voorhees,, who
speaks democracy at the opera house to-
night, is one of the brightest and most
promising young men of this state. He is
a cultured and affable gentleman, enjoying
a lucrative law practice at Spokane, and is
here before the supreme court. While diff
fering from him in politics, we cannot but
admire his energy, determination and in
tellect. Grasping the situation at glance
in 1884, his genius and the treachery of
King county snatched victory from the
republican party with its eight thousand
majority, and kept the territory in the
democratic column for four years. His
fight for forfeiture hastened the compile
tion of the Cascade branch of the Northern
Pacific and stimulated Tacoma in its mar
Yelous growth.

The bitter war waged by the King county
leaders in 1884 and 1886 against the repub-
lican party was in fact fight against Ia
coma as child of the Northern Pacific,
rapidly becoming dangerous rival to the
city ofSeattle. They reasoned that to deprive
theoompany ofits land grant would prevent
the building of the Cascade lines, cripple
Tacoma and Pierce county and while thus
helping Seattle, also teach the railroad
magnates that they could not with
immunity create a rival city to Seattle on
Puget Sound. But in harmony with
justice and in accordance with history, the
result was just the opposite from what
this "rule or ruin" spirit desired. The
Northern hurriedly built its road across
the Cascades direct to Tacoma, presuma-
bly, to save the grant, and the City of
Destiny entered upon an era of substan-
tial prosperity, the like of which was never
before known.
