ing from that which previously existed.
But they overlook the fact that the al
legged causes have been in active opera
ton during the greater part of the CEN
fury. 1t 10 obvious, therefore, that
such a revolution. if it existed, should
have arisen at an earlier period, and
that it should have developed gradually
instead of setting in suddenly at the
exact moment when the link was broken
between gold and silver. Moreover,
this theory involves another irreconcil-
able position, 1t 10 absurd to suppose
that revolution of this character could
have affected gold prices so seriously,
and yet should have left silver prices
unaffected"
This is merciless logic, but it is abso-
lutely irrefutable, and it completely de-
molishes the labored arguments of
Wells and his school, in this country
and in Europe, who attempt to prove
that all commodities have fallen one

simpler theory, which all statistics

effect, has happened with gold, for it
now takes about twice the average
quantity of staple commodities to buy

it did twenty years ago. And of course,
If gold has doubled in value during this
period, it Is memorable that everything
measured by it will only measure one
half as much as it would have done had
not gold thus changed in value.
''Not only lie gold not exempt from
value fluctuations" says the correspond
ent OF the Century, 'but it fuctuates
more violently perhaps than any other
article OF human desire. The only true
method OF testing lite value lie by meas
uring it with commodities or with la
bor."
No wonder the editors Of the Century
say they are not disposed to continue
the discussion as to the appreciation or
rice of gold, for to attempt it would be
to engage in futile task. Statistics OF
the highest character show that during
the last 40 years gold has. in fact.

THE board of supervisors bas been
notified that, owing to the straitened
condition OF the state treasury, no more
money will be paid for coyote scalps.
This is severe on meritorious and in
dustrious class of men. Not to be able
to measure that old string OF scalps over
and over again rises to the dignity OF
great grievance. 1t is hard, alec, not to
be able to import the scal2s from Lower

for them. 1t would be a curious thing
to know just how often the same scalp

A BIG BUSINESS DEAL.
w. f. WHITTIER GOT S25O,OOO
FOR RETIRING.
Largest Bonus acknowledgements That
tho Retiring Partner VIII Not En.
gage In the Business Again
for Five Years.

San Francisco Examiner: W. f. Whit
tier, of the firm of Whittier, Fuller &
Co., has retired from business in consid-
GRAFTON of the sum of s250,O0O, paid by
his former partner.
This bonus is said to be the largest
ever paid to any individual in the his
tory of commercial transactions in the
United States. Under the terms of the
agreement Mr.. Whittier has promised
not to engage in business again Tor a
term OF five years to come. Attorney
X. ii. Lloyd drew up the terms of the
contract, acting for Mr.. Whittier.
Thirty-seven years ago the present
firm of paint and oil dealers was founded
with capital of $1,000 by the man who
retired yesterday.
In June of 1854 Whittier arrived in
this city and entered the paint and oil
house of Sawyer, johnson & Co., then
the leading firm of the kind on the
coast. He stayed with them three
years.
In 1857 the firm became merged into
new one under the title of Cameron,
Whittier & Co. Soon after the forma-
ton of this partnership Cameron died
by drowning in the Sacramento river.
and the Junior partner took charge OF
the business, continuing it until 1868,
when W. P. Fuller bought out an inter
eet and became member OF the firm of
Whittier, Fuller & Co.. under which
name the firm is still known, though
Mr.. Fuller died four years ago. In 1883
Frederick N. Woods associated himself
with the firm, and though the copart-
nership expired by limitation on the
3lst of December last, the formal disco
lntion was put off until last Saturday.
The Whittier-Fuller company did the
largest paint and oil business in the
United Statee.
Part of their enterprise was mani
tested in the founding OF the Pioneer
White Lead works, the only successful
enterprise of the sort ever operated on
this coast. To their efforts is also due
the establishment of the Pacific Rubber
Paint works. the Pioneer Color works,
the manufacture of French plate mir
rors and the Pioneer OIL works Be-
sides mis- share of these Mr.. Whittier
has large real estate interests in San
Francisco and in the southern portion
Of the state.
