We had all sail set and we're running

Heyerman on the poop deck, and he told

wait until the o'clock sight, before or

The com bat was desperate from the frst

into his corner by one Of his seconds.
The boy from Lewiston had no "cinch,
however, and only the ringing Of the bell
at the end of the third round kept the
fight from being awarded to his opponent.
Both men fought at $50 pounds, and both

THE MONETARY SUPPLY.
"SuHocation and Strangulatlon' Words None
Too Strong 10 Apply TO Restriction.


BosToN, March % international Bi-
metallism" was the subject of discussion
at the meeting of the Boston Reform
club last night. General Francis A.
Walker was the principal speaker He
upheld the bimetallio theory by three
lines Of argument: That the system is
desirable; that IL has proven to be practi-
cable. and that IL is possible.
There will be panics and hard times
under any monetary system" said General
Walker, "but they will be greater when
national monetary system is subject to
the fluctuations of a single standard. Bi-
metallism il economically practicable,
and is no longer a question in England
and Europe, as it is in the United States
whenever law settles an economic
force, then IL affects value and not until
then. General Walker described the bi-
metallic system of France, which he pro
nounced feasible
''Since 1873 there have been wider fiuc-
tuations in gold than any other COM
modify known, and international trade
has been greatly reduced by this state Of
affairs.
"Bimetallism gives a greater liability
than can possibly come to either metal
alone. There is not enough gold pro-
duced to supply the demand for currency
and the arts too. The amount produced
Il great, but much OF it Is going into
avenues of commerce. Prices have
steadily fallen since 1873. Suffocation
and strangulation are words none too
strong to apply TO this restriction of
monetary supply"
