London, Oct. 3.-Much additional
wreckage has been washed ashore IN
the vicinity of 1lfracombe, on the
North coast of Devonshire, and it IS
thought that several vessels founder

ON THE WRONG TRACK.

The Secretary Of the Treasury Is n Great
Speaker but He Cannot stem the Silver
Tide. L. 4 -
Referring to the announcement that
Secretary Carlisle would address the
Memphis sound money convention the
ST. Louis Republic allu les to his Won
derful powers as public speaker who
it is a pleasure to hear, whether he
makes legal argument or a political
appeal, but adds: Call him the most
accomplished reasoner among Amer
lean statesmen and pronounce the
Memphis speech the effort of his life,
and yet he will not stem the tide of
silver monometallism if he attempts to
do it with gold monometallism.
I'm the west and south there may be
variation of opinion upon the mode by
which the free coinage of silver should
be reached, but there is something
very much like unanimity in demand
ing that gold and silver shall be coined
on equal terms. In fact, since all the
political parties have nationally con-
coded the principle of bimetallism, it
may be said that all the people contend
for the money use of both metals.
I'm the west and south certainly the
belief is settled that the gold standard
is not sound money. Nothing is sound
money which is not fair and equitable
money; and the west and south have
learned from the most eminent econo-
mists of the world that the gold stand
ard has dislocated exchanges and in
tensifed If it has not produced trade
depressions The west and south see
q serious international trouble in prog
ress on the Nicaraguan coast as re-
suit of debtor who uses silver being
compelled to pay obligations in gold.
Sound money is not gold monomet-
allism nor silver recommendation, but
both metals coined on equal terms and
and with relation to values. The great
or part of the world has been accus-
toned to the use of such money and re-
CARDS such money as the sound meas
ure of prices and standard of pay

The "slLvER CRAZE"


The Northwest Unanimous for the White
Metal-The international Conference.
Representative Hepburn, of the
Eighth Iowa district, after spending a
month or so feeling the public pulse of
his state, returned to Washington and
fell into the grasp of o reporter, to
whom he said that he bad visited every
county in his district and various other
sections of the state, ana found that
everybody was crazy on the silver
question. 1t is the only topic they will
talk about. Whenever two men get to-
petGer, whether it is at the post office
or at the street corner, in the railway
station, or the corner grocery, or while
riding ON the cars, they discuss moth
ing else, and the sentiment is almost
unanimous in b6th parties that the
United States government should inn
mediately declare in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver regard
less OF the policy of the European ma
tions.

party as there are among the demo-
Gratis" said Mr.. Hepburn. Neither
party has monopoly of the sentiment,
and it looks now as il they would make
a race to see which can make the most
sweeping declarations on the subject.
You might as we'll try to put out the
fires of perdition with bucket Of
water, or sweep back the tides with a
broom. The people want action, not
words, just now. A discussion Of the
subject in print or on the platform in
terests them, but it does not shake
their faith in the free coinage policy.
There are plenty Of good arguments
on their side and the only way in
which the furore can be allayed
and party lines restored in the west
is for the president to reconvene
the international monetary conference
that was held at Brussels few
years ago at the instance of the gov
eminent. You will remember that
it never finally adjourned. 1t took
recess, with the expectation OF getting
together again the following May, but
the prospects of an agreement were so
slim that when May came around it
was not thought worth while to as
semble, Since then, however, there
has been very decided growth Of
sentiment in favor of bimetallism in
Great Britain and Germany, where the
strongest opposition was encountered,
and conditions are much more favor
able for an international agreement
now than they ever have been. There
is no necessity for our government to
wait until England or Germany takes
the initiative, for they will never dose
until it is plain that they can gain
some advantage over us"

NEW MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.
The Pedal ClarlOnet, the ViolOncelli- Plano,
and the Alto Piano.

The Pedal Clarionet, the ViolOncelli- Plano,
and the AltO-Pian
Hardly year goes by that new in
strument does not make its appear
ance in the field of orchestral mu sic;
but usually, the novelty wearing off,
the instrument disappears as suddenly
as it comes. This probably will not
be the fate of new pedal clarionet,
which increases the range of these in
struments to six octaves 1t is partic-
ularly brass instrument, and will be
of help in assisting the counter-bass.
Its tone is rich and mellow, and when
played softly it is surprisingly melo-
dious. 1t has the mouth-piece of the
ordinary clarionet, but ends in the
turned-up sounding tube of the saXo"
phone. A powerful sound in the forte"
and characteristic and well-defned
breadth of tone in the middle and high
registers make it very useful addition
to an orchestra. A stand is needed to
support the instrument.
The violoncell-piano and Auto-piano
are instruments intended to displace
the cello and the violin with those
that have not the time or patience to
learn these instruments. A keyboard,
which is fingered the same as piano
keyboard, is built so that it will fit
the fngerboard of the string instru-
inents with mathematical correctness,
and the inventor, De Vlaminck, has
succeeded in making his Instruments
serviceable even in quartet work. All
the sounds and effects of the original
instruments can be produced, just as
artistically, excepting the sliding
sounds. An expert, who has executed
sonatas ny Beethoven and other diff
fcult pieces, SAYS il hos great future.
1t is excellent in its tone qualify, and
it is impossible to finger incorrectly.

REPEATING ITSELF.
How History Follows Around In the OIL
Circle.

How History Follows Around In the Old
Circle.
History is repeating itself in the most
remarkable manner. When the people
were making an effort to rid themselves
of the United States bank-an institu-
ton which was using all its great in
huence against their interests and in
behalfof the money power, of which
it was the chief representative-the
campaign was almost duplicate Of
that on which we are now entering.
Then, as now, the money power was
active and enthusiastic. Then, as now,
the banking interests worked upon the
fears of the more timid business men
and so alarmed them that they held
meetings and poured thousands upon
thousands of petitions into the halls of
congress. The commercial bodies, the
boards of trade and the chambe of
commerce passed strong resolutions in
dorsing the bank and demanding that
it be let alone.
But even this was not all. A power
full LOBBY made the national capital its
headquarters and brought all its influ-
ence to bear on the peoples represent
atives. delegations of ''financiers"
and prominent business men swarmed
around the white house, and such was
their persistence that Andrew Jackson
was compelled to drive them out of his
presence.
We all know the result The people
had their way. Congress refused to
renew the charter of the bank and it
and its branches went out of business.
The people. led by Andrew Jackson,
were victorious. The wings of the
money power were clipped, and for
more than a generation, it was power
less for evil except in small way.
We have now a repetition OF that
campaign. The money power, without
reason or excuse, has taken up the
cause of the Shylocks, and it is moving
heaven and earth TO make an impress
sion on public opinion 1t is working
on the fears of business men. 1t is
trying to create alarm in the minds of
bnOSG WHO dTG COuocTNbJlNO III hll
things 1t is organizing q campaign;
it is striving to make these conventions
respectable by prevailinr on reputable
business men to act as delegates.
History is repeating itself in every
particular except one-the people have
no Andrew jackson to lead them.
But the people need not despair. A
leader will arise-a man devoted to
their interests and capable of leading
them to victory. And the issue will go
further, we have no doubt, than the
free coinage of silver. The national
banks, without any excuse, have taken
up the cause of Shylockism and are
trying to promote it. Their attitude
is challenge to every patriotic voter,
and it is challenge that will be ac-
cepted. Constitution.

A Favorite Colony Joins Issue with the
"MOther Country"

Favorite Colony Joins Issue with the
"MOther Country"
The Adelaide South Australia) Ad-
vertiser recently had an interesting
article favoring bimetallism, from
which the following is taken:
at is an old cry of British monomet-
allists that England should oppose
any monetary reform that would de-
priye lenders of the unearned advan-
tage they gain from continually APP
preciating standard. We have been
unable to verify the reference; but we
gather from a speech by Mr., George 0.
Jones before the silver convention at
Washington in 1892, the correctness OF
whose quotation we assume, that as
far back as in 1883 the London Econo-
mist wrote as follows in its leading col
umns: England being the chief cred
itor of the world, u is to her interest to
keep the volume of money rs small as
possible in countries from which debts
are due, in order to get more OF their
proNucts in payment of interest due
To her citizens That, to say the
least. is candid 1t is an unusual
blunt statement of the position;
but really it does no more than en-
body one of the stock arguments OF the
gold monometallists in Great Britain.
Since the conversion of Mr., Courtney
a majority of the members Of the i'm
perial gold and silver commission
which sat in 1888 may now be counted
on the bimetallist side. But the self
interview of the monometallist party
is pretty we'll expressed in the follow
ing significant paragraph to the re-
port: 1t must be remembered, too,
that his country is largely creditor
of all debts payable in gold, and any
change which entails rise in the prices
of commodities generally-that is to
kay, a diminution of the purchasing
mower of gold-would be to our disad-
vant,, ge.' The Australasian colonies
can scarcely be expected to submit
contented,v to the appreciation OF gold
for the express purpose of filling the
creditors pockets with an unearned
increment of gain. OF course, even in
relation to British interests, this mono-
metallist statement of the case is not
merely despicably selfish, bus which is
more to the point, miserably made
uuate. England, it is true, is cred-
itor country. TO the owners of fixed
debts in gold the appreciation OF that
metal is no doubt great advantages.
But England is o debtor country as

WORRIED eoLp.Rues.

The Nightmare of Counterfeit Silver Dol
lars and Al4Oyed Gold That Plaques
Them.
A few weeks ago the gold-bugs were
complaining that so long as we have
silver coin there will always be great
danger that the silver dollar will be
counterfeited. And now they are
kicking because some dishonest em-
ployes of one of the mints recently
turned out some gold coins containing
TOO much alloy.
We do not see how the worried and
be-deyiled gold.bugs can sleep at night
When they see Q silver dollar they are
afraid that 1t is counterfeit, and they
now fear that their gold coin may have
too much alloy.
The gold-bugs are in bad fix. They
had no faith in silver and now they
cannot depend upon gold The former
may be counterfeit, and the latter may
not be up to the standard With sink
ing hearts they realize the fact that
for months past thousands of people
may have been paying debts in silver
and gold coin which was not intrinsic
ally worth 100 cents on the dollar.
II this howl continues about coun'
terfeit dollars made Of genuine silver
and gold coin with too much alloy, the
gold-bugs will be driven as last re-
sort to a traffic Of barter conducted
without using any kind of money.
The truth Is, nothing will satisfy
these follows They want the earth.
No dollar will eyer suit them unless it
will increase its purchasing power
every day, and double its value while
it is locked up in their vaults. Atlanta
