suing its one idea, in order to show the
inferiority of the silver dollar, declared
that in order to pay customs duties,
the holder Of silver coin would have
to get some banker to exchange his
i Deprecated silver" for gold to get any
import out of the custom house. That
shows how much the Tribune knows
on this simple question At the same
time the law makes the standard silver
dollar United States money! legal
tender for all dues and demands public
and private
The Tribune has classed the silver
dollar with the Subsidiary coins"
That is another blunder. Every hnan-
cial argument on either side of the
coinage question, as well as the laws
themselves. make half-dollars, quar-
{ tiers and dimes the subsidiary coins OF
this country.
! Mr.. Newlands, of Nevada, is a strong
silver man, recognized as such by the
Tribune. In his argument before the
Committee on Coinage, ETC., in 1891, he
was asked what he meant by credit
money" The Tribune classes silver
with credit money. But Mr.. Newlands
answered:
What [ mean by credit money is
this: There are two kinds OF money,
one is the standard metallic money,
gold and silver; the other is credit
money which consists of government
or bank notes payable in gold or sill
yer, and which are legal tender.
That is the only credit money that l
admit exists
OUeStioned further and closer no re-
piled again:
Il said, in my opinion. money con
sists of two kinds. One is the stand
ard money of the country, gold and
silver; and the other is credit money.
The standard money consists of gold
and silver, and the credit money con-
, sists of notes, Government bonds, OF
, bank notes, redeemable in either gold
or silver, and made by law legal
tender"
Here is the argument Of a gentleman
on the other side of the silver ques-
tion-Mr. George e. Leighton.
"The vital attribute of coinage and
currency is the same in every import
ant respect. Behind every coin, as be-
5 hind every piece of paper, lies the
question, what is its real worth
Paper does not assume to have any
lHlng OUT q cOnVeftlpIe or a redeem
able value. Coin does not profess tC
: be convertible. 1t is simply exchange
: able by consent. 1t is the ultimate
: resting place of the measure of value
: The silver dollar we say stands OF
its own merits as money. It is inter
changeable with gold but not redeem
able in anything. The Tribune says
the law makes it redeemable in gold
When asked to quote the law i
hedges and springs another question
There is no such law. The restored
silver dollar is all right. There il
nothing the matter with it. Silve
needs to be restored as money meta
to be coined on demand into STANDARD
dollars, or certificates be issued for tn
, deposited bullion redeemable in coin
When the dollars are coined they ar
good enough. They call for no re
1 demption. they need none.

abstract had been filed which showed
ed, whereas, the so-called abstract
shows upon it's face by an extensive
explanation written thereon, that this
is not true.
1t is evident that the Republicans in
the Third precinct are endeavoring to
secure some evidences of their cleo
ton upon either the face Of the re-
turns. or the report Of the canyassing
board, but just which it will be they
Will ask Judge Bartch to determine.
In the event that they fail to eaten
it "'either goin' or comm" they hope
to hang the cases up by appeal and
then go before the convention and ask
that body to give them seats which
TIE people, by their votes, never in
tended they should fill!
1t is not the facts that these gentle
men want as developed by the partial
canvass of the votes already made, but
it is the truth of these facts that they
fear to meet; hence their organ renews
its sIurs on the Commission. If the
Supreme Court holds that the Commits
sion must perform the duties of q can
wasting board il will do so, and if on
the contrary it is held that an inter
| mediary board must be appointed to
| TO perform this function, then the alb
stract and report Of Hurd, Nye and
Dale Will be taken up and considered
at the next meeting of the Commits
sion.
| The only reason that the certificates
Of election We're ordered to be issued in
the other Salt Lake county precincts,
was the fact that the canvass made
by the Commission itself, agreed with
the one made by the CanYassins
board and hence no dispute could arise
therein. But the Commission having
been temporarily enjoined from can
Yassing the Third precinct, are not
able to decide this case until the OBJ,
| structionists cease their dilatory pro
ceedings or the decision Of the Su-
preme Court may be handed down.
! Enough of this at present, and suffice
it to say that so far as the count has
been made in the Third precinct By
either of the Boards, Smith and EN-
cry appear to be defeated. We trust
this will not unduly agitate either TIT
candidates or their organ. But if i
should it may as well be understood
that no amount Of roaring" even if i
should wake the dead" will make any
difference in the actual result.

LOSS OF LIFE AT SEA.


The loss of the steamer Elbe, and
the agitation concerning the Gascogne,
bring to mind the cases of disaster at
sea which have been prominent during
the past quarter of a century.
The greatest loss of life in a similar
catastrophe to that of the Elbe during
that period was by the sinking Of the
Atlantic, a steamer Of the White Star
line which foundered on the rocks,
near Halifax, in April, 1873, and 500
persons persisted. The next in point
of members was the German steamer
Cimbria, which collided with the Sui
tan, British steamer, off the Holland
coast in January, 1883, the number lost
then was 454. The Victoria, British
ironclad, was run down by the war
ship CamperdoWn near the Syrian
coast in 1898, when 400 men were
drowned. The loss of life on the Elbe
is placed at 934
OF great disasters with less mortality
than that of the Elbe are the follow
ing: In May, 1875, the Hamburg mail
steamer Schiller, went on to the rocks,
near the Scilly Islands, and lost S31
souls. The French steamer Vile de
HaVre. collided with the Lochearn, a
Glasgow vessel, in November, 1873, and
226 persons out of 313 were drowned.
In January, 1875 a Spanish vessel ran
down the British ship Northfieet in the
English Channel, and 425 persons were
lost. About 800 souls went down
on the German vessel Grosse1
Kurfurst, ran into by another
German ironclad the Konig Will
helm, in the English channel in
/ May, 1873. In January of the same
year 200 lives we're lost by the wreck
| of the Metropolis. a Philadelphia
steamer. which ran ashore on the
North Carolina coast.
There have been even greater disas
tiers to excursion steamers on lake an6
river but these we have mentioned are
noted ocean catastrophes, brought t.
mind by the sinking of the Elbe, which
will for some time leave a feeling o.
horror in the public mind. In this
case the sensation is deepened by the
conviction that if proper aid had beer
rendered, it is possible that many Of
the unfortunate victims might have
been saved
There is a vast feeling of re
lief over the news that LIE
Gascogne is safe in port. There
is something awful in the thought o.
a great ship laden with human freight
going down to the depths in the rag
ing waters, but no doubt there are
much more terrible deaths than ever
/ that by drowning at sea.
