$592 1870, 900, says the Salt Lake Tribune. The
gold product for IL years, between 1S49 and
1860, was, from California $500 600, 300, and
from Australia an immense sum-we have not
the figures. Did that added volume cheaper
the prce?" Again, the product OF gold this
year is 10 per cent more than it was year be-
fore last. and the estimate is that next year the
increase will be 3]15 pes cent over 1892. If
that is realized does the RECORD expect that
the price of gold will be reduced?
Again. the nearly $500, 10 O0) of silver pro-
du, ed in SO years. what of it2 1t is not So per
CAPT for the civilized nations; it is not SO
cents per capita for the silver using countries
of the world.
That is, the reason silver and gold were long
ago denominated precious metals was because
they not only fitted all the other requirements
for measures OF value but both have always
been SO scarce that the utmost cupidity OF men
has not been able to secure enough OF both
metals to serve the world as money Accepted
as money, VIII at does a hundred million ounces
of silver per anhum amount to? 1t, with all
the gold that can be added and with the
amount required for the arts taken out the
whole will not keep up with the increase OF
the worlds business and population. with
the civilized world Withdrawing recognition
from silver, of course gold appreciated and
silver has seemed to fall; but everything else
has fallen in the same or greater ratio, until
the producers of the world are stranded. one
thing more, the Record can find no place or
time in the worlds history that the precious
metals have ever drawn apart except
through legislation. The amount pro-
duced of either or both metals has made no
difference in their relative values. OF course,
when both were money and either doubled in
amount they both lost proportionately in pur
chasing power. That is, property advanced In
value, measured by them. Now one has been
stricken out of existence, practically, as money
by the nations Of civiiz ttion, and yet the
Record and all kindred sheets ascribe the fail
OF so per cent in all values to improved ma
chinery, oheapeDed transportation, over
production or some other fool thing, struggling
their utmost to keep from the people the fact
that to strike down half the money OF the
world must strike down the prices OF any form
OF property, except meu's obligation to pay so
per cent. Our country l. in the grasp OF inter-
est gatherers, and the people seem too dull to
see that they are slowly drifting into serfdom.

SANTA MONICA INDIGNANT.

The citizsns OF Santa Monica are
much incensed at the attitude OF The
HERALD in advocating San Pedro as q
deep sea harbor. They have assembled
in mass meeting and roundly denounced
this paper for it's zeal on behalf OF
proposition that is Endorsed By nine
Jsnths OF the people Of Southern Cali
iornis. Not the slightest objection can
be urged against this demonstration,
and it may even be asserted that the
citizens of Santa Monica could have
done nothing less under the circum.
STANCES. But they should deal as fairly
by us as they would have us deal with
them.
In the first place. it was unfair on
their part to base their Indignation on
the Wellington incident-a publication
made NOON misinformstion liable to be
thrust upon any newspaper, and an
error amply atoned for by subsequent
explanation and apology. 1t was un-
lair to use this insignificant story as the
keynote of wrath actually melted by this
effort to force the San Pedro hsrbor
proposition to an Issue.
1t lie explicitly denied that the South
ern Pacific Railroad corporation had
anything to do with this outburst on
the part OF the citizens OF Santa
Monica, and it is not our purpose to
take issue with those who make this
denial, but we can assure them. that
nothing they could do would more de-
light Mr. Huntington than what they
have done The resolutions they have
adopted are the only solace that has
been offered from California since the
people of this state began their struggle
for emancipation from the bligh.ing,
tyrannous. destroying thraldom that
Huntington has put upon them.
There ia not the slightest desire on
the part of The HERALD TO injure Santa
Monica as community, but even a
mass meeting OF the citizens and the
bitterest resolutions those citizens may
adopt. will not swervs this paper from
it's determination to express the sent-
ment of the people of Southern Califor-
MIA regarding the dsep-ses hsrbor prop
osition. The majority sentiment OF this
section ia in favor of such q harbor ut
San Pedro, and it is as vigorously OPP
posed to an appro pration for Santa
Monica, where Mr.. Huntington monop-
olizes the water front, and where the
Southern Pacific is monarch OF all that
has been surveyed.
If the meeting last night, and the res
olutions and the speeches denouncing
THE HERALD we're merely protests be-
cause we inadvertently published a mis-.
statement concerning O steam collier

The News i'll a recent editorial commented
favorablv on the advantages offered the poor
man by the building and loan associations. but
raised the objections that there is a big
bonus of fifth Il fourth or $1,000 to
be paid in cash before the agreement is
made which prevents many young business
men and clerks from going into such deals. A
gentleman representing the local interests
of a well-known national building and
loan association informs us that our objection
is not well founded and backs up his state
meut by the following exhibit:
First-Showing the cost OF loan OF $4O0.
the borrower getting 500 back at maturity. A
man having a lot worth $500 can have house
worth $500 built on it, If he will put 300 cash
in the house, he carrying six shares at cost
OF $40 per month for seven years, making a
total payment, with all additional expense of
about $50, $i4l,60, and. receive 500 at ma
turity, leaving the loan cost an average OF OIL
per cent on the $500 for seven years.
second-showing the cost of $500 loan. A
man having a lot worth 5000 can get loan of
300 TO build house on il, he carrying five
shares at Il cost OF $3.50 per month for seven
years, making total payments with the adj d.
tional expense OF about So, $780, or aboIt Ga
per cent on the $500 for seven years.
Larger loans figure out proportioaately, the
interest seldom getting above per cent, AMI
the advance payments being only small pro-
pes zion of the loan glance over the report
of the state board OF examiners SHOWS that a
very large amount OF capital is invested in
local and national associations, which goes TO
show that the institutions have proved popu-
lar and u success Very few failures re-
ported. 1t is argued that If thos, desiring to
build homes would become members OF loan
associations, there would be little demand for
outside capital. Granting that man owns a
lot there seems little reason why he could not
build home for himself upon it, and by easy
pawn snts have it free from membranes at the
emf OF seven years.

of Abelard written about the year 1i2o.l

Des quill domage!
Pray God of His great mercy we
May never be so played upon
By Sathanas, as was His son,
Good Bishop Simplex You shall see.
One evening in the joyous spring,
The pious bishop at his door,
Right soberly the psalms did sing
And told his vespers DER and DER,
When sathanas, that devil vile
Came up from hell, him to beguile.
Pray for poor Bishop Simplex.
He made himself a maiden fair,
This cunning devil, bright of hair,
And soft OF eyes and debonaire,
With p easant skin, all red ana white,
And little waist, both limp and slight.
Father" this devil maiden said,
''Give help to lady in distress?
l am poor, rlorn princess
"The king, my father, fam would wed
Me to heather, pagan knight,
But rather far than put such slight
Upon the Holy Rood, fled
Forth from the palace in the night

And on his lips unusual words
Twittered of love, like little birds.
That cunning devil, in the dress
That BODY OF bright princess
Then said; 'Why should you fear to kiss
My mouth and taste the ntle bliss
OF maiden love? For fear OF hell?"
Then did the cunning devil tell
How good Saint Andrew saved, one day,
A wicked, bad old man, who lay
At helrs door smirched with naughty sin,
Which three-score years he'd reveled in;
And surely" sathanas did say,
zone little kiss won't hurt pin.
Tomorrow pray Saint Andrew-he
Will square the mat er easily"
The bishop listened, half content,
This way and that his will was bent.
Till, in his heart, he did consent,
And to that young princess said he,
81 have a garden fair to see
Wouldstlike to visit it, with me?"
Pray for poor Bishop Simplex.
"Yea" auoth the maid-but needs must wal
For there came hob ling through the gate
poor, old, attered beggar man,
Who begg I'd for sup OF pot OF pan.
The merry princess laughed with glee.
Such a ragged beggar man to see

ASK what you WILL" the old man said.
"Of all the works that God hath made
What hath within the small est space
Most marvels?"
Answered he: "The face"
"What is the spot OF all the earth
Is nearest heaven?"
''Where Christ had birth"
The merry princess marveled sore
To find such wit in one so old,
She knit her brows and unused, before
She asked again: ''Ah. nov behold
The distance between heaven and hell"
Satan !" the old man erie aloud.
"You measured it the time you fell"
And Satan vanished in cloud,
Which sulphurous and foul did smell.
No begGar man indeed, was he,
But blessed Andrew, who set Tree
The bishops soul from -atans gin.

Thanked good st Andrew, who did win

But within
