CHAPTER v.
THE BEGINNING OF THE QUEST.


THE BEGINNING OF THE QUEST.
Something more than a month from
the day when Senior Strickland and
/ made our compact to search for the
secret city of the Indians, we found
ourselves, together with Molas, at Vera
Cruz waiting for ship to take US to
Frontera.
At Vera Cruz we purchased such
articles as were necessary to our jour-
ney, not many, for we could not be sure
of finding means to carry them. Among
them were hammocks, three guns that
would shoot either ball or shot, with
ammunition, as many revolvers, some
medicine, blankets, boots and spare
clothes.
Also we took with us all the money
that we had, amounting to something
over fifteen hundred dollars in gold,
which sum we divided between us, car
rying it in belts.
We took passage in a Mexican boat
called the Santa Maria.
She was an old sailing vessel of not
more than two hundred and fifty tons
burden that had been converted by her
owners into a paddle-wheel steamer,
with the result that except in favor
able weather she could neither sail nor
steam with any speed or safety, and
her business was to trade with passen-
gers and cargo between Vera Cruz and
the ports of Frontera and Campeche.
"Where for?" asked the agent of the
Senior Strickland, as he filed in the
tickets.
"Frontera," he answered. "Your boat
stops there, does she not?"
"0h, certainly, senor," he said, as he
pocketed the dollars, and yet all the
while this shameless rogue knew that
she had orders to touch at Campeche,
which is the furthest port, first, and re-
turn to Frontera week later.
Among the passengers was one, a
man of not more than thirty years of
age, who particularly attracted our at
tention. He was large, handsome and
coarse and had Indian blood in his
veins, as was shown by the darkness of
his color and the thick, black eye
brows that gave truculent expression
to his face. While L was wondering
who he might be, Molas made sign to
me to come aside and said:
"You see yonder man with the silver
buttons on his coat? He is Don Jose
Moreno, the son of that Don Pedro
Moreno who waylaid and robbed me of
the nuggets which the old Indian gave
me. Teware of him, lord, and bid the
Englishman do Me same, for, like his
father; ne is bad man."
While Molas Whs talking bell had
been rung for dinner, but waited till
he had finished before going down. At
the door of the cabin met the captain,
a stout man with face like full moon
and bland s4lile.
"What do hi AzEzmsss2n he ask

THERE is no man in the United
States whose financial ideas and
policy have been subjected to more
adverse criticism and bitter denunci-
alton at the hands of the Democratic
party, than have those Of the senior
senator from Ohio Not only have
his monetary views been assailed,
but there has been very little hesita-
tion in impugning his personal in
tegrity.
This has been especially true in
the South, and his action 10 bringing
about the decentralization of silver in
1873 has been condemned with a
unanimity seldom witnessed.
To-day, hundreds of Democratic
newspapers, and thousands Of Demo
cratic office-hoders, are landing Mr..
Sherman to the skies Not directly,
it is true, but none the less so in
fact.
The sound (0 money policy of
Cleveland and Carlisle is receiving
their most enthusiastic endorsement.
What is that but endorsing Sher-
man? ) The only difference between
Cleveland and Sherman upon the
Silver question is, that the former is
the more extreme and unyielding of
the two. This probably comes from
the difference in their mental char
acteristics. Cleveland is dull, dog
matte, obstinate, and outspoken.
Sherman is keen, smooth, cautious
and diplomatic. Cleveland takes a
position and clings to it tenaciously.
Sherman can and does shift his atti-
tude as public opinion changes.
But their views are essentially the
same. Both are in perfect accord
with the great money power" of
New York and London. Both make
the interests of Wall street para
mount to the interests of the count try
as a whole. Both believe that The
financial policy of the government
should be SO shaped as to directly
benefit the money centers, upon the
theory perhaps, that if Wall street
can enjoy a superabundance Of pros
perity, the rest of the country may
catch little of the overflow.
1t never occurs to either of them
that the country could get along
without Wall street, but that Wall
street could not possibly get along
without the country. Both seem to
think that the whole industrial sys-
tenn of the United States is merely
an adjunct to the business. of bank
ing.
Mr.. Sherman is not in favor of re-
firing the greenbacks just now but
that is not because of AN indisposition
to favor the bonds. He is shrewd
enough to see that such a measure
would not be popular at this time
He is therefore willing enough to
issue bonds to raise money for the
current expenses of the government,
but not for the withdrawal of the
greenbacks. By this course he can
reach practically the same result, SO
far as the maintenance OF the gold
reserve is concerned, and also cast a
little odium upon the tariff policy of
the Democratic party.
Upon the money question proper
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Sherman are
as near alike as 'tweedledee and
tweedledum. So when the cuckoo"
sings his praises of Cleveland. let it
not be forgotten that the financial
virtues of Sherman are included in
the refrain.
