amount of ega! tender money in use, or avail able for use. Is less now in proportion to the total indebtedness than 1t was at the time the indebtedness was contracted. Neither of these propositions can be established. The entire indebtedness of our peeple-that is, the cur rent indebtedness contracted in the transac- ton Of their ordinary business-haS been in- cured since the passage of the act of 1873, adopting the gold standard Of value, and cer- tafnly there is no injustice in requiring pay ment to be made in the kind Of money recognized by Jaw at the date of the contract. While we know very nearly the amount of legal tender money in eireula- tion, or available for use, in the country at different periods, there are no authentic statistics showing the total amount of indebt- edness at any given date, and, therefore, it is not possible to make absolutely correct comparison between the amount of suCh money and the amount Of Indebtedness: tut there is no reason to believe that the proportion has changed to the advantage of the debtor. Ger talnIy the advocates of free coinage have not proved, or, so far as know, even attempted to prove, that such change has occurred. and their argument upon this subject is, therefore, founded upon mere assertion unsupported by evidence. In order to show that the adoption and maintenance of the gold standard Of value has enriched or has a tendency to enrich, the holders of capital at the expense of the produ- cers, 1t would be necessary to prove that money yields larger ploiit to the owner under such a monetary system than It would under dif- fernt one.

FOUR THOUSAND PEOPLE.
The Audience Cheered Loudly
the Advocate of the White
Metal.
DID NOT LIKE CLEVELAND.
Mention Of the Presidents Name
Drew Out Big Storm OF
DiSapprobation.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. 2.-An audi
ence of nearly 1000 people assembled at
Hazards Pavilion tonight to listen to the
debate between Thomas V. Gator and
Colonel John P. Irish on the silver ques-
ton. Congressman McLachIan presided
and his introduction of Mr.. Gator was re-
ceived with tumultuous applause.
Mr.. Gator, after few mplimentary re-
marks to his audience, launched into his
subject with great earnestness, presented
some statistics regarding silver, and then
stated that scare had been made by the
goldbugs, saying that this country would
be flooded by foreign silver if free coin
age act were passed, answering it with the
statement that no more money could be
coined than the industries could use.
II gold standard was to be maintained
the farming classes would be wiped out,
the Nation would be destroyed and general
bankruptcy would result.
Colonel Irish, in his reply, said that he
was glad that he had been honored with a
call to duty outside of political cam
paign, especially to discuss a question so
vital to his country's welfare.
He reviewed the financial condition and
legislation of the country from 1893 to the
present date. quoted from Jefferson and
Macaulay. and stated that he stood with
patriots and statesmen such as Jefferson,
Jackson, Benton, Hunter, and Grover
Cleveland. At the mention of Cleveland
name perfect storm of Kisses arose from
the audience, which provoked from the
colonel the remark that only two classes
of animals Missed - snakes, who were
venomous, or geese, who were silly.
The colonel went on to remark that any
thing stamped dollar did not necessarily
represent dollar; that an imitation of cur
rency meant destruction of public credit
and private prosperity; that there never
had been and never would be enough
money to pay all the debts of the world.
He reviewed the prices of cotton and
wheat, denied that the fluctuations in
silver affected them and stated that
America was never more prosperous than
when under gold standard.
Mr.. Gator, in his reply. aroused the
audience to the very zenith of enthusiasm
by fling at the present administration.
Said he: ain answer to my friends state
ment that the best and only money for
the workingman is gold, I would ask you
if the Rothschilds and all the goldbugs
are surrounding Congress in the inter
ests of the workingmen. The time has
come for US to assert our American
manhood. to dictate the financial policy Of
the Nation instead of being dictated to-to
crush Wall street. the most dangerou:
enemy that menaces our country, and to
place in Office men of ability, patriotism
and honesty.

tomorrow, and after a debate there will
proceed north over the Southern Pacific
line, stopping at the larger towns en- route

THOUGHT It WAS CHOLERA
San Bernardino Citizens Made
IL! and Badly Scared
by Buttermilk.
No Fatal Cases, but the Physicians
Puzzled as to the Real
Cause.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Oct. g.
There was big scare at Cotton last night,
when dozen or more prominent citizens
of both sexes were seized with collie symp-
toms of such violence as to suggest cholera.
Every doctor in town was busy for two
hours with suddenly stricken patients.
Among them were Mrs. A. B. Miner
Mrs. John Platt, Mrs. Blakely and William
Button. All of them suffered through the
night very severely and one patient is still
unable to leave her bed. Investigation to-
day revealed the fact that all who were
poisoned had taken buttermilk from John
L. Clifford, who buys all the product of
the creamery established here last month
and delivers it over his regular route.
he weather has been unusually close
and sultry for the past few days, and milk
and cream everywhere have soured in half
the customary time. 1t is not believed
that any of the cans were foul nor that
chemical action produced by heat created
a poisonous compound. Physicians are
discussing whether or not new form of
tyrotoxicon has been developed. and alto
gether the cases make very interesting
study and may serve to add something to
ma terra medica.
Another theory advanced is that the
milkman, to keep the milk from spelling,
introduced some substance harmless in
itself but in com bination creating poison.

THE OTHER HAS GONE INSANE
On Seeing One Dead and the
Other Ill Hugh Lost His
Mind.

RIVERSIDE, CAL, Oct. pa terrible
accident, in which one man lost his life
and another his reason and third lies
dangerously poisoned by noxious gases, is
reported from West Riverside, settlement
west of this city. William, Hugh and
Thomas Higgins. brothers, were engaged
in digging well, and when they had
reached depth of 1O2 feet rock was en-
countered.
Dynamite was used for blasting. The
men placed couple of blasts late yester-
day afternoon, only one of which ex-
ploded. Will Higgins was lowered into
the we'll by his brothers to investigate.
Soon after reaching the bottom Higgins
signaled his brothers to haul him up. This
they started to do, but the unfortunate
man was too much overcome to hold on TO
the bucket, and he fell out after being
raised probably twenty feet. A death wall
was all that was heard after the fall. The
brothers surmised the worst, and Thomas
started down to recover the injured man.
He too was soon nearly overcome, but not
before he had placed the dead body in the
buggy and gave the signal to hoist. Hugh
Higgins, who had remained at the top, was
suddenly bereft of his reason when he saw
the lifeless bodyo Will and the terrible
condition of Thomas.

Commander Mulldn of the Marion Tries
to Obstruct State official.
VALLEJO, CAL, Oct. 2-Ben Richie, a
sailor belonging to the Marion, was fined
$40 Tuesday evening by Justice Ryan of
this place for disturbing the peace. On
Wednesday morning Deputy Sheriff An
derson was permitted to take Richie on
board the Marion that he might get the
amount of the fine.
D. w. Mullan, commanding officer of
the ship, ordered Richie forward and
would not give Anderson any satisfaction
regarding the fine. When these facts were
reported to Justice Ryan he went over to
the navy-yard and laid the matter before
Captain Barker, who was acting COM
mandant in the absence of Captain Howl
son.
The result of the interview was that an
order was placed in the hands of Deputy
Sheriff Anderson directing the commander
of the Marion to either produce Richie or
the amount of his fine, $40. Richie was pro-
duced and brought over to this side. where
he thought he could raise the amount of
his fine.

Los ANGELES MYSTERY.
The Greek ConsaEs Daughter and SercGnt
Still Undiscovered.

The Greek ConsaEs Daughter and Sercant
Still Undiscovered.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. Ut is now
seventeen days since Adrian Pavlides dis
appeared from the residence OF her father,
DR.. Pavlides, the Greek Consul, at 1927
Flower street, in company with the maid
servant, Adelaine LePage. 1t is as much
mystery to-day where the girls are as it
was an hour after their disappearance was
made known.
Detectives, police officers, Deputy Sher-
ifs and constables have been securing all
Southern California, but not the slightest
trace or clew of the missing girls, nor of
Edward L. Ranged, who left with them,
has been found.
Adelaine LePage, the servant, had had
some words with DR.. Pavlides few days
before she left, and it was thought that
possibly she had persuaded the doctors
daughter to leave with her to brighten her
parents. If this was the girls object she
has succeeded, for DR.. Pavlides does not
think that he will ever see his daughter
again.
Many theories have been advanced, but
everybody is in the dark. The mystery is
growing to be as deep as that which sur
rounded the Charley Ross case
