WHY SILVER DEPRECATED.

1t Was Not the Result Of Overproduction
but of Hostile Legislation.
A writer in the Chicago Record. dis.
cussing the question of why silver has
fallen in values, takes up the cost Of
producing both gold and silver and
says:
II hold that there is not an argument
produced to show that silver produc-
ton is cheaper that does not apply to
gold. / affirm that it costs less. dollar
for dollar. to produce gold than to
produce silver. l affirm that from the
great Bonanza mine the output was
AZ per cent silver and So per cent gold,
SO that if it was silver bonanza it
was per cent. more of a gold bonanza
mine. Again, it is fact that of the
silver now produced a large per cent
comes out of the mines that produce
both metals; mines that were it not
for the gold output could not be worked
at all OF the worlds output of gold
much more than half comes from al
luvial deposits, where the cost of pro-
1uction is merely nominal, while every
ounce of silver comes, from rock fs-
sures, where, from the very necessity.
the cost of production is expensive.
There is no question but that the
cost of production has very little to do
with the fall in values In this state
and all along the coast hundreds of
Chinese make living washing gold
out of the sand along the river banks,
at the expense of much less labor than
is expended in mining the same value
of gold, and comparing mine with
mine, the world over, probably the
labor, as the Record says, expended on
mining silver is much greater than
that employed in obtaining gold. The
labor argument was weak as the pro-
duction argument, whichsseeks to show
that the value of silver has fallen be-
cause there has been an overproduc-
ton of the white metal
The depreciation must be due to ar
tificial causes. OF course the friends
of gold declare that the law of supply
and demand is the only factor in de-
termining prices; but they forget that
in depriving silver of the demand for
it as money metal. the demand was de-
creased and its value fell.
Legislation is very potential factor
in sustaining the value of money. Here
is an example:
y
Austria and Russia demonetized gold.
In 1912 the English parliament enacted
a law stating that an ounce of gold
should never be worth less than
pounds II shillines and Q pence ster-
ling. Then. as now. England was the
great creditor nation of the earth
Australia and California were adding
hundreds of millions of gold annually
and these nations mentioned had de-
monetized it; yet the act of parliament
maintained gold steadily at its money
ratio value.
The passage by congress of an act
placing silver on an equal footing with
gold would at once increase the value
of the white metal. because it would
increase the demand for it, and would
add to the purposes for which it IS util-

who stripped his prisoners in thirty

over them until they were literally
frozen; the prince of Nasssu-Siegen.,
who was beaten by Gustavus Of sweden,

whom was written the unusual

CHAPTER x
THE End or THE ISLANDER

THE END OF THE ISLANDER.
Our meal was a merry one. Holmes
could talk exceedingly well when he
chose, and that night he did choose.
He appeared to be in a state of nerv-
Gus exaltation / have never known
him so brilliant. He spoke on a quick
succession of subjects,-on miracle
plays, on medieval pottery, on Stradi-
varius violins, on the Buddhism of Cey-
lon, and on the warships of the fu-
ture-handling each as though he had
made a special study of it. His bright
humor marked the reaction from his
black depression of the preceding days.
Athelney Jones proved to be sociab1e
soul in his hours of relaxation, and
faced his dinner with the air of a bon
vivant. For myself, 1 felt elated at
the thought that we were nearing the
end of our task, and I caught some
thing of Holmes gayety. None of US
alluded during dinner to the cause
which had brought us together.
When the cloth was cleared Holmes
glanced at his watch and filed up

"Yes-that green lamp at the side.

The small change was made, we
stepped on board, and the ropes were

the stern. There was one man at the
rudder, one to tend the engines. and
two burly police inspectors forward.

We have sympathy for our Republican
neighbour. the Sentinel. Ii has discovered one
serious defect 60 in the administration of the
election law in this county, and in its good
ness of heart and devotion TO honest and fair
elections since 1867, when the Republican
party was driven from power, has called for
its remedy by the Supervisors of Election and
County Commissioners.
The great wrong alluded to by our neigh
Dor is that the voting booths are in plain view
of elallengers in the polling room and voters
can be seen preparing their ballots, which it
saws constitutes serious obstacle in the way
Of casting a secret ballot, according 10 the
ossensi5le design Of the election lelc.
Tnsoranately for our now devotes Of honest
elections, il does not know any1hing about the
election Law. 1t acknowledges that it does
not know whether it is the duty Ct the Super
visors Of Election or County Commissioners to
correct this grave wrong, and it is sarprss-
ing that a great newspaper should undertake
TO discuss a law without having read 1t. It
ought TO have known that il the Comfy Com
rnissioners bad anything TO do with the ad-
ministration Of the law, there would have been
40 use in having Supervisors Of Election, and
vice versa. The expenses Of conducting cleo
tions. including booths, are paid for By the
Coauty Commissioners, just as other county
expenses are paid. and that is their only con
nection with the law, and IT may be proper to
remark Just here that the Commissioners have
met every demand Of the Supervisors Of Elec-
ton.
The Seaflael would correct It's grave
wrong, ''by placing a light, inexpensive sasr-
tain before each booth that scovld sbSed ~
roter from public ricr rbfe prspariasi bis
ballot" Were the editor Of the Ssatiasl a
member Of the board Of Supervisors Of Flee
tor and carried out bis ideas. he would get
himself in Jail, penifentiary or House Of Cor
reetion, and fined, too, for the law says
The arrangements shall be such that
neither the ballot boxes nor the voting shelves
or compartments shall be hidden from view Of
those Just outside Of the lsaidl gnard-rail.
Orr neighbor forgeis that these are days Of
Democratic rule, when elections are fair and
honest and held according to law. When the
Republican party held sway thousands of
Democrats were MOI allowed to vote At all.
every election Judge and clerk was a Repub
liean, aud the ballots were counted with no

The Baltimore lS,m rather complains that
the election Of delegates to the Democratic
State Convention in Baltimore and the conn
ties has been deferred this year to an unasual-
" late date.
The SuA's memory Is faulty. The state
convention was held on July 80 in 1881. Up
10 July Is but eleven counties had held con
ventions, and three Of these conventions were
only held few days before The 18th. Even
up 10 the 25th only fifteen Of the twenty-three
counties had spoken, leaving eight counties
and Baltimore to be heard from. OF the IF.

aud stir up all the strife il can, but ii ought TO
be fair In April il was very fearful the state
convention would be held in May, and that
snap Judgment would be taken By the po-
