value. The same number of grains of
pure silver are worth about one thirty
second as much. If the unit of value
were made 30, 10 or 10 grains, the re-
lation between the value of gold and
silver would not be altered in the least.
What would happen would be that every
contract made payable in dollars would
be cut down in proportion to the reduc-
tlon in the weight of the unit, thus rob-
bling by law all creditors of a part of
their property. The real value of gold
or silver in relation to other commodi-
ties would not change, but the term
dollar" would mean less value than it
does now. In other words, decrease in
the weight of the gold unit would mean
a debasement of the currency similar to
increasing the quantity of cheap metal
used as alloy in coins.
1t cannot be too often pointed out that
In their last analysis al19heap money
schemes, and especially the free coinage
of silver, involve positive dishonesty
on the part of the government. Goods
having been sold, capital loaned or con-
tracts for payment of wages made or a
standard of value established by con-
gress it is coolly proposed that the value
of goods, capital or wages shall be cut
down by decreasing the measure of val
ues. Such action might be popular with
some creditors and employees, who
would be able to escape from part of
their obligations. But every principle of
common honesty and justice would
stamp legislation for that purpose as
fraudulent and opposed to the hest inter
ests in the long run Of debtors as we'll
as creditors. Civilized societies have
long passed the stage when it was
thought just and expedient to repudiate
lawful obligations.

ton to increase the amount Of silver in
the "dollar" is not open to the charge
of dishonesty if he means that the coins

entirely unsuited to the needs Of a great

Steadily Losing Ground.

The Hon. Tom L. johnson Of Ohio,
who has taken the trouble to inforl,
himself on the currency feeling in the
west, recently expressed the following
opinion:
81 look for short, sharp fight be-
tween the forces Of cheap money and
sound money and the utter defeat of
the silverites. Free silver people never
had the strength they boast Of There
is a good deal Of noise, it is true, but
when it comes to counting noses, they
are generally in the minority. The fact
is, each successive congress since the
F'ifty-first shows great falling off of
freesilver followers. In the Fifty-second
congress there was tie vote in the DOB.
ular house on the Bland bill, and this
was the zenith Of the silver craze. Its
nadir is in the future. The Improvement
in business conditions is not calculated
to support the claims of the silverites.
They have based their agitation mainly
ON discomfort springing largely from
the unemployed class, and now that
these are becoming fewer every day the
silver followers grow beautifully less"

bitrary relative values on gold and sill

OF the world today. In other words. an
ounce Of gold is worth as much as 70
ounces of silver, and the United States
cannot change that relative valuation
and permanently maintain such change

ALL DEBTORS NOT DISHONEST.
Free Silver Means That Creditors Are to
Lose so Per Cent.

breo Silver Means That Creditors Are ia
Lose so Per Cent.
Is the proposition for "free silver at
10 to 1" expedient and honest?
Stripped of verbiage, the proposition
Is for this government to embark in the
immediate and unlimited coinage of sill
yer dollars, each dollar to contain an
proximately 30 cents worth of silver
bullion; to discard all provisions for
guaranteeing the concurrent circulation
and parity of gold and silver, and to
compel by law the acceptance of the
new dollars in payment of all debts.
The object is to reduce the value of
the dollar about one-half, and by fore
ing creditors to take this dollar for debts
to scale all existing obligations. The
only exception will be where the shrew9
creditor has stipulated for payment in
gold. Such creditor will be paid in full,
but the unsuspecting man or woman
who has merely trusted to the honor of
the nation is to be "done up" just in
proportion as the dollar is scaled.
The Populists are solid for this
scheme. It's in their line of business.
They are opposed to dollar having any
intrinsic value, but if they must have
dollar worth anything at all the less it
is worth the better it suits them. Very
few Republicans take any stock in the
scheme, and the more it is studied the
sooner it will be dropped by all think
ing men.
The agitators assume, because Kansas
people are in debt, that every Kansas
man ought to join in the clalnor for
such dollars I deny that it is the duty
of any man, because he lives in Kansas
and is in debt, to favor scheme which
his conscience tells him is wrong
am as much in debt as the average
Kansan, but cannot see why this fact
should blind the conscience or destroy
the ability Of man to reason on such
questions. Ibelieve in bimetallism and
In the use Of the largest volume of sill
YER as standard money which can be
maintained at a parity with our gold
and paper money, SO that all of our dol

bulky and inconvenient for general use.
A coin twice as large, as dollar worth
its face as bullion would necessarily be,
would not be used at all. Besides the
continually changing value of silver,
owing to increased or decreased produc-
ton or consumption, would require its
constant recoining at great expense in
order to adjust the coin value to the
commercial value. There is no need of
such coin, and as neither silverites nor
sound money advocates want it its dis
advantage need not be seriously discuss
ed. The American people want neither
IL 80 grains gold dollars or 7421a
grains silver dollars, and agitators for
either are merely disturbing business to
no purpose. Neither do they wish to
risk the great dangers of experimenting
with different ratios unless it is abso-
lutely certain that they will be benefit
ed by the change.

The Gold Endorsement sustains Silver.

The theory that we have lsNely had

gestion that we had it in the early part
OF the century. If offer my note when

count it,; If / procure the Endorsements

discounted at once 1t would be the in
dorsement, however, and not the note
which would have passed current. For
generation our half dollars, quarter
dollars, ETC., have nominally passed cur
rent. Actually, however, it is the gold
Endorsement of the government that has
been accepted. A silver dollar TO-DAY
consists of half dollars worth of sill

solvent government it passes for dol.

Attorney In tho Case.

Attorney In tho Case.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.--Dlstrict At
-tnrney Barnes did net finish his speech I'm
the Theodore Durrant trial yesterday. He
spoke until time for court TO adjourn and
then announced that he would not finish
until today. As Judge Murphys charge
Is understood to be very long, it is be-
lievcd the jury will not retire before this
evening.
That Durrant Is not only monster,
wv n criminal whose actions both before
and since April 3 have been in keeping
with the actions Of other great criminals.
were the statements that the district at
torney endeavored to keep before the jury.
As the attorney dwclt upon the ghoulish
nature of "a man who would steal the
rings from the body Of an innocent girl
that he had murdered, his denunciation OF
the defendant became SO bitter that Mrs.
Durrant was unable to retain her com.
posure. She burst into tears, and flung
her arms about the neck of her son as IL
to shield him from the torrent of invective
Of which he was being made the object.
Durrant remained measurcably calm, but
his mother, although she made several
efforts, could not control her emotion.
In the meantime the district attorney,
who did not notice her state, his faccsbeing
turned away, continued his scathing argli-
ment, until Juror Smythe finally brought
the incident TO u close by asking FOR five
minutes recess. The request was granted,
and when the proceedings were resumed
Mrs. Durrant had recovered herself. The
merclless arraignmcnt OF the defendant
continued, however.
Theodore Durrant," said Mr.. Barnes.
Stands forth in American Jurisprudence
today as the most brutal criminal of the
age. He Is creature beside whom
Holmes Is perfect gentleman, beside
whom Professor Webster was "a king, and

'He took this child into the church alone,
and enticcd her by what means we know
not up to the belfry. She was alone with
him in the great building, this weak and
sickiy child unable physically TO cope
with this monster. No one was there TO
come to her aid, no one could hear her cry
for mercy rs it fell on his callouscd ears
She stood alone tho prospective victim of
lustful murderer, "a murderer that shall
be spoken Of by our children, your chill
dren's children, until the end of history Of
Jurisprudence.
There arc no witnesses to tell us the
details of the awful struggle between vir
tue and vice, but there are circumstances
fraught with more meaning than words
that tell the whole story, and declare
