l. therefore. give him credit for knowing
the law. while deliberately trying to Lde-
ceive the people.
Now, what are the facts? The reports
OF the treasury department, cyclopedlas
and all other sources of information give
the value of fine gold at $20.67 per ounce.
Then as $20,67 is to 450 grains so is one dol
lar to 1872 grains. which is the amount
OF fine gold in each dollar, rs per the act
of January IL, 1887. Again, the value of
standard gold 9-l0 fine Sl5.604 per ounce
(see American cyclopedia) Then as
Sls.604 is to 4S0 grains So is one collar to
25.S grains. which is the exact weight OF
the gold dollar as established June 2S,
1884, and January Is, 1887. They have
never been repealed.
Now this august senator may try some
tricks of the tongue TO make his asser.
tions plausible, by talking alloy, subtrac-
tion OF one tenth, etc. but even he is not
such an admirer of England as to say that
she VIII give us 500 for $50 worth OF gold
bullion. because we have put 10 per cent
of hat into it, (as is asserted by the SEN
ator.)
Let us send from the UNI ted States
treasury to the Bank of England 500 in
the bank as hullion it contains 1922
grains fine, or 1888 LII grains English
standard Hip fine, for which the bank $
compelled by law to pay f3. lis, Sd per
onuce, (see international cyclopedia.)
This will give us f20. los, 3 2-3d. We take
this to the United States mint and receive
$4. S665 per fl, or for the whole amount
S99 S377. being "A total loss of l6H cents
on 500 in selling the United States gold
coin as bullion in En- gland. and then selling
the English gold coin received for it as
bullion in the United States! This slight
loss being caused by the hank of England
putting in nearly 4-10 OF one penny less
gold in the sovereign than she pays for
it al bullion. Whereas the United States
does put in each gold coin its face value
in bullion. T. II. j.. LEE.

Here Ia IOod Sense

Downey Champion: We deem the re-
cent escapades of Mr.. Warren, a reporter
of the Los ngeles Herald, who was de-
tailed TO play the role Of tramp and later
that of lunatic. that the reading pubic
might be made wiser by bis published
experience, as strictly in the line of pro-
gressive journalism. With all due defer
ence to the judge who has cited the
young man to answer the charge of con-
tempt. we are of the op Union that the
only way to ''get on the inside" Of the
workings of public institutions is through
just such strategy as employed by the
managers of The Herald, and that theii
agent ought not to be made to suffer
when there was no intent to invade the
dignity Of the court.

Deceptive Senator Turpie

Editor Herald THAT tricky Tur.
pie said at Memphis June 18th,
"No denomination of the gold coin
age of the United States has bull
lion value equal to the legal tender thereof.
/ state the fact! The who! of the gold
coinage is tithed. 1t is placed under par
bullion value by the subtraction of one
tenth! The missing tenth is what is call
ed alloy; of course this alloy reduces the
commercial value as metal of the whole
series OF gold coin. According to the
test-that the legal value shall equal the
bullion value-there is not an honest coin
in the treasury. There is not piece OF
sound safe money in the country"
The above is either true or false. Which?

The retirement of Lord Rosebery from
the premiership of Great Britain and the
ascendancyeof Lord Salisbury marks al
most a retrogressive tendency in British
politics. The retiring minister is one OF
the most progressive Of English states
men, while his successor is relic of the
Beaconsiield era OF jipgoism which re-
sorted to some very questionable me ans
to spread the power and dominion of
Great Britain, regardless of the burdens
inflicted upon the already overtaxed SUBJ
jects of Queen Victoria. Rosebery, like
his predecessor, Glad stone, has aspired
on the other hand to inaugurate meas
ures intended to b etter the condition of
the people at home, which is more in the
line OF true craftsmanship than the style
of politics INDUCED IN ~ the Tory party
under Beaconsiield and Salisbury.

ON A SURE FOUNDATION

Nearly ten houses day are built in the
city of Los Angeles. This is a record
that few cities in the country can equal
and shows that Southern California is
still reaping the benefits from the adver-
tising done a few years ago during boom
times. .-Visalia Times.
There is no doubt that the boom OF
1867, while disastrous to many individ-
uals of a speculative turn, centered the
attention of the world on Southern Cali
fornia, and made its resources and cli-
matte attractions famous. But we are
no longer resting our case on the adver-
tising OF that era, but on the undoubted
merits of the country as understood APP
preciated and daily proclaimed by the
tens OF thousands who have selected it
for a home since. The sub stantial char
acter of this region has been shown in its
steady growth since the season of town
lot auctions. Every other boom period
in the history of the United States was
followed by general collapse of the bust
ness of the doomed section and a long
season Of depression. But with South
ern California it has been decloedly dif-
ferent. With the cessation of the boom
commenced the solid, legitimate develop
ment, and not a wear has passed but what
has seen a splendid addition to the pop
ulation and wealth OF the southern part
of the state. The foundation of our fu-
ture greatness is I'm bedded in the produc-
tive power of our natural opportunities
and those climatic elements that make
possible the realization of ideal comfort.
