Can 1t be True?

From the Wilmington Messenger.
We were conversing not long ago
with a gentleman of marked intelli-
gence who has spent most of the
last two years in New York city
Referring to the tremendous efforts
in the North to try to make the
people at large believe it was to
their interest to have nothing but
gold for legal tender money and
after having desnonetized silver
practically to keep it henceforth as
nothing but commodity, he said
this: that he was informed that up
to some weeks ago the money power
had obtained control of 900 news
papers that We're topubllsh whatever
gold literature might be sent them.
What proportion are Democratic
was not stated, and how much had
been paid for this wholesale sub
sidizing of the press was not known.
If this is true then what of free and
untrammelled press? What of the
press being the conservators OF
liberty and the friends OF a popular
government of the peopl-? We can
not imagine what would be more
deplorabl more dangerous, more
destructive of good laws and good
order than for 81 large part of the
American press to become purchas
able and subservient to power. W.
must hope that the Information was
not we'll based.

into line with fashion, or n cluster of gay
flowers may be worn, large and vivid
enough to impart character to the gown.
The putting of wires in the hem of skirts
is a custom more honored' in the breach
than the observance. Wire makes the folds
angular and unmanageable and its use
tells all too plainly that the wearer is try
ing to get fashionable effect without go
ing to the expense of buying the necessary
haircloth.
The illustration shows two pretty gowns
for girls from 10 to IA years old. The first
Is of blue and white striped crepon. The
godet skirt has n ruchc. of blue satin
around the foot and occasional knots of the
same material. The bodice has n square
lace guimpe framed by satin ruche Bre-
tclles of satin arc crossed in front and fas-
tened under the belt, which has knot and
long ends. The balloon sleeves have deep
cuffs and lace epaulets. The second gown
has godet skirt of silver gray crepon with
bias band of emerald velvet around the
foot, below which is narrow edge of white
guipure. The box plated blouse has q
round yoke of guipure surrounded by a
band Of velvet and a narrow guipure edge.
The balloon sleeves are also box plated
and have Essp velvet cuffs.

The Silver Question.

Senator Vest
The threat is constantly made
that free coinage will bring this
country to an exclusively silver
basis, and that gold will disappear.
1t is said by prophets of evil that all
of our Indebtedness held by foreign
ers will be sent here for payment and
that no more foreign capital will he
loaned in the United States. All
this sounds bad; hardly think the
consequences are quite SO deplorable
as represented. AS to the threat
that gold will leave us, | have only
to say that even if it did, l would
prefer that contingency to present
conditions. believe in real bimetal
lism, the use of both gold and silver
as standard money, but if we must
have one metal or the other,
would take silver, for we would then
at least be Independent instead o.
being the tail of the English kite.

1t would be necessary to go through
course of close study as to England's Ash

between them and that tributary to the
Russian ear to understand England sour
rent s'Iittle war; but in q general way
the facts are about as follows: The scene
of the disturbance is known as Kashgar,
or Chitral, which lies north of the militia
nv station of Peshawur, west of the Swat
valley and east Of Kafiristan- The princi-
pal town of the region is also known as
Chitral. 1t is situated near the Dora pass,
on the southern slope of the wild and well
nigh impossible Hindu-kush mountains,
about s. 600 feet above sea level and 200
miles or Whereabouts north IF PeshaWur,
the most advanced post of the British in
India.
This may not be very cnlightening, but
the situation Will be clarified by the state
ncnt that the Hindu-kus mountains arc
the great barrier between John Bull and

distinction between mere surface

SPEAKER said:
Perhaps this distinction can he
made still clearer by taking the
concrete case of "A person who, in my

A Financial Charlatan.

The Minneapolis Tribune says: "Con-
gresham Joseph G. Sibley of Pennsyl-
vania is put forward as the silverite
candidate for the presidency. Mr.. Sib-
ley is not widely known to the country,
but he gave the public some taste Of his
quality in his speech at the Memphis
convention on Wednesday evening The
gist Of his speech is contained in the
four following political axioms, which,
be says, embody the result Of his study
Of the money question:
"'First. Double the volume of mon
ey, and you double prices.
"'Second.- the volume of
money, and you divide prices
""Third. Double the volume of mon
ey, and you divide the debts
Fourth. Divide the volume of
money, and you double the debts.
"If Mr.. Sibley's first proposition were
true, how easy it would be for govern
ment to regulate values by simply in
creasing or decreasing the volume Of
circulating medium. If doubling the
volume would double values, quadrup-
ling it would quadruple values and in
creasing it a thousandfold would make

SILVER AND PRICES.
Commodities Havo Fallen Twenty Per Cent
Silver Has Reduced One-half


In his speech at Gainesville, Ga. on
July %, the Hon. Hoke Smith said:
The claim, therefore, that the money
Of fiual payment has been reduced one
half, thereby depriving the public of
sufficient volume, Is simply groundless.
We still use gold and silver both and
have more than we ever had prior to
the passage Of the act of 1878. The
claim also that the currency has con-
tracted, thereby appreciating the value
of gold, is shown to be false by the
enormous output of gold last year. It
was the largest In the worlds history
and amounted to $1s1, 100000. The
worlds coinage Of gold in 1898 rose to
$3.50, 1855, 900, and that Of silver to
$135, 3S9, 900, making the largest year.
ly coinage in the worlds history, with
possibly ono exception. The worlds
stock in full legal tender, gold and sill
yer, today Is, by the largest statistics,
$s, 900, 900 gold and SO, 485, 800, 900
silver, and it must not be forgotten that
even though the gold standard may be
In force, the silver coined furnishes
money for final redemption to relieve
the pressure upon gold, just as if it had
been coined upon free coinage plan.
The claim that gold has appreciated,
thereby depreciating the value Of prod
ucts, is based upon the theory that the
decrease in the value Of silver and in
the value Of products has been contem-
poraneous. A careful examination Of
the facts shows this not to be true. The
average decrease of commodities since
1878 has been about 20 per cent. The
heaviest decline has been in tho line Of
those things which the masses of the
people buy. All these reductions in
prices are partly attributed to O lessened
cost Of production and partly to the re-
cent panic. While the commodities have
fallen 30 per cent silver has fallen so
per cent.
But to consider particular articles: In
1878 corn sold for Al cents bushel; sill
yer was worth $1.31 an ounce. In 1895
corn sold for 50 cents; silver was worth
81 cents an ounce. Silver had fallen so
per cent and corn had risen 25 per cent.
In 1878 wheat was worth $1.17 bush
el silver was $l.31 an ounce. In 1878
wheat was $l.34 a bushel; silver was
81. 10 an ounce. In 1880 wheat was 80
cents; silver $l.04. In 1896 wheat was
IS cents bushel; silver 81 cents an
ounce.
Cotton. This is the production in
which our people are directly interested.
The claim that the value Of cotton de-
pended upon the rise or fall of silver
has been shown to be without founda-
tion this year. Cotton in tho last four
months has risen 80 per cent; silver 5
per cent. Prior to 1878 the price Of COT
ton varied from to 40 cents. Silver
never fell below $l.29. In 1s45 cotton
sold for cents. Silver was then $l.32
