the team.
Mccain played second base for Norfolk
for the first time ana showed up fairly
wen, and Childs donned the mask for the
Green and Gray" and did more towards
winning the game than anybody on the
team. Norfolks errors were at critical
times while POrtsmOuth's dld not amount

CHAMP CLARK TALKS.
His Speech at Alton, Illinois, . Com
binatiOn Of Words Of WI sdOm.

Champ Clark made speech at Al
ton. Illinois. last Saturday. Among
other things he said:
By common consent the Tariff aud
every other issue must be held In
abeyance while finance is discussed.
Wherever two or three American citi-
zens are gathered together money rs
the topic Of conversation. This ques-
tion as II now presents itself Is one OF
the most nomentous that ever engaged
the minds Of men.
Let no man mistake, disguise or
belittle the issue.
1t is not q mere squahble about
ratios. 1t goes far beyond tAat.
1t is the appalling question wheshsr
this country-the hope of liberty asd
Of the world-freighted with All The
human heart holds dear = shall be
placed forever and forever on the
single gold basis, which means CON-
stantly contracting per capita volume
OF currency, entailing unspeakable
penury. suffering and bankruptcy on
the people, with few moneyed. and
landed aristocrats and millions Of
serfs, or whether, on the other hand.
1t shall be placed on the bimetallic
basis, thereby securing continuous and
widespread prosperity. millions OF
happy homes and an ever-increasing
measure OF freedom TO the great body
Of the people.
That Is the awful question pressing
for solution at this moment, or all
history 10 lie. A greater will never
be discussed among men; for 1t affects
the life- blood of the commercial world.
Upon the action of the United States
depends whether the business of the
human race shall begin a process OF
gradual but certain starvation and die
Of inanltion, or whether 1t shall expe-
, rience new birth and send its life-
giving currents 10 the uttermOst ends
Of the earth.
In the presence of this stupendous
, issue men who have wives and little
children must stand aghast; for, ac-
cording TO Lord Bacon, they have
! given hostages to fortune.
This issue rises like Mount Saint
Elias among the molehills above all
personalities and personal consider
! tions.
SOME ANrEcEDENT FACTS.
1t is necessary TO understand several
; astecedent facts in order to form any
/ intelligent opinion on the question Of
bimetalism:
First-Money Is an artificial cOntri-
, vance devised solely for the purpose OF
facilitating commerce. What 1t should
consist Of was originally purely mat
ter OF agreement.
| Second-For various reasons, both
gold aud silver had been the money OF
mankind from the earliest dawn oi
civilization until John Sherman played
il on hi- countrym men in IA way they dtd
not understand IN 1873. The chisl
