MAN OVERHEARD
The Maybird's bowsprit went through our
weather rigging, smashing things right and
lett so that our topmast was carried away
and went tumbling down to leaward, taking
our bowsprit off short. The Maybrd's bow
pushed against our weather side with such
torce that the Florlna was thrown on her
Deam ends, the water rising to the compan-
conway and pouring into the cabin.

presumption of that claim until Collinson had
satisfied himself of the whereabouts OF the
missing propriet5rs. Was he quite sure that
Collnson would not revisit the spot when he
had gone? But he was equal to the emer-
gency.
He had intended to leave his horse with
Skinner as security for Collinsons provisions
but Skinner's liberaity had made this un-
necessary. and he offered 1t to Collinson to
use and keep for him until called for. This

Hon. Oscar R. Rundey Speaks Out in No Un-
 certain Tones.

Huntsville Oct 29. To the Progressive Age
 In reply to your request that I give you my views upon the financial question now agitating our country, l will state, that am in favor of the free and unlim- ited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to' 1. l am opposed to single gold stand ard, and as l would be opposed to sim gle silver standard I am now, and have always been, in favor of maintaining the public credit, both of the state and the nation, and I believe that every dol- lar should be worth 100 cents. I fail to appreciate the arguments made by the advocates of the gold standard, that the free coinage of silver would depreciate the currency, for I am enough of an American to believe that this Is the great est nation on the face of the earth, and that we are amply able to protect our credit and our currency without foreign concurrence. I believe in popular gov ernment, and the right of the majority of the people to rule the destinies of this country, and believe the placing of this country upon the single gold basis will result in placing the commerce of the country in the hands of favored few, to the serious detriment of the great masses of the people. The power of wealth like political power, becomes greater and greater as it Is curtailed in the hands of the Cow. Thomas Jefferson correctly stated the cardinal rule of de- mocracy, when he said: Keep the ap- pointing power as near the people as pos sible." Upon this great basic principle I am opposed to centralizing the power of the party in the hands of an executive committed and upon the same principle. do oppose any system of finance which will permit the minority to set the pace at which the great majority of freemen must mark time may say in passing, that have always maintained. and shall continue to maintain. that the interests of the people can best be conserved through the democratic party.

 "Bread is one article of food that is cheaper in England and Scotland than in this country" said MT. John Stephensonof of Glasgow, Scotland. MT. Stephenson and a brother conduct bakery establishments in Glasgow and London, the largest, per haps, in the world certainly the largest in Europe.
 ''The people on our side" he continued, Feat more bread than do the citizens of America, and not so much meat and veg etables, which are dearer in Great Britain than in this country. We make two- pound loaves of square form, the weight of which must be stamped on each loaf. and the law against light weight bread is very rigid. Every week we consume $500 barrels of flour, the biggest part of which comes from the United States. Of late we have been getting little from Aus tralia.

Interesting Politician and Broker

NEW YORK, Nov. 80. The stock mar.
ker today was fairly active for a half hol-
iday, and reflected chiefly professional
operators. The opening was very dull,
but sharp covering movement started
in the industrials early, led by Sugar.
That stock rose a and Western Union 1.
The raj. road list was unfavorably affected
by the lower London prices and foreign
selling in this market. During the last
nour the abatement OF the covering de-
maj caused recessions generally, and
the market closed active anc irregular
with special pleasure against the railroad
list. The sales for the day were 14l, 70U
shares.
The speculation for the week had not
been especially interesting. AT the outset
fairly we'll sustained rally in p:ices
came in response to an encouraging tone
in foreign advices, which appeared to in
dicate that tho complications of the East
ern que utstions were less acute. Europe,
however, 1t turns out, is still struggling
with Its liquidation of South African
mining stocks. and ohis is reflected, not
only in the presence of the demand in
Europe for our railroad securities, but
also in sporadic sales OF gond stocks in Or
der to protect the deprecated kafi!rs.
Foreign exchange continues at the gold
export point, but the shipments for the
week have been considerably less than
the exorts of the previous weeks, as the
asst temporarily relieved the market.
Finanoiers and operators are loo king for
ward anxiously to the report OF the sec
lretary of the treasury and the presidents
message in so far as they bear on the cur
rency question. Currency reforms are
unusually active at the present and i'm
press upon tho financial community that
the reason gold continues to go out is be-
cause our currency is diluted with
deprecated silver and hat paper. They
forget that France. which has within the
last twenty years accum dlated the larg-
est stock Uf gold the world has ever seen:
contains In its currency vast volume or
