dressed to a gentleman who does not
believe in protection, and proceeds as
follows:
You wonder how free trader can be op-
posed to free silver. Logically. the free
trader must be in antugontsm with the scheme
OF free coinage at the ratio of l6 to l. Silver
coined ut that ratio into 4la11 grain dollars is
forced upon the American people at 81 % per
ounce and SO stamped by the mint: but the
bullion value of silver to-day is less than 20
cents an ounce

cause by law it puts an artificial price on the

COLUMBIA WINS.


Boat Race.
PouaHKEEPsrE, N. Y, June 25.-Al-
most in the face of stiffish wind and
in water so rough that the boats of her
two opponents filed and swamped
one before and the other after the
finish line was passed, Columbia
rowcd steadily on to victory Monday
evening in the fast time of 81 minutes
and 25 seconds. Cornell was second,
seven lengths back. Her time was 81
minutes and 46 2-5th seconds Penn
sylvanias evil luck lasted to the end.
Her she'll, smashed by the waves from
Gov. Morton's tug last Friday and
patched up till it was practically as
good as new, went down over a mile
from the finish The Cornell boat was
swamped just below her own boat
house, after the race was over, by
swells from other boats.
The start was made at 6:54, and it
was 7:i5:25 when the Columbia's crew
crossed the line. They had made the
miles in 2l minutes and 25 seconds,
beating Cornell seven lengths. Cor
nells time was 81 minutes, 46 2-5 sec
onds.
~ JliC o-iiillC pJihb ~ was SOluIuDld
race, barring accidents. Her boat lead
by four lengths. Cornell was pulling
gamely on, but the Pennsylvania
boat was getting deeper and
deeper in the water, and just after
passing under the bridge the crew
stopped rowing. The men were sitting
in water and their boat was sinking.
Their launch, which had noticed their
condition some time previously and
had kept close to the crew, was quick
ly alongside and took the men aboard.
The shell sank. AT the close of
the race the shell of the Cornell crew
was full of water. A rowboat put out
from shore to assist the crew. Five of
them grabbed the rowboat on one side
and over it rolled, dumping its two oc-
cupants into the water with the Cor
nell crew. The Cornell launch steamed
up and picked up all hands. The Cor
nell shell will probably be of no fur
| tler use.
