BEFUDDLING THE MINDS OF THE PEOPLE

The Evening Express. which all by its
lonely self is champ ioning the cause of
the local silver standard party, says that
the administration insists on paying the
public debt in gold and that the silver
lies idle IN the treasury because the ad-
ministration refuses to put it out. We
would like the Express or any other Or
gan OF silver monometallsm to specify
the instance in which this administration
or it's predecessor refused to redeem a
United States bond, treasury note or
greeubacA in silver when the latter has
been demanded. This journal with
strictly private degree OF accuracy also
asserts that "if the next congress will ap
propriate $l,o0o,0OO payable in silver for
tho improvement of the harbors and riv-
cIs in Southern California, there will be
no difficulty in getting as much labor for
the silver as could be secured for the same
amount of gold" OF course there will
be no difficulty in making the amount
in silver go as far as it would in cold m
der present financial conditions, and the
Express knows or should know the rea-
son why. Every silver dollar now in cir
culation is equal in prchasing power to
gold dollar, because there is statutory
declaration on the part CT the govern
ment that it will maintain the parity OF
its dollars, and the silver dollar of ,odav
circulates virtually as the representative
Of gold dollar. This attempt to endow
the silver dollar with the same potency
In the markets under free and unlimited
coinage at the 16-to-1 ratio that it DOS
sesses while the country's finances are on
. single gold standard. is typical of the
ways adopted to befuddle the public
mind about tho monetary issue.

LET US TAKE CHARITY LESS NECESSARY

when we have exhausted every Other
so-called pleasure. that OF bringing the
look of joyful surprise to the eye and the
words Of grateful happiness to the lips oi
others remains perennial.
THE ways in which wealthy man can
merous and self-evident. Wealth will en-
able its possessor to feed the hungry,
clothe the naked. enGow free institutions
of learning, establish free libraries. found
hospitals and do countless other good
works. 1t will enable him to entertain
his friends, and amid pleasurable sur
roundings help them to the enjoyment
OF soms happy hours"
This is what Andrew Carnegie said in
the course of an interview regarding the
power of wealth to bring happiness. We
wonder if these views are responsible for
the recent munificent raise OF 10 per cent
in the wages of his employees. Unques-
tionably, in the remarks quoted Mr.. Car
negie suggests the philosophy of individ-
ual happiness, the making Of others hap
py. And his recognition of the fact that
:he possessors of great wealth can pro-
ducc gratifying results by engaging in
works of charity. and his avowal of the
belief that in the doing of good the rich
should experience the highest forms of
pleasure, certainly do credit to his heart
and evidence the possession OF broader
mind and a moro sympathetic nature
than has been accorded him by the pub
lie.
All that Mr.. Carnegie says is true. hut
it will occur to the minds of those who
think more than specifically that the
necessity or opportunity for the rich to
find pleasure in feeding the hungry and
clothing the naked" has no business to
exist. The economy of wise and benef-
icent nature certainly never provided for
such duty or pastime. The opening for
that sort of work or enjoyment has been
aft forded by MANN ade conditions which
have so disturbed and distorted the nat
ural laws governing the production and
distribution Of wealth that the few
have been enabled to attain the position
of alms-givers and the many the attitude
of aims receivers. 1t is to be hoped that
in these days OF his afuence and leisure
Mr.. Carnegie has been able to discern the
gulf that lies between the houses of Have
and Want, and that while he is benevo-
lently replenshing the larders OF the
starving with the wealth that he has ac-
quired as the beneficiary of special prvi-
leges, he will literally endow the libra
ries and the reading rooms of the country
that has been so kind to him with the
sort of literature that will aid the people
to devise the ways and means for so
equalizing the opportunities of life that
the charity he advocates may be reserved
for the orphan, the imbccile and the in
zane

OUR FOREIGN CUSTOMERS

While there has been an improvement
IN manufactures, in home trade" and
in all departments OF business all along
the limo. the attitude OF the foreign in
vcstor has been wary and eveh hostile
towards us ever since the beginning OF
the money pinch in the early summer of
'93. Not only has gold been drawn from
Us in the most disastrous way. but dis
elimination in trade has been annoying
almos. to wantonness; while not few
cld-time customers from abroad have
treated us in all ingeniously offensive
way. Foreign exchange, the best test OF
the worlds opinion of any peoples
credit, has regularly ruled against US.
making it impossible to keep rates at
such level as would put off the fear of
further mischief. But the watched pot
has at last boiled. The long hoped for
decline in foreign exchange has come,
and the tide iss setting in our favor in
several important particulars Within
the past two weeks the market for Amer
ican stocks has been good and there is
a prospect of such further improvement
as may turn gold back to us much easier
than we have ever dared to hope. Large
blocks of railway bonds: have Just been
sold to foreign syndicates. The volume
of these transfers cannot be very clearly
known as yet, but it is the opinion of
New York brokers that confidence in our
bes. lines Of securities is practically re-
stored to its former tone. More than
ten millions of per cent debenture
honGs of leading railways have been solo
in London in the last ten days. This is a
most assuring state OF affairs and insures
the easy maintenance of our treasury bal
ance.
And what was the turning point in all
this business? The leading commercial
journal in the United States Brad streets S,
says this marked change for the better
completes the work which the Morgan
Belmont bond syndicate undertook, )"
md from the beginning of its opera
ions is dated the return of foreign inter-
st in American investments which is
now likely to play most decisive part in
the country's business affairs"
Not one business man in the land but
knows that this is true, and yet not one
newspaper critic of the administration
hereabouts will publish the facts or will
ingly permit them to be known.

were the natural and logical fruits of leg
islation that set at defiance tho laws Of
monetary and economic science. 1t is
equally aware of the fact that ever since
the repeal of the twin legislative mon
strosities of 1890, the Sherman silver
purchasing clause and the Mckinley tariff
act. business has been gradually reviving
and that more voluntary increases in
wages have been made in the last six
months than in six years of Republican
domination. The party of great moral
ideas" should acquire a few moral
methods in its trcatmen of public ques-
tions. In the language of it's greatest
leader, ''you may fool some of the people
all the time or all OF the people some of
the time. but you cannot fool all the peo-
pie all the time.''

THE HOME BY THE SEA

One of the Southern California cities
that in the last few years has enjoyed ex-
ceptional prosperity and grown rapidly
and yet had little to say about it. is Santa
Monica. Its situation of course long
since established it in the minds OF the
public as one of the most desirable resi-
dence places in the state, ana with the
numerous public and private improve
ments made of late and largely in
creased population. it is possessed of the
conveniences and social and com III ercial
attractions that go TO make the ideal
community sought for by the hon C seek
ci. 1t is safe to say that on the entire
Pacific coast there are few cities endoNet
with natural advantages that prom ise
more to those who will develop and i'm
prove them than Santa Monica.
The city by the sea has achieved as
great distinction as place TO winter in
AS it formerly enjoyed as a summer re-
sort. The facilities for the entertainment
of visitors this summer have been vastly
augmented and thero is every prospect
that the city with the mammoth wharf
will be able to add to her justify earned
prestige of being the queen seaside risort
south of Monterey.

Mr.. Day, a prominent New York fruit
buyer who lately visited this section, is
reported to have declared in an interview
in Stockton that the process used by Cal
ifornians OF curing lemons, operates to
hurt their sale in the eastern market
The design seems to be to give them q
clear yellow color, whereas tho preference
east is for lemons partly green. This
statement may be worthy the careful
consideration OF those engaged in the
lemon industry. 1t is certain that a great
improvement can be made in the curing
of the fruit and as condition acceptable
to the market it is shipped to is the
prime factor in its sale, nothing that will
make that condition accord with the de-
sires OF the buyer should be omitted.

THE PHONAUTOGRAPH.
A Remarkable Machine Invented by q Call
fOrnIR Genius.

A San Francisco man has invented
machine which will do away with type
writers, both instruments and operators,
if he succeeds in perfecting his lnven-
ton.
The new machine combines the phOnO-
graph and the typewriter, and in looks
bears considerable resemblance to a cash
register. On the front of the machine
are small electric buttons, which you
press before talking into the mouthpiece
projecting from the upper part. This
mouthpiece is connected with a revolv-
ing cylinder, which receives impressions
in a way similar to the Edison phono-
graph. A travelling needle regulates the
position of the impressions on the CYL
inder according to the size Of the paper
they are to be reproduced on
The filled cylinder is placed on roll
ers in the lower part of the machine.
Above the rollers is a supply of paper
for receiving the written characters.
There are several mysteries about the
working of the new invention. No ink
is used, the written characters being
produced in a bold, round hand by
chemical action. 1t spells entirely by
sound and is unable as yet to cope with
the diphthong, the silent letter, the cap
ital, tbs sehicolon or figures, but II
will receive the sounds of the human
voice in any language except Chinese
and reproduce them in plain English
chirography.
This seeming fairy tale comes from
the financial hacker and the inventor,
these two men being the only persons
who have seen the wonderful machine.
