Hawley arose to state that he supposed
no one believed Wanamaker gave s4O0 900
Tor campaign purposes. He had circulated
paper and secured subscriptions but IL
was not a personal gift and certainly
should not bring an intimation that cab
met offices had been bought.
Allen responded that the man who was
caught always had an apology. No denial
had ever been made to this charge until
the senator from Connecticut rose to de-
ny IL.

the Harrison campaign said Mr.. Allen.
Il don't believe it," answered Hawley.

made from Maine to California and never

A Campaign of silverite Assumption.

Thus far the silverite campaign has been prolific
eruption of rhetorical assumption and egotstical
ton None Of the various claims made by silrerte lead
have been either founded fact substantated by
reasonable argument The broad declaration made by
all of them that this country force silver to parity
with gold and maintain without the cooperation OF
other nations, nearly ridiculous to reasoning
mind would proposition to dig hole to China for
the purpose of controlling the tea trade of that country
Fortunately thinking people cannot be deceived by plaus
ible promises seductive metaphor and unless more
satisfactory evidence of the value of free silver nan
cia policy than has yet been made public the
November election will add the of free silver to the
tombstone that marks the last resting place Of its twin
cheapmouey faacy, the wartime greenback.s In this
connection would not be out of place to remind those
who claim free silver would increase both prices and
wages that during the greenback of 1860 to 1865
prices advanced 116 per cent while wages slowly fol-
until they increased just 46 per cent, which
less than half the advanced cost of living.
1t is also proper to refer to the Importance and wis
dom of interfering with the growth and volume of
industrial interests by financial agitation Accord
ing the returns of 1890 there has been
upward movement both in the amount of capital
invested in factories and the wages paid to working peo
pie. Following is the report:

The schooner was struck on the star
board quarter and cut IL two. She went
down IN seven minutes. The. crew, num-
bering ten, took TO the beats and were
picked up by the Massachusetts and
brought to this city.
There was ii dense fog at tie time Of
the collision, and although Capt. Canha
OF the yandalia blew his signal horn. the
Officers OF the Massachusetts say that
when the schooner's proximity was ascer-
tanned it was too Ia lie to prevent the acci-
dent.
The only injury the Massachusetts sus-
tanned was a slight scratching OF her
stem. The lIision occurred thirt cen
miles west of CornfieId, l.. L. The Mass
achusetts had Il I'assenge er list Numbering,
200 and Il crew Of 100 men.
The Nandaiia was d 1ifty-ton schooner.

setts said that there was not much ex-
element when the collision occurred.

Halifax, y. s., July 30. "A Iesiew OF the
naval brigade, composed OF crews OF the
English war ships mere and The military

those coni.;ineG forces in the citadel, were
the features of today's program Of the
summer carnival
The paradc was reviewed by the officers
OF the garrison and commanders OF the
naval vessels. The naval brigade went
through the drill OF mounting and dis
mounting guns, while the Royal Berkshire
Regiment performed the bayoDet exercise
in a manner that held the attention OF the
spectators and earned piaudits 1or the
uooDs. The sham attack Oh the citadel
followed these evolutions of the troops.
The defenses Of the citadel were nanued
by the Royal Artillery and Royal Engi-
neers, while the naval tnSade. forming
u portion OF the attacking forces, occupied
the heights OF Camphill, directly TO the
west of the citadel. A number OF regiments
OF infantry. which had formed n thenor;h-
west of the citadel. advanced across the
common fronting the citEdel. where they
were Joined by the naval brigade. When
this Junction OF forces had been formed a

The attacking fcrce did Eot succeed in
penetrating beyond the outer fences of
the Citadel. and the judges therefore de-
clired the attack a failure. The spectS-
tors had an CnuEstruoted view of the en-
gagement, as smokeless powder was used.

act authorized the coinage of s2,O0OO00 each month
Bullion silver is worth only 81 cents the market
but minted into dollars under a free coinage law it
would bring producers sl29 and ounce clear gain of
