On the money and tariff questions the

n While we favor the most liberal Fuse of
silver consistent with the enforcement of
gold standard, we are unalterably
opposed to the free coinage of silver, DEEM
ing it device for the debaseme mt of our
currency, and to the compulsory pur-
chase of silver by the government
0 The purpose of all taxation is revenue
In establishing system of tariff taxa
tion for revenue, careful consideration
should be given to the schedule with due
regard for the cost of raw materials and
tho interests of labor. We are opposed to
any further general revision of the tariff
as tending to unsettle business and de-
prive labor OF employment. These reve-
nues should pc mads equal to the expen-
ditures and should provide surplus for
the payment of the federal dobt.

Reason for 1t.

became of her crew. Her sails are set and
she is bilged. A woman's clothing WAS
found in the cabin. The spars and
rigging are intact. The schooner will
probably be total loss as she was driven
far in toward the beach. She has 1900
tons of coal for Portland, Maine, and her
crew consisted OF about eight men. She
mas built in Bnth, Maine, in 1885, and
her principal owner, is j. P. Drake of
