DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT.

A correspondent under the nom
6e plume of Truth seeker ad-
dresses The CHRONICLE as follows:
''You speak of free silver coinage as
IAN experiment have always
been under the impression that sill
yer was coined free until 1873 and
was a decided success, but was de-
monetlzed without the knowledge or
consent, Cf the American people by
an act which is sometimes spoken of
as the crime of '73.' have also
been taught to believe that the silver
dollar was the original unit of value
by which the gold dollar was meas
ured."
To put in practical operation the
scheme proposed by the free coinage
advocates would be trying decided
experiment. Never in the history
of the country has an attempt been
made to coin silver and gold at other
ratios than their commercial values.
The ratios which at various times
have been adopted have all been
based on the relative commercial
values of the two metals, and were
possible only because the fuctuation
in svalue in the early history of the
country was not nearly so great as it
is now. The free silver men wish to
coin silver at the fixed ratio of 16 to
1, ignoring; altogether the relative
commercial values which the two
metals possess. This would be an
experiment, and most dangerous
one at that.
Silver was never coined free to
any extent up to 1873, as the total
amount of silver dollars coined up to
that date was only $s,oOO,O0O. Vari-
GUS coins were used as money, those
of many foreign nations being al
lowed to pass as mediums Of ex-
change. Since 1873 an amount of
silver has been coined many times as
great as that coined prior to that
date.
It is but idle talk to refer to the
act of 1873 as ':grcat crime" 1t
is no more of crime than the act
restoring equitable duties upon tariff
imports under the Mckinley admin
istration will be. For three years
preceding its passage the provisions
of the act were discussed in congress
and in the press. Its purport was
made known and those who voted
for it did so with full knowledge
of their action. The crime of '73 is
but a myth, bugbear used to fright
en- unthlnklng people.
Whether or not the silver dollar
was the unit of value hundred
years ago, has nothing to do with
whether or not it should occupy
such a position today. Times are
changed with the fight of years,
and what might suffice at one time
will not do so fifty years later. But
the silver dollar was not intended to

Ayers. Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the worlds fair, Chicago. Manufact-
urers of other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a showing of their
goods, but they were all turned away
under the application of the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
worlds fair authorities in favor of Ayers
Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows:
'tAyer's Sarsaparilla is not patent
medicine. It does not belong to the

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND
Writes His Regular Republican Campaign
Contribution

ST. PAUL Mimi, october n.-ATch-
bishop Ireland, in response to the written
request of twenty-seven business men OF
this State. who are of all politics, gave
statement. addressed to them. to the As
sociated Press to-day. Among other
things he said:
..I am not unwilling, in the crisis through
which the country is now passing, 70
speak for the integrity of the nation, for
social order. for the prosperity of the peo-
pie. for the honor of America and the
permanency of free institutions. l am a
citizen of the country, concerned in all
the interests Of the nation. subject TO all
the responsibilities of citizenship. To be
silent Wlen words of mine may be of some
profit to the people, would be cowardice,
would be crime.
Il am not unmindful of the objection
made against the churchman speaking at
any time on matters which have entered
tire arena of politics, lest his influence as
81 teacher of religion seem 10 be used to
promote the interests of a political party.
/ might reply that there are occasions
when political platform means disaster
to the country. when politics are closely
ON those occasions the churchman must
be the patriot without allowing a mo-
ments thought to considerations of eN-
pediency and must take in hand the moral
or religious issue. even if 1t be vested IN
the garment of politics. But in the pres
eut instance ] seek no excuse OF this Nnd.
1 speak entirely as the citizen, without
warrant from my ecclesiastical position.
Deep as my convictions are, 1 hold in all
due respect my fellow citizens who hold
convictions at variance with my own. l
impeach neither their good faith nor their
honor. 1 am dealing not with men, but
with principles and movements. This JUS
tice which 1 render TO those whose ideas
] am ready to combat, l am sure they Will
render to me.
'I stand by the platform and the Pres
identiaI candidate of the Republican con-
vention of st. Louis. am opposed to the
platform and the Presidential candidate
of the Democratic convention at Chicago.
"The days Of the civil war excepted, at
no time did so great peril threaten the
country as that which is involved in the
political campaign of to-day.
"The question Of free and unlimited coin
age of silver is put in the foreground.
This question has its Importance; but it
is of minor Importance, in the presence OF
other questions which are brought into
issue
The movement which had its express
sion in the Chicago convention and which
now seeks by means of popular suffrage
to enthrone itself in the Capitol of the
nation. is in its logical effect against the
United States; # is secession-the seces-
sion of 1861 which our soldiers believed

TREMENDOUS GALES
Ragged Yesterday All Along the
Atlantic Coast.
Vessels in Great Danger at Sever
al Points, and Some Loss Of Life
Reported - Damage at Atlantic
City and Blsewhere-Details Of
the Storm Predicted Saturday.

Lewes, Del, October 11-At daybreak
this morning the American schooner
Luther A. Roby, from Schiyere, Nova
Scotia, for Philadelphia, with a cargo
Of plaster, struck near the point of
Cape Henlopen while terrible north
east gale was prevailing. The force Of
the sea was so great that the vessel
pounded to pieces on the sands before
the life saving men could get line to
her. Three of the crew lost their lives
and five were rescued after an awful ex-
periance with the elements. The dead:
Harry Milby, Thomas Shines, and an
unknown Norwegian sailor.
One of the killed lost his life by being
struck by the main mast when it feI.
THE SURVIVORS
are Captain w. H. Maloney, of Boston;
Mate George A. Hopkins, Fred Olsen,
Alex and Edgar Lewes. They are being
cared for by the crew of the life-saving
station.
The bodies of those lost have not yet
been recovered.
Captain Maloney and the four mem
bers Of his crew who were rescued with
him were taken out OF the sea after
they had given up all hope of reaching
shore alive. When the schooner went
to pieces the five men managed to get
hold OF the deckhouse. On this frail
raft they were buffeted about at the
mercy OF the enormous high seas until
they were seen by the life savers. A
rope was thrown to them and the five
men, now nearly exhausted, were hauled
through the roaring surf to a pace Of
safety. A watch is being kept for bodies
OF the three men who lost their lives.
OTHER LOSSES FEARED.
Lewes, Del, October IA severe
northeasterly gale is raging all along the
Atlantic coast tonight. accompanied by
rain. About forty vessels are anchored
inside the Delaware breakwater Some
of them are dragging dangerously near
the bar and there is every prospect that
unless the STORM abates there will be
other disasters 10 shipping in addition
to the loss of the schooner Roby, report
ed in another dispatch. The outward
bound bark Alice lost an anchor and was
dragging in a helpless condition when
the tugs Pioneer and Hughes went to her
rescue and tower her to a place Of
safety.
DAMAGE AT ATLANTIC CITY.
Atlantic City. n. j., October IA
severe northeast storm began to rage
along the coast about o'clock this
morning and has continued with un-
abated fury. The wind blew steadily
shout fifty-fve miles an hour. The

ping disasters along the coast. In this
CITY the storm did considerable damage.
A TOTAL WRECK.
Gloucester. Mass, October 1.-THE
Ratb schooner Alsatian, with a cargo of
nmber. after a tremendous tussle with
the tremendous seas kicked up by the
northeast gale, lies tonight a total
wreck on the breakers off Bakers Island,
while her captain, James Oliver, and his
crew are indebted To Captain Young,

Meeting Friday Night

Refused to Countenance the Gold Bug
Meeting Friday Night
Special to the Registe:.
Bethany, W. Va, October 11.-After
advertising by means of mammoth pos
ters throughout this vicinity for about
ten days. there was an attempt to hold
a so-caIled gold Democratic meeting here
Friday evening. to be addressed by those
former Democratic leaders, General
Alfred Caldwell and Hon. J. B. Som
mervile, of Wheeling. So pronounced
was the failure. however, that even with
the active cooperation of the Chairman
of the Republican Committee, only about
one hundred persons-ladies, voters and
boys-assembled This is significant,
when it is remembered that Mr.. Som
merville was formerly a citizen of this
county. was started on his political ca
reer here. and once carried this precinct
for House of Delegates and twice for
State Senate while General Caldwell,
who was always a faVorite here, and who
was invariably given strong support in
this county. carried the precinct for
S ate Senate and twice for Attorney Cen
eral. Not over half dozen Democrats
were present in the audience, and they
left soon. regretting that the speakers
had seen fl to desert their party N the
hour of its need. After a vain effort to
find q so-ca,led gold Democrat TO pre-
side over the meeting, Squire w. H. Bel
lings. a pronounced Mckinley man and
. stalwart Republican, was secured to
rerform that office. The reception as
whole was very chilly. Verify, the
sneakers are leaders without an army.
In this. above all other campaigns, do
the people rule, and no man can antag-
o1ize them and fail to be thrown over
hoard
Old Bethany will do her duty for
Rrvan and free silver. and no corpora
lion influence will have any effect here.

MAJOR M'KINLEY,
Devoted Yesterday to Rest, After Hard
Week on His Front Lawn

Week on His Front Lawn
Canton, Ohio, October 11.-Maior Nc
Kinley feels well after the record break
ing week just closed, and has the neces-
sary energy for the week to ensue,
which will surpass the one closed.
The Major shaved himself and went to
the morning service at the First Meth
Odist church. In the afternoon he ac-
companied Mrs Mckinley on her usual
drive. He also paid his accustomed
daily visit to his mother, and then re-
ceiyed a few visitors and read the pa
pers, an occupation in which he particI
larly delights. Murat HalsJead and ex-
Congressman Finley, of Baltimore,
were guests to-day. They left his
afternoon.
This crowd yesterday was the largest,
the interests represented the most diver
sified, the programme the most varied
N this remarkable campaign. The
citizens in general here are completely
tired out. There was scarcely a branch
of trade that was not affected by the
enormous crowd. Hotel and restaurant
keepers and their employers were COM
pletely exhausted, and the city has not
in many day been so quiet as during
this Sunday breathing spell. Captain
\. Z. Wilmeick, the Louisiana member
of the National Committee, came TO
Canton yesterday when the demonsra-
ton was at its height and remained an
til this evening. He was simply amazed
at the scenes on the Mckinley lawn yes
terday, in which ten States participated.
Never in my experience, or in my
reading" said he, have l seen such a
demonstration. Il is marvellous and
can scarcely realize that you are having
these calls from delegations every day
The weeks programme 50 far ar
ranged tonight shows no cessation Of
the Canton pilgrimages.

Small Pox and Yellow Fever Killing Thou

Washington, Octber 11.-Dr Burgess,
sanitary inspector Of the marine hospi-
tai service, at Hanyana, in recent re-
port, says the yellow fever continues to
be epidemic there, and he is informed
that it is so in most of the places where
the Spanish soldiers are found. During
September there were 1,O34 deaths in
Havana from the disease. Smallpox,
instead Of diminishing, increases daily,
not only in Havana proper but in the
suburbs. The doctor expresses the fear
that it will be many months before jhis
scOurge is over.
He also points out the danger from
yellow fever to vessels discharging car
goes at Tallapiedra wharf, Havana, be-
cause of its close proximity to an old and
badly affected military hospital.
