che prices Of these other commodities.
In other words, the bullion price Of
silver mearured by the prices Of these
other things has not declined, but the
bullion price of gold measured by all
these other things has steadily ad-
vanCed. Hence it is an sbsIrdity to
say that the bullion price Of silver has
declined. The fact is that under Re-
publican class legislation gold bullion
has doubled in price. And this is one
of the chief things that now curses this
country. A free Bilverite Is one who
demands the repeal of this class leglsla-
ton.
To put tariff on silver to keep the
foreign silver out would be class legis-
lstion, unless a tariff was also put on
gold to keep foreign gold out. Most
people who have any sense and are not
completely blinded by partisan preju-
dice admit that what this country most
needs just now ia an enlargement Of
the volume of currency. Such people
cannot believe In tariff whose express
purpose 10 to prevent such expansion.
The men who advocate such tariff
are the same who cOnSplred to contract
the currency and to concentrate the
residue In few hands.
Under the reign of single gold
standard In this country the foreigner
can come to our shores and buy the
products Of the farm for one-hRlf what
he had to pay for them prior to the de-
monetizstion of silver. This condition
is the result of Republican legislation
in favor Of gold. How much worse
would be free coinage law even II /
should enable q foreigner to bring so
cents worth of silver to our mints and
have it made into q silver dollsrP
The worlds silver mines produced
$196, 300 worth Of silver, coming
value, or 2,O6l, 800 fine ounces troy
in 1892, which was a larger product
than any previous year. OF this the
United States produced 50, 600, 600 fine
ounces, or $74, $4,000 worth coming
value. Much of the silver produced In
other countries will be kept In those
for use In money and in the arts, so
that we need not, under any circum-
stances, expect any great amount of
foreign silver to be brought to our
mlnts. And that which is brought and
coined into American dollars would
necessarily be exchanged for our pro-
ducts, thus enlarging our circulation
and creating new markets for our pro-
ducts since the foreigner could not use
American coin In his country.
Besides, when we repeal that class
legislation which favoTs gold, that
metal will descend from Its high horse,
and silver bullion and oil other com.
modIties In this country will command
the same relative prices to gold which
they maintained prior to the complete
enforcement of the yellow metal

 "I regard the situation as remark ably encouraging. 1 can conceive of no greater change of public santi- ment than has occurred in this State during the last three weeks The demands for literature exceed any thing in the history of State politics. This fact, added to the reports of the chairmen of the various county committees, and the reports of the officers of the Bryan and Sewall clubs, in which 150,000 voters are to be found, makes me regard the out look here as good SIS that of many western States conceded to Bryan by Republicans.

LAID AT REST,
THE REMAINS OF JEFFIE HAIR.
 PER BURIED AT TOLEDO.
An Inquest Held Sunday -The Yer dict in Accordance with Facts Published in Sundays
 Graphic.

The remains of Miss Jef1le Harper, whose life ended so sadly Saturday night, was conveyed to Rison for interment yesterday. and in the af- ternoon the Coroner held an inquest to determine if the killing was a purely accidental one. The partic- ulars of this sad tragedy were pub lished in full in the Sunday Morning Daily GRAPnIo-the only Sunday morning paper in Pine Bluff.
 The jury, after making Q thorough investigation, returned a verdict as follows
 We, the jury, find that Miss Jeflie Harper came to her death from the effects of a bullet wound in the head received from the accidental firing of a pistol in the hands of Mrs. Della Hopkins.
 This ends another tragedy which resulted in the death of sweet and lovable young girl, and made more desolate the home of widowed mother; and it shows that those dreadful revo.yers-ar good for nothing in the world save to take human lives, and that the manufacture of these weapons should be suppressed by the laws of the land.
 At the inquest yesterday Mrs. Hopkins, in calmn and collected manner, related just how the acci- dent happened, and, apparently, did not show in the least that only the night before her foolish act in hand ling a weapon which she was not familiar with, had been the means of sending the soul of a human being before it's maker.

MT. s Y. T. Knox Tenders His Resigna
 ton as Election Commissioner.

l bbOA ds ILACGAAOh
 On Saturday morning Mr. s. Y. T Knox, Chairman of the Jefferson County Board of Election Commis- sioners, mailed his resignation as one of the election commissioners for this county to Gov. J. F. Clarke, the same to take effect at once; and a meeting of the Democratic County Central Committee has been callcd for the Fist inst. to recommend Mr. Knox's successor on the election board.
 Mr. Knox, in speaking of his re signation last afternoon to q GRAPHIC reporter, said:
 "Yes. it is true, have forwarded my resignation t. the Governor.
 What are your reasons fnr re- signing?2 asked the reporter.
 Because am not in sympathy with the fusion adopted by our State Central Committee and l can not vote for the three electors given the Populist party. In order to be true to my convictions and myself, I thought my resignation the proper course for me to pursue. According to my information the ticket will be labelled Demo-Pop- -Fusionist. and as a Democrat I cannot support that ticket However, as a Democrat. l expect to vote for the Democratic electors. Feeling this way and en- tertaining these views. thought it would be inconsistent in me to re- main one of the election commission CTS any longer. An election eOmmis- sioner should be in full sympathy and accord with his party. and as l am not q fusionist, could not con sistentlY longer remain an election commi sioner
 No, am not going to quit the Democratic party, or vote for Pal mer and Buckner. Neither am I go. ing to join the Populist party, or vote for the Populist electors. I am a Democrat, and propose to follow Shakespere's advice

 tween the gold bugs and the people;
 thatit was a simple question as to
 whether the people should run this country, or whether J. Pierpont

 believe in the rich paying their share of protection" Why" said he, you take the royalty of England, when a child is born to the Queen of England, $500,0O0 is set aside for the support of that child, and that the washer-women of England were taxed to create that fund; that that child was no better than any other child, and that the people of England were willing for the washer-women of England to support, in luxury and ofiluenee, this royal brat be- cause its mother happened to be Queen; that she was no better look ing than other women, while, he declared that our wives have to wear calico dresses.
 He declared that it was his firm belief that Wm. J. Bryan was made by God Almighty to be President of the United States on the 3rd of Nov, 1896; that there was no other man living that was equal te Win. J. Bryan in physical endurance, intel feet and adaptability to the position before him.
 Why" said the Colonel, "there never was such a man as Moses; no other man could have lead the children of Israel through the Red Sea as he did. There was never such q man as old David; there was never such q human being as Napoleon Bonaparte Thomas Jefferson was one of Gods inspired men; that he was created that he might give to the American people religion, politics and government He believed that God, ill His infinite wisdom, had brought about the nomination of Bryan, and as Moses led the children of Israel through the Red Sea and the wilderness to the promised land, and as Jefferson gave tU this people the grandest form of Government under the sun, so he believed that Wm. J Bryan would begin q new and brighter epoch in our history, and that God had given him to this people in order to strike off the head of monopoly and to give to the poor and laboring man his just and equal rights.

coBg's ISLAND SWEPT AWAY.
The Virginia Summer Resort subme' ged and All but Three Buildings
 Destroyed

CAPE CHARLES, VA, Oct. 19.- Cobb's Island which has been famous summer resort for forty years, was entirely submerged on Sunday and yesterday at high tide, and was washed so badly that ap ordinary tide now covers it. The hotel and adjoining buildings were completely demolished, and nearly all of the contents carried out to sea.
 The only remaining buildings are the lifesaving station, the cottages belonging to Ashby Jones, of Rich mond, and Thomas Smith. resi- dent of the island. The latter was built by the Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr.. of New York, three years ago. The inhabitants were rescued by the life saving crew, assisted by residents of the mainland, during Sunday night. Warren Cobb, one of the owners of the island and hotel property, had to be taken out of the second-story window of his house.
 The tides are still running unusual ly high, which will undoubtedly al most complete the destruction of this historical summer resort.
 Nothing as yet has been heard from Hog Island, where it is feared serious damage has been done.
