Why the DistjnctiOnp

In large proportion of the mines
now worked in this country silver can
be proftably produced at 60 cents an
ounce, and it is now selling at a trihe
over 60 cents. The free coinage people
propose that the government shall take
this silver, and by coming it, give it "A
purchasing or debt-paying power to
the owner of Sl.29. Who gets the ben
fit? Not the government as it did
under the old coinage acts. Not the
people generally. The mine owners
alone. Why should the government,
that is, the people, confer such a bene-
lit upon this one class of producers?
The silver product of the country in
1895 was actually worth about S33. OOO,-
300. The copper product was worth
S3S 900, 900, pig iron sos, 200, 900, soft
coal Sis, 900, 900 and the wheat product,
wen with small yield and low prices,
was worth, in the New York market,
over $500, 900, 900 Why should the gov
crnmcnt double the value of silver to
he mine owner and leave the other
products to take their chances at com
mcrcial rates?

Tho Democratic RoItera.

The number of individual Democrats
and Democratic papers that have
bolted the Chicago convention and
platform is constantly on the increase.
Early last week list of so such papers
was published and others have been
added since then. A few of them sup
port Mckinley, but most of them advo-
cate the calling of another Democratic
convention. The list includes 90 south.
erp and II western papers, among the
latter being the Chicago Chronicle,
Abend Post and Stats Zeitung, the
Davenport, Iowa, Democrat, Detroit
Free Press, Lansing Journal, Lacrosse,
Wis, Chronicle, Milwaukee Journal,
Minneapolis Times, st. Paul Globe and
st. Louis Ansciger.
The list of individual Democrats in
Detroit who repudiatc the platform
and ticket includes such prominent
party men as G.. V. N. Lothrop and his
sons, John G. Hawley, Il. z. Hall, Robt.
L. Gray, S. l.. Smith, VIM. Il. Jackson,
w. j. Gray, Sidney T. Miller, Post
master John j. Enright, r. w. Gillett,
and many others. Some of their utter
anccs arc quite pointed, rs for instance:
John &. IIawley: II think very badly
of the Chicago convention. 1t violated
all the historic traditions of the Demo
cratic party, and went over, body and
breeches to the Populists and anarch-
lists"
Cyrus G. Lothrop: Il think that |
speak the sentiments of the whole fam
lily when | say that we cannot vote the
Democratic ticket on the platform
adopted at Chicago. We want nothing
to do with that crowd or their ruinous
policy. | hope to see the Democrats
With the Democrats on a free
silver platform | shall be obliged to
vote the Republican ticket entirely"
VIM. J. Gray: Neither the candidates
nor the platform will do at all. | can
not support either one"
Robert Il. Gray: Get the strongest
dcnuniciation of the platform and
ticket that you can find and credit it to
me"
James ID. May; II don't blame the
Free Press for boiling. Every respect
able Democratic paper in the country
Is doing the same thing"
VIM. i. Jackon: Il cannot accept
the fallacy of the free silver doctrine
in the Democratic party. l cannot
vote the Democratic ticket on that
basis"
5. l.. Smith. Il do not think the
Democratic platform is sound Demo
cratic principle and | do not purpose to
vote for it.
Postmaster Enrght: 81 would not,
on such platform vote, for Thos JEFF
ferson if among us"
7. p. Hall: The tariff question is
not the issue, neither is it the silver
craze, for that is but stepping stone
TO something worse, the utter de-
,truction of free institutions. These
revolutionists are striking at the very |
foundations of society"
These local utteranccs may very |
be supplemented by one from
Jas. II. Eclilcs, controller of the cur
rcncy: The larger the contribution
If Democratic votes TO the defeat of the
chicago nominees the better in the end
for the Democratic party"

paid salary until other work can be
procured for him.
DR.. j. NJ. Buckley presented report of

reported in highly eulogistic terms the
effectiveness of Bishop Taylor, of
Africa, recommending his retirement.
The report was concurred in.
The committee also reported in fav or
of missionary bishops in India, South
America and Africa. AS Dr.. Buckley was
opposed to the one in South America, DR..
Kynette took charge of the report.
For two hours the question was warm

G. W. Manus, of New York, presented a
substitute which declared it not expe-

G.. Vaughn, an eminent civil engineer
who was chief engineer of the Mexican
Central and has been at the head of many
western railroad enterprises, was in this
city yesterday. Mr.. Vaughn left early
this morning for Whitewater, from which
point he will begin trip westward to
complete preliminary examination of the
proposed route for an extension of the
Santa Fe. Mr.. Vaughn has reconnoitered
the line from Victor, Cal, east to Ash
Fork, and he will now examine the
country from Whitewater to Phoenix via
SolomonvIlle ana Florence. The cost Of
constructing railroad on the route
indicated would average probably about
$4,000 mile.
Engineer vaughn's preliminary per
sonal inspection to determine the prac-
tlcability of a route does not mean
necessarily that line will be built. 1t
means that the Santa Fe is not sure OF
being able to buy the Atlantic & Pacific,
and that the Santa Fe must have western
connections, even if it has to build
