FALSE MEANING PUT ON THE WORC

Carlisle bases d long argument on the
false assumption hal the government
is bound by Federal statute to main.
tain a parity between gold and silver
dollars by exchanging one for the 9TH

cording 10 the Philadelphia Item.
Whenever silver has been coined un-
der al existing laws all further respon-
slblIltV regarding its use. or relations

ed for holders of bullion. and made a
legal tender. The government has no
more TO do with II. Coming it at the
established ratio. makes the parity.
here is no other just or natural in
t~erpretatlon OF the word parity. Mr..
Carlisle's assumption that parity is syn-
onymous with the word 'exchanye-
ability is wholly gratuitous. No law
lustities it. 1t is of his own interpreta-
ton unwarranted by either law or fact.
But as 1t accords with gold bug ideas
OF public plumber, the gold bug press
sustain its falsity.
rarity mean equality in coinage
privileges under the Law al the estab-
iished ratio. Mr.. Carlisle and his
hackers ought to go to school and
study up the simple meaning of the
word.
But it is less a question OF -chooling
with them. than az open attempt to
falsely Gonstrue the law in behalf OF a
foreign gang OF public plurderers.

Falling prices mean a decrease in
wages and vice versa. The remone.
tization Of silver means a rise in every
commodity produced in this land.
Even the gold men admit this. If an
article produced commands a higher
price and a handsome profit. it is posi-
bic for the labor hat produced it to
receive more pay. If under reversed
conditions, increased wages would be
an impossibility.

why is it these tinanciers, so many OF
them, insist the free coinage of silver
would help them, but they do not wish
it because the gold standard is better
for other people. Why is it? | am
afraid that it is because they are not
willing to give the real reasons that
they r behind the gold standard and
to submit those reasons to a candid
people. When they tell me the free
coinage of silver would be good for
them. l say: Now your chance has
come For twenty years, according

sented TO the people in ~innumerable
campaigns of the future. Therefore
the people can afford to sacrifice pro-
lection this year and make a combined
effort to overthrow a monetary system
dangerous to the liberties and COM
merce of this nation.
Gold is dear money. Dear money
means cheap goods and low wages.
The single standard means the extreme
of this system. Perpetuation of the
present single standard means hat
money will continually become dearer.
harder to get. B~i-metallism means
not the reverse of this condition. but
rather the happy medium. This is a
selfish world. and from the standpoint
that every mar should look out for
himself the man of wealth cannOt be
blamed for favoring a monetary system
which increases the value of his money.
1t is only human nature hat he should
look out for lumber one. Those Of us
who do not possess this characteristic
are saints, harder to find han the gold
of our desire. But the Door man: the
man of moderate means. who is for gold
is beyond our comprehension. He is in
the same class as the slave who de-
clares against his emancipation.
The Atlanta Constitution, a vocifer-
Gus claimant of Bryan's election, has
been called down BY W. j. Arkell. Of
New York. Mr.. Arkell offers to wager
Frank Leslle's Weekly, against the
Constitution either that Mckinley will
carry New York state by more than
100, 900 or that Bryan will not receive
100 votes in the ELECTORAL college. The
Constitution declines to accept either
bet.-Helena Herald.
And there is just about as much fair
ness in Mr.. Arkell's offer as there
would be were some country newspaper
in Montana offered against the An
aconda Standard. The nerve of Mr..
Arkell IS apparent to any newspaper
nan who is competent to estimate the
respective value of the two papers.
This is what John Sherman said in
1876:
The utter ruin that would come to
mankind. especially TO the poorer ma
tiOns, by the entire demonstration OF
silver. cannot be es:imatep by US. Take
one half of the solid money OF the world
ont of existence, take the sole standard
of more than two-thlrds OF the human
race. reduce it to a base metal and the
effect upon the commerce of the world
would be incalculable It cannot be
done. It Will not be done These two
metals have travelled side by side since
the beginning of time. The records OF
human history do not go back to a time
when they did not move together.
They have varied in value. sometimes
one and sometimes the other being the
higher: but they have rome on, gold
the money of the rich, silver the mon
ey OF the poor, the one to measure &C.
Quireo wealth, the other to measure
the daily necessities OF lite. and. sir, no
act OF parliament, although it may for
a IL disturb the relations OF those
TO eacn, nothing but the act OF God can
destroy the use OF both OF them by
manklnd.'
That was before he turned traitor.
Now he is endeayoring to convince the
people that the demonetization of silver
is for their own good. The wonder of
it all is that the old Judas has the
emaculate gall, the consummate cheek.
to say anything at all after his imam
Gus conduct in the premises.

and the liveliest interest was manifested
in the preparations for the start. The as.
sociation is trying to pick crew to contest
for the coast cham pionship.
Shortly before 80 O'Clock the crews
were in position and John E. Budd gave
the word to go. The giants and middle
weights shot little ahead of the midgets
at the first dip of the oars, and they main
tanned the advantage even after the turn
at the west point on the course below the
warehouses.
The crews in the lead had to strike hard
and often, however, to keep their positions,
as the midget oars dashed spray over the
sterns OF both. On the down dash the
giant crews craft kept its bow less than
half length in the lead of the midgets,
whose oars moved like clockwork, and
with long and steady pulls.
The return was very exciting, as it was
evident that the midgets were trying to
make good squirt for first place. Neither
crew had changed its position materially
when the finish was made. 1t was nomf-
nal victory for the giants; the midgets'
bow was almost to the line at the end and
the middle-weights were not far behind.
No official time was Kept, but the time
keepers had it that the crews covered the
mile course in 80.

THREE men IN THE TANK
Pinkerton's Mysterious Prisoners
Held in Secret Durance
in This City.
The Trio Were Involved in a Bond
Deal in the East-A Trunk
Capture.

The vast net manipulated by Pinker-
toms Detective Agency has been cast
abroad and as result three men have been
arrested in this City and hidden away in
the tanks at the Central station.
Much mystery was maintained as to the
identity of the captives, but finally it leaked
out that their names were B. B. Lee, Will
liam Rogers and j. Holmes.
Captain Lees was in profound consulta-
ton with Pinkerton officials during the
day, but declined to state the exact char
acter of the crime for which the men were
held.
1t was understood that Lees wife for
merly stopped at lodging house at S24
Kearny street and that Holmes was
formerly a saloon-keeper on Stockton
street. lie was arrested Saturday.
1t seems that Lee, who resided at 518
Geary street, was formerly physician.
The story is that the three men were
involved in fraudulent bond transaction
in the East When the bonds were sent
here to be collected it was discovered that
the bonds were fraudulent. Evidences of
fraud were reported to have been found in
a trunk, which has been secured.
Stockbroker w. e. Jones is said to have
furnished some valuable information lead
ing to the capture of the men.
