"The Profit of the silver OWNER

"Thc front OF the SILVER OWner.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The question raised by M" in Wednes-
day evenings Star is characteristic In it's
perversion of the facts and principles in
volved.
He should remember that Mr. Bryan
spoke of money and that neither gold
nor silver Is money until it has been
coined. What Mr.. Bryan inveighed against
is the approaching value of money of any
kind after coinage has assigned to it all
the nominal value possible.
AS to the "silver owners" profit, allow
me to suggest that the profit on any
product, whether corn, silver, or even gold
itself, Is the net excess Of selling price over
cost Of production. Such profit is now en-
joyed by the producer of gold. yet no one
has a word to say about his protit-oh, No!
although 1t is known to be immense.
Those familiar with mining are aware
that even with silver bullion at $1.9 per
| ounce the silver producers profit would
not be greater than that of the gold pro-
| ducer today. Yet these people who are SC
wonderfully wrought up over the prospect
of a profit to the "silver owner are silent
as the grave concerning the gold owner
profit, though the price of the latter S
| product is fixed by law just as we ask that
| the price of silver bullion be fixed by law;
| for be it remembered that free coinage
practically fixes the price when it estab-
| fishes a ratio and furnishes the producer
| the alternative Of accepting price offered
or coming If such price does not suit him
| The strangest thing about this whole con-
| troversy Is that some persons will persist
| in applying one set of economic laws &c
gold and another t. silver, although both
are governed by exactly the same economic
! laws except as the operation of such laws
! is modified by legislation. r. c.

Puget sound Clans.

From the Morning OregOnian
A monster clam from the sound, weighing
some six or eight pounds. was displayed in
front of a fish market yesterday and at
tracted much attention. The neck Is about
foot long and as thick as a mans wrist,
and the body looks like mallard duck
placed between two clam shells not big
enough for it.
Such CLANS are seen here occasionally,
but never in quantities. A dozen or so is
the largest number ever here at one time.
They are not bad eating, the neck being
no tougher than that of the ordinary clam.
They are only to be obtained on occasion
of very high tides, which run very far out,
and then are only to be secured with diff
Guilty by digging a trench Ike a sewer. 1t
Is said that they climb down into the mud
or sand with as much agility a Clatsop
razor clam, and they go so far down they
may be said. like truth. to live at the bot
tom Of a well, but not every well.
The clam exhibition is to form one of
the attractions of the Elks' clambake, and
the man who swallows 1t whole Is to have
medal and pain in the stomach.
