TINKER ON WHEELS.
~ Member Of Pans and Pals Who l.
Travelling 8 unO Miles IN II INn,ar

~ Member Of Pans and Pals Who is
Travelling 5000 Miles en- Wager.
One OF the oddest-looking characters
shat has taken to the wheel has lust
.tlrifted into town. He IS travelling
;tinker.
The bicycle on which the tinker Il; do
ing bis travelling is old and tough locking
and it's rider lis young and almost as
tough looking. In this case, however,
die tough appearances do not argue any
sort of general .cussedness, but. is only
the result OF over thirteen 1veeks OF con
tinuous travel over all sorts of roads end
under all SORTS of conditions
The tinker, who is apparently % or %
years old, told the Buffalo Express re-
porter that his name wac Alexander
breckenridge, ana that his home was IL
Portland, Ore. He started from San
francisco little over thirteen weeks ago
and lle must complete the Journey from
the starting po1t to Halifax and back
to Chicago in four months from the time
he started. He has nearly month left
to MAKE the journey within TIE stated
time, i it true that he is travelling on II
wager, and providing, further, that he
can jog lis memory &nto recalling, when
he started out. He Sc that his route
East had been through sh'Cot.lmbia
Halifax, where he arrived about two
weeks ago. lie said that Il week age he
was i'll Mont.;eal and from there to this
city he had passed through Toroato,
Hamilton and Niagara Fails. He has
Travelled nearly 1000 miles in his jour
neyings, he saya. From here he proposes
to go to Chicago via the Erie, Cleveland
and Toledo course
His wheel is more of Il curiosity than
he. He calls it 'San Francisco giant"
and says that it was built to stand the
heavy work of the coast No doubt it
shonld stand all sorts of heavy work, for
it weighs in the neighborhood of seventy
five pounds, but the truth is that the ma
chine is one of the old spring frame safe
ties, known as HANDLERS, which were
built several years ago. The front forks
are fitted with what was once a popular
contrivance of springs made to relieve
the jar on the hands, incident to BICYCLES
before pneumatic tires became popular.
The front wheel of this nondcscript is
fitted with n cushion tire and the rear
with one of the first pattern pneumatic
tires, and both are fastened on with
springs, wires and straps. There NAV
have been some cement somewhere. but
1t was not in evidence.
On the front of the machine is the
t'ihp uctlSnt, Il regulation tomato can
growler, which the tinker evidently uses
Tor water only, as he appear to be an alb
stainer from the usual tramp's beverage,
stale beer. He carries tin box which
contains complete tinker's outfit and he
says ne earns many an honest penny by
mending tinware for the farmers wives
as he travels through the country. He
also has book which is filled with post
Office stamps of different towns through
which he has passed, besides many sig
natures of pOstmasters

You may be sure .-thas Senator Teller
told the truth In st. Louis when he said,
"This is a-Question &c Civilizations
Rome conquered she world, but when
her mines in Spain and Asia Minor gave
out, she went swiftly to decay. The
manhood of her men, the womanhood of
her women disappeared, and the night of
the dark ages closed down upon Europe
In Il business sense it seems to mo that
tho press ami moneycd men of New York,
the directors OF pubic opinion there, are
blind as molcs.
With the rupee of India reduced one
half in ValUC, hut still the standard, we
can sell i'll Europe only such cotton and
food products as India cannot supply.
Our best trade for the future must be
with Spanish the Orient, and
with Siberia, when the new road shall he
finished. All those are silver countries.
We should have II common coinage with
them all, and with that established, it
would not be fifteen years until the
world commercial &C ..ter would oscillate
to New York City. But all the power of
chat city seems TO he directed toward
swelling the cry that we must accept
from England the dictation of how our
finances shall be directed, which. by the
way, is precisely the plan which impov-
erished the English masses for thirty five
years after 1916 fsee Cnrey's Social

now to sell our teXtiles''and food products

favor silver restoration because:
|. While my gold has double purchas-
ing power, outside of mining l cannot
invest it anywhere except upon a falling
market.
2. Under present conditions production
gives no reward to producers.
3. With no profit to production, pro-
ducers can give no wages to labor and
the country is filling up dangerously fast
with idle men.
t. Because with every man driven to
enforced idleness, protection to capital
grows less.
8. Enforced ileness breeds hatred of
the suffering masses against the few who
have means.
g. Because the working men of America
are brought into unjust competition with
the lnborers of silver countries
T. Because the whole continent south
OF us needs vitalzing with American
brains, muscle and such vast amounts of
money that no mines can supply it rapidly
enough.
s. Because through the growing poverty
of the humber producers, like the farmers.
the morals of the country are becoming
fninted, and crimes are increasing alurm-
ingly.
0. Because ! believe the Almighty made
no mistake when he placed silver in the
mills.

ilieve would do better myself if my fell
low-men could be made prosperous which
ithey are not now.
