The Penny Press, an active and mis-
guided advocate Of free coinage and
other things, sticks to that old frlld
about wheat being worth a dollar IL
Mexico. Yes, it is worth a dollar--a
Mexican dollar, and the Mexican dol
lar is worth so cents, and the man who
harvested the wheat got II cents a
day for his work-12 caiits In Mexican
money, reinemher-and it would take
him twelve days to earn as much as
the American laborer would earn in
one day, and he could buy with his
wages for the twelve days about half
as much clothing rs the American la
borer can buy with his wages for one
day. Let's III move to Mexico. the

The silver philosophers very wisely
say that no man will sell silver for less
than q dollar when it will be accepted
for a dollar at the mint. Very well.
Now. who is to get the benefit of the
difference between the 80 cents that It
is worth now and the 81 that 1t will De
worth when the government stamp
is on it? The laboring man, or the
farmer? No; for they have none of 1T,
and they can't get it for less than what
the mint allows for it. The silver
owner, then, who is the only man who
will have silver to sell is the only man
who will receive direct benefit. Con-
sidering the number of silver owners,
and comparing them with the number
of laborers and farmers this looks like
fattening dozen silver men Oh q
million working men.

Free Coinage and the Price Of
silver.

Opening our mints to the tree coinage
of silver would undoubtedly tend to
raise the bullion price OF silver some
what; but the continuing large produc-
ton of silver, with no new demand for
silver in Europe, would soon cause d
decline in it's value again. In 1890 the
greatest silver com bination ever known,
ramifying from the London bullion
dealers all over the world from the
United States to India, with enormous
capital behind it. following upon their
successful passage of the Sherman act Of
July IA, 1890, IN this country, succeeded
once In raising silver to $1.21 per ounce.
And then what happened? The great
est collapse and fall in value OF silver
ever known. From August, 1890, 1.-THE
ratio being 1861 silver fell exactly
to one-half its value in March, 1894
(the ratio being 34.36:1).
In short, the action of several coun-
tries, each alone trying to do what Mr..
Bryan thinks the United States alone
can do, has signailv failed to raise the
value of silver. One country can no
more stem the tide which caused the fall
in value of silver than man can swim
up against the Niagara rapids. India
alone has taken more than 100000
900 of silver since 1873. and yet that
has not suficed to keep silver at par
with gold, -even when the United States
was also taking similar amount in the
same period, II India and the United
States together could not keep silver at
par by creating double the demand now
possible under free coinage by the Unit
ed States alone, how can it be done by
one of them?-"W Would American Free
crinage Double the Price Of Silver in the

Confucius, whose disciple he is proud
to eail himself, taught the folly of war,
and the practice of the Government and
Chinese society in this respect is in
spired by his teachings. While Japan
has exalted the warlike spirit, and
there the soldier is the idol of the people,
in China the soldier is lightly esteemed,

He was fond of dress and society, loved
wine and women, aped the English in
talk and manner and was boastful
ard injudiciously ambitious. One de-
sire was to down Gould and the West
ern Union Telegraph Company by es-
tablishing rival lines. But Garrett was
no match for the Wall street wizard
and millions were sunk So with vari-
Gus other enterprises. For time he
attracted universal attention by his
meteoric schemes, but soon the world
le armed to know him and lost conf
dence in the Garrett management,
which under the wise direction Of the
preceding generations had been respect
ed the world over. Stocks in Garrett
enterprises went down and finally, in
1897, Robert Garrett resigned the pres
ldency of the b. 4 o. and kindred or
ganiZations. Since then he had lived
IN retirement-a mental and physical
wreck. His enormous fortune, how
ever, remained intact, and yet amounts
to about $10,O00.O00.
Garrett owned a veritable palace in
Baltimore worth $1,000.000. His love
of dress is shown by the fact that he
owned no less than 100 suits of clothes
ant. 40 additional pairs of trousers.
His marble bath room cost $4,000.
