INTERVIEWED MORTON.

Secretary Morton OF the Agricultural
Department. recently passed through
New Mexico on trip to California.
Before leaving Washington he uter-
viewed himself on the question OF
france. and had prepared by his type
writer. a few copies for distribution
along the route. One OF these he was
induced to surrender to representative
of the Albuquerque Democrat and it ap.
peared in that paper on Saturday morn
ing last In the interview Mr.. Morton
makes uFe of the assertion so commonly
employed by the advocates OF u gold
standard t. the effect that supply and
demand is tho sole regulator of value"
On the 3lst day of July, 1894, the act OF
congress became n law which declared
that the pure gold in the eagle should
be reduced from 2471s grains to 232
grains. Immediately before the act was
law 2l712 grains OF pure gold bullion
We're worth, in gold coin, exactly as
much as 232 grains we're worth imme.
diately after. Within the time required
for the president to dip his pen in the
ink, sign his name and return his pen to
the rack, there was deducted from the
pure gold in this CON 1915 grains and
yet its coined value remained exactly
the same. Was this change due to a
difference in the supply and demand"
occurring inst at that instant? Or was
it brought about by the act of congress
which at that moment went into effect
Will some one Of Mr.. Morton's financial
school wrestle with this problem and
give the readers of the EAGLE the re
suits of their calculations?

FOLLOWING PHANTOMS.

Last week Mr. Ridgeway gave us "A
Little of The Other Side" aud explained
his reasons for opposing silver coinage
in the United States We regret that
the writer OF that article did not make
some Of his intended points tr iie more
clear, especially the one as TO the
ability Of the United States to maintain
the parity between gold and silver with
such Il large quantity Of coined silver
in the world. II Mr.. Ridgcway had
been explicit and told us what calamity
he feared from this source, or what par.
ticular obstruction, to tie maintenance
Of parity IN this country, the silver in
China, Mexico or India won d iuterpose,
we might know how, possibly, to avoid
the dangers he anticipates Mexico
with only S. per capita, China with 81 50
and India with s3.H for each person, all
with an enlurging trade aud growing
commercial importance, each ambitious
TO assume place in tue world OF barter
and exchange, will hardly desire to uu
load or dipp,nse with any part of their
present insignificant amount of coin
and therefore the fear that would seen
to have overcome Mr.. Ridgeway ap
pears to have no we'll grounded iouunda
tion.
But suppose they should, as our goll
standard advocate anticipates. load M
al their coin and bring 1t here to h,
coined at our mintsg Would that pro
ducc surplus 10 our silver coiu2 Tue,
would be compelled TO take back eoine,
dollars for the bullion which would onl!

and not worth u penny m,re. after th,

ece nothing bot a shadow to btcom

Then again. suppose that these ihre
silver using countries should conclnd
10 deprive themselves u the money the

their claim would not be strengthened d
thereby. The democrats OF Lincoln
county desire to affiliate with their
brethren elsewhere OF the most amica-
BILE terms. but the bluff of the Current
in threatening to bolt VI its demands
are not acceded to, vi not produce
the desired effect. There are many men
OF sense and discretion among the
democrats of Eddy county; but they
owe it to themselves to repudIate the
indiscreet nonsense of the Current.
White Oaks eagle. (White Oaks, N.M.) 189?-190?, 1896-05-14

now have and unload upon and leave in
the Uuited States the entire amount OF
their COMA thing as chimerical MS most
OF the other ghosts set up by our gold
bug friends to scare the country into
the acceptance Of wild cat banking
scheme hat then? This, added to the
gold and silver estimated 10 be ull eady
in this country, would give us three
billions of dollars, or close to S42 per
capita, in coin. France floats nearly
this much per capita and has nearly
nine times the population to the square
mile rendering a much less amount of
coin, for each person, necessary than is
needed in this comparatively sparcely
settled country. France absorbs and
uses all her money without difficulty
and so could we.
But Mr. Ridgeway sets up another
phantom at which he wonld have us
scare, and that is the effect our coinage
Of silver would produce upon the money
OF those other countries in doubling
the value OF their coin. Suppose our
correspondent should contemplate the
erection of a block of fine buildings and
after considering the question in all its
bearings upon his own profits and ad-
vantages should find that all pointed to
the advisibillty of its construction, but
when done with this side Of the propos-
ition it occurred to him that the build
ing of such a structure would advance
the price and increase the value OF his
neighbors property IN its vicinity and
should, on that account, abandon the
enterprise. Rather than become the
indirect cause Of putting money in the
pockets of those around him he would
give up an undertaking which must en-
rich himself We don't believe Mr.
Ridgeway would apply such considera-
tions to his private business affairs, and
yet he suggests course exactly similar
in public matters and assigns as one OF
the reasons for not adopting silver com
age here, the fact that it would increase
the value of the coin of other nations.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Mr. Morton, in the interview which he
handed the Democrat for publication,
referring to the advocates of silver
coinage said:
They do not see that the supply of
silver and the demand for silver are not
in the same relation that they were be-
fore the year 1916, in Which tpelre
months Neroda alone produced more
sjirer than had all the World during the
ticehfy preuiouS gears"
From the report of the United States
Monetary Commission, Vol |, page u
of appendix, we find that the mines i'll
the state Of Nevada. in the year 1876.
produced &28,032, $50 of silver at its coin
value, while tue worlds production for
the twenty years proceeding is stated,
by the Journal des EcOnOmiSteS, to be
81 OPS, 100000 or about thirty six times
as much as the production Of Nevada in
1876.
1t is shown by the report of the
Director Of the Mint, of March 81, 1881
at page 1872, that the total production of
silver in the United States for the year
1876, was S33, 3,7S3,OlG. while the produc
ton of gold for the same period was
s39,929, lGG, so that if the relations Of
supply Of and demand for silver have
been disturbed by the large productions
of that metal during the year namet
why did not the same results accrue al
to gold which is shown to have beer
produced in larger quantities in tha
year than silver?
When Secretary Morton returns tC
his Office in Washington he ought to re
wise his figures and save the ones h'
brought along on this trip to show sal
rosa to tho Indians.

BE FAIR.

The Republican press has been in
clined to complain, and we think justly,
because of the criticisms of some of the
Democratic papers of the territory,
upon Mr.. Cations record in congress
during the session now about to close.
We think Democratic editors have been
too much inclined to ignore the work
actually done by our delegate. 1t
should be remembered that the anti
prize-fght bill was passed unanimously
by both houses and approved by the
president in an incredibly short time,
all through the influence of the repre-
sentative from New Mexico. And then,
too, there were--er---there were
other things that he has accomplished
Our delegate ought to have full credit
for what he has done fer New Mexico
1t is not far to deprive HIM of it.

[BY TELEGRAPH rc THE TRBrNE]
Newport News. Va. May 30.-The first launch
ing accident which ever happened at the yard OF
the Newport News Shipbulldng and Drydock
Company occurred this morning, and as result
two persons given UP as drowned and several
others are reported missing The men known to
have been lost are Edward E. Taylor and Charles
Smith. both colored.
The announcement that two vessels would be
launched from the same set of ways within half
an hour OF each other drew a large crowd to the
shipyard. The vessels to be launched were the
pot-boat Somers n. Smith. built for the Pensa-
cola Pilot Association and named for the superin-
tendent OF the shipbudng works. and the Plant
passenger steamship Margaret. Mrs. Margaret
Plant wife of the president Of the Plant Steam
ship Company was the sponsor for both vessels
At II a. m. she broke the traditional bottle or
champagne the bow OF the pilot-boat and an
nounced the vessels name The trim little craft
glided gracefully down the ways. and the crowd
cheered vociferousy.
As the boat struck the water one OF the cradles
slipped from under her. and she listed to the port
side For moment II was expected that she
would recover her equilibrium but she rolled over
so far that the water began to pour into her port
holes and over the deck. Nearly one hundred
persons were board, and they became panic
stricken Most of them jumped overheard. but
many who could not swim remained on the boat
until she sank.
The assembled people looked on with horror
and many women tainted. Some Of the launching
crew managed to swim ashore, and Others were
picked UP by a tug. Several men were IN the hold
of the boat when she sank. and while only two
persons are known TO have lost their lives, II is
feared that the were other fatalities.
After the excitement had subsided the Marga-
ret was safely launched.
