framed. One reason for the act of 1884

We're others. However, the reasons are
not important here. The fact is that

If free coinage had been continued by the
act of 1878 it would have prevented the
decline OF silver, just as there are people
who think free coinage will now lift
silver to a parity. The suggestion of
stealth in connection with the act of 1873
crops out In this letter. The silver people
cling to that as drowning man clutches
at straw. For a long time Ernest Seyd
was pointed to as the occult influence, I"
but 1T turned out that he was bimetal-
list, and was not in the country and SO he
could be worked no longer. Still the

ways will be. 1t is the dgment OF some

seem to be equally displayed here. What

Bryan ever read the Constitution of the

The Act of 1884.
To the Editor Of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
l am surprised at your assertion that
it was the act of 1884, Changing
the ratio of silver to gold from Is to /,
to 16 to 1. that denonetized silver.
The effect of that act was to remove
silver from our currency, but not to
dsmonetize it. It was accepted. the world
over as. money on the basis OF 1515 to l.
prior to 1873 The fixing Of 16 to as
the ratio by our government was purely
arbitrary it was not the commercial or
the French ratio.
The act of 1884 purposly under-valued
silver for political reasons. 1t was tho
fight of the Jacksonian party against
bank money, rather than against silver,
that fixed the impraeticable ratio of 16
to /. When Germany and France closed
their mints to the coinage of silver and
precipitated its fall our ratio of 16 to
would have quickly become operative
and in the judgment of those who have
given the subject most attention would
have controlled the price of silver to the
present day in spite of its greatly. in
creased production.

followed foreign leadership. closed its
minis to silver and brought upon us our
present calamlties.
S. W. T.
TIT depends Oh the definition Of dem
onstize whether our statement that the
act of 1884 really demonetized silver be
correct or not. Webster's Dictionary
(pretty good authority defines it to with
draw from use as money" Now the
effect of the act of 1884 was to withdraw
the silver dollar from use as money in
this country. ME-. Thaxter, himself,
admits that it removed silver from our
currency. Prof. MoMaster in his chapter
on ga Century's Struggle for Silver, -
says: "But the gold coinage act of 1884
slowly demonetized silver 1t is true
that the right of free coinage Of silver
existed on the statute book until 1873 but
after the year 1884, it was surrounded
with conditions that practically nullified

AZ DEAD, 48 INJURED.
HORRIBLE COLLISION AT
ATLANTIC CITY.
A Crowded Excursion Train Run Into by
tho Reading Express at n Crossing

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. g.
Forty-seven dead and forty-three in
jured. These are the figures on the
appalling disaster on "the meadows"
Thursday evening, OF these forty
have been identified. Three of the
unidentified were men and three
women. The odd one consists of an
arm to which no body has been found.
OF the injured, it is more than
probable that four or Ave will die.
Many of the others are injured only
specifically.
The Reading railroad express, which
left Philadelphia at $40 o'clock for
Atlantic City, crashed into Pennsyl.
Vania railroad excursion tram at the
second signal tower, about four miles
out from here. The Pennsylvania
train was returning to Bridgeton with
party Of excursionists from that
place, Millville and ighboring
towns It was loaded with passeno
gers, and a rough estimate OF tho
killed aud injured at late hour places
the number at 100 1t Is hoped that
this is an exaggeration, but the num-
Der is undoubtedly more than fifty.
At the second signal tower the
tracks of the two roads diagonally
cross. The Reading train was given
the signal, but 1T either failed to
work or the speed of the express was
too great TO be checked in time. 1t
caught the excursion train broadside
and plOughed through, literally
cleaving it in twain. The engine of
the Reading train was shattered to
pieces Every car was jammed to its
fullest capacity.
The excursion train was made up of
fifteen cars, the foremost of which
was a baggage car. This and the
next two coaches caught Gie full
force OF the crash, and were utterly
demolished. What remained of the
third car was tumbled into ditch at
the roadside.

Terrible Lose of Life the Result of .
Tidal Wave on ChluG's Coast.
SHANGHAI, Aug IA tidal wave,
estimated to have been about Ave
miles in length, swept in from the sea
last Sunday and inundated the coast
of Hayehau, in the northeast part OF
the province Of Kiang-Su.
Many villages were destroyed and
it is estimated that at least 1000 peo-
pie were drowned. The rice fields
were submerged and almost totally
destroyed, with the result that
famine is feared in that district dur
ing the coming autumn.
Haichau is situated opposite YIN
Chau island, on the coast of the Kiang-
Su province, which is on the Whang-
Hal or Yellow sea. The surface is
most level, which may account for the
great loss of life. Kiang Su is one of
the most fertile provinces of the en-
pire and exports more silk than any
other part Of China. The Yank Use

ince, the principal city of which is
