The Wage-Earner and Free Silver


What then is the outlook for the wage
Garner under free silver? He would have
to pay in silver from so to 100 per cent
more than he now pays in gold for prac-
tically everything that he needs, while
at the same time he could feel no GER
tainty that his wages would be much, if
any higher in silver than they now are in
gold. Grant that after a long term of
years the equilibrium might again be
restored he would even then have gained
nothing-he would simply have got back
to his present position of advantage; that
is, his wages would have been increased
sufficiently in silver to make them equal
to the present amount in gold. In the
meantime he would have been obliged to
incur all the risks and losses attending
the carrying out of the free silver policy.
There is another particular in which free
silver would operate to the wage Garner S
disadvantage. If he is of frugal habits
he has saved up few hundred dollars and
put the money in Il savings bank. Under
free silver these Accommodations will be re-
duced about one half in their gold value,
the depositor getting in return for what
was worth 100 cents in gold at the time of
utposlu, SILVER uolldI worm only %
cents. What compensation does free sill
yer hold out to him for this loss? Alb
solutely none. Very likely, too, he has
small life insurance policy taken out to
make provision for his family in the con-
tingency of his death. He has been pay
ing the premiums on this policy for years,
always feeling that those dependent on him
would be we'll taken care of, at least for
time, through this little fund after he
had passed away. Now he finds that
the allowance is to be cut down one half
In this case, too, free silver offers him no
equivalent. for his loss. Financial

Literary News and Notes.

McClure's Magazine for September will
contain short sea story of quite unusual
quality and interest, by new writer
Morgan Robertson, once sailor before
the mast. There will also be stories by
Mrs. Spofford and Clinton Ross.
The Definition, Object, and Sphere of
Taxation will be treated by David A.
Wells in Appletons' Popular Science
Monthly for September. Many popular
errors as to the nature of taxation, some
centuries old, will be pointed out in this
paper.
In the August number of Current
Events, the monthly news-review pub
lished in Hartford, Connecticut, the posi-
ton of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe on
woman suffrage is clearly defined, Mrs.
Isabella Beecher Hooker, the famous
philanthropist and suffrage advocate,
telling of her sisters relations with the
cause. The other features of the maya
zine are as complete as usual.
The leading article in the American
Kitchen Magazine for August is an inter
esting write up of 1.-The Industrial Train
ing School of Indianapolis. The paper
is fully illustrated A large number of
receipts, just the kind every housewife
desires at this season, are given. 1.-THE
Children Table, contains much of value
to mothers. Several timely articles and
the usual departments make up valua-
BILE number.
Mcclure Magazine for September will
contain the first report ever published of
Abraham Lincoln famous ''Lost Speech,
delivered at Bloomington, before the first
Republican State Convention held III
Illinois. II never witnessed such a scene
before or since,' says Joseph Medill,
editor of the Chicago Tribune, who
was a member of the convention and
writes an introduction to the report of the
speech describing the occasion.
George W. Smalley, the famous Ameri-
can editor author, has been granted a
two months holiday by his paper, the
London Times, and has gone abroad on a
special mission for The Ladies' Home
Journal. He has engaged to prepare a
short series Of articles for that magazine,
and is gathering the material for them in
Europe. The work will necessitate his
spending part of the summer in England,
and the remainder in Germany.
Ian Maclarens new short story. the
last he will write until after his American
visit, has been secured by The Ladies'
Home Journal, for publication in the Oc-
tober and November issues. 1t is called
''The Minister of st. Bede's,'' and is said
to be in the brightest and cleverest
Maclarenesque vein. Besides it's charm as
a delightful romance, the story is said to
be notable for the admirable character
that the author has created for the chief
personage-the minister of st. Bede's, as
the loyal lover of an humble Scotch lassie.

THE SOUTHERN,S CUT.
They File Very Ambiguous Schedule of
Freight Rates.

Washington, Sept. 3-Notice of re-
duced rates on the Southern railway was
filed to-day with the interstate commerce
committee, and they will take effect Sat
urday. The rates had evidently been
prepared for some time, rs the schedules
were printed and the date had been in
serted by typewriter, thus furnishing
evidence, it is said that the Southern is
by no means loathe to continue the rat
war. This, some men declare, bears out
the claim frequently made by Vice. Pres
ident st. John, of the Scaboard Air Line,
that the Southern is really the aggrcssor
III the fight and not the Air Line and
that the Air Line has, in each instance,
been forced in self-protection to take the
initial steps i'll the reduction rates.
The schedule filed was prepared by the
Southern States Freight Association. and
applies only to freight tariff. 1t is pre-
pared in such an ambiguous manner that
the interstate commerce commission does
not know whether the maximum rates APP
ply to intermediate points or not, and
yesterday Auditor Smith wrote the
Southern Railway Company for informa-
ton concerning that Important fact.
The auditors inquiry was FASTENED by
telegram from f. S. Goodman, chair
man of the Richmond, Va, chamber of
commerce, who desired to know if the
Southern had ignored the fourth clause
of the act, regulating the filing Of. notices
of reductions, which relates to long and
short hauls or intermediate stations.
The meeting of the Southern States
Freight Associations executive commit
tee Wednesday did not touch upon the
passenger tariff but ut II meeting held in
New York to-day this important item
was on the programme for action and,
while nothing is know here about what
the outcome of the meeting would he,

would be lowered to the same point the

not thought that they would he made
any lower, because the freight reductions
had been fixed ut precisely the same fig
ures formerly established by the Air Line
