 FREE SILVER.
Would Not Remedy the Unequal Distribu
 tion of Wealth.


 tion of Wealth.
 It is because of the belief that in some way free coinage would give the poorer classes some of the wealth now in the hands of the rich that the farmers and workers in some sections of the country have favored the 16 to l scheme.
 The shallowness Of the pretense that the silver standard would help the poor as against the rich can be seen by con- sidering the results which it's advocates claim would follow it's adoption. They insist that by measuring values in dol lars worth half of gold dollar the value of all the wealth in the country would be exactly doubled. This is an error arising out of the silverite confu- sion of value with price. Prices would doubtless be doubled as compared with the 50 cent dollar, but the value of all kinds of goods would not be increased ill the slightest degree. Does any farmer think that his implements or his furni- ture would really be worth more to him if their nominal price was doubled?
 AOAb GHoh II 1l1tO5 WCAO AOuO1CO HUN would that help the people who are poor! The man who now has $1. 900, 900 worth of property would under free silver have $2,000, 900 worth This would benefit him 100 times as much, so far as prices are concerned, as the man with $10, 900 and l, 1000 times as much as the man with only $l, ,000 The men who now have nothing would under free coinage have exactly twice nothing. The gap between the poor man and the mil lionaire would be just as great as it is now. The laborer, who has no goods to sell. would find that the prices of all his food aud clothing were twice as high, while any increase of wages would come slowly if at all In compelling the masses to pay higher prices for all they consume, while doubling the price of the property of the wealthy classes, free silver would make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
 Free coinage as n scheme for enrich ing the owners of few silver mines and getting offices for calamity bowling politicians may be great success. As means of abolishing the differences between the poor and the wealthy classes it is a monumental fraud.

Free Coinage Explained.

Coinage at the ratio of Is to means simply that the silver dollar shall weigh 16 times as much as the gold dollar. It does not mean, as some suppose, that the government shall coin 16 silver dol lars to every gold dollar. Free coinage means that the hints shall take the bullion presented by individuals and coin it into dollars. hand them to the individual, and he and all others WI get them can compel their acceptance for debts according to their face value The amount of silver bullion required to make a dollar can be bought now for about 50 cents.

HELD UP.
Cashier of Chicago Concern Robbed
of $1,000.

of $1,000.
Chicago, Sept. 2G.-Two robbers late
Friday afternoon entered the Office Of
the Western Foundry company at the
corner of Thirty-seventh street and Al
bany avenue and holding up the cashier
took $1,000 from the safe and escaped.
They We're pursued by crowd which
was collected by the foundry people,
and were in fair way to be captured
al Thirty-siXth street and California
avenue, but again eluded their pursuers.
AT this place the buggy in which the
men were riding broke down, and as
they were about starting to escape on
foot, milknan came along. The two
men jumped into his wagon and de-
handed that he vacate. On refusing,
they shot him, pitched him out and
drove away at a furious pace. Officers
from the Brighton police station who
had been appraised of the outrage were
soon OH the scene and started in pur-
suit of the flying robbers in patrol
wagon. The men were lost sight of,
however, but the police after following
in the direction in which they were sup
posed to have fed, found, nearly two
miles from the foundry, the milk wagon,
which had also broken down. The en-
tire southwestern police district was
notified and large detail of officers
was sent out. There were five men in
the office of the foundry when the hold
up occurred. 1t is claimed by one of
these that the men were former en-
ployes. One of the robbers was fash
ionably dressed, while the other was
rather shabbily dressed in suit Of
brown. The name of the cashier is NJ.
A. Rourke. The milkman, Frank N.Y.
hoft, was shot in the leg and is not dan
gerously wounded. The police up to a
late hour had secured no truce Of the
