ONE by one the fiimsy props
are falling from under the free
silver platform. For months the
Populists and Popocrats have
been carrying around a table of
| figures showing that wheat has
risen or gone down just as the
price of silver bullion has been
higher or lower. Just why they
took wheat and cotton and omit
ted to compare. beef, corn, hay,
wages, &C., with silver bullion is
a question that las been often
asked them, but never answered.
The truth is. the comparison
would not work with thousands
of other commodities, but by
changing the figures Slightly they.
managed to make two rows Of
figures showing how wheat and
silver had kept together. The
farmer has been shown these,
figures and told that he must
vote for free silver in order to
raise the price OF silver bullion
and thereby raise the price of
wheat. Now the free silverites
are cursing andwailing at fate.
During the last six weeks wheat
has increased 60 cents per bushel
and silver has steadily decreased
in price. Wheat is now up to
about SO cents and the indications
are that it will reach a dollar.

Four years ago the Republican
leaders and the press told the
American people exactly what
would happen if the Democratic
party should be successful and
the policy of protection be dis
continued. The people have
lived to see the awful result. The
losses for the first year were
greater than the entire cost of
the civil war. Such was the
fearful price we paid just to let
some people try a free trade"
experiment. They call it free
silver" The Republican party
agains calls upon the people to
hesitate before taking this second
step. 1t means disaster, more
terrible than anything we have
yet experienced. 1t means panic,
no work for idle hands, general
bankruptcy and misery and
starvation for thousands. This
time 1t is not only the Republi-
can party that warns you. The
best craftsmanship of the Demo-
cratic party says it means calam.
ity and misfortune. The voices
of our illustrious dead call upon
us to sustain our credit and
honor. The great Blaine says
we cannot afford to adopt free
coinage at l6 to 1. II is against
the teachings of Jefferson and
Webster, of Jackson and Clay.
We cannot afford to experiment
for few silver mine owners. We
will not do so.

never know anything of its welfare She
will not even know whether it lives OF
dies
The baby is the child of aristocratic
parents and was brought TO Oakland yes
terday by a nurse. It's luxurious, expen-
siye clothing surprised all who saw it.
and they were still more surprised at the
story OF the mystery surrounding 1t.
The little one was born IN San Jose and
enjoyed life of luxury just one week.
Then il was spirited away from its mother
and brought TO Oakland. Its mother came
from Chicago several weeks ago with a lady
who said she was her sister-in-law. They
gave evidence of having unlimited means
and the baby was born with q golden spoon
in its mouth.
The sister-in-law decided that the little
innocent must be sent away. In vain the
young mother protested and expressed her
desire to sacrifice everything for the priv
lege Of being allowed TO keep her child.
But the 'sister-in-law" was deaf to all ap-
peals, and according TO the story of the
nurse there was e heartrending scene
when the separation took place.
Mrs. Lydia Prescott, the agent of the
Oakland Children's Society, was asked to
find a home for the child, but as it was
outside her jurisdiction she could not COM
ply with the appeal. The child was
brought to Oakland with letter from a
prominent San Jose physician to a local
doctor, and every effort was made to pre-
serve the strictest secrecy regarding the
disposition CT the baby. Ultimately the
child was given home in ST. Joseph's Or
phan Asylum, where it now Is.
Nothing would satisfy its mother. {"
said the nurse, except that her little bow
be photographed. She was told that she
would surely have picture of it. but she
would not let the child out of her sight
and so the photographer had to take his
camera 20 the apartments and take the
picture while the mother was looking.
When assured that she would get photo
graph she let the woman who was with
her have her way.
Every is sworn to secrecy and I
cannot tell the names of the physicians
and there Is no doubt that the names of
the mother and her friend are fictitious.
1t is one Of the most mysterious cases I
have ever attended. The child is a re-
markedly pretty blonde, and If its mother
had Kept 1t another week no one would
ever have got 1t away from her. She left
to-day for Chicago and all she has regard
ing the child IS a photograph. She prob
ably could not find her own child now.
and certain it is the little one will never
know its name. Now that thew have gone
East there is not the least solution TO the
mystery. 1t is little story from a nurses
life, but cannot say that care for such
experiences"
