The Wages Of Labor.

He might have added, and this point
seems to worry our monometallist
friends, that the wages of laborers rose
considerably faster than the prices OF
necessaries. Even so did they in 1848-
&c. And why not again? In truth the
wages of more than half our laborers
have got to rise before there can be a
rise in necessaries. Monometallists have
conveniently overlooked the fact that 60
per cent Of the laborers in the United
States do not work for fixed money
wages they produce, and what they sell
the products for constitutes their wages.
1t is self evident, therefore, that rise
in the price of the product is itself a
rise in wages. This class includes all
the farmers, cotton, sugar and tobac-
% growers vegetable gardeners, fisher

may state positively, however, that L Will
never vote for free silver. My views on
the silver question are well known. Gold
and silver never in any country circulated
simultaneously, concurrently and indis-
criminately as coins at fixed ratio under
unrestricted free coinage OF both metals.
s'By natural law there is but one way to
provide for bimetallism in any country,
and that is TO make the more precious
metal the standard, and then float such
an amount of the cheaper metal as can be
Kept upon an undoubted equality through
interchangeab ility.
''The so-called double standard is with
out the slightest foundation in any known
principle of economic law and is an utter
fallacy. 1t has been exposed by every
modern economist and tinancier of credit
and renown and rejected by every west
ern power of any commercial importance
whatsoever.
Government cannot create value, and
current values of moneys are determined
independent of legislative enactment or
Government fiat. There never was con-
trivance so potent for injuring the masses
Of mankind as so-called cheap money.
There can be no such thing as double
standard. We must choose either gold or
silver for our standard.
From my contact with men in the
business world l know that independent
of party the great mass of merchants and
fnanciers favor gold, and there are large
numbers in this City who will this year
for the first time in their lives turn their
backs upon Democracy"

Robert II. MORROW.

Robert Head Morrow, an attorney To-
Gated in the Crocker building has plumed
himself on being a Democrat for twenty
years. He freely admits that his love for
the party of Jefferson and Jackson has
amounted almost to blind idolatry.
But there came a change; long list of
National calamities following in the wake
of Democratic misrule brought him to a
realization of the fact that screw was
loose in the political machinery.
81 have patiently waited Tor the head
engineers of the Government to tighten
that screw" said Morrow, "but to my sur
prise and chagrin, instead of doing that
they have Withdrawn the fires from the
furnaces and left the ship OF State to drift
whithersoever she will.
"By some miracle she has so far avoided
the reefs, but this year we are about to
founder on the rock of finance.
''For twenty years l have been proud OF
my Democratic principles. If the style
were still in vogue should now be robed
in sackcloth and ashes.
stThe platform adopted by the party at
Chicago is indicative Of its status. 1t is
not only very weak, but it was due TO the
enthusiasm and a jangle of silver words
from a silver-tongued orator.

are said to desert a ship about TO sink.

to bid farewell to the party ere it meets its

born IN the western portion of that coun-
try SO years ago. When he was % years of
age he emigrated to the United States and
settled in the town of Pomeroy, Meiggs
County, Ohio, where he engaged for a
time in the grocery business, and shortly
after he started for California. In 1852 he
joined al emigrant train and crossed the
plains, arriving at Yreka September 81.
His first three years in this State were
passed in the mines, but he afterward en-
barked in the cattle trade.
He went to Oregon and bought herd of
beeves, which he drove down to Califor-
MIA. His trip was one of the most adven-
turous ever made, and he met with many
hair breadth escapes. He remained in the
cattle trade in Alameda County till 1866,
and in that year he disposed of his prop
erty and took up his residence in Liver
more Valley, leasing land for which he has
since paid $4,000.
In 1881 Mr.. Wynn purchased 800 acres OF
land near the Townsend School, but sub
sequently sold out. and, abandoning farm
ing altogether, invested in town property,
to the care of which he devoted his atten-
ton during the later years OF his life.
His death was unexpected, as few days
ago he was apparently enjoying good
health. His last sickness quickly turned
into pneumonia, which proved fatal. The
funeral took place from the Presbyterian
church. The inLerment was accom- panied
by the Masonic-ritual services under the
auspices of Lodge No. 21S. Past Worship

ceremony. His Sunday-school class. who
followed him to his grave. were greatly

John j. VALENTINO.

John J. Valentine, president of Wells,
Fargo g. Co., has been too long an admirer
of Jeffersonian principles and a supporter
of that party which justified its existence
under those principles to come trooping
into the Republican fold with a glad
heart. Even now he hesitates about say
ing he will support the Republican ticket
He prefers to state the proposition mega
lively, but this he does very emphatically.
The money question with him is more
than mere campaign Issue. From his
position at the helm of one of the greatest
business institutions in the West he has
had unrivaled opportunity to study the
ebb and flow of matters financial, and the
instincts OF a scholar, coupled with a
shrewd business perception, have enabled
him to grasp the intricacies of the subject
in manner that makes his opinion one of
greatest value. The results OF his investi-
cations on this subject have recently been
embodied in two scholarly articles which
appeared in the Overland Monthly.
In both of these he forciDly urged the
claims of gold as the only logical standard.
1t was not to be supposed then that even
his lifelong loyalty to Democracy would
be sufficient inducement for him TO throw
aside principle as important and upon
which he was as determined as was that
spurned by the stampedec convention at
Chicago.

BIANCHI WAS UNGALLANT
Said He Would Be Hanged if
He Would Marry Bertha
Lehman.
How a Fruit-Dealer Came to Take a
Note and the Result of the
Transaction.

81 put the rope around my neck first, D.
said America Bianchi in Justice Barry
court yesterday when asked if he ever had
any intention of marrying pretty Bertha
Lehman, and, moreover, he said it to Miss
Lehman's face, for she sat in court and
stared defiantly at Bianchi while he testi-
fed.
The trouble grew out of transaction
over a promissory note.
Bianchi ran fruit and produce store at
s13 Larkin street, and Charles Lehman,
the young lady's father, conducted shoe
shop and pickle factory combined next
door.
After the lapse of few years the rela-
tons of the two shopkeepers became
friendly, and Lehman asked Bianchi to
loan him $15O.
Whether it was Bertha's bright eyes or
the chance of making good investment
that Iured Bianchi was not told in the
testimony, but he loaned the money and
took note for the amount. Later he
was told that he should have seen Lehman
sign the note, and he returned the pape
to Bertha, demanding second note, to be
signed in his presence. He received it,
but when payment was demanded the
note he had returned was shown him and
the claim made that he had given the
paper-the only genuine one-to Miss
Bertha. Then he forgot her brilliant
orbs, and sued.
Miss Lehman admitted on the stand
that she had received many presents from
Bianchi, including pair OF diamond ear
rings, which her father had returned to
the fruit dealer prior to the beginning oil
the suit. She demurely admitted that she
believed that Bianchi was "crazy" to
marry her, but was equally sure that there
was not the slightest chance Of her accept
ing him.
HThen you were merely working the
plaintiff, were your" asked Bianchi's at
torney.
The question nearly precipitated row
the court, witness and both attorneys
talking at once, the former to stop the
pickering, while Miss Lehman's father
and sister muttered ominously in the rear
Miss Lehman was not compelled to an
swer.
Then Bianchi took the stand and said
he would hang himself before he would
marry the fair Bertha or any one else. He
admitted that he had given Bertha pres
ents, but said the note was not one oil
them, and that he was not in love with
her to that extent.
The court intimated that he believed
Bianchi's story and that he would give
him verdict.

This fragment may serve as sample of
a rather piquant dialogue which took place
yesterday between Secretary Welsh of the
Society for the prevention OF Cruelty to
Children and John A. Mack of 421 Harriet
street.

She also said he drank, and when drunk
beat her and the little ones numerically.
The case seemed an oft-told tale to Mr..
Welsh and causing Mack to be brought to
the office he gave him a vigorous hauling
over the Goals. Mack's misconduct was
first brought to the notice of the society
twelve years ago. He was threatened with
arrest and punishment in case he continues
his antics.

The anti-silver sentiment among the
Democrats is increasing daily.
There are many honest Democrats, and
they are proud of their independence and
willingness to give the public the benefit
of an honest political opinion.
One prominent Democrat says: "Theres
never was a continuance so potent for in
jury to the masses of mankind as so-called
cheat-money."
Another says: "a panic such as the
country never dreamed of would follow
such settlement of the money question
as that proposed in the Dem ocratic plat
form"
Then there are others who lay claim to
no thorough understanding of the finance
question, but urge protection as the para
