what Free silver would Mean.
From McKinley's letter Of acceptance |

- NNNNPN~-
Free silver would not mean that silver
dollars were to be freely had without cost
or labor. II would mean the free use OF
the minis of the United States for the few
who are owners of silver bullion, but would
make silver coin no freer to the many who
are engaged in other enterprises. 1t would
not make labor easier, the hours of labor
shorter or the pay better. 1t would not
make farming less laborious or more prof.
liable. 1t would not start a factory or
make demand for an additional days la
Dor. 1t would create no new occupations.
1t would add nothing to the comfort of the
masses, the capital of the people or the
wealth of the nation. 1t seeks to introduce
a new measure of value, but would add no
value to the thing measured. 1t would not
conserve values. On the contrary, it would
derange all existing values. 1t would not
restore business confidence, bat its direct
effect would be to destroy the little which
yet remains.
The meaning of the coinage plank adopt
ed at Chicago is that any one may take a
quantity OF silver bullion, now worth 50
cents, to the mints of the United States,
have 1t coined at the expense of the govern
ment, and receive for it a silver dollar
which shall be legal tender for the payment
of all debts, public and private. The owner
of the silver bullion would get the silver
dollar. 1t would belong to him and to no.
body else. Other people would get it only
by their labor, the products of their lands,
or something of value. The bullion owner,
on the basis of present values, would re-
ceive the silver dollar for SO cents worth
of silver, and other people would be re-
quired to receive it as a full dollar in the
payment of debts. The government would
get nothing from the transaction. 1t would
bear the expense of coming the silver, and
the community would suffer loss by its USE

his field at the quarter pole. Walsh set
the pace around into the home stretch, but
contented himself with third place at the
finish, the fight being between Nadeau and
Hutchins, the Keene boy heading by
ength. Hoyt, Callahan and Allen also
qualified. Fuller and Rich collided on the
upper turn and fell, throwing Hoyt and
Allen behind the field. Down the home
stretch Allen was leading Hoyt by 100
yards. Allen rode lesurely, evidently not
realizing that he had a chance of winning
a place in the final. Hoyt spurted and
passed him by few inches at the tape.

ten who qualified started in the final,
which was run after the trial of the anna
teur open. Hutchins set the pace for the
last quarter, and he pedaled rapidly down
the stretch. Huffstetler shot out like a
rocket, however, and beat him by clean
length. Six inches separated Nat Butler
and Hoyt, and the Springfield boy would
have landed in third place had the race
been five yards longer. NaGsau, whom
many had picked as winner, was lost in

SIGNALS.
The Vermont Wheel clubs race meet
last Friday was success In every way but
all things considered not as satisfactory, as
the brilliant record of last year. The wealth
er was perfect, with the exception that the
wind was too heavy for fast time. The
field of professional riders was the largest
jthat had appeared in New England this
year and liveliest sprinters of Glass A were
there. The largest mar on the days en-
oyment was the repeated tumbles. The
exhibition by st. Onge was farce, and the
fact that the exhibition rides by Walsh and
Butler were not under record time dulled
the enthusiasm. There were, however,
many excellent features. The close fin
ishes between Butler and Hoyt, Walsh's
sprint in the trial heat of the half mile
open professional, and the terrific rushes
for the tape by the flaxen haired boy from
Chicopee will not soon be forgotten. Lud-
wig was the hero of the day. In trials and
finals he started six times and landed first
in all but one race, when he was pocketed,
but came out second. The attendance was
about 2500, and the receipts will just about
pay the expenses.

J. e. Walsh Of Barre, the Vermont
champion, is % years old and has been
racing four years. He won the state cham
pionships when 10. He started in SO races
last year and won 32 prizes, including 10
first. At Springfield last year he broke
the worlds record for the half mile and
two-thirds mile i'm competition. He has
started in only few races as a profess

The three Oldest racing men of America

appeared nearly as long ago and was the
star of the Victor team when Rowe and
Hendee were the shining lights of the CO.

steadily for IL to 10 years. Berlo is one
of the fastest men in the world against

waIsh,s Half In so 4-S Seconds.

Between the two heats of the amateur
race j. E. Walsh, the Vermont Wheel club
champion and the fastest rider the state
has ever produced, came out to try for the
track record of 5S 2-5 seconds made by f..
G. Bald last year. Walsh had dotted the
green suit of the Eclipse racing team and
appeared in pretty costume of royal pur-
pie and white, the club colors. After a
warming up half he caught the tandem,
manned by Callahan and Pierce. He held
close to the tandem throughout the half,
making the quarter in 20 As and the half
in SO As seconds. Had the tandem gone
faster Walsh would have broken the rec
ord, but considering the strong wind that
was blowing when he made the trial his
performance was more remarkable than
Bald's last year, and he was warmly ap-
plauded.

Adams thought the men had given a good
race and. ordered the trial to stand.
Rhoades, Butler, Porter and Walsh quail
fed.
The second heat was marred by fright
full looking collision in front of the grand
stand. Hoyt and Berlo led, and behind
them came Huffstetler and Nadeau in a
terrific squirt, side by side. They went to-
gether and were thrown a long distance
down the track, Nadeau skipping along
the ground like ball. Rich was SO close
that he could not stop and he was thrown
heavily, and mixed up in the wreck of
wheels so that he had to be assisted to
arise. Rich appeared to be badly hurt,
but he was only stunned and raced later,
as he qualified in this heat through falling
across the tape. Fuller went by on the in
side in third place, and Hutchins, Pratt,
Pierce, Townshend and Callahan rode un-
placed. Nadeau and Huffstetler walked
on the track so easily that no one realized
that the Florida boy had broken his collar
bone. DIR. Gale was ready to attend him
and he was taken to the Brattleboro House,
and the next day be left for Saratoga.
The final was run after the trials of the
mile handicap, amateur. Pratt was pace
maker. Nat Butler again beat out Hoyt
by narrow margin, and blanket would
have covered Porter, Berlo and Fuller,
who finished in the order named. Time,

The British flag has come down in
Trinidad, and that of Brazil has been ele-
waited in its place. The claim of England
rested on various considerations, the chief
of which was that she found the island a
convenient place for a telegraph station
and so took 1t without consulting anybody,
even the people who owned it or those who
occupied it. What argument Brazil
brought to bear on England we do not
know. Unlike Venezuela, she did not in
yoke the aid of the United States, being
confident of her own ability to master the
situation. AS the result shows, she was
not unequal to the task.

From the Boston Journal.

Vermont has started the tidal wave that
is going 70 engulf the cause of anarchy and
repudiati8n. That unexampled Republi-
can majority means that all that has been
said of the weakness and hopelessness of
the free SILVER propaganda is true. The
farmers and &he wage earners of the North
will have none of it. They are not to be
caught by the Arts of shallow demagogues.
The blacksmith and the plowman have no
intention of becoming the dupes of bonan-
"a kings and political adventures. Yer
mont Republicans are as loyal and united
as of old, and thousandsSf Democrats-all
honor to them-have had \the courage to
put country before party and help TO swell
this mighty majority, the news of which
will bring exultation to the friends of
sound money in every state in the repub-
lie. As the first popular verdict ON the is
sues of the campaign, this Vermont cleo
tion possesses extraordinary Significance,
which is heightened by the extraordinary
nature of the victory.

The Runco Act.

An alleged exhibition was given by Fred
st. Onge of Boston. He was highly rec
commended by prominent cyclists of Boston
as an expert performer, and the press Of
that city had given him unstlnted praise.
He came out in hobo costume which was
SO much of an exaggeration that the effect
was silly. Then he tumbled about the
track for a short time before disappearing,
Everybody supposed that he was to return
to give trick riding, but he never came.
The Wheel Club boys thought Of the cool
$25 which it cost to get him here and con.
cluded that they had been buncoed, and
the crowd pondered on the why and where
fore Of his appearance.

Butler, Fitzgerald, Porter, Crooks,
Rhoades, Allen, Craigue and Walsh were
of at the sound Of the pistol for the first
heat Of the half mile professional open.
The pace was slow and on the back stretch
Walsh found himself leading against his
own will. Fifty yards from the tape Por-
ter, Rhoades and Allen were riding neck
and neck, with Walsh on the inside a
length back. No one supposed that the
Vermont Wheel club champion could land
better than fourth, but he jumped his wheel
past all the others. Rhoades, Porter, AL
len and Butler also qualified. Time, :19a.
Adams, Hutchins, Fuller, Callahan,
Hoyt, Pierce, Nadeau, Townshend, Lewis,
Hutfstetler and Berlo came out for the sec
ond heat. Fuller jumped to the lead, but
the positions shifted several times. 1t was
anybody's race up to the last so yards.
The finish was Hutchins, Nadeau, Huffs-
teller, HOyt, Fuller. Time, 1:15 1-5.
All of the men who had qualified APP
peared for the final. A time limit of 10
was named, and G. II. Craigue was put in
as pace maker. He carried the men along
at a lively clip, considering the wind.
Hutchins, who has been rated as a rider of
ordinary ability, again gave the cracks a
surprise by landing in first place, a length
ahead of Porter. Allen was third and
Hoyt fourth. Adams attempted to pass
the pace maker on the inside just as the
stretch was reached. This carelessness
cost him bad tumble, as he collided with
the fence, bobbed around on the points of
the piekets for moment, and then struck
the track. There was resounding crash,
and 1t was supposed that he was seriously
injured, but he walked to the training
quarters without difficulty. The time for
this race was / :06 1-5.
