Mexico has free and unlimited coin
age. and yet the Mexican silver dollar,
although larger than ours, is quoted In
New York, Paris, London and Berlin at
90 cents. 1t should be said also that in
Mexico it is worth but 80 cents In gold
and that 1t passes there and elsewhere
at its bullion value as measured by the
money Of commerce.

The Grand Army Of Creditors.

The gentlemen who think that they
have made an attractive bid for votes
by proposing a so cent dollar for debtors
to pay their debts with are reckoning
without their host. Every state Of the
Union is full of creditors, and they will
never consent TO defraud and cheat
themselves.
Among these creditors are:
All persons who work for wages, sal
airy or by the piece.
All members Of building and loan
associations.
All depositors in savings, national,
state or private banks.
All holders Of life, fire and accident
insurance policies.
All members Of benevolent and fra
ternal insurance orders.
All holders Of industrial insurance.
All widows orphans or wards de-
pendent wholly or partially upon the
income from investments.
All educational and charitable insti-
tutions dependent wholly or in part up
on the income of their endowments.
In fact, the 90 cent silver dollar
would be of advantage TO few persons
in the long run save the spectators,
who would gamble on the inevitable
fluctuations in its purchasing power and
in the price of commodities. Exchange.

PILOT BOAT SERVICE.
The Work Outside OF Cape Flattery Is
Highly Appreciated.

Port Townsend, Aug. s.-Special-The
pilot boat service outside OF Cape Flat
terry is a success and Is much appreciated
by foreign shipping. The feet yacht w.
J. Bryant, OF Seattle. is steadily cruis-
ing of the coasts OF Washington and Van
couver island. There were three pilots
on board. Capts. Nichols. LELAND and
Powers. They have plotted three deep
water vessels into port within the past
month. the Cambersdoon 10 Vancouver
the Dundee TO Victoria and the EiIce to
Port Tow-send. So far tbs pilots have not
made much money. but they are satisfied
TO establish a good service and expect TO
reap their profits during the winter
months. Foreign shipmas.ers appreciate
the establishment OF the service and argue
that Il a pilot had been on board the ship
Janet Cowan last January she would not
have been wrecked on the coast Of Van
couver and seven lives lost. Owing to the
absence OF pilots hardly a winter passes
bat there are one or two vessels wrecked,
which Is generally attributed 10 lack OF
an efficient pilot service.
