LETTER FROM MAcEo.
= Is Seat to the Jenta by Special
Messenger.

Messenger.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 27.-The first
direct ana authentic news from the
mountain camp of Antonio Maceo that
has been received in this country since
General Weyler left Havana fer the
front weeks ago, came Wednesday by
q special messenger, who stopped in this
city. Maceo sends greetings TO his coun-
trymen ia the United States. and in a
few words assures them and the friends
of Cuba throughout the country that his
gallant band Is safe and able, for time,
at least. to take care of itself, no mat
ter what the Spaniards may do. The
message Is directed to the New York
juRta and reads:
We have withstood the enemy in
many encounters and are prepared for
any move he may make. We have rem.
dered him much injury, and will be
able to withstand any of his attacks for
some time to come
Assure our noble friends in the
United States that the cause Of liberty
viii net suffer in Pinar del Rio. To
those who are friendly to our cause, I
send greetings.
The message wa dated at the rebel
camp, near Las Poxas, on the northern
coast. at the farthest end of the Rubi
chain Of mountains. along which were
the several camps and strongholds of
Maeeos forces.
Cnbans in this city are especially elat-
ed over the receipt of tie message, for
they were fearful Of the POSITION occu-
pied BY the Cuban forces during the last
two months or six weeks.
The carrier of the message, whose
name is net gwen out by the Cuban
leaders, was Il witness to the fight at
ArtenHsa, whi6s4 was first reported as a
Spanish victory and later as drawn
battle.
1T was a splendid fight, said the
Cuban officer, land gave great hope and
courage TO the entire army. You in the
United States, who have only received
meager and uutrnthful reports, can have
no idea of the nature of things in Pinar
del Rio But [ will speak more especi-
ally Of Artemisa, where one of the
greatest Cuban victories was won. Ma
c o did net use his entire force against
the Spaniards, but the latter, who num-
beTed between 5000 and 5000, were
driven back from the foothills and
many of them were slain upon the hard
plateau before the town As night came
on Maceo ordered two battaions to the
brow OF tho hill and shelled the town.
Fires began in various places in the
city and the effect of the cannonading
was something wonderful The two
dynamite guns did fearful work.
"ArtenIisa was almost destroyed.
You would be surprised at the work of
our cannon. The walls of the city were
torn apart and many of the big houses
were completely demolished. learned
that many We're killed during the four
hours bombardment. The loss of the
enemy in the city alone was in the
neighborhood Of $50, according TO those
with whom 1 talked while my brief
stay lasted.
The bearer of General Maoeo's mes
sage will confer with the leaders in
New York. deliver the message To rs
trada Palma and then Immediately re-
turn to receive promotion, which is in
yariably extended to those who return
safely from a perilous mission.

This table shows, In other words. that
as compared with 1873. in gold prices.
corn was 10 per cent. higher In 1894. oats
about the same, and mess pork about
the same. while silver had fallen so per
cent. If the fall in wheat and cotton
had been caused by contraction of the
volume of the worlds standard money
there would have been corresponding
fall in the prices Of all other commo-
dities. No such general fall having oc-
Cured. is it not reasonable to infer that
the fall in wheat, cotton and one or two
other articles has been due to special
causes, unconnected with the currency?
This Is the view taken by some Of the
greatest of modern economists. among
whom we may mention NJ. Paul Beau
lieu, who in l. 'Economiste for March So
1895, wrote:
The demonstration that the abandon
ment of silver In nowise affects the fall In
prices is shown decisively by considering
other products not imported from silver
standard countries, but which come solely
or nearly so, from gold standard countries.
Take wood, for instance. Few articles
have fallen so low in price. 1t comes from
Scandinavian countries, with gold stand
ard; from Canada (gold). Then again

Australia (golD, from the Cape (gold).
and a small quantity from Argentina,
which has no metal standard, but paper
money. Coffee. on the contrary, which
comes from 4 country whose exchange
has deprecated prodigiously (BraziD, has
risen during the last twenty years. In
stead Of seeking a cause unique and mys-
terious for the low price Of a host OF ar
ticles 1t would be better to examine the
I'll a atnHt tnvn
one of them, and they are soon found. viz:
The opening up of new countries; agricul-
tural progress and intensive culture in
old countries; perfection In navigation
and the lowering of freight rates, all coin
Gliding with the reduction in the rate of
increase Of population in civilized couR-
tries. Production makes enormous prog
ress by scientific applications. and the
population increases less and less in
France. Belgium. Switzerland. in Eng
land, the United States and all over the
civilized world.
The principal arguments of the free
coinage movement having thus been
shown to be based on u misstatement Of
facts. but little remains to be said in
reply to the minor arguments. The Salt
Lake Tribune's chief worry. as indi-
Gated in the foregoing catechisn. seems
to, be lest there should not be enough
gold in the world to make stable basis
for the worlds currency. We reply to
this fear by quoting as follows from the
New York Evening Post:
The Industrial use of gold has in re-
cent years been a subject Of close investi.
cation. the conclusion reached by gen.
eral agreement among experts being that
