WILL BITTERLY REPENT 1T
Letter From Railroad Conductor in
Mexico.

(F'rom the San Bernardlno T1meS-lnuex)
The following letter was written by }.
r. Condit, a contractor running out OF
Rason, Mexico, an old friend of II. Is.
Sherman, the Santa Fe agent at Pasa-
dena 1t was written to a fellow con-
ductor at Billings, Mont. 1t tells an
entirely different story of the desirable
ity Of free silver for railroad employees
than given by the circular letters sent
out from Mexico in the interest Of Mr..
Bryan's candidacy This is the plain,
unvarnished truth. It is a significant
fact that while many men who left the
railroad service here during the late
strike and went to Old Mexico because
they could obtain employment nowhere
else, none of them have written back to
their friends recommending the country
or it's monetary system for wage earn
ers. There are none but would like their
old jobs back and their pay in gold or
its equivalent. Mr.. Condit writes:
Il received your letter Of the 10Th
inst. to-day, and as / have a few mo-
ments to spare l hasten to answer.
In the first place this money ques-
ton is too deep for me and l cannot for
an instant imagie what the outcome
will be if the United States comes out
for free and unlimited coinage of silver.
No country has ever prospered under it,
but possibly America is powerful
| enough to stand alone upon this ques-
ton and experience no bad results, but
/ doubt it.
AS you may have heard around
about the clubs, 1 have always been a
Democrat, but, my boy, If I was in the
United States in November Mckinley
would get my vote.
Mexico, with it's free silver, is lesson
enough for me, and l sincerely hope
that l will never live to see the Ameri-
can workingman vote himself down to
the level of laborer in Mexico.
L sent to Joe Widmyer, editor and
proprietor of the Glendive 'Independ-
ent.' last week a table Of wages Of this
country, and it alone should convince
any thinking man that free silver is
lad for them. 1t will reduce your
wages as sure as the sun shines.
My run is between Rascon and Tam
pico, 200 kilometers, or 125 miles. the
same distance as from Glendive to For
syth, Mont. For the round trip 1 re-
ceive $40, and if l make ten trips
| receive 500. If l am then called to
the States or any other country on
earth, except South America, / ex-
change my money and get $53 While
freight conductor running from Glen
dive to Forsyth, same number Of trips,
gets $13 80, and they consider in Mex
leo that freight conductors on this di-
vision are paid too much-best paid
men on the system. Passenger con-
ductors get $16O month or $S2 in your
country; engineers SO day, amounting
to So in the States.

COULTER FOR SOUND MONEY.
He Believes in That as Well as Pro-
hibitiOn.
How Foreign Syndicates of Brewers
Drain Our Country of
Its Gold.

Frank e. Coulter, Prohibition candi-
date for Congress, addressed small
audience at Seventh and K streets last
evening, and confined his remarks to
the money question and the effect of the
liquor traffic ON Sacramento.
The saloons, he contended, accumu-
lated from the earnings of the people of
Sacramento each month in the year
$40, 900. OF this amount the saloon
keeper gets some, the bartender a little
and the hanger-on less and the main
portion goes to the breweries owned and
controlled by foreign syndicates. The
money taken in is silver, which is ship
ped to San Francisco and there juggled
until it has been traded for gold, and
then it goes out Of the country never TO
return. The silver was left and there
was no demand for it. He was talking
to silver mon, he said, and contended
that everything from money to marbles
was regulated by supply and demand,
ard no legislation in the world could
increase the market value CT silver.
De4tandardizing OF silver, he said, did
not alter it's value. 1t was a commod-
ity, and the supply was greater than the
demand. The people had not silver bull
ion to cOin--it was the foreign mine
| owner. The silver in a dollar was worth
but half it's face value, and the owner
of bullion expected to double his capital
by a free coinage Act.
The Constitution of the United States
clearly provided that Congress should
issue all money used and regulate the
supply, and system Of free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver meant taking the
matter of finance entirely out of the
hands of Congress and placing it into
the hands of foreign mine owners or
! others who have stored away chea p
bullion against the coming Of just such
a day as they anticipate will come. This
action III taking the money making
power out of the hands of Congress
could not stand-it would be unconsti-
! tutional Suppose a free coinage law
were passed. Would the workman get
any of the silver rushed into the mint?
Not much. The mine owner would get
! 1t all.
The metal should be taken out of the
hands of the capitalist He
should sell it to the Govern
ment at the market price and the
Government should coin it, using the
surplus as seigniorage to pay the eX-
pense of nintage. In this event the
expense Of the working man. Then turn
the money into the proper channels and
prosperity would follow.
! The speaker paid his respects to
Messrs De Vries and Johnson, the
| former of whom, he said, was criminal
lawyer and was any mans man who
had money, while the latter was man
who wore a collar.
in conclusion, Mr. Coulter said men
| told him, "Oh, yes, what you say is true,
but you are only a Prohibitionist; you
can't expect to win; you can't be elect
ed.''
Il say roared the speaker, Ito HI
with the man who says We can't elect.
| To HI with the patriot who turns his
| back on the enemy because they have
mere guns than he. It's time men voted
| their convictions, and we WI keep on,
and if we don't win now we may two
or four years from now"

We your Grand Jury beg to submit to
your honor the following as our final
report.
We have e~ndeayored to be faithful

condition Of the Jail building and in
mates carefully, and found every thing
in a fair condition.
The prisoners are exceptionally well
cared for, the food supply is ample and
inmates expressed their satisfaction
ever SO much.
We find the Jail floor decayei to an
extent, as to require immediate repairs;
we lave also noticed that the pump in
side the Jail requires immediate repairs.
We also noticed hat there are twenty
four window pains broken off, the sani-
tary condition of the Jail and yard is
satisfactory.
We have examined the Office Of the
Clerk of Court and found said office,
and record in an exemplary condition
and exceptionally well kept. We no
ticed that vault Of said office is not am
ply ventilated, and the actual condition
of the Vault may eventually cause per-
manent damage. Hence VIC exhurt the
Police Jury to remedy said damage.
We have also examines the office of
Sheriff and Tax Collector we found the
tax books are correctly kept and money
correctly accounted for. We visited
the Assessors office and found the work
of registering voters going in progress.
We would suggest to the POLICE Jury
that a certain per cent of the amount
paid the assessor be reserved until the
Tax collector complete the collection Of
the tax roll in order that the Parish
shall be reimbursed ON double and err
ElneouS assessments.
We visited the treasurers Office and he
handed us the within report hereto attached.
We visited the office of the supt of Public
Education and he handed US with the report
hereto attached which speaks for its sell.
We feel that we cannot conclude this re-
port without expressing our sincere feelings
of satisfaction and qualifications, in behalf
of the whole people of the Parish of Yer
million to your honor, for the able, and i'm
partial manner in which you presided as
Judge of this Parish and District. We give
vol the assurance that you nave the good
will and respect of every man and woman

petuate his noble and efficient services.
