John Palmer and Simon Bolivar

Ii Hung Chang is now on the Brit
ish steamer sailing for China. Lii
Hung Chang has furnished more
amusement to the American public
than has ever came from diplomat.
His sharp, pointed questions, touching
on matters of private characer, have
just caused the whole American Ma
ton, except that portion questioned,
to burst with laughter. Take for in
stance, his question to New York
millionaire, where after finding out
that he was worth many millions of
dollars, asked him how he made it.
Ii undoubtedly laughed in his sleeve
when he asked the question and the
people laughed aloud when they read
it. The millionaire, of course, evaded
the question. Still another interesting
question was that put to Grover Cleve-
land, or rather the query, as to why
he, the first man of the United States,
should not be the richest man of the
United States. It is unfortunate for
President Cleveland that Ii Hung
Chang did not probe little on the
government bond question. Had Ii
done so there would have been some
funny evasive answers, we are quite
certain.

Free Coinage at sixteen to One.

Means TINT the government would
coin, at the present ratio and free of
charge, all Of the silver and gold brought
TO it, and that it would make the silver
dollar, as now, 16 times as heavy as the
gold dollar. AT present the uncoined
gold in gold dollar is worth 100 cents,
while the uncoined silver in silver
dollar is worth only So cents. One
ounce Of gold is, Therefore, worth COM
mercially as much as 81 ounces of sill
yer. By practically exchanging the one
for the other the government has thus
far and with difficulty enabled our sill
yer dollars to pass as equal to our gold
dollars. With unlimited free coinage
the treasury department would simply
stamp "one dollar" on every 20. %
grains of gold or on every 81 ID grains
of silver brought to it and would hand
the dollar, or a gold or silver certificate.
back to the owner. The government
would not then, as at present, be under
obligations to maintain parity between
gold and silver dollars, and each silver
dollar would pass for what the metal in
it was worth.
If, as Bland and Bryan declare, the
price of silver bullion would rise so
that 16 ounces of silver would be worth
/ of gold, then, though it would add
hundreds of millions to the value of sill
yer mines, free coinage would not work
injustice as between creditors and debt
ors AS, however, gold will certainly
go to premium" of nearly 200, free
coinage will enable the debt of this
country, one-half of which is owed by
railroads and other great corporations,
to be paid in dollars worth about half Of
our present dollars Itwould rob credit
ors, mostly savings bank depositors, and
members of building and loan associa-
tons and Of other similar corporation
organizations, Of half of their hard
earned savings; it would reduce by one
half the value of all insurance policies,
and Of all pensions; it would greatly re-
duce wages and salaries, for prices
would nearly double at once, while
wages would rise but slowly, ard often
only after long strikes and lockcuts; it
would, in fact, take billions of property
from the comparatively poor and give it
to the comparatively rich and would
revolutionize our finances and unsettle
our industry until without prospect Of
permanent gain, we should settle down
ON a silver basis with Mexico, China
and other half civilized countries.

Ere baffled winter. at fair springs first nod,
His weakened forces northward home hath
led,
While remnant drifts about our path are
spread,
The crocus bursts the bondage Of the sod,
And, 10, where late among the snow we trod
The blossom sunward lifts its dainty head,
White, purple, gold, along the garden bed,
To catch the first warm glances Of its god.
Thus, In some gloomy season Of the heart.
When sorrow all our Joy hath overspread
And ev'ry voice seems but to make us sad
New hopes arise ere pain can all depart;
We fling aside the discomfort and dread
And go our way with faces bright and glad

Cheap money and high prices. Wages
paid in cheap money and products sold
at high prices in cheap money That is
the Bryan scheme in nutshell. Japan,
for instance. is working on the silver
plan and makes it go in the only way
it can go, by paying small wages in sill
yer and thus competing successfully
with countries where wages are both
higher and paid in money whose value
is fixed according to the gold standard.
The whole Bryan scheme depends on
cheap money, high prices and low silver
wages. There is nothing else in it

How the silver Mine owner Would Profit
Under Free Coinage.

How the Silver Mine Owner Would FRONT
Under Free Coinage.
Because the believers in free coinage
could not possibly increase the CONNER
cial value of the silver III coin stamped
lone dollar the silverites gleefully
ask "What then becomes CT your state
ment that free silver will benefit the
silver mine owner? If the value Of sill
yer bullion is not raised, how will the
man who produces 1t profit by free coin
age?''
There is no Inconsistency in the asser-
tions that the value of silver will be no
greater under free coinage than it is
now and that the effect of such free
coinage will be to benefit the owners OF
silver mines. The discussion on this
point arises from the silverite confusion
of value with price Nobody denies that
the government can by calling 37lR
grains Of silver one dollar and making
II bv law the measure of values raise
the "price" Of silver bullion to %l.29
an ounce But this is very different
from raising its value. The value de-
ponds on the ratio in which it will ex
change for other labor products, and
this ratio will not be affected by any
thing which the government may do,
Congress might declare that 81 Is grains
of silver should be dollar, and this
would make the price of an ounce of sill
yer $12. 80. Does any one believe that
that would be its value2
Where the silver mine owners profits
would come III would be in the lower
wages which he would pay for his labor
through the Iessened value Of the dollar
III which wages are paid. Suppose that
the average rate of wages in the silver
mining industry is now So. 80 per day.
Under free coinage this $3.50 would
have purchasing power Of only 81. rs.
This is what the silver advocates mean
when they tell the farmers that, meas
ured in silver dollars, prices of all kinds
of goods would be doubled. The mine
owner would, in other words, receive a
nominal price of $1.29 an ounce for sill
yer which he now sells for So cents an
ounce. But he would not double the
wages Of his miners, who would find
themselves paying twice as much for
everything they bought. OF course they
would ask for more pay, and If labor
was scarce they would probably secure
an advance in wages, but it is certain
that they would not get 81 per day.
Here is the milk in the cocoanut for
the silver mine owners. Their expenses
are nearly all for labor, as, unlike a
manufacturing industry, they do not
buy raw materials. They know very
well that while the price of their prod
net would at once be doubled by free
coinage they could not be compelled to
pay twice as much wages. SO they
would make all the profit represented
by the difference between 81 per day
and the wages that they actually paid.
This would be fine thing for the mine
owners Perhaps the workers who would
have to work for less (real) wages may
think it would not be so fine for them.

Estate of Maria McAnanama May Yet
Have an Owner

When Maria McAnanama died In this
city i'll November, 1898, she left small
sum OF money amounting TO ST 80 deposited
i'll banks. II was understood, however. that
she was prospective heir to a 'arge estate
that would some day be left by her brother,
who went 10 Australia forty years ago
Michael j Colbert was appointed ad-
minisrator in due time, but it was i'm
possible TO find any heirs-at-law District
Attorney Birney then made application that
the money revert TO the Treasury OF the
United States.
Since then Mr. Colbert believes he has
discovered the heirs OF the deceased, and
yesterday he asked the court TO make no
disposition OF the property until lie can
secure further evidence of their identity.
The supposed heirs are cousins of the
deceased, and live in Wicklow county, Ire
land. The family broke up nearly fifty
years ago, some OF the children coming TO
