THE BOILERS APPEAL.
foolish Reasons 0ivcn for Their Action
by the BoIting Silver Republicans.

Foolish Reasons Hivcn for Their Action
by the Bolting silver Republicans.
AT a secret conference OF the boiling
silver delegates to the st. Louis conveA-
ton an address to the people Of the
United States was agreed upon and
given to the press. This declaration Of
free coinage doctrine was prepared
after careful consideration by Senator'S
Teller, Dubois and Cannon and other
silver leaders and may therefore be
held to embody the strongest argu-
ments which can be found in favor OF
the silver standard.
The grounds on which Senator Teller
and his associates ask for support are
the assertions that "the basis of our
money is relatively contracting;" that
''our financial policy is dictated by cred
jtor nations;" that 1--WE produce all the
necessaries Of life,while other nations
consume our products;" that "the res
toration Of bimetallism by this coun-
try will double the basis Of our money
SYSTEM" that failing prices are the
deadliest curse of national life," and
that "bimetallism will help to bring
about the great hope of every social re-
former" of better conditions for the
human race. On this platform the
voters nominated Senator Teller as an
independent free coinage candidate for
president.
These claims of the silver republicans
are all untrue. Instead Of contracting,
the basis of our currency is steadily in
creasing. The production Of gold is
now about 5000, 100000 per year, and Of
this over s13O,OOo,OOO is added to the
worlds stock Of money. Our stock Of
full legal tender silver has increased

testify to it's ''soundness and safety
Is that the kind of money the American
people want?
II will be somewhat difficult to secure
the repeal of "the legislation which de-
monetized silver and reduced it to the
basis of token money" since there -
no such legislation on the statue
books. What the Sucker state imam
ciers referred to was probably the iesls-
lation which since 1873 has given us
$3.50, 900, 900 of full legal tender silver
money, not one dollar of which is token
money, and $75,OOo,O0o of subsidiary
coinage. As there was not $oOoOo'OV'

Our present financial policy was de-
liberately adopted by the representa-
tiyes of the American people in congress
assembled. The charge that it was die
tated by foreign nations is an unfound-
ed imputation on the men chosen to
make our laws.
The idea that this is a country of pro-
ducers while other nations are con-
sumers only is too silly for argument.
For every dollars worth of products we
sell abroad we buy back at some time q
dollars worth of foreign products,
which we consume. We consume in the
long run exactly as much as we pro.
duce.
The claim that "bimetallism," by
which is meant free coinage at sixteen
to one, will double the basis of our mon
ey system is not believed by the silver
ties themselves. They know better, for
they know that with the bullion value
of silver at thirty to one, the cheaper
metal would drive out the more valua-
BILE. Thus, instead of doubling the basis
of our money, free silver monometallism
would cut it in two by forcing gold out
of circulation.
Falling prices are due almost entire
Nv to improved methods of production
by which labor on the farm or in the
workshop can create wealth more
easily than in former years. This
means that the masses can get
more of the necessaries and Injuries
of life, and it is therefore a great
blessing, and not curse. Other rea-
sons for falling prices are the new
sources of production opened up in
various parts of the world in recent
years. The gold standard has had
nothing TO do with the lower prices.
The claim that "bimetallism (siIver
monometallism) will bring about the
great hope of every social reformer"
would be more convincing if it were ac-
companied by information as to how 1t
would do it. In the absence of proof
general promises of better conditions
under free silver are altogether
too vague for sensible men to take risks
on. A policy which depends on baseIess
assertions and positive perversion of
facts can never gain the support of a
majority of the American people, and
the movement headed by Senator Tel
Ter In therefore doomed to failure.

AN ORANGE HUMMOCK.
BY HARRIET P. sPoFFoRD.

Julian could hardly remember the
fine old times before the war, although
it could not be said to be the fault of
his mother and his elder sisters, or of
old Nanny Dnah, all of whom kept the
legends of those times pretty constant
Nv before his eyes and ears. The splen-
dor. the company, the feasts, the slaves,
ali seemed to him the veriest idle story
beside the fact of unyarying corn bread
and bacon now.
The house was tumbling to pieces;
he wondered if there was a worse ruin
in all Florida; the almost boundless ex-
tent of the lands was uncultivated; the
slaves were all gone.
II don't see why we should be poor" "
said Julian, having made up his mind
for good square talk at last, with all
the land there is here"
"That's half the reason" said his IA
ther.
"But thought that it was off the land
people made their money"
when they already have money and
the hands with which to cultivate land.
1t takes hands and it takes means to
grow cotton and sugar. l can hardly
be expected to go to work myself"
"Then,' persisted Julian, why
couldn't we hire people, and pay them
from the crop when it comes?"
"You don't know what you are talk
ing about, my son."
II know we have hundreds of acres of
land, and if they were mine, l think
that could do something with them"
You may do what you please with
Them" said his father. II give you
carte blanche" and he went back to the
reading of his Congressional Record.
Or at least he would have gone back, if
Julian would have let him. But Julian
had not begun to talk without being
very much i'll earnest, and now he meant
to go through.
"Well," he said, laughing, carte
blanche is good thing to have, but one
needs some help to do anything with
even that. l think if you will let me

4 BALLAD OF THE OLD DAYS.

You talk about your two-wheeled steed
With patent rubber tires
And shiny spokes and padded seats.
That all the world admires;
y But remember well time
! When three wheels met my need;
And, say! caught the public with
My old velocipede.
When Skinny Watts billy goat
His masters Joy and pride
Came drawing Skinny down the street.
I'd wheel up to his side;
And would say, says I: ''My boy.
Your goat Is gettin' DID,"
Says Skinny: .He can beat your rig
; For marbles. chalk or gold"
Gee whillikensi the fun we had!-
And how that goat did race,
While Skinny's coat tails tapped TIM

with fast and ever faster tread
pushed the pedals round:
My breath it came and went so hard
/ heard no other sound.
with many an anxious glance ahead
Along the rutty track.
MY rivals reinsman piled his whip
Upon his racers back.
First I would gain, and then the gont,
Inspired by Skinnys whacks,
Would shake me Off as II had
Been anchored in my tracks.
AS we approached the finish line.
Where, packed in triple ranks,
The people Stood my wheels were close
Beside the billy's tanks.
Determined now to do or die,
I summoned all my strength,
And, though the billy did his best
/ led him home a length.
The goat has gone unto his rest
mind the day he died
And how we youngsters buried him.
And how we softly cried:
And how poor Skinnys heart was sore
For many and many day,
With thinking of his trusty pet
That death had led away.
But time, that gives, doth also heal
The wounds he wanton makes,
And Skinny-beg your pardon. Judge
Now drives in stylish brakes;
While I, as in those halcyon days,
The silent steed best like,
Wherefore my old velocipede
Was followed by bike.

CRISIS NEAR At HAND
Province Of Havana Swarm
ing With Insurgents.
THEY ARE DOING MUCH DAMAGE
Large Forces OF Spanish Troops Hurry
ing to Meet Them--MaceO Com
mands the Rebels.

KEY WEST, March 30.-(Sent from
Havana March 2S to avoid press censor
ship. thousand insurgents
under General Maceo are swarming over
the provinces of Havana and Pinar del
Rio destroying property, ripping up rail
ways and tearing down telegraph lines.
Forty-five Thousand Spanish soldiers are
in the same territory, and more are
coming.
General Maceo is in Immediate COM
mand of the center column of rebels
with about 1900 men. General Maceo
is in the southern part of Havana with
about 5000, and General La Crete is
lowering about the outskirts of Havana
with about 6,e00 cavalry. The other
1000 men are divided into small bands
of plllagers. The insurgents are we'll
equipped and have plenty of ammuni-
ton, and are capable of giving the
soldiers warm reception.
The activity noticeable about the
palace of General Weyler seems to bear
out the idea that a crisis is near at hand.

are understood to be the absolute sur
render of all arms, the payment of all
war expenses and the surrender of the
leaders for trial. The insurgents not
only refused to accept these terms, but
demanded that President Zelaya turn
over to them the government of Nicara-
qua. Consequently the war will be con-
tinued with renewed bitterness on both
sides.
There is great excitement here. Steps
are being taken to reinforce the troops
at the front and begin an advance on
Leon as soon as much-needed supplies
of ammunition reach the government
forces. The government is said to be
hard pressed for funds as well as ammu-
milton, which facts are not unknown to
the Leonists, who are understood to be
receiving secret support from Guatemala
and other sources, which may result in
complications likely to cause general
war throughout Central America.
1t is suggested this is good oppertu-
nifty for Intervention upon the part of
the United States with a view to bring
ing about peaceful settlement of the
question in dispute, as conflict involv-
ing all of the Central American republics
would put a serious check upon business
and the development of the natural re-
sources of Central America.

sUICIDED BY SHOOTING.
Max Friendly, a Liquor Merchant, Gives
Way to Dependency

Max Friendly, Liquor Merchant, Gives
Way to Dependency
PORTLAND, March 3O.-At o'clock
dealer, on Morrison street, near Fifth,
committed suicide by shooting himself
in the head. The deed was made in a
yard in the rear of his store, and the re-
port of the pistol at once urew a large
crowd of people to the spot. The uncon-
scious man with leaden messenger of
death in his skull, was carried into his
store, and few moments later DIR. Gill
lespie was at his side. After working
with the man about 10 minutes the sur.
geon believed that there was chance
for saving Mr.. Friendly's life, but he
soon after died.
During the midst of the excitement
one of the unfortunate mans daughters
rushed in, and throwing her elf upon
the PROSTATE form of her father, she be-
walled the negligence of some friends in
not having closer looked after her father,
who had been in an unsettled frame OF
mind all day.
The cause of this act is said to have
been financial troub BILE; hut Mr.. Friend
ly did not leave scratch of pen in
forming his family or other friends of
the cause of his rash act.
His daughter, few moments before
the tragedy, asked friend, Mr.. F. A.
Insley, to look after her father las he was
not feeling we'll. A short time there
after Mr.. Friendly walked to closet in
the yard, in the rear of his store. Then
he drew pistol and shot himself in the
right temple. Mr.. Insley claims that
he passed out af the store, but that the
act was so quickly done that he had no
opportunity to prevent it. The weapon
was picked up about five feet distant
from where Mr.. Friendly fell. In the
fall the unfortunate man also broke his
right leg. The remains were taken to
the norgue.
