There is not a flaw in the object lesson
taught by the Mexican dollar plus so
cents worth of merchandise. We are on
the gold basis now, and the government
value to the present standard American
dollar, both in Mexico and In the United
States. Abolish the gold standard, take
away the government credit on the gold
standard, and you will have in every sill
yer dollar exactly the purchasing power
of the fine silver 1t contains. 1t makes
and will make no difference whose stamp
Is on 1t. The boy orator. may dub So
cents worth of silver dollar, but that
will not compel anybody to give up 100
cents worth of anything In exchange for
his dub. The moment we go ON free
silver basis. it will take two American
dollars to buy what one buys now. If
we halve our dollars we double our prices
always except for wages. They will
stay where they are: but labor will have
to take half dollar then where 1t earns
one dollar worth 100 cents now.

WILLIAM MCKINLEY.
Philadelphia Press.

Mr.. Bryan's speeches from Lincoln to
New York have each and all been pub
lished in the Press. We trust all our
readers, and particularly those who are
thinking of voting for him, have read
them. They tell their own story of loose
thinking. clap-trap appeal and jaunty ref
erence to the solemn responsibility of the
president as "a hired man." The real
issue is whether If Bryan succeeds, 5000. 900
people with saving bank deposits, 100000
with building association shares and 49,
O00, 600 with life insurance policies will find
the dollar they paid in on a gold value
coming back to them in dollars as val
uable This Is the rub of the campaign.
VIII they or will they not? How much
light has Mr.. Bryan thrown on this issue
by nearly three-score speeches?

All these forms of money have been
maintained by the government on a par
with gold, and they travel the circle of the
world without diminution of their purchas-
Ing power. Though silver bullion has fallen
to nearly one-half its former value, yet
we have used it and maintained silver coin
made from it at parity with gold at the
ratio Of 16 to 1.
But we are now brought face to face
with proposition which If agreed to will
make silver the sole standard of value for
all debts and credits, for the wages of la
Dor and the purchase and sale of property
The democratic party at its recent conven-
tfon at Chicago adopted resolution in ia
vor OF the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 parts of silver to / of gold We
know that in the United States and in all
countries in the world 80 ounces or more
OF silver can be purchased by one ounce
OF gold. With the free coinage of silver,
gold will be demonetized.
Nothing can be more certain than that
the cheaper money only will circulate. The
United States has thus far maintained its
silver coins at parity with gold coins only
by its exclusive monopoly of coinage and
by limiting the amount, but with free coin
age of silver there could be no limitation.
Silver bullion in every form will be pressed
upon the mints and with the mandatory
duty of free coinage, silver dollars will
soon fill the channels of circulation and the
gold dollar will be boarded or will be quoted
and sold as commodity at about 1874 cents
of the silver coin. Silver will stand as the
par of value and gold will be quoted at its
commercial value.

Bryan, which means cheap money, cheap
labor and no protection, is one of the
mysteries of the age.
''Why, 10 years ago, when the present
mayor of Portland was making the first
Eight of his ife'' to prevent the immi-
grafton of Chinese, that distinguished
gentleman insisted that the way to pro-
tect our labor was to keep our 1aborers as
far above the .'hordes of Asia as pos
sible, and to fight till the, last armed
foe expired" to expel the conditions
which enabled them to work so cheaply,
but now the same eminent authority
declares the way to compete is to COM
pete: and insists that the best thing we
can do is to at once drop to the level of
the fheathen Chinee'' and beat him at
his own game.
This could have been done 10 years
ago by advising our workingmen to adopt
the Chinese standard of living; that
would have settled it without any further
trouble. A steady diet then of rats and
rice would have enabled our workingmen
to compete in the markets of theworld,
much as free silver would now, and
should have heen advocated for the sake
of consistency, if for ne other reason.
The Is to advocates may "fool part
of the people," but it surely will not be
the workingmen. The effort to fool the
farmers is based on the old threadbare
statement that the price of agricultural
products is governed by the amount of
money in circulation. Even if this were
true, it would be an argument against
free coinage, for that would be surely
followed by contraction of the currency,
and, therefore, less money upon which to
base prices.

SANK WITHOUT WARNING

DFumDond Castle PAssengefS Had No
Time to save Themselves
BEEsT, June 2o-The man named
Goodbolt who survived the disaster to
the Drummond Cast lie was the quarter
master of the ship. In an interview
upon the causes of the disaster and
his experience, he said: IL was on
duty at the time. A few minutes be-
fore the shock q drizzling rain had
commenced to fall and tine atmosphere
was thick and muggy. But it was not
foggy. The sea was not rough, but
there was long swell. No lights
were visible in any direction.
THE children on the ship had gone
to bed. but there were a number of
passengers on deck. The vessel was
going at q rate Of fourteen krots an
hour, whom suddenly with, absolutely
no preliminary warning there was .
terrible crash.
1.-THE captain, who was'on the bridge
with the third officer when the ship
struck, Immediately orde d all hands
to the boats. All of the passengers
rushed on deck. many of them only
half clad and in a panic-stricken con-
dition. The steamer was now listed
so heavily that although the crew be-
haved admirably and took up their
stations, it was impossible to do any
thing. A heartrendingc cry arose from
those on board when they realized
that they were doomed. The Drum
mond Castle sank beneath our feet
with all on board about two minutes
after she struck.
Il found myself in the water and
seized floating plank which l had
seen. l then saw the other survivor,
Wood, who was clinging to small
spar. We joined our efforts in the
collection of other spars and thus
made rough sort of raft On this we
were butfeted about by the waves till
morning, when we perceived fishing
boat not far from us l waved my
car. which was seen, and we were
soon picked up"
Wood. the other survivor, said that
he was in the forecastle when he felt
the crash. and he just had time to
rush to his post at one of the boats
when the ship sank
