RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS
Found in Eastern Kentucky no Free Silver
Republicans, but Many Sound
Money Democrats.

The Capital says: Secretary
Brown returned from a weeks trip
with the Railroad Commission and
says that through their entire trip
at each town visited they felt the
political pulse and found the tide
rapidly running toward sound
money. They did not hear sim
gle Republican say he would vote
for Bryan, but in every place heard
Democrats say they would vote for
sound money. MIR. Brown thinks
the friends OF the gold standard
are making common cause in the
fight, and will vote for the man
when election comes who is sure
to defeat debased currency. He
says that the sound money men
are happy that Bryan has been
seen and heard, as the reality is
not near SO dangerous as the anti
cipation. Mr.. Brown wound up
by saying; "My guess is so, 600
for sound money in Ken

rIexican Prosperity.

The free silver papers are pub
fishing with great big head lines the
story of one James II. Kennedy
who swears he has lived in Mexi.
co for rs years and knows that the
standard silver rdollar OF the United
States will not buy two silver Mex
lean dollars in Mexico-that Mexi-
co is making strides of advance
ment greater than any other nation
on earth-that the national debt
is payable in silver--that silver
bullion has never huctuated up or
down two cents in $50 years.
Now, this man Kennedy is a
most refreshing liar and it would be
absurd to notice his statements, but
for the fact that they are in line
with the usual arguments OF free
silver papers.
Every intelligent man knows
that 81 standard dollars of the
United States will buy his day in
Mexico 100 Mexican silver dollars.
While the manufacturer in Mex
leo is prosperous, his employees
live in huts, sleep on dirt floors,
live on corn meal and beans, with
meat perhaps twice month. The
meanest farm hand in the cotton
fields of the South lives like a
prince when compared with the
Mexican laborer.
Jose Ives Limantour, Mexican
minister Of finance, states that
Mexico owes gold bond debt of
$500, 900, 900, with annual interest
charges OF SO, 900, 600 in gold. He
says, furthermore, that it takes SI2,
600, 600 in Mexican silver to buy
annually this gold interest.
Silver bullion fuctuates every
day in Mexico and has deprecated
in 20 years nearly so per cent.
Mexico has silver as we'll as gold
bonds. In June last Mr.. George
Boulten, of Chicago, bought in the
city of Mexico $50, 100 of bonds
ssued by the Mexican government.
The price he paid was about 48
cents on the dollar, Mexican silver,
lmounting to 24,I7o Mexican sill
yer dollars for the entire amount
If bonds. AS the money for the
ponds came from the United States
{ took Just SI3, 3,oI2II in American
silver dollars to pay for the entire
$50, 900 bonds. And this man
Kennedy would have sensible peo-
Die believe that Mexico is prosper
,us.

What Gold Imports rIean.

What causes the present influx
of gold to this country is a matter
of inquiry. 1t is believed to be in
consequence of several influences,
working independently, conducting
to the same end. One very i'm
portant factor is the expectation
of cotton and wheat. That brings
either gold or our securities. Gold
is coming instead of stocks and
bonds because it cannot be en-
ployed to bring as much interest as
the securities pay even when they
are at premium. Gold standard
countries all have cheaper money,
that is, lower Interest rate, than
silver standard nations. Money is
cheap or dear according TO the
price paid for the use of it.
Another reason is that the peo-
pie are economizing. Merchants
are not importing as much because
the demand has fallen off. Busi-
ness is dull; less amount of wages
is paid and less amount OF every
thing is consumed both foreign and
domestic. The people have less
income and are trying to live within.
IT.
Athird reason is that as the cam
vass progresses the danger OF the
success OF the Psuedo- Democracy
grows less and less, and with the
threat of repudiation removed,
money lying idle in Europe is com
ng over for investment.

Dollars and Nonsense.

No other paper, except the Mail
has exposed such asinine stupidity
as to assert that the government
would stand behind and assure the
full face value OF free coined silver.
The mere idea that when a man
would collect has old spoons and
take them with his old teapot to
the mint and have the lot coined
into silver dollars that the govern.
ment would guarantee them
to be full value and assume the
task OF maintaining its parity with
gold is an expression OF mental
weakness not often found outside

"How can the mnc owner make
profit by free coinage and tho
people be defrauded by the same
dollara" the free silver orators
ask, ltis very easy to see how.
The best equipped silver mines
produce the metal at cost, vary.
ing from 80 to so cents per ounce.
AT the present price of 65 cents for
bullion they are making on the
maximum cost only 80 per cent. If
they were able to have it coined
at its market value into coin which
had legal tender value of 700
cents for an intrinsic value of so
cents, they could make an addi-
tional profit on all they could pay
out for wages or any Indebtedness.
They would also have their bullion
converted by the government free
of charge into convenenient form
for valueing and shipping even
though they derived but little more
gold for it than they now receive
for it.
On the other hand, the wage earn
er who would have to take 1t for his |
labor could only pass it for its bull
lion value, because its fctlchous
value would be added from time to
time as it deprecated, 20 everything
he would have TO buy. If it were
worth but SO cents, and he wanted
a barrel of flour, he would find four
dollar flour would be advanced to
eight dollars to get even with the
fictitious value of the silver coin he
proposed to pay for it.

Leadvlllc Riots and Loss Of Innocent
Lile-Tbe Masses" Against

LEADvlLLE, Col, Sept 2r.-This
morning at o'clock the Coronado
mines with all its expensive ma
chinery was blown up by dynamite
at the hands OF strikers after every
one thought the long strike was
settled. The strike has been on
for three months and the Carbon
ate camp has, during that'time,
been veritable volcano. Last
night the citizens of Leadville
went to bed with a feeling OF Sc.
curity for the first time in three
months, only to be awakened by a
frightful explosion which shook
buildings to their foundations. A
fusillade OF rifle shots followed in
stantly, the flames glared from the
Coronado plant and the fire bells
changed, bringing crowds OF cili.
zens TO the streets. The mob re-
sisted the efforts oil the FIRE de-
partment to quench the flames,
fred into them and as Jerry
O'Keefe, plug man of the hose
company, was turning on the water
he was murdered by a shot from
behind.
Attempts were made by the mob
on other mines, but they were re-
pulsed. This dastardly work has
destroyed much of the public sym
pathy for the strikers. 1t seemed
like a big plot to destroy property
worth millions regardless OF sacri-
fee of life.
