CADsOA FORESTS FATE.
No Longer Any Doubt that the Yes
sci was Wrecked

Vancouver, 3. G.. May 1s.-At last
some definite news has been received as
to the fate of the British bark, Cadsoa
Forest, which has been missing for so
long and which had been given up for
lost. From news received yesterday it
appears that the fears that the vessel
was wrecked were only too well
founded. It viii be remembered that
the vessel was last seen off the mouth
of the Columbia river having come up
from San Francisco to load grain for
Portland. Owing to the storm. she was
blown out to sea and never again heard

TO OPPOSE rARsNEY.
Dennis Flynn and Possibly the Mis-

From our Special Correspondent.
Washington. May 18.-Delegate Den

efforts to defeat the confirmation of
John G. Tarnsey of Kansas City, as as
sociate justice Of the supreme court Of
Oklahoma
He does 50 on the ground that the
appointment should have been made
from the territory itself, and that it is
offensive to the people of the territory
to have outsiders lugged in to be placed
in their offices.
Tt is not impossible that the Missouri
senators viii oppose Tarsney's Confir-
nation Ever since Tarsney changed
from a silver man to a Cleveland gold
bug he has said many unpleasant
things about the Missouri senators on
account of their financial views, and
they may conclude to even up with
him
The fact that Mr.. Tarsney's appoint
ment is plainly a reward by Cleveland
for his desertiOn Of the silver cause,
lends probability to such action on the
part of the Missouri senators.
Neither of them has any love for
President Cleveland, who has snubbed
them because Of their silver sentiments
and they may decide to prevent confir-
nation. The president has consulted
Tarsney and favored him ever since he
changed his financial views to the gold
standard and when Tarsney lost his
seat in the house, it was known that he
would be consOled by the administra-

The situation in Ohio is alarming to
the Republican leaders, as they are b.
ginning to realize that the rural dis
tricts are honey -combed with the free
coinage, free silver sentiment. AS
elsewhere, the farmers are largely in
debt, and they think they see the
cause of it in the present basis of
money values and the remedy for Is in
the free silver movement in which
they are asked to join. With the
farmers of Ohio it seems now that the
main question will be that of coinage
The strength of the free silver party
can only be felt by going into the
country. There is its center and
strength. The most discouragiug sign
to the sound money advocates in this
state is the temper of the farmers.

ment 1t makes them mad to receive
sound money literature. They call it

ION.

Perhaps the most curious featur e of
the pending campaign is the utter un
consciousness of Bryan's strength tina t
| is displayed at the east. The eastern
papers exult over McKinley's victory
as if it had been already won. The
:'Sun" and other papers which at the
beginning of the campaign declared
war upon free coinage of silver, are
now so easy in their minds that they
treat Bryan and his speeches in a
sportive vein and make fun of the
Democratic prospects. Yet if they
looked around them in their own ALI
wick they would see grounds for talk
ing very different view of the pro-
bable outcome
The rich men in New York, the
managers of trusts and syndicates,
are all in favor of Mckinley, and with
them the wish is SO firmly the father
of the thought that they cannot con-
ceive any one harboring doubts on the
subject. Yet by their side, within
reach of their ears, the great mass of
the workingmen, who are to the pluto
Gratis as twenty to one, are all sup
portcrs of Bryan. They flock to hear
him when he speaks, mob him when
ever he appears in public, give him re-
ceptions which no public man has re-
eeived in his generation The only
newspaper which they read is the
Journal which alone of the metro
politan press expresses their views
Such consensus of opinion among
those who constitute an overwhelm-
ing majority of voters, ought to suggest
to the Wall-street magnates that there
are two sides to the question of the
election, but it seems it does not

Wall street had no use for Mr. Lincoln
until the Civil War was over and the

Gratis, who, as Mr., Bryan says, propose
to run this Government through

the idea of the free coinage of silver.
and do not realize that there may be
supporters of that idea who are more
numerous and not less intelligent than
themselves. The scope of their vision
is bounded by the walls of their count
ghouses. They measure public ques-
tions with their yard stick. And when
they are told that there is greet

pied by as good citizens as they are,

''While hold to the absolute and

In an interview with staff cores

press, John j. Ingalls, gave utterauce
to the following:
II am inclined to believe that times
are as hard today as at any time since
the decline began. There has never
been season in Kansas when farm
products were SO little sought after,
and the sales and exchanges of trade
SO few. Rents have declined, incomes
have diminished, and wages remain
unsatisfactory and inadequate to the
masses. Every thing in fact has
shrunk except debts and taxes. They
alone have tendency; to higher
figures. Nobody is thriving now ex-
cept the dealers in money-the syndi-
Gates and men who deal in securities
and other evidences of debt. Nor do
perceive ahead of us any well defined
or radical changes for the better. If
confined in this country alone, it
might be susceptible of explanat ton
on political basis. but an eqoch of
depression, dependency and failing
industries appear to prevail in all
parts of the civilized world, The con-
traction of the circulating medium of
the great nations by the destruction
of the money functions of silver is to
my mind, the chief cause. 1 can see

does that strike the men and women
who make the clothing and those who
produce the food? Cheap clothing and
cheap food make cheap labor that pro-
duces them. This is what the dear
dollar means. This is what the gold
standard means. 1t is all right for the
men who have the dollars, but it is
tough on the people who have to sell
clothing and food to get the dollars.

The fall in the value of silver as
measured by gold is due to a decreased
demand made by it's demonstration,
and not, as the oddities declare, by its
increased supply. The increase of the
output of gold for the past five years
has exceeded that OF silver. yet it has
not been sufficient to meet the demand
made by law declaring it to be the
sole standard of payment of debts.
