A Competent Witness /.

Charles l.. Hutchinson, who is known
by reputation and character to every
man, woman and child in this part OF
the world, and by face to most of the
generation of Chicago that graduated
in recent years from its schools, has re-
turned from an extensive trip, which
included a visit to India.
~ wish | could send all the free sill
yer advocates to India for few
months" Mr. Hutchinson says. Ii
they found they had to receive their
pay in silver rupees they would begin
at once to hate the white metal. The
rupee was once worth go cents, but
free coinage brought it down to u
cents, where it now stands. The ma
tives hope that we will adopt free
coinage, as they can then ship us their
rupees and raw silver to be coined.
Since Americans cannot go in large
numbers to India they can find q par
allel for the rupee in the currency his
tory of their own country. So long as
we maintain the gold standard we keep
the silver dollar up to a value of 100
cents in gold Abandon the gold
standard and the silver dollar, now
worth 100 cents as legal tender, will
enter on career corresponding to that
of the Indian rupee. What that his
tory will be is perfectly Illustrated in
the variation of the commercial ratio
between silver and gold as compared
with the ratio of 16 to l, legally main
tanned by our present legal parity of
silver and gold. In 1872 the ratio COM
was 1858. In 1878 congress
passed, over a presidential veto, a law
authorizing the coinage of silver to a
value Of not less than 100000 nor
more than $4,000,O00 worth of silver to
be purchased monthly, the coin to be a
legal tender for all debts, public and
private, unless otherwise stipulated.
this and in the face of
the reiterated truth that cessation OF
unlimited coinage was the cause of the
the decline in the commercial value of
silver, the ratio fell in 1879 to 1910, in
1881 to 1916, in 1885 to 19.4l, and in
1889 to 221O. In 1892 it fell to 1872"
The gold standard now existing in
the United States maintains at ratio
of Is to l all the legal tender silver
from the United States mint. Abolish
that standard and silver will repeat in
this country the dismal story of fluc
tuation and decline, of heaviness and
inconvenience, only too familiar in
India.
The labor of the United States must,
in self defense, insist that for it's sake
the gold standard shall be maintained.

GENERAL MANSFIELD DEAD.
He Was a Kenosha County Pioneer.-He
Died in California.

He Was Kenosha County Pioneer.-He
Died in California.
On May General John Mansfield
died at his home in Los Angeles, Cal.
His passing away was sudden. On the
night before he complained of a slight
indisposition; on rising in the morning
he felt better, but soon after he gave a
gasp and expired.
For many years General Mansfield
was fully identified with the public
and private interests of Wisconsin, hav-
ing moved here at an early age from
his birthplace, Menden, Munro county,
n. Y. He lived in Kenosha, where he
practiced law and was at one time
Postmaster. Subsequently he moved
to Portage City, and remained there
until the breaking out of the civil war.
At the first rumor of war he organized
a company of the Fourth Wisconsin
Volunteers and was made captain. He
served with distinction and became q
favorite of Secretary Stant,n, who en-
trusted him with many important COM
mands. At Gettysburg he received a
severe wound and was taken prisoner,
suffering the horrors of Libby prison.
He was breveted three times for gall
lantry on the field, and during the last
year of the war Secretary Stanton put
him in command of the reserves at
Alexandria, when Washington city was
threatened by Longstreet's cavalry.
At the close of the war he declined a
commission in the standing army. pre-
ferring to resume his career in civil
life. In the seventies he went to Cali
fornia settling at Los Angeles, being
prominently identified with the public
affairs of that city up to the time of his
demise
General Mansfield occupied a very
high position in the estimation of the
public. He was selected a member of
the Constitutional convention and took
prominent part in the labors of that
body, winning added distinction. He
was nominated by the republicans as
lieutenant governor of California, with
the present United States Senator Per-
kins, as governor, and was elected,
filling the duties of that high Office
with credit to himself and to the salts
faction of his party and the people.
AS regent of the State Normal school
of Los Angeles, he served two terms,
and superintendent the construction of
the present fine building, and was a
trustee of the city library.
His wife and two sons, Charles H.,
and Russell P, survive him. A brave
soldier, distinguished statesman and
citizen has now closed long and useful
career.

The victory of life is won;
The song of triumph has begun

ACCORDING to an apparently genera

ACCORDING to an apparently general
consensus of opinion, without regard to
party politics, the dignity and effect of
Senator Teller's bolt from the st. Louis
convention, has been greatly lessened
by the persistent efforts of the popu-
lists to push Mr.. Teller forward as a
candidate for the democratic nominal
ton. Of course those who know Sena-
tor Teller's high minded devotion to
principle, do not believe for a moment
that he is taking any hand in this bust
ness. but there can be no doubt that in
giving advance notice of his intention
to do just what he did, he put it in the
power of men less high minded to make
use of him as tool to attempt to carry
out certain schemes of their own, nor
that those men are taking advantage
of their opportunity. There isn't the
slightest probability that the Gemo-
Gratis will nominate Senator Teller for
president, and he would increase the
respect with which he is generally re-
garded if he would put an end to the
game hy forbd,ling the use of his name
before that convention.

Hard Times And Free Silver.

4. There is not f1rst-class CONNER
Gaal country on earth now that has free
GsiDage.
z. There is not free silver country
QB earth that has as much as SIS per
capita in circulation-all kinds of
money.
s. There is in circulation in the
United States $24 per capita, or $3.50
moge per capita than any free silver
sDaRtry on. earth.
4. We have more in circulation today
than ever before, and more per capita
ab4n any free silver country on earth.
s. Our dollar will buy more sugar,
coffee, -four, meal, meat, medicine,
hardware and clothing than in 1873.
s. A barrel of corn, bushel ofwheat
gr 100 pounds of tobacco will buy near
by double as much of the article that
Easmers consume as the same kind of
eDgn, wheat, or tobacco would buy in
1913.
Z. The wages of the laboring man
W5ll buy double as much of the neces-
mriss of life now as in 1873, and his
wages have not been reduced one
Agsrth as much as the purchasing pow
ut his money has been increased.
All of the above propositions we as
se7t without the fear of intelligent con-
sgadictiOn. Then, if it be a fact that
DO free silver country has as much as
80 per capita; and if it be fact we
have about 1924 per capita; and if it be
fact we have more silver in circula-
8lOn per capita than any free silver
SNantry in the world; and if it be a
last that the purchasing power of our
2nllar is now about double what it was
m 1868, and that the products of the
&Gm will purchase more necessaries of
lie than in 1873, our free silver friends
B5l have to hunt further for the hard
elmes complained of. They can't
charge it to reduced circulation or to
higher prices. Galveston Neacs.

That the democratic party is, as
ssyRE, ready to do anything that will
gre 1t a chance to win, is shown by
Ezss alacrity of democrats to consider
tgysN the widest sort of a proposition
which promises to gain populists and
mzyeg republican votes. One of these
propositions which has been seriously
Bceepted by some democrats and the
sgTying out of which may even be at
seEDpted at the Chicago convention, is
Gaab a democrat be nominated for
president and a populist for vice -presi-
3Rnt, and that resolution endorsing
Senator Teller for secretary of the
Gzeasury be adopted by the convention.
and these men actually seem to think
Shat the voters of this country can be
zamboozled by such crazy quilt sort
OF an arrangement as this. They will
