Closing a Gap In the Coast Road.

SANTA BARBARA. CAL, Feb 49,
Beginning with Sunday. the 22d of
February, the Southern Pacific will COM
mence to run through trains from here to
Elwood, connecting with stages running

the coast road.
This news is hailed with delight, for
while it is not probable that Santa Bar

as regards transportation between here and
San Francisco, the movement seems to
indicate serious purpose on the part OF
the railroad company to complete build

How Condition. Have Changed.

There is such thing as laying too
much stress upon fact that existed at
me time, without reference to the con.
iitions under which it existed. And
hat is Just what the free silver men
IRE doing. From 1856 TO 1860, for in
,tancc, the silver dollar was admitted
o free coinage, at the ratio of l6 to !.
without causing any arrangement Of
mr finances. but it docs not by any
means follow that the same thing could
De done now. From 1856 to 1860 tho
.verage annual product OF gold in the
world was q, 4s6, ZOE ounces and of silver
.9,O95, 42S ounces, or 4.4S ounces OF sill
Yer to one of gold. In 1892 the gold
product of the world was 1902, $50
ounces and the silver product was
.53,l51,762 ounces, or 2l.+7 times as
many ounces of silver rs of gold. And
;he disparity is nearly as great now rs
was then. Besides that in the
,ormer period all European countries
we're coming silver as standard money.
Now they are not.
Arguing from the first and previous
,criods to the present, without taking
INTO account these changed conditions

MASSES AND CLASSES.
,ome OF the Classes that Free silver Coin
age Would lnjure.

some of the Classes that Free silver Coin
age Would Injurc.
One Of the demogogic appeals which
Candidate bryan makes in his speeches
S a play upon the catch words, 1.-The
.lasscs and the masses" trying to array
Inc latter against the former. BY the
classes nc means the bankers. stock
ipcculators and the like, and tho inn
preston lie seeks to convey is that
.hcsc arc tho only ones who profit by
maintaining the present standard.
i,ut let us sec who some of the
CLASSES" are that arc interested in the
same direction.
I. The pensioners. These number
nearly $50, 900, and the amounts paid
hem reach $I40, 000,O0 IA year. One
u the arguments used in the advocacy
IF tho coinage Of silver ut a ratio of
i6 to /, is that IL would raise prices.
But what advantage would it be to the
pcnsioncr, who barely makes "a living
oy tho aid of a pension of Sc, $40 or Sl2
l month, TO have the price of every
hing he buys doubled, while his pen
sion remains the same?
2. Savings bank depositors. In 1so4-5
these numbered 1875, 900 with deposits
iggrcgating about $1,000, 100000. A
large proportion of them arc working
people, and many others are widows and
maiden ladies who depend upon the in
come from their deposits for an APP
probable portion OF their living. They
rp,eiyts from z In q per cent nor n N m IN
interest on their deposits. Under free
silver coinage the prices of what they
buy might be doubled, but the interest
they receive would remain the same.
g. Shareholders in building and loan
associations. These number 1000, 900
with holdings OF 500, OOO, 900.
4. Insurance bcncfciaries The last
census shows that the people of this
country had insured their lives to the
amount of $500, OOO, 900. None of
these classes would receive any more
dollars under free coinage of silver
than they do now, and the dollars
would only purchase half as much.
5. Mechanics and common laborers.
All past experience shows that wages,
undei !; dcbascd currency, do not in
crease as rapidly as prices. From 1850
to 1868 80 per cent paper dollar
raised prices nc per cent, and wages
only 43 per cent.
These are few of the 'classcs" that
would be hit hard by the scheme TO
raise prices, while incomes remain the
same or only slightly advanced.

One occasionally hears sneers ut cor
ain candidates who announce them
elves AS bimetalists, and at the same
ime give their assent to the terms OF
he ST. Louis platform; yet the st.
louis platform is practically much
carer true bimctalism than the Chi
ago platform. In the conception Of
rue bimctalism three distinct notions
re involved. They are AS follows:
I. In order that a monetary system
hall be truly bimetallic, silver and
old coin must both circulate rs money.
g. They must circulate at par with
ach other.
8. The parity between them must be
cal and not artificial. II must be due
o an equality in commercial value be-
wecn the silver contained in a silver
Iollar and the gold contained in gold
lollar.
The free coinage of silver, at tho
alto of l6 TO I, would fulfill none Of
hesc conditions. The pretense, even,
hat gold and silver would circulate to-
,cther ut that ratio has been aban-
Toned by nearly all the candid and in
clligent advocates of such coinage.
hey defend the course ON different
rounds. They concedc, as every we'll
informed political economist must do,
hat under the policy advocated gold
would cease TO circulate, silver would
SC the only redemption money, and
,rices would adjust themselves accord
ngly. We should have silver mono
nctalism. =
The Republican party proposes to
continue tho present modified bimetal-
SIN, by fulfilling the first two condi-
ions mentioned above. 1t proposes
hat silver and gold shall both circu-
ate as money, and that silver shall be,
Is 1t is now, a full legal tender for all
lcbts, and that it shall be maintained
1t par with gold.
| 1t docs not believe that CONNER
.ial equality can DC maintained be-
wccn the two, at ratio of l6 to l, by
his country alone, but il proposes by
International agreement, TO establish
/ coinage ratio which will make the
ilvcr dollar equal to the gold dollar in
commercial value, the world over.
II we arc to change our system ut all
he choice is confined to just two alter
natives:
| l. Silver monomctalism, which the
riumph of the free coinage plan would
BRING
2. A change from the present limited
md modified bimctalism TO bimc talism
rue and complete as the Republicans
Ultimately propose.
