It is no trouble and is safe so long as
governments are strong and the peo-
pie are gullible. Thus the industrious
become hewers of wood and drawers
of water. 1t was the fundholders' in
fluence that struck down gold in Ger
many after California and Australia
discoveries, when they thought silver
would be the scarcer of the two metals
and gold was guilty in their minds OF
the objectionable sin Of Imitation"
After the Nevada discoveries they
struck down silver and reinstated
gold. Their influence stands in the
way of European nations making Sill:
yer absolute legal-tender money. They
were quick to discover that the old ao-
solute legal-tender silver dollar OF our
fathers was rapidly increased in coin
age in the last few months OF free
coinage. 1t is scarcity and not this
latter day cant about honesty they
were after, for the silver dollar was
a trifle above par, the difference De-
tween 16 to 1 and ISL to 1, the ratio oil
the Latin union.
A single gold standard means re-
mote redemption, a barren ideallty
when put to a test of redemption, as
Wendell Phillips illustrated when the
chairs broke down: Why, you must
have actually sat down in those
chairs" A scarce single standard
means all sorts of excuses and subter-
fuges to breed debts to keep the coun-
try moderately hard up" so as to
force enterprise to come to the creditor
class to borrow; also the creditor class
get permission to issue and control
the currency and get rich on what
they owe"
Bimetallism means to widen the
legal tender base, to right the wrong
and lessen the excuses for private
snaps and subterfuges. 1t means the
equality of all money before the law,
it means more legal-tender cash and
less misery. 1t means the utilizing OF
the best available material for legal
tender money. And as far as possible
all cash should be legal tender. And
more cash would be like the introduc-
ton of letters and the invention Of
printing. 1t would pour sunshine
and Joy in dismal places and burst the
bonds" that grind to servitude.

tishment Of a permanent exhibition of
American goods in Caracas, with their

opportunity to formally inspect and
compare our goods with those Of the
old world. Mr.. Plumacher says that
Germany, England and France overrun
South America with commercial trav-
cling agents, mostly energetic young

an American house is seldom seen In

the permanent exhibitions viii help

According to recent reports, the
Cuban enthusiasts have removed the
base Of their filibustering operations
from New York to Boston, thinking,
doubtless, that things having got lit

The coroner's jury at, Frederick. Nd. to
Investigate the death Of Mrs. Dugan, the
victim of the recent Catoctin mountain

verdict: I'VE believe that Mrs. Caroline

an unavoidable accident on the Frederick
and Middletown railway Sunday evening,
August %, the said Mrs Dugan being in
i'll health at the time of the accident, and
we hereby exonerate the railway company
from any blame whatever"
DR.. S. S. Maynard, who attended Mrs.
Dugan during her illness, testified that the
superficial injuries found upon the person
of the deceased ter the accident were not
OF much conseE. ace, but that death was
due to nervous shock
No cars have been running on the road
since Friday morning. At that time the
only car on its return trip from the noun
tain jumped the track near the city, and,
striking trolley pole, broke the platform.
The directors have decided that hereafter
not more than sixty persons will be per.
mltted to ride ON any one car at time.
Thomas T. Anderson, who sustained a
compound fracture of the left hip in the
accident, has filed suit against the Fred

IS 1T ALLEN OR BOWLER?
Craftsmanship Of the Populist Notification
Committee Disputed.
Mr.. Bntcman Makes n Statement In
Which He Says the Minnesota
Man Was Elected.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
LEWISTON. Me-, August 31.-rnited
States Senator Allen has SHE'D a castor in
to the political ring which bids fair to
cause more trouble and disruption i'll the
populist camp. 1t had come to be under
stood that John M. Bowler of Minnesota
was the chairman and L. c. Bateman of
Maine the secretary of the committee ap-
pointed by the populist national conven-
ton to notify Mr.. Bryan of his nomination
by that body.
Senator Allen now comes forward and
claims that he is the chairman of that
committee. L. c. Bateman was seen today
by The Star correspondent and interviewed
in relation to this important matter of dis
pute. Mr.. Bateman was considerably ex-
ercised over the matter, and said with
much warmth:
You say it is reported that Senator Allen
claims the Craftsmanship of the notification
committee which Is to inform Mr.. Bryan
Of his nomination by the popuhst party.
l have something more definite than a re-
port right here. 1 have a letter that l have
just received from Senator Allen himself,
In which he states that he Is the chairman.
You will see by it that he really believes
this to be true. / do not know who has
been playing upon his credulity, but l am
10th to believe that the distinguished SEN
ator has such an exalted opinion of his own
importance as 10 assume that the commit
tee did not dare to name other than him.
self for chairman.
IF so, fear this will be rude awaken
ing from his blissful dream. 1 am the sec
rotary of that committee, and have all the
minutes Of the Lindell House meeting in
my possession. Mr.. Allen was not present
at the meeting, and we should not have
known that he was even a member of the
committee had not Nebraska gentleman

elected chairman. AS we were widely scat

should manage the details Of the notifica-
ton He has shown a strange indisposition
TO 90 SO until now. This letter of the Sen
ators shows that he is now willing to pro-
coed. and will do so as soon as Mr.. Bryan
gets back to Lincoln. That being the case,
| am willing to give him the opportunity.
IT is hitting that he should do So But re-
member, it must be done. There can be no
side-tracking this matter. While Mr..
Bowler and myself are more than willing
that Mr. Allen should do this work, we do
not for one instant relinquish our rights
as officers Of the committee. If he doesn't
do It,. we shall. I have instructions from
majority of the committee to 20 ahead
