so that he might tell him of,their Possi-
BILE new partner; but the young man did
not appear. At last Kenyon rose and
began to search for him. He passed
along the deck. but found no trace OF
his friend. He looked for moment
into the smoking-room. but Wentworth
was not there. He went downstairs to
the saloon. but his search below was
equally fruitless. Coming up on deck
again he saw Miss Brewster sitting
alone reading Paper-cOvered novel.
Have you seen my friend Went

She laid the book. open-faced, upon
her lap. and looked quickly up at Ken

Il saw him not very long ago, but
don't know where he is now. Per-
haps you will find him in his state

Kenyon descended to the state-room

upon the plush-covered sofa, with his

Of the door he started and looked for
a moment at his friend, apparently not
seeing him. His face was so gray and
CHASTITY that Kenyon placed his hand
against the wall for support as he
saw it.

Wentworth gazed in front of him
with CLASSY eyes for moment, but did
not answer. Then his head dropped
again in his hands, and he groaned
aloud.

The Dollar of the Constitution.

Mr.. John Fiske, in his Critical
Period In American History" describ-
ing the widespread distress caused by
the 'cheap money" in circulation just
after the Revolution, said: 1.-THE worst
features of this financial device is that
it not only impoverishes people, but be-
muddles their brains by creating false
and feeting show of prosperity. . :
In such crisis the poorest people. those
who earn their bread by the sweat of
their brows and have no margin of &C.
cumulated capital, always suffer the
most. Above all men it is the laboring
man who needs sound money and stable
values. -

THE SILVER QUESTION MANIFESTED
Free Coinage Of Bricks Would Not Raise
Their Price.

Free Coinage Of Bricks Would Not Raise
Their Price,
Did you ever stop to think what
would be the result if the governments
should by legislation determine that Or
binary building bricks 2 by 4 by 8
inches in size should be legal tender in
any amount for 81 each and should ar
range to have them so stamped in any
quantity free of cost to the persons pre-
senting them?
Under such circumstances the price
Of building bricks would at once advance
to 81, 900 thousand, for if they could
be coined without cost the bricks
'uncoined'' would be worth just as
much as the coined bricks-$1 each.
But did it ever occur to you that it
would not be an advance in the value OF
the bricks, but decrease in the value
of the dollars, which would thus estab-
lish a new parity between money and
property - that under such a system
81. 600 would be worth only 1000
bricks; that that 1000 bricks would
exchange for no more commodities or
labor than it does today, and conse-
quently that 81 900 would mean no
more to us than 1. 200 bricks do now?
In other words, our government can
determine by legislation what commod-
ity and what amount Of that commodity
81 shall be, but it must leave it TO the
laws Of comparative supply and de-
mand, cost of production, ETC., to de-
termine what the value of that COM
modify shall be. Itmay declare that
brick shall be q dollar, in which case
81 will be worth whatever a brick will
exchange for. 1t may declare that ass
grains Of gold shall be a dollar, in
which case 81 will be worth whatever
25.8 grains of gold will exchange for,
or it may declare that 4121z grains Of
silver shall be dollar, in which case 81
will be worth only what 413K grains Of
silver will exchanges for, the same to-
day as 80. 3 cents in gold, or, ''giving
the debtor the option" as to what dollar
he shall use with which to pay his
debts, it may declare that each Of these
three shall be dollar, IN which case
81 will be worth Just as much as the
least valuable of the three, which under
present conditions would be the brick.

Put This In Your Pipei

If you are a farmer with an overdue
mortgage or with one that must soon be
renewed, beware of free coinage. 1t
may get you into trouble. Dollars will
be cheaper with free coinage, just as they
now are in Mexico, but interest will
surely be nearly double what it is now,
or about equal to present rates in Mexi-
CO and other silver standard countries.
Unless you are prepared TO pay your
mortgage at once, you should study this
interest question before voting for cheap
dollars.

OYSTER FAMIME PREDICTED.
A Dealer Says the Beds Are Sure to lie
Exhausted.

A Dealer Says the Beds Are Sure to lie
Exhausted.
"Oysters will be very rare delicacy
in a few years" said an oyster man of
New York to a Washington Star report
er. For many years the beds were
preserved to a large extent by having
an oyster season and keeping alive tic
popular idea that oysters were not good
except from September to April. This
gave four months during which the
oysters were left alone and allowed ~
increase. AS a matter of fact, / think
they are little better during those
four months than at any other time.
This was first discovered by the seaside
hotel men, and oysters were served dur
ing the summer months. The guests
demanded bivalyes when they re-
turned to their homes, and now in all
eastern cities the signs of Fresh
Oysters are as numerous in July
and August as in January and Febru-
airy. The new demand is being sup
piled, and at no time are the beds left
undisturbed. 1t is now only a question
of few years before the oysters are
gone, and all because the summer resort
hotel men disabused the minds of the
people as to their not being good to
eat from April to September"

The farmers complain because they
cannot find markets for all their prod

under free silver enable the working
men of the cities and factory towns to
buy more than they do now?

Can free coinage double the price Of
the farmers products without increas-

ing? Will not paying the farmers debts
with half dollars cheat the creditor
whose 100 cent dollars were loaned to
him?

SHORT SNAPS.

Dan Lewis is seriously think

will believe you, if you say so in

From present appearances
there will be several tickets in

Our up-tO-date candidate for
mayor should require every work
ing man to keep his nails clean
and part his hair in de middle.
According to Secretary Irwin,
Mayor Elmendorf tests the street
work in the Sth ward by excur-
siOns in muddy weather in his
carpet slippers. More than that,
he lights his cigar by striking a
match on the smooth surface of
the street-it's so dry and beau
tiful.
We have had a free silver fight,
now, why not have a free fight
for all over the city pie.
The city is now nearly five
months delinquent in paying off
it's employes-Mayor ElmendOrf
should give the boys each a pair
of green goggles and turn them
loose on a pile of shavings.
The 4th ward vigilance club
will please restrain themselves
otherwise an inspection of North
Flores street might impell them
to tear up the street railroad and
hang the aldermen.
Herman Brendel made such a

Mr.. Newcomb says he would

The hook to pull Judge Noonan
out of the contest is baited with
a foreign mission. Let Judge
Noonan become a fisherman and
bait his hook with a trans-Slay-
bait his hook with a trans-San
