 TOT the same services, in many instances not being half as much, while the prices or commodities generally are much higher than they are here.
 The prices of imported articles espe- claily are exorbitantly high in Mexico. because they have to be paid for abroad Ill gold, and the depreciation of their money IS so great that it requires near Y $2 ln silver to pay S1 in gold. AL though our own silver dollar contains less fine silver than the Mexican dollar. one of ours is nearly equal in ex. changeabie value to two of theirs. be- cause here the coinage is limited. and the government issues the coin on fla own account and has pledged it's faith and credit to keep them as good as eala pledge that has been faithfully kent up to this time, notwithstanding the complaints and denunciations of our free coinage opponents
 If we are to have free and unlimited coinage of legal tender silver for tho benefit of the owners of the bullion. the value of our dollar would be no greater than the intrinsic or commercial valna
 
 of the silver contained in it, and it's pur- chasing power in the markets would be diminished about one-half, but the wages of labor would remain, for long time at least, substantially at the pres ent rates, CT, if they should be nomi- nally increased on account of the depre- citation of the currency, experience in the past shows that they would not in- crease in proportion to the increase in the prices of commodities. Rises in the rates Of wages take place very slowly, while the prices of commodities move rapidly, at some periods changing sev- eral times ill the course of q single day, and these movements are always more frequent and more harmful when the currency is in an unsettled condition.

A Free Silver congressman,s Admission.


 Representative Charles A. Towne of Minnesota Is regarded as one of the ablest advocates of free coinage in con gress It is doubtful, however, whether the flatists and Populists in the silverite army will welcome him as one of their leaders, for ill recent speech in the house he distinctly repudiated the foun- dation principle of the cheap money theorists. After a long argument in favor of free and unlimited coinage at 16 to l he ranged himself with the be- heyers i'll sound money who wish to maintain the present standard by de- claring: ''The government stamp can not create value. Let us hear no more cheap denunciation of creating value by law. Nobody claims you can do so. D
 With all difference to Mr. Towne this is exactly what the siIYerites and fiat money advocates do claim They assert that the government stamp can make 8 piece of paper worth $1, S10 or $1o0, or raise the value of an ounce Of silver not worth 68 cents to S1 29. The whole scheme for free coinage rests upon the assumption that f 37114 grains Of sif- Yer were stamped "0ne Dollar, it's value would be equal to g 9 grains of pure gold Unless t should do 90 the silver dollar would be partly fiat, or resting upon the government, s ability to maintain it on a par with gold
 It is certainly true that value cannot be created by law. This is why the op- ponents of free coinage have insisted that an attempt to raise by legislation the commercial value of silver, now 30 to 1, to l6 to 1 would be 8 failure and would involve the finances and business interests Of the country in disaster. Law can no more increase the real value of labor products than 1t can increase the rainfall or the average temperature. But by making 50 cents worth of metal a legal tender for 8 dollars worth of debt, the government can defraud cred itors, break contracts and upset the great commercial and industrial inter ests which are based on as dollar worth 100 cents. Since Congressman Towne does not believe that law can create value, how can he consistently favor the Is to l swindle, which depends en- tirely on the theory that the govern ment's stamp can make I6 ounces of silver worth as much as ounce of gold2

Lake Schooner Sinks,

MUsKEGoN, Mich: The schooner Wau-
kesha broke up while trying to ride out
the gale at anchor here Sunday night, and
only one survivor of her crew of seven
was rescued. All night long the wreck
age continued to come upon the beach
and five bodies were recovered.
Frank Delach, the only survivor of the
wreck, made affidavit to the effect that
there were seven aboard the Waukesha.
When they arrived off Muskegon Delach
said the captain, mate and some of the sail
ors were very drunk. They signalled for
a tug but showed no distress signals, and
no tug under these circumstances started
out in the heavy sea. The craft began
leaking badly after they anchored, but
the captain refused to light torch to
make known their condition to the life
saving crew. The crew donned life pre-
servers, their yawl boat having been
washed away. All hands took to the
forward rigging. The craft began sink
ing rapidly and sudden lurch threw
some of the men from the foremast. As
part of them clung to the rigging the
main top mast broke off and fell upon
them, striking some of them and sweeping
all into the lake.

Dun & Co. a Review.

NEW YORK: r. G. Dun & Co.'S Week
ly Review of Trade says: 1t was not
strictly logical that wheat advanced sc,
reaching &c for November and S5c fox
December, and heavy realizing of profits
showed perception of the fact. Western
receipts were only $751; ,l59 bushels,
against S,O19, $40 last year, and Atlantic
exports, flour included. were only 1883, :
1853, against 1, ,79O, 1888 last year.
A growing disposition appears among
farmers to hold wheat for better prices
than are now realized, although at pres
ent any advance checks buying for eX-
port.
Practically no change has appeared in
woolens, but the reported purchases of
wool, including one of ll,oO0,OOo pounds
of territory. said to have been made by a
syndicate, amounted to 1851, 900 pounds
against 5,621,3 pounds last year. The
average prices rose about a cent in Octo-
Der, and since September l. .lO4, 900 pounds
by Coates Bros. have risen from 12.16 10
1892 cents, or 63 per cent.
Failures for the week have been 23O in
the United States against 2S0 last year,
and 81 in Canada against 49 last year.

RAILROAD INTERESTS,
Prospects of Great Increase of
General Traffic.

Prospects of Great Increase of
General Traffic.
Chicago railroad officials say that for
months their business has been exceed
ingly dull and earnings have been below
the dull months of the last dull year.
Now a revival is looked for in freight
circles. Officials predict one of the heav-
lest movements of merchandise known in
many years. Country merchants as we'll
as the jobbers in the large cities have
allowed their stocks to run down to the
minimum. The movement of west-bound
merchandise has been the ightest for
many years. Thousands of stocks must
be replenished and country merchants
will buy heavily. This means heavy
loads for the railroads, and correspond
ingly heavy earnings. No falling off in
the heavy east-bound movement of grain,
which began under the cut freight rates
of last month, is looked for. Orders for
cars are coming into general freight
Offices from all points in the west, and
more than one road fears car famine.
AS most of this grain will move under
contracts made at the reduced rates there
will not be large increases in revenue
from that class of freight, but the great
est economy of operation as we'll as the
greatest amount of revenue will develop
from the movement of loaded cars both
ways. Passenger men are also expecting
heavy business. Commercial travellers
make up large percentage of all roads
passengers. Many merchants prefer buy
ing their goods at the large centers to or
dering of travelling men, and they, too,
will soon be using passenger trains. The
winter tourist business also has been
ielayed

Thirteen Are Drowned.

ST. JoHN's, N. F.: A marine tragedy
occurred here the other night. The
schooner Maggie, Capt. VIM. Blundon,
while entering this harbor with twenty
three persons aboard, was struck by the
steamer Tibe, Capt. John De Lisle, which
was steaming outward at full speed. The
schooner sank from the force of the col
lision, carrying down with it thirteen per-
sons. Four of these were women, one the
wife of the captain and another his sister.
A young married couple named Power
and brother and sister of the name of
Holloway are of those drowned. The
passengers were coming to st. Johns to
procure their supplies for the winter be-
fore navigation closed. Those who es-
capped were kept afloat by the aid of planks
from the schooner's decks, and were
picked up by the steamers boat and
brought back to the port by the pilot boat
which had the Tiber in tow. The latter
continued on her VOYAGE,

A Railroad Sensation.

Topeka, Kan: Western railroad cir
cles have sensation in second receiver
ship for the Santa Fe. The road and
equipment in Kansas has been placed in
the control of State Senator Charles F.
johnson of Oskaloosa, Kan. Judge Louis
Meyers, Of the First district, made the
appointment and ordered him to take
charge of the property of the Santa Fe
Railway Company in Kansas.
The action which resulted in the ap-
pointment of receiver has been brought
under the Kansas law of 1891, which pro-
vides that no corporation more than per
centum Of whose capital stock is owned
by aliens shall acquire real estate in the
state of Kansas, and that if any real
estate should be acquired in violation of
this statute it shall be forfeited to the
state.
The appointment Of a receiver has been
brought about, it is believed, by the men
who opposed the recent reorganization
plan of the Santa Fe. When the reorgan-
ization was effected a meeting was held
in Topeka, and the opponents of the re-
organization plan, headed by Henry
Clews, made a strong effort to prevent 1t.
The anti-reOrganization men do not show
their hands in the present litigation, but
they are charged with being responsible
for it by the friends of the new com pany.

A Story of Senator HawIey.

Sitting by my side at the convention
which nominated Lincoln for Presi-
dent, writes Isaac H. Bromley, was a
newspaper editor who called me ike,
as I called him 'Joe" He was run
ming over with enthusiasm. When the
nomination was made he interrupted
himself in his hurrahing to say to me,
who looked on in wide-eyed silence,
''Why don't you hurrah?' 1 don't
know why 1 did not; but 1 remember
that [ felt queer and only said, 81
can't hurrah; I should cry if anyone
touched me-" 1 came nearer crying
when, in less than twelve months, I
saw him in uniform at the head of the
first Connecticut company that an
swered the cali for troops. He was
afterward a brigadier general, Cover
nor of his State, and member Of Con-
gress, and has lately been elected to
his third term as United States Sena-
tor. There were probably other similar
cases. 1t was Joe Hawley who sat at
my elbow.

Sluns of Lady Somerset.

LONDON: Lady Henry Somerset has
once again come into public notice as the
owner OF a tract of land at SomerS Town
"a neighborhood within the limits of the
city of London and which is covered with
old dilapidated dwellings. The authori-
ties have officially declared the region a
CONDEMNED, insanitary area" but there
appears to be no law under which the
structures can be razed or the tenants
compelled to seek other quarters. The
place has come into notice from the fact
that five inquests have been held within
the last month upon people who have
died suddenly from accident within the
area. 1t is not claimed that Lady Somer-
set is directly responsible for exis ting
conditions, but it is contended that in
view of her considerable wealth it would
be an easy matter for her to buy off the
present lessee of her ground and cause the
polluted buildings to be either razed or
reconstructed

Man Who Didn't Remember Any.

His Former Partner Who Says He

Forgot His Own Name.

MANKATo, Mimi: The man VINO
came TO Mankato three weeks ago ana
was unable to remembe his own name or
his past history, has been identified by ..
w. Blanchard of Chicago, his former
partner, who he claims mysteriously DIS
appeared from Mobile, Ala, June IL last,
taking with him several thousand dollars
of the firms money and leaving $lO,ooo
debts behind him, contracted without
Blanchard's knowledge.
The forgetful man is John Hardcastle
Hall, an Englishman, and, according to
Blanchar statements, he is master oil
deception and trickery, yet withal most
wonderful man. Hall seems to remember
only the good that he has done, and has
no recollection of his alleged crookedness.
Blanchard states that he will not prose-
cute Hall and will return to Chicago, hav-
ing satisfied his curiosity regarding the
man. Halls case has attracted wide at
tention, and dozens of letters have been
received here from all parts of the coun-
try, giving descriptions of missing busi-
ness men. 1t is thought here that Hall is
mentally unbalanced, but Blanchard does
not share this belief.

Advices from Cuba.

KEY WEST: Advices from Cuba give
palmer descriptions of the movements of
the insurgents than can be sent by cable.
Antonio Maceo has moved to a plain coun-
try, on the south coast of Pinar del Rio,
with the intention of making an attempt
to pass the torcha, protected in the mean
time, as he hopes, by the insurgents at
the rear Of the trocha. He is at present
supposed to be at Carojal, in the direction
of the swamp of Majala 1t is thought
probable that it will be difficult for him to
pass by the south coast to the western
portion of Pinar del Rio because Gen.
Weyler's columns are fortifying strategic
positions taken from the insurgents near
Pinar del Rio so as to form strong base
of operations. When once these are fin
ished Gen. Weyler calculates that he will
be able to dispose of 10000 more men in
pursuit OF Maceo, and the general opinion
is that he Will be able to give him deci.
