MAINTAINING THE GOLD RESERVE

But not only has this produced such an
effect, but IL has practically contributed

The maintenance of the gold reserve up TO
EOOOOO,OO0 by the government for the To-
demption of our notes was essential TO
confidence in the stability of our finances.
When the government reserve runs down
people begin at once to say: I'VE NAV
come To the silver basis: gold is going out,
the reserve Is going down." and this fear
is greatly increased But how can you
Keep gold reserve Of one hundred mill
ions when you have not got one hundred
millions in the treasury all told; how can
you maintain this gold reserve for the re
demption OF notes when you have an an.
nual and continual deficit in your income
not equalling your expenses9
So that, my fr ends, this tariff bill has
not only contributed by increasing inn
portation, taking away the needful sup
port for our own manufactures. but IL has
contributed in the way of increasing the
silver scare to bring us into the present
condition OF distrust and dismay which
now prevails. Applause The bond
sales have been made necessary by
reason Of this defcit-because, l think,
every one will agree that as financial
problem il Is one thing when you have

Report To the Senate.
That first dirty errand that a dirty dol
lar does l. to cheat the workingmsn. ZAP
plause My fri nds, cold, statistical
inquiry, non-partisan In Its character,
was made by committee Of the senate In
1890 and some following years. The COM
mirtee was composed OF Democrats and
Republicans and they set out to study as
statisticians the relative prices of COM
modities and WAGES at different periods in
the history Of our country This investi-
CATION covered the years Of the war 1t
showed how prices of goods went up and
in what proportion labor advanced. Goods
went up rapidly, because the pencil pro-
cess is a quick process Wages went up
haltingly and slowls, because the en-
ployer has to be persuaded
Now have here somewhere a memo
randum of some of those facts resulting
from Tat inv stigation. Labor in one
period advanced per cent. Goods. the
things the men had to buy out OF their
wages for their families and living, adj
vanced Is per cent Through another
period the laborer's wages advanced ltH
per cent, and the price Of goods advanced
80 per cent. In another period the wages
of the laborer won't up 20 per cent and the
prices of merchandise advanced 30 per
cent In another period the laborers
wages went up AZ per cent. and the prices
of goods III per cent. Now, these statis-
tics are the result of cold, scientific In
quiry, made by men Of both parties to de-
termne what the truth was, AMI the truth
they found was that the enormous dis
parity between the advance of the cost of
living and the advance Of wages falls in
exactly with what we would conclude In
advance. f
The laborers, men who work, whether
with head or hand, in s,laried positions,
would do we'll t. take these facts to heart
and settle the question after that bro ID,
deep inquiry to which Mr.. Bryan invites
you as to whether you want to enter into
another experience such as you had during
The war, when wages advanced SO slowly
and tediously and The cost of your living
moved on SO swiftly. Mr.. Harrison looked
at his watch cries of go on, we are all

some Of the evils that will result from this

ILLUSTRATED WITH A STORY.
The Troubles Of . Ticket Agent on the
Mexican Border.


read the other day in a paper q
most amusing description Of the trou-
bies of the ticket agent at Laredo, a
station on the Mexican railway. who
had to sell tickets to people who came
from the United States with United
States money going into Mexico, and
then TO people who came out of Mexico
and who gave him Mexican money. He
had large book bound up with yellow
paper. and he had to cover one whole
sheet in the calculation, usually, when
he sold a ticket. [Laughter.1 That is
what would happen everywhere. Every
thing would have TO be readjusted-
the prices of everything, the whole in
tricate business adjustments of the
country, would have TO be readjusted-
and while that process is going on un-
certainty would characterize business,
resulting in panic and disaster.
They make a strong appeal to
the farmer. They say it will put up
prices Well, in a sense, yes. Nominal
ly. yes; really, no. If wheat goes from
so cents to a dollar twenty the price
has been increased. you will say; but
IL the price of everything also has gone
up in the same proportion bushel of
wheat won't buy for the farmer any
more sugar or coffee or farming imple-
ments OF anything else that he has TO
purchase. If that dollar won't buy for
the farmer any more, or be better
dollar than the one we have now where
is the good to anybody of introducing
these fictitious prices that are now real.
They would work very well for the
farmer If the prices of wheat, hay. oats
and rye would double and nothing else
would double; but if everything doubles
who Is the richer? who is richer than he
was beforef Only the man who bought
when we had an honest dollar and paid in
a debased one; only the mine owner who
uses this government to add 30 cents to
the value of every dollars worth of metal
that he produces from his mine [Ap-
plause. That Is not even a Democratic
doctrine. II involves the idea that this
government of ours shall pay not only its
debt of honor but that it pay the interest
on its bonds ana circulating notes in a de-
based currency

O"rtations. Now what has been the sf-
feet Of that? IL has failed to produce
revenues enough supplemented by our
internal tax to maintain the govern

Where Pennies are Coined.

1t is not generally known that
all the minor coins Of base metal,
such as pennies and nickels, are
made at the Philadelphia mint,
and that nearly 100, 100000 pennies
are coined here every year. This
large number is occasioned by the
fact that thousands of pennies are
lost annually, and the government
has some difficulty In maintaining
supply. The profit OF the govern
ment on their manufacture Is
large. The blanks for making
them are purchased for 81 thou
sand from a Cincinnati firm that
produces them .by contract.
Blanks for nickles are obtained in
the same way, costing Uncle Sam
only a cent and a half apiece.
Gold is coined in Philadelphia
and San Francisco. Not enough
OF it comes into the mint at New
Orleans to make the coinage Of it
worth while. Gold pieces are the
only coins of the United States
which are worth their face value
intrinsically. A double eagle con-
tains 500 worth Of gold without
counting the one-tenth part cop

New Submarine Boat.

The Goubet resembles whale
in shape, being spindle sshaped
and measuring 26 feet In length
and about 5 feet inches in dia-
meter In the middle, with capac-
ity OF 10 tons. 1t is cast in three
sections OF gun metal, which are
bolted together. The middle sec
ton Is surmounted by a dome, also
of gun metal, about l foot high,
by which access Is obtained to the
interior. The hull is about l inch
thick in the middle and about one
third of this only towards the
ends, but this gives sufficient
resistance to navigate at any
depth in the English Channel.
The boat is propelled by a screw,
which also serves the purposes Of
q rudder, the shaft being jointed
to enable of its being moved right
or left. The horse power is ex-
tremely small lone or two, this,
1t is said, being sufficient under
water, where there is no wave
making, to give seven or eight
knots. The motive power is sup
piled by an electrical battery.
The boat may be rowed backward
or forward by a pair Of fin-like
to the fore. When
the boat is in harbor the dome
energies. When this is closed,
and the boat sets out on the war
path, water is let into compart-
ments in the lower part Of the
boat, which gradually sinks. The
quantity of water Is regulated by
very ingenious automatic appara-
tus, and when the Goubet is sunk
to any required depth 1t remains,
the screw propelling it in hori-
Zontal plane,
