Financial Folly.

Here are large number of full-grown
men, supposedly versed in public affairs.
trusted by multitude of citizens with
the power to express public policy for
the guidance of the republic, who delib-
erately announce that they are opposed
omonometallism when it is well known
throughout the world that there never
has been and never can be anything
other than recommendation. We have 1t
now, we have always had it, and we
shall always have it, and the only ques-
ton at issue is whether it shall be gold
monometallism, which we now have, OF
silver recommendation, which the free
coinage of unlimited quantities Of six.

not have both, yet the democratic party
is going to declare itself unalterably
opposed to either. Truly, is not that

wher. Are the Benefits?,

If 50-cent silver dollars should double
the prices of farm products, it is quite
as certain that the prices of all the
products which the farmer consumes
would double in the same way. In that
case it is not easy to see how the farm
er would gain anything by the free
coinage of silver. Even the wages of
labor, the last to rise in an epoch of de-
preciated currency and inflated prices,
would finally, after much distress of
the workingmen, struggle up to the
common level.
But whether the farmer should re-
ceive 500 for 100 bushels of wheat and
pay out $50 for the necessaries of living
or should receive 5000 for the same
wheat and pay out $3.50, in both cases
the balance on hand would have just
the same purchasing power. But in ac'
complishing the degradation of the
monetary standard, which could dc
neither the farmer nor the wage-earneI
any good, an enormous depreciation OF
values and confscation of accumulated
earnings, involving public and private
credit in a maelstrom Of destruction
would inevitably ensue. Are the farm
ers and workingmen of the country
willing to invoke such a catastrophe

An Unworthy Citizen.

Silverite Orator-What we want is
more money.
Skeptie-Would free coinage give us
more money?
S. O.-Certainly. 1t would give us
both gold and silver.
S.-But wouldn't free coinage at six
teen to one drive gold out of circula-
ton, in accordance with the Gresham
law?
S. O.-My friend, Mr.. Bryan pro-
poses to repeal any law that is work
ing in the interest of the goldbugs and
shylocks. ..
S.-But the Gresham law is nat
ural law, like the law of gravitation.
s. O.-My friend, you are a pessimis'

of the grandest country on earth-one
that can without the aid or consent OF

of grayitation itself If it should become

A "BIG SIX" TICKET.

A big Six" ticket with the
POpOcratic state ticket and Stay

played in public places; this
same ticket had several of the
leading candidates of the "Citi-

it has been printed for a special
market, but the people in the
country who believe in sound
money and protection should be
warned to look out for this kind
of a ticket that bears the badge
of treachery on it's face. But
this ticket proves that the can

tickets are not averse to cutting

they can win at their expense

on everything at once, and I make 'em

SITUATION A DESPERATE ONE.
Ex.secretary Whitney Postpones Trip to
Europe to Help Save Democracy From
Disruption.

New York, June 17.-Willialn G. Whit
ney, who had taken passage for Europe
on the Teutonic, which sailed this morn
ing. said today: II decided late last
night to remain at home and go to the
convention at Chicago. do not think
that I can help matters much, but I
have yielded to the requests of many
friends, who have been at me for several
week to be present when the convention
meets.
All this Inuddle that the party has
got into over the silver question, may, in
my opinion, result in it's entire disrup-
tion and if can be of assistance to thoss
who were instrumental in helping to re-
form matters in 1885, / shall be glad to
go.
2 1t is true that had not up to last
night expected to attend the convention
at all, or have anything to do with it,
and my sudden change of plans is only
the result of my determination 80 yield
to the wishes of my friends. Nothing
said by Mr.. Cleveland has Influenced me
as have not heard from him directly
or indirectly. His renomination is to
my mind impossible. Nobody can tell
what will take place under present con-
ditions."

A FEARFUL OCEAN DISASTER.
The British Steamer DrummOnd Castle
Sunk in Collision.
About $50 Persons Were ON Board and
Only Few Were Sayed-Cause of this
Accident is Unknown.

About $50 Persons Were ON Board and
Only Few Were saved-Cause of this
Accident is Unknown.
Brest, France, June 17.-The British
steamer Drummond CASTLE Capt. N. W.
Pierce, from Cape Town for London,
ooll1ded at midnight with an unknown
steamer and sank three minutes later
with 144 passengers and 103 officers and
crew on board. Two men were picked
up, floating on some wreokage by fisher
men of Ushant, near which point the
steamer went down. 1t is hoped. how
ever, that some of the passengers and
crew escaped in the boats.
The Drummond Castle belonged to the
Castle line of steamships, running be-
tween South Africa and London. She
was of about 1850 tons register and was
last heard of at Lias Palmas, Canary
Islands, on June IL, Friday last
Tugs have been sent out from this
port to the scene of the disaster in the
hope of picking up some survivors. The
fate of the steamer with which theDrum-
mond Castle collided is not known and
hopes are expressed that she may be
atioat and that some Of the passengers
and crew of the Castle liner are on board
her.
The cause of the disaster is unknown,
but it is believed to have been due to
the lights of the unknown steamer hav-
ing been misread or not discerned by the
officers of the watch on board the Castle
liner.
