THE gold-bug protectionist has a
you that free silver will reduce the val
ue of the dollar to so cents and in the
next breath says it will enrich the mine
owner. When defending the pTotec-
tive tariff he tells you that protection
keeps out foreign goods and at the
same time raises revenue to defray the
running expenses of the government.
Here are propositions dramatically OPP
posed to each other. If under free sill
yer we have dollar worth only so cents
the mine owner cannot become enrich
ed for the reason that the cost of con-
verting the silver into dollar is nearly
equal to the amount that the gold mon
ometallic theorist says the dollar would
be worth. Hence, if the silver dollar
under free coinage were worth only 90
ceuts the mine owner would realize ut
tie or no profit; if the mine owner is
enriched, the silver dollar must neces-
sarily be worth 100 cents. The protec-
tive tariff fallacy is shown up in this
wise: If protection raises revenue TO
run the government, then it does not
keep out foreign goods. If it keeps out
foreign goods, then it doss not raise
revenue. You can corner republican
by his own argument. He presents
propositions, like the above illustra-
tlons, that will not harmonic with
themselves. If one be true the other
is wrong, and vice versa. The fact is
that both are fallacious and 1t only re-
quires an examination of history and
public records 10 q cove that there is
nothing in either Of them

IF it he true, as our republican
friends tell us, that money is not the
creature of law, what makes the silver
dollar, the commodity value of which
is only about Sc cents, worth one
dollar when coined? Without the
government stamp your silver dollar is
net dollar at all. With the government
stamp it goes through the whole coun-
try for 100 cents. What becomes of
this intrinsic value" fad when 1t is
looked into, anyhow?

In hunters lore there is an idea that
the jackal is the lions provider; that
he locates the game and takes the lion
to it. This superstition has no more
foundation than is found in the fact
that after lion has slain his quarry the

John c. Quinn Unconscious
at Hotel Arlington.
A Tell-Tale OdOr of Gas Ex-
planned the Cause.
Went to Bed Friday and Found This
Morning by Domestic.

The Hotel Arlington on Union street
currence which was discovered at half
past o'clock this morning, when John
Z. Quinn, an aged boarder, was found
by chamDermaid and clerk in an uncon-
scious condition. A tell-tale odor of gas
and partly turned gas cock explained
the cause. Mr.. Quinn went to bed IN room
IL about midnight last Friday and was
not seen again, although he was heard
walking or moving in his room last night.
and this morning the cham bermaid list
ened at the door, heard him breath hing
heavily and smelled tho gas. She sum-
moned the clerk, the door was broken in
and Mr.. Quinn, partly dressed, was found
unconscious on the bed. DIR. Brugg was
sent for and did everything In his power
to resuscitate him.
Seeing that his death was imminent a
clergyman was sent for and Rev. Father
MCGEE of the Cathedral responded. In
the meantime the ambulance was called
from the Rhode Island Hospital, and at
1O:45 the sick man, still unconscious, was
removed to St. Joseph's Hospital DR..
Brugg said that there was no immediate
danger then, but there Is little chance
for his recovery.
1t Is believed that the suffocation was
accidental, as the gas cock has no stop
anu ullEnt nave Deeu tufneu lurLQer
around than was intended. 1t was not
considered strange that the victim WAS
not seen after Friday night, because, IL
is stated, he frequently stayed in bis room
two or three days, sending for nothing
and seeing nobody. In fact, he was kind
of "queer" and was under guardianship,
Mr.. Charles III. Page being his guardian.
Mr.. Quinn made reputation as an ex-
pert machinist and worked for long time
with the Corliss Company. He was the
first engineer 10 run the engine at the
Hope Pumping Station. He has done
nothing during the past six or seven
years aud for three years had boarded ar
the Arlington.
His wife died some years ago, hut he
has three sons, two of them, John and
Joseph, being very well known. His
children 1t IL stated, bad a guardian APP
pointed because they thought he was in
danger of giving his property away, hsv-
ing decided a home TO woman, 1t IS said,
who had no legal claim on him. At The
hotel 1t was stated that his habits were
correct with the exception OF that OF
isolating himself for days.
He was nearly killed In an accide'
quite while ago, and since then has
covered, however, but has never been l..
same man since. He has been queer.
At the hospital this afternoon it Yves
understood that he mas fair chance OF
ecover ing.
