NOT ENOUGH OF BOTH METALS.

The Philadelphia Press has labored article to prove that there is or soon will be, god enough for all purposes. Et insists that silver gained It's value Between 1850 and 1870, as compared with gold, and then asserts Gas his toric fact that first one and then the other metal is produced in the larger quantity, and gains or loses in arela- tive value"
 The only trouble about that is that 1t is not true. The Press cannot cite a fact to establish the integrity of it's statement. It cannot point to any time or place when or where the metals drew apart, except that one or the oth- CT was discriminated against by legis- lation. The reason for it is plain enough. The editor of The Press has never seen day when the people around him were not complaining of hard times. And the reason for that has been that there never has been a moment of time since man reached that state which we call civilized, in which there have been enough of both metals to serve mans unsuitable need Of money. There never will be. There is no spot in the United States, except in some city to which money gravi- tates, that a man can sell his prop erty for what 1t cost, and there never has been, except 1t be intangible prop erty, like the goodwill of a business or. where, by the "unearned incre- nlent," property, because of increasing population and the increase of busi- ness around it, has slowly advanced in value simply through it's location and the work of other men.
 This all makes clear that the rule is that money is always worth more than property; that the man who can loan amy sum for even slight interest, will, in little while be able with half his

Vote.
 There lies upon our table a hand somely printed pamphlet, bound in yellow satin, which will prove of inter- est to all voters at the special election here June 2. The work is issued from The Republican office antd consequently represents perfect typographical skill. Although the authorship does not ap- pear on the title page, we are enabled to credit the interesting narrative to MT. Fletcher w. Boomer, a young banker and extensive stage line pro- prietor of Boise City, Idaho, who is spending a few months in Phoenix for his health. This literary effort was produced under the general superv.s- ion and cooperation of the city re- corder, but the precise literary style and wonderful statistical learning dis played are evidently the result of MT Boomers large experience in drawing bank dividend checks and composing at white heat thrilling time tables for six and eight horse Concord stage routes over the wild mountain fast | nesses of the authors native state.

The Democratic congress put wool on the free list and reduced the duties on woolen goods, thereby losing $15,- 100000 of revenue and ruining the wool growing industry. It put a 40 per cent duty on sugar and by so doing is taking $3O,OOO,OOO year out of the pockets of consumers. These are a few of the reasons why the country is bowling itself hoarse for Mckinley.

Miss Phoebe Couzins doubtless feels that she has been most cruelty treated by the woman suffragists who refused assistance in her hour of extreme need, but she is only experiencing the fate which has overtaken thousands of poli- ticians of the other sex. There is no charity and but little humanity in pol itics, and the rule seems to hold good among politicians of both sexes.

Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums.

money to buy out his neighbor who, when he put his money at interest, in vested his in any form of property
 About the increase in the product of gold soon satisfying the worlds de- mands for money, that is but specuia- ton without a tangible fact behind it.
 Just now there is an inctrease in gold production, but the increase does not supply the increased demand of the arts. When, as now, the worlds wealth continues to gravi tate to few people, the disposition of those few is to outdo the.r rich neighbors. Then comes gold table service, gold en- broidery, house ornaments tipped with gold, gold-plated trappings for their horses and gold collars for their pood- les. The same tendency is seen in a thousand ways, in all the richer walks of life, and the gold supply cannot keep up with the worlds extravaganza
 If all the estimates of The Press were
 true it woald not matter, the demand of the arts would outrun the product. But in point of fact very much of the anticipated increase should be dis counted in advance, because nature | did not fix things that way. The pre-
 cious metals were long ago named
 precious because enough of both could not be obtained to serve the
 world as measures of value, and the
 rule is just as much in force today as it was a thousand years ago. In the meantime the producers of the United
 States are working without reward, in
 the meantime all the property is gravi- 'tating to the rich; in the meantime the
 ratio of crime and despair-all the gloomy children of poverty-is increas- I ing faster than the ratio between gold I and silver is drawing apart, and three | fourths of the world and the world s people are waiting redemption.
 | In the meantime, too, the metropoli-
 tan press is crying out that the reason l silver has fallen as compared with
 gold is because it has become too plen-
 ty, and Senator Sherman from behind his millions pipes the sentiment of the | despoilers, when he declares that he
 would, if necessary, take the last shirt | from the backs of the people to main | tain our National financial honor We
 tell the people to bide their time unti, l through the ballot they can record
 their protest against intolerable wrongs
 and make it clear to those who are
 despoiling them, that the voice of a
 free people when once aroused is in deed the voice of God.

the preparations purporting ito be blood purifiers and nerve tonics. It is a fact, we'll known to medical men and testified to by thousands that the effect of using this medicine is to inn part strength ito the muscles, vigor to the mind, brightness to the eye, bril- liance to the skin, and bloom to the cheek. What more can be desired? Ayers Sarsaparilla does this for oth- CTS, it will do so for you. It does this by driving out of the velns and arteries every particle of diseased blood and filling them with a pure and vigorous circulation. This is the secret both of beauty and of health.

The St. Louis cyclone has been the
 most disastrous ever known up to date.
 The death rate and loss of property
 cannot be estimated and when Ari-
 zona people take the matter into con
 sideration they feel quite fortunate
 that the country is free from such tW- rible things. Nevertheless some people argue that Arizona is not free, and it is just as possible for cyclones in this country as in the wild and woo.y east.
 Of course they mean the great slaugh- tering sale of gentlemen's summer
 suits and straw hats by the Alkire com pany, as business cyclones are the
 only kind known in this country. In fact the Alkire company has created a regular blizzard in the commencing of the warm weather by almost giving away summer suits and straw hats. Every gentleman that has not got a nice cool suit for the summer has no
 one to blame but himself, as A,kire's have done their part by getting the best line and placing them at prices all can afford.

The wind comes in heavy gusts. The
rain does moi cease and the observer at

Considerable damage has been done
along the water front by combined ac-
ton of the heavy rain and the unusual
ly high tide which prevailed last night.
Many cellars were flooded and low-lying
streets We're swamped. Aside from this
not much damage was done here.
Reports from New England coast
cities indicate that considerable damage
has been done to shipping, but news Of
disasters will probably not be received

President OF Railway Tells His

Vote as They Please.

New York, Sept. ON. e. ingalls,,
president of the Chesapeake & Ohio and
Big -Four railroads, addressing his ''fel-
low employees" at Clifton Ford, Pa, last
Saturday, said he had received marked
copies from time to time of newspapers
containing the charge of coercion of en-
ployes. For ten years, he said, the
Chesapeake & Ohio and it's employees had
got along very well together without the
assistance of the newspapers and could
do so still. Mr.. Ingalls, told his en-
ployes that the right to vote their senti-
ments was the grandest right that had
come down to them; that it was better
than all the gold in the world.
"What l ask you to do" said he, in
conclusion, " is to go home, read all on
the subject you can get hold of, think
over it, and then vote as you decide best.
If, after studying the question, you de-
eide to vote for Bryan and Sewall
against what we consider to be the best
interests of the Chesapeake & Ohio, and
if anyone discharges you for so voting,
come to me and | will discharge the
man who discharged you and put you
back"
This declaration was received with
tumultuous applause.

Henry Maspero was president and James

of the bank was only 100000, and it's

regarded as weak for a long time. The
bank is said to have sufficient securities
to lquidate it's entire Indebtedness. Yes
terday a rumor was in circulation that
the bank was to go into liquidation,
though the directors had not then taken
action on the subject. They have now
concluded to wind up the business. 1t
is stated that leading banks of this
city hold, in cash assets, an amount
which is twice as large as that usual at
this season of the year and are perfect

request deposits are made in the sub
treasury there and the suDtreasury in

the amounts to the banks. Already

The flames progressed so rapidly that
before the crash of the wall came there
was no hope of saving the building. The
firemen had just placed ladder against
the wall when it tumbled. The. wind
was blowing hard and this was the dl-
rect cause of the calamity. The falling
walls proved to be not only death trap
for the fire fighters, but dangerous to
everyone who was trying to help stay
the progress of the fire or assist in saw
ing goods The first part of the building
to so down was the top part OF the alley,
which buried the fifteen men. This ter
rible sight was witnessed by hundreds OF
people who stood helplessly looking on,
though there We're some who rushed IN,
regardless of fire and smoke, to help the
shrieking, struggling victims.
