wI1MNGTON DISTRICT

Presiding Elder Barrett, of Will
mington district, presented his annual
report, which stated that during the
year two deaths had occurred in his
district, referring to Revs. J. Z. Bryan
and j. ID. Locates. He also spoke of
the death of Joseph Pyle.
Revival meetings had been held at
many places on the district and num-
Der of conversions reported, among
which were: Asbury, 100; Union, 100;
Wesley, 80; Brandywine, 100; Kings
wood, 7S; Mt. Salem, 60; Christiana,
81; North East, 63; Perryville, 43;
while nearly every church on the dis
trict has received returns from the re-
vival meetings
The large auditorium of KingswOOd
Church, Wilmington, has been dedica-
ted during the year, and at the dedica-
tion services $1,000 were raised, and
George w. Todd presented a fine
organ. The cornerstone of a new
church at Perryville, Md, was laid on
October II, 1895. The building will
be of granite and cost about So, 900,
with seating capacity of 400.
The financial condition has caused a
falling off in benevolent collections.
Hundreds of mechanics are walking
the streets of Wilmington idle and
large manufacturing plants running on
half time, which means half wages fo1
the workmen. Some of the churches
have been kept busy during the winter
supplying the poor with bread. De-
spite these conditions Wilmington dis
trict did its best and nearly met the
requirement, besides paying on church
improvements SIG, $40, and on indebt-
edness $s, 1868.

WHAT FREE COINAGE MEANS.

To the frequently repeated assertion
of the gold men that the proposition
to coin silver at the ratio of Is to is
a proposition to buy fifty odd cents
worth of silver and stamp it as worth
a dollar" the Philadelphia American
(RepD replies as follows:
It is a proposition Of nothing of the
kind. Under free coinage the United
States would in no sense whatever buy
silver. The assertion that free coin
age means that the United States
would purchase silver in unlimited
quantities giving a dollar in exchange
for every fifty odd cents of silver is an
inexcusable falsehood.
Under the Bland and Sherman acts,
forced on those demanding the
free coinage of silver by the gold con-
tractionists and passed as compromises,
the government bought silver at mar
ket rates, but under free coinage the
government would buy silver in no 9TH
er sense than it now buys gold, and it
would no more give 81 in coin for 5S
cents of silver than it now gives 81 in
coin for So cents worth Of gold bullion.
The proposition to coin silver at the
ratio of Is to 1 is not a proposition to
buy silver, it is a proposition to give
the owner of silver the same privileges
of mintage as those now enjoyed by
the owner of gold, to restore the privi-
Ieges of mintage to the owner Of sill
yer bullion, privileges never denied I'M
til 1873. Under free coinage the gov
eminent would receive on deposit sill
yer bullion as it now receives gold bull
lion, and for every 371A grains Of pure
silver deposited it would return to the
depositor a silver dollar containing BIN
grains of silver, just as for every % %
grains of pure gold deposited now it re-
turns the equivalent of a gold dollar.
And this 37114 grains of silver under free
coinage would be worth no more after
coinage into the dollar than before, any
more than 3.22 grains of gold is at this
time worth more as coin than bullion.
With the minis open to silver coinage
as they are now open to gold, the val
ue of silver as coin and silver as bull
lion would be the same. The silver
dollar might not be worth as much as
the gold dollar. but the bullion value
of BIN grains of pure silver or of 412A
grains of standard silver would be the
exact equivalent of the coined silver
dollar. and this silver dollar is what
the owner of silver bullion would get
in return for his silver. Under free
coinage, therefore, the owner of silver
bullion could get no more than the mar
ket value for his silver, for the market
value would be the coin value. Such
being the case, statements TO the eff
feet that free coinage means that the
government would pay 81 for every
fifty odd cents worth of silver offered
at the minis cannot go unchallenged
for they have absolutely no foundation
in truth

Four boys came over from Atchison

come to Topeka to look around Their

once. They promised so to do, and
probably they Will arrive home at their

WHO ARTHUR SEWELL Is.
One of the Largest Owners of Mer-
chant Ships In the Country.

Bath. Ne. July 11-Steadily for over
20 years has the Sewen private signal,
white So on a blue ground, fiuttered
from the main spar from some of the
staunchest, finest, swiftest vessels in
the merchant marine. carrying the
stars and stripes into every foreign
port.
From the days of the first chubby lit
tie Diana" built in 1923 to the great
steel '"Diriga" launched in 1894, this
house has led the country in designs
for merchant vessels. Beginning IN
der William D. Sewell in 1928, the
house has been continuous and today
owns the largest sailing merchantmen
ahoat under our flag.
J. D. Sewen was succeeded by his
sons. under the name of E. and E. A.
Sewell, which firm has become Arthur
Sewen and Company, with Arthur
Sewell, Maine member of the national
Democratic committee and Democratic
nominee for president of the United
States at its head, and his nephew,
Samuel S. Sewen and his son William
D. Sewell, associated with him.
The Sewells are of an old and illus
trious family on both sides of the
water. The first American SewelI came
here in 1884, and Dummies Seweu, the
grand father of the first ship builder,
came to Bath from York, which was
also in the district of Maine, in 1862
when he purchased the tract of land
on which today stands the SeWen yard
and houses of the Sewell family. In
the Il years that the SeweIls have been
building ships they have owned IS
ships.
Arthur Sewell, the present head of
the firm, is about so years of age. He
grew up among the scenes of the ship
yard and seashore, acquiring a famil-
iarity with business life, which has
served him well, not only in that par
ticular branch, but in many other lines
of commercial life
There is hardly a corporation in Sag
idahoe county of which he is not a di-
rector. He is prominent in railroad cir
cles as well as in politics, having been
president of the Maine Central and 9TH
er important roads, and now being a di-
rector in many He is a bank presi-
dent and one of the principal business
men of this city. A striking fact in ac-
cordance with Mr.. SewelIs nomination
is that his son Harold is Republican,
having changed from the Democracy as
a result of what he considered the par
tvs failure in administrat Young

Hcan movement in Maine.
