Why Silver has Fallen.

Several correspondents ask why it is
that silver bullion has declined i'll the last
twenty years.
The free coinage advocates cannot DENY
the obvious fact that the quantity of bullion
in a dollar, which was worth more than
one hundred cents when free coinage was
suspended in 1873, is now worth only
fifty three and one half cents.
They boldly anege, however, that this
fall was caused by the United states and
the other great nations all closing. their
minis to unlimited coinage, The fact.
however, is that it was the fall in silver
that compelled the closing OF the mints,
and there was nothing mysterious about
the cause of the fall. 1t was due to in
creased production.
In 1873 the world output of silver was
in round numbers sixty-three million
ounces. In 1888 it was eighty three mil
lion ounces, while the output of gold was
unchanged. By 1898 the production of
silver had increased to one hundred and
sixty-six million ounces. The silverites
mislead their followers by juggling with
the coinage price of the white metal when
dealing with production, but the common
sense way OF stating the output of both
gold and silver is by the number of ounces
produced.
taxing the output of the two metals,
then, we find that in 1873 the ratio OF
production of silver compared with gold
was 1851 to |, and ten years later was
~. 81 to l, while in 1893 it was 81 50 to l..
During these twenty years, the world S
coinage systems having previously been
saturated with silver and its commerce
having outgrown the use of the white
metal tor large transactions, the demand
had greatly decreased. With an increase
III the supply that more than doubled in
twenty years and coincident decrease in
demand, it is not difficult to account fol
the fall in the price New York Herald.

Blood on His Clothes
Brown Says the First Nate is the Murderer
Struck the Captain Down Then Attacked the
Second Mate and Mrs. Nash

Brown Says the First Nate is the Murderer,
Struck the Captain Down Then Attacked the
| Second Mate and Mrs. Nash.
| HALIFAX, n. S., July %. Seaman
Brown, who was at the wheel on the night
OF the triple tragedy on the barkentine
| Herbert Fuller, says he saw the first mate
kill the captain. He heard a noise in the
captains cabin, and on going thither saw
the first mate murder Captain Nash.
At the police station the first mate was
stripped and blood was found on his cloth
| ing. The passenger, Frank Monks of
Boston, states that he saw the first mate
come from the captains cabin after the
murder
The excitement over the Herbert Fuller
tragedy continues undated. Nothing
else is talked about. The United States
consul has nothing new to impart, the
police will say nothing and all the prison.
ers are closely guarded. Three doctors
held post mortem on the mutilated re-
mains yesterday, the report of which will
be filed to-day with the attorney general,
and he will probably order an investiga-
ton by the city stipendiary The bodies
will be forwarded to- day, and the Herbert
Fuller will probably sail in day or two,
under sealed instructions from Washing
ton.
Lester Monks, the passenger, is under
arrest, but is kept in the office of the
chief of police with an officer present.
His father is expected here this evening.
| Evidence points strongly to the first mate,
Thomas Bran, as the murderer, and that
his motive was either robbery-both the
| captain and young Monks having consider
able money-or else it was diabolical at
tempt on the honor of Mrs Nash, the
captains wife. From the appearance of
the cabin she died in defense of her
honor. Charles Spencer, the colored
steward, seems to be rather clever chap,
and he is of the opinion that something
was in the wind from the day the vessel
left Boston, as the mate had three large
jars of whskey with him, something verv
much out of the ordinary. Charles brown
was first arrested. He was the man at
the wheel on the night of the murder, the
mate being in charge, two other sailors,
who We're forward on the deck, constitut-
ing the watch at the time. But Bran $
actions were very suspicious, as he want
ed to take the Fuller to South America
instead OF Halifax, and after the mate 8
arrest Brown said he saw the mate kill
the captain with an axe. He looked down
the companionway while at the wheel.
The axe was found covered with blood
hidden under some of the lumber on deck
and was thrown overheard for fear it
might for the second time be made use of.
1t is believed the captain was murdered
first, then the second mate and lastly the
captain wife.
A FATAL SHIP TO THE NASH FAMILY.
A coincidence with Captain Nash's VIC
lent death is that his father, a ship build
er of Harrington, Me-, was killed while
experimenting the building of the bark
entine, and that Captain Nash completed
the work and became commander. Two
of his brothers command vessels, and one
of them is captain of the Josephine Eli
colt, now at Boston awaiting, a chance to
sail for Georgia.

turning later IN the hope OF chance TO
