mo WORSE OFF,

ave can't be any worse of than wo are,
is the view of an unfortunately large
army OF laboring men as they turn their
ears to the tuneful lay of the silverites.
Bot we can. We can be great deal
worse of than wo are. There is nothing
so bad that there Ia not something worse.
The wilson German tariff bill was
chiefly instrumental In making us as
badly of as we are. That such bill be-
came possible was due to the idea that
nothing could hurt this great, prosperous
country and tnat possibly We might be
better off than we were under the Nc
Kinley tariff.
The discouragemcnts of hard times in
cline good many of US to listen 10 any
proposition that promises relief. That
makes the opportunity OF the silverite.
But hard as are the times, poor as are
great many OF us, the times are not SO
hard and our people are far removed from
the impoverishment and the degradation
OF the poems Of silver-standard Mexico
or the masses In silver-standard India.
II we could all make q campaign excur-
sion TO Mexico and India, for instance,
we would come back assured that we
could be a good deal worse of than we
are.
And'%e would be convinced that to
put the money Of the country on a silver
standard, would accomplish 1t.
Free silver can give no lift to wages.
1t cannot employ the unemployed. 1t is
no magical thing.
On the contrary, it can and will, not
because 1t is "wicked policy" but for
stern practical reasons reduce the de-
mand for labor and increase the prices OF
tho necessaries and the luxuries OF life far
beyond the fascinating proposition of
dollars worth of "money" for fifty
cont's worth OF intrinsic value.

Dawley Talks Of His Imprisonment I'm
MORO Castle.


There was rot q single specific charge
against me, not even tho charge OF hav-
ing photographed the rebel chief Maceo
or Weyler's cherished Trocha. although
these wcro the accusations reported by
the papers. There was something, how
ever, In the testimony against me OF
having talked politics with some one,
whom | had never seen nor heard of be-
tore. Ibis party had testified in Arte-
misa that / had said that "if Weyler
would throw up and 20 home the Gu
bans would get their independence. :"
As conscientiously believe that Weyler's
m sthods do more tn help the Cuban
deny this statement OF Melguizo's false
witness. The judge shook hands with
mo nsSuring me once more that he
would have me dining that afternoon at
the Hotel Inglaterra, and l was escorted
back to my cell.
To the best of my knowledge, the Judge
did try TO havo me released but the
captain general opposed IL , although he
told Consul. General Lee that / should be
set free after certain formalitifs had been
attended to, and | was kept another
week in Morro's dungeon. We received
the Havana paDers a few days after my
trial, and read that General Weyier as q
special favor to The new consul general,
had ordered the release of the Yankee
newspaper man.
When the order finally came 7 had re-
tired 10 my hammock for the night.
The Lieutenant announced the news
through tie barred-door, and there was

the poor are growing poorer. To be clas-
sed with the rich In our time demands
more riches than ever before and one may
be fairly well fixed and yet be classed with
the poor. But there is no evidence in sup
port OF either assertion-that the rich
are growing richer or that the poor are
growing poorer despite few examples OF
unprecedented wealth.
AS whole, in the United States, more
people are "rich" today than was the
case q quarter OF a century ago. Million
aires are more numerous. We doubt,
however, II their increase is in proper
tion to the increase of population. We
are confident, however, that the poor are
fewer in proportion.
For il the rich do grow richer that
does not mean that the poor grow poorer.
The riches do not come from the poor
and their growth is never at the expense
OF the poor. AS q general principle the
more erich men" there are among US
the better 1t is for oil OF us--and espec-
ially for tho poor that We have always

Trouble of serious nature is beins
fomented in Spain, particularly in tn,
province of Valencia, by agents of tn,
Cuban insurgents. The minister o
the interior, Senior Cosgayon, yester
day replying To a question in the
chamber OF deputies admitted thai
riots had occurred in Valencia, caused
by the friends of the Cuban insurgents,
who hoped thereby to prevent the
departure of reinforcements of troops
for Cuba.
Hitherto the popular demonstrations
have been attributed TO protests
against imposing new taxes, made
necessary by the financial strain the
government has been subjected to,
through carrying on the campaign
against the insurgents in Cuba, but
while the government is only willing
to admit that the riots have been insti-
gated by the agents of the Cuban revo-
lutionists, it is generally admitted that
the root of the trouble is much deeper
and that it is being nourished by a
natural feeling of alarm and dismay
at the apparent utter inability of the
government to cope with the situation
in Cuba,

QUEER LOGIC.

1t is persistent popular error that
the value of money in any country de.
pends upon the amount in circulation.
The value of money depends upon moth
ing but the value of that OF which it is
made.-Oregonian.
No more fallacious statement than
the above could be made. Money Is
nothing more than convenient COM
modify through which the exchange
of trade is effected, and when con-
sidered as commodity it's value must
be governed by the law of supply and
demand. If money is scarce and the
demand is great, its value, when
measured by it's power to purchase
labor or the necessaries OF life, neces-
sal lily increases. On the other hand
when it is plentiful the demand is
lessened and its purchasing power or
its "value'' diminishes. These are
facts which history and all experience
verify.
Go back to the time of inflated cur.
rency, from 1851 to 1878, and the value
or purchasing power of every kind OF
money, coin as well as paper was less
than it is at present or has been at any
time during recent years. During
those years days labor, bushel Ut
wheat or pound of cotton would buy
nearly twice as much money as twill
at present, because money was more
plentiful, hence was of less value.
Were the statement of the Orc
gonian. that the volume of money in
circulation has no effect upon It's
value. really true, it would be of no con-
sequence whether we had one million
or one billion dollars in circulation its
value would remain the same, hence
its argument that the free coinage of
silver will drive gold out of circulation,
and thereby make money scarce and
dear, has no foundation. But all ex-
perience teaches a different state Of
affairs to exist, especially when we
consider money only as commodity,
and it is nothing else, and compare it
with other commodities. Suppose We
take wheat as the standard by which
values ars measured. When there is
an abundant crop all over the world
the supply is great, and the price OF
wheat goes down, or the purchas-
ing power of money and other CON-
modities rises, but when there is q
shortage in the supply of wheat it rises
in price, and the purchasing power of
money and other commodities when
in wheat falls. The same is
equally true with regard to money.
Its value is governed by the law of sup
ply and demand the same. When it is
plentiful its purchasing power is. dim
nished; when scarce it will buy NOR
If the results of labor
