NOT BI-METALLIsTs.
Free Coinage Men Are silver Mono
metallists-
New York World.


New York World.
Senator Teller calls himself bi-metai-
list He defines bi-metallism as "the equal
treatment Of both gold and silver at the
mints.''
Senator Teller Is a silver mono metallist.
and so are all advocates of FREQ coinage
ct Is to I. They DO not ask equal but
unequal treatment OF gold and silver at
the minis. All that the mint does with
gold is to stamp upon 1t the certificate Of
its value. IT stamps IS $40 grains of gold
of standard fineness as a dollar. The
metal Is worth a dollar before II is
stamped. II Is worth a dollar II melted IN
the pot. II will bring a dollars worth OF
value In either shape anywhere In the
world.
What the free coinage men ask IL that
the government shall stamp 4f2is grains OF
silver of standard fneness as dollar I'M
der the arbitrary and obsolete ratio of 16
to |. But this silver Is worth only So cents.
1t will sell for only 50 cents II melted. II
will not pass for dollar in the markets
OF the world. except to be sent back here.
where It's legal tender quality and the pol
icy OF the government TO make II ex-
changeable for gold, keep II current at It's
face value.
In asking this unfair and dishonest ad-
vantage for silver Mr.. Teller therefore de-
mands unequal treatment for the metals.
And as free coinage OF either metal At a
false ratio has everywhere and always
driven the more valuable coin out OF cir
culation. II would inevitably precipitats
this country TO silver basis. making sill
yer the only money OF redemption and ssl-
yer or silver notes the only money IN Use.
The free coinage men ara therefore not
bi-metailists but silver mono-metallists.
They are contractionists. They would
mako money scareer instead of more plen-
tful. poorer instead OF better.

Nominees for Judges, School
Directors and Supervisors
Named.
PLEDGED TO PAY MERCHANTS.
To.Morrow the Ticket Goes to the
Registrar and the Legal Con.
test Will Fol

The Buckleyites completed their ticket
last night by making nominations for
judicial Offices, School Directors and Su-
pervisors. and their municipal convention
adjourned sine die.
On Monday the ticket will be presented
to Registrar Hinton in proper form as the
Regular Democratic Municipal ticket, en-
titled 10 the place and party name belong
ing 10 the Democracy. Mr.. Hinton, who
is required to accept or reject it "forth-
with, is expected to reject it, and upon
his doing so the test case of the local fac
tions will at once go the Supreme Court
on an application for writ of mandamus.
This case will have large legal as we'll as
judicial Importance, and the Buckleyites
will be represented by a number of able
attorneys. They are supremely confident
of having the law and the equities as well
as by far the majority of the Democracy
with them.
On next Wednesday evening the Buck
leyites will hold great local ratification
meeting at Metropolitan Temple, at which
all the candidates will show themselves
and make brief speeches and pledges.
B'nai Birth Hall was crowded again last
night and the work of the convention was
cracked through with expedition and en-
thusiasm.
AT the opening of the session Louis
Goldstone presented a resolution regard
ing the debt of about $400, 600 owing by the
City to merchants for municipal supplies
referring to the debt as ''disgrace and
dishonor to the City" The policy of the
Board of Supervisors which brought about
this result was condemned and nominees
of the convention were pledged to the pay
ment of this indebtedness.
The resolution was adopted, and w. f.
Humphrey, secretary of the committee on
platform and resolutions, read two plan ks
amendatory of the platform. One was a
subs titute for the financial plank, fixing
the tax rate to which the convention
pledges its nominees at 20 cents instead of
80 cents, and the other related to the
quickly adopted, were as follows:
Financial-We pledge all our nominees to an
economical expenditure of public money. We
pledge our nominees for Supervisors to limit
the tax levy for City and County purposes to
eighty-five 1857 cents on each 800 on a total
assessed valuation OF 1897, 5S6, ,126, as now
fixed by the Assessor for the current year, but
If the law requires that the rate just estab-
lished by the State Board OF Equalization
must be adopted for City and County purposes
then we pledge our Supervisors 10 rate of
sevensy-fiye (75) cents on each 800 on a total
assessed valuation of $422, OCT 800 We exact
this pledge because we are reminded that the
fiscal year 15SS-1sS9 was run under
the Democratic pledge of 81 on each
800 on total assessed value of

twenty-five years ago William Radam,
a young man then % years old, landed
in New York. He was German and
could not SPEAK English. He had been a
soldier in the German army and later had
peen in the employ of Emperor William
in the Imperial Gardens, Bellevue.
There be had learned, as only Germans
can learn, how to care for flowers and trees.
When he landed in America it was natural
that he should take up the cultivation of
flowers and trees as q business.
He began in Austin, Texas, and in a
few years became one of the leading florists
and nurserymen of the West Wealth
came to him, but did not bring him happi-
ness, because as his material possessions
grew his health failed. To the original
complaint of malaria had been added
rheumatism, then catarrh and finally con-
sumption. After being treated by the
most skillful physicians for several years
Mr.. Radam found himself seven years ago
virtually at the point OF death. 1t was at
this juncture that he thought of applying
the knowledge he had gained in the treat
ment OF disease in plants to the treatment
of his own serious maladies. He had dis
covered that all the diseases of plants are
caused by sort of fermentation, and that

The most densely populated portion of
the Mission was Illuminated last night
with the blaze of bonfres and the glare of
rockets, testifying that the people of the
hirty- Thirty fifth, Thirty-sixth
and Thirty-seventh Assembly districts
were loyal to the principles of Republican
ism.
The occasion was mass-meeting and
reception rendered to Congressman Loud
by tie Central Republican Club of the
Thirty-ffth Assent bly, District. The clubs
of the Thirty-fourth, Thirty-sixth and
Thirty-seventh districts participated by
invitation. No hall could be found in the
district large enough to hold the great
crowd, and it was, therefore, determined
to hold the mass smeeting in the vacant
lot on Valencia street, between Twenty
third and Twenty-fourth.
Benches were arranged in the lot in
front of the speakers stand for the accom-
mediation Of about 1000 people, and half
an hour before that time there was only
standing-room left.
The audience was more intelligent than
the average, and the best of order pre-
vailed except at the beginning of the
meeting, when a drunken man persisted
in proposing three hiccoughs and a cheer
for William Jennings " Bryan" He was
removed by the police and sought rest and

the meeting was called 10 order by
President Northrup, WHO introduced as
the first speaker Congressman Loud, who
was greeted with cordial applause
Mr. Loud began by saying that Mr..
Bryan had not said anything about open
ing the mills and factories of this country,
although he had a good deal to say about
opening the mints OF the country to the
free coinage of silver. Mr.. Bryan appa-
rently was unaware that in the United
States Treasury to-day there was piled up
silver bullion of the coinage value OF
$4,000 600, to coin which would require
