over 100000 worth of opium had
been struggled into San Francisco.
The Chinese resort to all manner of
devices down to false heels and soles
to their shoes. Some time ago $500
worth was seized in the "hump' of an
alleged humpback. A customs boat
is nearly always stationed under the
wharf during the stay of China
steamer, and from time to time the
officers see planks, pieces of scantling
and tins with floats attached thrown
overheard for some waiting boatman
to pick up. When seized they nearly
alwys prove devices for smuggling in
the costly opium. The planks and
scantlings have long auger holes bor-
ed in them; these are filed with the
drug and then carefully plugged up
Innocent-lo boards are taken
from steamer and laid carefully to
one side on the wharf. They are not
there long, for presently some watch
full eye has discovered them and they
are quickly "sneaked off," These are
likewise full of opium.

who would wait that long to hear Mr..
Wheeler but 1 agree with him that

Mr.. Wheeler may not be ''afraid to

WHY We Believe in the Gold Standard.

We believe in the gold standard for
the following reasons among others:
1. 1t is the accepted standard of a
majority of the best enlightened and
most civilized nations of the world.
,. Its intrinsic value and its coin
value are practically the same.
3. The experience of the nations
which have tried it has demonstrated
that us safe and sound.
f. 1t has been practically the
standard of value in this country since
1884 and has been the absolute stand
ard of value since 1873.
5. Its value fiuctuates less during
long periods of time than any other
known metal.
6. 1t is durable and almost indie
structible.
=. 1t embraces much value. in
small compass, and is therefore con-
venient to handle.
8. Its production is increasing and
constant, keeping pace, with the
growth of population and the de-
mands of business.
8. Its real value can not be affected
by legislation or by legislators, who
may have pecuniary interests in max
ing or modifying monetary laws
TO- Lastly and largely because a
gold standard is in the interests of a
large circulating medium. Not sim
gle country having the free and I'M
country having the silver standard
has any appreciable amount of either
gold or paper money in circulation.
Few of them have anything at all but
silver. There is little doubt that the
adoption of free and unlimited coin
age of silver by this country would re-
suit in driving all the gold and much
of the paper money out of circulation.
The experience of other nations justi-
fies this belief and, if this be true.
and we firmly believe it would be. the
contraction of the circulating medi-
UNI would be unprecedented in times
of peace. The gold standard as a
basis for our measure of values
with as large and as free use of sill
yer and paper as can be fioated with
safety has given us good satisfaction
in the past and its continuance is
feasible and practicable.
