since sailing Sunday afternoon. Three
hours after leaving New York a stiff north
east wind rose that soon developed into
a fearful gale, and the experience of the
crew and passengers until last night was
something they never want to go through
again. One of the passengers was w. NJ
Lathrop, editor of the Carbondale (Pa.)
Leader, and he to-day told the following
story to a reporter: THE passengers be-
haved well, though badly frightened, un-
til about midnight, when the rudder-chain
snapped, leaving the boat without guiding
power for many minutes OF that moment
Capt. Brakeman said afterwards: L
would not have given 10 cents for all the
lives on board at that time. When, after
terrible experience with waves and over
tapping waves, the rudder-chain was re-
paired and the boat rigged, the hopeless
passengers took some new courage, but
an hour later, when it broke again, every
one, If the truth be told gave up COM

revolver to shoot himself and another of

would guarantee him safely in port No
one took his offer, however and he still

A PiUtocratio Papers Fear Of the Common
People.
The bottom fact is that an appeal to the Meth
er forces of civilized society always involves
dangerous possibilities, which cannot be &C
curately measured or safely ignored.-New
York Tribune.
So The Tribune is afraid that an ap-
peal TO the farmers and mechanics-the
people who work from day to day for
their living involves dangerous pos
sibilities." Surely there can benz other
Interpretation Of its language, for the
neither forces of civilized society" are
the common people just as the upper
forces are the plutocrats.
But whether The Tribune is right or
wrong depends upon its view of "dan-
gerous possibilities"
When the sturdy yoemanry of the
American colonies undertook to throw
off the British yoke, the silk stockinged,
gold laced plutocrats thought it in
voived dangerous possibilities" Their
cry was, "What do these ignorant plow
joggers want to make trouble for?" If
the upper and not the neither class
could have had their way, we should
have been under British rule to-day.
When the common people-thenether
forces of civilized sOciety-undertookt to
elect Abraham Lincoln in 1860, the up
per forces of society also thought it
wouldinvolve dangerous possibilities"
But Lincoln was elected, and if he had
not been the country to-day would be
permanently rent in twain.
Every great reform recorded in his
tory has sprung from the neither class
of society"-the common peopls-and
was opposed by the class which The
Tribune represents.
But why has not The Tribune the
courage to come out and express its
real feelings? Why does it not admit
that it hates the common people as
much as it fears them and that if it
could have its way it would even deny
them the right to vote.

WHEN GOLD was CHEAP.

It is a point we'll worth noting that
in the seven OF eight years-1S49-56-
that gold, according to the best au-
thorities, lost % per cent of its value,
the world accommodated itself very
easily to the change. The only Outcry
was from the holders of fixed indebted
ness, and they wanted to demOnetize
gold because it was too cheap. We
heard very little about that in this
country and the masses of our people
did not even know it, because we had
then no permanent creditor class, no
great bondholders, but the literature
of Europe at the time was full Of COM
plants, and Austria, Germany and
Belgium actually demonetized gold.
On the other hand, the rapid increase
in the value of gold within the last 20
years has wrought worldwide bank
ruptcy, has brought a vail of distress
from producers in all lands, has again
and again shaken the very foundations
of credit throughout the British en-
pire, and right now, according to DR.,
Eduard Suess, threatens a redivision of
the earth. In short, contraction is very
many times more destructive than
initiation.
"But the monometallists deny that
there has been any contraction, or that
gold cheapened in 1886, OF that it
has really appreciated in value since
1870"
Oh, yes, they'll deny anything now.
Macaulay has we'll said that if a prop
erty interest we're affected by it thou
sands of intelligent men would deny
the law of gravitation. Only a few
years ago some of the greatest scholars
in this country denied that a man
whose skin was black and his hair
wOolly had a natural right to the fruits
of his labor or that a married woman
had a right to her own earnings.

been very aggressive in denying the
