San Francisco, Nov. 2a-The inventor
Of the mysterious air ship which mas
been puzzling local scientists and others
for the past week is believed TO be one
"Dr. E. H. Benjamin" an alleged dent
ist, who has occupied rooms in an FL
lis street lodging house for the past two
years. but so far he has successfully
evaded all attempts to discover his lden-
tity. His attorney, Collins. when seen
yesterday, and pressed to tell something
further about the alleged inventor and
bis machine, said:
This morning the inventor came to
my Office in the Croker building and
told me that he had tested the merits
Of the ship in last nights storm with the
greatest success. The wind currents
we're very contrary and the test was one
that tried the merits of the machine In
the hardest possible manner, but II came
out OF the ordeal in good order, having
breasted the storm as well as any bird.
He started from the locality where
the vessel is housed and few over Ahe-
Sraz and cut through the Golden Gate,
skirting the Cliff house, and returning
by the same route across the bay. he
lowered over the seal rocks for fully
ten minutes and played his SedrcnllSHt
on the seals themselves. His intention
is to make another trip this evening,
probably over the same ground, running
on mis- return trip as far as Sacramento.
A dispatch we received from Sacra-
mento last night to the effect that hum
dreds Of people there had again seen
the mysterious meteor in the heavens,
but as yet no one has been able TO see
the object sufficiently to state definitely
what it is.
THIS IS ANOTHER STORY.
San Francisco. Cal, Nov. 23.-The
story of the air ship is not generally
credited. The inventor cannot be
found and those who are reputed to have
eeen it are not willing to give definite
testimony. George D. Collins, the at
torney whose name has been connected
with the inventor as applicant for pat
ent, admits that he was retained for
such service but ridicules the story OF
the Sacramento flying machine. He
says that story is a fake but declares
that his client is working on a machine
which is a combination of aeroplane and
Nailless kite. Attorney Collins, however,
says ne has not seen the flying machine
and he discredits its alleged perform
ances. The name of the inventor is still
withheld and he cannot be found.

The intelligent, thinking voter,
who is not strongly preiudiced by
party ties, can not but observe that
the free silver democrats have been
compelled to abandon one argument
after another. Their whole issue
was at first based upon ''the crime
OF 'T3. which struck down half our
MONEY!" Well, that lasted about as
long as the proverbial SNOWFALL in
n furnace. History and facts prove
there was no crime committed. This
il now admitted by Senator Teller
and it's reiteration has ceased with
the most able silver speakers. And
when one realizes that we only had
about $1G0,O00,00O all told in sill
yer in 1878, and that we now have
S625. 900, 900 in silver, it is evident
that there was no striking down OF
one half our money. Is it any Won
der the silver wave has died out?
No. 1t was based upon error, and
when that is known, us it Is now,
there is nothing much left OF the sill
YER question. And then, reader, you
can not help but observe again that
the democrats have absolutely no
other issue to present to the people,
They are completely whipped upon
the free silver dodge, and are simply,
keeping up "a semblance Of fight until
election day.
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1896-10-01

In one section OF the country, the
Bryanites tell the people that free
coinage will give them more money
and "a cheap dollar.'' In another
section they say silver will come
up to equal its price OF years ago.
These two arguments are diamet-
REALLY opposed to each other. II we
had the 53 cent cheap dollar, silver
would not raise. Ii silver raised we
would not have the cheap dollar.
And, in addition to this, all history
proves that cheap money drives out
dear money. So if we had free coin
age of the "cheap dollar all our
gold would disappear, and instead OF
having 81, ,2O0,O00,000 gold and
silver, as now, we would have S625,-
100000 silver alone.

Some OF the claims made by demo-
Gratis as to what states they will car
ry are really grotesque. The smart
est Of them know now that Bryan is
badly defeated, but they fear to ad-
NIT it for party's sake. However,
such an idea is all nonsense. There
is no use for man TO make foolish
statements because ne is on the
wrong side.

While Mr.. Bryan and his speakers
keep talking for bimetalism, it is well
to remember that the Chicago con-

some Facts abOit Money.


/. The law of 1878 did not con-
tract the currency OF the United
States by so much as a penny.
2. The currency OF the country j.
now three times as much as it was III
1870, and the poorest dollar we haye
now is as good as the best dollar we
had then
3. From 1878 to 1892 the United
States enjoyed the greatest prosperi-
ty that has eyer been experienced by
this or any other nation since histo-
ry has been written.
4. Neither the act of 1878 norany
act since has driven dollar of silver
out of circulation nor lessened the
power of any silver dollar
). This country has coined so
times as many silver dollars since
1878 as it did prior to that time,
and every dollar coined since is as
good as any dollar coined before.
6. This country has more silver
money in gross, and more per capita
than any free silver country in the
world
Z. Every silver dollar eyer coined
by this government, whether before
or since 1878, is full legal tender for
any debt in the United States. The
legal tender quality of silver dollars
has never been abridged except dur
ing the five years from 1873 to
1878.
8. In this country silver circulates
side by side with gold, and q silver
dollar will buy as much OF any
kind of property as gold dollar,
but this is not true of any free silver
country
8. A silver dollar will buy twice
as much of any kind of property in
the United States as it will in any
free silver country ON earth.
10. The per capita circulation of
money in the United States is BIB per
cent more than it is inGreat Britain.
II. Mexico has free and unlimited
coinage OF silver, but one American
silver dollar will buy two Mexican
silver dollars, even in Mexico
- The wages OF laborers are
much higher in the United States
than in Mexico, and the cost of liv-
ing is less.
Is. The worlds coinage of gold
alone has averaged more this year
for the last p years than the coin
age OF gold and silver combined the
previous 80 years.
16. This country had free coinage
of both metals for so years, but it
never had the concurrent circulation
of gold and silver till 1879.
II. This country is under the sim
Gle gold standard now, has been SO
legally since 1874, and has been SO
practically since 1894.
Is. The last official treasury
statement issued which is up to July
1st, 1896, gives the amount of mon
ey now in circulation in the United
States as follows:
Gold coins. $500, 100000
Silver coins................... 625, 100000
Paper money. ............ 3S3, 100000

SHORTHAND AND TYPFWRITJNG.
Decentralization of Silver.

Silver was not demonetized by a con-
spiracy nor clandestinely; neither have
the results been as they are claimed by
the free silver men.
Silver was dcmonetized by Great
Britain 100 years ago because it fuctu-
ated, because two yardsticks of I'M
equal length or two bushels Of changing
quantity is an absurdity, an obstacle to
business and commerce.
All the civilized nations have tried
the same experiment with the double
standard, have found it a delusion and
a snare and have come to the single
gold standard as a better thing.
The civilized world is now using
more silver has sounder money and
lower interest than ever before in the
history of mankind.
The attempt to return to the double
standard is reactionary, illogical and
irrational and will not succeed. Revo-
buttons 60 forward, not backward. -
