blow was averted by the arrival of
Brompton Edwards, another English

After week had been been given

GOLDEN FRUITS.
The Bond Sale Severe Blow to Free
Silver Sophistry.


Silver sophistry.
The overwhelming, astounding, un-
Precedented, magnificent success of the
bond sale will accomplish number of
grand results, of incalculable benefit
to our country.
1t will remove the most potent of the
sophistries by which plain, honest,
patriotic people have been seduced, in
numerous instances, to support the
free-silver coinage wickedness and fol-
ly. That sophistry consists in arguing
that "goldbugs' in this country and
Europe have got n corner on the yellow
metal. The tens of thousands of bid
ders ready and eager to hand over gold
for bonds have effectually disposed of
the 'goldbug" bogy.
1t will smite the free-silver craze in
another manner, by disproving the as
sertion that there is not gold enough
| in existence, or at any rate in this coun-
try, to serve as n standard of values.
| The bond bids demonstrate that there
is in this country, in the hands of Amer
lean citizens who will freely lend it to
the government at less than the prevail
ing commercial rates of interest. five
or six times as much gold as is needed
to maintain the gold standard.
Finally, best of all, beyond all, it
will stop the mouths of domestic and
foreign foes who would have liked to
make 7O,O00,O00 of Americans believe
that the United States could not safely
stand up for our country's honor, dig
nifty and well-being when confronted
and affronted by foreign arrogance and
insolence. The offer of $5s,O0o,00O in
gold in response to a call for bids to
take up an issue of $1Oo,oOO,OOo of tonds
is an object lesson for those who say
we are dependent in peace or war on
the will of European money lenders.-

the Facts.
The resolutions adopted by the free
silver conference at Washington, as u
platform on which to nominate and vote
for candidates at the next presidential
election, constitute a wordy mass OF
misstatement of the financial situation.
They contain one admission which
probably crcpt in through an over
sight, 1t is that "the American debtor
pays his just obligations in an honest
standard" So he does, and that is the
standard according TO which his obli-
cations were incurred. Practically all
the now current Indebtedness was in.
Cured since the resumption of gold
payments II years ago, and much the
greater part since the bullion value of
the silver in the silver dollar fell to less
than so cents. So it is no more than
honest to pay them in dollars each OF
which is worth 100 cents in gold.
But about all the other statements
made in the resolutions are at var-
ance with the facts. 1t is entirely un-
true that the paramount issue in the

tween the gold standard and the BIZ

zation of silver in 1873 has cut down
prices nearly SO per cent, destroyed

the non-produccr, increased the burden
of the debtor, paralyzed the productive
energies of the American people, or

On the contrary, the only fall in
prices which occurred in the 20 years
next following 1873 was due to inven-
tions of laborsaving machinery, to int

tion and transportation as measured
in units of human labor. 1t is notori,
Gus fact that it takes more gold to pay
days labor now than it did in 1873 or
at any time previous to 1878. Meas
ured by the real standard of values,
which is human labor, gold has lost in
purchasing power ever since the Cali

PERU A RICH COUNTRY.
Valuable Extracts from a Recent
Official Document.
All Climates on the Face of the Earth
Are Illustrated in the Climates of
the Interesting South AmerI-
can Republic.
[speciel Washington Letter.l


Under authority of the department
of state, an official bulletin has recent
ly been issued by the bureau of Ameri-
an republics concerning the geog-
raphy, history, financial condition,
agricultural products, minerals, poll
tics and commerce of Peru. IL is a
small pamphlet and contains very much
of interest to the people of our own
country.
Although the distance from New
York to Lima is 1890 miles, the Peru
Wan capital is only $50 miles west of
the American metropolis of the coast.
The ocean trip is described rs a
straight run south to the east end of
Cuba, where the ship passes SO close
to land that passengers can see the
lighthouse keeper, his wife and chill
dren watching the ships that pass. On
clear day, at this point, the peaks of
Haiti can easily be seen, although they
are so miles away. From Cuba to
Colon is regarded as an exceedingly
uncomfortable trip. The lazy winds
blow from the north, but so slowly
that they barely keep up with the ship;
miles.
After a railroad ride of so miles
crossing the Isthmus of Panama, the
traveller to Peru must take a ship in
the South Pacific ocean and sail over
the exact course pursued by Pizarro in
1881 to the Peruvian ports which are
due south of Panama. All along the
coast of Peru there is Zona SEGA or
dry zone, which is singularly sterile
because it adjoins land of almost
boundless fertility. AS the ship steams
along the bleak and forbidding coast
occasional valleys open up to view; and
there can be seen the immense planta.
tions of sugar cane, bright fields of
maize and alfalfa; verdure all the
more brilliant by reason of it's contrast
with the arid sterile coast.
The republic of Peru is about 1oC

leaving their deposits OF moisture along
the different zones as they climb the
mountains; SO that when they reach
the coast the last vestige of moisture
has been wrung from them and they are
no longer clouds, but dry parts of the
sweeping winds, and the desert plains
remain sterile, and must probably re-
main so forever. Thus the Montana

ings have been made, becomes excellent

CATION. The next higher zone, the ST.
ezra, is charming climate and yields
readily to the hands of the husband
man. The Puma, as the higher country
is called, is cheerless zone, too cold for
vegetation.
The thermometer registers every
degree of natural heat. In Lima
the mercury goes down to 40 de-
grees in the mid-winter month
of July; and it sometimes rises
as high as 90 in the summer month of
January. The winter weather is damp
and chilly, making overcoats necessary.
The old Spaniards oppose the use Of
artificial heat, but some of the newer
houses are being supplied with fire.
places.
Earthquakes are seldom experienced
in northern Peru, but suboceanic ir-
ruptions have been disastrous, some'
times destroying coast cities. In 1868
Arequipa was damaged by the ripple
of distant earthquake wave, but the
damage resulted mainly from the old
time Spanish architecture. The houses
were of stone with arched roofs, which
speedily tumbled when shaken; while
lighter houses of modern architecture
were scarcely disturbed by the quake.
The fauna Peruviana," as cata-
logued in 1881, contained 10000 differ
ent specimens, including many birds
of passage. The waters of the Pacific
coast teem with fish; the corbina, not
known in the northern temperate zone,
being of rare delicacy and weighing
from six to ten pounds. There are also
skate, sole, place, haddock, cou, toun-
ders, smelts and Spanish mackerel in
great abundance. The streams pro-
duce sArimps and prawns of enormous
pound, and all of them of excellent
flavor. Wherever the shores are rocky
Holsters are found. Upon the desert
! coast are found the iguana, large liz
ard, and many smaller varieties; and
also there abound foxes, hares, rabbits,
