HOW PETE SALES MADE CAP
ITAL OUT OF ACCUSATIONS
AGAINST HIS HONESTY.

Pete Sales, the butcher, is dead. At
least that is what all of his old friends and
neighbors say, and they ought to know.
The sad event caused feeling of genuine
regret in the vicinity of Broadway and
Montgomery avenue, where Pete had lived
for over quarter of century.
Years ago Pete was prominent man,
liked by everybody for his jolly good ma
ture and keen appreciation of joke. He
had porkstore on the corner of Dupont
and Adler streets, that was then the only

THE GOLD PRODUCT.

Likely to Be Larger Than Ever for the
Next Fifty Years.
1t is now evident that the production of
gold for the next fifty years will be alto
gether Unprecedented. This production
has been vigorously stimulated by fresh
discoveries of mines, by new and cheap
mining processes and by the fall of silver,
leading miners to pay greater attention to
the other metal. The operation of the

A GARDEN ON A WHARF.
Pleasing but Unusual Sight on th
Banks of Oakland Creek.

OI Oakldnu SFeek
Land is SO plentiful in California that
such thing as garden on a wharf is a
most unusual sight. But there is one on
the banks of Oakland Creek, close to the
shipyards and it gives a pleasing bit of
color to the practical and barren surround
ings.
The garden belongs to Mrs. McLaren,
wife of al McLaren, the boat builder. Al
has been there a long time, and once there
was no garden on the wharf where he
does his work. That was before he got
married and brought his wife to make her
home where he had made his for years.
The first thing Mrs. McLaren wanted
was q garden, as she had been used to
flowers all her life But there was ap-
parently no place to make one, as all the
land about the house that was not covered
with boats in course of construction was
barren sand. She grew few flowers in

Our Ships the Best.

The Vulcan. 6629 tons, with a radius of
action of II 900 miles at ten knots an hour,
or 5000 at eighteen Knots, is regarded as
one of the most capable ships in the
British navy. Her French compeer is the
Tage, 1855 tons, which has radius of $500
miles at ten knots. The Italia Is, 600 tons.
Italys best ship, has a. coal capacity of
S036 miles at ten knots an hour. From
this it will be seen that no European navy
has any vessel that can compare with the
Oregon and other vessels of the United
States navy, which can steam 10000 miles
at ten knots an hour.

A Serious Experiment..

The free coinage of silver and the sub
stitution OF new unit and measure of
value for the existing one in the bust
ness transactions of the country are
not an ordinary experiment which can
be safely tried to-day and abandoned
tomorrow if found injurious, because
the immediate consequences of such a
step would be SO far-reaching and so
enduring that they would continue TO
be felt for years after the policy had
been reversed. 1t is incumbent, there
fore, upon those who insist up
on the adoption of this rev.
dictionary policy to show plainly
and conclusively in advance not only
that it would result in no injury, but
that it would be positively beneficial,
for if not positively beneficial the
change would at least be wholly use
less. This cannot be done by appeals
to the excited passions and prejudices
of the people, by attempts to array one
class of our citizens or one section of
our country against another or by loose
and eXtravagant statements unsup-
ported by facts and reasons. The ques-
tons involved are too serious, the inter-
ests to be affected are too large, and the
common sense of the people is too
strong to justify or even excuse this
course of treatment. - Hon. John G..
Carlisle.

Splendid Addresses Delivered to a Large
Audience.
Hon. Cbas. w. Ogden presided
at last nights Sound Money Re-
publican meeting in Beethoven
hall and Hon. Geo. H. Noonan,
Capt. Thos. F. Winthrop and Prof.
Cox occupied seats on the stage.
Prof. Cox spoke first and was fol:
lowed by Judge Noonan, whose
appearance was greeted by an out.
burst Of applause that amounted
to a perfect ovation from the
large audience.
The Judge devoted the first part
of his address to q scrutiny OF the
presidential race and OF the falla-
cies of the Chicago PopocratiC
platform. He showed why the
election Of the Republican ticket
would be the only thing proper to
place our country at the head of
the march of progress and put 1t
upon firm financial basis.
Another portion Of his address
was devoted to the Sound Money
principles Of his party and to the
question Of the tariff and pro-
lection of home industries. This
was bringing him home to his own
campaign and after fully expound'
ing the benefits Of protection, he
gave way amid great applause, to
Capt. Winthrop, who delivered a
splendid speech calculating Sound

THE WAGE-EARNERS GAMBLE,
A Foolish Proceeding for Men Who Toll
for Their Living.


Wage earners should not gamble with
their wages. Certainly they should not
do so when the dice are loaded against
them, and it is case of "heads win
and tails you lose" He can win nothing,
but may lose much, if he CANDLES with
the silver mine owners and takes tips
from the free silver politicians.
No silverite claims that free coinage
would raise actual wages. The most
they say is that the wage-earner would
not lose much in the purchasing power
of his wages and that he would be likely
to have steadier work when the more
money" period is reached. Perhaps.
But what should most concern those
who exchange labor for dollars is that
their dollars should not shrink in value.
Looking at the question in the light of
history and of reason, it appears practi-
cally certain that the sixteen to one
free coinage dollar would purchase only
about half as much as the present dol
lar.
The Mexican dollar is free coinage
legal tender dollar which contains more
silver than would ours, yet 1T purchases
only half as much as gold dollar. This
is true of all other free silver countries.
Everywhere the value of the coin is
measured by the value of the bullion in
it.
If the price of silver should rise to
S1.29 an ounce in gold, the wage-earner
would neither lose nor gain by free
coinage. If, as is certain, the price does
not rise but little or not at all, then the
wage Garner has lost half of his wages
until he can by threats and strikes in
duce his employer to raise wages. His
own and his family's food, shelter and
clothing are at stake. He CANDLES with
them when there is nothing to be won,
but probably poverty and starvation if
he loses. VIII he enter into such an I'M
fair game?

Sally after sally was made by the

finding themselves hopelessly in
