THE GOLD Standard.

For twenty-three years we have
had the gold dollar als the monetary
standard of this country.
What is the result?
Wages have fallen, prices have
fallen, lack of employment has Gre
ated an army OF unemployed which is
a standing menace to those who have
an opportunity to earn living. We
have seen the small producer swept
ava! by the encroachments Of the
trust, and men in special or partlcu-
lar line of business wiped out by the
de- artment store. We have seen the
middle class swept away, who by
economy and industry had raised
themselves above the position Of mere
wage carriers, and while the pauper-
izing of the majority of the people has
been going on, the number and wealth
of the millionaires has been steadily
growing.
What do we infer from a system
that has enriched few at the ex-
pense of the many?
The only conclusion that we can
come to is that it is a nefarious sys-
tenn, framed in iniquity and propagat-
ed by fraud. And this is what we
are asked to retain.
Every specie of sophistry, every de.
lusive argument. every trick aud lie,
will be resorted TO, to prove that it did
not do that which we knew by actual
experience that 1t did do. There are
people sowanting in common decency
80 blinded by their own selfish inter-
ests that they will stand up and tell
people that to perpetuate this Vicious
system will bring about an era of
prosperity. When you ask them why
it has not done 30 in the past, or why
after trial of twenty-three years we
are poorer as people than when sill
yer was demonetized. you are put off
with few platitudes about slack of
confidence" etc. If the gold standard
has failed to take root in all those
years, and if it totters and a panic is
precipitated at the mere mention OF a
change, it shows that the thing is un-
suited to our climate, that it is what
we know itjto be, Of foreign growth
which has been forced upon us by the
house OF Rothschilds and their agents
in this country. From the Atlantic

Turkey that Minister Terrill will be per-
mitted to have the naval support of ship
flying the stars and stripes near his lega-
ton. 1t appeared, however, that the ad-
m Illustration has plated for some
time the dispatch of the Bancroft to Con-
stantinople, as shown by letter addressed
by Mavroyeni Bey, the Turkish Minister,
to Secretary Olney last January, in which
Mavroyeni says:
His Excellency, Tewfik Pasha, has just
informed me that the Sublime Porte re-
grets that 1t cannot comply with Mr. Ter
rill's request for permission for the Ban
croft to pass throug the strait. that vessel
having been authorized to remain at the
disposal OF the United States legation at
ConstantinopIe.

the earnest and sincere desire of the I'm
perial Government to do all in its power to
strengthen. if possible, the ties of friend

that your Excellency will be seased to
take the foregoing into consideration
If any reply was made to this letter or if
any correspondence followed or preceded
it that correspondence is not obtainabbe.

first step in the administration programme

faction for 100000 indemnity made last
November for the destruction of the
American College and other property at
Harpoot, and similar demand for the
burning of the college at Marash. 1t is
believed this will be enforced before the
close of the present year.
The cruiser Bancroft's main battery
consists of four 4-inch rapid-fre rifles and
number of small secondary weapons
and two torpedo tubes. She carries ten
officers and 120 men. In all respects she
is warship of the highest class in minia-
ture, equal in appearance to the finest
vessels in foreign navies. For her size
she is probably the most formidable of
United States naval vessels.

lift the mole tonight for Los Angeles in
it's special train. A large crowd gathered
to see the stalwarts depart, and it was

The train is a study of tariff and finance,
and it is almost pity that it's speed will
not be slow, so that he who runs may read.

Powers.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Aug. 2S.-The
President has decided to send a warship to
Constantinople, and the little cadet prac-
tice ship Bancroft has been selected as the
first American naval vessel since the rati-
fication of the treaty of Paris to pass the
Bosphorus and anchor in the Golden
H orn opposite the gardens of the seraglio
The administration having reached the
decision that the presence of United
States war vessel was imperatively de-
manded at Constantinople to perform
duty similar to that OF the guardships
maintained th ere by England and France
and other European powers, and the
Turkish laws resting on the treaty of
Paris forbidding vessel of over six guns
to enter the Bosphorus, the Bancroft
alone was found available for the service
required.
1t impossible to learn tonight whether
any assurances have been received from
