The American people, from tradi-
ton and interest, favor bimetallism,
and the Republican party demands
the use of both gold and silver as
standard money, with such restiic-
tons and under such provisions, to be
determined by legislation, as will Sc
cure the maintenance of the parity Of
values of the two metals so that the
purchasing and debt paying power Of
the dollar, whether of gold, silver or
paper, shall be at all times equal
The interests Of the producers of the
country, its farmers and its working
men. demand that every dollar. paper
o coin, issued by the government
shall be as good as any other. We
commend the wise and patriotic steps
already taken by our government to
secure an international conference to
adopt such measures as will insure a
parity of value between gold and sill
yer for use as money throughout the
world.

In the Fraser river occurred last night

railway men as somewhat dangerous. ow-
Ing TO slides. During the high water OF
1871 no damage was done here. Il seems
that the water had washed away the
bank. leaving the rails and ties in place.
The engineer In the dark did not notice
this. and ran into the fatal spot. with
the result that the engine and eight cars
went into the river. Engineer Carey and
Fireman Coughlin Jumped and escaped
with few minor injuries. but Brakeman
Dearden was never seen again. and Is
probably buried beneath the wreckage In

on and or for some time. It was not his

exchanged places with another brakeman
who had hurt his leg.
Reports from Fraser river points state
that the river II steadily rising. At
Chiiliwack considerable damage has been
done to crops on low lying lands. and the
steamer Gladys has been busily engaged

wherever the low levels are not fully pro-
tectec by high bikes, they are under wa

bly, be under water in manv parts IL the

expressed that even IL the waters recede
very soon the aggregate amount OF loss

Word has just been received from New
Westminster that the water at high tide
