THE JOURNAL receives and pays for

THE JOURNAL advocates protection

not advocate gold-plated bimetallism,

Both are ruinOus TO the common

Nuta for secre,ary 70 craek.

A correspondent OF the "Ohio
Farmer" asks questions OF Secretary
Carlisle as follows:
The secretary says OF the laborlng
man;
"Can he prosper when the fluctua-
tions OF currency are such that he can
not certainly know the value of a dol
lar in which his wages are paid?"
Question:: Was there much "huctua-
tlon In the value" OF gold and silver
dollars as long as both were standard
money!"
The secretary further says: you
are asked by the advocates OF free
coinage 10 join them In destroying
one-half OF the purchasing power Of
the money In which you are paid"
Question; How much difference will
there be In the purchasing power of n
gold or silver dollar II both are stand
ard money?
The secretary further says "The
attempt to maintain what is called
the double standard OF value, that is,
the attempt TO keep the legal tender
coins of the two metals, gold and sill
yer, In use as money at the same time,
upon ratio OF value fixed by law, has
repeatedly been made by kings aud
parllaments In every civilized country
In the world, and IL has failed IN
every one Of them" Question; Was
there any such serious failures IN the
United States so long as "the at
tempt" was adhered top
lie declares In favor OF the use OF
silver at parity with gold. Ques
tlon; How can permanent parity
be maintained, unless both are legally
regarded as standard money, rea
money, money Of final redemption

He IN one of those who contend thai
a parity can he maintained by giving
the payee the option 10 choose whlcl
he swill take; the theory has beer

the secretary quotes the silver In /
silver dollar at 50 cents. Question
Is he right?

silver at the public expense" Ques
tlon; Does he or anybody else Oppose

BOTH LEGS AMPUTATED,
Terrible Accident to Joseph
Pagan, a Boy II Years
of Age.
Found on the Side of the Southern
Pacific Track on Harrison
Street.

Joseph Pagan. boy II years of age liv-
ing with his parents at Alameda street,
had both of his legs amputated at the City
and County Hospital last night by Drs.
Stable and Dudley.
At $3.50 O'Clock Joe Wilbron. 2717 How.
ard street, notified the Seventeenth-street
police station that boy was lying on the
side Of the Southern Pacific track on Har-
rison street, between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth, with both legs fearfully
crushed. Policemen Connolly and Stat
terry were sent with the patrol wagon and
conveyed the boy to the hospital.
He was almost unconscious from ex-
cessive pain, and it was with difficulty the
surgeons could get from him his
name and address. Then he was put un-
der anesthetics and his legs were am
putated, the right near the knee and the
left near the ankle.
How the accident occurred is so far a
mystery. A freight train leaves Third and
Townsend streets at 9 o'clock and it is
presumed that young Pagan had been
stealing ride on it, and in jumping of
had fallen with his legs under the wheels.
No one saw the accident, and how long
he had lain there before he was discovered
is not known. He may have fallen off an
incoming train or been stealing a ride
on it.
The surgeons are doubtful if he can re-
cover from his fearful injuries, although
being SO young he may pull through.

THE BIG MATCH TOMORROW
Berkeley, Stronger Than Ever Before,
Will Try to Break Her Old
Hoodoo.

The Varsity nine at the Stanford Uni
verslty in tiding over what is to the Pale
Alto team an off year in baseball is relying
upon the skill of its only remaining vet
eran player, McLaine, its captain and
pitcher, to hold the championship from
the University of California and to com
plete an unbroken record of five years
supremacy over the blue and gold on the
baseball field.
Tomorrow afternoon the two university
mines meet on the campus at Berkeley for
the first of a series of three games TO de-
eide the annual championship. 1t is gen.
orally conceded by the partisans of both
teams that this year California has the
most favorable opportunity she has yet
possessed to demolish the Berkeley hoo
doc on baseball.
McLaine is naturally pitcher. As q
child uD in the little mining town OF Vol
cano, Amador County. where he was born
twenty-five years ago, he showed g.
markable accuracy in throwing stones, and
later, when his parents moved to San
Francisco and he entered st. Mathew s
Hall at San Mateo, his skill gained him
immediate recognition as the phenomenal
young pitcher of his school, a reputation
that remained with him up to the time OF
his graduation in '91. For several years
he occupied the box in every game that
his school team played with Belmont
School, the University of the Pacific, Trim
ity School and the local mines of the towns
in the Santa Clara Valley. And those
were the days when baseball was at its ze-
NTH.
In 1892 he entered Stanford and made
the Varsity in his freshman year. Now, in
his senior year, he is in the fourth season.
This year, while the Berkeley team has
been more fortunate than formerly, it has
not received any additions from other col
leges, whereas the best new man ON the
Stanford Varsity was on the Vanderbilt
University team last year. and another ad-
dition is the brother of "Pick" Sharp, the
professional ball-player.
McLaine is not W hat is called "strike-
out pitcher" He depends more upon his
careful control in placing the ball Just
where the batter will be least able to get
at it for an effective hit. His best curve is
a high in that shoots suddenly so close to
the batter's neck that if he succeed in hit
ting it he does so close up on the handle
of the bat.
McLaine is nephew of Henry Croker
of this City and at college is member of
the Fiji fraternity and of the senior society
of Sigma Sigma.
If tomorrow is a very warm day there
should be an exhibition of pitching, for it
takes hot weather for pitcher TO perform
at his best.
The San Francisco call., 1896-04-21

ana since 1T was planted there have beer
peen some bad frosts in the valley, but the
superintendent, L. Vasconi, writes thai
this year there will be but half CROP
sunday night, he says, robbed the vines o1
nan the newly formed punches. and
should 1t be frosty again Monday night
almost tne entire crop would be ruined.
FROM Napa Valley there came the news
1hat there was but little better prospect,
ana In the southern part of the State the
coio nngers of the frost have robbed the
ralsln vine and the wine vine alike.
Ihere is this to say, however. in mitiga-
tlon OF the damage done-without it prices
would have dropped badly, for the indica-
lions all pointed TO very full crop. Prices
were not very high before the frost, and
the prospect was that they would fall
much lower if the crop materialized.
MT. SDarboro of the Italian-Swiss colony
IS OF the opinion that while the frost was
bad one its effect has been to raise the
price SO high as to almost compensate for
the loss of the crop.
I'VE have never had any serious frost
since we organized the colony" he said
last evening, ''but the superintendent
writes me very hopeless letter." and he
reao the note already quoted. THE
erect, however, has been to raise the
price OF grapes very materially, for
little while ago but $16 and SIS were
ollered. Grapes have not been so high
since 1881. Then $25 and $50 were offered,
put since then there has been steady de-
cline. The California Wine-makers' As
soclatlon did much to keep the prices up.
Dut even with that association the prices
nave remained low. / believe that we will
nave but half a crop, and we are well
situated as regards frost. What then
must be the condition of others?
Il think, also, that the prices of wine
Will follow the prices of grapes. We have
been shipping a great deal of wine
East under the low frelghts, and most
of the small cellars, and, indeed, the
large ones, toe, are empty, or nearly
so. The ruling prices have been
about 15 cents, but this must go
up with the price of grapes. There was
danger from the outlook early in the year
that there would be too big a crop, that
the grapes would come in in such quanti-
ties as to swamp the market, but the frost
has stopped this, and if there is nothing
else there will be at least good prices. |
would not be surprised if prices would go
even to $50 ton."
Reports from Healdsburg, parts of
santa Clara, Sonoma, Fresno and other
wine and vine districts show that prices
are advancing rapidly, and the man who
has a good crop of grapes has the
chance OF lifetime. The prices are
higher than they have been in
