silver aud Gold nsrnrr ls1a.

In the good old days OF silver
which means before 1873, which means
aSRIn when we had no silver dollars in
clrculatlon-wc went on coming gold
just us though we had never heard OF a
silver dollar. How much more gold
than silver did wee make into dollars In
the good old days OF silver?"
We coined one hundred and fifteen
times as many gold dollars as silver
dollars from the beginning OF the gov
eminent down to 1879. The silver dollar
was not a thssG to cola and use In those
days.
1t was n thing to let slide then and to
snort and swear about in these later
days. when silver has taken 4 tumble,
and the whanS-doodle mourneth in the
Rockies and the bonanza king refuseth
TO be comfortcd with less than twice the
market price Of his product. That Is
what is the matter with silver in these
tImea.

News York World CDcm.): Q.-What
kind OF u country is Honduras? Alt
Is u little larger than Ohio, n little small
er than Illinois. with mineral and aSri-
cultural wealth almost beyond belief.
The plains and valleys grow every
thing cultivated anywhere in the world.
the mountains are rich in every kind OF
ore and the climate Is perfect
Q.-What Is its government? Alt
Is an independent republic modelled al
ter ours: liberal, progressive and en-
t"rpTisIng.
Q.-What is its population? AIN
1887 ii was 23l,9lT.
Q.-What kind OF money has II always
used? A.-Silvcr.
Q.-When did that make any differ
cnce In It's trade? About 1889 the
silver specie basis had become pcrma-
nently established. Previously silver
and gold having been mt parity, there
had been no trouble with the silver
money.
Q.-What was the first effect Of a sill
yer basis? A.-GCneral staEnation and
u falling off In exports md imports.
0.-Cun you give the exact figures?
AIN 1859 the exports were 50. 800. 900. in
1891 they were 81 900 900. in 1892 they
were $l,S75.0O0, In 1895 they were only
81 800, 900. To the United States they
have dropped from $3,0S6, $40 In 1889 to
1854. $50 In 1895.

alton Of the peso n 20 cents; in 1895 1t
as cents. Gold was quoted In Hondu-
rncan money at 1872 on July Is. Tho
value Of all commodities varies with the
price of silver In London. Transactions
Involving small profits are impossible.
Profits must cover fluctuations IN sill
yer.
o.-What are the imports from the
United States? A.-Brcadstufs, tools.
and machinery. England supplies the
cheaper grades of cotton goods because
our manufacturers vii not make what
Honduras wants
Q.-Whlt effect has this had on the
masses generally? A.-Thc peso to-day
buys only Onc-hnlf what II bought six
years ago. Wages and salaries have
not yet begun TO rise. There. are no
manufactures in the country and the
price Of everything imported has dou-
bIcd.
Odd Honduras want n silver cur
rcnCy? A.-No. She was caught In the
silver trap.

RoUsIEG RATIFICATION.



Special Correspondence.
kEYSER, ". Va. Aug. 3-Saturday
was Il gala day for the Republicans OF
Mineral county. \ rousiuG ratification
meeting was held M this place In the at
tern0on and at night. The court house
was packed In the afternoon to hear
Hon. g. w. Atkinson. candidate for gov
ernoF, discuss the issues OF the cam
paign. The audience was largely COM
posed Of farmers who loft their work
and came from the surrounding country
In large numbers.
Mr.. A~tkinSon's speech was a clear,
lucid explanation OF the money ques-
ton. He showed clearly that the far
mer would not be benefited rs prices had
not, In the past. Increased In a ratio
with the Increased circulation OF silver.
He showed that what the country needs
Is not free coinage OF silver. but en-
ployment for the Idle labor OF the cOun-
try, having the mills, mines and factor
les In fuu blast, the people employed nj
good wages and plenty NJ money to buy
the products OF the farmer, and TINT
these conditions are only possible under
the protective policy of the Republican
party. lie showed that the cry OF the
Popncrat party that we had not enough
money In circulation. was false. In 1873
the per capita was SIS; In 1899 It was
more than S23. He showed also that the
Crime Of "a" was not a silent. secret
one. but was discussed for two years,
WAS printed fourteen times. and was
voted for by Senator Stewart. now one
OF the leaders of the free silver craze.
One lone Popul!at was heard on the
street. after the meeting, still ahvOcat-
Ing his theory. Several Republicans
started n subscription Ia pay him for
talking. az several Democrats who had
been wagering IN the question declared
after they had heard him. that they were
so Disguised that they would either sup
port Mckinley or not vote at all.
The meeting at night was held in the
opera house and was addressed by Hon.
Aston G.. Dayton, who ably and logical
II discussed the issues before the pru-
pie, and showed that no true Democrat
could logically support the Chicngo
ticket, AS It's traditions and principles
had been reversed. q. w. Atkinson,
entertained the audience for some
time In his usual logical and cntcrtain-
Ing way.
The audiences were not craZcd by cx-
element, but were out to be Informed,

The history OF the Democratic party
is n most stupcndous thing. For In

Mr.. Bryan-l Will ask the gentleman
(Alr. llhlnCs) II tin Is manufactured In

Mr.. Ilalnes-Wcll.I have In my desk

On this pOlnt-l expected to come TO II
later, but 1t Is made Opportunc by the
remarks of t'c Gcntlcman-I want TO
ask him II he believes the tariff upon
Tin plate had anything TO do with the
chcnpcnlnR OF the price OF tin plate In
this country?
MIR. Raincs-I believe that the tlrint
upon tin will result In the establish

plnusc on the Republican sidc).

But that is not an answer to my ques-
ton. He stated that the price OF tin
plate had been reduced In the last ten
years. | ask him, md ! expect n direct
answer, and no euuivncatlon, whether
In his opinion the tariff upon tin plate
has reduccd mot Will reduce the prioe
OF tin plate? For that can be the only
point OF his remarks.
Mr.. RaInes-I have given my answer.
When the industry OF tin plate Is cstab-
lIshed In the United Stntcs-and three
months ago there was not a gentleman
on that side who would admit that there
was or would be a tin plate factory in
the United States.
Mr.. Bryln-We will admit 1t to-

Another Argument for Free Coinage,

One argument in favor OF getting
ddfyn to the silver basis Is that II would
edible ua to compete with the silver
countries In the matter Of labor. The
way It would enable ua TO compete would
be by bringing our labor down TO n level
OF theirs.
Japan Is n silver country. and there
wages run up as high ns Is cent? n day

value. Some Japanese get an low as .

Americans for Mexican wages,

1t is hardly worth while to 80 into Il
campaign TO determine In the usual way
who Is to be President. That question Is
already settled by the free coinage men
In favor OF their ticket. They take
everything south and west Of Pennsyl-
van!a and concede New England. New
York. New Jersey and Pennsylvania to
be doubtful.
They arc too modest, those free silver
fellows. They should not concede that
anything Is doubtful. If they want TO

thing can pull them through a~-who0ping
