sellers were thoroughly demoraiized and
dared do nothing but buy back what they
had previously sold. They were afraid TO

state of feeling they bid the price up near

San Francisco, Oct. 23.-News of the
massacre of part of an Austrian scien-
tific party On the island of Guadalcanar.
in the Solomon group. reached this city
Thursday by the steamer Monowai.
The party left Sydney to cruise about
and visit the Solomon islands in scien-
tific research in the Austrian man-of-
war Albatross. They had visited all
the isles except Guadalcanar, on which
there is a mountain called the Lions
Head. The party wanted to reach the
summit and hired native guides. They
started for the summit on the 5th of
August. In the party were Baron Foul
lon Won Norbeck, Lieut.. Budik, Midship-
man de Beaufort, 20 sailors, another mid
shipman, the baron and two servants
and two native guides. After two days
march one of the midshipmen and seven
sailors returned, as they became too
fatigued to proceed farther.
The day after they left the camp
the baron, Lieut.. Budik, seven sailors
and two servants started up the noun
tain. Several bushmen met on the way
Joined the expedition, but as they were
without arms no particular attention
was paid TO them. The baron was in the
lead all the way, and as he neared the
top of the mountain a bushman. who
appeared to be a chief. was seen by
the party. As he appeared two shots
were fired lower down the mountain
from the direction of the camp. The
shots seemed &c be a signal for the
chief to attack the baron's party. Bush
men from a score Of places at oace
rushed out. and the baron was struck
on the neck with a tomahawk, while a
crowd OF bushmen attacked the rest of
the party with clubs. The native who
had cut down the baron was promptly
shot by sailor. Lieut.. Budik also put
his revolver to good use. One sailor
had to protect himself with tomahawk
he had wrested from native The
other sailors were well armed and the
bushmen finally had TO retreat to the
woods, many Of them wounded. The
baron was the only one of the party
badly hurt. At first ii was thought he
would recover, but he gradually sank
after he had walked back to camp and
died in three hours
The sight when the party returned TO
the camp was a bloody one. Midship-
man de Beaufort had been cut 10 death
and three sailors and a native guide
had also been killed. Six sailors and one
guide had been wounded. The news was
then sent to Capt. Maulock, of the Al
batross, and relief party was sent and
a safe return was made TO the ship.

Of his wages viii for years be less than
how; consequently. be viii be forced to
hny less than at present. This being so,
there will be less market for wheat. and
meats and farm products generally. un-
less the farmer will sell more to him
for the same amount of money. In
stead, therefore, of getting better prices
for what he has to sell, the farmer
will find his market restricted, because
the workingman's wages are changed
bu: little and that slowly, and the prices
of his products will be exactly in pro-
portion to the purchasing power of the
wages of the workingman.
Instead, therefore, of getting twice
as much for his wheat and hogs, he
will at first get the same as now, and
any further advance will be Just as
slow as the advance in wages. At the
same time, however, when he wants to
buy cloth or machinery or any other
manufactured product, he will find the
prices marked up promptly. The
manufacturer may be slow in marking
up wages, but he viii be prompt in
marking up the prices of what he has
to sell. The farmer will then find
that, while he now gets so cents in gold
for his bushel of wheat. he will then get
so cents on the silver standard. but.
when he wants to trade that so cents a.
the store. it will only go one-half as far
as his present so cents goes.
In the end, after years of ceaseless
struggle, conditions may become sc
adjusted that the ratio between wages
and general prices viii again become

The kernel for farmers to grasp is

Assassin's Victim.
New York, Oct. 22.-uamIin j. An
drus, secretary of the Arlington chem
| ical works of Yonkers, was instantly
killed by an explosion in his Office there
Wednesday morning. His family de-
, clare he was assassinared with bomb.
Yonkers, N. L., Oct. 23.-The lates.
Developments in the terrible tragedy
of Wednesday at the Arlington chem
ical works prove almost beyond doubt
that Hamlin j. Andrus met horrible
death at the hands of an incarnate as
sassin. The case has been taken out of
the hands of the local police and Pinker-
ton detectives have been called in. The
plot that resulted in the murder of Mr..
Andrus was unquestionably deeply laid
and the plotter evidently an ingenious
rascal. In searching the building for
evidence this was made manifest. Near
| the window where the bomb was ex-
ploded was found a coil of wire. Close
scrutiny showed that the wire ran
down through hole in the floor used
for the gas pipe into the cellar. There.

which wires were attached. Both the
wires and the batteries were new and
showed evidence of having been recent
iy placed in position. A thorough in
vestigation of this continuance seemed
TO prove beyond doubt that Mr. Andrus
was murdered deliberately. The-device
was so ingeniously constructed that the
assassin could manipulate it from a
point of safety on the outside of the
building. The coroner has taken pos
session of all the matter. and believes it
will eventually lead to the capture OF
the assassin. The latest Developments
dispute the theory that the bomb was
intended for John z. Andrus. brother
of the murdered man. The Pinkerton
men are working on q clew which shows
motive for the taking of Hamlin ].
Andrus' life. An autopsy showed that
the upper part of the head had been
blown off and one arm shattered. Two
large pieces OF the bomb were found
buried in the heart, one of the pieces
being several inches in length. Small
pieces of the bomb were found i'm
bedded IN various parts of the body.

UNDER FREE SILVER.
Ckat the Eject Would BE If Bryan Were
Elected.


skat the Eject Would Be If Bryan Were
Elected.
Let us see what the immediate effect
of the election of Mr.. Bryan would be,
so far as our stock of money is con-
cerned. We now have in circulation, in
round numbers, $500, COG, OG0 in gold and
gold certificates, $3.50. 900 in silver
and silver certificates and $500, O00, 900
in United States notes, national bank
notes and other forms of paper. This
gives us circulating medium of about
81 500, 000, 900 based on gold standard,
with every dollar as good as every other
dollar and every dollar as good as gold
dollar.
With free coinage of silver the pur-
chasing value of every dollar will drop
OF once to the bullion value of the sill
yer in the silver dollar, that being
then the standard, just as now every
dollar stands at the bullion value of
the gold dollar, it being the standard.
The bullion value of silver may advance
n little for time, just as it did after the
passage of the Sherman law in 1890,
but the increased production of silver
which such an advance would bring
about, would soon drive it down again
perhaps lower than now.
The $500, ooo. 900 in gold and gold GER
tificates would go out of circulation at
orce. That would go into permanent
hiding since no one would be foolish
enough to pay debt with a gold dol
lar worth as much as two silver dol
lars, when the law gives the silver dol
lar the same legal tender power. This
would contract our circulating cur
rency by little more than one-third.
Silver then being the standard of value,
the purchasing power of every dollar
and of every paper dollar not redeem

Jacksonville. Fla. Oct 22.-Of New
Smyrna bar Wednesday morning the
United States cruiser Raleigh captured
the filibustering steamer Dauntless
and her tender. r. L Mabey. The
Dauntless was caught about six o'clock
and the Mabey later. The latter steam
er was putting out to sea with coal and
supplies for the Dauntless when the
Raleigh fred blank cartridge for her
to stop. The Mabey turned about and
tried TO escape. whereupon the Raleigh
fred a solid shot across her bows and
the tug heaved to. An officer was put
il charge of the Mabey and the Daunt-
less was brought TO ST. Johns bar, and
now lies inside, in charge of officers
from the Raleigh. Cubans here are
greatly excited. but claim that the
Dauntless had no arms nor men on
board. In chasing and capturing the
Dauntless the Raleigh used her guns

able in gold would decline to the value
of the bullion IL the silver dollar. This
would contract the purchasing power
OF the rest of the currency left in Cir
culation by about one-half.
The first effect of Mr.. Bryan's cleo
ton, therefore, would be to contract
the purchasing power of our circulat-
ing medium from $500, O00. 900 as at
present, to about $500, 00O, 600. Every
man of intelligence knows the panic,
ruin and commercial disaster which
would be sure to follow. Mr.. Bryan
himself knows it; for at Ackley, Ia,
he admitted that the first effect of the
success of the free coinage demand
would be to bring on q panic. How
long would such panic last? Will it
be one year or five years? No man can
answer. 1t would last until all bust
ness engagements would become adj
iusted to the radical changes in value.
No farmer needs TO be told that in times
of panic he cannot get good prices for
what he has to sell. Business panics
simply ruin the market. and he, being
forced to sell his crops as they are
raised, must sell for what he can get
at the time
Now let US suppose we have reached
that period where business affairs are
becoming adjusted to debased cur
rency. The man who eats what the
farmer grows, is the man who works for
wages. All contracts for wages are now
on the basis of dollars equal in purchas-
ing power to the present gold dollar.
Vixen the panic is over, and prices of all
commodities begin to rise to a level
corresponding to the decline in value of
the dollar, what will be the position
of the wage-worker? His condition will
measure the amount of prosperity that
the farmer is to get, because it is his
purchases that will make the farmers
market. It is law absolute and un-
changeable, that the wages are the last
thing to rise. His employees will grant
him an increase of wages slowly, and
only when forced to do SO. There will
be struggle for years and years be-
tween employers and employees, and
wages will go up but slowly. This
means then that the purchasing power
