which Mr.. Bayard pins his faith, and
yet the four years of Mr.. Cleveland's
administration were undoubtedly the
worst In a business sense that we have
had in thirty years. If there is any
merit in the gold standard. there was
splendid chance for it to appear. But it
did not. The rosy promises of bound.
less prosperity to Immediately follow
the repeal of the SHERMAN Law" proved
utterly false; prices continued to fall
and the business of the country was
practically dead.
The plain, simple fact is that the gold
men are responsible for every serious
business trouble of the last quarter of a
century. Without the slightest cause or
justification they deliberately changed
the standard of value in Europe ard
America, from gold and silver together
to gold alone; thus forcing the value of
gold up. and the money value of proper
ty and products down. The effect has
been to increase the burden of all debt
and fixed charges, to destroy the profits
of productive industry. to check enter.
prise and virtually put an end to new
developments.
When the silver men object to this.
and insist upon return to the old
measure of value, Mr.. Bayard. who
believes himself to be an honest and
intelligent man. with an effiontery that
looks like gold, but is really brass.
charges them with being the cause of
all the trouble. In short, if the great
body of toilers and producers-those
who are creating the wealth which they
are not permitted to enjoy-if these men
will only keep still and let theHmoney
changers shape everything to suit them.

Bayard. That distinguished gentleman
assumes that the gold standard is stable
and must be maintained in order to in.
of the fact that there has not been q
month of genuine prosperity since that
standard was forced upon the people
a rising standard of value cannot be
stable. for it means continuously falling
prices, and with prices going down there
can be nothing like general prosperity.
We grant that the capitalist will LOAF
his money more readily, if he knows he
will get it back at premium. But un
fortur ately, as money goes to a premium
over goods the goods sink to a discoun
compared with money. 1t becomes
harder and harder for the borrower t,
pay. In many cases he cannot pay a
all. With prices steadily falling ther,
is no incentive to borrow money to in

ability to furnish the gllt-edged secur

he sees no way of making any profit o

NOT A "sUNDAY TOWN" ADVOCATE


\ Cripple Creek Editor Regulates the
>landerou, Charge
The REGISTER is in receipt of copy
of the Cripple Creek (Col.) Daily Citizen
of July B. from which we clip the follow
ing editorial. A perusal of the same
couvinces one that M Quad's" Arizona
Kicker articles are not so exaggerated as
they might be. Incidentally. the article
indicates the degree of civilization to
which the great mining camp has attain
ed.
Certain parties arc circulating q report
that the Citizen. aided by the preachers.
proposes to make "a sunday town" of
Cripple Creek. If we understand what
those parties mean. it will only be
necessary to reply by saying that they
are lying. But in order that no person
can by any possibility misconstrue the
Citizens position in regard TO this ques-
ton we desire to state it IN as succinct
form as possible. The writer has prob
ably visited and lived in more mining
camps than these liars have ever heard
of and so far as being in cahoots with
any preacher that charge is denied.
mining camp is different from other
classes of towns in many respects. 1t is
peopled by a different class of persons.
The straight laced notions of older com.
munities are left behind. Liberality is
always the most marked feature in
mining camp life and there is something
in the atmosphere that teaches people to
mind their own business. OF course
this influence is lost on some persons
and Cripple Creek is not without its busy
bodies
Whenever the same rule of strict
morality, prevalent in the east, is APP
piled TO a mining camp, it is time to
move. We are all here for the purpose
of improving our condition, preachers as
well as laymen. and anything that adds
to the prosperity of our city is bound to
be shared in, to a greater or less extent,
by everybody. Too much halleluiah will
kill mining town as dead as a mack
erel.
This paper believes that Cripple Creek
has not reached a stage where ii should
be turned over to the Puritans. We are
not against gambling for the reason that
men are natural gamblers, especially
men of the west, and if they cannot find
games where they live will 90 elsewhere
to find them. We are not against
saloons, FOR it is every mans privilege to
eat and drink what will suit his own
taste, and he who attempts to interfere
with that liberty is fanatic. We do
believe that certain regulations should
control all of these things. We believe
in live and progressive town, such as
Cripple Creek now is, aud trust that no
further attempts will be made to ''cinch
the ungodly."

indianapolis, Ind, July 26.-Noah
Baney, convict at Michigan City
state prison, has written confession
which, if proved true, will have the
effect of giving Rev. w. f. Hinshaw
his liberty. Hnshaw was convicted
two years ago and sentenced to life I'M
prisonment for the murder of his wife.
The trial of Hinshaw was one of the
most sensational in the history OF the
state. According to Baney, the real
murderers of Mrs. Hinshaw are John
Whitney and Guy Van Tassel, In
dianapoIs men. Baney's statement
recites the details of the crime as told
him by Whitney and Van Tassel' who
drove from indianapolis to Bellevue IN
his buggy. Baney says the purpose OF
the visit to the IIinshaw home was
robbery, and Mrs. Hinshaw was shot
by Van TasseI, who shot to frighten
her back into the yard.

THE DRUM ON SHIPBOARD.
1t Plays an Important Part in the
Daily Routine OF Duty.


"The Last of the Drums" is the IT,
tie of an article written by Lieutenant
Con Marrast Perkins for ST Nicholas.
Lieutenant Perkins says:
In the navy as well as in the army
the drum is hallowed and glorif1ed by
traditions of victory: and from the day
Paul Jones ran up the first flag Of our
country, with its liberty-tree and its
motto, IAN Appeal to Heaven" down

the last incident of the day-"taps," or
"eX.inguish lights"-the drum retains
its place here; and the little Marine
drummer with his baby face and red
coat Is the last to carry his drum
proudly at the head Of marching me1r,
and TO blend It's martial rattle with the
