There are gevera, things which Mr..
Bryan may learn In Mexico and by
study of s,atlutics accessible here which
fall TO confirm his belief which he ex-
pressed short fifteen months ago.
For instance, his insistence that under
free coinage of silver gold would not
leave the country. but would come here
instead OF going away. II he will take
the trouble TO inquire in Mexico about
their experience with gold he Will find
that of the large sums OF gold mined
in that country in the past few years
only IS, 900 now remain In the coun-
try. The gold mined in Mexico In the
past three years aggregates about $780,
600, 600, being S,588688 In 1884, $4,000 roo
in 1895, aud something over IS, 0OO, 600 In
1896; yet, according to the official state
ment OF the mint bureau published at
The beginning of the present fiscal year,
the total amount OF gold in Mexico was
at that time only 5000, 900. or practical
" one fourth of the amount mined In
the short term OF three years. Gold
has been mined IN Mexico, OF course,
for many years, and at times in great
quantities. and the fact that Mr.. Bryan
on arriving there finds remaining in the
entire country less than a single years
production, II is felt, ought to convince
him that there is some error in his as
sumption that the free silver system,
as eXemplified there. will bring gold
into the country" or prevent its leaving
the country.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1897-12-31

Another striking evidence that Mr..
Bryan's views OF last year were not al
together accurate, Is found in state
ment OF the treasury department Just
issued which shows the total amount
of money in circulation in the United
States compared with the amount in
circulation at time when he was try
Ing 10 persuade the people that the only
possible way OF increasing our money
was by the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver. II will be remembered that
this was the burden Of his speeches.
from the day on which he captured the
Chicago convention until the last ballot
was cast on November 8, and that he
insisted day after day that only free

Another statement OF the paragraph
from his speech quoted above, In which
he asserts that the only way to stop
the outflow OF gold Is to adopt bimetal-
Ism, raise the price of wheat and pay
our debts In produce instead OF gold"
seems to be fully met by some figures
just coming to the surface here. BIZ
metalllsm was not adopted In 1896. ac-
cording to Mr.. Bryans programme, yet
the statistics relating TO imports cN-
norts and circulation of gold, and the
expectation OF American products with
which to pay our debts abroad. show
that the things which he assumed could
only be accomplished through the adop-
ton OF bimetallsm, have occurred with
out that action. The latest statement
OF the treasury department, indicating
the amount OF gold IN circulation in the
United States, shows that the amount
has increased nearly Sl00,000OOO since
the date OF his nomination. and with
cut the adoption Of free coinage. on
July /, 1896, Just u week before his nom
ination, the gold coin In the United
States was. according to treasury fg-
ures. AS49O5.0 6I, and at the beginning
Of this present month was S5i4,4Wf4S.
That this increase has been brought
about largely by the very methods he
recommended, In conjunction with his
financial system, raising the price OF
wheat and paying our debts in produce
Instead OF gold" Is found by the fig
ures lust issued by the bureau OF stap

FIRED In THREE PLACES
INCENDIARIES IN A BLOCK All
WASHINGTON AND PENNSYLVANIA.
A Like Origin Probably Responsible
for a $4,000 Fire at NIGEL
waine & Richards's.

Yesterday there were two incendiary
fires, one of which caused considerable loss
Early in the morning fire was discovered
In the rear of the store at North Pennsyl-
vania street, occupied by Mrs. Hannah K.
Moses with optical goods. AT about the
same time smoke was seen pouring from
the windows of the building abutting this
store and facing Washington street, occu-
pied in the upper part by the International
Association of Machinists. The department
arrived in time to prevent a spread of the
fire and also to learn that the fire had
been started in three places simultaneously.
The prompt arrival of the department
alone probably saved an extensive fire, as
the buildings in that vicinity old and
infammable. The block in which the opti-
cal store is located was damaged to the ex-
tent of about $500, and Mrs. Moses's stock
loss amounted to about $780, The loss to
the Washington-street building, which is
owned by the Wyman heirs, was nominal
All parties carried insurance.
Shortly after noon it was discovered that
the factory and wareroom building of Nc
Elwaine & Richards, corner of Merrill and
Delaware streets, was afire and an alarm
brought upon the scene a large force of
firemen and apparatus The fire was in the
rear part of the building and burned
fiercely, considering the fact that the con-
tents were largely metallic. McElwaine &c
Richards are wholesale dealers in plumbing
goods. The fire was fought hard and was
confined to the rear. The loss was about
81 900, about equally divided between the
stock and building. The latter is owned by
the Pennsylvania Company. This fire was
probably of incendiary origin. There was
no fire of any description in the building,
and it is known that the fire started inside
and could not have been caused by q spark
from a passing locomotive.
Fireman Harry Crossley, of hose com
pany No. II, was painfully injured during
the progress of this fire. He was working
with a line of hose inside the building when
some boxes fell upon him. His right thigh
was severely bruised, and it is feared he
may have been seriously hurt. He was
taken to St Vincents Hospital after being
attended by DR.. Courtney and the DISPENSE
ry physicians
Later in the afternoon several stables and
sheds on English avenue were damaged by
a fire of unknown origin. The fire started
in Richard fuckers shed at No. SAG and
was communicated to two sheds adjoining
on the east. owned by William Hawie and
Edward Dryer The total loss here was
about 500.

hald Sunday evenings. Tt was arranged that
the whole lodge was to be captured for Tag
CART by a contribution of $50 and two kegs
of beer, accompanied by brief speech
from the candidate. The $50 and the beer
materialized. but there had been for two or
three days rumors that there would be diff
ficulty If he attempted to make a speech
before the lodge. A crowd of about seventy
five gathered in the hall and the beer was
brought in by one Mantel and put on tap as
Taggart beer.
About 1870 o'clock a carriage drove up to
the door, from which Charles Stuckmeyer,
candidate for reelection as city clerk,
emerged. Two men remained in the car
riage and several Of the bystanders declared
that one of them was Mr.. Taggart. Be that
as it may, Mr.. Stuckmeyer went in and took
a look about the room He saw there some
of the men who had threatened to protest
If the mayor appeared and announced thar
Mayor Taggart regretted very much that
he would not be able to be with them. bur
would send another to represent him ana
make them a little speech. A howl of pro-
test went UP and Mr.. Stuckmeyer retired
with the understanding that no speech was
wanted. The beer was then consumed, with
no further incident than the casting out or
one HALEY, who displayed disposition to
be too curious as to where the beer came
from
