THE PRICE OF SILVER.


This week silver has reached the
lowest price it ever did. and it is by
no means certain that it has touched
bottom. The dropping and dropping
of silver means harder and harder
times for the mining states and all the
industries in them. There has just
gone into operation new tariff law
with the highest rates of duty ever i'm
posed, the work of a Republican con-
gress and a Republican president.
Throughout the land it is hailed by
members of the party responsible for
it as the harbinger of prosperity and
plenty. simultaneously with the en-
actment of this great law there comes
drop in the price of the chief product
of the states of the intermountain
region. 1t simply means increased
poverty for those states.
There has been some rise in the price
of stocks. some renewal of industrial
activity and the friends and supporters
of the new tariff measure have claimed,
and still claim. that this rise and this
renewed activity were in consequence
of the anticipation of the enactment
of the Dingley bill into law. If this
be so. then is not the drop in the price
Of silver to be attributed to the fact
that there is no prospect of interna-
tional bimetallism and no possibility
of the United States doing any
thing for it Independently? If
there were a genuine prospect for inter-
national bimetallism. would the price
of silver not be upward instead Of
downward? If all the rosy colored
reports about what the Wolcott- COM
mission is accomplishing for silver
were anything but rose color, would
silver be going down? If. that com
mission Inspired confidence that some
thing would be done for silver by in
ternational agreement, would not
spectators be buying up silver bull
lion?
Men, from one motive or another,
will look upon the prospects for inter-
national bimetallism through the eff
forts of the Wolcott commission differ
emily, but they must all recognize this
fact; that just as quick as the ad-
ministration inaugurates its great
policy that is to bring prosperity to
the land, the price of silver goes lower
than it ever was before. It viii be a
bold faced man who viii still claim
! that the present administration is the
great friend and champion of silver

Believers in the protective theory
viii be panied to read in a Republican
newspaper in this city that Private
Secretary J. Addison Porter wears a
suit Of Scotch mixture in Washington,
and that he and the president go out
riding every day in q vehicle which is
called a victoria. They would not be
expected to use a democrat wagon,
but they might find something more
expressive Of republican institutions
than one called by the abhorred name
of Engiand's queen. Why is it, too
that Mr. Porter adorns himself in i'm
ported goods, he who so stanchly stood
I'D for Mckinley and protection? He
comes from a state which is full of
wooden mills. all working against the
pauper labor of Europe, and now about

How does it come that he ignores the
product of native looms and prefers
that of Scotland, where the operatives
get barely enough wages to buy finnan
haddie and oatmeal? This should be

icle This shows a great lack of 10y

icie suggests. should be looked into.

Philadelphia Record: Mr.. Dingley tells
the world that the business condition is

SAN FRANCISCO,
= l. ~. ..

D. D. Dodson Esq. Red Bluff. Cal.-Dear Sir:
Answering yours of July 90 permit to say
that Bryan paid his fare for the most part in
this State. He had pass account Of the
World-Herald from Omaha to San Francisco, but
not to Los Angeles. Mr.. Baker and Mr.. Foote
paid his fare from Sacramento to Los Angeles
and he insis sted that they should receive from
him the money in return. He stated them
that if he could meet me he could make all
right, he journalist and regularly
employed, which the facts in the case.
He paid his fare back from Los Angeles to San
Franc and Sacramento. From that point he
had pass charged to the Omaha World-Herald on
advert Using account, whi ch that paper wi IL
make good. Those Eastern papers always make
good the favors extended by system. Mr..
Bryan is not wild-eyed anti-railroad at
all and If he were elected President he would
treat the railroads as fairly any other in
terests. The fact is that he is Amer1 can,
thoroughly imbued wi tn Ameri pri ple les,
and entertains civilized ideas and concep-
tions Of legi Station and jurisprudence; and
the people who suppose that his triumph will
be triumph Of communi SIN and nihilism are
going to be fearfully disappointed. Mr.. Bry
is very devout man, religi Gus by nature,
a Presbyterian which is Of the aristo-
cratic forms Of orthodoxy. have not the
81 lightest objection to your sing this letter

lists" why have the others been accused
of accepting free rides, paying therefor,
however, in q mysterious quality known
as negative friendship? 1t would be
pleasing if in third letter Mr.. Mills
would explain what negative friendship is.
That railroads are TO expect no hostile
legislation in case OF Bryan's election is
interesting, but Irrelevant save as an ex-
cuse for Mr.. Mills himself. That railroads
should not be adversely criticized is also
interesting, but Mills could shout this at
his typewriter until the heavens roll up
as scroll and railroads melt with a fer.
vent heat and never believe it the least
bit.
As to Mr.. Bryan's orthodoxy being not
only first class, but actually aristocratic,
the plea may be advanced that Bryan did
not geta pass on account OF his orthodoxy,
and indeed iat he is welcome TO cheer his
moral parts with any variety OF comfort
ing belief he may choose, provided it do
not include the privilege of posing as
journalist and securing one Of the Justly
celebrated advertising tickets" which
Mr.. Mills with free and gracious hand be.
slows upon the worthy.
Thus stands the matter UP to date. Mr..
Bryan got his passes and Mr.. Mills has
gone extensively into literature to ex-
plain, but doesn't explain. In fact he
makes a bad matter so much worse that
Bryan and his friends will rend their raj
ment fguratively, put ashes on their
heads also fieurativeiy, and some among
them will swear, not fguratively. Al
ready within their savage breasts, torn
beyond the point OF soothing, great
schemes of vengeance are being formu-
lated. These may go to the extent of pro-
viding muzzle for Mr.. Mills who tires
them when he merely talks, but drives
them to distraction when he talks to
typewriter.

D. Dodson Esq. Red Bluff, cal-Dear Sir:
say that Mr.. William J. Bryan travelled from
San Francisco to Portland advertising
ticket he being authori zed to do SO by the
Eor1d-Hera1d Of Omaha. On the ledger OF this
office the World-Herald stands charged vi tn
that fare Mr.. Bryan is a journalist and
connected with the Omaha World-HeraId
and the World-Herald gave him the au-
thority to contract for advertising in ex-
change for transpor tion. This was done and
the case not different from that Of the
members Of the California Press Associ at i on,
who recently made trip to Oregon and Washing
ton The advertiser s tt cket issued re-
quest Of the Omaha World-Herald, and i is RI ght
to do is certainly unquestioned. Mr.. Bry-
an 8 use Of the t. cket is above cri sm-at
least at hands Of his fellow journal i SITS,
who unlike himself, get most Of their trans
portation wi thout any charge wha atever. The
journal ist who would seek to make capital out
Of this Incl ident would be singularly unmi nd
full Of the obvi Gus and eternal impropr ETY. Of
placing the journalistic profession the
deadhead list. Invery truth there should be no
free transport tat on gi ven to any one. Whoever
bodv else There are certain classes of people
in the Uni ted States who become privileged
classes bv reason Of their ability to travel
over railroads wi thout cost. The great mass
of transportati given to journal sts $ wi tn
out nsidera t on, unless negative friend
shin NAV be REGARDED as cons deration. The
verv veal thy travel wi thout pay. Mini sters Of
the GOSPEL travel at half fare or travel free.
Large landowners seldom pay fare Large
freirht-pavers, such merchants, seldom pay
fare. The fact is that the railroads collect
1are II on O.4o numerous oooy called the common
life of America. The common people pay whom
they ride. The ncommon people ride free
There is, therefore, sense in which the
