1896, when that reputation was followed by

have been possible excuse for an honest
man being deceived by the claims and pre-
dictions of the organs and the Coin Har-
veys. They asserted that labor would have
less and less employment, and that the
prices of farm products would decline to a
lower figure than ever known if the gold
standard should be continued. The gold
standard has been continued; tens and tens
of thousands of people have found employ

haranguing the country in 1896, and millions
of dollars more are paid as wages. For
years the farmers have not received so good
prices for all their products as during the
years 1897 and 1895.
The Bryan orators told us that continuing
the gold standard would narrow the volume

rates of interest. The volume of available
money was never so large as it has been

wool. The cotton industry shows better
conditions, in spite of the fall of cotton to
the lowest quotation ever known. and there
is larger demand for most staple goods.
The iron industry still gains so rapidly

Four Americans Win Thousands on

The winnings have already reached $4,000.

KL0NDIKERS FLEECED.
Exchanged Their Gold for Spurious
Silver Certificates.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. Tt is stated
that United States secret service officers
aided by Chief Lees, have discovered thar
large numbers of counterfeit 500 silver cer-
tihcates have been produced in this CITY.
The operators are reported to be under no.
lice surveillance. The Call asserts that 1000
of these spurious bills were sent into the
klondike district. They were readily ex-
changed for gold dust, and their falsity was
not discovered until the returning miners
tried to pass them in Portland The banks
OF this city, following the precedent of the
institutions in the north, have refused to
handle any bills of that denomination. The
paper is like the government make as are
also the various inks, with the exception
OF that with which the number is printed.
This is of an ordinary quality and cannot

When the hospital ship Panama arrived at
Newport News on Wednesday, having on
board 1853 sick soldiers from Porto Rico, they
adopted a series of resolutions thanking the
officers by name for their care and cour-
tesy the preamble of which reads as fol-
lows:
Whereas, We, the undersigned GONZALES
cent patients from the United States army
in Porto Rico, gratefully appreciate the
careful medical attention. the excellent and
abundant food supply and the kind. con-
siderate and courteous treatment accorded
us during our voyage to the homeland on
the United States steamer Panama, a
voyage which we can never forget and
which we will ever remember as the first
bright rift in the clouds after weeks of
hardship in camp and field.
No yellow or copperhead paper will copy
these resolutions or make mention of them.
To assail the administration, these journals
will not admit that anyone in the trans
portation and medical departments has done
his duty.

convention in States which the Democrats
have carried whenever they have elected
a President has had the good sense to
ignore the 16-to-1 issue. There is every
son TO believe that Democrats in Indiana
who are business men would have the silver
question ignored, but such men have no in
fiuence in the party councils.
These who will take time to consider the
matter must see that a repetition of the sill
yer agitation of 1896 in 1900 will destroy con-
fidence in business circles and paralyze in
dustry If that agitation should be as ag
gressive and as formidable as it was in
1896 business will be paralyzed as it was
then, and thousands of men now fully en-
ployed will be idle. Whether the country
shall have a repetition of the Bryan cam
paign of 1896 depends largely upon the re-
suits of the elections in the Western States
this fall With is to ignored in the East
by the Democrats of New York. Connect
cut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and the
defeat Of the silver Democrats in Indiana
and other Western States, the silver ques-
ton cannot be made menace to the indus
try and business of the country during 1900
as it was in 1896.
Such being the situation, why should not
all those whose welfare depends upon bust
ness confidence act in regard to this matter
as they do respecting other matters affect
ing their interests? Men employed in fac
tories insure themselves against loss by ac-
cident connected with their employments;
those having employment look ahead to
make sure of it in the future; that they
may have a good wheat crop next season,
farmers have already prepared their land
and sowed the seed. In fact the prudent
man is always looking ahead to protect or
further his interests. Knowing, as all men
OF fair intelligence who are candid with
themselves must know. that the agitation of
the heresy Of 16 to 1 is menace to the
general prosperity which extends over the
country, how can they do themselves and
the country better service than by going
to the polls and voting the ticket which
is pledged to continue the present sound
money policy which has brought confidence
and prosperity to the Nation? Do not look
upon voting to sustain sound money and to
protect the country against the paralyzing
influence of 16-to-1 agitation in 1900 as sim
ply favor to a party organization, but re-
gard it as matter of personal interest the
same as protecting an employment or TAX
ing steps to insure a good crop or good
business next season.

Notwithstanding the obligation of secrecy
imposed on all persons connected with the
peace negotiations at Paris some facts are
leaking out. There seems to be no doubt
that General Merritt has strongly urged the
retention by the United States of all of the
Philippine islands and "a probability that
the American commissioners will COM
promise by demanding possession of the
Island of Luzon and independence for the
rest. Whatever conclusion they may reach
it is to be hoped they will not lose sight of
the fact that the United States is complete
master of the situation and in a position to
make and enforce any terms that may be
thought best.
