Here is a problem for Mr.. Bryan to
solve. 1t comes from a Connecticut
correspondent of an eastern paper: In
1895 we all heard great deal about
the appreciation in value of the gold
dollar and the rascallty Of 1t. For
some time prices in all lines have adj
vanced greatly, and a dollar won't go
nearly as far as 1t went six months
ago Is this to be charged to the
trusts" or is 1t a terrible example
of the depreciation of the gold dollar,
and the circulation OF silver and gold
side by side and on equal terms, made
possible by the gold standard?

one of the very freshest, and all those
wishing to keep abreast of the times
in all lines should subscribe for the
Post. The Index should know that
the Posts political faith is the very
reverse of what 1t says. The Post is
Republican in sentiment to the core. 1t
supports all the policies Of the national
administration. It's editorial columns

"upquestioned Democracy" wonder
full reform has come in the Democratic
party. one of the most aggressive pa

Star, though neither are partisan. They
are both unqunllHedly supporting the
administration in every particular.

1t does not think the course of Its

II Of the tremendous mistake 1t is max
ing. In Wednesdays Issue 1t repro
duces In facsimile from the New York
Herald, "a paper without party and
without opinions" the following head
lines: 'Aguinaldo Wants Democrats to

The Journal, quoting these headlines,
pertinently and gravely asks the ques-
ton: us there not material here for
some pretty solemn reflections? What
do Democrats think of the sort of man
agement that has enabled the enemies
OF the country to greet their party as
an ally?" Suppose, for instance. the
British, in the war of 1912, had issued
a proclamation taking their dear
friends, the FederalIsts, to their
hearts, or the MexIcans, in 1S45, had
extended greetings to their affecttonate
comrades, the Wings, would not the
position of those parties have become
worse than 1t was?
In the history of the Republic no.
where is 1t of record that an anti-na-
tional party has ever come to any other
end than shame and ruin. The Jour
nal says, and truthfully: "As long as
our republic preserves its vigor none
ever will. When. u party can ally IL
self with armed enemies of the nation
and retain its strength the dissolution
OF the commonwealth VIII have be-
gun"
AS a Democratic paper, the Journal
feels at heart an anxiety for the future
welfare Of its party when it says, from
a party standpoint: "The Democracy Is
as patriotic party as ever existed. It's
only trouble is It's indIscreet leadership
Aguinaldo's proclamation is a cold
shower-bath that ought to bring the
inebriated leaders to their Senses"

PlNGREE'S PET MEASURE.
1t Gets IA Black Eye from Michigan's
Legislature.

Lansing. Mich, Feb. 15.-At least
temporary victory was won by the anti
Pingree representatives yesterday
when the CheeverAtkinson equal taxa
tion bill was referred by vote of Al to
As TO a joint committee, composed of
the regular standing committees on
taxation, with three representatives
added. This bill is Gov. Pingree's
greatest Legislative hobby and has for
its object the taxation of railroads and
other corporate property on their act
ual valuation, the same to be deter
mined by a state board of assessors.
The bill is aimed particularly at the
railroads, which at present are taxed
on their earnings. The Pingree men
wanted the bill brought before the
committee of the whole and passed at
once. 1t is claimed by the antis that
the object of the reference was to get
all taxation bills before a joint COM
mittee, and from them evolve one upon
which all factions can agree.

FARMERS LOSE MILLIONS.
Crops I'm Southern states arc Ruined
by Zero Weather-Liye stock owners
Also Lose Heavily.

Savannah, Ga, Feb. 15.-Letters from
Florida tell of the direful effect of the
freeze in that state. The orange grow
ers' letters are recitals of ice-bound
trees and fruit that is ruined by the
cold. The price of Florida oranges ad-
vanced Yesterday in one hour from the
receipt of the Florida mail from So to
$5 per box. The crops about Savannah
are total loss. Early vegetation was
blackened and killed by the freezing
weather.
New Orleans, Feb. 15.-Throughout
the state it has been bitterly cold and
heavy damage has been done to the
vegetable and orange crops, in spite of
the warnings that were sent before the
approach of the cold wave. Bayous
Terrebonne and La Fourche are frozen,
for the first time since the war. Lake
Providence, in northern Louisiana, is
likewise frozen. Such an event has not
been noted before in the past 25 years.
Houston. Tex, Feb. 15.-The ther-
mometer has made "A new low record
mark in south Texas, reaching de-
grees above. The loss to stock will be
very heavy. Early vegetables are dam
aged to the amount of at least $1,000
900. There has been no great amount
of human suffering, but cattle are in
horrible condition, having no place to
lie, as the prairies are wet and the
marshes frozen over.
Waco. Tex, Feb. 15.-For the first
time in its history Waco and vicinity
has experienced zero weather. Oats
are ruined and wheat so seriously in
iured as to amount to destruction. The
fruit crop is not injured. The Brazos
river is frozen from bank to bank and
all streams and ponds are covered with
ice thick enough for skating. Great
damage has been done to live stock.
Dallas. Ten, Feb. 15.-Reports from
all over north Texas are that the biz
zard was the most severe in the history
of the state. Loss of cattle in Indian
Territory and on the Panhandle
ranges will likely be very large, though
accurate figures are not yet forthcom-
ing. This is the longest cold spell for
IA years.
Little Rock Ark, Feb. 15.-All rec

People In Colorado Towns Suffer from
Food Shortage.

Denver, Col, Feb. 15.-Seven men on
snowshoes arrived at Leadville yester-
day from Kokomo. They say that Ko-
l1omo, Carbonville, Robinson, Climax
and surrounding towns are out of pro-
visions except a small quantity of flour
and potatoes. which is doled out spar
ingly. The coal supply is also ev-
hausted. While the people are not yet
starving, they are ia serious straits.
All the available men from the towns
along the South Park high line are
shoveling road from Robinson to
Pando, on the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad, which place they hope to
reach by Friday or Saturday. The dis
tance is only about ten miles, but the
snow is packed so hard that only two
or three miles a day can be cleared.
Provisions will be taken to Pando from
LeadvilIe and will be rushed to the
amine-stricken towns as soon as pos
sible. All the mines in the district
have shut down for lack of fuel.

CASTAWAYS RESCUED.
Missing Members of the william Law
rence,s Crew are Brought Into Port.

Savannah, Ga, Feb. 16.-Every mem
Der of the crew of the wrecked steam
ship William Lawrence las been saved,
but only after the greater number OF
them had suffered terrible hardships.
The tugs Cambria and Cynthia came IN
last evening from the sea islands of
South Carolina, bringing with them
Capt. Willis and 13 men, constituting
those who had been missing since sun
day morning. when the ship was aban-
doned in the breakers off Port Royal
bar. The tug Cambria left here We'd
nesday morning and searched every
island and inlet northward until the
castaways We're found. At 9 o'clock
the party were discovered on Hunting
island and taken on board the CAM
bria. Capt. Willis and his men had
suffered greatly. Tksy left the ship at
0 o'clock Sunday morning. After II
hours at sea in a freezing gale the two
boats under the caISain and the first
officer made land on Capers island.

both of the boats We're smashed and
the men thrown into the surf. Though
almost exhausted and numb they man
aged to scramble beyond the reach of
the waves.
There was no fresh water no shelter
and little fuel on the island. The cap
tain had few matches and n fire was
made under the lee of sand dune.
The limited fuel kept the men from
freezing to death. They hovered over
the little blaze all during the snow
storm of Sunday night and Monday,
when the mercury was only above
zero. On Tuesday one of the boats
was repaired and both crews got into
It to try to reach Port Royal. The men
had been without food since Sunday
morning and without water since Sun
day afternoon. After desperate efforts
they reached Hunting island. Some
soldiers were stationed there and the
mariners were soon nurSed back to

Influence of Trusts Cannot
Check Business.
PRODUCTS RISE In PRICE
An Advance of 81 q Ton is Noted
N Steel Rails.
HEAVY EXPORTS OF GRAIN.
Wheat and Corn Have Advanced In
Price During. the Past week-A
Much Better Demand for Wool and
Cotton.

New York, Feb. 1S.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Beyond question business is expand
ing, and in many branches it is larger,
Notwithstanding speculative combina-
tions which tend to reduce it, All mo-
nopolies or attempted monopolies stim-
ulate business while they are coming,
but tend to stile it after they come,
and the throng of combinations and
trusts which have been formed have
given a temporary but very question:
able impetus to trad9. But beyond the
influence of this there is a genuine en-
largement of business.
The weeks output of pig iron Feb
ruary l was 237,639 tons, against 243,-
SIC January /, and 235,52S December /.
The average weekly production thus
indicated was about 1000 tons greater
in January than in December. The
Stoppage of several furnaces for re-
pairs at a time when the demand is
most pressing has caused some fear
of famine, although quite a number of
other furnaces have started since Feb
ruary 1, or are about TO start. Pig iron
has advanced, but the largest consump-
tion ever recorded in any month is in
part due to the hasty purchases of
products about to be advanced in price
by combination. But the rise of 81
in steel rails, with the entire capacity
of all works engaged until after July
|, is not unnatural, nor the strength
in plates, and the same is true of bars.
No fictitious demand has caused the
rise in grain, for the exports continue
so heavy in wheat and corn that the
advance of 3H cents in wheat is abun-
dainty justified and the rise of - cents
in corn seems scarcely enough for the
occasion.
Nor does the foreign demand for cot
ton abate, though the price has again
been raised three-siXteenths during the
past week. The exports have decreased
some.
There is much more inquiry for wool
and the manufacturers have larger
demand for heavy weight goods, but
they maintain that they cannot pay
prices now demanded for wool and
most of the purchases made appear to
have been at some concessions.
Failures for the week have been 17S
in the United States, against 295 last
year, and Is in Canada, against 80 last
wear.

Must Pay for Riot Losses.

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 1S.--The su-
preme court has affirmed the judgment
of the lower court in the case of Chi
cago VS.. the Manhattan Cement Co.
The question involved was the consti-
tutionality of the law which provides
that cities and counties are liable for
three-fourths of the value of property
destroyed in riots. The cement com
pany had lot of cement in car in
Chicago during the railroad riots in
July, 1894, which was destroyed by the
burning of the car. They recovered
e-fourths of its value from the
city, from which judgment the city APP
pealed. This decision establishes the
constitutionality of the law.

A BIG LOSS TO UNCLE SAM.
4 Portion Of the BrOoklyu Navy Yard
is Destroyed by Fire-VsIuabIe Mod
els Consumed by the Flames.

New York, Feb. 16.-Over $1,000,0O0
worth of government property was 3e-
stroyed by fire which started in the
large machine shop of the Brooklyn
navy yard known as machine shop No.
2s, last night, and the workings of the
navy ward have received Il serious set
back Many fine models and patterns
of battleships, their parts and plans,
were destroyed and some of them can
not be obtained again except by going
over the work mapped out in the be-
ginning. \ great number of the mod
els were simply copies of plans, draw
ings and specifications now in the
store rooms of the department at Wash
ington, and these can be replaced at
any time.
The fire was first discovered at 6:3O
p. m. by the man on tthe watch of the
battleship Massachusetts. He imme-
diatelv notified the fire department.
The men of the Massachusetts scurried
down TO the shop about 300 yards away
and with the aid of hose reel got a
small stream playing on the fire. The
building was about 100 feet in width
and 325 feet long. 1t was four stories
in height and built of stone and brick.
The wooden inside was saturated with
oil and the flames rapidly gained head
way. 1t was seen that the Massachu-
setts men could do but little against
the blaze and an alarm was turned in
for the engines in the neighborhood.
The flames had then neveloped the
great machine shop and attention had
TO be paid TO the foundry and other
buildings in the vicinity. Several times
the flames got a start on the foundry
roof, but the firemen quickly put them
out. \ small corrugated iron building
in the rear of the machine shop was
burned, but the loss on this is insig-
nificant The firemen pumped huge
streams of water into the blazing ma
chine shop. but all efforts were fruit
less. The fire made such rapid pro-
gress in the machine shop that by $50
the officials of the navy yard pro-
nounced it an utter loss.
Machine shop No. % was occupied by
the coppersmiths, boiler makers, car
penters and machinists. About 600
people were employed there, but only
two watchmen were in the building at
the time of the outbreak of the fire.
Aside from being filled with great
mass of machinery. more or less used,
the building was occupied as pattern
and model shop.

Found No Trace OF Acids.

Chicago, Feb. 1S.-Samples of the
canned beef American soldiers in Cuba
and Porto Rico said was unfit for food
were tested chemically and analysed
with respect to fitness for food by ex-
pert chemists employed by the Chicago
Tribune. The result of the analysis
shows that in the cans submitted there
was no trace of either boric or salicylic
acid or any other chemical preserva-
tive in the meat, aside from salt and
that the high temperatures of the Gu
ban climate in all probability account
ed for its apparent unttness for food
when opened by the soldiers.
