THE BEACH DIGGINGS.
There were hundreds of men camp
ed along the beach who had come there
sick, sad and sore from the KOtzebue
and KOyukuk and places along the Yu-
kOn, and were hoping that the govern
ment would somehow take them out of
the country. Some parties had sold
their stern wheel steamers and outfits
for a very small fraction of what they
had cost them. When the news was
announced that under their very feet
there was a. layer and in some places,
layers, of ruby sand which was rich
with gold, which they so much coveted
and for which they had risked and en-
dured so much, they sprang to work
with alacrity, and, as if by magic,
there could be seen a string of tents
for fifteen miles along the beach, in
front of which were men digging down
through the ruby StreakS and shaking
their rockers. How glad they were
when they made their first cleanup
and found that the yellow metal was
there indeed. It was a gOdsend to them
and nearly all so regarded it. There
was no quarrelling or contention among
the men about the claims. Each man
when he came with his rocker would
mark out a piece of ground IS or 20 feet
square, and by mutual consent that
was his claim; and so they went along
on the shore, some finding richer spots
than others. It is estimated that there
were about !, 500 men at work and
conservative eSDlInaUe IS InaC eacn man
averaged $50 a day. 1t was estimated
that the product of the beach at the
end of September would amount to
about 81, OOO, 600. Copper plates were in
great demand by those who had rock
ers; in fact, the demand could not be
supplied. One man was seen with a sill
yer plate made of siXty-fOur silver dol
lars, held in place by copper lacks.
There was a scarcity of water at
Snow Gulch the latter part Of August,
and upon one claim where they could
run but four hours a day with water
which had accumulated during the
rest of the day one nugget was exhib-
tied which was valued at S312 at S16
per ounce, and another nugget at $3.50.
1t is believed that the output for the
creek claims which We're being worked
will reach $25G0, 600 and the whole camp
will produce this year s1,5O0, CO.,"

The Passing of Free Silver

The following article by e. V. Smaley,
in the New York Independent, is one of
the clearest portrayals we have seen of the
position and hopes of the democratic party:
Nothing is palmer to anyone who comes
into touch with public sentiment In the
west than that the silver sentiment is stead
lily declining year by year. The evidences
of this decline are numerous. No public
men except Bryan, Towne and two or three
Others, now talk of the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of sixteen to one as essen
tial for national prosperity. No prominent
newspapers now give any space In their
columns to the advocacy of the double stand
ard theory. There Is no ardent discussion
of the old question in local or state conven-
tons; and although the platforms of such
conventions frequently contain q reso-
luton reafilrming the Chicago plat.
form Of 1895, such resolutions are evidently
put In from political motives and not to ex-
press an earnest conviction. Finally, one
never hears any talk on the money question
among people on trains, or IN hotel Hobbies,
or on the streets. The farmers of the west
are now convinced that 1t was a political
humbug to attribute the low prices of farm
products which prevailed In recent years to
the gold standard, as Bryan did In his cam
paign of 1896. The wage earners now see
thst the lack Of steady Employment and the
low wages from which they suffered few
years ago did not proceed from any fault In
the monetary system of the country since
now there Is work for all at fair wages
although there has been no change In the
standard or In the volume of money afloat.
The business men are so busy to keep up
with the increase in trade that they have no
time to discuss fanciful theories about BIZ
metallism and have lost all interest In BRYAN
and his doctrines.
The free silver movement would be as
thoroughly dead as 1t is thoroughly discred.
tied by the facts OF the business situation
were 1t not for the necessities of one of the
great political parties of the country. Every
position taken by Its advocates In 1895 has
been shown to be false one by the events
of the past three years, and every argument
they then advanced has been disproven.
Yet free coinage as q party measure still
survives, aud Is, l think, destined to play
some part In the next Presidential contest.
The democratic leaders In the west and
south will not abandon 1t, because they be-
lieve that their party must hold on to II
in order to have chance of success at
the election. Their plan of campaign is
simple, and Is not altogether foolish.
The Chicago platform must be reafiirm-

ed, they say, la order 10 secure the pop.
ulsts, who believe in any and all kinds OF
cheap money as means to redistribute
partially the wealth Of the country by scaling
down debts. The attachment of the pop
ulists to free silver coinage Is much deeper
than that of the democrats; and IL Bryan
and his pet issue should be dropped In 1900
they would probably nominate him them
selves and make strong campaign on their
own account for dollars of less value than
gold. Evidently the.only chance of success
In 1900 depends on keeping all the forces
which supported Bryan In 1896. The prob
lem, say these democratic politcians.i is how
to get new increment Of strength by the
capture of republican votes and the plan
proposed Is to take strong ground against
the trusts, and also to appeal to the anti
expansion sentiment, which appears to be
strong in New York and New England, with
the expectation of thus adding enough cleo.

umns to make majority. The expectation
much enthusiasm for the free silver theory,
1t will also be impossible to get up such a
determined opposition as was manifested
In 1895. Interest on both sides of the ques-
ton has evidently abated and been replaced
by interest In newer issues. While no great
uprising of the debtor classes, the distressed
business men, the dissatisfied farmers and
of the unemployed lab0rers, can again be
counted on In favor of the silver standard,
there will also be no uprising of the creditor
classes and the salaried men and we'll en-
plOyed laborers against 1t. Thus, with
new and vital issue at the front, such as
war upon the trusts that are suppressing
competition and getting consumers by the
throat, it will be possible to gain republican
votes and at the same time hold the popu.
lists in line, and also all the other fanatics
who have made a political gospel out Of the
cry of sixteen to one.

Ex-President Defends u. s. Work in

Ex-President Defends U. 8. Work in
Philippines.
Paris, July 5.-The feature of the an
nual banquet of the American Chamber
of Commerce last night was an address
by ex-President Harrison, who had
been indisposed and did not reach the
banquet hall till late. In part Mr..
Harrison said:
The observance of this anniversary
in France has peculiar interest to us,
as we celebrate the event in the land of
Lafayette, the land whose sympathetic
interest in a poor and struggling people
did so much to convert the declared
right to be free. The Americans have
grown strong, but they have not ceased
to be grateful. When America forgets
her debt, she will be unworthy and in
capable of international friendship.
We have other friends, but none
whose friendship involves enmity to
France. We are pleased when she is
prosperous and grieved when she is
troubled. The United States is most
favorably situated for the cultivation of
peaceful relations with all other nations.
In the affairs of the nations beyond seas,
no question of the balance of power
has ever disturbed us. Our neighbors
could not contest our supremacy, but
we will never use our power to their
disadvantage.
The United States has not its eyes up
on distant possessions America has
never failed, either in Greece, Armenia
or South America, to make it known
that she reprobated cruelty and per-
secution, but she has not felt that she
has commission to police the world.
She would gladly have welcomed
settlement of the Cuban question by the
establishment of humane, just and
liberal government under Spain, If that
had been possible.
We have incurred responsibilities
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1899-07-14

The popular view of the relation of the
blood to human character and conduct IL
marked in many familiar expression. We
speak of there being ''bad blood" between
people at enmity, of "blue blood" as indicat-
ing ancestry, of ''black blood" as describing
a treecherous nature and in many another
phrase mark our belief that in the mental,
moral and physical man ''the' blood is the
life." The one basis of healthful, happy
and useful life Is pure blood. With the
blood pure disease has no permanent lodging
place In the system. For this reason the
use OF DR., Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry rids the body of diseases which have
their origion IN impurity of the blood. 1t
absolutely purifes the blood, carrying off
the waste and poisonous matter, increasing
the action of the blood making glands, and
building up the body by supplying the
blood In quantity and quality such as Is
essential to condition of health. 1t cures
ninety-eight people out of every hundred
who give 1t fair trial.

there and in the Philippines, and we
shall not fail to discharge them at any
cost. 1t is too late to debate the ques-
ton whether it were wiser to carry on
in the Philippines purely naval cam
paign, or the question, whether destiny
or our own choice involved us there;
we have assumed responsibilities toward
peaceable people there, toward Spain
and toward the world. We must establish
order as preliminary to the considera-
ton of any questions as to the ultimate
destiny and disposition of the archipel-
ago.
We are very proud of the magnificent
achievements of our navy and army
and are glad if European misapprehen-
sion as to our naval construction and
seamanship is removed. We are glad
if truer appreciation of the vast war
resources of the United States prevails,
glad only because it gives security in
the hemisphere in which we are placed,
not because it is threat to Europe.
American diplomacy has, l think,
been peculiarly sentimental. Our moral
Intervention for the oppressed and our
late Intervention by arms have been
in the interest of liberty, not gain. We
see opening before us the wide door of
commerce throughout the world and it
must not be thought unnatural, in spite
of differences and strifes, if peculiar
friendliness is felt by us for those of our
own language and race across the chan
mel, but no one has suggested that
for this either Great Britain or the
United States should assume all the
quarrels and animosities of others. The
friendship of the United States for Eng
land is not enmity for the rest of the
world.
The United States is now more than
ever in sympathy with every practical
suggestion tending to diminish the in.
fusnce of arms in the determination of
international questions. Arbitration is
halted because of difficulty in finding a
purely judicial tribunal that would con-
slider international questions with the
same Indifference and the same i'm
partiality that characterize courts in
trial of individual. When such tribu.
nal is attained disarmament will be-.
America will hail that day. prolonged
applause.
Addresses were also made by Minis
ter of Commerce M. Miller, Justice
Brewer of the United States supreme
court, and Ambassador Porter.
