FRAupuLENT NEWS.

At least three New York newspapers

conscienceless liars they can secure, for
the especial purpose Of taking news for
their respective local, telegraphic and
cable columns. The fake news prefer

Is either slanderous or designed to
foment discomfort and foster disturb
ances. It is perIlously unsafe for any
honest newspaper to Gull anything in
the way of news from the New York
Herald, the New York Journal, or the
New York World. as there are too
many chances that the news copied
will prove to be false--lies devised and

A very moderate instance OF this
fake news of the Herald is exposed by
the New York Sun. These things are
SO common that no paper could possi-

itself to that work exclusively. The
Sun prints the following paragraphs
in parallel columns:

HI Paso Times
Free silver at 16 to land no other
ratio can be considered for moment
would give us much higher range OF
prices 1t would certainly give us the
trade of silver nations. which alone would
bring the commercial nations to bimet-
allism, SO as to more surely maintain the
metals at fixed relative values. Again,
free silver would destroy the destru tive
competition with us In the worlds mar
kets OF great nations now doing, and that
VIII continue to do, business with a cheaper
money than gold. 1t would be no longer
possible for their wheat growers to sell a
oushel Of wheat in Europe for so cents in
gold and then take this gold and buy dol
lars worth Of silver and coin It into that
much OF their money, and pay With it
double the debts, taxes and fixed charge
our farmers car pay with their busnel
sold in foreign markets. And the price
of the wheat sold abroad in deadly COM
petition with the wheat of silver couu-
tries regulates the price of every busael
sold at home This enormous differ nee
in the debt paying power of bushel of
wheat to the wheat farmers of silver lands
and our own has become possible only
since we, by shutting the minis to silver
the two dollars apart, till the gold would
buy twice the silver it would once and
that it ought to buy now. When an ounce
of gold would buy only sixteen ounces of
silver. then 90 cents in gold would only
buy 80 cents in silver and the power OF u
bushel of wheat in all lands would be the
same to pay debts, taxes and the charges
that do not fall with the price OF pro-
ducts, such as charges fixed by monopo-
lies trusts, custom and flaw. The wheat
growers OF silver countries, who are our
principal competitors abroad, can sell a
bushel Of wheat tor the same amount "
silver they always could, for they can
get it coined into about as much money rs
formerly. But we cant get it coined into
money at all any more, and can convert
1T only into one-half of the gold money
We could once This gives them their old
profitable price and give US the ruinous
half prices of recent years, and has made
this mightiest of farm industries very un-
profitable, unless we happen TO have the
unprecedented crops of the last two years.
and they have a wheat famine at the same
time We can destroy this ruinous COM
petition only by open minis and the ro-
storation of the old ratio. But even II
we could not restore the ratio quite we
could greatly reduce this deadly competi-
ton in any event. by the way the Times

Governor Northen's address in Boston, as
published in your paper today, it would
be God send to this country. Your
humble servant doesn't often read speeches
or lectures, but a struggling sentence or
two caught my attention and | read the
governors speech from beginning to end.
1t was mastery, truthful and 10 the point,
have often wished to express myself as
he did, but my humble position in life
did not permit me to do so. or | might say,
III other words, that | thought such an ex-
preston should come from man con-
spicuous in National affairs; otherwise it
would be disregarded
l think that an extra edition of your
paper containing the address should be
printed and disseminated over Texas, es-
pecially among the negroes. The negro
preachers and teachers should use it as a
text book in church and school. The bene-
fits to the colored race would be everlast-
ing and the governors name be handed
down to posterity as one who loved his
human kind. Ole Bige.
