locomotive building since 1894, when

growth of business almost up to the

William j. Bryan makes a brave
show of fidelity to free coinage at the
ratio of 16 to l. Meanwhile. the
market price Of silver has fallen to
less than rs pence an ounce in London,
as compared with nearly 81 pence in
1895. and range of between 435s and
343s pence in 1890. OF course neither
facts, figures nor prices appeal to Mr..
Bryan or to anybody else who main
tains that the government can legis-
late any desired value into silver. Col.
Bryan is not so frank as his friends,
the populists, who argue that if the
government can do this for silver it
can do the same for paper, and there
fore irredeemable paper money is both
the cheapest and the best.

1t is said that 100 members of the
Merchants Club of Chicago have
pledged themselves to subscribe $1,000
each for the establishment of a munich
pal pawnshop, where money is to be
loaned to people in urgent need of
money, at the rate of l per cent a
month. A pawnshop conducted by
those who really desire to help the less
fortunate might be of great value, and
similar institution is in successful
operation in Paris, but the rate of in
terest proposed is altogether too high.

are to be assisted at critical times, the
philanthropic pawnbrokers should not

be bonanza to every money lender.

on the other hand. speaking for the
New York democracy, says that free
silver as an issue is dead. This may
mean that Mr.. Croker will use his in

little cause for uneasiness. The Massa-

P~oUGHKEEPsIE. Jan. 19-The following
opinion was filed to-day by Justice Barnard
in regard to the matter of the application OF
John d. Rockefeller to quash assessment:
There is no merit in this application. The
owner has a large tract Of land in Westchestcr
county. and he is a nonresident. Parts Of the
tract are occupied by tenants or employees of
the owner, and parts are unoccu pied except by
the owner. The assessors have assessed the
occupied parts to the occupants and the re-
maindsr to the owner as nonresident lands.

The objection made by the owner to the assess
