to help put out the fife, while his daughter
fastened to the barW' to. fight the blaze.
She made her way into the building, and

loose

Secretary Cages Contention.
o the Editor OF The Evening Star:

10 the Euftor OF The Evening Star:
In an interview with a Star reporter last
Saturday Secretary Gage is made authority
for the statement that in the event of Mr.
Bryans election the country might go to a
silver basis. If the views of the Secretary
are correct 1t seems to me the gold standard
law is not worth the paper on which ii is
printed. The object of that law. If it had
any object at all, was to make silver dol
lars, silver certificates and treasury notes
equal to gold. And if this is so. payment of
coin bonds and interest on coin bonds in
silver is the same as payment In gold. Only
as matter of convenience would il make
the slightest difference to the public cred
itor whether he was paid in gold or silver.
and as to the government II GER
tanly would be more business-like to pay
in gold rather than in silver, because as
the Secretary states, the government has
on hand $220,OO0,0O0 in god and only s16,-
o0,OOo in silver. If President Bryan want
ed to exploit his ''perverse ingenuity to
break down the gold standard how would
he go about it? The $l6.0O00O0 in silver
would not run the government more than
two weeks, to say nothing of paying inter-
est on coin bonds or of redeeming them at
maturity. Where is the balance of the sill
yer to come from? In the absence of any
statute authorizing the free and unlimit-
ed coinage of silver dollars our silver sup
ply must be limited to the silver bullion in
the treasury purchased under the act of
1890. But this kind of silver dollar, al
though coined at the ratio of 16 to l, has
been made equal to the gold dollar by
pledge of public faith and confirmed by the
gold standard act. The Secretary is not
speaking of the danger of free coinage. but
the danger of a silver basis under existing
laws.
1 fail to see how there could be the least
danger of the endless chain of silver
payments by the government and the re-
turn of silver into the treasury to the
clusion of gold, which the Secretary calls
"a circuit of silver out of the treasury into
the homes of the people, from the homes
of the people into the banks, from the
banks into the custom house and into the
hands of the collectors of internal revenue"
The currency of the country, whether of
gold, silver or silver certificates, being in
all its forms of equal value, what object
could anybody have in exchanging one for
the other before payment of taxes or Gus
toms duties? And where would President
Bryan his Secretary of the Treasury, IL
'perverse ingenuity should take such
shape get authority to compel payments of
government dues in silver? There is none
and no Congress would ever confer such
power.
The best interests of the country, In my
judgment, require the defeat of Mr.. Bryan,
but it seems to me our worthy Secretary of
the Treasury is not convincing.
GOLD STANDARD MAN.

The Other Side.


The collision between an electric car and
a fire engine some weeks ago at 9th and r
streets, which resulted in the death of one
fireman and the injury of several Others
has stirred up some people to demand a
return to the side STOP although it
vas perfectly plain that, as the car had no
occasion to stop at r street, the accident
would have occurred just the same if the
near-side rule had still been in operation.
The "near-side" people do not seem to be
able to see the other side at ALL Even the
president of the Washington Traction and
Electric Company says that during the
time the near-side rule was in operation
there were no accidents for which the near
side stop could be held responsible. Against
this statement, however, we have the re-
port of Coroner Carr to the effect that out
of five fatal accidents which had occurred
in connection with the street cars at cross
fngs three of them were due to the
stopping of the cars on the near side
The far-Side rule has now been in opera
ton since March Is, and in that time so
far as l have read the reports, there has
charged to that system. The people who
at that time advocated the far side are, 1
believe, more than ever convinced that 1t is
much more convenient and less dangerous
than the near side. For few months now
we have been in line with other cities lex
cept Baltimore) in this matter, and it GER
fanny YOU'D De q pity, a1ter getting out
of this rut, to go back to ii again.
For long time Washington was behind
other cities in the matter of rapid transit.
While the people of other cities, even much
smaller than Washington. were enjoying
electric cars, with the overhead trolley
Washington had nothing better than cable
cars, and those on only three lines, while
the rest were horse cars. Now that we
have, after so many years, a first-class
system of electric cars, some people seem to
want to hamper them they will be no
better than the old cable cars.
1t seems to me that some more reasonable
and more practicable way could be found to
guard against collisions between the cleo
trio cars and the fire engines than the pro-
posed regulation requiring full stops at GER
tain crossings. / believe this is the first
serious collision with a fire engine which
has occurred since we have had electric
cars In the city. and 1t would seem that
the precautions which have been taken
have been almost SUFFICIENT to prevent ac-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1900-08-28

cfdents Of this kind. But the fact that this
collision occurred proves that some addi-
ttonal precaution il necessary. But instead
OF requiring full stops at these crossings
which are specially dangerous / believe
collisions could be. effectually guarded
against by requiring the cars to slow down
as they approach these crossings TO a speed
OF say three miles an hour. This would
enable the motorman both to see and TO
hear the fire engines and moving at this
slow speed he could easily stop the car IL
necessary.
regulation of this kind would in my
judgment, prevent all such accidents N
