MEXICO TALKING OF
GOING ON GOLD BASIS

Mexico City. Dec. 2-The premium on
New York exchange ranged around
1.6S and 1.69 today. There was little
business done, although most of the
merchants regard silver as having a
small chance of permanent recovery.
The dominant topic in business and
financial circles is the gold standard
and how best 10 get the country on a
gold basis. In one respect the struggle
outlined over the gold standard is one
of city against country; the large farm
ers and planters. it is said. fearing that
the gold standard, even though the
present dollars are retained and given
an artificial value. will cause a rise in
the wages of their Iaborers, and hence
they are strong partisans of silver.
Every drop of a cent in the value of
silver means a heavy loss to the rail-
ways and other large corporations.

Victoria, B. c., Dec. 2,-The steamer
Edith, which was beaehed just in time
to save her, when she returned leak
ing from the cape two weeks ago. is
having four plates removed in dry

is a long scratch and then another dent,
as though the steamer struck some
submerged obstacle. driving away a

As he was swinging clear Of the vessel

GLENN'S SECOND TRIAL
Another CourtmartiaI on the Old
Charge of Cruelty to Ma
tiVes in Samar.

Manila, Dec. 2.-OrderS have been re-
ceived from Washington directing that
Major Glenn of the Fifth Infantry shall
be put on trial a second time for al
legged cruelty, committed during the Sa
mar campaign. Major Glenn is charged
with having ordered the execution of
several native guides for misleading
the American column sent against the
enemys stronghold.
Major Glenn himself reported the in
cident, which has been the subject of
an extensive inquiry for several
months past. Major General Chaffee
ordered two Investigations to be made
by Inspector General COlmOre and Ma
jor Watts. who made inquiries. Gen
eral Chaffee forwarded their reports to
Secretary Root before he relinquished
his command, and without making any
recommendation. Secretary Root now
orders General Davis to formulate
charges against Major Glenn and con-
vene a courtmartial.
Major Glenn Is now commanding a
post at Bayabambang, district of Pan
eastman, Luzon, and he was today or
dered to hold himself in readiness to
appear here for trial. 1t is said the
trial will reopen the entire question
of the Samar campaign and consume
some time. It is expected that Major
Glenn viii inform the court that he
desires Major General Chaffee and
Brigadier General Jacob Smith to be
called as witnesses, but it is possible
that their dispositions win be taken in
stead.
Major Glenn was tried by courtmar-
tial at Manila last May for administer
ing the water cure" to natives during
the Samar campaign and was found
guilty and sentenced to one months
suspension of duty and a fine of $500
President Roosevelt approved the find
ings of the court. Major Glenn returned
to duty in September

came beggars and tramps. Their
power of purchasing was gone and
thus was taken from the farmer a
very large per cent. of the market
for his produce. The results were,
all kinds of farm products sold, if
they sold at all, at ruinous prices
and farmers, with bountiful crops,
could only barely live. These were
some of the conditions that follow
ed the success of the tariff re-
formers. And similar effects have
always followed the adoption of
free-t trade theories in this country.
How quickly things began to change
for the better when the Republicans
won the next battle.
Almost like magic capital began
to seek the old channels of trade
and business to revive. The fur
naces were rekindled, the factories
opened and business enterprises
of all kinds started up. The pros
perity nnder Republican rule and
the Dingley bill, contrary to the
prophecies of the Bryanites and
tariff reformers, has been contin-
uous and increasing till today there
is no country on earth, and never
has been a country that for so long
time has enjoyed such wonderful
prosperity and commercial activity

Double-barreled Convention.

The Democrats and Populists
held their convention at Erie, Tues
day.
1t was surprising to note the meek
ness and humility with which the
Pops submitted to the swallowing
process. There were a few yaps
from the Pops, big gulp and some
contortions by the Democrats and
all was over. The Pops laid quiet
in their new bed, and the Demo
Gratis seemed to go into state of
lethergy like the serpent after it
swallows a good sized toad.
The Democratic convention was
called 10 order in the forenoon by
Tohn f. Roe. H. P. Fqrrelly was
made chairman and John Wall Sec
retary. John Locke was dispatched
to the Pop camp to inform the al
lies that the Democrats were ready
for a Joint convention. Mr.. Locke
returned in due time and announced
that the sentiment among the Pops
was for fusion on some kind of g
basis. He had interviewed George
Coffman, the Democratic steerer in
the Pop camp. He likewise inform
ed his waiting brethren that the
Pops had appointed a conference
committee of thirteen. The Demo
Gratis did likewise and adjourned
for dinner.
In the meantime the Pops had
assembled at the court house anc
organized by electing Geo. E. Smith
chairman and Wesley Stanfeld sec
retary.

The human mind seems to be so
constituted that it rapidly rebounds
and soon regains its usual buoyancy
after crushing sorrow or bitter ex,
perience of any kind. In times OF
great prosperity and happiness,
when everything is running smoothly
and the current of prosperity flows
along with ali unruffled surface, we
are apt to forget our past bitter eX-
periences and look only on the
roseate side of life, forgetting our
sorrows and the evils that have be-
set us, and even to drop into the
same errors that caused US trouble
before.
Now while prices are good, crops
immense, and everybody that wants
to be is prosperous and happy, 1t is
well for us to reflect that once be-
fore, in very recent years, as peo:
pie, we were prosperous and had
no reason on earth to be dissatisfied,
But there came day when, IN an
unguarded moment We inclined
our ears to the tempter with the in
sidious promises and We fell from
our high estate of prosperity and
happiness to the conditions OF want
and business stagnatlon of '93 and 4
And yet, even now, IN these
times of great prosperity OF the
country at large when every factory
in the country is running on full
time with full complement of men
when labor is fully employed a

everything the farmer has to sci

ditions combine to make US happy,
contented people, we begin to hear
the same old whisper of tariff re-
form with which the minds of the
people were poisoned in '92. 1t has
strangely familiar sound and to
some of our Democratic friends
seems exceedingly sweet. "Tariff
reform and tariff for revenue only"
are the rocks on which the ship of
prosperity has frequently been
wrecked in this country.
The history of our country re-
cites several instances where pros
perity was turned to calamity and
happiness to misery by listening to
the insinuating voice of tariff re-
formers. But we do not have to re-
sort to the pages of history or rack
our memories very hard to recall
the bitterness, misery, want and
sorrow brought about by needing
that cry of '92. The years of 'S8
to 'o2 were years of plenty and
prosperity, labor was well employ
ed, our commercial and manufact-
uring interests were prosperou
and the farmer was enjoying good
times. But as soon as the success
of the tariff reformers was known,
business began to lag and a pail Of
gloom and inaction settled over
the country.
Business men became afraid tc
stock up, the merchant began to re-
fuse credit, the capitalist to call ir
his money and to refuse loans, and q
spirit of distrust and uncertainty
seized upou all. Soon a failure in
business circles was reported here,
and another one there. and another
somewhere else. Shortly the fail
| ure of some business firm caught {
? country bank, the country bank
, crippled its correspondent in the
city. The failure soon seemed tC
become an epidemic and one crash
of big financial concern followed
another in rapid succession till the
whole country was in panic and
financial ruin stalked abroad anc
stared every man in the face. Ther
it was that the factories closed
down because they could not sci
their goods or borrow capital tC
hold their product. And labor wa
thrown out of employment and th
men started to tramp through th'
n country or were fed at the soul
houses while the women and child
rem suffered in poverty and want a
home.
Values of all property depreciat
ed and the surplus of the farm
seemed to scarcely find buyer a
any price. The Democrats an(
their allies in Congress, true t
ahti-election promises, proceede'
to wipe out the wholesome pro
visions of the Mckinley law an
