By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
MADRID, May 24-The city is fast
assuming an aspect of feverish ex-
pectancy as the day for the royal nup-
tials approaches. King Alfonso's de-
parture for the frontier today to meet
his bride was the first event of the
elaborate official program.
The Puerta del Sol and other centers
present a scene of intense animation
tonight with crowds of provincials in
picturesque costumes. Throughout the
day the streets were filed with arrv-
ing troops. sailors and marines. with
bands and banners, coming to greet the
royal couple.
Car Strewn With Roses
The royal train was sumptuously APP
pointed. The car in which Princess
Ena was to be received was strewn
with white roses, lilies and chysan-
themumS.
The king has changed the program so
that the signing of the wedding con-
tract will occur in the church monas-
terry instead OF at the prado palace.
Cardinal Sancho, archbishop of Toledo,
has been officially designated to per-
form the marriage.
The choir will consist of 200 artists

TOM JouSsoS.s SUGGESTIONS.

Thomas l.. johnson, the famous Ohio
Democrat who is now and may become Il
still greater national figure in politics,
recently advanced some sound advice to
voters OF all political faiths. OF course he
Is a Democrat and was giving Demo-
cratic advice, but it is good for all.
In speaking OF the wave OF reform
throughout the country, aud especially N
the large cities, Johnson says in sub
stance that there Is a determination
among the masses to run down the graft
ers and the corruptiopists Id office.
Political bosses are being detEroued ms
never before, and that much good will be
accomplished.
Then he calls attention Ia the point
not generally thought or. That, while
the voters arc fully determined to have
cleaner government in the cities and
nation, he asks what DO the voters
propose to do about better laws? In
many instances the present laws have
been made III the interest OF the co.por-
atioDs and rich men. y cleaner and
better set of officers III the cities and
patton will protect all citizens. hut as de-
sirablc rs it may be, the rich men who
have the laws will be able to do still bet
ter towards augmenting their wealth .ld
expressing the poor simply because their
laws made in times OF graft-will better
protect them in their rights.
In nIlar u.nrl, 81, ,r,I.tI ...
facturcr who has the laws OF the Cover H.
men; back OF him to collect II tax from
the consumer, will be still more secure.
lie secs the voter determined to enforce

that voter has been lulled into repose by
the reform he has accomplished in the
character Of officers elected to cnfor ce

GOLD HELPING SILVER.

The steady and large increase in the
worlds production OF gold is having an
apprecisble effect upon the value Of
silver. Thus is something that has
escaped the attention OF our political
economists. The price OF silver has
made u remarkable advance during the
last twelve months, but the advance Is
not altogether due to coinage require
ments in this country or elsewhere.
One cause Of the advance Is that gold
is being produced, proportionately, in
greater quantity than is silver, and the
more gold there is produced The higher
will the price OF silver SO.
Tho value Of any staple commodity Is
determined by tho abundance or scar.
city Of such commodity-there being a
standard by which its value lie :ictermin
cd. In the case Of silver its value Is
determined by gold-the worlds stand.
ard OF value. II the production OF gold
increase in n ratio greater than the
truth that the prlcn OF the scarcer metal
will advance. In other words and to
illustrate: IL gold production increases
Within a given period 80 per cent, and
silver production increases during the
same period only % per cent it is clear
that tho purchasing power Of silver will
become greater. Such arc the cordi.
tons that prevail, and that have pre-
vailed during the last fifteen years.
That the production Of silver might be
increased or that the annual supply OF
gold may fall of are possibilities that
we are not here concerned with; We
are dealing with things rs they are and
moi M they might be or become. Let
III take figures Of gold aud silver produc.
ton in 1890 and compare them with
those OF 1904; they will diagram what
We are endeavoring to make clear:
In 1890 tho worlds production OF gold
was G,59l, AGO ounces; in 1901 it was
l6, 100, 40 ounces, an increase during
the fifteen years OF 15l ) G per cent.
In 1890 the worlds silver production
was l3i ,lOi, l0i ounces; i'll 1901 it was

years, or for even Il shorter period, it is

the expression "lG to 1" will be fully re-
