The Effect of Free Coinage. THE REPUBLICAN DOCTRINE. By free coinage it is meant that anybody—individuals, and corporations, natives and foreigners alike—may send bullion to the United States mints and have it coined into dollars free of charge, except the cost of the alloy employed. The dollars thus returned to the owners of the bullion would each be a legal tender for the payment of 100 cents of indebtedness. The word "unlimited," as used in this connection, means that there should be no restriction as to the amount of bullion thus received for coinage—all the silver in the world it you please. "Independent" coinage means that this country alone, without the help of any foreign nation, shall undertake this unlimited coinage scheme, and, of course, the coins would circulate only in the United States. This is the "free, independent and unlimited coinage of silver." Finally, the ratio at which this coinage would be conducted—"16 to 1"—means that each sixteen pounds of silver would be coined into as much legal tender money as each one pound of gold. Our mints and those of all the great commercial nations of Europe are to-day open to free coinage of gold. None of them is open to silver. Our gold coin is accepted in any market in the world at the equivalent of its face value, not because of the mint stamp, but because the bullion in it is worth that amount. Persons who have payments to make in Europe send either gold coin or gold bars. It goes on its intrinsic value. Now, in the form of bullion it takes about thirty pounds of silver to equal one pound of gold. The Chicago proposition to make sixteen pounds of silver coins equal a pound insignificant coins could be imposed only upon our people. The dollar containing 53 cents of silver could be forced by law upon creditors in this country as legal tender for 100 cents of debt. We have in existence today nearly 600 millions of silver dollars and silver bullion against which circulating notes have been issued and these have thus far been kept at an equality with gold dollars because the Government has ceased to create any more of this legal tender silver, and has kept the amount already in existence as good as gold by preserving the national credit and redeeming its obligations in gold when demanded. But if the United States placed its mints at the free service of every foreigner who chose to have 53 cents worth of silver stamped into a dollar with which he could then discharge a hundred cents of debt to our own citizens—with every miner in this country and every owner of old spoons turning his silver into dollars without end—it stands to reason that the Government could not keep this vast unlimited mass of silver dollars at a parity with gold, and they would circulate at home and abroad, like the dollars of free coinage of Mexico, at their worth in AS VIEWED FROM THE DEMOCRATIC STANDPOINT. (Extract from Bryan's speech.) In reply to the argument that improved machinery has lessened the cost of producing silver, it is sufficient to say that the same is true of the production of gold, and yet, notwithstanding that, gold has risen in value. As a matter of fact the cost of production does not determine the value of the precious metals; except as it may affect the supply. If, for instance, the cost of producing gold should be reduced 90 per cent, without any increase in the output, the purchasing power of an ounce of gold would not fall. So long as there is a monetary demand sufficient to take at a fixed mint price all the gold and silver produced, the cost of production need not be considered. It is often objected that the prices of gold and silver cannot be fixed in relation to each other because of the variation in the relative production of the metals. This argument also overlooks the fact that if the demand for both metals at a fixed price is greater than the supply of both, relative production becomes immaterial. In the early part of the present century, the annual production of silver was worth at the coinage ratio, about three times as much as the annual production of gold; whereas, soon after 1849 the annual production of gold became worth about three times as much, at the coinage ratio, as the annual production of silver, and as yet, owing to the maintenance of the bimetallic standard, the enormous changes in the relative values of the metals. If it is asserted by our opponents that the free coinage of silver is intended only for the benefit of the mine-owners, it must be remembered that free coinage cannot benefit the mine owners any more than demonization took away, and it must also be remembered that the loss which the demonization of silver has brought to the mine owners is insignificant compared to the loss which this policy brought to the rest of the people. The restoration of silver will bring to the people generally many times as much advantage as the miners can obtain from it. While it was not the purpose of free coinage to especially aid any particular class, yet those who believe that the restoration of silver is needed by the whole people should not be deterred because an incidental benefit will come to the mine-owners. The erosion of forts, the deepening of harbors, the improvement of rivers, the erosion of public buildings, all these confer incidental benefits upon individuals and communities, and yet these incidental benefits do not deter us from making appropriations for these purposes whenever such appropriations are necessary for the public good. The argument that a silver dollar is heavier than a gold dollar, and that there... But if the United States placed its mints at the free service of every foreigner who chose to have 53 cents worth of silver stamped into a dollar with which he could then discharge a hundred cents of debt to our own citizens—with every miner in this country and every owner of old spoons turning his silver into dollars without end—it stands to reason that the Government could not keep this vast unlimited mass of silver dollars at a parity with gold, and they would circulate at home and abroad, like the dollars of free coinage of Mexico, at their worth in bullion. Persons who visit Mexico get a valuable object lesson in the effect of unlimited coinage. A man may get a meal and when he puts down an American dollar in payment will get back as change a Mexican dollar, which contains six grains more silver than our own. He gets a demonstration of the fact that it is the credit of our Government which keeps the silver dollar at 47 cents more than its intrinsic value just as it keeps its paper notes, which have no intrinsic value at all, at an equality with a gold dollar. "Free, unlimited and independent coinage at 16 to 1" would mean dollars worth only 53 cents. The wage earner and the man on salary would be paid in these, thus outting his income nearly one-half and every debtor could pay his creditor with these depreciated dollars. If it ever became evident that the American people were dishonest and so foolish as to adopt such a policy there would be a rush to anticipate its effects. The 600 millions gold in the country would at once be hoarded or exported, and this enormous contraction would precipitate a panic, with all its dread sequel of prostrated business, idle industries and unemployed labor. In the crash and in the subsequent readjustment to the depreciated currency the rich would get richer, and it would require a generation of organized agitation to bring back wages to their present relative purchasing power. The free coinage of silver by the United States at the ratio of 16 to 1 is a simple enough proposition to understand. It means that the law will make legal tender for debts sixteen parts of silver as the equal of one part of gold, whereas, in the markets of the world, the bullion value is about thirty-one parts of silver to one of gold. In other words, an ounce of silver, which is worth now about 66 cents, is to be declared by law to be worth one-sixteenth of an ounce of gold, which is 129 cents. This would make 63 cents worth of silver pass as legal tender for $1. Does it not follow logically when every person can have unlimited quantities of silver coined into dollars for himself, and have them received as legal tender, that at once all gold will disappear? Why should gold be kept in a country where its value is depreciated by law, when it will pass current at full value in other countries? Thus the exact purport of the proposed silver law is to make about 53 cents' worth of the metal into a dollar, and the contention that the passage of such a law will raise the price of silver outs no figure in the matter. It will not do it, in the first place, and if it did the price could not be kept up against the increased production and the flood of silver which would inevitably be poured into a land where its purchasing power was doubled by legal enactment. Silver would be too valuable for use abroad until its holders should have absorbed the material wealth of the United States, and after they had done that it would fall in price here also. The United States could not by act of Congress, make silver legal tender in any other country than this. The direct profit, would still be to the silver mine owners. The production of silver in the United States last year was 46,000,000 ounces, and the mine owners admit it could have been greatly increased. The difference on each ounce between 129 cents, which the law is to pronounce it worth, and 66 cents, which in the present selling price, is 63 cents. The argument that a silver dollar is heavier than a gold dollar, and that therefore silver is less convenient to carry in large quantities, is completely answered by the silver certificate, which is as easily carried as the gold certificate or any other kind of paper money. There are some who, while admitting the benefits of bimetallism, object to coinage at the present ratio. If any are deceived by this objection they ought to remember that there are bimetallists who are earnest in endeavoring to secure it at any other ratio to 16 to 1. We are opposed to any changes of the ratio for two reasons. First, because a change would produce great injustice; and second, because a change in the ratio is not necessary. A change would produce injustice, because if effected in the manner usually suggested it would result in an enormous contraction in the volume of standard money. If, for instance, it was decided by international agreement to raise the ratio throughout the world to 32 to 1 the change might be effected in any one of three ways: The silver dollar could be doubled in size so that the new silver dollar would weigh thirty-two times as much as the present gold dollar, or the present gold dollar could be reduced one-half in weight so that the present silver dollar would weigh thirty-two times as much as the new gold dollar. Those who have advised a change in the ratio have usually suggested that the silver dollar be doubled. If this change were made it would necessitate the recourage of four billions of silver into two billions of dollars. There would be an immediate loss of two billions of dollars either to individuals or to the Government. But this would be the least of the injury. A shrinkage of one-half of the silver money of the world would mean a shrinkage of one-fourth of the total volume of metallic money. This contraction, by increasing the value of the dollar, would virtually increase the debts of the world billions of dollars and decrease still more the value of the property of the world as measured by dollars. Besides this immediate result, such a change in the ratio would permanently decrease the annual addition to the world's supply of money, because the annual silver product when coined into dollars twice as large would make only half as many dollars. The people of the United States would be injured by a change in the ratio, not because they produce silver, but because they own property and owe debts, and they cannot afford to thus decrease the value of their property or increase the burden of their debts. We are told that the restoration of bimetallism would be a hardship upon those who have entered into contracts payable in gold coin, but this is a mistake. It will be easier to obtain the gold with which to meet a gold contract than most of the people can use silver than it is now when every one is trying to secure gold. The Chicago platform expressly declares in favor of such legislation as may be necessary to prevent for future the demonetization of any kind of legal-tender money by private contract. Such contracts are objected to on the ground that they are against public policy. No one questions right of legislatures to keep them.

Blood in its natural state contains a surprising amount of pure air, amounting to nearly seven-eighths of its entire bulk. We are told that the restoration of bimetallism would be a hardship upon those who have entered into contracts payable in gold coin, but this is a mistake. It will be easier to obtain the gold with which to meet a gold contract when most of the people can use silver than it is now when every one is trying to secure gold. The Chicago platform expressly declares in favor of such legislation as may be necessary to prevent for the future the demonetization of any kind of legal-tender money by private contract. Such contracts are objected to on the ground that they are against public policy. No one questions the right of legislatures to axe the rate of interest which can be collected by law; there is far more reason for preventing private individuals from setting aside the legal-tender law. The money which is by law made a legal tender must, in the course of ordinary business, be accepted by 99 out of every 100 persons. Why should the one-hundredth man be permitted to exempt himself from the general rule? Special contracts have a tendency to increase the demand for a particular kind of money, and thus force it to a premium. Have not the people right to say that a comparatively few individuals shall not be permitted to derange the financial system of the nation in order to collect a premium in case they succeed in forcing one kind of money to a premium? There is another argument to which I ask your attention. Some of the more zealous opponents of free coinage point to the fact that thirteen months must elapse between the election and the first regular session of Congress, and assert that during that time, in case the people declare themselves in favor of free coinage, all loans will be withdrawn and all mortgages foreclosed. If these are merely prophesies indulged in by those who have forgotten the provisions of the Constitution, it will be sufficient to remind them that the President is empowered to assemble Congress in extraordinary session whenever the public good requires such action. If in November the people by their ballots declare themselves in favor of the restoration of bimetallism, the system can be inaugurated in a few months. If, however, the assertion that loans will be withdrawn and mortgages foreclosed is made to prevent such political action as the people may believe to be necessary for the preservation of their rights, then a new and vital issue is raised. Whenever it is necessary for the people as a whole to obtain consent from the owners of money and the changers of money before they can legislate upon financial questions, we shall have passed from a democracy to a plutocracy. But that time has not yet arrived. Threats and intimidation will be of no avail. The people who in 1776 rejected the doctrine that kings rule by right divine will not in this generation subscribe to a doctrine that money is omnipotent. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castle.

Weyler and Gen. Ochondo were the principals in a sensational affair which occurred shortly before the latter sailed for Spain. The death of Gen. Ochondo's nephew, who was a lieutenant in the Spanish army, was the cause of the trouble. There were ugly rumors in circulation reacting upon the young lieutenant, who was accused of conducting a treasonable correspondence with Maximo Gomez, the insurgent chief. When Weyler heard of the ruins he summoned the young man to the place and questioned him. Weyler was apparently satisfied of the young man's guilt, and told him that if he did not commit suicide in twenty-four hours he would court-martialed and shot. The lieutenant left the palsce, went to his room and in six hours was a corpse, having not himself through the heart. The affair was bushed up, and the Spanish official report said the young man died of yellow fever. Shortly afterward Gen. Ochondo arrived in Havana and learned the true story of his nephew's death. He was greatly enraged. He immediately went to the place to call Gen. Weyler to account. The meeting of the generals was most sensational. Ochondo denounced Weyler in the bitterestarma, alleging that the lieutenant was illtless and had been driven to his death. Ochondo termed Weyler a murderer and traitor, and challenged him to a duel. The men drew swords and would have fought in the palace, but for the interference of other officers. Two days later Gen. Ochondo sailed for Spain. He is greatly enraged, and says he will make the affair public when he reobes pain and demand Weyler's recall. PHILADELPHIA, Aug 14.—It is stated in this city that the Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes has started north along the Atlantic coast in quest of the Laurada. The filister sailed a week ago, bearing a portion one of the best equipped expeditions that was gone to the insurgents' aid. The remainder of the arms are to be transferred to at the distance of a hundred miles off Florida coast, from a swift tug, which shipped out of Tampa Tuesday night. WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—The Spanish government is preparing a big bill of damages to be presented to the United States on account of the numerous expeditions alleged have gone from our shores to the relief of the Cuban insurgents. In support of its claim preparation, it intends to invoke the president-established against Great Britain in the celebrated Alabama-claims awards made by the Geneva arbitration tribunal.

PRESSED A KISS UPON HIS COFFIN. FIGKIE ETHEL BARRISON ATTENDS THE FUNeral OF HER LATEST VICTIM—KILLED HIMSELF FOR LOVE OF HER. BUDA PESTH, August 14.—The funeral of Count Arthur Pallavicini, the Lieutenant of Huissarr, who committed suicide, took place yesterday. Social circles are discussing nothing else but the young man's untimely end. The Lieutenant was a handsome, well educated man, twenty-one years old. The Barrison sisters, vaudeville stars, whose career in New York and Berlin caused considerable comment, are playing here at the music hall. Count Pallavicini saw the sisters and fell deeply in love with one of them, Ethel Barrison. He obtained an introduction to the girl and after several visits proclaimed his love. The song and dance artist laughed at the count, who declared he would kill himself if she did not return his affection. She paid no attention to his threats of suicide and refused to change her manner toward him. Count Pallavicini carried out his threat last Tuesday. He was found dead on the floor in his room with a bullet through his body. In his right hand was a revolver, in his left a photograph of Ethel Barrison and a slip of paper on which was written: "I beg Miss Ethel Barrison will come to my coffin and press a kiss upon it." The strange nature of the suicide aroused much interest and there was considerable unfavorable comment on the American music hall artists. No one imagined Ethel Barrison would attend the Count's funeral, but yesterday she appeared at the service dressed in deep mourning. The suicide of the Count has caused a revival of the stories in which the Barrison sisters have figured, including the elopement of one of the sisters with Count Barnotoff. Then it was recalled that in February last Count von Wedel, a young official in the German army, was arrested for having pawned jewelry which he had purchased on installments. The disclosures which followed showed that the young man had spent quite a fortune on the Barrison sisters, and that when his money became exhausted he obtained money in the manner stated in order to spend it upon them. It was added that Count von Wedel was only one of a number of members of the nobility who had become victims of the enchantments of the American serpentine dancers. When these facts became known the sisters were ordered to cease their exhibition in Berlin and leave Germany. The Barrison sisters made their first appearance on the stage in New York several years ago. Ways of the Moose. Ambrose seemed to know a great deal about moose, after all.

London has had its Jack the Ripper, New York its Jack the Stabber, Pomona its Jack the Squezer and numerous cities and towns have had its Jack the Peeper. Pomona is now having a little experience with the latter. Several residents living in the locality of East Center street have had impressions of this peeping individual about their respective homes in the past two weeks. On last Saturday night, the fellow was plainly observed by two persons, as he stood in the shadow of a tree, and peeped occasionally in between a window curtain and the sash of the window, at persons disabling for the night. On another night last week a young woman who happened to dance out her bed-room window and see the Peeper's eye staring at her from below the curtain, she gave no evidence of her discovery, but a moment later went and put a pistol and going out of doors, fired away the best she could in the direction of the raucously individual. It is claimed that our different parties have had good views of his Jack the Peeper and it is likely one or more glimpses of him will reveal his identity. City Marshal Lorbeer is of the opinion that he knows the guilty party. AN ARGUMENTATIVE BROTHER ACROSS THE HILLS. From the Chino Champion.

"To read of Scott," says Temple Bar, "makes most others, even of the noblest and best, appear small by comparison." The writer illustrates his meaning by pointing to the contrast between Carlyle and Scott in the matter of sleep. Nothing, he says, short of a "treacle sleep," in which he could lie "sound as a stone" for hours, could satisfy Carlyle. His naps were serious things, and if any inroad from without or within were made upon them, anathemas and "waes me'" would be sure to follow, while constant nights of waking and aching would be met by Scott with scarce a grumble or by a playful one. A dog, whose yelping had disturbed his slumbers, moved Carlyle to the joosely savage wish that he had the animal by its hind legs within reach of a stone wall. "Billions and headache this morning," notes Scott, under the influence of a like infliction occurring in the very midst of his sea of troubles. "A dog howled all night and left me little sleep.

"Exactly." "She must have a seat. She looks at the 12 men, and"— "And one of them gets up and offers her a seat, of course." "Yes, of course. Now what I want is to place her among the 8 women." "My dear sir," said the other, as he turned away, "you had better tackle the problem of perpetual motion. It can't be done. If there were but 7 women it couldn't be done.

A Roland For His Oliver. Lord Esher, who, when president of the court of appeal, used to keep up a running fire of "chaff" on learned counsel, sometimes got a Roland for his Oliver—as when a young barrister, in the course of argument, stated that no reasonable person could doubt one particular proposition. "But I doubt it very much," said the judge. The youthful advocate, not one whit abashed, replied, "I said no reasonable person, my lord." The master of the rolls could only gasp, "Proceed, sir; proceed!"—Liverpool Mercury. Rank Growth. The fond Washington mother has found a new simile for her developing youngster.
