What Is the "Gold and Silver Coinage of the Constitution?"—How is Silver to Be "Restored to Its Ancient Place Beside Gold"?—The Ratio Was Once 15 to 1. The New York World, in an open letter to Candidate Bryan, recently put some grave and important questions to him, and urged him to answer if he wanted to be elected, as the people are pondering on those very questions, and their votes will turn on how they are answered and explained by him. Although these questions were put to Mr. Bryan shortly after his nomination, as yet he has not designed to reply. The World said on Sept. 2, under the caption "To Mr. Bryan:" To Mr. Bryan: On the 10th of July, the very date of your nomination for President, you addressed a communication to the World in the following words: "To the World: The restoration of silver to its ancient place by the side of gold will, in my judgment, restore the parity between money and property and thus permit a return of general prosperity. The World, which did effective work in behalf of an income tax, will find a still larger field of usefulness in supporting the gold and silver coinage of the constitution." "WILLIAM J. BRYAN." The World has consciously considered your courteous request. It has carefully studied your speeches made during and since the Chicago convention. It has studiously examined your record in Congress. It has impartially traced your career as a politician, a lawyer, an orator and editor, in order to obtain an understanding of your goal character—the hardest thing in the world to ascertain concerning any man. It has published every word that could be obtained from your eulogists and associates, with the same end in view. It has done all this in the sincere hope that the knowledge gained or impressions received would relieve the fear and apprehension excited by some of your utterances, and particularly by some parts of the Chicago platform, on which you position, and to allay if possible the fear and apprehension which you know to exist, will you answer these questions in your acceptance of the presidential nomination, which you are about to deliver? You must perceive in the preparations for a second Democratic ticket, and in the divisions and distractions among your Populist and Democratic supporters at the South, a growing danger to your cause. We assume that you wish to be elected. These are some of the points upon which you can secure votes by allaying apprehensions. You may also be able to do this by replying to these questions: 1. When in the history of this country has silver occupied "its ancient place by the side of gold!" Has there ever been a time when the two metals circulated upon equal terms as full legal tender money, with the mints open to the free and unlimited coinage of both? If so, when was it? 2. You say that the restoration of that condition will, in your judgment, "restore the parity between money and property." Will you kindly explain what you mean by this? What is the "parity between money and property?" Do you mean that the "restoration" will put up prices, undo the cheapening effects of improved machinery, transportation, etc., and increase the cost of living to all classes of the community? If so, will you kindly explain how this increase in the cost of all commodities is likely to promote "a return of general prosperity?" Will the workingman whose wages are stationary or nearly so, be made more prosperous by having to pay more for his flour, meat, groceries, chickens, eggs, fruits, vegetables, clothing, household utensils, rent, and all the rest of it? Will even the farmer be better off with a double price for his produce, in the wholly improbable contingency that Europe will consent to pay it, if he must pay double for everything he has to buy? 3. Mexico does not, India does not. None of the Central or South American States does. We know of no country that does, of no example that can be studied. 11. Is there any country in the world now on the silver basis which is as prosperous as the United States, even in its time of depression? Is there any in which wages are so high as they are here, or in which the dollar received in wages will buy so much? Is there any silver basis country that has a large commerce, prosperous manufacturers, or a wall-to-do agricultural class? Is it not a fact that in every silver-basis country in the world object and hopeless poverty on the part of the masses is the rule? 12. Will you explain to us for our enlightenment and guidance how our country is to escape like conditions if we go to a silver basis, or how we are to avoid the lape to that basis if we adopt free and unlimited coinage at 16 to 1 when the commercial ratio between the metals is about twice that! 13. And if you tell us, as many free coinage advocates do, that free coinage will raise the commercial value of silver to the coinage rate, will you explain to us how in that case free coinage is to make money cheaper or easier to get; how it is to relieve "the debtor class?" How is it to increase the price of wheat or any other commodity? 14. You may be aware that there was last year on deposit in the savings banks of this State alone $643,873,574. This enormous sum belonged to 1,615,178 depositors, giving an average to each of $399 63. It represents mainly the small savings of the thrifty poor. Nearly all of it has been deposited since the present standard of value was adopted by the government. Do you think it fair or just to impair it by 47 per cent or by even one per cent the value of the money in which these deposits were earned and in which today they would be paid? 15. The "free in prices" which you pre- The World has consciously considered your courteous request. It has carefully studied your speeches made during and since the Chicago convention. It has studiously examined your record in Congress. It has impartially traced your career as a politician, a lawyer, an orator and editor, in order to obtain an understanding of your real character—the hardest thing in the world to ascertain concerning any man. It has published every word that could be obtained from your culigators and associates, with the same end in view. It has done all this in the sincere hope that the knowledge gained or impressions received would relieve the fear and apprehension excited by some of your utterances, and particularly by some parts of the Chicago platform, on which you stand. In this connection it is only just to remind you that the plank in the Chicago platform seems to reflect upon the integrity of the Supreme Court and indicating a purpose to pace that tribunal in order to secure a desired decision, and the other resolution denouncing "government by injunction," have been severely criticised by conservative and law-abiding citizens. The people have a profound and abuding respect for their highest court, even when they are disappointed in their decisions. They would be glad to hear your interpretation of the resolution, which is generally accepted as a stupid and intemperate attack upon the Supreme Court and the avowal of the purpose to reconstruct it in accordance with the beliefs of the platform makers should your election present the opportunity. Is this your understandance? Definition is also called for of the resolution denouncing "abitrary interference by federal authorities in local matters." This is generally believed to mean "free riot with free silver," as well as sympathy with lawlessness and disapprobation of President Cleveland's action at the time of the Chicago strike. Yet all who believe in law and order as the very life and root basis of civilized government regard this one of the most highly creditable acts of his administration. What is your view of it? Are you, Mr. Bryan, for actual and practicable bimetallism—the equal coinage of gold and silver at a ratio that will permit the free circulation of both money metals, as the ratio of 16 to 1 has never done. When you say that you favor free coinage by the United States without waiting for the aid or consent of any foreign government, do you mean that the concurrence of the great commercial nations with which we trade is not desirable and even indispensable if the country is not to sink to a silver basis? Do you really favor the monetary isolation of the United States in the family of great nations? Do we not want our money to be accepted at its face value all over the world? You insist upon "the right of the people of the United States to legislate for themselves upon all questions." This right is not questioned by any, so far as we know. But the right does not imply the duty or the wisdom. Congress has the right to declare that our surplus agricultural products shall be sold abroad. But would such an assertion of the national independence benefit the country? Would it have helped the farmers of the United States to have had the $3,000,000,000 of exports in the last two years kept in the home market, or to have sold them for a depreciated currency while buying in return at gold prices? If you would not favor the isolation of the United States why should you desire its financial isolation? In the interest of a clear understanding of BRIEFLY ANSWERED. SOME OF THE STOCK ARGUMENTS OF THE FREE COINERS. 1 That the free coinage of silver will make money plenty. It will not. It will drive more than $600,000,000 of gold out of the country and it will require years of work by the mints to replace this amount. What 50 cents will buy at present. And free silver does not make wheat sell for $1.00 per pound in Mexico. 14 That the silver men demand bimetalism. In his Centralia speech, W. J. Bryan said: "The Democratic party has declared for a single standard of silver." That means monometallism. 15 That free silver will raise wages. From 1820 to 1865 a 49% cent paper dollar raised prices 116 per cent and only raised wages 43 per cent. The purchasing power to coerce a voter is a crime against the laws of the land, and if Messrs. Bryan and Jones know of coercing them made themselves compliants of the crime by not informing the proper authorities and taking steps for prosecution. It has been the policy of the Republican party since its organization to protect every citizen in the exercise of his legislative franchise, and it will still adhere to that policy. "While we consider the charge absurd and believe that American workingmen and employers are too independent and patriotic to coerce the Republican..." BRIEFLY ANSWERED. SOME OF THE STOCK ARGUMENTS OF THE FREE COINERS. 1. That the free coinage of silver will make money plenty. 2. It will not. It will drive more than $600,000,000 of gold out of the country and it will require years of work by the mints to replace this amount. 3. That silver was demonetized in 1873. 4. It was not. To "demonetize" means to abandon the use of as money. Up to 1873 we had coined only 8,000,000 of silver dollars; since that time we have coined 432,000,000 full legal silver dollars, and they are all in use and as full legal tender. 5. That the present hard times result from the gold standard. 6. One cause of hard times is the continual agitation for cheap money. Under the gold standard we had unexamplied prosperity, until the agitation for more silver and low tariff unsettled business. 7. That the gold standard has ruined the country. 8. The wealth of the country more than doubled from 1870 to 1890. 9. That the gold standard has cut wages in half. 10. From 1870 to 1890 wages increased 28 per cent, and their purchasing power 51 per cent. 11. That silver is not legal tender. 12. Silver dollars are legal tender to any amount for debt, public or private, and subsidiary coins are legal tender to the amount of $10.00. 13. That free coinage will make 372½ grains of pure silver for $1.00. 14. Three-fourths of the earth's population have free coinage of silver, but 372½ grains of silver sell for 53 cents. 15. That the dollar of our daddies must be restored. 16. It was restored in 1878, and over 430,000,000 of them have since been coined. 17. That this country is big enough to adopt free coinage and restore silver's value independently of the rest of the world. 18. If three-fourths of the people in the world have failed, how can 70,000,000 succeed? 19. That the "Money Power" has cornered gold and made money scarce. 20. There is $6,786,437,000 of gold in the world, and no combination could possibly corner it. 21. That the larger the volume of currency the higher are prices. 22. France has $35.77 per capita; Switzerland has $9.97. Prices are the same in both countries. 23. Primary money only is a measure of values. 24. Gold is the primary money of both France and Greece. France has $22.19 gold per capita; Greece has only 23 cents. Prices are the same in both countries. 25. That free silver will make the farmers' wheat sell for $1.00. 26. But that silver dollar will only purchase what 50 cents will buy at present. What 50 cents will buy at present. And free silver does not make wheat sell for $1.00 per hemland in Mexico. 14. That the silver men demand bimetallism. In his Centralia specob, W. J. Bryan said: "The Democratic party has declared for a single standard of silver." That means monometallism. 15. That free silver will raise wages. From 1890 to 1895 a 49% cent paper dollar raised prices 116 per cent and only raised wages 43 per cent. The purchasing power of all wages was reduced 60 per cent compared with the gold wages of 1860. 16. That free coinage will raise the price of silver to $1.29 per ounce. With an annual purchase of 2,250 tons per annum, the price fell from $1.17 to 78 cents between 1890 and 1893, and the production increased 36 per cent. 17. That nature has fixed a ratio of 1 to yidding annually at the mines, in weight about sixteen times as much silver as gold. This is not true. The ratio in which the two metals have been produced has varied continually and very greatly. According to the most trustworthy statistics we have, the ratio of gold to silver produced was about 1 to 8, from 1493 to 1520; about 1 to 48 from 1581 to 1640; and 1 to less than 4% from 1851 to 1860. Between these extremes the ratio has varied very widely. MARK HANNAANSWERS JONES THE REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE WILL PROTECT VOTERS—COERCION OF AMERICAN CITIZENS WILL BE PROMPTLY PUNISHED. CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-Chairman Hanna of the Republican National Committee this morning gave to the public the following announcement: "The manifest policy of the silver Democratic managers in this campaign, as set forth by their candidate for President shortly after his nomination, has been to create a belief in the mind of the workingmen that they were being coerced by their employers to vote contrary to their convictions." "The Chairman of the National Committee, Hon. James K. Jones, has emphasized this policy in a proclamation in which he boldly charges the employing classes of the country with having entered in a conspiracy to coerce the employees into voting contrary to their opinions. This is a very grave charge, and it has now assumed a form that justifies giving it some attention. It is an insult both to employer and employee, and we do not believe that one is despotic enough to attempt to coerce or the other is so cringing as to be coerced." "Employees and employers are all free American citizens, knowing their rights and capable of asserting and maintaining them." To coerce a voter is a crime against the laws of the land, and if Messrs. Bryan and Jones know of coercing they made themselves accomplices of the crime by not informing the proper authorities and taking steps for protection. It has been the policy of the Republican party since its organization to protect every citizen in the exercise of his elecive franchise, and it will still adhere to that policy. "While we consider the charge absurd and believe that American workingmen and employers are too independent and patriotic to be coerced or to coerce, the Republican National Committee will do anything in its power to protect workingmen in the free and untramelled exercise of their rights as citizens and will cheerfully unite with the National Democratic Committee in any movement having that object in view." "Coercion of voters is not only an un-American, unpatriotic and despotic usurpation of the rights of a free citizen, but it is a wrong that will inevitably recoil upon its perpetrators; it is an arbitrary use of power that is in direct conflict with the principles of our government." "This committee will spare no pains to secure to every citizen, whatever his politics, the right to cast his vote according to his convictions and have his vote honestly counted." How's This?

The Supreme Court has affirmed the decision of the San Francisco Superior Court in the case of Captain John Mullan, vs. State of California, an action brought to recover over $50,000 as commission alleged to be due for the recovery of money due to State from the general government. The complaint alleges that between December 12, 1873, and May 1, 1891, Mullan rendered services to the State as agent in the matters of recovering certain moneys paid by the State to the United States, under the act of Congress of 1861, providing for increased revenue from imports to pay interest upon the public debt; that the defendant promised to pay plaintiff 20 per cent of all moneys collected from the United States; that he collected $216,357.87, and never received his 20 per cent. The Board of Examiners refused to allow it, and the court uphold their view of the case, holding that the employment of Mullan to recover the money was an illegal act. Gazette. NUMBER 1 SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS. The suit of the Redlands Water Company against the city of Redlands was argued and submitted before the Supreme Court in Los Angeles last week. The water company claims that its system and works have necessitated an outlay of over $360,000, and that under the rates fixed by the city of Redlands the company would be unable to realize 1 per cent per annum upon its investment, which would presumably operate to the confiscation of the property. A decision in the case will be awaited with interest. James J. Corbett was in Montreal last week, playing with his company, and he and his wife had a row at the Windsor Hotel, which will likely result in their separation. An anonymous letter was received by Mrs. Corbett, and when Corbett got to the hotel his wife charged him with unfairness and immediately there was a row. The dinner served in their parlors and the plates were minor weapons. Corbett left in disguise, so he said, and a Windsor constable says he saw the champion run. At 6:30 o'clock Corbett returned, only to find his wife had left for New York. William Jackson, County Treasurer of Shasta county, was arrested on a charge of embezzlement on a warrant sworn to by the County Auditor, and the prisoner was looked up. Jackson was found to be short in his accounts two months ago, but no arrest was made in the hope that he could make good the shortage. A deputy was appointed to act as treasurer and an expert was put on the books. It is reported that Jackson is short at least $40,000, and that the peculiations have been going on since 1878, but up to recently he has succeeded in covering up his deficiencies, it is presumed by special deposits placed in his charge and with which he has made up the shortage when the money in his vault was to be counted. Gen. Wheaton and officers of the United States army stationed at Denver have for several weeks been handsomely entertaining two Germans of distinguished appearance, who gave the names of Baron von Livtsow and Baron von Sack-Mitzlsch, who represented officers of the German army. been in sore straits. When Mrs. Freedlander arose she found her kitchen fire had died out during the night. She saturated some kindlings with kerosene and placed the can on top of the stove, and touched a match to the kindling. The next instant there was an explosion that shook the house and mingled with agonized screams. It startled the sick man upstairs and aroused the sleeping children. Freedlander leaped out of bed and ran downstairs. Neighbour who heard the explosion sent in a call for the firemen. Meanwhile the children, aroused by the confusion, attempted to get downstairs, but the oldest girl held them back when she found smoke pouring up the stairway in such volume as to almost suffocate her. She led the children out upon a shed and then went back for the baby. The mother was burned to a crisp before the fire was subdued. The United States cruiser Raleigh discovered the Cuban filibuster steamer Dauntless taking on a cargo of coal from the steamer R. L. Mabey of Mosquito Inlet, off the Florida coast, early one morning last week. As the warship bore down on them the filibusters started in opposite directions and the Raleigh opened fire, dropping solid shot across their bows as a signal to stop. The Dauntless heaved to, but the Mabey ran into Mosquito Inlet and anchored oppoito New Smyrna. The Raleigh took the Dauntless in town and sent an officer after the Mabey. The two prizes were tied up the coast to St. Johns bar and were anchored inside the river, with the cutter Boutwell alongside. The Dauntless had just arrived from the south and is supposed to have been preparing to carry another expedition to Cuba. The Mabey has been acting as a tender for the filibustering steamers. On the hurricane deck of the filibustering steamer Dauntless which was captured by a Unified States gunboat off the Florida coast one day last week, was a great stain that was made by the lifeblood of one of the vessel's crew, killed by a shot from the Spanish gunboat Contra Mastra, during the filibuster's last voyage.

The San Josquin and Kings River Canal and Irrigation Company has commenced suit in the United States Circuit Court against the Supervisors of Stannislaus county to test the constitutionality of the legislative act under which they have attempted to fix the rates which the irrigation company may charge. Recently the Supervisors, eating under the legislative act of March 12, 1885, upon petition of twenty-five residents of the county, appraised the irrigation company's plant, figured out the profits and losses, estimated what they considered a fair profit on the capital invested, and proceeded to cut the company's rates nearly in two. The company has eleven miles of ditches in Stannislaus county, and on March 10 twenty-five of its patrons petitioned the Supervisors of the county to reduce the rates the company was charging. Acting under this authority given them in the legislative act of March 12, 1885, the Supervisors, on June 24, took the matter up. They refused to consider that the "right" of the company was worth anything, and appraised its plant at $37,000, and on this basis cut out the water rates nearly in two, leaving the profits on the investment according to the company's experts, as 1.45 per cent., which the complaint in various places reiterates is manifestly unfair. The irrigation company sees visions of an interminable number of law suits, and hast ent into the United States courts with the claim that the legislative act under which he has made up the shortage when the money in his vault was to be counted. Gen. Wheaton and officers of the United States army stationed at Denver have for several weeks been handsomely entertaining two Germans of distinguished appearance, who gave the names of Baron von Livetnow and Baron von Sack-Mittelfluff, who represented officers of the German army. They represented that they were making a tour around the world without money in the guise of tramps to win a wager. Among the entertainments provided for the strangers was a ball at Fort Logan. Suspicion being finally accused, a telegram was sent to the German Embassy at Washington, to which a reply was received, saying nothing was known there regarding the two men who had represented that on their arrival in this country they had presented credentials to the German Ambassador. While addressing a political meeting at Covington, Ky., one evening last week Secretary Carlisle was subjected to gross indignities by the free-silver people, and rotten eggs were thrown about the hall, striking the chandelier over him. The insult by the men of his native State and city was leading topic of conversation several days throughout Kentucky. While accounts differ as to the degree of brutality manifested by those in the hall and on the street, there is no dispute as to the bitterness of feeling shown. Carlisle was purposefully detained by friends in hope that outside crowd would dispense, but as soon as he discovered this, he insisted on going out immediately. Then a police escort was provided, and by main force a passage to the street was obtained. Vile epithets were showered at the Secretary John Fagan threw a lighted cigar in his face, and stooped as if to pick up a more formidable missile. He was seized by the police, but discharged; no one entering a complaint. Carlisle feels deeply the indigitity. His only remark was: "They are not hurting me; they are only harming themselves." He did not know eggs had been thrown until some time after it was done. The San Josquin and Kings River Canal and Irrigation Company has commenced suit in the United States Circuit Court against the Supervisors of Stannislaus county to test the constitutionality of the legislative act under which they have attempted to fix rates which their irrigation company may charge. Recently the Supervisors, eating under the legislative act of March 12, 1885, upon petition of twenty-five residents of the county, appraised the irrigation company's plant, figured out the profits and losses, estimated what they considered a fair profit on the capital invested, and proceeded to cut their company's rates nearly in two. The company has eleven miles of ditches in Stannislaus county, and on March 10 twenty-five of its patrons petitioned the Supervisors of Stannislaus county to test the constitutionality of the legislative act under which they have attempted to fix rates which their irrigation company may charge.

On the hurricane deck of the filibustering steamer Dauntless which was captured by a Unified States gunboat off the Florida coast one day last week, was a great stain that was made by lifeblood of one of the vessel's crew, killed by a shot from the Spanish gunboat Contra Mastra during the filibuster's last voyage. On the morning of October 18, the steamer was leaving a point on the northern coast of the province of Pinar del Río after having landed her third cargo of supplies forthe insurgents. When ten miles offthe shorethe Contra Mastra bore down upon them andthe Dauantless was forced to her best speed. Shot after shot was fired bythe Spaniard.

Bryan and Jones succeed they made themselves aware of the crime by not informing their constituents and taking steps for prosecution. This has been the policy of the Reagan since its organization to prosecute in the exercise of his election, and it will still adhere to that principle. We consider the charge absurd that American workingmen and the too independent and patriotic or to coerce, the Republican committee will do anything in its protect workingmen in the free called exercise of their rights as will cheerfully unite with the democratic Committee in any move that object in view. Of voters is not only an unpatriotic and despotic unrepugnance of a free citizen, but it is a will inevitably recoil upon itself; it is an arbitrary use of power, not conflict with the principles of government. Committees will spare no pains to every citizen, whatever his political right to cast his vote according to those and have his vote honestly.

Testimonials oot Some Court has affirmed the decision San Francisco Superior Court of Captain John Mullan, va. the California, an action brought to recover $50,000 as commission alleged to the recovery of money due the general government. The allegations that between December and May 1, 1891, Mullan rendered the State as agent in the matter concerning certain moneys paid by the United States, under the act of 1861, providing for increased reimbursements to pay interest upon the claim that the defendant promised to pay 20 per cent of all moneys collected in the United States; that he collected 357.87, and never received his suit.

The hastening of a fire with kerosene brought the shocking death of a mother and imperiled the lives of her sick husband and five little children at Camden, N. J., Sunday morning. Harris Freedlander and his family occupy a little two-story dwelling on Sycamore street. Freedlander has been ill with typhoid fever and the family have ago he heard that his wife and her lover were living in San Francisco, and he at once went to that city and obtained positive evidence that they resided as man and wife at different localities, the man making short voyages on coasting vessels and changing his residence nearly every trip. His search so far, however, has been fruitless. A table has been compiled by Secretary of State Brown, showing the effect of fusion in the odd-numbered Senatorial districts, in which Senators are to be elected this year, taking as the basis the vote cast for Assemblies in these districts in 1894. This computation does not take into account the independent vote cast that year which amounts to enough in some districts to overcome the effect of fusion. This statement shows that if the fusion candidates for Senator poll the combined Democratic and People's Party vote of two years ago, they will probably be elected in twelve out of twenty districts. Of the twenty hold-over Senators seventeen are Republicans and three are Democrats, so that the Senate in the next Legislature, if the fusion candidates win, according to the figures of two years ago, will stand twenty-five Republicans and fifteen Democrats. Adding to this the results of the sixty-one Assembly districts outside of San Francisco, figured on the same basis, that is, thirty eight fusionists, eighteen Republicans and five Democrats, will make the next Legislature stand on joint ballot forty-three Republicans, fifty-eight Democrats and fusionists, with nineteen Assemblymen from San Francisco undetermined. To get a majority on joint ballot the Republicans will have to elect eighteen of them, while the fusionists need only three to secure a majority. For the fifth time in her comic opera career Lillian Russell is reported to be again on the eve of a matrimonial venture. The wedding, it is said, will take place in San Francisco about the middle of November, and the groom will be Walter Jones, who does the kaleidoscopic act "In Gay New York." Miss Russell played in St. Louis last week, and Jones followed a few days after. The prima donna remained over one day in order to meet him, and so the story goes, the matter was arranged. Miss Russell desired it to be kept secret, but Jones, indiscreet in his happiness, told a fellow-actor, and then—well, of course, every one knew it the next day. Jones acknowledges he is engaged to marry Miss Russell. Asked about the date of the wedding, he replied: "Miss Russell will arrange that, but it will probably be in San Francisco in the middle of November. We both play there about that time." Jones says Miss Russell is not yet divorced from Sig. Perugini. He had a large picture of her on his table in his dressing room, and remarked: "I expect her to get a divorce within a week or two, and then I'll have a story for you newspaper men." This is not the first announcement of the engagement of Miss Russell to Mr. Jones. A year ago it was rumored that they were to be married, but at that time the report was denied by both. Miss Russell was married last time to Sig. Perugini, an opera singer, then a member of her company. They did not live very happily together, and soon separated. There has never been any public announcement of their divorce.
