SOMETHING HE OVERLOOKED.]

In the article praising Mexico, lier
alleged marvelous prosperity and her
silver monetary standard, Air. William
Jennings Bryan neglected, as he usual
ly does, to bring out the vital and mate
rial points of the questions which he
discussed.
Mr. Bryan spent two or three weeks
in Mexico, bought a sombrero trimmed
with silver, and then came back fully
equipped to tell us all about the affairs
of our neighboring republic anil ready
to prove, to his own satisfaction at
least, that this country ought to adopt
the financial system from which Mex
ico has been for some time trying to
escape.
Mr. Bryan is a political comet which
has passed its perihelion, and is disap
pearing in the depths of obscurity,
whence it emerged some 18 months
ago. It occasionally still emits a gase
ous explosion, however, which calls for
comment 011 the part of the astrono
mers who have watched it with interest
as it careened madly across the politi
cal firmament. The letter on Mexico
is the latest of these Bryan ite ex
plosions, and, following the usual cus
tom, a few observations on the phenom
enon are presumably in order.
Ever since Mr. Bryan picked up the
silver question as a supposedly con
venient method of landing himself in
the. white house he has argued that
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
would give to this country a greater
volume of money; that is, a larger per
capita circulation. Now, if the free
coinage of silver is conducive to a
greater per capita circulation than the
I'nited States possesses, we would nat
urally suppose that Mexico, which con
forms to Mr. Bryan's loftiest ideals of
a proper financial policy, would have a
larger per capita circulation than this
country. Let us see. Consulting the
facts and figures in relation to the
amount of money in each country, we
discover the per capita of each nation
to be as follows:
Per
In polii— capita.
I'nited States J!' 3f>
Mexico 39
111 stiver—
I'nited States $S 78
Mexico 7 "0
In paper—
Vnited States tS 90
Mexico 32
Total money—
I'nited States 524 03
Mexico & 41
Evidently there is a cog loose in Mr.
Bryan's logic again. Instead of having,
thanks to the free coinage of silver, a
greater amount of money per capita
than the United States, Mexico has
only about one-third as much money
per capita as this country possesses.
Besides, every dollar of United States
money, under the gold standard, is
worth twice as much as a Mexican dol
lar. So that, if we take purchasing
power into consideration, we find that
our $21.03 per capita is worth $48.06 in
Mexican money, as against an $8.41
per capita in Mexico.
If it is a good thing to have a large
circulation, then free silver, as shown
by the experience of Mexico, does not
supply that benefit, nor does the free
antl unlimited coinage of silver in Mex
ico add one pe'.nv of value to the sil
ver when it is coined. After that metal
is minted it is worth no more or less,
under free and unlimited coinage in
Mexico, than it was worth as bullion.
Tlie free and unlimited coinage of sil
ver never did make 50 cents' worth of
silver worth 100 cents, and never will,
Mr. Bryan to the contrary notwith
standing.
While Mr. Bryan is sounding the
praises of Mexico's financial system
that country is striving to abandon it,
and in a few years we will see our
southern neighbor take its rightful
place among the progressive gold
standard nations of the world.—Cin

WAGES AND MONEY.
Facia \\ 111 ell Knock Oat the l'r»-
teiiNCN of Free Sftlverltew.
A bond sale recently took place in
this state which shows the extent to
which the price of money has fallen
In the past few years. The bonds were
Missouri state securities, amounting
to $350,000, bearing interest at four per
cent., and they sold at a premium.
These bonds are to take up bonds draw
ing six per cent, interest. Twenty
years ago the latter were hard to sell
at par, and they replaced bonds that
drew ten per cent, interest, which sold
for 75 cents on the dollar in 1860, at a
time when the repular currency of the
country, greenbacks, which the repub
licans brought up to the gold line in
1870, was worth only 75 centson the dol
lar in gold. Of course the interest rate
for private loans in Missouri has also
fallen to nearly the same extent in this
time.
This is a little different sort of a
story from that which the silver orators
tell. They pretend that interest and
fixed charges for farmers and others
remain the same as during the war pe
riod, while the prices of farm prod
ucts and the wages of labor have gone
down. The figures here given, how
ever, show that interest in Missouri is
much less than half as high as it was
25 or 30 years ago. Allowing for the
premium now on public bonds and the
discount then, the present rate of in
terest is only about a third what it
was at that time. Ex-Gov. Stone, like
his friend Bryan, has often shed meta
phorical tears over the crime of 1873,
by which "half of the country's money
was struck down and the value of the
other half enormously enhanced." Gov.
Slone and every other person in this
state, and in almost every other state,
no matter how poor or obscure, who has
acceptable sucurity to offer, can borrow
money for half what lie would have had
to pay for it in 1872.
The facts k nock out the rest of the sil
verites' pretense also. Prices of many
farm products have dropped in the past
20 years, though wheat at its present
price in 100-cent dollars is about as high
as it was 25 or 30 years ago, if the cur
rency of those days is reckoned on the
geld basis. Beef and pork have also
changed in price but slightly. On the
other hand, the farmers' machinery and
tools, the interest on the money he bor
rows, the price of the clothes he wears
and his general living expenses are in
the aggregate only about half what
they were at that time. That is to say,
the farmer has been a great gainer by
the change. The same is true, of course,
of the average wageworker. An ex
haustive examination made bv the I'nit
ed States commissioner of labor a few
years ago showed that a dollar would
buy 27'/JJ per cent, more of the neces
saries of life in 1891 than it would have
bought in 1872. a year before the great
"crime of the century" was perpe
trated. and the average laborer got ten
per cent, more wages in 1891 than he did
in the earlier year. The thing the wage
worker had to sell, his laoor, went up in
price, and everything which he had to
buy went down. His condition has vast
ly improved in the past quarter of a cen
tury, and so has that of the farmer.
The deposits in the savings banks of the
country nnd the reduction in the
amount of the farm mortgages are con
clusive on both these points. —St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
On tlie Defensive.
The Tippecanoe club, one of the
largest permanent republican clubs in
the country. has been sued to prevent
its board of directors from ex
pelling four members who took part in
the effort to prevent the election of M.
A. llanna to the United States senate
by the Ohio legislature. These four
members, who figure as plaintiffs in (he
ca=e, are Mayor McKisson, the sena
torial candidate, put up in opposition
to Senatorllanna; Speaker Mason and
Representative Bradley, of the Ohio
house of representatives, and Senator
Burke, of the Ohio senate. The rules
of the club stipulate that every mem
ber shall stand by the nominees of the
republican party. The four plaintiffs
claim first that Senator llanna was not
the nominee of the party in the sense
intended by the rules, and that as the
club is a stock company and the plain
tiffs are owners of stock, they cannot
be deprived of their shares. Upon
proper application, Judge Ong, of the
common pleas court, granted an order
temporarily restraining the club from
proceeding with the trial of Mayor Mc-
Kisson and his colleagues, now in prog
ress. The case will be heard on its
merits later. —Chicago Inter Ocean.

Something must be said about the
phrase "tyranny of gold," implying
that gold is a cruel despot and an in
jury to mankind. It is strange that we
never heard of this tyra.nt until silver
fell below par. II the despotism of gold
is so cruei to the human race it is
strange that all other nations one by
one are rushing to its embraces. Since
the controversy became hot in the
United States, Italy, Austria. Koumania,
Chili, .Japan, Russia, and even San Do
mingo have welcomed the tyrant, and
now India is taking steps to the same
end. The tyranny of go'.d is of the
same nature as the tyranny of railroads
in. comparison with lumber wagons, of
telegraphs and telephones in compari
son with postboys, of gas and electric
lights in comparison with tallow dips,
of the United States in comparison
with Mexico and China, of coined
money as against wampum, of civiliza
tion in general as against savagery.—

Explosion in Havana Harbor

Havana, Feb. 16. —At 9:45 last even
ing a terrible explosion took place on
board the United States warship
Maine in Havana. Many were killed
or wounded. As yet the cause of the
explosion is not apparent. The wound
ed sailors of the Maine are unable to
explain it.
The explosion shook the whole city.
The windows were broken in all the
houses. Several of the wounded sail
ors say that the explosion took place
while they were asleep, so that they
can give no particulars as to the cause.
The wildest consternation prevails
in Havana. The wharves are crowded
with thousands of people. Jt is be
lieved tlie explosion occurred in a
small powder magazine. At 10:45 p.
m. what remained of the Maine was
still burning. Capt. Sigsbce and tlie
other officers were saved. It is esti
mated that over 100 of the crew were
killed, but it is impossible as yet to
give exact details. Admiral Manterola
has ordered that boats of ail kinds
shall goto the assistance of tlie Maine
and her wounded.
Gen. Solano and the other generals
have been ordered by (ien. Blanco to
take steps to help the Maine's crew in
every way possible. The correspondent
of the Associated Press has been near
the Maine in one of the boats of the
cruiser Alfonso XII. and seen others of
the wounded who corroborate the state
ment of those first interviewed that
they were asleep when the explosion
occurred.
Capt. Sigsbee says the explosion oc
curred in the bow of the vessel. He
received a wound in the head. Orders
were given to the other officers to save
themselves as best they could. The
latter who were thrown from their
bunks in their niglit clothing, pave the
necessary orders with great self-pos
session and bravery. At 11:30 the Maine
continues burning.
Many officers of the Maine were
ashore at the time of the explosion.
Admiral Manterola believes the disas
ter was caused by the throwing of a
grenade from the navy yard, near
which the Maine was anchored, onto
the deck of the American warship.
Washington, Feb. 10.—The secretary
of the navy received the following tele
gram from Capt. Sigsbee: ' "Maine
blown up in Havana harbor at 9:40 and
destroyed. Many wounded and doubt
less more killed and drowned. Wound
ed ami others are cu board Spanish
man-of-war and Ward line steamer.
Send lighthouse tenders from Key
West for crew and few pieces of equip
ment still above water. No one has
other clothes than those upon him.
Public opinion should be suspended
until further report. All officers be
lieved to be saved. Jenkins and Mer
ritt not yet accounted for. Many Span
ish officers, including representatives
of Gen. Blanco, now with me and ex
press sympathy."
The officers referred to in the above
dispatch are Lieut. Friend W. Jenkins
and Assistant Engineer Darwin R.
Merritt. From the wording of the dis
patch the navy department thinks it
possible that they were on shore at the
time of the accident. The secretary
of the navy received another dispatch
from Key West at the same time, but
its contents were not made public. The
orders for the lighthouse tenders were
at once sent to Key West.
Secretary Long received Capt. Sigs
bee's dispatch but a few seconds before
the press dispctches from Havana were
handed to him. Ilis first act was to
comply with Sigsbee's request that as
sistance be sent from Key West. He
immediately wired Capt. Forsythe at
Key West to proceed with the naval
tender Fern to Havana.
The Maine was a battleship of the
second class and was regarded as one
of the best ships in the new navy. She
was built at the Brooklyn navy yard
and is 111S feet long, 57 feet broad and
0,652 tons displacement. She carried
four 10-inch and six 6-inch breech-load
ing guns in her main battery and seven
G-pounder and eight 1-pounder rapid
fire guns and four Gatliugs in her sec
ondary battery, and four Whitehead
torpedoes.
The Maine was built in 1800 at a cost
of 53,588,000. She had a steel hull and
a complement of 874 men.

50 volunteers went to work to discover
what the falling mass had buried. A
driver of a coal wagon, a 15-year-old
boy and two horses were extricated,
being more or less injured. After the
men had worked about two hours and

Key West, Fla., Feb. 17.—Capt. Sips
b®e's message to Commandant For
sythe, of the naval station here, re
ceived yesterday, reads:
"Advise sending American vessel at
once. The .Maine is submerged except
the debris. .Mostly work for divers.
Jenkins and Merritt are still missing
and there is but little hope for their
safety. Those known to have been
saved are the officers and 24 uninjured
of the crew. Eighteen wounded men
are now on board the Ward line steam
er; in the city hospital and at the ho
tels 59 so far as known. All the others
went down onboard or near the Maine.
The total lost or missing is 258. With
several exceptions no officer or man
has more than a part of a suit of cloth
ing and that is wet. The officers saved
are uninjured. The damage was in
the compartments of the crew."
New York, Feb. 17. —A cable to the
World from Havana says: "l have
just seen 29 sailors of the Maine silent
ly enduring the torture caused by pow
der-skinned faces and bodies, broken
bones and mangled flesh. They were
being well cared for in the San Am
brosio military hospital here. The less
severely injured men are on the steam
ship City of Washington. The severely
wounded men will have the best of at
tention from the men and women of
the American colony. All the injured
men show great grit.
"Out in the bay lies the wreck of the
Maine. Her steel upper deck forward
has been completely lifted and turned
over on her starboard side. None of
the big guns in the turrets are visible.
The Maine is slightly listed to port and
all forward of the massive cranes for
unloading ship's boats has disappeared.
The big funnels lie flat upon the
twisted iron braces and pieces of steel
deck. From the funnels aft the ship
seems to be intact. She has settled
until the water has covered the top of
her superstructure and the stern
searchlight and the rapid-fire gun look
over the water just below them.
"Most, if not all the bodies will be
recovered. Two bodies were recovered
yesterday forenoon. They were those
of Lieut. Jenkins and Assistant Engi
neer Merritt. A vigilant lookout is
being kept for bodies. Out of 59 in
jured not over four are likely to die.
All but five officers will goto Key
West. All the slightly wounded and
all the able-bodied men will go also,
with the exception of a few who will
be kept here to identify bodies when
they are secured by divers."
Out of 354, the total number of the
crew of the Maine. 90 were saved.
A special copyright cable to the
Evening World from Havana says the
officers of the Maine state the explo
sion was in the central magazine and
that the Maine was raised out of the
water and then went partially to pieces.
The dispatch continues: "All but the
surgeon were in the ward room at the
moment of the explosion. Then eaine
the stupendous shock. All the officers
below rushed on deck, but could get
no further forward than the middle
superstructure on deck. Only a very
few of the :>SO jackies ever got from
below. The water rushed over them
and many were stunned and drowned,
but not mangled.
"The officers on deck narrowly es
caped. In the junior officers' mess all
had to clamber out through water and
wreckage waist deep. One ladder from
the after torpedo compartment was
jammed with men struggling up for
life. All agree that a double explosion
occurred from the natural result of an
underwater explosion of the maga
zines."
On board the Spanish cruiser Alfonso
XIII. 26 of the wounded were treated,
and SB were succored on board the City
of Washington. The crew of the
steamer Colon saved two wounded men.
The Maine, at the time of the explo
sion, was anchored about 500 yards from
the arsenal and 200 yards from the
floating dock. The explosion put out
the street lights near the wharf and
blew down telephone and telegraph
wires in that vicinity. Admiral Man
terola and Gen. Solano put off to the
Maine soon after the explosion and
offered their services to ('apt. Sigsbee.
Lieut. Commander Wainwright be
lieves the explosion was due to the
short circuit dynamo.
The passengers on the City of Wash
ington gave up their state rooms to the
injured men. An iron truss from the
Maine fell on the pantry of the City of
Washington, breaking the table ware
of the steamer. Lieutenant Comman
der Wainwright, of the Maine, was
smoking in his cabin next to Capt.
Sigsbee, when the explosion occurred
and put out the electric lights. Wain
wright then lit a match and went to
Sigsbee's cabin. The captain had been
thrown from his bed, but was unin
jured. They went on deck and gave
orders to flood 2,500 pounds of gun cot
ton which was on board. The order
.vas carried out. but the men who ful
filled it never returned. Havana, how
ever. was saved from a still more terri
ble explosion. Four boats were low

of them was lost.

by constitutional remedies. Deafness la
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for r.ny
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
