New York's Candidate.
The nomlnntlon of Frank S. r.lark,
of Troy, ns Republican candidate for
governor of New York, while an In
stance of the unexpected, scores an
other triumph for Thomas C. Piatt, the
political leader of the Empire state. Mr.
Black, la 43 years old, and has one term
as congressman to his credit. Almost
up to the time of voting few thought
that Mr. Piatt would stand out against
the wishes of his friends who desired
him to be the candidate. The selec
tion Congressman Black, however,
eems to have been made In the Inter
est of harmony and In order. If possible,
to avoid he agitation of factional Is
sues during the coming; campaign. Al
though he Is a Piatt Republican, Mr.
Black has not In the past been promin
ent enough to furnish the Piatt ene
mies an excuse to opose the ticket open
ly or secretly knife It at the polls.
While Mr. Black Is comparatively un
known outside of New York state pol
ities it does not follow that he will be
n Insignificant candidate by any
means. He Is a newspaper writer and
a lawyer by profession, and a most
eloquent speaker; an earnest, protec
tionist, and In fact admirably equipped
In every way to pose as standard-bearer
for the Republicans of the Empire
state at the coming' struggle In which
the principles of honest money and good
government are to be pitted against
those of repudiation and anarchy.
It begins to look as though Henry
M. Teller had paired off with William
Q. Whitney In the 10 to 1 campaign.
A Remarkable Summer,
The present summer, which is within
a few days of its end has been remark
able for its eccentricities and record
breaking periods.
That it has been a peculiar Bummer Is
admitted by even the most unobserv
Insr. The weather man, whose business
It Is to record the rain and wind, the
sunlight and shadow, the heat and cold
and the vagaries of the weather in gen
eral, has in this matter-of-fact way, en
tered upon all things in his
book, but he needed not the
comparison of statistics thus obtained
to assure him that this had been an
eventful Bummer.
In overhauling this log, as a mariner
would say, the weather man finds that
this has been a warmer summer than
many preceedlng ones, a windier sum
mer, that there has been excessive rain
fall, and, withal, it has been a brighter
one. The most remarkable feature
of the summer, however, was its spell
of Intense heat. That feature alone,
says the weather man, will mark this
summer as a memorable one and give
It a page to Itself in the annals of his
tory. Taking the statistics presented by
Professor Garriott, of Chicago, some In
teresting comparisons are found be
tween the three months of this summer
and the corresponding months of other
years. Going back twenty-six years,
the average temperature for June was
66.4 where this year it was 6G.9, showing
an increase of .5 above the normal. Ths
average for July for th,e same period
was 72.3 and this year it was the same.
The average for the months of August
for the last twenty-six years was 71
and thus far in the month this year an
Increase of four degrees is shown. "Thus
showing," said Professor Garriott, "that
July was an average month, June Vi de
gree warmer, with August 4 above the
normal."
Taking the same period of twenty-six
years, the average rainfall for the
months of June was 3.8 inches. June
of this year shows 2.28 inches. The July
average for twenty-six years was 2.42
inches. July of this year registerd 3.61,
The months of August for the past
twenty-six years averaged 2.95 Inches
and thus far in this month 3.52 inches
have been registered, showing an ex
cess of ,57 Inches up to the present
time.
During the months of June for the
laBt five years the sky was obscured
half of the time, but In June of this
year the sky was obscured only a
third of the month, leaving two-thirds
of the month sunshlnny. During the
same period the July sky was obscured
six-tenths of the time, whereas in July
of this year the sky was obscured only
four-tenths of the time, thereby making
It a brighter month. The average
cloudness for August during the last
five years was four-tenths, showing
a clear sky, but this record has been
Improved this year, for up to the 18th
the records show only three and a half
tcnths cloudiness.
Mr. Frank S. Black, of New York,
seems to be something of a Boy Orator,
too. .
'I do not know what you think
nbont it, but I believe that it is a
good deal better to open the
mills of the United States to the
labor of America than to open tin
the mints of the United States
to the silver of the world."

Puncturing a Fallacy.
One of the principal fallacies which
have given birth to the free silver move
ment Is thus worded by a Colorado
gentleman who imagines that his prop
osition is perfectly honorable and hon
est: You speak of dlBhonesty, repudiation
and morals. You speak of paying debts
with til-cent dollars, and nothing about
exacting payment In 300-ceiit dollars. In
not one ns bad as the other? Let me il
lustrate: Fourteen years ago you loaned
Mr. R. UKW. Silver was worth $1.20 an
ounce, wheat 31 per bushel, hay 312 a ton.
You people destroyed the last prop of sil
ver in 'D.i, absolutely made a commodity
of every, ounce of silver that did not bear
tho stamp of tho United States mint, de
stroyed one of the money metals of re
demption that has been In existence since
the earliest knowledge of the human race.
Now that Mr. It. has to pay, his wheat
will fetch 50 cents a bushel and his hoy 5
a ton. If you get 31,500 for your 13,000 you
can buy with It more than In '84 you could
with the latter sum. As you money lend
ers forced this condition upon the people
aro you not bound In honesty nnd In mor
als to remit one-half of the debt or return
to the condition of finance which you de
stroyed? To these fallacious questions the
Philadelphia Press makes dignified but
effective reply by saying that silver has
fallen and wheat has fallen in recent
years from like but Independent causes,
the chief of which it over-production.
Since 187.". the production of silver has
been continually Increasing and Its price
as steadily declining. One country af
ter another has been obliged to protect
Itself from an excess of silver currency
by closing Its mints to that metal. Even
India, that ancient sink of silver, had
to stop taking it, and now not a coun
try In the world which uses any gold
In Its currency allows the free coinage
of silver. Nevertheless, the production
of silver Is kept up in Increasing quan
tities, last year's product being larger
than it ever was before In any year In
the world's history. Tho Rocky Moun
tain system seems to contain inexhaus
tible stores of the white metal, and the
Improved processes of mining It make It
possible to keep the mines running at a
profit, even with silver at sixty-six
cents an ounce. This does not pay all
the mines, and some have had to close.
If It were otherwise we would be over
whelmed with a supply of metal al
ready mined In cxecess of the demand
for It.
It Is the same way with wheat. Our
farmers have been producing too much
of It and it has become a drug in the
market. There is no mystery about this
and no reason in it for revolution or re
pudiation. In 1873 there were 2G.38l.512
acres of wheat cultivated in this coun
try; in 1891 there were 39.916,897, an in
crease of 50 per cent. The yield In 1875
was 292,136,000 bushels, a heavy Increase
over preceding years. In 1S91 the yield
was 611,780,000. Last year, with a greatly
reduced acreage and a partial crop fail
ure, the yield was 467,100,000 bushels. In
dia, Argentina, Russia and Australia
have simultaneously largely increased
their wheat production. The total wheat
crop of the world was 1,500.000,000 bu
shels In 1876. In 1889 it had grown to
2.194,000,000 bushels. In 1891 it was 2,-
622,900,000 bushels and considerably larg
er in 1895. -
The official table showing the varia
tions In the price of silver and wheat
proves that they have no relation to
each other as the silverites assume.
Wheat rose .In price in 1879, 1881, 18S7,
1888 and in 1891, notwithstanding silver
fell In those years. Wheat was 80V4
cents a bushel in 1884, when an ounce
of silver brought $1.11. In 1888 wheat
brought $1.36 a bushel, with silver at
.94. In 1896 wheat was .91 and silver
Jl.04. The assumed parity between
wheat and silver prices does not exist.
The tendency of both has been down
ward, but the decline of silver has been
comparatively steady while that of
wheat has fluctuated with the size of
the year's crops and not with) the
changes in the price of silver.
Iron and copper served their term as
money and were discarded when more
valuable metals were available in suf
ficient quantities for that service. It
is very possible that silver has been
overtaken in turn by the same fate and
must be content henceforward with a
subordinate position. This is no crime.
It is simply a public convenience. Sil
ver has nut been in use in this coun
try except under limited coinage since
1S53. The $3,524,318 In sliver dollars
coined between 1853 and 1S73 had no
practical effect since they did not enter
into circulation. Since 1S73 the United
States government has put out $549,
800,000 In full legal tender sliver cur
rency. No country in the world has
done so much for silver in this period.
Silver purchases under the Sherman
law were stopped because it was seen
to be driving away our gold and was
believed to be leading us to a silver
basts.
There has been no general fall in
prices, as the silver! tes claim, except
In articles whfch have been cheapened
by excessive competition, improved
methods of working or the reduced cost
of transportation. Labor has not been
cheapened and every householder
knows that the majority of thlnpre
which enter Into domestic consumption
show no marked decrease In price in
recent years. The man who feels Jus
titled in oS'erlng $1,500 in payment of
a debt for 53,000 contracted fourteen
years ago may delude himself with the
idea that it Is an honest proposition,
but his self-deception does not change
tho fact that such a tender, if made
compulsory as to acceptance, would be
a robbery of the creditor as wicked
and dishonest as the spoliations of the
highwayman, and that the world for
all time outside of the band of rob
bers would so regard and stigmatize
It, to the lasting disgrace of our here
tofore noble country.
Senator Cameron has again been
forced to deny that he Is a candidate
for re-election In order to shake off the
ubiquitous nd Irrepressible interview
er. The announcement of Senator Cam
eron's candidacy bobs up periodically In
the state press with the regularity of
the forest fire and snake story. It
seems about time that the Cameron
boomers applied their talents In some
other direction. Mr. Cameron does not
desire to again succeed himself and
there Is no pressing call on part of the
masses for his re-election.
Music as Medicine.
An exchange says: "It will undoubt
edly bo news to most people that a
music room has been fitted up In the city
of New York where fair sufferers may
be cured of insomnia, nervous prostra
tion and similar disorders by melodious
strains from piano, harp, mandolin or
other Instruments. The number of pa
tients who have already subjected
themselves to the music cure is quite
large, and the fad is gaining in popu
larity." This is Indeed news, and news of a
surprising character. It is easy to see
how under proper conditions patients
might be made for such an institution
by the efforts of those who seek to evoke
soul-stirring strains from the piano,
mandolin and other Instruments. It
has often been done. But it Is opined
that there will be much skepticism in
regard to the satisfactory results from
an application of the theory that tho
"hair of the dog Is good for the bite,"
In this instance. Parties who have ever
suffered during practice hours on a
neighboring piano or have been aroused
from sweet slumber by the fellne-llko
strains drawn from a mandolin by some
wandering nocturnal minstrel can
scarcely be Induced to take the music
cure for nervousness. It will be un
safe to wnger on the success of the
music cure.
Miss Clara Barton, president of the
American Red Cross society, claims to
have found the unspeakable Turk not
such a bad fellow after all. During
her stay in the Ottoman Empire on her
mission of mercy she was treated with
tho utmost consideration and was af
forded protection everywhere. Miss
Barton thinks that the Turk is entirely
human even In his Inhumanity. This
may perhaps be the case; but If there
is any truth in accounts of the affair
that made Miss Barton's mission to
Turkey necessary, it Is feared that she
will not be 'able to make many con verts
to the belief that the Turk Is an in
offensive and lamb-like Individual.

clinations unrestrained.
Hard to Beat.

Bryan, for Instance, says railroad rates

But official statistics tell another story.

aTigh tide of gold.
From tho Times-Herald.
A few years ago advocates of the un
limited coinage of silver were saying th.it
there was not enough gold In the world
to do Its business. In fact, there Is al
ways enough gold in the world to do Its
business if the natural and beneficent
laws of production nnd commerce were
permitted to have their peaceful way.
Speaking In the house three years ago
Mr. Bryan said: "It is estimated that
nearly two-thirds of the annual product
Is psed in the arts, nnd the amount so
used is Increasing. Where, then, is the
supply to meet tho increasing demands
of an increasing population? Is there
some new California, or some undiscov
ered Australia yet to be explored? Is II
not probable thnt the supply available
for coinage will diminish rather than
increase?" Passing over Mr. Bryan's
overestimate of the absorption of gold In
the arts, it Is evident that we do not
need a new California, nor any undis
covered country to keep the supply of
gold fully up to nny Inmased demand.
II II M
For the first decade after the discovery
of gold In California nnd Australia the
averare annual production of the world
was Ji41.uno.000. The ten years after
18( it fell to an average of $132,000,000.
and ten years later the average had fallen
to $120,500,000. Beginning with 18S1 came
the turn. For four years prior to ISM,
Inclusive the average annual product was
$1ii,413.0O. In 1?91 the product rose to
$12.".725,OOrt. In 1892 it was JltO.SM.OW. In
lh)3 It had risen to $ir.3,?l.00i). In 1S94 the
product reached $178,404,000. In 3893 It
reached $200.oco,ni'0, and the present year it
will be fully J:..nnn,onO It is eatlmnted
even as high ns ?2."0,noo,000. Tho product
of the United States Is estimated at $'0,
Ono.OoO or more, that of South Africa $30,
OOO.noo, of Australia, $48,Oc0,00O, and Russia
$33,000,000.

corresponding period has been tabulated

There are American mines which it Is
confidently declared -will more than dou
ble last year's high production. Improved
machinery, skilled labor and quick trans
portation are doing their Inevitable work
In the bringing forth of the most precious
of metals. Last year In one Colorado fl'dd
the total production was $9,189,317. The
first six months of this year It reached
$7.2311.000. The estimated production for
the year will be $ir,WO,noo. Since Mr. Bry
an uttered his fear that there would be a
decline In the world's production of gold
it hn been Increased so that, before the
calendar year Is out. there will be addod
to the rold stock of the world an nmount
approximating $700,000,010, or more than
the entire gold stock of the United States.
I1 !! II
In addition to the Increase from ihe
mines, the United Stetes nro nhntit to
enjoy a turn In the International flow of
gold. Our experts for this year will ex
ceed by 23 per cent, those of last year.
The value of the exports for 1S'i2 was
11.013.732.011. For ISM the total fell to
$s31.ft"p.7R3. For 1S91 the vnlue was l09,
204.9.17. For llf'5 the totnl vnlue declined
to S703.392.599. The greatest Increase of th
present year will be found In manufac
tures, which. It Is believed, will reneh
nearly Sio.oooono over the corresponding
period of last year. ITow much of the in
flux of commercial cold Is due to this 'm
provement In the balarce of trade Is rot
yet apparent. The probability s that of
the six or eight million dollars reported
on the way here not n little is an ex
pression of revived confidence In our na
tional credit, doe to the demonstration
made by Mr. Bryan at New York that
there Is not the slightest danger of a lapse
by the United fates from the monry
standard of civilised nations to thnt of
rudimentary or semi-barbarous ones. All
apprehension that the government gold
rpserve Is further to he endangered Is dis
pelled. The effect of the Incoming gold
will be otherwise realized throushnnt the
