A Silver Fallacy Exposed.
The Bryanites have met with a serious
disaster in the a-tvani-e iu tlie pri-e of
wheat and the decline in the value of
silver. No assertion, argument or device
has done so much to help the silver mine
owners as the charts they have distribut
ed to farmers, making it appear that the
jrie of w heat is governed ly the pri-e
of silver. The assertion is false, hut
truth is slow in overtaking falohHd in
this nutter.
In a little over thirty days wheat ad
vanced approximately 1". cents a bushel.
At the same tifne silver declined. The
commercial price of bar silver in New
York was tf; cents an ounce on Septem
Iht t. and at tin- end ol the month
it was t;".i, a considerable decline. And
all that time wheat was advancing. This
thing has often happened, but many
farmers do not seem to be aware of the
fact. The object lesson, right in the heat
of the campaign, can not fail to Intellect
ive.
The advance in the price of wheat and
decline in the value of silver have l-ecn
entirelv due to the law of supply and de
mand. The bad condition of the wheat
crops in India and Argentina has led to
an increased demand for wheat from th;
I'l-ited Stat-s. That sent the price up.
just as the enormous increase iu the pro
duction of wheat and decreased consump
tion in recent years sent the price down
1 he price of wheat at the farms in the
West has not declined since 17'! in any
thing like the projortion represented to
the fanners. Iu the years lsTl-"! the crops
of wheat were short and the speculation
was unprecedented. Prices were ilk-git
imately high. The collapse came with
the panic of W.'J. The average price of
wheat fin the farm in Iowa. Minnesota,
Missouri. Kansas and Nebraska in sin
was (Hi cents a bushel. In ls" the price
was i' cents in the depreciated paper cur
rency : in lv70, so cents ; Ws, ,v cents ; in
Issi in; -ents: in lssi .vt cents, an. I in
lsi-J, :; cents.
The decline in the cost of transporta
tion has made a greater dillereuce in the
price in New York city. The average
dillereuce Iielween the price of wheat on
the farm in the West and in New York
was alNiut 7" cents in ls":i, and 'S
cents in s:i"i. That saving in transporta
tion by improved railroad methods ae-
Kiints for a large reduction in the price.
Since ls44 the cost of transntrtation has
declined st.ii per iviiL. while the decline
in silver has l-ecn al-out ' percent.
Wheat fell 4U per cent., lietween 1--72 and
Is7st w hile silver declined only 17 per
cent.; wheat then rose per cent. I iy
lssi. while silver rose a fraction over ."
percent.; then wheat fell about .Viper
cent, to lssi, while silver fell only 4.-'! per
cent. ; wheat rose . . per cent, by lsss, and
silver at the same time fell over 14 per
cent, and so on, show ing that there is no
relation whatever lietween the price of
silver and the price of wheat.
Corn, oats and other crops are more im
portant to the farmer than his wheat.
The average price per bushel of all grain
in the West in ls"-J w as cents a bushel.
and in lfil it was 4U cents. The value oi
wheat on farms west of the Mississippi
iu lNin was in all commodities at New
York al unit ".ii.iL In Itc, it was tii'J per
cent. In Uith the Kast anil the West a
bushel of wheat would buy more of other
imnmodities ir. 1sh" than in ls7Jorin
ls-ai. This demonstrates the folly an
falsehood in the l'opocratic argument
aliout wheat.
The statist h-s show that nearly 11 per
cent, of the farmers own their ow n farms
without encumbrance, and the liens on
the remaining farms are only T..V per
cent, of their value. The grain farmers
are therefore creditors and not debtor
and reducing the value ol the dollars
one-half, or "from cents to I'M cents."
as Mr. Bryan has staled the proposition
will only injure the farmer, as well as the
people in general. Philadelphia Press.
Repudiation, Nullification, devolution.

The Chicago platform is loaded with

INTO THE JAWS OF DEATH.
Thrilling Story of the Runaway
"Train at
Sand Patch Tunnel.
one of the worst and most expensive
freight w recks in the history of the Bal
timore V Ohio Railroad occurred shortly
after 12 o'clock Thursday night, near
Philson Si.ling, eight miles east of Sand
Patch tunnel. Fast freight train No. 74
was scheduled to meet west-lioiind
freight No. !Ci at the siding. Shortly
utter starting down the grade the east-
liound crew lost control ol their train and
in a moment were chasing down the
stc ; grade at the rate of 70 miles an
hour. The two trains came together
with an awful crash and loa.led freight
cars w ere piled fifty feet high.
At !' o'clock Friday evening four un
known tramps had 1-i-cn taken out of the
Baltimore and Ohio wreck at Philson
station. tramps wim are now in me
W.-tcrn Maryland hospital say that at
least 1.1 more are buried in the debris.
They were riding iu the car ahead of tho
one in which the injured tramps were.
and nothing has lieen seen or heard from
them since the wreck occurred.
The injured trainmen, none of whom
are seriously hurt, were taken to ineir
homes in Connellsville Friday evening.
They are W. J. Zane, engineer, and
Thomas Owens, fireman, of east-lKund
train 71, and Brakoman John Cornell.
Their story of the runaway train and the
wreck is thrilling.
The trj.in left Sand Patch shortly after i -
midnight. Sixteen cars next the engine
were equipped with air brakes. Before
tarting into the tunnel the hand brakes
on three cars on me rear ran were sei.
Two more were set after the brakenien
noticed that their train was getting bo
yond control. By this time the east end
of the tunnel had !ocn reached, and En
gineer Zane had the wheels of his engine
md hi cars back of him locked dead with
air. 1 he heavily loaiied cars nai aiiain-
such frightful velocity, however, that it j
was impossible to check their speed on
the wet rails. The brakemen and Con
ductor J. J. 1 larhaugh clung to the tops
of the cars, making their way towards
the rear end on all fours. Seeing that it
was impossible to save the train. Flag
man Ioiiis l ieiger cut off the caboose two
miles west of Row man station. Conduc
tor Harbaugh and Brukeman i. J. Mick
ey uncoupled the three cars nest to the
cab-Mise and stopped them. Brakcman
Cornell stuck to his sst on the front end
of the train until the light in his lantern
w ent out. Then he went back over the
train with Fireman Owens. The col
lision came I cfore they had gone two car
lengths.
Engineer Zane hung to the steps of his
engine for four mill's. He said that he
had fully made up his mind to jump at
Bowman station, but his heart failed him
and he climbed back up in the cab, re
signed to meet what he thought was cer
tain death.
Bowman was the passing point for
train 74 with west-Uium! train ;i1. I'ngi
neer Zane knew that he was sure to crash
into the ponderous engine hauling No.
!'." up the mountain w ithin a few seconds,
and he hung to the whistle lever until he
saw the glimmer of its headlight. He
scrambled back ovcrtlietenderand reach
ed the first lix cjir before the two engines
came tog-ther. He knew nothing after
hat until Friday morning. Brakeman
Cornell and Fireman Owens were like
wise htirb-1 from the top of a car over a
fill to the left of the track some U'l feet
high. Both were severely cut and bruis
ed, but managed to get among the wreck
ed cars first and help out the injured.
When the two trains met the force of
the collision sent the easi-ltoutid engine
ploughing through the west-lound train
:m yards. The main track and the sid
ing for that distance were torn up as
though dynamite had been exploded
every f-xit f the way. Engineer Oeorge
Kauffiuan, of No. !H, jumped as soon as
possible after he saw the headlight of
the other engine. A mile below he
heard the screaming of the whistle and
the roar of the runaway train and revers
ed his engine. His fireman, William
Shaw lis, jumped just as the two engines
came together. Ho was found uncon
scious in a field so yards away from the
tracks. The only thing Shaw lis rem-m-liers
is seeing the approaching headlight
and his impulse to jump. Not a vestige
of the two engines remain together.
Immediately follow ing the collision an
explosion occurred. Several cars on
train 74 were loaded with tlour. The
supposition is that it was the II inr dust
that explo-I-'I. The report awoke the
residents of Philson station ami sent up a
cloud of milky whiteness.
The cries of the injured tramps attract
ed the attention of the trainmen as sis in
as they regained their presence of mind,
i hie Imdy was ree -vered at daybreak
Thursday, and since then three more
have been f -mid. oin of them a colored
man. Then was nothing on their In lies
to identify them.
The tramps in the Cumberland hospi
tal stale positively that they know of 1.1
men u ho wera heum.; tlieir way over
the niou-i'.aiu on train 71. Brakeman
Cornell is also positive that a large num
ber Were al-oard tho train. They were
in a box car al-out the middle of the
train, and had th' d-ior fastened on tho
insi-le to kis-p out the cold. I'ntil all the
debris is cleared up it w ill be impossible
to tell w hether th"se esc ipi-I injury and
left the scene in the excitement that fol
lowed. -

COMPULSOEY DISHONESTY.
Benjamin Harrison Tells How People
Be Hade Dishonest by Law if Bryan Wen
Elected.
In the Octolier number of the "Forrtn"
Benjamin I la. rison, writing upc l "Com
pulsory Iish nesty " says:
"The free silver leaders d- not seem .o
nie to deny what their opponents assert
, namely, that the tree coinage, of silver at
the ratio of Hi to 1 will, if the relative
1 commercial value of gold and silver re
! mains unchanged, wipe out about one-
h-tlf of every existing promise to pay
money; that every promissory note, bond
savings deposit, liank deposit, building as
sociation certificate, life insurance joIicv,
pension, salary and wage -ontract will le
affected precisely as if note, Imud, ocrtif-i'-ato,
dejiosit luxik, contract, or pension
certificate had lieen surrendered for a
new one in which was writ.en one-half
the amount of the old. "How much ow
et thou unto my Ird?" ami he said:
"A hundred measures of oil." And he
said unto him: "Take thy bill, and sit
down quickly, au-I write fifty."
"A North.vestern Senator told me,
when the silver debate was on in the
Senate in KM !!, that a Southern Senat
or had said to him: I do not want you to
think that I am a f-ol. I know that the
free coinage of silver will scale the debts
that my people owe and that's what we
want. We are poor and in debt.' The
Senator thus addressed replied: 'Well, I
think you have saved your intellectual
integrity, but at the cost of your moral
integrity.' When Senator Hill, of New
York, in the Chicago convention, pressed
this ol -jet-lion to free coinage and Senator
Vilas, of Wisconsin, declared that fre
coinage was'robliery, Mr. Bryan, in a
speech that won him the nomination for
the Presidency, had only this to say in
reply :
" 'Hut if he matis to say that w6 can
not change our monetary system without
protecting those who have loaned mon
ey liefoie the change was made, I want
to ask him wdiere, in law or in morals, ho
can find authority for not protecting the
debtors w hen the act of ls7." was passed,
but now insists that we must protect the
creditors?'
"It is the supposed injury to the debt
ors of 1S7.I that Mr. Bryan proposes to re
coup from the ci editors of Is::. He takes
no account of the fact that the debtor and
creditor classes are not fixed classes in
this country; that the debtor of IS7.J may
lie the creditor of 1S!1; and that the coun
ter claim pleaded in liehalf of the debtors
of 17I, would Im levied on their own
goods in considerable part, and be paid t?
the men who are supposed to have been
desjioiled in 17& The only ltonds that
run il years are railroad and other corpi
rate bonds. Farm mortgages rarely run
more than five years. The railroads, the
banks, the large corporations, and tho
I'nited States are the great debtors of
Wo, who are still the debtor class; and
among their creditors are the thrifty poor,
the widow, the orphan and tho disable-1
veteran. The proposition is that these
great debtors shall now be permitted to
discharge their obligations in dollars
worth one-half the dollar now in use. I
must qualify that statement; but it is not
that they shall Is permitted, but ompell
ed, to pay in the debased dollar. Dishon
esty is not made optional, but compulso
ry: for while the United Slates must re
ceive its taxes and rstom dues, ami the
banks their loans, iu the new dollar, they
cannot pay in the old. And more than
all this we are promised legislation that
shall prohibit us from promising to pay
in gold the gold we have borrowed. If
the debtor is too honest to set up the de
fence. I suppose the court will lie re
quired to appoint a guardian ad litem to
tile the plea for him.
" nly one chance of escape is offered to
us from the conclusion that one of the
great historii-al parties of this country is
now making a campaign for the repudia
tion of one-half of all the indebtedness of
the country national, corporate and in
dividual and that is found iu the sug
gestion that free coinage will raise the
value of silver sufficiently to make the
silver dollar the commercial equivalent
of the gold dollar. This suggestion was
put forth when Mr. Bryan was in some
measure under the influence of that con
servative sense of rcsponsliility w hich is
usually felt by the man who is proposed
for the greatest otlice instituted by tho
constitution. But it is not a pr "position
upon which the free silver advocates
agree, I think. It is n-.t put tithe front
of the campaign it was not so well
thought of as to appear in tie platform,
either as a probable result of free coinage
or even as a thing to lie desired. To Imr
row an illustration from S. S. Prentiss,
Mr. Bryan uses the suggestion that sil
ver w ill rise to a parity with gold as a
heavy bird of flight uses the limliol'a
dead tree for a perch the bird keeps its
wings extend-! and in gentle motion
while it tries th strength of the limb. I
have it it ohs-Tve I th U Mr. Bryan has
m ich argued thepoint. Indeed, he h is
been sharply taken to task by friends for
in iking it. It destroys the whole silver
program. They say that g dd has appre
ciatd ; that the gp between the silver
an 1 g il l d ill ir Ins leen wh illy ciusod
by the rise iu the value of the gold dollar;
tint the silver d ill ir is therefore th s old
and true measure of values.
Hut it is not true, as Mr. Il.-y in sovn
to intimate, that the law of 1S71 changed
o ir in ney stand ird to the injury of the
debtor class. The silver dollar was drop
ped from our coinage, hut it was not then
a cheap dollar, hut a par dollar; the
.171 grains of pur silver in itwer3af.ill
equivalent as bullion of the -',.11 grains
of pure g-ild contained iu the gild dol
lar. It is not fair then to liken the
change in our coinage laws made iu 1S7:
to th it now proposed. The firmer neith
er involved dishonesty nor oppression.
Iu order to in ike good the charge that the
law of WJ wrought th inju ries im;iute I
to it, the assertion is made that thi gold
dollar has appreciated, gnu up. lold
production lrts increase-! from 4,'i1!,ti7.1
o inee.s in W-'l to !1,SJ.,1J.1 ounces in ls:l"i
and silver from i;;,U77,ls7 oun -es in W.; to
!71.7.li,lll ounces iu lsli. In view of
these considerations and thoie figures as
to production, who is wis. en mgli to s ay
thai the gold has gone up or silver d wn,
or how much either metal h is varied ?
And yet it has been assumed that the
silver dollar has been a true and stable
me isure of value, that it has neither gone
up nor gone down sim-e ls.7-1, and that it
would be honest to return to that stand
ard and settle all contracts by it.
"Now how is this to he proved ?" or do
our silver friends think it worth while to
prove anything? This illustration, used
by Mr. Bryan, is tho only attempt at ar
gument I have seen; If he says a man
able 1 1 p-'rlorm his c m tracts sh mid otl'er
to pay one dollar per bushel for all the
wheat brought to him, would not the
prii-e of wheat go up to a dollar? But
the Failed Stales is not to hay the silver
it only puts a stamp on it and returns
it t-i the owur. It is rather as if a miller
should oiler to take all the wheat brought
to him to grind into l inr without charge,
to put each one huu 1 red po inds of ilu
Hour into a barrel, to stain', on the head
of it : 'T.ns is a h irrel of !l car,' and to
return it to the owner. How would the
price of w heat, or of tl mr, ba atrecled by
that transaction ?
"There are many people, I suppose,
who would scorn to take advantage of a
law that allowed them to have a full dis
charge fr.-iii their debts upor the pay
ment of fifty cants on tli9 d illar, but who
do not feel humiliated by th-3 snjgstion
that they shall pay them with a coin
called a dollar, hut only worth fifty rents
as compared with the dollar they borrow
ed. It is said to be the d.illar the dollar
of the Constitution, and of the Fathers,
and they are lieguiled. It is neither
the Constitution does not require Con
gress to coin silver dollar at the ratio of
16 to I, or at any other ratio, or at all.
It confers upon Congress the power 'to
coin money, regulate the value thereof,
and of foreign coin,' and neither gold nor
silver is anywhere mentioned in the
Constitution save in a section prohibit
in the States from doing certain things,
where it says: 'No State shall. .
nia'ie anything but gold and silver coin
a tender inpayment of debts. It is not
th- old dollar, nor tho dollar of our fath
ers; for their dollar was based upon the
ihti existing commercial ratio between
silver and gold.
"I ut, in fact, there is no reis-m to lie
liev'i that silver would appreciate, as the
residt of free coinage, to a parity with
gol I at the present ratio. All that is guess
work a guess not so much in the direc
tion of the desires of tho silver people,
but to allay the feirs of those wh idrcid
silver monometallism while still desiring
as large a use of silver as is consistent
with the parity of our gold and silver dol
lars. Two of the leading silver Senators
when the Sherman bill was pending were,
I know, much more positive than Mr.
Bryan is now, that the purchase by the
government of 4,.1M,niM wince of line
silver per month would take up the silver
surplus that they said was weighing down
the market price, and s i make and keep
our silver dollar at pir with the gild
dollar. Shall we trust theso prophets
again to our cost ?".
Bryan Will Lose His State.
Uepresenative Hainer. of Nebraska, was
at Republican headquarters last week.
"I don't want to make any blustering
statements." said Mr. Hainer, "but I
know that I am conservative in saying
that McKinley will get the electoral vote
of my Suite. There has been a decided
reaction. At first State pride entered
very largely into the prolilem, but the
Nebraska people are not repudiators am!
can always lie relied upon for their loyal
ty to the welfare of the country. We
shall not have a walk-over, for Nebraska
has become something of a political bat
tlefield in this campaign; every store
window iu the cities has a lithograph ei
ther of McKinley or Hryau, but five out
of every six busi-n-ss men, even iu Lin
coln, are for sound money.
"The farming classes are all right, de
spite the fact that they have suffered un
der a great prostiati-ui of business and
three successive crop failures. I'n.ler
such provocation not many States would
be true to the conservative lines.
"We have not forgotten how one crop
failure caused famine in Russia in ls;l,
and how llie people of .Nebraska got to
gether and lilted out a shipload of provis
ions to relieve the distress iu that rich
agricultural country; nor has it lieen for
gotten that when Congress was asked to
pay for the transportation William J.
Bryan was among those who voted
against the appropriation to send tho ship
across the waters on its mission of mercy.
You will find, in spite of the confusing
statements made alKiut the result in Ne
raska, that iu the final round-up Ne
braska will bis a Republican State still."
May Vaccinate Pupils.
State Superintendent Sehaell'er has
prepared a circular on the law relating to
the vai-cination of school children. He
says there may lie some question as to
the application of the compulsory feature
of the act in the townships, but at the
same time it is advisable lor all sch-iol
lioards to take such measures as may l-e
necessary to prevent the spread of con
tagious and infectious diseases in the dis
trict over which they have jurisdiction.
School boards have full authority to en
force the vaccination of school children
and to make a c ompliance w ith this re
quirement a condition of admission to
the public schools. Dr. Schaetl'er says if
contagious diseases are prevalent in the
neigh Imrhood or if th -re is danger of the
spread of a contagion from contact w ith
other localities, the directors ought to
protect the schools. The state superin
tendent says quesii ins w hich arise con
cerning the vaccination of school chil
dren must lie determined by the direct
ors. WDPSONONDCK, PA.

Famine After The Cyclone.
Jacks in vn. I. K. Fi.a., O -t. Now the
horrors of famine ar-j added to the hor
rors of the cyclone's devastation. Th m
sauds of people in Alachua, Lafayette
and Levy Counties are starving, and a
special session of the Legislature m iy be
called to relieve the distress. Hundreds
of farmers have lost everything; their
winter's food is wholly gone.
The roads are impassable for wag ins,

A Destructive Storm.
A storm that oiiginated in the West

veloping such an intensity that many
millions' worth of property were destroy

Savannah the loss ill aggregate $1,(K,

wreckage of the storm. Alexandria, Va.,
felt the full force of the gale, and four fa

Washington was struck by the wind,
buildings were unroofed and trees by the
thousand blown down. The White House
yard was converted into a devastated for

trees. Every street in the capital was
lined with branches anil twigs of trees

ret Heroio End of a Hermit'
life.
Ci.kvki.ax;i, O , -t. 4. The little town
of Hinckley, 21 miles from this city, in
Medina county, was thesciineof a grue
some death Saturday. Nearly 'D years
ago thero appeared in Hinckley a strang
er, of whom nothing was known beyond
the name which ho give, Bernard Sher
man, and with him came a big St. Ber
nard dog, which was his inseparable com
panion. The stranger took up his abode
iu an old hovel which he rented in the
lonesome outskirts of the hamlet. The
living place of the old man gradually be
came surrounded with an air of mystery,
and tho place came to be regarded with
superstition and fear. The mysterious
dweller rarely visited the village and
then only for the ns-essaris of life which
lieseemiil to have plenty of money t
pay for.
The old man had not l-ecn seen for a
long time, and an investigation was be
gun. When the tlour to the hut was
broken in the old man was found lying
dad, chained to a post, the condition of
the body telling of a terrible struggle,
w hich tho doctor have ascrilied to hy
drophobia. Just outside the hove! was
found the dog. The lieast's death had
lieen caused bv an ax wound in the head.
The supposition is the brute went mad.
and bit his master. Th old man reali
zing that death was inevitable, lock
ed himself in when he felt the madness
coming on, chained himself fast, locked
his fetters with a padlock and threw the
kev awav.
Buried under the tl-mrof the hovel was
found si:!,(ioii in gold. There was nothing
that could shed light on the mystery of his
life. In one pocket was found an ocean
steamer check from Liverpool, dated No-
veiii!er!, Wl,tud on the wall hung an
oil miniature of a love! v woin m and a
child. The Im-lv was given a decent
burial.

At a meeting of the managers of the
electrical division of the parade it was
decided to arrange a special circuit along
the line of march, which will lie connected
with long distance telephones, for the
purpose of allowing the voiis-s of Illinois
sound money men and all the enthusias

speed over the wires to the various cities
in the East and middle West.
The plan is to pi.-u-e transmitters at the
best vantage points. Audiphones sit the

will be erected, so that multitudes in
other cities who assemble to hear the
novelty can distinctly hear the shouts.
Men will be placed at e.tcii transmitter
in the city to announce each organization

passes. Major McKinley w ill listen to this
