The result of the distinct Pcpulist con vention which adjourned on Saturday even ing in St Louis in the same disoider whioh characterized it for four days ap pears to be more of a muddle the closer it is contemplated. And this is without re ference to the disgruntled feelings 01 about one-third of the delegates oyer the nonrnation of Bryan. It is not apparent how the Popilista are going to materially help the Populist can didate for President, Mr. W, J. Bryan without sacrificing their candidate for Vioe-Preiidert, Mr. Tom Watson, of Georgia. Or how are they going to push along their candidate for Vice-Pre«ident and at the same time give any practical support to their nominee for President. These Populists by making such nomina tion as they did for seoond place on their ticket decl' -ed their purpose to maintain their separate party organization Indepen dent of the othe; Populist convention ro cently met it Chicago. They can do this inder existing conditions only by running separate electors in support cf their nomi nees. If they do so the regular Popu' ist vote and the Populist- Democratic vote will Le cast lor different electors. There wi.H be Bryan and "Watson electors and Bryan and Sew; 11 electors, which would not carry out the scheme intended by Chairman Jones, of the Bryan National Committee, in seeking the nomination of Bryan at St. Loais, which was to unite all the Populist vote on the Populist-Demo orati3 candidate nominated at Chicago. Fusion can be accomplished only by the Baorifice of either Watson or Sewall and fusion Is going to do a great deal to destroy the regular Popn'ist party. If the Bryan Democrat concede tho Bryan Populist a division of electors in the dif ferent States, those electors, if otoaen, wonld of course vote for Bryan but they would not vote for Sewall How are those alleged Democrats who are support ing the Chicago nominees going to re gard such a betrayal of the Democrat ic end of their tioket for the benefit of the Populist end of ut Mr. Sewall was re jected by the Populist mob at St. Loais because he ij a Democrat, while Mr. Bryan was nominate d because he is and has been a Populist. On the other hand the regular Populists by voting for a fusion ticket would be supporting some electors who wouid not vote for their candidate for Vic President, and they wonld be selling out their oandidate for second place to help along their candidate for Pres ident. If all the Populist and Bryan Democratic votes cannot be got together on one set of eleotors in the States where ttey would promise ty blowing up the railroad trains upon which they travel with dynamite. The Spanish soldiers have l>een in the habit of shooting insurgents, women and children from the car windows, and Gomel has detei mined to make railroad travel more dangerous to the troops than to the inhabitants in the country through which they pass Profane but Expressive.

What is its present monetary condition? A. It is on a silver specie basis. Ten banks issue notes-$25, 4 27.<-*> in The SpJCIC silver,) reserve to pay them is 30,500, c». There is $15,000 in silver dol lars in circulation, and the country has about $55, c 3,000 of money in use, count ing in gold and subsidiary silver. The population is 12, if ;,ooo —$4.50 per capita. There are no Government notes. Q.—What has become of the f.3,32'.- oc 3,0 c i coined by its eleven mints? A It has been exported as fast as it was coined, as bullion, to for imports, at its commercial price as bullion. Q.— What is a Mexican dollar equal to in our silver coinage? A. fi.094. It contains 406.39 grains of fine silver; ours 37 Q 2 £V r hat is it worth in Mexico in gold? A. Exactly 58 cents when silver is worth 68 cents per ounce, as bullion; and 63 cents for a legal tender—five cents lying the cost of coinage. It fluctuates from day to dav as bar silver fluctates 111 j London. 1 O —Then a Mexican silver dollar is wo*"tli no more iu Mexico than it is anv vhare else in the world—its market price PS bullion. A.—Yes, five cents—the cost of coinage. It has no other fiat value 111 Mexico. . , , Q.— Then its practical "free ana un limited coinage" adds nothing to its ya lue? A.—Only- the legal tender fiat value in Mexico of five cents oyer the bu'lion value. If fiee coined this would disan appear, and it would only be worth in Mexico its weight in silver Q.— What is the cost o' living In the City «f Mexico? A —About one-foyrlli more than in New York city -in Mexican money. Hotel rates are are (5 P«r ,u > - Cr.bs cost fl 50 per hour. Street car .'arcs are (>% cents. P ents are higher than in New York city; board is dearer; restaurant meals cost more. Q.— What Is the cost of food? A.— •'our, 5# cents; sugar, 19 cents; beef, 6'A cents; pork, 8# cents; coffee, 24 cents; tea (cheapest) $1; cheese, 25 cents. All staples imported cost gold prices 111 addition to duties. _ Q. How much of this Mexican silver money can a man earn? A. —The street car companies pay conductors, drivers aud collectors from 50 cents to fr per day. The highest wages paid black smiths is %i 50; bookbinders, $1; carpen ters, $1 50; engine-drivers, $i so;harnes> makers, hatters, locksmiths, silversmiths, plumber* end turners, fi; machinists, >,l 75; bricklayers, stonecutters, honse painters, »i 25. Many work for half these rates. . . Q.—Then the cost of living is much higher and wages of craftsmen much lower than with us? A. —Decidedly. A craftsman in Mexico receives practically one-half American wages, aud his living in the same way as here costs much more. q —How is it with laborers? A.— They get to 50 cents per day in this Mexican silver money. Q. —And how do they live? A.—"At less expense than a farm horse in New England," and not so well, John Bigelow once remarked. "The laboring classes, says a Mexican newspaper, "regard them selves as a plant, which moves by ex traneous aids only, and has no powey of volition, and no desire to exercise it if it had."

Warrants were issued by Adjutant Csneral Stewart Monday night for the pay of the First and Third brigades of the National Guard for encampment se. vice. This breaks the record for promptness. Auditor Gen. Mylin and State Treas. Haywood are camping in Canada, The letters received at the Department of Agiiculture from Secretary Edge, who is now in Alrska to recuperate his im paired health, give the gratifying infor mation that both Mr. and Mrs. Edge have been much benefited by the"' ex tensive tour. It is probable that they will remain in Alaska for another pe.lod of ten days, after which they will retrace their journey homewards, traveling by easy stages, and by way of the Great Lakes of the Noithwest. The r long jaunt has demonstrated to them most fully the vagai les of American tempera ture, which ranged from the extre le tropical heat to a tempt-rats.'re tint al most reminded them of the frig d zone. State Factory Inspector Campbe' 1 is preparing a bill for the next legislature which he thinks will mateilally assist the enforcement of the compulsory edu cational law. At present there promises to be some little trouble in getting the new educational law into practical work ing order this fall, but this is only natural with a new measure, and Mr. Campbell proposes to have such amend ments made to both school and factory laws next winter as shall make the laws hereafter of mutual bereft*. He proposes to have children applying for work here after not only present cei tificites from their parents, stating that they are of the full age required by Pennsy.vania laws, but also to have them present cer tificates from their teachers showing that they have attended school for at least the minimugi time required by law. Mr. Campbell has jv«t returned from a brief visit to McKinley. A PENNSYLVANIA Democrat who ad vocates free silver coinage is in a strange position. He must repudiate the State platform of his pai iy which declares em phatically for sound mouey. Under such circumstances the best compromise he can make is to vote the Republican ticket. The Pops. Thursday, the delegates killed time talk'ng, but towards evening the Bryan men scored a decisive victoiy over the "Middle of the Road" men by electing Senator Allen of Nebraska, for perma nent chairman, o\er Campion of Maine vote 758 to 541. Friday evening the convention nomi nated Thomas E. Wa' >n of Georgia, for Vice President; and 011 Saturday TV in. J. Bryan for President. Bryan sent word to wlthdiaw his name if Sewell were not nominated for Vice President, but the convention went ahead and nominated him by a vote of 1,042 to 321. The Texas delegation and others met after the con vention adjourned and a resolution was oFered by Judge Wood of Texas, as fol lows: "In case William J. Bryan does not ac cept the nomination 011 the platform with Tom Watson Inside of thi. .y days, the j Hon. S. T. Norton be declared the nomi nee of the People's party of the United States." A committee was appointed consisting of a delegate from each state present for the purpose of drawing up a statement showing the public the position taken by the "middle of the roaders." Eighteen states responded and named a member of this committee. "Stump" Asliby of Tex as, presided and Sheridan Webster of Missouri, was secretary of the meeting. Without adopting the re: ilution an ad journment was taken until 7 that even ing. "Cyclone" Davis, who was seen by a representative of the United Press whib the meeting was in progre. s, and asked as to whether Texas would support Bryan and Wat 011 if they would stand on the Populist platform, most emphatically de clared that they would get the suppo. 1 of not only the state of Texas, but ot all the southern Populists, especially if Bryan would accept Mr. Watson as a running mate.

WORLD'S GOLD PRODUCTION Many Millions of It Comes Freely Into Circulation, EEGARBIIG TREASURY RESERVE. Germany, France aurt Kurlaud Ail Ocovpjr the lauuo PoPltlon a* the United States lo This Ketpect —SuipaiAlon of Gold Payment on Government N<»t«s Would Affect t'T» ry I'«rsou That Possessed a Dollar. • Q. Whar» are the latest official figures ol the world's(rold production? A. Iu the mint director B estimate forlSWi, published last week Q. What does this estimate show the world's present annual gold production to bef A. »20,000,000. or $17,000,000 more tfcAS In 1905 Q Compare thU total with previous yerlodr A The world's average annual production of gold, between 1870atid l»s0, was $115,081,500; of silver, $01,857,500; total, $206,980,000, or les« by $13,000,000 than thil year's estimated production of gold alone. As lately as 1884, the world's com bined production of gold and silver was leea by $13,000,000 than its present produc tion of (old alona. Q. Doe* this $220,000,000 of new gold ceme freely into circulation? A. It does. Q How can prove that fact? A. By the annual coinage statements of the load lag gold producing and gold importing nations, all of which ghow a steady in erea*« By the amount of gold in the world's great depository banks, which has laaraased with equal rapidity. These are perfectly trustworthy signs. Q. Is it not true that most of the new •apply Is "cornered" by the Rothschilds? A- Thero Is not the slightest reason for supposing such a thing. Q But if the world's gold supply has bean increasing so rapidly, and is not "oornerod," why has it grown harder every year for our government to maintain its ewn gold reserve? A Because of tho free ailver coinage movement in this country. Q. How can that movement affect our gold reserve? A. First, by forcing so mush new silver aud paper money Into circula tion that nobody pays gold any longer to tke government. Second, by the threat that the free coinage purtv will redeem tho government notes and bonds in silver only, which eauses holders of the notes to present them now for gold. Q. Why should such holders present their government notes for redemption now? A. For the same reason that made people, in the old state bank days, rush in for redemption the notes of a bank which was likely to stop payment. Q. Are there not other nations than our own whose currency requires a large gold reserve? A. There are. Q. What nations, for instance!' A. Ger many. France, Enplane! Q. Do not these countries have the suuio trouble with their gold reserve as our treasury doesf A. Not in the least. This gold reserve in each of these three coun tries is larger than necessary, and is con stantly increasing. Q. Why Is their situation »v different from ours? A. Because there has been no doubt of the money standard in Germany, France or England. Q. But has not the United States always had especial trouble in getting gold for its currency? A. It has not. Q. When did it get gold easily!' A. Be tween 1884, when tho gold standard was adopted, and lb6l, when paper money was substituted and the gold standard aban doned. Q. Did gold flow in ruadily at any other period? A. It did. Q. When? A. After the resumption of specie payments by the United States ia 1870, which was accepted by the world as onr re-adoption of tho gold standard. Q. What followed that resumption of Bpeclu payments? A. Within two years, $174,000, 000 gold was sent to usfroin Kuropa. i-J But surely this gold did not go into the treasury? A. More of it than the treasury needed went in. y. How do you know that? A. As early as Sept. 19, IS7U, the secretary of tho treasury announced that "gold coin,.be yond the needs of the government, had accumulated in tho treasury," and au thorize*! the uso of gold ll regular treas ury expenditures. Q Wore those two years a period of prosperity? A. For this country, a period of unparalleled prosperity. Q. How long did this prosperity lust? A. Until the silver coinage movement) was again threatening our maintenauce of tha gold standard. y. What happened then? A. Gold pay ments into tho treasury almost ceased, and gold withdrawals through redeinp of government notes grew larger. Q Suppose all tho gold in the treasury reserve wore to he used up, what would happen? A. Tho government could not pay gold coin to the holders of its notes. Q, What difference would that mako to a holder of 'a govornment note —say of a dollar bill—who did not caro to uso gold? A. His dollar liill would depreciate along with all other government notes. Since it no longer could exchange for a dollar in gold, it would no longer buy what a dollar in gold would buy. Q. How would such depreciation show itself? A. By an artificial and general rise in prices, without a rise in wages and salaries. Q. Has this aver actually happened? A. During our civil war, when the gold Standard was abandoned, the government paper money depreciated to 50 per cent, of its gold value, the gold premium msa above 100, and there was a frightful ad vance In prices. CJ. Then would suspension of gold pay ment on government notes injure all holdj erw of such notes? A Sooner or later, it would choat every man with a dollar bill In his pocket.—New York Evening l'ost. DR.
