An Object Lcmou on the Value of Silver Dollars. The Santa Fe system has a branch lino which runs from Rincon, New Mex ico, to Guaymas, Old Mexico. Tho com pany pays its section .hands in both countries at tho uniform rate of 1 a day. But its American sections aro twice as expensivo to maintain as its Mexican sections. Why? When the paymaster starts out on his monthly rounds ho puts, wo will say, Sl.fiOO in United States money in his box. One thousand dollars of this money ho pays to 1,000 American laborers in Now Mex ico and Arizona. When he crosses the Mexican boundary ho changes the re maining $500 into 1,000 Mexican dollars, with which ho pays 1 ,000 Mexican labor ers. On Sundays the men frequently cross the line. When tho Mexican comes over to Arizona ho finds that tho dollar which he received for a day's work is only E0 cents in "spending money." On the other hand, when his fellow-laborer from tho states crosses the line he re ceives two Mexican dollars for his one dollar of Uncle Sam's money. This is because the American silver dollar is mistained at its face value with golii. Some Facts About Money. J.Money as a standard of valuo is an international, and not local or merely national, factor. 2. Cheap money will always drive good money out of circulation, and thus contract the currency. 3. A fixed standard is required to .measure value. 4. Gold money is of automatic issue. 3tfo one determines the limit ofissue. C. Fiat money is simply a forced loau. It is government money, and its value is alone determined by the proportion of its volume to tho credit of the issuing government. C. The words ''cheap" and "dear" mean nothing without a standard of comparison. 7. Panics are caused by tho overval uation of property and commodities and by general extravagance, and not by the so-called variation in supply of inoney. In lb93 and 1894 money was more plentiful than ever before. In 1873 the net deposits in our national banks were $07,4O0,O00 ; in 1894 they -were $2,919,800,000. The doposits in tho savings institutions of tho country in 1883 wer. 31,024,5G,787 ; in 1894 they were about $,000,000,000. 8. Business determines how much money a country needs. What we now -need is an increase in tho volume of business and not in tho volume of money. New York Mail and Express. What Free Sliver Means. The attention of the silvcrites is called to the flvo following propositions and to those who think that free silver means tho larger use of both metals tho study of tho third proposition is especi ally commended : First That there is not a free coin age country in the world today that is sot on a silver basis. Second That there is not a gold standard country in tho wbrld today that does not uso silver as monoy along with gold. Third That there is not a silver standard country in tho world today that uses any gold as money along with 8ilver. Fourth That there is not a silver standard country in the world today that has more than one-third as much money in circulation per capita as the United States has ; and Fifth That there is not a silver standard country in this world today where the laboring mau receives fair pay for his day's work, A Good Tiling to Remember. "What tho workingman wants abovo all things today is a greater demand for labor, that he maw receive hotter wages and buy mora of the necessities and lux. srles of life. M QLJHEADER Bourkc Cochran Denounces the Democratic Platform. IT IS A QUESTION OF MORALS Ai Well m of Patriotism He ItegariU the Situation as the Qraveit in the Illitory of the Country, Exceeding In Importance the Crltli of 1800 He Ad vise Democrats to Support the Mo Klnloy Electors. Bourko Cochran, the oloquent Tam many Democrat of New York, -whose speech in opposition to Cleveland's nom ination in 1893 mddo his name a house hold word in this.coantry, has been in terviewed as to the action of tlio nation al Democratic convention. Speaking of the situation he said : "I regard it as tho gravest in tho his tory of tho country, exceeding in im portance tho crisis of I860. Tho seces sion movement was but an attempt to divide this country between two gov ernments, each of them designed to protect property witMn the limits of its jurisdiction. Tho movement launched at Chicago is an attempt to paralize in dustry by using all tho powers of gov ernment to take property from the hands of those who created it and place it in the hands of those who covet it. This is a question of morals as well as politics. No political convention can iasuo a valid license to commit offenses against morality, and I decline to follow Mr. Bryan in a crusade against honesty and the rights of labor." " "Do yon moan that you will actively oppose tho Democratic party or abstain from active support of it?" "In a contest for the existence of civ ilization no man can remain neutral. Whoever does not support the forces of order, aids the forces of disorder. If I can do anything to thwart a movement, the success of which I should regard as an irreparablo calamity not only to thi3 country, but to civilizod society every where, I shall certainly do it." "What do you think of Tammany's action in indorsing tho ticket?" "I simply can't understand it. Thev strongly opposed tho platform at Chica go on the ground that it was an assault on tho integrity of the nation. They decline to ratify it oven now, which shows that they have not changed their opinion oi it. xec tney nave indorsed the candidate who stands upon it, and whose election will mean that.tho plat form which they themselves denounce as a singular combination of lunacy and villainy shall be incorporated into the statuto laws of this country." "Will you support Major Mckinley outright, or do you favor tho nomina tion or another Democratic ticket? " "I believe that all Democrats who are so thoroughly in favor of sound monoy that they place tho defeat of Bryan above the interests of any organization or party, should meet in convention for the purpose of considering the form and method by which they can give tho greatest efficiency to their opposition. For my part, I do not believo that tho nomination of other candidates for pres ident and vice president, however emi nent and deserving they may be person ally or politically, would serve any use ful purpose. Nobody believes that they would be elected, and any Democrat whose hostility to Populism and Repub licanism would not allow him to support either Bryan or McKinley could show his opposition to both by remaining at home on electiou day quite as well as by voting for a third ticket. It would be more convenient to himself individualy and would not creato a visible separa tion between himself and his party or ganization." "But how can men rupturing party ties be sustained by some sense of asso ciation among themselves?" "That end could bo attained by the adoption of a platform declaring for sound monoy ; against extravagant ap propriation" ; in favor of economical administration in every department of government ; in favor of a tariff for rev enue only, and ample for the purposo ; against the paternalism of tho Repub lican party and tho Populistio socialism of both the Chicagc and St. Louis con ventions ; in favor of that American lib erty which can be maintained by so lim iting tho power of the government that it can never interfere with tho daily concerns of law-abiding citizens. Tho plank of pressing importance in such a platform ij, of course, the currency plank. Now, the mere election of Mc Kinley will bo tho defeat of the silver movement." "Your obvious policy, then, would bo to indorse the McKinley electors?" "Precisely. The Democrats who will have achieved the success of their finan cial plank b the election of McKinley will yet constitute an opposition to tho Republican party tho day after tho elec tion, based on principles which are cer tainly to bo ultimately adopted by tho American people. What is needed, therefore, is not a new ticket, but a new platform which will declaro in unmis takeable language the cardinal features of the party faith, and which, while in dorsing McKinley electors, will provide for a really Democratic opposition to tho McKinley administration during the period of its existence." "What is your opinion of tho ulti mate outlook?" "Everything depends on tho manner in which it is waged. To my mind there is but one test of prosperity which can be applied to a country, and that is tho rate of wages paid to labor. There can bo no prosperity where low wages are paid. There can bo no distress where the rate of wages is high. It can bo easily demonstrated that this whole free isilver movement is a conspiracy against wages, and if tho campaign is fought on this line I have no doubt that every northern state that is to say, every state in tho Union in which it is practi cable to hold a free olection will be carried by the Intelligence and morality of tho American people against the monstrous propositions submitted to them by the convention which nomi nated Mr. Bryan for tho presidency." Exchanges. Your dollars are-now as good as gold, and it costs you to send a pound (1) to to tho old country about pi. If Bryjm is elected and wo have free coinage of silver at 10 to I, your dollars will only be worth 53 cents, and to send a pound (1) will cost you about $9.43. Devoriy-Waterford- Dr. S. Q.

Last year at this time chickens could not be sold in this market, but now buyers are anxious enough to send out wagons to bring them in. Nice peaches are 30 cents, potatoes 20 cents, eggs 8 cents and butter 10 cents per pound at Beverly this week. The money question is beincr con stantly argued on our streets by the voters. Free Coinage of Silyer, a mere political bubble, which will bo exploded November next, forms the basis of argument. We are inclined to believe that tho Free Coinage sentiment at present is on the decline. Thirty houses for rent in Beverly at this tirao and no renters. No Manu factures is the cause. There was some talk of building a grist mill at Waterford this fall, but it seems that it has fallen through, as we have not heard it discussed lately. C. E.

EniTOH Daily Leaden : We wish to ask your advice in regard to the wheelmen of this city. It is be coming almost impossible for the peo ple to walk on the sidewalks. We and many others have been compelled to get off of the sidewalks to allow wheel men to pass. The ladies will get three or four abreast, and will not giye way, so the people walking must get out of tho way or be run down. Also, they don't use lanterns. Not more than one in five has a light at night Is there no law for the people who walk and pay for the sidewalks ? Ten of the Leader's subscribers have concluded to ask your advice in this matter, and if needed will raise a fund to see what tho law will do for the walking people of this city.
