MORTON FOR GOLD. Mr. Cleveland's Secretary of Agricul ture out AgainMt Milver. WashiRKoin Aptii 22. Secretary Mor ton, in an interview on the silver ques tion, says: , "I do not believe that an international conference can establish permanently a oommeroial ratio between gold and silver any more than it can establish a perma nent commercial ratio between rye and wheat. But if an international conference can fix the price of gold and silver it oan also fix the price of wheat, or of any other commodity, and thereby avoid all the possible shrinkages in values which tend to cause panics. "My own judgment is that we must sooner or later declare that the United States of America recognizes gold as the best and least fluctuating measure of value and medium of exchange which the commerce of civilization has thus far utilized. "It is barely possible the fallacies of the Populists may temporarily secure a majority of the voters of the United States. Should such a catastrophe over take the country the people must learn by experience what they should have learned by diligent study and reason. "The time for straddlers is past. Those who are for sound currency on a gold basis ought to have the courago to say so, and abide by the results of their de claration. It makes no difference to me whether a declaration of truth either upon the tariff or on the money question temporarily drives them from us or allures them to us. "I have no hesitation in declaring my self utterly opposed to all the free coin ing fallacies. My judgment is that sil ver onn not be restored to its former monetary place in the commerce of this world, because the supply of silver has outgrown the demand of silver in the exchanges of civilization. The relation of Bupply todemand is the sole regu lator of value. This axiom applies p.like to salt, silver, sugar and soap. All leg islation of all the law-making bodies on the face of the globe can neither miti gate nor annul the operation of the inex orable law that 'the relation of supply and demand is the sole regulator of value.' "The president's critics, however, ask what 'sound money' is. An ordinary man of business can answer that ques tion. 'Sound money' is that sort of currency which has the most universal and least fluctuating purchasing power in the markets of all countries. That money is the 'soundest' for which throughout the commerce of the civil ized world there is the most universal demand. And that nniversal demand is always based upon the universal and un fluctuating purchasing power of that money." A Valuable Woe Little Rook, Ark., April 22. Sir Belvi dere, the most famous St. Bernard dog in the world, died at the Argyle kennels in this oity of gastritis. Sir Belvidere was bred by Green, near Liverpool, in 1887. Mr. Pratt, proprietor of the Argyle ken nels, bought the dag two years ago from Colonel Reick, of New York, for $8,000. KuKlah Freaa Comment. London, April 22. In a , leader the Graphic says President Cleveland is much toe clever and practioal to pursue a tail twisting policy in regard to the British ultimatum to Nicaragua. The Monroe doctrine, it adds, is a fine thing to talk aboot, but it does not exist in actual politics. The supporters of the dootrine have made it very difficult for foreign powers to obtain reparation when foreigners or foreign interests are as sailed by local populations or author ities. "Da they," the paper asks, "think we will tolerate any extension of this state of things in the minor republics of the great west?" London. The Standard in an editorial applauds the idea of an American society in London, and compares the very different treatment of Englishmen in Aimerioa with that of Americans in Eng land. lilve Stock Shipments. London, April 22. A Copy of the Aus tralasia Trade Review says: A weloome development has- ooourred in the visit to Australia of J.C.Brabbin,a large army contractor, who is undertak ing the buying and shipping of live stock from Australia to the united kingdom. Arrangements have been entered into with the Gulf and Port lines to oarry live cattle until larger steamers can be put on specially fitted for the trade. A ship ment of 116 head of cattle left Sydney by the Gulf of Bothnia, and other shipments are to follow. While it is satisfactory that British enterprise is undertaking this trade from start to finish, it is also a matter of regret that Australian enter prise had not earlier placed Australian cattle at the door of the British army con tractor without waiting until the lat ter ferreted us out in our seclusion. Live sheep are landing in London in good condition and realizing payable prices. , CATTLEMEN EXCITED. Haeased Mexican Cattle In Kanaaa . stockmen Threaten force If KnTorta Are Hade to Pas ture Them.
