PI sm\<; SILVER TO THE FRO\T. The efforts of the Republican leaders to make free silver the paramount issue are j becoming interesting. It has not been ! long since the Secretary of the Treasury. 1 Mr. Gage, was quite certain that Mr. Bryan could do nothing to overturn the gold standard without the assistance of both the Senate and the House. In an in terview, which we published yesterday, hr said that Mr. Bryan, if he should be e’eeted, coukl, and probably would, do a very great deal to disturb the gold stand ard. He said that he could order his Sec retary of the Treasury to pay the current txpensea of the government, ami the in terest on the coin bonds, in silver. The effect of this, in his opinion, would be to put the government on a silver basis and greatly injure the credit of the govern ment. It ie doubtful if Mr. Gage was wholly sincere when he gave out thte interview. He was not trying to give the public information. He was endeavoring to scare timid people, and particularly the Gold Democrats, Into voting for Mr. McKinley. His purpose was the same as that of Mr. Peter A. B. Widencr of Philadelphia, a capitalist, who, on his arrival from Eu rope on Sunday, said that the election of .Mr. Bryan would be followed by the greatest panic the country hud over seen. Ah a matter of fact Mr. Bryan is just as deeply interested in the welfare of the country os Mr. Gage, or Mr. Widencr. If he should be elected he would not do anything that would tend to bring disas ter on me business and industrial interests of the country. Notwithstanding what Mr. Guge said, he could not suddenly up set the gold standard if he wanted to, and it is not probable that he would attempt to upset it without the authority of Con gress. He recognizes the fact that the silver issue is not now the great issue before the country, and thnt he is getting the support of thousands of voters in all parte.of the country, who would not sup port him if it were. If he should be elect ed therefore he would up ply himself td saving the country from imperialism, not to the overturning of the gold standard. He would recognize the fact that he was elected on the imperialistic issue, and not the silver Issue. He would not therefore undertake, without the help of Congress, to change the financial situation. And it must not be forgotten that Mr. Bryan is not an advocate of silver monometallism. T he Democratic platform calls for a finan cial system which shall restore and main tain a “bimetallic level.” If the Demo cratic party saw that free silver coinage would not maintain a bimetallic level it would abandon it. % TIEKICAX SHIPS \M> Ollt F\ 11 M FRS. Mr. Alexander R. Smith, expert agent on shipbuilding for the Twelfth c nsu, deliveed an address before the Farmers’ National Congress at Colorado Springs la& Wednesday cn *h subject of “Will American Snips Help Farmers?” In the • ours- of his address he said that the people cf the United States annually paid to foreign ship owners S2X\OOO.(KO for car rying their products to foreign markets, and br nging back what they needed from • bore markets. He declared that this vast sum would be saved to American people if the ships to do the carrying trade were owned in this country. His contention was that the greater part of our exports being agricultural products, the farmers are directly interested in having American commerce carried in American ships. Mr. Smith did not make it clear that the farmers would get any more for the products* of their farms if tin lr wheat, corn and cotton were < arried abroad in ships owned by Americans, and, as a matUr of fact, it is doubtful if they wculd. It would be gratifying, of course, to the national pride, and it would out money in the pockets of some Americans, to h.v the cmm r e of the country carried in ships flying the American flag, but it is doubtful if the farmers would be any be I r off. The purpose of such arguments as that of Mr. Smith and others l< to get the country to favor the Hanna-Pavne ship subsidy bill. That bill irjvlcks that atiout KUOO.OCO a year shall be paid in subsi dies to shipbuilders and ship owners. It is apparent, however, to any one who has studied the subj ct, that that sum would not be sufficient to subsidize u fourth part ot tha shits necessary to carry the com merce of this country. Therefore fr ight rates would noi a lowered by the sub sidy scheme, and the farmers would not he benefited by it. It would take a good many millions more than the Hanna- Poyne bll p ovde< for to est tb’ish a sufficient number of steamship lines to cany the commerce of this country, and this subsidy would have to b* paid for a long serf s of ytars. li i-* certa n that is long ns it was (aid there would not bt much progress in the direction of building up a merchant marine sufficient o do the nation’s carrying trade. Only a numler of ships sufficient to earn the udsidy would be built. The paying of subsidies would have the effect of keep ing up the coot of building and running steamships The subsidy bill, therefore, instead of his:emng the time when American commer e would le carried In American bottoms would put it further off. The only way, and 'he true way, to encourage the building of steamships !r* this country and to bring about the run ning of them as cheaply as foreign st* am t-hips are run, Is to change our navigation ! ] iws, so that foreign built ships can have the ben* fit of American registry. Then the builders of American chips, like the | builders of the American locomotive, i would show th world what American I energy and skill cou’d do In the w ty of shipbuilding. The lust and cheapest ships would be built in American shipyards.

Manufacturers of cotton goods in th's 1 country and England are feeling the ef- I fects of the troub e in China. Warehouses ' are filled with goods manufactured for the Chinese marker. Mills thnt make goods for that market ore serious y con : .-Mering the advisability of curtailing pro duction. Indeed, some of them have al ready shut down. In England the outlook Is gloomy for manufacturers for the Chi nese market, and their operatives. And there are no indications as to when the trouble in China will be over. As long as the present unsatisfactory state of af fairs continues there will be no attempt to send goods to China. The goods cou.d not be distributed even if they were to ! reach the Chinese ports. They would j have lo be placed in warehouses there and from all accounts the warehouses are 1 pretty well filled now. The chief mark* t for many of the mi ls of the Southern states is China. Naturally, therefore, there is a strong de sire among manufactur rs of the South that peace and order shall be restored in China as quickly as i*>ssible. There are pretty well founded apprehen sions that order will not be restored in the near future. The Chinese are ready to enter into negotiations for the restoration of peace, but the European Powers seem rather anxious for delay. Evidently they are not ready 10 say what the termr. .of peace shall be. It looks as if they were getting ready to demand big slices of ter ritory as indemnity. If that be their pur pose, it is likely they will have trouble among themselves. In that event, it might be a year or more before English and American manufacturers would be able to get their goods into China. A delay of that length would cause a great deal of hardship in bo h this coun try and England. Mill men would suffer heavy losses and the mill operatives would suffer for the necessaries of life. The ov erage newspaper reader thinks only of the military operations in China, the ministers who have been rescued and the missiona ries who arc being given protection. The effects of the trouble, however, reach far beyond the Chinese Empire. They reach business interests and homes of thousands of people who reside far away from China. There is no doubt that our government Is anxious to settle the trouble as soon as possible, hut it cannot have Us way in the matter. It can withdraw from China, but it is far from certain that such a course would hasten the settlement of Chi na’s affairs. It might keep itself out or troublesome entanglements with foreign Powers by withdrawing, though at the expense of a portion of this country’s Chinese trade. One thins that seems certain is that if Chinese affairs continue in an un settled condition for a considerable length of time there will be much suffering among the operatives in this country and England of cotion mills which cater to the Chinese trade. interest on the income bonds. The directors of the Central of Geor gia Railway, will, it is expected, at their meeting to-day. decide the rate of interest the road will pay this year on its first Income bonds. No doubt the holders of. the bonds hope It will be as mueh as 3)4 per cent It may be as low as 2 per cent. The rotd undoubtedly <lld n good business during the last fiscal year, and it is probable that by taking every cent in its treasury, it could pay fully m Pr cent, on *he first Incomes, but would it bet good, policy to do so? Ought not a road of the Importance of the Centra! always have on hand a work ing capital of at least $100,000? Accidents are liable to happen and had years are certain to come once in a while. It would be a misfortune to have to borrow money for operating expenses. Besides, the time is close at hand when there will be need of new ships for the Ocean Steamship Company. Several of the ships are get ting old, and one was lost a few months ago. The understanding is that the com pany carried Its own insurance at that time, and It is probable that the cosh was not on hand with which to buy another ship. We do not. of course, make, any sugges lions as to the financial matters of the company. We simply refer to them, since the entire state feels mote or less Inter est in the Central. We would not be surprised in view of the fact that mone\ will have to be spent soon for a depot in Atlanta, and the furth. r fadt that the revenue received from the Georgia Olid Alabama and the Florida Central and Peninsular has been withdrawn, those roads now being a part of the Seaboard Air Line, and the probable loss of revenue from freight depot rental in Atlanta, if the Interest on the income bonds should not be quite as large as the holders of thoso bonds would <.Ke It to lie. H would seem, however, to be for the best interests of the income hond ho’.ders. and all the other .bondholders, for the company to keep a little cash In its strong box for emergencies.

The movement to revive the Gaelic tongue in Ireland is progressing rapidly, and the parliamentary commission is now making inquiries with a view to ascer taining the feasibility of teaching that language along with English in the pub lic schools of the Emerald Isle. Promi nent Irishmen incline to the opinion that the revival of the language of their fore fathers Would be of groat assistance to rhe Irish independence movement. Many Irish newspapers now print a column in •he Gaelic tongue every day, and the in j rerest of the people of all classes in its | revival is rapidly increasing. Gen.

The i iobi- m of transportation for th G.COO.uOO i ounds of beef on the hcof, which tho Russian government has ordered from the Ar mour company for its ecluh rs in Chi* a, is a most vexing one. It is easy enough to g t the beef, but transports are scarce ard freigh s are h gh. The Ar mours have s cured a number of vessels on the Pacific coast, but they have by 10 means secured a sufficient uuinbc r for this gigantic shipment. The crops io Ireland are seriously threatened on account of continuous and heavy rains during the last two months, and while it is not likely that there wil be another famine, the food crop will be cut off to such an extent that bread riots are expected in many place*. Ireland may g t through the year without outside aid, but the indications now point .-tronglv to the fact that she will need some assist ance. Mr. Charles A. Towne having called attention to the numerous contradictions that Candidate Roose velt is made of, the people are duly warned in advance of the Gov ernor’s Western tour. Governor Roosevelt has also been, duly warned by the Presi dent and Mr. Hanna. U will be interesting to see how long it wilUtake him to make his first mistake. In London, it is said, the talk of war with France, even on the part of the most conservative, ts increasing. Just why England should be anxious to get into a fight with France is a mystery unless she is looking forward to some thing to keep her busy when the South African affair and the Chinese muddle have been settled. > ■ * It is not likely tha*. the Chinese troops who offered such feeble resistance to the allied forces in the open country on the march to Pekin, are now trying to defeat them when the allies have the benefit of rhe massive w r alls of the Chinese capital for defense. Stories of such a battle, un less practically official, w ill be given little credence.

The partners had a capital of only 53,5h0. They could not af ford a horse an 1 wagon, so John pur chased a two-wheeled push-cart and de livered his first order himself. The profits of that first day's business amounted to just $.16. The young partners invested every c* nt of it in an advertisement in the Phi'adelphi lnquirer next day. CURRENT COMMENT. Dismissing S*. cretary Gage's interview In which he stated Mr. Bryan, if elected, could overthrow the gold standard, the Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says: “It is now Gage vs. Gage. Some weeks ago the Sec retory of th** Treasury stated in an elab orate h vUw of the gold standard bll • nac tel at the last session of Congress that it was a complete and satisfactory treasure; that as long as it remained on the statute books the finances of the country could not be placed upon o silver basis.

Two men had been standing for some time talking at the bar in a public hOhse in London, says the New York Evening Sun. As they had not bought a drink the proprietor was just about to hint at their withdrawal, when he heard a part of th© conversation which greatly interested him. “Yus, Bill, it’s cruel ’ard, that’s what it is," said one of the men, “it’s the last bit of silver in the ’ouse. I could only get two bob on it. Two filthy shillings.” The landlord was much interested. He was quite a collector of old plate, old paintings, in fact any old thing. It had been his hobby for years. So he asked the men to have a drink with him. Of course, th.y accepted. Then he usked the man who had been talking why he had to pawn the silver. “Why, it’s like this, sir,’’ answered the man, ‘‘the governor, that is my master, is ’aid up. Ec’s pawned every blessed thing ’e owns. Only last week ’is only overcoat ’ad to go, and now ’ere’s the last bit of silver gone. It’s a woman that done it. Blime me, I believe they’d ruin a saint.” The landlord, of course, expressed his sympathy for the young man, but he had his eye to business, lie argued that a man who kept a valet, even when he was “broke,” must natural y be a gentleman. Again as tho man spoke of its being the last bit of silver lefi, it once must have been part of some rare old dinner ser vice. or somcUvng of that kind. So he made up his mind to try and buy the pawn ticket from the man. “I don’t suppose that you would care, to sell the ticket, would you?” he asked. “Now, sir, I can’t say,” the man an swered, “besides, sir, you don’t know’ what it looks like. It’s a bit worse for wear, but it’s o’cl. werry old, and as good a bit of silver as you ever laid your two eyes on. But seeing as ’ow the governor is stony, I might part with it. 'Ow much will you give me for it?” “Lei’s have a look at the ticket,” said the wise collector of antiques. The man handed over the ticket, which showed that “Robinson” had pledged “a piece of silver,” for two shillings. “Well, I’ll tell you what I’ll do. I am quit© a collector of silverware, and if you core to sell this ticket I’ll give you half a sovereign for it. What do you say?" said the landlord. The man hesitated for a moment, then said: “Of course, I shouldn’t do it, sir, but the governor is so ’ard up. I’ll tell him that 1 lost the ticket if he asks me. And if any one asks you. you can say that you found it. You mustn’t blame me if you are disappointed with i(.” “That’s all right,” said the publican, “I won’t give you away.” He bought the ticket, gave the man his ten shillings, and considered that he had done a very good day’s work. The silver dish, or whatever it turned out to be, would be cheap at twelve shillings. When he had a chance, he went around to the pawnshop, to redeem the pledge. The clerk looked at the ticket end handed him i half a crown (two shillings und six pence). “What’s that for?” asked tho collector of antiques. “Why,” the clerk replied, “it’s the ’arf a crown that I just loaned the Johnnie two bob on.” The landlord was furious, of course, but the man had told him the truth, it was ’a bit of old silver.” It was dated 1812. l*le for Caricaturists, "The late Senator Ingalls was a strange-looking men and simply pie for ; the car caturisfs,” said an old reporter, according to the New Orleans Times ; Democrat. “He had the most curiously shaped head I ever saw in my life. From the brows up it appeared to be almost cy lindrical. and his forehead was inordi nately high. Under this huge dome was a face which was disproportionately rmoli and tapered down to a sharp, bony chin, making him seem tremendously top he ivy, especially when he re moved his hat. A full b ard would have restored the equilibrium, just as it dots with Secre tary John Hay, who is built on the same lines; but 1 really believe Senator Ingalls took pleasure* in accentuating his* physi cal peculiarities, and he wore a mustache and chin tuft that, if anything, increased the* triangular effect. Anoth c r proof of his love of oddity was (he way he dress rd. As everybody knows, he was very tall and slim; but. In a loose coat, that wouldn’t have been particularly conspic uous. Yet he never wore anything bur a close-fitting English frock, usually light brown in color, and buttoned up to the throat, winter and summer. He was al ways exquisitely neat, but he looked so oomiea’ly like his carcatures that he seemed to have stepped out of the pages of oiih of rhe satirical journal-;. Some time ago I happened to be in the company of quite a noted lady writer, in another city, when Senator Ingalls* who was there to deliver a lecture passed near by. *Dfar me! who is that extraordinary man?’ asked my companion. ‘Why, that’s In galls,’ I replied; ‘is it prssibl? you have never feen his picture?’ ‘Oh! c rtaintly. I’ve seen his picture,’ she retorted indig nantly. ‘hut I never c)r amed thnt any liody r ally looked like that!* The Sena tor was easy to interview, by th** way. and was th** soul of courtesy. That prize fight report of Ms. about which he was afterward so badgered, was a source ot gre*t annoyance to him during the last year or so of his life, and I dare say h+ deeply regretted having written it. I am told that he hesitate*! a good deal about I taking the job. but agreed to do so when somebody reminded h m that l o h Ju linn II w!l o re and John Boyle O’Reilly had written sim lor ar Icles. ‘lf they could stand it I guess I can.’ he said.” Tried to Avoid (li<* \ppointment. There is a popular impression thnt every roan holding n high office under the gov ernment sough* the appointment and worked and schemed to get it. says the Chicago Tlmes-Herald. The trouble the IKHitoftice department had recently in finding a man willing to accept the sec ond place in (hat branch of the service ia a good answer to that. It is true that in hard times there is n tremendous pres sure for appointments. Just afer Mc- Kinley's inauguration there was an over age of twenty aspirants for each place. Now there is, comparatively speaking, very liitle office-hunting. It occasionally happens (hut the office has to go hunting the man.
