I THE CAPTAIN'S MATE By Major Alfred R. CalhoaJ

Tin; GENERAL BCOTT, though aOMaVfl of the fine clippers tiiut ouce maii- Hnltiinore famous, an.l gave I world-wide reputation to the American merchant marine, is tili an excellent vct-sel. Ihr..- wars ago the General Sett h ak commanded by Tracy IKrom. who owned a half interest in the vessel and was thought by those who are authorities in tneh matters to be the ablest iailor and shrewdest business BU that ever handled a ship or disposed of a cargo. Capt lUroni was :ifl years of ape, active, pood looking and inelined to l.r stern. He was "a moody man," given to pacing the deck witb his bands buried deep in bin pockets and his eye east down. Hut men who had ailed with him since he first came on shipboard, a beardless hoy. declare i hut up to his thirtieth year, Capt. By rom M as light-hearted a sailor as ever touched rudder or rope. When Capt. By rom was M year I if nge, and while he was a yet only first i1ir. r of the ship of which he was now tin' master, be became acquainted with Amies Hnyne, the daughter of a vvealtl Baltimore mercliant who had saade a fortune in the Soutb Ann rican trade. At that HtnC Mr. Hayne aw ned an interest in the (ieneral Scott, and as the cal'. n of the ship was fit ted up for pnssei:L' rs. he took a voyage in her, one winter, to Rio Janeiro, his beautiful daughter accompany in;,' him as nurse and companion. In addition to being a thorough sailor and well-educated, Tracy Ilyrotn had a susceptible heart and an eye for the beautiful. Early in the voyage he became acquainted witli Agnes Jlayne. Aa they had similar tastes, this acquaintance soon ripened into friendship. Agne. Haync's father had the gont. and the disease d:d not improve a tempcr which, at its lust, was far from iinialile. He was a sharp-eyed old Gen

tleman, and whether he suspected Tracy By rotn's feeling for Iiis daughter or not. certain it is that he ev i need, from the first, any tiling but a fondness for the y oung man. When Agnes shook hand with the first officer of tJie General Scott, at Bio she thanked him for the kind-ne-he had show n her during the Vorige, and she said, as she looked into aifl blushing, confused face: "I hope. Mr. By rom, that we may meet again." The ship, having dieebafged one cargo and taken on. another, sailed away from Hi o Janeiro, and they oiing sailor's heart was noue the lighter liecause hr liad left his heart behind him. Mr. Hayne. who w as a widower, w ith Agnes, his only living child, spent six months in Brazil. Meantime, he had Ii ade up his mind to return on the Genera! Scott, for he had been given to tind. r-tand that that ship had another first officer, a 4 this was the truth. But lie had not learned that Tracy By rom had been promoted to the position of captain of the same ship. hen he did learn this fact it was too late to change Iiis arrangements, so lit came hack to Baltimore with his daughter in the ship thr.t took them out. During the voy age, Mr. H a. v lie's ailments confined him for much of the time in his stateroom, and. a- a consequence, the happy yoitnir captain was thrown much with his heart's ideal. That was the shortest and the happiest voyage Tracy Byrom ever sailed, lie had been so attentive to Mr. Ilnyi.c thai simply as a matter of courtesy the cruff old gentleman could not help thanking the young officer who had 1 ' n so consult rat i . .1 1 d say i nu' to 1. im a parting in Baltimore: "If I can return your favors, Capt. Bj rom, command me. This was certainly encouraging. A WUOa after tlie captain made a formal tu see how Mr. Hayne and hidaughter were feeling after the voyaire, and, if chance offered, to carry '"it a resolution which he had formed ftcr long and careful deliberation. This resolution was nothing more nor less than to tell Agnes that he Ii 'Ved her. and to propose that hence

forth they sail life' seas together. The tdd gentleman was out. and Agnes wns at home. And so Tracy Ityront, by deaperata effort of win. told the young lady that he loved her. Bflt did not seem surprised: how coiihl she be when she knew of his love 'ilrenily? He straining her cvtdei.t emotion, she confessed that no man stood higher in her esteem and affections than ('apt. Byrom. "I'.ut, ' she said, "I hnve promised my father never to marry without his consent. I am now of age. still duty makes this promise binding. His hapJ'iness is my first consideration. Sec him and I will abide by his answer." In the exultation of this success Capt. Hyrom felt sure that every other ''bstnclc would vanish. He sought an 'arly opportunity to see the ,1,1 pot,. Jlcinnn. and. without any foolilli preliminaries, he stated his object. He wa met by a thunderclap of lnMgliaUon. Mr. Hayne was furious at ha he called "the presumption of at, i istart" Tat aaptaii said fraahtf 'hat his own family in .Maine atOOd l'i'te asl.lgh as the Hay nes did In HaltiOtt, and that as for himself no man would d.ire to utter aeght against hi. character. The tl gcDucttiftii udetl üi iutat-

slew by ordering Tr o v V renn fr-:n the hoi. si u 1 (i wuriiii g him. if he va.. ued hi lift , not to at u nipt to enter it gain. The captain left tin home, w rote the particular of hi- : ting with h r father to Agues at d asked for one

more Matting, but she mad. go reply. From this time on Trucy By r aal a changed man. He heard the following vt ar that Agnes hud gone to Europe Hiili her father, hut his pride preventel bis inquiring into the mutter. Nearly ix yean after his last meeting with Agnes Hayne the General Scott, tili commanded by Tracy Byron, aaa bound for Daatrig, with a largo from Hah in ire. They ha I been out of port about ten days whea the furvv ard lookou' shouted dow n : "A stt atner on the port bow dying signals .if d'st resa!" in hand, the captain sprang Into tin rigging, and lie -aw in the direction indicated a trans-Atlant ic toad steamer, her decks crowded wit Q people, while through th( rigging there rolled a black smoke that did not come from the furrace funnels. Tht ship i on tire!" shouted the captain, and be looked at his watch and -aw that there were only two hours uf daylight left. The MWa4 of the Genera! Scott wan altered, and aa the bhips ncared thty exchanged signals. From these signals Capt. Pjrroaa learned that the steamer was the City of ork, from Southampton for New York, with a general cargo and l-M paasengori on boaro'. He further learned that the atattmahip had encountered a terrific storm and that all her life boats w ere w -ashed aw ay. Captr.

It was qolta dark before the first boa1 load of Winnen and children reaeheil the General Scott, and they w 1 re at once transferred to the cabin, t he capt :i in leaving t h i - t t he stew a rd. By the light of the burning steamer, boat load after boat load was carried over the waves till all the passi-n-gi r nod crew were t rnr.sferrcd from the wreck to the deck of the clipper. The sailors gave up their quarters, and the hatches were opened to Bake room among the cargo for those who could not find aceoannodations in the regular quarters. But the people were 0 happy at being rescued that they did not mind the I ucotivei, ience. 'Captain." sail! the steward, after be

had served coffee and distributed blanket s. "there la a I ad J iu your room that wants to see you." The captain had been too busy rescuing the people to attend to the detail of their care, but he went at once to his own stateroom, and standing in t be door he saw a beautiful b.dy d FlUld ll mourning, who-e feature he could not well make out in the indistinct light. "Tracy." lic said, "have you forgotten me?" "Mis-s Hav lie!" "Agnes Hav ne," she said, read ing out hi? bands. "Thank God, Agnes, that I came op time." That was all the captain said then

In the meantime the captain had learned 'rom Agnes that her father Lad died in .' :rope nearly a vear before.

Tlo republicans seem to have come iO tie conclusion that they cannot ivoid taking notice of the fact that Uie dmocr:.tic party stands squarely 3ii th- financial ihsue. So their mills have -tartcd up again for the purpose of putting out a goodly quantity of material of a character warranted to kill ol' silver sentiment at sight. Hut th v iiit is of the name kind that 1 aa been so frequently found da feotlve, the takers of this latest grist will not be aura of ita effecta. The grist being ground by the mills is not new nuterial, but is t Ik- same that w as thoroughly ground two years ago. We canno' blame them for this, as the origin;. 1 material was very expensive, (they (aid at the rate of f2.0(XJ a night for soi ie of it ) and we cannot expect them t pa re ham any new opinions in an off year. One of the mills in Indiana has

startet to grind out "open lettera to Senator Turpic." These letters arc not exjectt d to reach Senator Turpie, but this is merely an artistic setting for the opinions to be set forth, It being 00 sd that the coupling of a great name vith the literary venture will cause t:ie pseudo-epistles to be read. The wr ter in this case is B. S. Taylor. He rusl es into print with some brandnew (V ideas they wer" new nbout to year ago. One t ' the first fine thoughts of the gentleman is expressed in these words: "Inasmuch as we have had Unlimited COinaga of gold for lOOyears and as no one is proposing any change in the la v in that respect, this demand for the 'ree and unlimited coinage of gold see ns to be unnecessary." How delighted the gold standard men would be and how delighted the currencycontract onists would be if thedemocrats wt aid eliminate from their platform thi.t clause. The gold standard man woi.ld then be able to assert that tihe siht r men were waging war on gold as a money metal, and the currency contractionist would be able to hope that the silver men. once in the saddle, would assist in demonetizing gold, aa was attempted in l'urope about 18J7. The contractionist does not care which metal is thrown out. The loss of either will secure the end he desires. But the democratic partyIs determined to make its position plain, an 1 to demonstrate to the people that it is not fighting a money metal. bi:t is fighting the base principle of contracting the currency of this pjrowfog natiou. The man thof would demonetize gold receives notice that If 1- attempts to carry out his chemo ae need expect nothing but war from the party that is of and for the people. Mr. Taylor reasserts the old sophistry that silver would at once drive Old "oir. " Out where, Mr. Taylor) Not out of the count ry surely, for thaf could be done only if the balance of tratle were against us, and when the balance of trade is ngai;:3t us, the gold II go anyway. Not out of circulation, for some one must own the gold, and the holders of '..Vl.OOO.OOo of money cannot afford to have their property not earn then interest. The idea of money going out of circulation is a fairy talc. Gold did not go out of circulat on even during the war. but was mightily active, paying customs duties aud performing other duties that wire legislated to specie. It was not foi.nd much then in the hands of the common people 'or the reason that there was too g reat a demand for it In fulfi. ling the special functions ib gated to it by congress. It was not HOI J whan In evidence because it bad been 'detailed to special duty." But the congress that renionet izes silver will not "detail gold to any special duty " and will not confer extraordinary privileges upon it. Hence it will be fo ad in the bands of all the people as usial. There is no "out" that it can to anil pay interest to its owners. tt r TTTT-nsmN.

AN EQUITABLE RATIO. Illsaelalllaia Favor the tolaaa f Murr NoatOf ll Help Trade mmiX ladaalr). Ilimetallista. want more 100-cent dollars, and goldites fewer 100-cent dollar the fewer the better for them. Btnttallfftt do not fix an unalterable ratio for i he m mage of the 11 . tab; but demand that tin re be free coinage of both me talk, and favor the existing ratio of sixteen to one, because a has never been demonstrated that free coinage of both metaia cannot bt maintained at that ratio; but on the eoutrary it has been demonstrated by a record of M) years in thia country and in Huropc that this ratio ia an equitable one. It would ne tir nacial folly to advoeute any other ratio tinder existing conditions; and the goldites know this. Hence they do not advocate any other ratio; but how! to scare the people, and to preren! tain from having all the money they ought to have "50cent dollars!" A veritable contradiction in terms, and they know it. Bianetallists are ready to concede that ratios have been changed and may be again; but in order to ascertain what the ratio ought to be conditions must be such as to prevent discrimination between the metala; and these conditions the United States is powerful enough and rich euough to establish unaidt d by and independent of any European government. Before silver was demonetized in 1573, silver dollars were at a premium of from two to three cents above gold. That waa under free coinage. Would it not ba folly to change the rat io without some evidence that It is not equitable? Himetalllsts favor free coinage of silver and gold by the Cnited States at the ratio of sixteen to one thl present ratio a ratio that differs but little from the coinage ratios of the governments of I'.urope nnd other portions of the world. They favor this because the business of the world would be benefited by the infusion of more money into the channela of trade, nimetallists do not want an inequitable ratio. If it is found that sixteen to one Is an inequitable ratio after it has been tested, then it can be changed by increasing or diminishing it as may be necessary. Hut In all probability no change will be necessary. Does the cotintry need more dollars? Then coin them out of silver nnd gold. The more the merrier. We don't want dollars based on bonds, but dollars that have the genuine metallic ring to them, nnd that the tax payers do not have to pay double interest on interest not only to the bank but to the bondholders.

AN ABLE ADDRESS.

AUlrart of a Sprtrh Itrrrallr Midr b Mew? xiiu r, .t catmiu, al Oiuaka.

The democratic party waa never more a unit in purpose and work than it is at the present time. It wasunited on the question of freedom for Cuba; it was united on demanding that retribution be administered to her for the sinking of the Maine nnd the murder of 200 American seamen. It stood united in favor of the most vigorous policy in the prosecution of the war and to the extent that the national administration has carried out the will of the eople, has been and is as united In ita support as Is the republican party. The democratic party is united upon the principles of the Chicago platform. The issues upon which the party battled for victory but which met with temporary defeat in 1'.6. are still alive and are the Issues of 1693-09 and 1900. No scheme of government and no principle which fails to recognize the interests of the toiling masses con be enduring in this country . The democratic party still stand. by the principle that would alKilish government by injunction. The democratic partystill believes that our system of currency and the BOeqital coinage of gold and silver t our mints arc crying wrongs for which there Boat be redres before this country will see lasting and substantial prosperity. The democratic party is united on the tariff question. The Dingley bill is a rev onue destroyer, a labor paralyser, destructive to American industry and la honeycombed with glaring favorit ism to trusts and monopolies as agnint the men who toil and sweat in workshops, in factory ar.d upon the farm. The democratic part y will go on flght ing ns in the past for human right, for justice and equality antl neither the fever of war nor the temporary vaporing of those who discourse with vagueness "our new responsibilities" or of "the duties pro ident ially laid upon us will detract from the main b--iie. Th- greatest reforms of the future w ill lie accomplished im dealing with our domestic affairs antl in handling Ihem properly and we need lot lose sight either of maintaining our relations with the rest of the v.iirld.

l.lnl la the Trrmnrr. Three hundred millions of dollar are now locked up in the treasury. There are only $340,000,000 of greenbacks in Existence. Thus a sum amounting to seven ighthn of the standard p.nper currency of the country ia w M l.draw n from t hp use.t of the people nt thnt time of year when monej is moat pressinglv needed for aatin rdtnaJalltga With .he naConal treasury full to repletion the people cannot get money enough for the transaction of their ordinary business. Ami for what they do get the money lenders arc charging H em nr. extortionate Interest. This is otic rf th- effecta of the single gold standard.

For monetary purposes silver has an equal rank with gold, for in accomplishing the object for which moiu y was instituted, money made of silver is as suitable and efficient anagent ab money made of gold. The great object of bimctallists is to restore gold and silver t-o a bimetallic par, so t hat the great mass of these metal which has been accumulating in thousands of years shall again become a kingle bimetallic money and that tbe changes that take place iu the annual production of either of them can only affect the mass by increasing or diaiinitdiing it. The relative value of gold and silver is dependent upon, aud is governed by the demand for them for monetary purposes, and the question is whether if the mints of this country were open to the unrestricted coinage of both metals, our demand for monetary purposes would be sufficient to raise the value of that metal to an equality with gold upon our present legal ratio of sixteen to one, w hich is three per cent, more, favorable to gold than the Franca ratio of fifteen and one-half to one. In that case the demand for silrver for monetary use would not be confined to thia country, but would embrace all silver-using countries and those rations in Kuropc which use silver as a token money, and in which, as in France and Germany, silver is still circulating for domestic use side byaide with gold upon the ratio of fifteen and one-half to one. It ia said that 75 per cent, of the inhabitants of the earth transact their business with silver money, while reckoned in our currency, t ti silver

used as token money and full legal

tender money in Europe amounts to at least $ 1 .200.0u0.000. which must be continually replenished. What i the demand in this country

for money for business purjwtses as compared with that of other nation?

As stated by Hon. Thomas B. Heed, in a speech delivered in the house of representatives, February 1. lsl4. we annually produce one-third of the manufactured products of th- world. The eminent statistician, Michael J. Mulhall, in an article contributed to I'ub'.ie Opinion. June f. l-'.i.. says that the effective energy of this country devoted to the production of wealth

if nearly equal to ihat of the Cnited

Kingdom, France and OeifUaBJ col

lectively. Mr. ( h.iur.ce y M Depew said

in a speech delivered la ItVfl "There

were carried Iat venr on the railroads of the Cnited States 'O.OOO.OOO tons more than on all the railroads

of the world outside of the Critetl States, and in all the ocear? commerce of the world put together." And 1 adds: "This internal commerce of the United States makes, it the most wonderful market in the w orld." We must also take into account the great amount of money that will be required in the count rit scorning under our control as a result of the war with Spain, the money to be paid for pensions and the vast amount of our public, municipal antl private indebtedness. In view of these fact it U manifest that if this country with its boundless capacity for using money should use only silver for monetary purposes that metal tipon our ratio would le worth more than gold. Hut when there I the unrestricted coinage of both metals, the moment silver becomes more valuable than gold, gold will take Its place and a permanent silver standard will be impossible. In that case the two metals will be on a parity w ith each other upon our ratio of sisteen to one. as they were for nearly ino years upon the French ratio of fifteen and a half to one. Then both metals would again be fully employed in the wond's commerce anil international bimetallism would be practically established. It is said: "All our money should be on a parity so that one dollar shall be asgood as every otherdollar." All legal tender dollars of whatever material composed whether of gold or silver re necessarily on a parity. Aa money one legal tender dollar has the same

power nnd is of the same value as every other legal tender dollar. As Mr. Cerr.uschi says: "The law of legal tender makes of them a forced currency nnd prevents any of them from failing lielow the nominal par." Legal tender greenbacks were always at a par and It was only when treated as merchandise that go'd was at a premium, but the eagle the ten dollar gold piece was never a legal tender for more than ten dollars, ami if

paid upon a debt, the person making the payment would not in law be credited with more than that sum. The fundamental error of gnM monometallists is in supposing that the standard of value Is the mater nl of which money is mnde. Cpon this theory the report of the Indianapolis monetary commission was constructed. In which it was contended that as gedd is the standard money of the civilized world it should be oi'r onlystandard of value and a!! our currency houltl be made exchangeable for gold. To this we reply that money nnd n t the Material of which money is made is the standard of value. "Money" M Mr. Cernnschl says, "la the scale of valmtion." In our monetary system the degrees In the gradation of thi scale are the dollar, dime, rent and mil!, and In the terms of this aea!e or standard, the vnlue of all forms of property are expressed, precisely as the weight and dimensions of objeeft

are expressed in tbe scale or standard of weights and measures. The dollar is tbe unit of thia scale oad is therefore the unit of ealue. The value or purchasing power of this unit cbangea as the mas of money in circulation changes, falling as the mass increases and rising as the mass diminishes. Money fixes the price of commodities and pays for them. It fixes the price uf labor and pays for it. A high money standard means low prices for commodities and a low price for labor. Our experience under the gold standard has been marketl by falling prices, tbe cutting down of wages paid for labor and tbe demoralization of industries.

A MONARCHICAL CONSPIRACY. Trrm-Iitn.u I'lot of Oold MandarO lmilirr la Kirupr to Ktilil Their Holirl sitra I pua la.

From 177j to 1"Oj the monarchical governments of Europe, led by Great Jlritain. directed their efforts to disintegrate and destroy the republic of the Cnited Statesby force, and through other methods that were scarcely concealed. Indeed the generally understood and accepted belief, up to that time, was that these monarchical governments were using their most earnest endeavors to overthrow the republic, so that it might be emphatically declared that the people could not rule themselves; that they needed a monarch to rule over them. Hut finding that the blood of democratic martyrs ar.d the persecution of our democratic form of government, were really strengthening the republic, at some perio t! between l'".; and 1-GS. the opponents in Europe of the republic secretly concoct ed the scheme of securing by misrepresentation and stealth that which they were unable to accomplish more openly. It was then and there decided that destruction of republican form of government could not be accomplished under bimetallism, and that as a preliminary the Cnited States must be brought under the single gold standard. They entered into a secret contract with the gold standard managers in Europe. V. say they did this, becaus events justify that statement. The laws of W,v l-7j. W.T ar.d l-75 followed. How many venal congressmen were purchased by European gold to secure the passage of these lawa will probably never be known. But in the people had discov ered the conspiracy which discovery drew from John O. Carlisle, then m member of congress from Kentucky, tl e follow ing emphatic and eloquent declara'ion: "The eonsplrarv which seems to hsve brt n formed here and In Europe- to destroy by legislation and otherwise thresevenths to one-half the money metal of tlu world H -h. most (r)K.antle crtrr." of this or any other aa;e. The consummation of such a scheme would ultimately entail nrnr- misery upon the human rice than all wars. pes:!lenre and famine that have occurred In m history tt the world." Carlisle did not overstate the facts, nor overdraw the picture. He had not dropped onto the true inwardness of the scheme, so far aa it waa expected to affect the form of government of this country. That was discovered later antl is Wcominc more and more apparent every day. But the scheme was checked by the passage through ihe house tif representatives of a free coinage law. anil the demand by the people that it should be passed by the senate. The conspirators fluttered and collapsed. All that they had toiled ami sinnetl for was vanishing, bimetallism would be restored and the republic preserved. Crawling on their bellies like snakes, the paid agents of the conspirators against liberty and democratic governmental freedom, plead and beseeched at the doors of senators for the defeat of the law. Through some means, which could not have lieeei holy, a compromise was substituted, and the Allison amendment was added to Ihe Hland bill, which crippled it. But even the Blnntl-Alliaon lavs- was a temporary defeat for the monarchists. The record of 1 i-93 and the few years that have intervened are fresh in the memories of most of our readera. The monarchists In Europe and here have Iwen working indefatigahly to ovtrthrow anv approach toward

genuine bimetallism, and to fix firmly and irrevocably the single gold standard upon tbe land. They have accomplished much in this direction, but still find obstacles that must be overthrown. They are directing their efforts now toward retiring the greenbacks, nnd lOH aid making the Hland standard dollars mere token money to le redeemed in gold. When that time comes, then willjie seen fulfilled in the Crited States the predictions C.-.rlisle made In 157. Then will "a rovemmrnt of the people, for the ptople and by the people" l a mere dream of the paat. The republican party of todayseems to have fallen under the complete control of the conspirators against the republic. The leaders and their org.m are nil at nearly all advocating the measures advanced by the mou.-irehistsof Kuropc. They have even goal so far ns to mill nnd try and sat Illy t he majority of 1 heir party, that has always lel!ercd In bimetallism, by stating that they would endeavor to secure "the consent of the monarch of Europe" to have it cstah1 idied! As if these monarehs were not the main conspirators in the scheme to destroy the republic! Illinois State Hrgbter. If I Un nit SV. At It ' r en a woman trill tell heg nge. Atehtaon Globe.
