A Few Words About the Al?
leged Silver Ring.
The unspeakable World asserts that
certain silver mine owners will reap a
profit running into the hundreds of
millions if Bryan is elected; and, with?
out regard to what is for their own in?
terest, the American people are ex?
pected ou that account to vote against
free coinage
Let ns look into the matter. In the
first place, if it be true, as is so fre?
quently asserted, that the hallion in a
silver dollar will not be worth more in
gold than at present, or, io other
words, will not have a higher purchas?
ing power, the silver mine owners
wouldn't make a cent, would they?
The denomination of their wealth would
be ohaoged, but not its value.
And so far as gold is concerned, if
as free coinage advocates wish and ex
peet, the result were to bring the met?
als to a parity by lowering the price of
gold measured in other commodities,^
or, io other words, tts purchasing pow
er, theo what will have happened will
be a loss ic the gold mine owners and
a gain to the owners of all others com?
modities, including silver, m like de?
gree. In other words, the gaio in the
purchasing power of silver measured in
-gold will also be a gain in the purchas?
ing power of wheat, of shoes, of cloth?
ing, measured in gold; and it will not
mean an increase in the purchasing
power of silver, measured io .commodi?
ties other than gold. How is the
miner to gain io that case, except by
the renewal of prosperity, which would
advantage all?
The silver mine owners would un
questionably gain greatly if the two
metals weat to a parity, net by a re?
duction 4in the purchasing power cf
gold, but solely by the increase in the
purchasing power of silver. Bat so
far as the general public is concerned,
that would not change present affairs
either for the better ar the woree. It
would not.raise prices or lower them
It would leave the currency right where
it is, so far as purchasing power is con?
cerned. Who believes that the owners
of fixed incomes among the very rich
would oppose free coinage if it were
likely to leave things as they are?
The-only remaioing possible by
pothesis rs that silver will rise some?
what tn purchasing power and gold
' sink somewhat, so as to briog the
metals at a parity, or nearly so, there
is no reason to expect any especial al?
teration in their present ratios But if
they arc brought to a parity, it is prob?
able that this will be accomplished by
silver iocreasing io purchasing power
and gold declining until they meet.
This will make silver mine owners the
gainers in purchasing power; but what?
ever it gives to them, to the last farth?
ing, it will take from the gold mine
owners. It will not come cu* of the
owners of o?ber commodities, who will
be gainers because of the rise in prices
far beyond the gains of silver mine
owners.
And it will be fair that silver caioe
owners should gain with other citizens.
They lost with them wheo gold apDre
ciated. And it will be fair that gold
mine owners lose; for they gained
while al! the producers of all other
commodities hist.

A PLUCKY CONJURER.
Be Displayed More Nerve Tiiin Did His
Volunteer Assistant.
A very pleasant anecdote is told of
Professor Anderson by Mr. Arthur a
Beckett in h:s "Green Room Recollec?
tions." He says the Professorin his
great gun trick used to give one of the
audience a rifle, some powder and a
marked bul lot. The marksman was
then requested to load and prepare to
fire.
Thereupon the professor walked to
the end of the stage and invited the ri?
fleman to shoot him. Then, after the
marksman had fired, he used to produce
the marked bullet, insisting that he
had canght it on a plate. On one occa?
sion a friend of mine, who was an ad?
mirable amateur conjurer, offered him?
self as an a?sistanr. He took the gun
and the ammunition and duly loaded.
It was the custom cf the professor to
give the bullet a final tap with his
wand to see that it was rammed down
properly, and this final tap, I have been
told, extracted the bullet. This my
friend knew, and when the professor
offered hi3 assistance he politely de?
clined. Anderson did not insist, but
coolly walked to the end of the stage |
and called ont, "Now, sir, take a good !
aim at mc and lire. ' ' ?
My friend hesitated, as he was well
aware that the gnu he was holding was
really loaded. "Fire, sir, fire!" cried
the professor.
My friend lowered the weapon, and,
saying he could not let it off, returned
it to Andeioon, who immediately, un?
der pretense of seeing whether it had
been properly loaded, extracted the bul?
let. Then hs gave the gun to some one
else. But before the rifle was fired he
addressed the audience. "Ladies and
gentlemen," said he, "the person who
has just resumed his seat knew my trick
and foiled it. If he had fired, this prob?
ably would have been my last appear?
ance before you. But he hadn't suffi?
cient nerve to shoot me. "
When it dawned upon the house that
Anderson had risked his lifo rather than
confess himself beaten, the applause
Was deafening. My friend told me that,
he felt rather small and regretted his
penchant for practical joking.
Ge Wanted thc Harth.
Stanley and Henry, two 4-year-olds,
gazed with wide open eves ata Knights
of Pythias funeral tho other day. The
uniforms made a strong impression upon
their youthful minds, and the band,
playing a funeral march, a stronger ono

they resumed their play.
"Let's play fconerai," said Stanley.

What Jack Hubbard Did.
Little Jack Hubbard went to the cup?
board and "swiped" thence a big cus?
tard of pie. His mother had said before
going* to bed, "I can make pie ernst
short when I try."
When morning came round, Mrs. H.
quickly found that Jack had been there
on the sly, and instead of short crust, to
her utmost disgust, she was short of the
whole bloomin pie.-New York World.
A Suspicion.
"I wonder why so many telephone
operators are women?" said the man
who cultivates an idle curiosity.
"I don't know," replied the misan?
thrope, "unless it's because the occupa?
tion puts them in a position to have the
last word every time."-Washington
