Thursday last the Gazette "re
ceived a sample of the supplements
that are being sent out to such
newspapers as will use them, by
the "Sound Currency Committee,"
52 William Street, New York. The
holders of cold in London and
their agents in the United Status,
aided and abetted by others who
are their willing tools, have organ
ized this so-called "Sound Cur
rency Committee," backed by mill
ions of dollars to flood the country
with literature opposing the re
moDetization of silver. They have
viewed with alarm the growing
sentiment iu favor of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, pro
fessing that gold will be made
dearer if we broaden the base of
the financial foundation aiid admit
silver to free coinage the Bame as
gold. What wonderful sacrifices
some people will make for the
"dear people!" It was not formerly
so, and what has gotten into the
goldbugs, is something hard to
understand. At the close of Bu
chanan's administration, Uncle
Sam was held up and forced to
pay dearly for a little money to
run the ship of state till new hands
would assume the responsibility.
These "patriots," during the war,
locked up every cent of gold and
forced the government to pet
through the bt?Bt it could with
promises to pay. They cared less
for the credit of the government
than for their own selfiuh interests,
becauHe law aftor law was pauHod
to help the bondholder and gold
broker cinch the people, culminat
ing in the disgraceful and unpatri
otic demonetization act of 1873,
whereby half the money of ulti
mate redumption was stricken
down, appreciating the value of the
other half, forcing down tho piice
of cereals, lauds and rentals, and
making debts harder to pay. This
leihluted premium that money
bears cannot bo avoided, for the
creditor cares not that it takes
$1.12 worth or even a larger value
of products to buy a dollar to pay
the debt owed.

humbugging the people worse than
Barnum ever did when any por

as they are putting out in their
"sound money" supplements, sent
without cost to newspapers that
will use them. The Gazette would
not accept them &a a gift; would
not use them if it were paid $20
for every word that is contained in
their misleading, deceiving litera

The silver men won a signal
victory in the National Republican
League convention Thursday. It
was reported that the convention
would attempt to reaffirm the plat
form of 1892, though it was well
1 Al- - l.il ' 11 i ,

complished without a stiff fight
with the silver men on the floor of
the convention, for they intended
to contest every inch of ground,
and did not propose to be "bun
coed" off the floor as had been
done in the Oregon convention
Some silver men had been lulled
into silence and to the support of
the ring in Oregon by the asser
lions inai ine convention naa no
right to make platforms, which
was intended to deceive, as it is
now well known that it was intended
to adopt the financial platform of
1892. However, when it came to a
test the goldbugs saw that they
were treading on dangerous ground
and readily consented to the adop
tion of the resolution which ap
pears elsewhere. The Oregonian
says, in referring to the conven
tion, "silver waB ignored," but the
Sun, which is as good authority as
any papor in the Northwest, rank
ing higher in the estimation of the
masses than its contemporary, says
mt "the Bilver men gain the fight."
.'he Sun is right, for the adoption
of the resolution reported by the
committee on resolutions was a
part of the program of the silver
men.
It is estimated that the pur
chasing power of gold increases 12
per cent every three years. That
is a debt contracted in 1S92 re
quires measured in tnose
lings used to buy money, to pur
chase every dollar required. Thia
added to bonus and interest be
comes a burden that is almost im-
KiHsiblo to carry unless one owns
a gold mine.

CRIME IN GREAT BRITAIN.
It la Decreasing, Bat the Debtor last
Ara Larfely iDcreaalng-.
There are some encouraging features
in the report of the commissioners of
prisons in England and Wales which
has just been printed in London. The
statistics and diagrams which exhibit
the fluctuations of crime duriug a long
series of years demonstrate that "their
general course and tendency for many
years past has been in the direction of
diminution;" "thatthis diminution has
taken place particularly in those
classes of crime which are committed
by habitual criminals, viz: Offenses
against property with violence, forg
ery, and offenses against the currency,
and offenses against property without
violence (which comprise the great
bulk of crimes committed); also that
this diminution was concurrent in
point of time with the development of
various measures intended to bring it
about and that it occurred in spite of
the great increase in population, which
might have reasonably accounted for
an increase of crime." It is also
pointed out that the number of first
convictions has fallen gradually from
mo Q1A in 1 flfi'-l Ia Q1 lion in 1 Q' nrhitVi
shows that the criminal ranks are not
being filled up by fresh recruits. It is
further shown that the diminution in
the younger part of the prison popula
tion is four and five times as great as
in the older portion, which proves that
the younger part of the community is
not supplying criminals to take the
place of the older and more incorrigi
ble. It is also demonstrated that
there is no such coincidence between
the variations in the amount of crime
and in the amount of drunkenness as
to establish that connection between
the two which some temperance advo
cates too hastily assert. The com
missioners point out, however, that,
while crime has thus decreased and
the criminal population of the prisons
has diminished, the debtors have in
creased largely and continuously; the
number committed in 1878-'79 was6,-
964, and in 1892-'93 it had gradually
risen till it reached 10,031.
THREE VERY LUCKY CHILDREN.
How the Little Imperial Prlncea of Ger
many Pass Their Time.
Of the daily life of the three eldest
imperial princes the Berlin correspon
dent of the London News w ites: "The
princes, as is verj wneralh mown, are
very simply and strictly brought up.
Every day, suminer and inter, tbey
get up at 7 o clo.t ir. vud morning
and have breakfast at 7:45 o'clock, con
sisting of tea and rolls. The meal never
lasts longer than a quarter of an hour.
Punctually at 8 o'clock their lessons
begin. The crown prince, as well as
Princes Fritz and Adelbert, are each
taught separately, but for some hours
the crown prince and Prince Fritz are
taught together. The crown prince,
who is most zealous, arm takes all his
lessons in earnest, is much further ad
vanced than his two brotners. Tue
play hours during the morning are filled
up with gymnastics, games of ball, dig
ging, etc., in the playground, near the
right wing of tho new palace. At
9:45 they take luncheon sand
wiches, claret and natural mineral
water, which beverage is much drunk
at the imperial table. After lunch
they again have lessons for a short
time, and then take their riding
lessons, either In the riding school in
bad weather or in fine weather out of
doors. The crown prince, who is an
excellent rider, with a firm seat, has
lately begun to ride. II is white horse,
Abdul, which he received ou his birth
day from the emperor, la a handsome,
large Arabian, with a long tail and
thick mane, of faultless build, proud
bearing, and a most graceful step.

times take a ride in the neighborhood
of the new palace, accompanied by the
