W. J. Bryan in that imrt of hi
(IicIh iM'twi-eu The Ihillen and Kill

tic truth th.it the "dollar of a high
purchasing power are good only In
the hand of thoee who have got the

dent thnt oiuething like thit ha
Ix-eri heard before. Hon. T. T. Geer
having heard the tateinent from the

led to remark that Just what value i
to attet'h to a dollar of low purchas

ha not been explained.
The work done In the Houae lilil
Monday dhow where the olmtruc
tioniHt are. The tariff bill wa re
ported from the conference committee
when Congreanman Dingley explain
el the change made to the original
House hill. A aecond republittui
aummed up the argument made by
the oppoaition. Then the vote was
taken. But before this wa done, 10
democrat and one populists ttpoke
againat the bill. But the mind of
-ongreHinen were fixed and the final
vote Htood, aye 185 and Jiays 118.
Of the 185 aye, 180 were republican
and 5 democrat. Of the 118 nays
106 were democrat and 12 opulit.
The prompt action ahowa how valu
able I a good working majority of
republicans.
As heretofore atated the Clondyke
mining district 1 on the boundary
line between United State and Do
iniulon of Canada. The two nations
have not' heretofore been able to fix
the line and now that the gold field
have been found, the taak will be
more vexations than ever. The U.
8. Senate haa Instructed it foreign
relations committee to report at once
a treaty lor determining the Ixiun
dary line between Alaska and Can
ada. Some even go bo far a to aaaert
that complication will ari.se precip
itating hostilities. The good seuae
of the two nations will not however
allow ao sordid an element as gold
to precipitate war. The slicing on
to one or the other of the peoples a
atrip of fror.cn gold bearing gravel la
not an insult that requires a blood
cleansing.
The Cloundyke mines wa the'
topic in a street conversation thi
week betweeu sound money man
and aallverlte. Hound money called
attention to the report and asked if
he had heard of the strike. "No."
A paragraph wa read to htm. "Well
well, I should like to go there, but
it take so much money to get start
ed. I fear I could uot raise it."
"Why don't you go to the silver
mines of Montana? They are not so
far away and expen will not be so
great." "Oh. silver I not worth so
much as gold. Hold i better."
"Well it ha taken you an everlasting
long time to find that out. How
do you reconcile that with your
statements of a few minutes ago?"
"I admit that It does not Just fit in
but then tjiat was politic." "Yes,
free silver politics."
They held a commercial coure
out at Stlt Lake last week that was
composed ol delegate from Colorado,
I'tah, Idaho, Montana, Washington
ami On iron. Hon. T. T. Greer of
Marion county wa one represent
live. All who heard Greer lust fall
kuow him a a sound money man.
Well, till twit Lake congrts wss to
be nonpartisan but wa to consider
commercial questions as business
men, but the delegates with the pres
ident, W.J. Bryan, at their head
switched off on free silver coinage,
The convention went wild, and the
handful of sound money men were
not able to hold siWeritee to the ad
vertised purpose of the convention.
Greer tell of hi experience in thee
charicteristic words: "The vote wa
reached and when Oregon was railed
the writer of these lines announced
that he had never been a member of
a populist convention in hi ow n
state, and had not traveled 1000 miles
to cast a vote In one here, and was
proceeding to make another remark
when the convention howled him
down, and his excellency, the presi
ding efficer, sided in with the mob,
and the vote proceeded. Thi did
not at all make the Oregon delegate
popular with the majority ol the con
vention but contributed grea.ly to
his peace of mind and tranquility cf
conscience." 1
OtVP SEAL HERD.
When we got Aa-L iu ls7, our
cuttrruilig Uierc!i4UU looted into
ihevaiueof the country- toon the
Worth 01 rtMj acal iieid realiz!.
Our government saw the necessity
of protecting the seal to prevent ex
termination. A monopoly w.i giv
eu to a company with eriiiisrlou to
kill a restricted uuiuber at a certain
place remote from tbe breeding
ground. Thi care insured the in
dustry indefinitely. The profit ol
the fishery iuduced poaching and
F-ugiinh waling schooner patrolled
Uehriug ea, killing every seal that
poked his nose out of water for air.
These floating hunter found that
:hay could gather ijuite a fiisi
a the hunters at the r'sjkerii-s. Bui
they killed everything. Xoeiecilon
wa made. . Extermination whs only
a matter of a few years. A sour of
American wealth wa threatened.
Our government represented the
tact to the British government and
while the equity of the American
poriitioQ has I wen acknowledged
with the mouth, the spirit ha been
denied. U.ilUli cupidity use every
subterfuge to evade what they admit
i our ritfht. Trtey !ji! thstt ta: y
have no right to laud on our Islami
to take eal They admit that they
liaveuo riifht to fish within three
mile of our co tsls. They admit that
U kill the female seal during the
breeding season tetiils to exterminate
the herd. While tney do not go ou
our island-, or 11 li ui'lun llf thrtf
mile limit, they kill seals.
Thi disregard of our Just right
seem to eiteud not only to the fih
erment, but to the statesmen and
even to the scientists whom every
oue would siipjawe would seek
truth though the fact should be op
posed to the British contention.
After the term of Hie treaty of
I'ari had been put in operation, our
government noticed that our herd
wa uot fully protected at all. We
suHplcloned that seal went luriner
than three mile from la:id. Some
American sealer said they went Any.
To la? fair the Washington authority
piopoaed that a mixed commission!
of naturalists be appointed and char
ged with the duty of studying and
reporting upon the habit of seal life.
We wanted to know how far the
dams go from land when feeding and
if killed In ocean wh it becomes of
the pup It-ft on shore. Now comes
the strange story not to use a harsher
term. The American expert found
that the dam went far out to sea,
that they were killed and that their
pup perished by starvation ou the
breeding ground. Theexa.rt rec-
omended that the ocean sealer be
prohibited from killing the dams.
One would think that English natur
alist would find the same fact that
American found, but no, they evi
dently did not seek truth but ome
excuse for permitting Canadians
poaching to continue their questiona
ble occupation. The English experts
found that seal go far out to sea but
that there wa no way to prevent
sealer from killing female seal or
punish them after the seals were
killed, since all seal skius when suit
ed look alike except the skin of the
old bulls which are known by (he
caorse main. The English extierts
admit that the pup erish ou the
land but claim that sand storms over
whelm them and not famine. But
they lKise sight of the fact that
young seal lived through puppy
hood on those same islands thousand
of year ago and that sand storm
raged there as now. It really seems
a though they want no knowledge
of seal life if it i to interfere with
greed.
The English government exhibits
it selfish disregard of the" right of
others. Will anything but sharp
biting force, establish equity in this
matter?

wonderful record aud ia a working
experiment of what can be done in
time of war. We have five continen

The great international convention

and the south, from those w ho have
attended every gathering of the En

The welcome aiitirded the Endeavor-
cr was characterize)! by the priMligal
ity, the lavishnms and the large-
IrVartednmsof the Ciliforoiuu. Ev
erything wa done that ingenuity,
genuiue hospitality aud abundance of
mean could think of to render the
stay of the Endeavor army pleasant
and agreeable, trom the governor
of the state down to the street arab
consideration for the Emleavorer
was shown aud the deepest desire
manifested to leave upon their mind
an excellent impression; aud Ihey suc
ceeded. From "Father Endeavor"
Clarke down to the smallest little jun
ior that participated in the famous
Junior rally comes the word, "Good
bye, San Francisco. You have
treated u nobly, generously,
magnificently. May God bless jou
abundantly!"
Thi great gathering of about forty
thousaud of the follower of the con
quering Naaarene, In the city of the
Golden West I truly significant.
I. San Francisco stands primarily for
material proserity and development.
Since the magic period of '49 weasso
elate with the city by the golden gale
I'he idea of gold yellow, dull, fasci
nating, but earthly gold.a But here
this year 1 held an assembly that
points to a power far more potent
than gold love. It wa said on var
ious side ('this Is a revelation, this
open our eye." 1 lie fact wa forci
bly aud impresively brought out that
C hristianity means a p silive force
that afiit'ts life uow, making It sweet
er, whotetximer aud infinitely more
graciou. It wa a moral tonic to
confront a material view of life with
that conception of it which I ex
pressed in Dr. Chalmer's magnificent
words, "the expulsive power of a
new affection.''
II. The influence of the gathering
upon the d( nomiimtioualism ol the
country I bound to be deep. Thi
influence will be radically liberali
zing in it character. I
Here were represented at least forty
sect of Christians dwelling together
in peace aud harmony. It i prophetic
of better limes coining. Follower of
Christ are not going to be tragically
disturbed over the question whether
they are of John Calvin or of John
Wesley, whether the symbol of bap
tism ha been forty drop or a river
of water, or whether it is legitimate
according to the Christian law of life,
to have two or only one row of buttou
ou one' coat. Those and like ques
tion are in process of being relegated
to the consideration of dogmatic fos
silized, auil-deluvian, wornout fac
tor of civilization. The coming
army will l, aud is, profoundly in
lereled ill the inception of the Divine
into human life, rescuing It from all
forms of delwing s'ns, and placing
it upon a shining plain of righteous
ness and truth. Thi will not make
them less loyal to their lol church
and to their denomination, but more

of gold increase, silver will lie en

Mr. lXtniei Guggenheim declined
to give in full detuil the rousons
for hi faitli for higher value for
silver.
There are well-informed men who
look upon the reported discoveries a
exaggerated. One of these Is F. Hob

There are a great many Inquires
alKtut the Yukon river nowaday;
hut there is very little information to
bu tiblained in regard lo it. It is
clititned that the Yukon la the Hfth
river In piint of size la the United
States, being 2044 miles In length.
For its entire course through Amer
ican territory it Is navigable for
1-teniu bouts, hut as to how large boats
csiistfely navigate the liver, I ul
little is known. The first obstruc
tion to navigation is at O rand Canyon
ln(i6 miles from the mouth; hut it Is
understood that small steamers 01 n
betcol over these rapids. Lieutenant
Fred .Schwatka, the Artie explorer,
explored the Yukon in 1381, before
he resigned. Ttiere are not, as far as
can be learned, any charts of the
river or the entrance, or rathera
delta, though which are several
channel-, but noue navigable for
deep-sea vessels. .Some claim that
there is plenty of water inside for
veteu'ls of conxiderahle draught. If
the gold mines there last for any
length of time, there will he plenty
of information about the Yukon iu a
yenr or two. In the mean time, but
few have any thought of going to
Clondyke by water. It is a long

The. Japan foreign minister has
um learned the worth of the golden
virtue of silence. He asys: "The
foreign oIHch is not surprised at the
contemplated annexation. We sim
ply protested against it. The Ini
portauce of the islands will be im
mensely increa-ed by the construe
tion ot the Nicaragua' or Panama
canal, and it is absolutely necessary
therefore, to leave the country inde
pendent. Iu voyaging to the far
east steamers starting from Europe
or America must call at Hawaii. To
have them incorporated into the
union would seriously involve inter
national interests In the PhcIHc ocean.
Another reason is tliN: Annexation
would I in pa re the rights anil privi
leges which Japan is etjoyirg in
Hawaii. The protest was then-fore
entered on these grounds
Leaving aside the altitude of other
powers, the question is what will
Jagau do, if, under any circuniflan
ces, the annexation Is carried into
practice In spite of the prot. st of Jap
an. Japan must oppose it to the ut
most. Annexation mu.-t not be rec
ognized." New York, Jii.y 21. The exe

WIltT lAl'SKI) TIIE COAL STKlkE.
The coal miners' strike has brought
lo the public attention some interest
ing and important facts as to the
effect of the Wilson tariff law upon
this industry, and upon the miner,
themselves. The Wilson lawreducid
the rates of duty on coal from 73
per ton to 40 cents per ton. Tills Is
Just als.ut the amount ot reduction
in miners' wage, of which com
plaint is now being made and "em
phasized by the strike announced for
July 4th. President Hatch ford ol
the United Mine Workers' Associa
tion in a communication to the "New
York Ilerahl," indicates that the
wages of miners have been reduced
since 1893 an average of 30 oeuts r
ton, which is Just about the amount
of the rederrtion in duties made by
the Wilson law. Curiously this re
duction in wages is thus coincident
aa to time and amount with the re
duction in wages was a direct result
of the tariff is, however, accur
ately shown in auoth'T and
equally striking aeries of acts. Prior
to the enactment of the Wilson law,
the eastern cities and manufacturing
estithli-bment were supplied with
cm I largely from the Virginia and
west Virginia unties. As soon as
Wilntin law was enacted, however,
coal from ova Scotia invaded the
easteru market, driving out the
I Virginia and West Virginia product
j result was that their coal went west
instead of east as it formermly had
.done, and with reduced railroad
! rales was laid down in the markets
of Cincinnati, Chicago slid oilier
western cities at such low rates thai
acoalwar followed by a railroad
rate war, was precipitsted. The
natural result of this and the redue.
