A. AGAINST FREE SILVER Secretary Hoke Smith’s Sound Money Speech. : EXHAUSTIVE STUDY OF THE SUBJECT He Predicts Multiplied Disaster to Flow From Free Coinage. EARNEST AND THOROUGH GAINESVILLE, Ga., July 23.—Secretary Hoke Smith of the Interior Department delivered here today the first of a series of three addresses in Georgia or the financial issues. He had a large and attentive audi- ence. It was a beautiful day, and the peo- Ple came pouring into town early in the morning, and by noon the place was thronged. The meeting resembles the old- fashioned gatherings of ante-bellum times. The audience was enthusiastic, and repeat- edly cheered the speaker. Secretary Smith’s Speech. Secretary Smith safd in substance: “I am here in response to your invitation to discuss the financial problem. I shall sup- Port the national democratic platform and oppose the nationad platform of the popu- lists. At Chicago in 1892 the democratic arty, by its representatives for the entire Inion, voted down overwhelmingly the proposition of a delegate from Colorado to Insert in the platform the word ‘free'— which would have made the platform de- clare for the free coinage of silver. The Platform adopted, when honestly construed, condemned the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, and the d@legates, on the first ballot, nominated, by a two-thirds vote, as the Standard-bearer of the ‘party one who, in 1885, by message to Congress, had opposed both the free coinage of silver and the Bland-Allison act, and who, later—on Feb- Tuary 10, 1891—as a private citizen in a public letter declared the ‘experiment of free, unlimited and independent coinage of silver’ to be ‘dangerous and reckless.’ This nomination emphasized the repudiation by the convention of the free coinage of silver. A Slap at Morgan. “T shall also show that this action of the democratic party is in perfect accord with the teachings of Jefferson and Jackson, but ‘I am unwilling to waste time following the wordy harangue recently delivered in our State by that patriot who served his coun- try abroad with such distinguished suc- cess as the appointee of President Harri- Son in the protection of fur seals. “We have been through a panic. Times have improved. Without stopping to ac- count for the panic it should be borne in mind that panics have occurred about every twenty years, usually accompan'ed with distrust of the kind of money used. Every panic “has developed a party in favor of bad money, but with returning Prosperity the party has died. Relief from panics has always come through restora- tion of confidence, not through bad money. Back to First Principles. Continuing, the Secretary said in part: “Money Is a device to facilitate the ex- change of commodities. Property {s ex- changed for money that the money may be exchanged for some other property. Its use is to erable 2 man having property who does not desire to keep it to obtain some other property which he wishes to procure. The more universally recognized, therefore, the value of the money and the less bulky it is to handle, the more com- Fletely will it facilitate exchange. Shelis, skins, tobacco, have been used as money. It was the ectual value recognized in the eemmunity and their value at those points where the people of the community traded that made them serviceable. Gold and sil- ver are better than shells, skins and to- bacco on eccount of their more universally recognized value and on account of the fact that they are easle> to handle.” The Secretary showed that it was not the stamp of the government, but the value of the thing itself which fixed its exchange- able quality. Confederate money had the stamp of a gcvernment upon it, but the fact that the government did not have the ability to redeem the bills in something of actual value destroyed 1 exchangeable quality. The gold coins, however, of the confeleracy are perfectly good still, al- though the government has ceased. “Paper money ts good when the govern- ment is able, on presentation, to carry out ‘its promises to redeem it in something of actual value equal to its face. The stamp of a government on a coin is good if the stamp tells the truth aout the value of the bullion coined. Why He 1a Opposed. “History teaches that a bad-money scheme shcuid be expected now. It comes In the form of a proposition for the free, unlimited enc independent coinage of sil- ver at 16 to 1. Coinage at 16 to 1 means sixteen times as much silver as gold in a dollar—25.8 grains of standard gold, 412% graini of standard ellver. Free coinage means without charge to the bullion holder, het at the expense of the taxpayer; unlim- {ted means to ccin all that Is offered; inde- pendent means without reference to the course of other nations. In the language of Ben Hill, ‘I oppose this proposed legisla- tior because I favor all of the professed objects and cppose all of Its real effects.” “The free silver advocates claim, first,that the act of 1873 was surreptitiously passed and robb3d the people of one-half the money of final payment, second, that for this reason there is not sufficient money of final payment, and the ay precietion of gold hes depreciated everything else. Upon these two propositions their entire argu- ments are based. ‘The secretary met these propositions by claiming: First, that the alleged contrac- tion of money of final payment had not taken place; second, that the proposed remedy would in reality drive one-half the money now in use cut of circulation and preduce a contraction ruinous in its results, Law of 1873 Immaterial. He said it was immaterial, so far as the proposed legislation was concerned, how tha act of IST was passed. It would be fol- ly to bring on disastrous consequences for th® simple satisfaction of repealing a law improperly passed. The act of 1 he claimed, did not remove one-half the money of final payment. In 1873 the only silver coin in the United States consisted of subsidiary silver amounting to $17,000,000, which was not good for the payment of debts in amounts beyond $5. The coined gold in the United States then amounted to only $135,000.000, The coined gold in the United States now amounts to $678,569,000, while the standard silver dollars amount to 289,000, and the subsidiary silver to 00, S total gold and sflver, therefore, in 1873 was $152,000,000, while gold and sliver 38,000,000—eight times us much The paper money, including bank notes, in 1873 was about equal to the amount now fn use. The per capita of clr- culation in 1873 was between $18 and $19. Castoria For Infants and Children. CASTGRIA DESTROYS WORMS. CASTORIA CURES CONSTIPATION. CASTORIA ALLAYS FEVERISHNESS. CASTORIA CURES DIARRHOBA AND COLIC. CASTORIA RELIEVES TEETHING TROUBLES. CASTORIA PREVENTS VOMITING SOUR CURD. “The nse of ‘Custofia’ fs so universal and its merits so well known that {t seems a work of supererogation to indorse it. Few are the intelli- gent familles who do not keep Castoria within easy reach.” CARLOS MARTYN, D. if New York The per capita now is between $23 and $24, “We were unable to keep the value of silver up to gold under the free coinage act of 1792. We were unable to keep gold up to silver under the free coinage act of 1834. France and her associates in the Latin urion found themselves unable to keep silver up to gold in 1874. The failure of these practical tests, under far more favor- able circumstances than those of the pres- ent, demonstrated how ridiculous is the claim of the silver advocates. “These facts, fairly considered, one by one, will bring the conclusion that free coinage at 16 to 1 means the use of no coin but silver; means a new standard of meas- ure equal in value to the present com- mercial value of the bullion now put into a silver dollar; means a new dollar worth only approximately half as much as the present dollar, and the measure of all values by this new standard. . What Would Happen. “The immediate effect of the election of a President committed to such’ a policy would ba the separation of the gold and silver dollar, the gold dollar going to a Premium of about two for one. We would lose at once $678,000,000 of gold now in cir- culaticn and in the treasury. The green- backs and the treasury notes, $375,000,000, which would still remain outstanding,would be hoarded in the hope that a free silver bill, if passed at all, would soon be re- Pealed. This would take place immediately after the election of a President in No- vember, 1896, and probably even after the nomination by elther of the great parties of a free silver candidate. The new Presi- dent could not be inaugurated until March 4, 1897, During the six months or more before it would be possible to pass free silver legislation the contracting of the currency just described would precipitate the most serious consequences. Those owning gold obligations would put a strain upon the remaining silver currency and bank notes, to buy gold to meet their gold obligations. The currency, consisting of checks and bills of exchange, amount- Ing to 95 per cent of our entire currency, would go out of use In consequence of loss of confidence and credit, and the result would be the withdrawal of 9744 per cent of cur entire currency and the paralysis of business would immediately follo Banks would be raided by their depositors. Pantie Conditions. “Creditors would seek to enforce their debts before the reduction of the standard to the silver basis. No extension of debts would be given to anybody, except where made payable in gold at increased rates of interest. Long-time debts are in gold. The amount to be paid on them would not be reduced. Indebtedness not payable in gold would -be collected at once or the Property owned by debtors taken from them. |" Merchants would fail, manufac- tories close, workmen be idle,’ farm pro- ducts without a market, and poverty and distress be found on all sides. “I do not believe that a President would ever apprcve such legislation, if elected upon a platform with a Congress pledged to pats it. The calamitous effects follow- ing such an eleciicn would bring to them the prayers of the very men who elected them, appealing for the defeat of such legislation. But if such a law should pass it would not be until the latter part of 1897. Then a general adjustment to the new standard would be necessary. Prices being temporarily reduced on account of the panic it would be some months before the actual effect could be told and the real value of 412%, grains of silver deter- mined. During ‘this time business would stagnate on account of the uncertainty as to what was the real size of the new measure—the new standard of value. This trouble would more or less affect business Ppermarentiy because the commercial value of silver bullion has become uncertain, has ceased to be stationary, on account of the few countries now using it as standard money, and cn account of the uncertainty as to the volume of its probable produc- tion. . As Bad as a High Tarift. “No practical behefits can be pointed out as a consequence of the legislation. It would interfere with our exchanges in for- eign trade, and prove a burden upon the producers of our great staples, cotton, corn and other grain. By hindering internation- al commerce {it would burden the agricul- tural products ef this country like a high protective tariff. Not only would the men who work for salaries be deprived, at least for a while, of employment, but when en- abled to return to work they would find the dollar paid them as wages depreciated in value as a consequence of a change of standard. The orly possible benefit would be from a limited increase in the value of silver bullion, which would go into the peckets of the great silver mine owners— the men who really are backing all this agitation and furnishing to it its sinews of war.” In concluding, Mr. Smith said: “The pic- ture is not overdrawn. When I contem- plate it there is but one source of comfort; it is an abiding confidence that with twelve months of full, free discussion the Amer- ican people can be relied upon to over- whelmingly defeat any party which pro- poses to bring such disasters upon us. “It is a source of gratification to demo- erats to know the troubles of 1893 were brought upon the country by the unwise legislation of the previous administration. Yeur representatives at Washington were confronted with many difficulties. No civtl crisis has been more serious. Let the re- turn of prosperity; let the daily news that factories are again at work, and that one million wage earners have had their wages increased; let the rise in value of farm products, tell how they have succeeded. The McKinley bill has been repealed; the eredit of the government has been pre- served; money has been kept sound; and we will go to the country in 1896 with the democratic party fighting further high tar- iff legislation, epposing bad money and assured of success. —— BUILDING STABLES. Mr. Otto Ruppert Has One He Cannot Use. The Commissioners had up before them again this morning the old question of the beilding 2nd occupancy of a stable within the twenty-foot limit of a private resi- dence. Mr. Charles W. Darr appeared as representing Mr. Qtto Ruppert, who has recently erected a store and dwelling on 12th street adjoining the northwest corner h and © streets. On a fifteen-foot in the rear he has built a vrivate stable. The building regulations forbid the erection of a bie without the ccnsent of the owners of the property within the prescribed limit. In the present case it seems that the contractor for Mr. Ruppert failed to take out a permit for the stable, although Mr. Ruppert claims that the un- derstanding was that thegcontractor was to look after the matter of securing all necessary permits and also the written per- mission of the owners of the adjoining property. Recently Mr. Ruppert was fined in the Police Court for putting up the building without a perm{t and also for erecting a stable within the twenty-foot limit. At the hearing this morning it developed that Mr. Ruppert has succeeded in get- ting the permission from two of his neigh- bers, but failed with the woman who owns the corner property. She herself has a stable in the rear, connecting with her own house and within twenty feet of Mr. Rup- pert’s house, but it was built. before the present regulation went into effect. She has let the property to a Mr. Gaskins, who is willing that Ruppert should use his sta- ble, and Mr. Darr contended that the own- er refused her consent as a matter of spite, as Ruppert formerly rented her cor- ner and moved out as a result of somo misunderstanding, such as sometimes arises between landlord and tenant. As her sta- ble is occupied, he claimed that she was hardly acting in good faith in withholi- ing her consent to another. Commissioner Ross was rather in favor of giving Mr. Ruppert the required per- mission, as he thought the case worked a certain amount of hardship. He cited the case of permits for steam engines, where the permission of other owners of engines in the neighborhood is not necessary on the theory that the danger is not increas- ed. But the Commissioners had no choice in the matter. They decided that they could not make exceptions, and must en- force the regulation as it is, so that the chances are that Mr. Ruppert will not be allowed to use his new stable after all. —.__ Edison Will Not Appeal. The American Graphophone Company has just been informed, through its general patent counsel, Messrs, Pollok & Mauro, that Edison will not appeal from the de- cision of Judge Acheson in the United States circuit court for New Jersey, deny- ing Edison’s claim of license to use the graphophone patents on his phonograph. - ——._—_—_. The Oregon supreme court has affirmed the sale of the Oregon Pacific road at pub- lic auction to Mr. W. B. Hammond of Mis- soula, Mont., for $100,000 to satisfy cred- itors.” The road cost $11,000,000, fabled him to render important service.

In anticipation of the coming of August, a bulletin has just been issued by Mr. S. W. Beall, the official observer. of the weather at Washington, giving some interesting in- formation concerning the records for that month. They cover a period of twenty- four years, and show that the mean or normal temperature is 74 degrees. The warmest month was in 1872, which had an average of 7) degrees, and.'thé coldest was the August of 74, with a normal of 72. The highest August temperature on record Mrs. Farrall proved as much of an at- traction here as she did at the county court at La Plata, for scores of men were in attendance upon court this morning, all anxious to get a glimpse of the woman who has attracted so much attention. Many of them reached the Police Court building early in the morning and occupied front seats, being anxious to hear every word ae uttered as well as to be able to see er. Mrs. Farrell was escorted to the court by Policeman Andrews. She was not under arrest, for she had deposited $20 collateral for her appearance. to go to court unattended, and that was why she had the policeman’s escort. Then, too, it was thought that Bugene is that of 101 on the 13th in 1881, and the lowest was 49 degrees on the 24th in 1890. ‘The average rainfall for the month Is 4.44 inches, and on an average there are twelve days with a fall of one-hundredth of an inch or more. The atest precipitation was 12.93 inches in 1875, and the legst was 0.85 inches in 1892. The greatest amount of Precipitation recorded in any twenty-four consecutive hours was 2.84 inches August 29, 1815. The averages show that ten Au- gust days are clear, thirteen are partly cloudy and eight are cloudy. The winds Prevail generally from the south.

One of the Best Known _Citizens of the District Passes Away. Join G. Judd died this morning at his residence, 2808 14th street.. Up.to within a short time of his death Me was conscious and knew those about his bedside. He had been a sufferer from dtabetes for about two years, and during the past few months, although he’ came down to business as often as possible, he was quite feeble. Those who saw him marked ‘the change which had taken place, and to his large cirele of friends and acquaintances the news of his death will not come with the shock of a sudden surprise. Mr. Judd was one of the well-known and active business men of the city. He had been a resident of this city for more than forty years, and during the greater por- tion of that time he had been in active iness and was the senior partner in the 1-known printing and publishing firm of Judd & Detwetler. Mr. Judd was born in London, England, in the year 1824 and received his education in that city. When a few years past his majority he came to America, going first to London, Canada, and then to Toronto, where he was engaged in publishing a newspaper. He came to this city in the and held positions as proof read- foreman in several of the large establishments here. — Twenty- rs ago he formed a partnership M. Detweiler and opened a print- ing office on 7th street, just south of D street, on the second floor of the building now occupied by the Bon Marche: After a few years the firm retnoved to the second floor of the building at the northeast corner of 11th and Pennsylvania avenue, now occupied by Mr. Prince, and later erected the large building on 11th street, just north of The Star office, where the business is still carried on, While Mr. Judd never held any public positions, he took an active interest in public affairs and generally attended the meetings of citizens, where his ability as a public speaker en- Mr. Detweiler, the partner of Mr. Judd, in speaking of his old partner today, said that in the twenty-eight years of’ their partnership they had never had a quarrel or a serious disagreement. Mr, Judd was regarded as unusually expert as a printer and frequently astonished his féllow crafts- men by the rapidity an@ accuracy of his calculations in estimating upom work. He was highly regarded by all the employes of the firm, to whom he alyays showed much consideration.

While it Is gratify- ing to know that the man was released the next day, the fact remains that he can ob- tain no redress for heing locked up in a cell over night and compelled to undergo the “sweating process” the next morning before being tried. What redress, I ask, have persons who, arrested on a groundless charge end too poor to deposit collateral, are compelled to spend a night in a station house cell,and thea be crammed into one of the sweat boxes adjoining the Police Court before being tried? Their final release is no compensation for their previous suffer- ings. Will some one wiser than myself kindly rise and explain? W. E, CLENDANIEL. names or initials of Mrs. Farrall and Hall were engrgved. INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. “Here's the watch,” Mrs, Farrail told the — brakeman, “but the ring I threw in the FE) g a 5 river in New York.” She was in the coroner's jury passed upon the case and the time she surrendered in court, and it is thought that the ring was probably thrown in the river for fear it would be the means of identifying her in event of her arrest. “Do you say I stole your ring?” asked the woman, But Hall had no answer except to say BUSINESS CHANCES. c ITEMS.

Beads of perspiration streamed down his face, and they were not entirely the result of natural causes, There had been so many persons gazing at Mrs. Farrall that she had gone in the marshal’s office, where she would not be on public exaibition, and so Hall did not see her when he put in an appearance. Policeman Flynn had been unable to per- form his duty about the court all the morning, because he had to answer fully five hundred times the question: “Is Mrs. Farrell here?” One of the first persons with whom Hall came In contact was a Star reporter, but he said he would hold back what he had to say until he went on the stand. “Then,” he said, “I'll make my speech." “Was the ring set with diamonds?” the reporter ask2d. “I don’t propose to say anything about it until I get in court,” was his answer. “Bui,” suggested the reporter, “the war- rant charges a diamond ring,” “No, it don’t," was the quick rejoinder of the man from Prince George's. “If Mrs. Farrall will come face to face with me," he said, “I'll talk business; and if she will-come up te my figures it will be all right.” Mrs Farrall's Side. Mrs, Farrall, speaking of the case, said that she came here on the afternoon train to get some clothing for the children, and before she had been in the city two hours she was arrested.

A number of the officials of the Metro- politan Railroad Company, including Prest- dent Phillips, Directors Wilson, Weaver, Cammack, Spence and Grunwell, Secretary Coleman,Superintendent Lowery «nd others and a score cr so of invited guests, assem- bled at the power house of the 9th street branch of the road,at the foot of 411% street, last night, to witness a test of the new electrical equtpment of the road; which was to have been in the nature of a trip in one of the new cars out to the Bound- ary and return. The car left the power house in trail of motor car 201 at 1 o'clock, went down around the loop to Water street, and up the latter thorough- fare to the junction of Water street, 7th street and L street, and along the latter to 4%% street again. When the junction at 4% and L streets was reached the train, which had bean running smoothly, came to a sud- den stop. The passengers, who were well shaken up, jumped off, to find that the switch at the junction had not been prop- erly turned in the right direction, causing the car to run on the tracks in a straight line while the plow rod,which goes through the slot, went in a different direction. There was a badly twisted rod as a result and a shattering of a couple of insulators. After working some time the workmen succeeded In removing the twisted rod and repairing the slight damage that had been done to the insulators immediately at the point of the accident, and in less than an hour the equipment was again ready to be tested. It was discovered, however, that the other motor cars in the power house did not have their plow rods aftixed, and consequently it was decided to postpone the ride over the road until midnight to- night. Electrician Julian Smith was in charge of the motor car last night, and there were a number of experts among the passengers, all of whom declared that there was no doubt of the successful opera- tion of the new system, and that the only thing that prevented substantial proof of this last night was the unfortunate’ acci- dent at the switch. —.__ Ask a Divorce. A divorce from Ida R. Ashton was today asked by George D. Ashton. They were married here October 24, 1887, the defend- ant then being the widow Hoffman. They lived together until April 2, 1892, when, the complainant charges, his wife willfully deserted and abandoned him. A petition for divorce was also filed today by Richard H. Henderson, who prays for al divorce from Annie Henderson. They were remarried here June 10, 1893, and October 7, 1892, he says, his wife willfully deserted and abandoned him. The complainant charges, too, that his wife has been guilty of adultery with Wm. H. Bowman, her, and Rad sent her a letter. She refused to e hin, and returned the written mes- ge. So far as the ring fs concerned, she 's that the piece of jewelry figured in a trade, in which the watch also. figured The watch she returned, but the ring she threw in the river, as already stated. When the time for investigating the case in the prosecuting attorney's office arrived Hall was called in and questioned. But ne sull maintained that defiant and mys- terious air, as if the eyes of the public were upon him and not upon Mrs. Farrall, He declined to answer questions asked him or explain the facts in the case, and it re- quired but a few minutes for Mr. Mullowny te excuse him from the office and nolle pros. the paper on which the countryman had squandered 50 cents. "Phis action on part of the prosecuting at- torney ended the matter, so far as the court was concerned. The $20 collateral was returned, and the attractive Charles county widow departed. She went away with an officer, and Hall followed down the street as if he wanted to overtake her. Mrs. Farrall was not particularly well satisfied with the ending of the case, aa she wanted the court to hear the facts, after the charge had been brought, and give her the benefit of a dismissal, Instead of a nolle pros. ——— The Great Falls Electric Railway. The difficulty in obtaining rights of way for this line having been surmounted, Messrs. Langhorne, Allen & Co., contract- ors for the grading of the roadbed for the Washington and Great Falls electric: rail- way, have already done considerable work. Men are working in gangs at various points between the Foxhall road and the District line, surveying and constructing the road- bed, cutting through elevations and filling in_the cuts. Stables and shops have been erected, ready for the work of track construction, and bridge materials are being hauled upon the premises. The company are confident that cars will be running by the end of Au- gust. The route will be from the new Union station, Georgetown, via Prospect avenue to the Potomac, and thence along the high bluffs to its terminus. ——.__. Marriage Licenses.

She wanted nothing further to do with the rail- During the past few days Mrs. Farrall Pope’s Creek railroad, between Marlboro’ and La Plata.

The police will in all probability declare war on the owners of dogs who allow their canines to run at large. There is a section of the police regulations which makes this an offense, although the section has been @ dead letter ever since It was made law, This particular section has no reference to licensed*dogs, and it matters not whether or not there is a tag on the dog. A penalty, is provided for allowing the dog to run at large. In the Police Coust today there wap a case brovght under this section, the des fendant being a colored weman named Care rle Brooks. Ccmplaint had been made about her dog running in the public parks, and she failed to keep the animal at home after recelving the warning. | in the discussion of the cave Suld te thought. the law cught to be enforced, especially in hot weather. He spoke of the dangers attending children on the streets when a ratid dog is at large, and said he thought for the protection of the ittle cnes the dogs should not be al- lowed on the streets. A fine of $5 was im- posed. —_—._—_- Asked Her Release.
