Prevailing Frien R ¥ ns With Will Justify the Other Nation: Proposed Peneefab Plan, A naval board composed of Rear Admiral Walker, Chief Engineer David Smith and Lieut. Witzel has been constituted by the Secretary of the Navy for the purpose of considering plans for laying up in ordi- nary certain vessels of the navy, in ac- cordance with the suggestion made in Sec- retary Herbert's last annual report. The idea is for the reduction of the number of vessels in commission and the establish- ment of a system of reserve ships. Exist- ing friendly relations with the principal nations of the earth is believed to justify the serious consideration of the peaceful plan suggeste The Monitors as the Basis. The board will report on the best place or places for laying up ships, ct the ves- sels which, in its opinion, should first be sent to the reserve, and find the number of officers and men nezessary in each case to take proper care of them, The United States may be said to have had .the germ of such a system in the laying up of the thirteen single-turret_ monitors, some of which have from tume to time been brought out for use by the state naval militia. The James and the Delaware have been the rivers most used for this purpose. But these are vessels not relied upon for reg- ular use, and the project now contemplated is a different matter. In our navy, until recently, there were not ships enough for routine and station servic, so that there has been no need of a reserve. But now that new ships are coring forward in good numbers, some of them far larger than we used to build, it Is considered time to introduce the sys- tem. he two stations on the Atlantic coast most commonly spoken of for laying up ships are Brooklyn and League Island, and perhaps if one only is selected it may be the latter. But on this the board wiil report, and then a Pacific reserve station may be selected. It is evident that, after the present series of evolutions, the In- diana, for example, will be laid up, where- as the Massachusetts and the Oregon are yet to be more fully tested. The Columbia and Minneapolis were long ago well tried ce, and their station duty could now ne by smaller and less expensive ves- s. There are few monitors of the Mi- antonomoh class, and one of them is al- ready laid up, after much service, while the others can follow in turn. So it fs with other classes of ships. Other Considerations. Probably the present enlisted force of the navy would be sufficient to give an initial cruise to every vessel, even when the six battle ships now building or au- thorized, the nine new gunboats, and the many torpedo boats shall have been added to our present force, as wefl, as the Purl- tan and Brooklyn, which are ‘nearly ready. Yet this can only be done byresort to the reserve system. A modern ship of war is such a complicated structure) especially in its machinery, that only a thorough test will make known whether ft can be relied upon for actual service. When that point is determined there may pe no need of keeping it in commission.; #t should be said, however, that some Clearing up in our present international trouble is desir- able before the withdrawal of any ships to the reserve. . In European navies the reserve system is familiar, and indeed, is regarded as a necessity for reducing what-might other- wise be a most burdensome’ expense. Reduction of Customs Duty. There has again been a considerable re- duction in the customs duty on corn im- ported into Mexico, and, according to a re- Port to the State Department by United States Consul General Crittenden. at the City of Mexico, the rate of duty for August will be $1 per cargo of 300 pounds, which ts a reduction of forty cents per cargo. This reduction is made by the Mexican govern- ment on account of the bad outlook for the native corn crop, owing to the !ateness of the rainy season. It is estimated that, if the American railroads reduce frelghts, Mexico will take about 10,000 car loads of our corn. ——__---____ Sunk by the Etruria.

Correspondence of The Evening Star. LAUREL, August 9, 1896. A joint discussion of the gold and silver question took place at a meeting Saturday evening at Burtonsville, Montgomery coun- ty. The meeting was for the purpose of enlightening the farmers of that section on the money question. Quite a number of farmers turned out to hear the silver and gold speakers. The speakers were Mr. H. Maurice Talbott of Rockville, a prominent Montgomery county lawyer and a candi- date for the democratic nomination for Congress in the sixth district, who made a silver speech; Maj. James Albert Cle editor of the Laurel Free Quill and journal clerk of the house of delegates, who spoke for gold; Mr. J. H. Turner of Washington, business manager of Senator Stewart's pa- per, the Silver Knight, who made a silver speech, and Mr. J. Cookman Bod of Balti- more. republican elector-at-large for Presi- dent and Vicé President in Maryland, who spoke for gold. Mr. Talbott for Silver. The first speaker Introduced was Mr. Maurice Talbott of Rockville. He opened the debate for silver. His speech dealt more with generalities than with details. He said in part: “In some respects I do not agree with the democratic platform, but 1 have never yet seen the day that I could not stand upon a platform adopted by the majority of delegates in a democratic na- tional convention. They could never make a platform too narrow or too broad that I could not stand on. I am today standing on the pletform for free silver and every- thing else that is in it. In my opinton it is the only democratic platform the party has had for twenty-five years. The democrats who are kicking in the traces today are bondholders, bankers and the representa- tives of money interests. We have driven out of the democratic party the mugwump element, and are now welcoming with open arms the silver republicans to help secure a victory for the white metal. There is no mugwumptism in this fight. You are either a democrat, standing on the platform adopted at Chicago, or a republican, stand- ing on the gold platform of the St. Louis convention. Whether it Is better for the people to have a gold standard or a bime- tallic standard is the question w> meet here today to discuss. “Calling democrats popocrats, anarchists and cranks, because they believe in silver at 16 to 1, is not argument. If the mannfac- turer and moneyed interests of the north are on the one side, it is to the interest of the farmer and laboring classes to be on the other. I know, my frienas, the glamor that is around the magie word of gold. I know that for hundreds of years past that has been the representative of value.

It continued that way from the earliest recorded history down to 1816, when England demonetized silver. It was right for Engtand to demonetize silver, for it is the greatest creditor nation in the world.” Mr. Talbott also spoke of the great differ- ence between the medium of exchange and the standard of vatue, and gave several practical illustrations. He also talked of the effect the question of supply and de mand had upon money. “When a set of men,” he said, “‘contrel the medium of ex- change that exchange will be high. Every- thing that you will have to give for that medium of exchange will be low.

Clark Defends Gold. Maj. James Albert Clark, journal clerk of the house of delegates, and editor of the Laurel Free Quill, followed Mr. Talbott He spoke in behalf of gold. Major Clark said in part: “In the time of Julius Caesar the ratio of silver to gold was 7 to 1. When Columbus discovered America it was 10 silver to 1 gold. When our forefati tled in this country it was 1: gold. Up to 1873 it was 1§ silv In the commercial ratio today it is + silver to 1 gold. The fundamenial the free coinage advocates that the amount of money in circulation has bee: since the so-called demonetization cf is disproved by the fact th been an enormous increase—210 per cent as compared with 1860, and 106 per cent as compared with 1872, and this increase has been brought about by the iner, douse silver, which now floais in the United 3 to the tune of $500,000,000, Uncle is back of all this waite metal, for it is coined on the account of the govern- ment, and private owners of bullion are not allowed to have thelr metal coined for their own profit. By this limiting the coinage and backing all to the limit, the government mainiains the silver at par with gold, precisely as it maintains green- backs at par. If free and uniimited coinage should be granted while there is a differ- ence of forty-seven cents between the commercial ratio, which Is 312 to 1, and the coinage ratio now demanded at 16 to 1, the government would not be back of the total output, which would, as a matter of course, be measured by the word ‘un- Umited.’ “Private owners of bullion would coin for their own profit by right of law. The agricultural interests could not pros- per under free coinage if the laboring and salaried classes were smitten. The lesson of idle men today is proof sutfi . There would be no talk of overproduction if the unemployed were busy, and ‘blowing in’ their weekly wages for something to eat and wear. As prices of what the laborer has tu buy rise faster than the price of his labor, he is the man who fs always first cheated by a depreciated dollar, and when he suffers the farmer feels It. “There might be a brief period of intox!- cation for the farmer who was heavily mortgaged, and who knew how to grab on schedule time the amount of depreciated dollars to wipe off the mortgage, but when the schedule time arrived it might hap- pen, as it has too often in history, that cheap dollars were not easy to get when all men were cheap, when even statesman- ship was very cheap. Wheat and cotton do not regulate the price of silver; if they did silver ought to be creeping up a bit, for since 1895 these two great American products have advanced. It was eight years after the ‘alleged crime’ of 1873 that the territory of Dakota began to sow wheat for the marke*. Six years later, in 1887, she threw 62,500,000 bushels on the mar- ket. There ts more in that episode than in all of the free silver argument for those years put together. The extension of trenspcrtation lines by land and sea since 1878 has opened up Roumania, Bulgaria Egypt, India, Argentine Republic, Par: guay and Uruguay, and other competing wheit fields. Coin’s labored studies to make wheat the effect of silver or the re- verse. will not stand the test of investi- gation, which nearly one hundred days yet before the election will give to sincere people. The fact that all of the civilized nations of the world are on the gold stand- ard proves either that they must have all gcne crazy, if the populist arguments are sound, or else it proves that these nations ere wearied with fooling with commercial ratios that are getting farther apart with time, and the consequent increased pro- duction of silver even as a by-product at lead mines. Bullion brokers and mine own- ers would get a large profit by adopting this scheme of free and unlimited coinage, but the farmers would see worse days than they have yet dreamed of. C»mmon honesty and national honor are at «take in this campaign. Our credit can te saved by going slow; gold productio: is in- creasing wonderfully; international agree- ment is hoped for, and trade relations will ite change to the benefit of the United tes.” ‘The Manager of the Silver Knight. Mr. Clark was followed by Mr. J. H. ‘ | people attending the iast sad rites. Rev. Mr. Turner of Washington, business manager of the Silver Knight, Senator Wm. M. Stew- art’s silver paper. He said: “I do not dis- cuss this question from a political stand- point; this question has gotten beyond pol- itigs. The people have gotten it into their heads to get control of this government. England demonetized silver in 1N16 because the Jews, the Rothschild family, and the Tronopolies had gotten the world in debt to her. She does not raise enough corn or wheat for her people; she has been forag- ing on the world. England has always been a nation of foragers. They have gone out and absorbed the money of the world. She owns three-fifths of our railroad stock, she owns our bank stock and she owns our breweries. She wants her dividends in the dearest money she can get. She wanted the gold standard so that she could absorb the wealth of the world as you men produce it. It was to get her dividends and interest in the dearest money that she demonetized silver in 1816. Let us open our mints to the free coinage of silver and our dollar will be worth as much in Europe as it is here. The people of the country are ciamoring today for an increase oi prices.” Mr. Boyd Cloxes the Debate. Mr. J. Cookman Boyd of Baltimore, one of the republican electors-at-large for ident and Vice President in Maryland, foi- lowed Mr. Turner in an able and convi ing argument for gold. He « on Mr, Turner by saying that in 1816, when England demonetized silver, she owned no railroad stock, no bank stock and no brew- eries in this countr: denied that the crime of ‘73, so-called, was done steaith- ily and without the knowledge of the pec ple.

The coroner's jury at Upper Marlboro’, Md., brought in a verdict Saturday even- ing charging Mordecai Plummer with the death of Dr. Wiliam W. Waring. When the jury bled Sheriff Underwood said that Plummer had admitted to him that he did the cutting. Mr. Richard E. Brandt, counsel for Plummer, made a sim- ilar admission, and added that the cutting was done under circumstances that would have led any other man to act in the same way. Plomaner was committed to jail by Cor- oner Harris for the October term of court. At once his counsel filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, returnable tomorrow morning. Plummer ‘vas taken to jafl by Coroner Sweency and given a room on the first floor. He was accon:panied by his eldest son, who requested that he be allowed to remain with his father during the night.

The civil service requires a rate of six five words per minute, ™ order to secu @ percentage of 100, but let us not be so strict with our candidate, but say that he or she must only write at the rate of fifty words a minute, which is not at all an urusual speed. Allowing one hour for luncheon gives us seven working hours, or time to write twenty-one thousand words, which, at current rates, 60 cents per thor. sand, will amount to $12.40 worth of work in a day, or in a week of six days, $75.6). Think of it! And ali for the paltry stipend of “$6 per week.” There is sometimes reason to be sus- picious of the man who does not furnish a typewriting machine for the accomp!l' ment of his work. I know of severa instances where clerks have been required to furnish machines, and in the end they have received nothing for either their serv- ices or the instrument. ANNA M. LAISE.
