10 THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 189(-TWELVE PAGES. RAILROAD EMPLOYES President Ingalls Says They Shall Vote Ac- cording to Their Consciences. He Discussses the Free Coinage Prop- fon at Length—Probable Effect of His Letter. Special Cortespendence of ‘The Evening Star. NORFOLK, Va., September 13, 1998. It will be remembered that soon after Bryan was nominated for the presid2acy President Ingalls of the Chesapeake and Ohfo Railroad Company, which employs at least 20,000 men, and a large proportion of whom live and vote in Virginia, stated that if the democratic candidate was elected, the Chesapeake and Ohio would discharge a number of its employes, stop the big ‘m- Provements the company is making at Richmond, which, it is stated will, when compleied, represent an outlay of about $2,- 000,000, and would also economize in other directions. In many quarters, especially among the employes of the Chesapeake and Ohio, the statement of Mr. Ingalls was regarded as a threat that the men must vote for McKin- ley, and its effect seemed Ikely to reach such large proportions that the democratic managers in the state tock steps to coun- teract it. thr to use their influence to have a ¥ passed at the next session of the Vir- legistature providing for the creation of a state railroad commission, to the ex- istence of which, it is stated, every railway Sergaration in the state Is strenuously op- posed. The immediate effect of President tmgalls’ statement was to set the men employed on all the railways of Virginia to thinking, and the indications now are that at least ninety per cent of this class of voters will ¢ast thelr ballots for McKinley in Novem- er. No one will attempt to deny that by far the greater number of railway men in Vir- infa are democrats, and in voting for Mc- Kinley they will do so simply because they Lelieve the success of Bryan would militate against the best interests of the country at large. Will Not Discharge the Men. In order that the-e might be no misunder- standing oa the subject, a letter was sent to Mr. Ingalls asking him whether if one of the employes of the Chesapeake and Ohio voted for Bryan he would be discharged. Mr. ingalls sent a reply, as follows: “If any employe of the Chesapeake and Ohio Ralil- Way Company feels, after studying this question, that his conscience will not allow him to vote against Bryan, and if he feels that the free and unlimited coinage of sil- ver will be a blessing to the country, he should follow the dictates of his conscience, and if any officer of the Chesapeake and Ohio discharges an employe for so doing I will discharge bim.

Let us find out, who out creditors are who are going to receive 5 on the dollar. We paid out in the interest on our securities to the Dloated bondholders $5,000,000 of the $10,000,000. We borrowed the money from that bondholder, and we got it in good ts honest money. We got it In the money that has been the standard of this country ever since ISM. He gave us good hard dollars for it, and yet you say you are go- ing to coin cent dollars and we must ing to coin 5%-cent dollars and we must doesn’t look to me quite honest, but that is where several millions will have to go. Last year we pald out about $2,000,000 to our road for supplies, and 0,000 went to our laborers railroad. Now who Is the bloated going to wrong and ent dollar? it not the men who run our trains and keep up our track and do our werk, and who is to pay them back? If the free on the bondholder we are cheat by that 55 coinage of silver does what these people want it raises the price of hing.

It is the h et. been a Struggle for the last 500 years among the laboring men to get their rate of p: dvanced but by this gigantic conspiracy, with one stroke of the pen, you cut their wages in two, and how many Years will it take to get them back? Take the man who digs coal out of the earth. He tolis down in the darkness for his pal- try dollar and a half. Today it is as good as gold. You pay him in your depreciated money, and he has to pay more for hi: house ‘rent and more for his clothes ani bread and meat. Who makes it up to him? How long will {t take him to get his wages raised? Teke the poor sewing woman who toils nigh. and day for her paltry wages to get a bare subs ence and takes her gar- ments down to the store and receives her pay in 38-cent dollars. Who is to keep the wolf from her door and furnish bread and meat and clothing for her and her Uttle family when you have depreciated your standard? “This whole scheme is an attempt to get Into power by appealing to the ignorance and dishonesty of the country. Now, 1 might fear for it if I had not the mast im- plicit faith tn the integrity and intelligence of the American people. In every school district In this land, at every cross road, in every church, on every doorstep, this question is going to be discussed, and 1 ve the most sublime faith that the Amer- n peuple will never agree to debase their currency and turn back in the tide of civ- titzation. Free Silver and Good Times. “The whole scheme and argument of some of the so-called democrats or ponu- Msts is that we are having hard times, and if we will establish the free coinage of sil- ver we will have good times. “There has not been a day for the last three years that the air has not been full The latter even went so far as to |- ' of stories that we are going to establish the free coinage of silver, and the result has been that foreign capital was fright- ened; it did not come to us. Why have we been short? Because, Senators, populists, have held up the nation and said you shall not have any legislation unless you give us the free coinage of silver. Why should we not have had bad times under these circumstances? And let me say that, in my humble judgment, we will have bad times until the people of this country settle once for all that the credit of this govern- ment shall remain untarnished and be as good as gold. “This fs an attempt to let the nation live with its honor destroyed. And what is a nation without honor, to live with the finger of scorn pointed at us, as the great nation prosperous, with 70,000,000 of peo- ple that deliberately debased its coinage and repudiated its debts? Are railroad men ready to uphold a party that leads to that? There are higher calls than partics, and in my judgment they will be answered on the 2d of November, and as in the days of the past, the American freemen will be true to their country. “But I want each employe of the C. and O. to understand that it is his duty to study this question for himself. Let him get every scrap bearing on the subject that he can, and read every line. He ought to read both sides and discuss it with every one who can enlighten him. Then let him go home, look at his wife and children, test his conscience, and if he finds that he can not vote for McKinley he ought to vote for Bryan. The Right to Vote. “The right to vote according to the dic- tates of one’s conscience is, I again assert, an inalienable one, and no one under my control shall interfere with an employe of the Chesapeake and Olio for exercising his right to vote for Bryan, ard if the man is dischargea for doing so I will discharge the man who did so and re:ns.ate the man who Was put out of his position.” —____ MILITARY BICYCLE CORPS. Story of Its Crossing the Mountains in Montana, The bicycle was thoroughly tested for military purposes in a recent trip over the Rocky mountains. The bicycle corps, un- Ger Lieut. Moss, started from Fort Mis- soula, Montana, on the morning of the 15th of August, and crossed the summit of the mountains at 4:30 o'clock August 17, ar- riving at Helena later in the evening. After a brief rest at Fort Harrison, the march Was resumed, and active work for fifty- three hours brought the party to the Yel- lowstone Park. In a letter just received Lieut. Moss gives some interesting details of his trip, as follows: “So far our trip has been a decided suc- cess. Not including the distance traveled in the park. we have covered 323 miles in fifty-three hours of actual traveling, aver- aging a little over six miles an hour. We have made this over some of the worst roads in the United States, going over mountain ranges, fording streams, travel- ing in mud, dust, rain, sun, over rocks, ete. For miles we have rolled our. wheels up mountain sides in the dust three and four inches deep. At 5 p.m. September 1 we leave for Helena, and hope to cover the distance, 191 miles, in three forced marches.”” Of the trip through the-park he gives the following description: “Both the soldiers and myself enjoyed our trip through the park immensely. The officers and soldiers stationed in the park did all In their power to make us have a good time, and my. men are delighted with the treatment they have received every- where. I can hardly determine any rate of the distance traveled in the park, as we were censtantly stopping to took at the Seysers, paint pots, falls, etc. However, on * back we made no steps from Nor- ris Basin to the-Mammoth Hot Springs (twenty miles), as we had been over this part of the route going. We left Norris Basin yesterday afternoon at 2:30, and reached the sprirgs at 4:30, having covered the twenty miles in just two hours. The first ten miles we made in fifty-five min- utes. The roads were exceedingly dusty, but the grade was in our favor, although we had to roll our wheels up several hills. “Last Thursday we crossed the Conti- nental Divide twice in going from the Fountain Basin to The Thumb. The whole distance (iwenty-nine miles) was dusty and hilly. The road from the upper Geyser Basin to The Thumb (twenty miles) was by far the worst road we had on the whole trip. It was between these two points that we crossed the divide twice in one after- noon, the roads being exceedingly dusty, sandy, rough and hilly. Again and again we walked in dust and sand up to our ankles, rolling our bicycles up grade; time, 4 1-2 hours. It would have taken a com- pany of infantry, in heavy marching order as we were, one whole day to make this march, and then they would have been al- most dead with fatigue. The soldiers were up until 11 o'clock that night, getting off Jokes, jollying one another,” etc. No one will regret this interruption of a well-laid plan more than Liéut. Moss him- self. Beyond the fact that the government furnishes the men the usual rations, the Neutenant has provided for the entire ex- pense of the trip himself. The expenses for subsistence and the incidental charges along the route are all to be paid by him. The United States are put to no expense whatever. By commendable enterprise he secured the bicycles ard undertook the work; and whether the results prove of value or not, he deserves considerable cred- it. How much interest he took in the mat- ter for the men may be seen by the Zol- lowing extract from the letter just receiv- ed. Speaking of the vistt through the park and its benefits, he says: “The trip will, I think, serve as a great educator to the men. The wonders they have seen during the last five days will broaden their minds. What a difference between such a trip as this and hibernat- ing in the barracks!" SSS 0. 1” IS ARRESTED. The Famous Irish Invincible Taken in Boulogne at Pistol Point. Patrick J. P. Tynan, the notorious “‘No. 1" of the Irish Invincibles, who was so fre- quently mentioned during the trial of the persons charged with the murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish, chief secretary for Ireland, and Mr. T. H. Burke, permanent under secretary, in Phoenix Park, Dublin, May 6, 18S2, was arrested at Boulogne, France, at 4 o'clock yesterday morning on @ warrant issued tn 1882, the year of the Fhoenix Park tragedy. Tynan is also charged with belng con- cerned in the manufacture of dynamite bombs for use In England. It has been learned that he arrived from New York eity in Europe in August, when he de- barked at Genoa. He proceeded thence to Paris, where, it is alleged, he consorted with the Irish dynamite faction. Friday he arrived at Boulogne and expounded Fenian views at the hotel bar. He had been watched since he arrived in France by an English detective, who yes- terday_ morning placed him under arrest. ‘The officer pointed a revolver at his head and threatened to shoot him if he made the slightest resistance. Tynan was speed- Sly secured. He subsequently admitted his identit, In his possession were found a consider- able sum of money and a number of fn- criminating papers. It is stated that his arrest is connected with the arrests of Bell and Wallace, the former having been cap- tured In Glasgow end tke latter in Rotter- eam. ——___—__-e-_______ Political Information and Statistics.

AS TO CHEAP MONEY The Question Discussed by a Well-Informed Student on Economic Subjects. The Relations of Gold and Stiver Both as to Money and in a Commercial Sense. A well-informed student of economic subjects writes to The Evening Star over the signature “X, Y. Z.” as follows: ‘The commercial value of 23.22 grains of pure gold, the amount contained in one dollar, whether in coin or bullion, is, in silver dollars, $1, or 371.25 grains of pure silver coined; in silver bullion, 700 grains; in wheat at fifty cents per bushel, two bushels; in corn at twenty-five cents per bushel, four bushels; in cotton at eight cents per pound, twelve and a half pounds; in potatoes at twenty-five cents per bushel, fcur bushels; in beef at tifte2n cents per pound, six and two-third pounds; in dress goods at twenty-five cents per yard, four yards; in silk or cloth at $1 per yard, one yard; in labor at $1 per day, one day. The commercial value of 371 grains of pure silver in United States coins is the same as that of 23.22 grains of gcld; for each coined silver dol!ar of the United States is now equivalent in value to each gold dollar, These me‘als, when coined by the United States, are so joined tcgether by statute that their parity in value is maintained. It is immateria) when one goes to the market or store 10 purchase goods whether he pays in gold or ellver dollars; their purchasing power is the same. 3 The commercial value of S71 grains of pure silver bullion !s, In gold coin or bul- lion, 12.31 grains, or fifty-three cents in our present currency; in o:her commodities at the prices above named, us follows: In 3-50 bushels; in corn, 2 3-25 bush- els; in cotton, 6 5-8 pounds; in potatoes, 2 3-23 bushels; in beef, 3 8-15 pounds; in dress goods, 2 3-25 yards; in silk or cloth, 53-100 yards; in labor, 53-100 day. That 1s, these quantities of the several commodities specified are exchangeable for eacn other at the prices named. If now the govern- ment should agree to reczive any one of these, for instance, corn, at double its commercial value, reckoned in other com- modities, and by statute oblige all {ts citi- zens to do the same, making corn the standard of value, then, of necessity, as a matter of self-protection, when these cit!- zens desire to exchange wheat or heef or cotton or silk for corn, :hey must double their charges for these articles; that 1s, the statutory increase of the price of any com- modity carries with it a corresponding in- crease In the prices of all other commodi- tles for which it is exchangeable. Under these circumstances, the 5.3 grains of j-ure gold now paid for a ‘bushel of corn, equlva- lent to or worth twenty-five cents, will be worth fifty cents. To express the same thing in other words, it would require two bush- els of corn at the old par price, instead of one, to purchase 3.8 grains of gol; that Is, gold would go to a premium of 10) per cent. The only provision by which this couid be prevented would be that the government should promise to redeem all corn present- ed to the treasury, in gold, at fifty cents per bushel. In that event gold, and not corn, would become the standard of value. Advancing the Price of Silver. Suppose, however, that instead of- se- lecting corn, the governinent should choose silver for the purpose indicated, and ad- vance the price of grains from fifty- three rents to one dollar, agreeing to pay this price for whatever silver it used, and requiring by law that all citizens do the same. The Increase by statute of the commercial value of silver would inevitably be attended by an increase in the price of all other commodities, gold included; the amount of such increase being modified by the supply and demand of each, as the law of supply and demand is always applicable to all commodities. This would, of course, result in sending gold to a premium in re- lation to silver; that Is, while under ex- isting laws 700 grains of silver bullion and 23.22 grains of gold are both exchangeable for one gold dollar, under the proposed law 700 grains of silver would be exchangeable at the mint for $1.89, which would then be the price of a gold dollar; or, in other words, gold would go to a premium of about 9 per cent, other conditions remain- ing in statu quo. A logical deduction from this may be ex- Pressed as follows: Whenever from any cause gold goes to a premium in relation to that commodity which by statute is made the standard of value, the price of all other exchangeable commodities will in- crease proportionately. The price of com- modities 1s in the final analysis found to be determined by the price gold. It, there- fore, uniformly happpens that when the money in use, whether it be silver coins or certificates, or greenbacks, is depre- clated in value in comparison with gold, prices begin to rise, the per cent of such Increase approximating the premium on gold, provided this depreciation is long con- tinued. By this it {s not meant that on Black Friday the prices of products ad- vanced step by step with the price of gold, but that had the highest price of gold on that disastrous day been established as the Permanent price, the increase in the per- Manent prices of goods would have approx- imated that of gold. Relations of Silver and Gold. Whether, however,under existing circum- stances, the premium on gold would, in the event of the passage of a “frec silver” law, approach in amount the difference in the Present commercial values of the two met- als will cepend in a large mezsuro upon the influence of another law, viz., that of supply and demand, a law of universal ap- plicaticn, which must be taken into con- sideration in anv full and fair discussion of this subject. And here It may properly be remarked that in a matter of sucn par- amount imporiancze no political or partisan bias, no determination to “carry a point,” shculd be allowed to stand in the way of the frank acknowledgment of any iac!s substantially ved by an opronent, or of the recognition of the validity of any wheat, 1 argument fer which thoroughly good grounds are alteged. The essentially important thing, that upon which measureless interes:s depend, is the discovery of truth, the ascertain. ment, if possible, of those financial prin- ciples upon which the very best monetary system can be built. Wor any party to shut its eyes to facts, or :o deny the ap- plication of universally recognized laws, is to multiply dangers and to make con- fusion worse confounded. It cannot rea- sonably be denied that the advocates of “free silver” are right, when contending that the decrease in the price of silver since 1873, 1s In part at least, to be attributed to a decrease in the demand for the white metal. Prior to that date this demand was divided between the xov2rnment, that wished the bullion for transformation into coin, and the manufactu ‘3, who desired it for transformation into silverware. It was reauired for use as money, and for use in the arts. By the demonetizazion of silver, all demand for colnage parpores was suspended and destroyed, and the en- tire supply thrown uvon the market fer use in the arts. To be sure, the govern- ment later began to purchase tilver at market rates, but this was only a tem- porary arrangement, an experiment, and only served to modify In a measrre the legitimate effect of the act of 187%. That effect was necessarily a decrease in the value of stlver bullion under the inevitable operation of the law of supply and ée- mand. If analogous action had heen taken by the government Jn reference {fo any other commodity the same result wou!d have followed. For example, should a law be passed and enforesd that no butter should horeafter be made from the m'Ik of Jersey cows, but only from that of Dur- hams, who for a moment could doubt that Jerseys, whose product could be used only as milk, would at once begla to full in price; while the favored Durhams, whose product would be available both as milk and for manufacture into golden rats of butter, would find a ready market at ad- vancing prices? Furthermore, the same law which diminished the demand for sil- ver increased the demand for gold. It made gold the sole metal of coinage, the redemption money of a nation of 7),000,000. The demand which before had been shared alike by the two metals was thrown whol- ly upon gold. The inevitable consequence of this, under the law of supply and de- mand, was to increase the valu? of gold, or to enhance its purchasing power in réla- tion to other commodities. Thus, by the operation of this law in two directions, gold and silver were drawn apart. They who had been companions, held in equal estimation, were torn asunder, or at least separated; the ono appreciating in pop- Fin purchasing povr, ular regard, the -other-depreciating. If some portion of the ¢ecjine in price of si}- ver is to be attfibatad to its deprecia tion, some part mgy, afpo be properly at- tributed to the appregintion of gold. now silver be restgrod;{p ita fuil uso as a money metal, undér,a ‘free silver” statute, the process will be reversed by the inherent force of the law,of supply and demand. The demand for filver being thereby en- larged, and for god diipinished, they will again necessarily spprpximate each other ough it is not in rsilver at 16 to 1 during the present the least probable: th: will be at par with gol generation, if ever...” It might reach this ppipt if the supply of silver could in the &ame, way be restricted, but when-the atiniiias df # free allver law is applied to silvet’ ming and the whole world invited to contripute to our store of the white metal, jt is only a most enthu- slastic advocate a free silver, endowed with an untamed’ Imagination, that could believe that the parity of the two metals can be restored. The resultant of the op- eration of all the laws recognized as appli- cable in the premises will undoubtedly be a difference, larger or smaller, in thelr val- ue. That is, gold would necessarily go to a premium, the amount of which no man is wise enough to determine. It is the verlest folly for any one to deny this, or to de- claim against these conclusions, unless he can adduce valid reasons for supposing that the operations of these universal laws will be suspended in the interest of free silver, and at the behest of its promoters. The law of the tides had little regard for Mrs. Partington’s broom, though she was desperately earnest In its use, and was res- olute in proclaiming that old ocean would never again go to a premium in relation to the shore, though she had seen it rise un- der the influence of that law times without number. Gold to Go to a Premium. The fact that gold will go to a premium under 4 free silver law is universally ad- mitted on the one hand by those who maintain that all gold will be driven from the country or hoarded, which means that, if required, it can be had only by purchase at more than par in silver and, on the other, by those who advocate free silver on the ground that it will introduce an era of “cheap money”’—that is, cheap in compari- son with our present money, which is gold or Its equivalent. It cannot be cheap un- less gold is dear, unless it requires more than a coined silver dollar to purchase a gold dollar, or 23.22 grains of pure gold, which is “gold at a premium.” The logical and necessary consequence of this would be the inauguration of silver monomet- allism, the descent of the nation to a “sil- ver basis.” Whether, on the whole, this would prove a blessing or a curse is not yet manifest, and can be determined only by results, probably neither in unmixed meas- ure. Cheap money 1s usually not a very safe thing with which to deal, either for a nation or for an individual. If some ad- vantage is to be gained by its use, there are also serious disadvantages. It is very likely to prove a boomerang. If issued, it will certainly return, and that probably to the injury of the hand that sent it on ‘ts mission. To a great multitude of people the words “cheap money” are dulcet words and have a charming sound. One has but to observe what an effect some flaring ad- vertisement of “cheap goods” has in gath- ering a struggling crowd of men and wo- men at a place where “great bargains” are to be had to understand what a glamor the words “cheap money” throw over this whole question of free silver. Under the influences of the spell which they weave great crowds will undoubtedly rush to the polls in November to vote themselves an opportunity to secure “cheap money,” with- out stopping a moment to think that pos- sibly cheap money may mean dearer goods; that inasmuch as money is of no great use except for purposesiof exchange, to cheap- en it, that is to take away from its value, is only to make it necessary to have more of It than before to purchase the same amount of other which actuate the “great bares “cheap goods” crowd are not al noblest; nor the object with rush to the “bargain counters” the most manly or commendable, but it cannot be denied that the “bargain counter” has a wonderful attraction to many. Alas! how often “great bargains” have been found, in the end, the most costly, and yet how diffi- cult to deliver the deluded Victims from their seductions. Is it certain that “‘che money” will prove anymore satisfactor. Se a EXCELLENT SCHOOLS. Unusual Facilities for Education Afforded Here. Washingtonians are fortunate in the fact that there are here located many excellent institutions of learning, in addition to the public schools. The readers of the adver- tising columns of The Star are doubtless familiar with the names and the attrac- tions of most of these establishments, but in order to make sure that those in search of the right school for the training of the young this autumn may not overlook any meritorious institutions, brief notes of some of them are here given: The school and kindergarten at 1426 Q street, under the direction of Miss Susan Plessner Pollock, principal, will resume work September 16. A normal training class for teachers is connected with the in- stitution, and this branch will open October 1. The primary and advanced departments, as stated, will open September 16, and every advantage known to modern ideas, {t is claimed, may he found at the institu- tion. Full information will be furnished by Miss Pollock at the above address. The class in voice culture conducted by Mrs. J. Esputa Daly will resume work Sep- tember 14. Students are prepared for opera, ccncert, oratorio and choir singing, and the best references from some of the leading musicians of the country will be furnished upon application.

The Viceroy Received With Enthu- sinsm on the Pacific § ee At 11 o'clock yesterday morning Li Hung Chang arrived at Vancouver. Crowés lined the approach to the depot and wharf, and masses of people crowded all the emi- rences around the harbor. The Chinese residents had erected a handsome and artistic arch on the bridge leading to the wharf, and a long line of men in rich robes of blue, green, plum color, olive and orange stood in line before the arch, waiting to receive the great viceroy. The bridge was carpeted for some yards on either side of the arch, and on this carpet stood a carved ebony table, on which incense of sandal wood was kept constantly burning in a richly carved bronze burner. The Chincse Band, that sounded lke bagpipes, played Chinese music as Earl Li alighted from the train. A carriage, drawn by four white horses and draped with the Union Jack, waited to convey him the short distance from the train to the steam- er. When the procession started the coach was preceded by his celebrated scarlet chair, carried empty by four men. A division of marines from the warships in the harbor fell into line behind the viceroy, followed by a long deputation of Chinamen in their picturesque robes. pelea AUCTION SALES UF REAL ESTATE, &c ‘Today. ©.
