s e TSI 4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY,: MAY 18, 1895. intended only for export to China, and it was shut off by the act of 1876, except s the Sec- Tetary of the Treasury might permit it to be coined. . Let us have nothing more to do with the men who-assisted in tying the hands of this great Nation and delivering its financial poliey over 10 the gold gamblers of the world. The bank iof Rothschilds in England is now behind the TUnited States Treasury. They-are our fingncial agents; our financial managers; we are paying them the princely salary of $8,000,000 for each six months of | ther valueble services. We ‘are in the hands of the pawnbrokers of Enrope. How long is our reserve stock of gold tolast? How are we to replenish it? There is only one way. « That is to horrow it from those who have it end that means England. And that is what we are doing. That means more interest, more gold annuelly to England, Where will itend? It means the ‘‘dismal sivamp” on *‘Hell’s Half Acre” beyond. This is what having a gold standard means— amoney that is easily cornered. But how are we to pay these debts to England? It is in this way: Restore silyer; put it in competition with gold on a legal ratio of 16 to 1; repeal all laws allowing s discrimination - between the two imetals; stop gold notes from being taken, put r in competition with gold as quick as po: We can show gold that we do not depend on it for money. It will then be our slave. It is now our tyrant. It will thea come back and. beg us to take it, as in 1873, when it=one of these gold dollars— was worth 2 cents less'than a silver dollar. When @ great Government llke the United States says, “Here is equal change,16 for1l, goid for silver,” a man in France is not going 10 part With his silver for gold unless he gets that much for it; unless he gets as much for it as the United States will pay forit, less the cost of exchange. This is & question of capital on one side and Humanity on the other;.of sound money— the sound ot the clod on the- coffin—on one side, and sound money—the sound that hasthe honest ring of the peaple’s money in it—on the other. It js the question. of an English or a National policy. - Which shall 1t be? Professor. Laughlin, replying for the negative, said: Apart froin thewell-undérsiood use of money asa medium of exchange, money is used like a common- denonginator of-vlue with which otner articles are compared. ~As & measure of value it sérves in a similar way.as a guart cup may serve as- 4 measure of. capacity; and as there isnot néeded’a separate cup for every quisrt of milk in existence zo gne can measure hundréds. of thonsands of goods by comparing | There is ne | with the same standard ‘of -value. need of ‘&n amount of money -equel to all the goods in existénce. The measure of value'is that in 'which prices sire stated and debts are paid, provided the nieasure of value is also made a legal tender in &ny-country. It is evident then that the quantity of weasiires is not so material as the unverying stability of the standard of measure. The absurdity of supposing thatmuch money 1s required in order to have -something with | whieh t0 measure goods is as absurd as to sup- posé & community must have hearses in num- | ber equal to the population. - All goods are | meitherexchanged at the same. time nor are they offered in. comparison with standard at | the same time. | What is importamt to point out is that goods | when expressed in terms of common denomi- nator of yalue are daily exchanged in enor- mous quantities mainly without the use of any money. For the exchange of thesé goods therefore money is not needed in proportion to the transactions. ' This function is that of the medium of exchange. The necessity of an ificreasing quantity of money is growing. less important with the de- velopment of this system of exchanges. From 92 per cent 10 95 per cent of the transactions are performed by this machinery without the use of money, and recent investigations made by the Comptroller of the Currency show tnat 54 per cent of the retail transactions are simi- larly performed without the use of money. Some one might say, “This vast system of currency must be liquidated in. actual coin.” Now this is wholly untrue. We' expréss the value of goods in terms of morney, but then we redlly exchange them almostentirely by means of the deposit currency. The. transactions ex- pressed in terms of money are. based not upon coin, but upon the goods bought and sold. The system, therefore, is as. broad - gs the transactions and is ultimately resolyed into goods and is based on goods. The redemption is- ultimately in goods and notin-eoin. Prices since 1873 bave not fallen because of the lack of money. Silver has fallen about 50 per cent as compared with a very modest fall in the price of commodities. Silver-does not have the same purchasing price in 1894 as in1873. Hence free coinage cannot be urged as & just means of paying debts. Since we undertook the purchase of silver in 1878 it has fallen about one-half in’ value, al- though we have purchased $600,000,000, It is perfectly evident that there is no use in the United States acting alone to bolster up the price of silver when we have failed even in concert with the La‘in Union. Free coinage of silverat 16 to 1 means silver monometallism. To-day the market ratio be- tween gold and silver is nearly 34 ‘to I If we had the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 there would be the premium of about-16 ounces of silver as & premium on withdrawing every ounce of gold coin in circulation: The free coinage of silvéer under such condi- 1i0ns as exist to-day would not mean the con- current circulation of bothgold and silver. It would mean the immediate adoptios of the single silver standard, Free coinege of silver would not-increase the quantity of money. Since gold-must be inev- itsbly driven out, the free coinsge of silver would result in & diminution of -the quantity of money. :On Msy 1, 1895, the. ofiicial reports of the gold circulation are $568,000,000. To adopt free - ‘coinage of “silver at 16 to1 when the market ratio is about 34 to 1, would mean: the-instant retirement from circulation’ of - nearly “$600,000,000 of gold “circulation. This would :change the price. of everything ' because reckoned on a cheaper medium: then that of gold, For example, & pair of gloves oW worth 100.cents in gold would exchange for about 210 cents in silver. 3 = % The fizst effect of the free eoinage of silver would be to diminish the purchasing power of ell our wages." The man -who gets $500 or $1000 & year as a fixed rate.of wages or.salary will find hé can buy. just half 45 much as now, 1t has been one of the nndisputed- facts'of his- tory that when' prices risé, fhe wages of labor are the last to advance, and when prices fall the wagesof laborers are the first to decline, Are we willing t0 sacrifice the interestsof the 1sboring class to thedenandsof ceftainowners of silver mines who aré trying to hoodwink the people with the cry of moré money? . y The proposition to adopt a depreciated stan- dard of velue is stinply ax attempt to transfer | from'a great mass of - the community who have been provident; indistrious and :successful a portion of their savings and pockets of thosé who havé beeir either idle, ex- travagant or unfortunate. ' - 2 No invasion of hostile arinfés; burning ana destroying as they advaiice could by any possi- bility equel the desolation.snd ruin. which would' thus be forced upon ‘the’ great mass of The shrewd ones, the bankérs and the like, will be easily able 1o take. care of themselyes, while we plain people- will be robbed of our hard earnings without any ‘hope of compensa- e, - 25 > Not only will free coinage prevent a person in distress from_beirig able to borrow money when. he needs it, but it will create conditions which will make it impossible for -the debtors 10 meet their indebtediiess. . -. . Were free coinage of silver-to be passed it would mean that every depositor in-a savings bank, every investor in a loan association, every holder of a life insurance, every recipient of a pension, would fhave their dunesreduced one-half. 2 ik S It is possible there is something behind this free coinage scheme not really discovered. It is possible it is aimed against the great mass of the industrious and intelligent, and it is really intended to serve the interests of the very rich and great corporations. 2 % . The bonded debt of the rajlroads is about £6,000,000,000. - If free coinage of silver were introduced it would enable these railways to ‘pey off their debts with what:is now equiva- lent to about §3,000,000,000. ‘The Sherman act of ‘July 14, 1890, unless re- pealed, would have brought us to the single standard. As it was, the mere suspicion of sil- ver.monometallism and the.change of prices struck ‘s blow at the solidity ‘of our interna- | shall’s term covered thirty-four years, five into the |- tional trade, brought on the panic, made prices uncertain and caused much doubt as to the future plans in every factory and shop in the land. Those who have silver mines, and who can by their wealth control political parties and legislatures, who make the very seatof our National Government their prided offices, and actually turn the National Senate into a burean for bulling the price of their product—to these men we say beware. Free coinage was born in the private offices of the silver kings, nursed at the handsof speculators, clothed in economic error, fed on boodle, and as sure as there is honesty and truth in the American heart it will die young and be burfed in the same ignominious grave where lies the now forgotten infant once famous es the rag baby. | The time after the main addresses was not occupied fully by Mr. Harvey. In- stead it was agreed that he be accorded fifteen minutes; then Laughlin to reply in fifteen minutes, and Harvey to conclude in | five minutes. The finish was largely taken | up with good-natured chafing of each other. ASSOCITE JUSTICE FIELD. ] i Soon He Will Celebrate an An- niversary of Great | Interest. | It Is the Jurist’s Ambition to Serve the Longest Term on the Supreme Bench. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 17.—Justice | | Field will next Monday celebrate the grand | | anniversary of his entering upon the duties | as amember of the United States Supreme Court. He was appointed to the office on | March 10, 1863, by President Lincoln, but did not assume the dutiesof the position | until the 20th of May following. | He was at the time of his appointment | Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the | State of California, and he desired to finish | the business which had been begun before | transferring his labors to a new field. The | hty-second anniversary of his father's | birthday also fell-on the 20th of May, which was another reason for his selecting that date for beginning his services in the | National S8upreme Court. | Counting from the date of his appoint- ment only three Justices have been longer on the Supreme bench than Mr. Field. These were Justice Marshall,J ustice Storey | and Justice Wayne. Chief Justice Mar- | months and five days; Justice Storey’s | thirty-three years and nine months and | Justice Wayne’s thirty-three years and | five months. | When Justice Field went on the bench | Judge Taney was Chief Justice. It is said : to be Mr. Field’s ambition to extend his term so as to make it the longest onrecord, { and he bids fair to be able to accomplsh | that result, notwithstanding he is now | almost 79 years old. | He admits, when the stories of his in- | tended resignation are carried to him, that he hopes to remain on the bench at least one year longer. Justice Field has already i made known his intention of going | to the Pacific Coast, where his circuit is located, during the | coming vacation of the Supreme Court, as has been his annual practice, with com- paratively few exceptions, ever since his appointment, notwithstanding the law re- quires visits to the circuit only once every gt AN OLDL STORY FROM MAUL Thurston’s Favoring Restoration Is Re- | garded as a Joke. | WASHINGTON, D. C., May 17.—The ! story coming from San Francisco asto | Minister Lorin Thurston being in favor of | the restoration of the Hawaiian monarchy, although given as emanating from “private | information received at San Francisco,” is | not new in Washington, as a similar story | came in the mail advices ten days ago and was. regarded as a canard. The Honolulu | Advertiser of abouta month ago had a{ letter from the island of Maui, one of the two years. 1 THE WOMAN'S: CONGRESS, Many Ladies Are Going Forth to Welcome the Champion of Their Sex.

Mamie Johnson Buries Her Misfortunes and Hersell in the Bay. Mamie Johnson, an unfortunate young woman, jumped from the ferry-boat Bay City off Goat Island last night. She was accompanied to the ferry depot at 7:30 P. M. by & well-dressed man, who appeared to be intoxicated. ‘‘Professor”” Tony, a barber, saw her leap into the water and gave the alarm imme- diately. The steamer was stopped and Captain Bradley had a boat lowered, but the woman had sunk out of sight. On the seat she had occupied were found her purse, handkerchief, and a letter ad- | dressed to Frank Phillips, care of the Baldwin Cafe, beside the penciled note. The letter addressed to Phillips was from the dead woman’s sister, Jennie, and was dated from Kingsburg, Fresno County. It read as follows: KINGSBURG, May 12, 1895. has not been to California for twenty years, Dear Friend Frank: Received your papers O'K, and was glad to get them, Hope you will MRS. GEORGE T.

Now in her old age she has been received on all | hands with every show of esteem and con- | sideration, and it was evident from her | letter that she felt quite overcome by this | warmth and enthusiasm. The letter con- | cluded in the following terms: | Eversthing 10oks aimost too bright and too | promising to be true, but, nevertheless, the | world of iate—yes, always, has brought somany | good things to onle that they now seem per- _eux)f' natural.

Gaden, the correspond- | ing secretary, announced that she had re- | ceived communications from. numerous towns in this and neighboring States, all of which were anxious to have a visit from Miss Anthony and Miss Shaw after the congress week. Among the letters which | Miss (aden read were communications | from San Jose, Stanford University, Los | Angelee, Santa Maria, Tacoma and Santa | Cruz.

C., May 17.—In de- ciding the case of appeal of John Drysdale | from the rejection of a homestead entry | on the Fort Crittenden abandoned mili- tary reservation in Utah, Secretary Smith holds that although the entries on this reservation prior to the passage of the act of August 23, 1894, are invalid, the bona- | fide settlers within the limit of this reser- vation and of all other abandoned military reservations of more than 5000 acres are now entitled to make entry on lands occu- pied by them, providing no adverse claims have arisen since the termination of the six months that have elapsed after the passage of the act. i An Errvor in the Proclamation. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 17.—An error has beendiscovered in the proclama- tlon for the opening to public settlement .of the Siletz Indian Reservation, which was signed by President Cleveland yester- day. The act of Congress provides that sixty days’ notice must be given by the proclamation. That signed yesterday pro- vided that the reservation shall be opened this month. It will have to be withdrawn and the date changed. GH OF AMERICA. Proposition to Create the Office of Su- 4 . preme Organizer. OMAHA, Nespr., May 17.—At to-day’s session of the Supreme Council of the Catliolic Knights of America the conven- tion again resolved itself into a committee of the whole to complete consideration of the report of the committee onlaws. The most important feature in this respect was the debate on the question of creating the supplemental office of supreme organizer, & position suggested to increase the mem- bership of the order. . During this discussion Archbishop Gross of Oregon took the floor for the first time during the convention proceedings and warmly urged the necessity of doing some- thing to infuse new life into the order and insure and increase its membership. The Western delegates held a cauncus and de- cided' to promote the chances of Hon. E. D. McGuinnes of Providence, R. L., for the supréme presidency.

A warm letter of congratulation from the president of the Sorosis Club, Mrs. Irving M. Scott, was read. The executive board has entire charge of the disposition of the speakers’ time durinl%the congress week. .1t was decided yesterday that the executive board should meet Miss Anthony and .Miss Shaw at Six- teenth street,Oakland, to-morrow morning. A number of Oakland ladies and gentlemen will also be present at Sixteenth street. Mrs. Cooper announced that Rev. Anna Shaw, M.D., would preach on Sunday morning at the First Congregational Church, Oakland, and in the evening in the First Congregational Church of this City. Dr. Shaw was the first woman or- dained in the Methodist church, of which body she is still a pastor. She studied and took the degree of M.D. in order that she spiritually to the members of her flock. The meeting of the executive board yes- terday morning concluded with the read- ing of & number of letters, including one from Frances Willard, who isin London, expressing the deepest interest in the com- ing congress.

Argument by counsel as to the declinations | by Claus Spreckels Sr. in the preliminary pro- | ceedings of the case of Spreckeis vs. Spreckels | for siander was resumed yesterday before Judge | Daingerfield. Attorney Henry Ach haying ad- vanced some views on the propriety of a party Cross-examining his own wiiness, dttorney Delmas proceeded to demolish that theory as untenable. As he showed on the previous hearing, counsel for C. A. Spreckels Jr. had confused ‘‘leading questions” with ‘‘cross- examination.” The court upheld Mr. Delmas’ construction as an elementary rule of law, and stated that his inclination would be to support & witness in declining to answer any question the materiality of which did not appear on its face. He asked light on other aspects of the case, such as the bearing of the questions objected to upon “justification” and “punity | of damages or no punity of damages.” Mr. | Delmas disposed of one of the innumer- | able citations of Mr. Ach, as ?rtia'lly stated, ;:xflithe matter went over until Friday morning Bradford’s Suit Dismissed. Judge Sanderson yesterday sustained s de- murrer to the. oomgluint of Wallace Bradford against the City and County to curtail its action in the matier of the City’s debts,and granted the plaintiff one day to amend.

Members of the Profession Declare That the Act of 1885 Must Be Enforced. The unlicensed dentists must go. So say the regular practitioners. A law approved March 12, 1885, made this command very explicit, and at each annual meeting of the State Board of Den- tal Examiners since that time the order has been strenuously reiterated. But the law has remained practically a dead letter, and the Board of Examiners could do little beyond publishing a list of namesin their yearly report to the Governor, under the heading of ‘illegal practitioners.” All this seemingly has had little terror for the unlicensed, for they have increased during the last three or four years. San Francisco is full of them, and the country towns abound in itinerant ‘“‘tooth carpenters,” without diplomas or certificates. But there is going to be a change in the near future, and the iron hand of the law will close its fingers on the neck of a hun- dred or more of the unlicensed who are now practicing. i There is now in_process of formation in this city a combination of dentists—all representative men in the profession— having in view the instituting of legal pro- ceedings under the provisions of the act of 1885, against illegal practitioners whereyer found. It will not mean the prosecution of a hali-dozen isolated cases, but rather the hunting down and fining or imprison- ment of every man in the State who is at the present time practicing dentistry with- out a certificate from the State Board of Examiners. 2 The law is entitled an “act to insure the better education of practitioners of dental surgery, and to repulate the practice of dentistry in the State of California.”” It went into effect March 12, 1885. Section 4 of this act provides as follows: Within six months from the time that this act takes effect it shall be the duty of every person engaged 1n the practice of dentistry in this State o cause Lis or her name and place of residence or place of business to be regis- tered with said Board of Examiners, who shall keep a book for that purpose. The statement of every such person shall be verified under oath beéfore & notary public or Justice of the Peace in such a manner as may be prescribed by the board. Eivery person who shail so zegis- ter with said board as a practitioner of dentis- try shall receive a certificate to that effect, and may continue to practice s such without in- curring any ofithe penalties or liabilities pro- vided in this act, and shall pay to the Board of Examiners for each registration the fee of 1. Section 5 provides for examinations as follows: Any and all persons who shall so desire may appear before the board at any of the regular meetings and be examined in reference to their knowledge and skillin dental surgery; and if the examination of such person or per- sons shall prove satisfactory, the Board of Ex- aminers shall issue to such persons as they find 1o possess the requisite qualifications a_certifi- cate to that effect in accordance with the pro- visions of this act. Said board shall also in. dorse as satisfactory diplomas from any reput- able dental college” when satisfied as to the character of such insttution, upon the holder furnishing satisfactory evidence to the board of his or her right to the same, and shall issue certificates to that effect within ten deys there- after. The penalty is provided for in. section 6 as follows: Any person who shall violate any of the pro- visions of this act shall be deemed_guilty' of & misdemeanor, and ugun couviction may be fined not less than §50 nor more than $200, or confined six months in the county jail for each and every offense. All funds recovered uunder this act shall be paid into the common school fund of the county in which such conviction takes place, JOHN BRUCE IS GONE. He Ate Dinner With a Friend Three Years Ago and Was Never Seen Since. In yesterday’s issue of the CarL there appeared the following advertisement: Information wanted concerning John Bruce, 2 native of Scotland, height 5 feet 4 inches, weight 140 pounds, aged about 54 years; when Tom by relatives about three years ago was in San Francisco. Any information concerning him will be thankfully received by P. Cunningham, 4 Precita avenie, San Fran- cisco. Mr. Cunningham said concerning the disappearance of John Bruce: “QOne day three years ago Bruce and I ate dinner together in a restaurant on Eleventh street, near Mission. Bruce was eating when I finished, and I did not wait for him, but went to the Co-operative Shoe Factory, where I was employed. I have not seen him since. “His relatives in Canada have requested me to institute a search for him, as there are some important private matters to be attended to there. I do not know what these matters are, but I believe Bruce was possessed of abundant means. “He roomed at my home for about fen years, and so far as I know did no work during that time." Money was sent to him by his relatives in Canada. 2o “A very peculiar part of the affair is that the proprietor of the restaurant where Bruce was_ last seen by me told me Bruce stayed at his place till the next day, and then Jeft with the remark that he was going to my home. He did not, however, cali at my house that day, and from ap- earances I have concluded that he has geen made the victim of some one’s ras- cality, and possibly is now dead.” If you haven’t got a wardrobe, where CAN you hang them ?—your old clothes!
