WHAT IS THE DlFFBREfTCEt The News has received the following and Mpponueu uuiiiumiiori: To The News: Will you please state the SI? nct on between "free ami unlimited coinage" ami cvMnnsc of both z-ia silver without discriminating ajniln't metal or charge for mintage?" stick to tho w. n.

n. The News will stick to the text, and tho flrot thing to do Is to glvu the text. Let us read to a period, not break oft at a comma, as if that were the end of the sentence. The sentence from which the above quotation Is made occurs In the national democratic platform of 1892, and rends ns follows: hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country and to the coinage of both gold and fsllvcf without discriminating against either metal or charge for mintage, but the dollar unit ot co nase of noth metals must be of equal intrinsic nnd exchangeable value, or through International agree- though much like the old, the old connotation for the future. And this greatest difference.

Everybody Is warned by a departure In. the of that the platform language, even when In future used In a short and elliptical wuy, shall not imply the right of a particular weight nf one metal to ba a dollar apart from natural parity or express adjustment with euch as the ability of the government, can provide to make really at par with the government's other money In all markets. On the other hand the connotation of the populist "free and unlimited" Is a silver dollar of present weight, even If the consequence should be that no gold would be coined. It contemplates a legal parity and practical ignoring of market parity. Such are some of the of impression conveyed by the respective expressions.

Although the late panic greatly duced values in many sections the country Is Just as rich now as It was before the panic. How is-this? Read some chapter on fictitious values and find out, MILLING CORN AND MlLLIlfa BULLION. Ex-Governor Ireland Is In favor of the coinage of both gold and silver for the owners of the bullion. He would have the coin turned over to the owner as meal Is turned over to the customer who brings corn to be ground. He would have the owner to take what he can get for his gold or silver, as the owner Is now left to take what he can get for his meal.

He says: "If the people will not take it from the owner no one will be Injured but the owner. He will go home with it as the boy from the mill does with his bag of meal. He will buy whatever he can with It and take whatever he can get for It. He will not hoid it as thb government IB doing." course this Idea of Intrinsic or exchangeable value lies directly across the path of the patriots who are clamoring for light-weight legal tender silver dollars. They contend that these dollars shall be multiplied indefinitely and that creditors and the rest of a i shall be compelled by law to accept thorn ns gold dollars, They agree with Governor Ireland, perhaps, that the citizen must bu left to make the most of his meal and of other products of his farm, pasture, orchard or garden.

They may even agree that one's gold is one's own to be used by the owner without gov- Shoup and Dubols of Idaho. Just elever all told, and able to hold Oils "housa of lords" In check for an IndeU nlte period. A commentary this on modern legislation! Let the senate of tho United States gnaw a flle and flee away into thi of Hepsldam. Slam gave France an inch and she Is now demanding an ell. Thus history is repeating itself In permitting might to make right, on the plea that tho end justifies the means.

The San Antonio Express insists that "to obtain political equality for the entire people It Is necessary to abolish both the electoral college and the United senate. If the theory upon which the existence of the senate is based be the true one, then that of political equality of the people is wrong and we should at once abolish the house and permit the senate to elect the president." Referring to the disgraceful Hlibusterine now going on in the senate, the Express adds: Now comes the senate with the excuse that It can not ratify the verdict rendered by the people at the polls, can not approvi the act of their representatives, because, forsooth, a dozen" or two members of that august body object! They tell ua that the only thing we con hope for Is a compromise that will satisfy this factious minority, that will induce the recalcitrants to permit the American house of lords to come to a vote. Otherwise the repeal bill will be tied up indefinitely by political dados and mental microbes, silver mine owners and their attorneys! The blessed majority can do nothing but compromise! Jj ny wona that a people reared in the fnith of majority rule should Brow restless and begin to ask If It were not possible to get along without a body that thus proves Itself a stumbling block to progress? If a large, stanch sea vessel were stripped of its rigging and everything else above its main deck and it were turned bottom side up on land so as to be flat on the earth, no earthquake could shake it to pieces and no cyclone could budge it a foot. crnmontal stimulants to be used by the assistance: owner, In fact, In spite of legal restrictions ns to interest, premium, or other form of profit, when it comes to the white metal they fly off at a tangent and actually contend that the owners of silver bullion shall have for iiiefiirielves an extraordinary law of sppnial favoritism and protection binding the miller to llx for every llsrlit- welght coin an arbitrary value that all men are to be forced, even against their wills, to pay for It. Ex-Governor Ireland adds: If my plan Is adopted men who are afraid will aid or ii moke their contracts paper as they are dolns will This Is tho text of the national democratic declaration on coinage, of which the second tc-rin quoted by the correspondent Is a part.

The meaning, then, of "coinage of both gold and silver without discriminating against either metal" needs no further explanation if the entire sentence be easily comprehensible, as It should be. To coin one metal at Its market value and the other at CO cents worth Into a dollar would become discrimination under alleged free and unlimited coinage, because the freedom and unllmitedness would not be equal as long as the other metal had not like privilege of having 60 cents worth of It coined into a dollar. That would amount to a discrimination The words "coinage without discriminating- are less specific than "free nnd unlimited," for the absence of discrimination Is not necessarily free coinage for either But the reference to no charge for mintage strongly Implies free and unlimited coinage at some ratio, and suggests that the two expressions would become practically the sume, if those who use the slogan "free and unlimited" would KO on und likewise predicate the maintenance of parity, which In the democratic platform la declared, and not parity before tlie law, in forced acceptance by of it payable In go. now. The courts will enforce their contracts.

The law can make a leiral tender unless tho contract calls for something else. Now, any law as Indicated above wlu do all it cstn for the silver man ana all hi" am ask for it. It must satisfy thi gold man. because he is not required to Uilce I In this way the government is rid of any further trouble about It and both parties, gold and silver men. must be satisfied, because both have got all tho government can uo.

The free and unlimited silverite flat- Ists do not agree that this is "all the government can Thty believe that the government can authorize and enable them to pay what they owe In silver dollars worth little more than half as much as HIP dollars they borrowed or the dollars represented by their credit purchases were worth. They believe that the government can put all the mills to grinding and fill their pockets with such currency-watering and debt-attenuating dollars. They believe, or profess to believe, that the government can fix by an arbitrary act of legislation a parity of value between two products of the world that have- been fluctuating In value daily and hourly since an infant commerce first learned to walk. Governor Ireland's plan Is hardly feasible, but In setting it forth he succeeds in making conspicuously ridiculous the claims of modern charlatans In finance and politics who contend that silver may and should be made a miraculous exception to all other products of the earth, the Intrinsic and exchangeable values.of which only an economic principle fixed as the law of gravitation can regulate. Legislation no more Interrupt or compromise the operation of that principle than It can interrupt or compromise the tidal and the planetary movements.

The British house of lords did not hesitate to vote. They came to a votu In due and legitimate course uf timti and refused to resort to any cowardly More storms--more victims. The gulf coast from New Orleans to Mobile has been swept by the fury of wind and wave. Over 2000 liven were lost and thousands of people are homeless and helpless. This is the third great ocean storm we have had within a month.

The llrst was along the New York and 'New- England coasts; then the sea Islands of South Carolina were devastated; the last has laid waste the gulf country. No good man need search In vain for an unfortunate neighbor to help these days. The News earnestly desires to see all the people ot Texas prosper. This wish does not stop with any family or clan of politicians. The News does not regard Texas as a prize for this, that or the other squad of political adventurers.

Austin Statesman: The Galveston News slanders the "snulls" by characterizing thu senate aa a "house of snails." Snalln ilo get there, but Quite late In the day. The senate doesn't got there at any lime, but a skillful minority has taught them all "how not to dc It." Yes, and another point In the snail fnvor Is ho tnawj, libw liucji hi mouth shut without a Jackscruw to Hf and hold up his nother Jaw. The trouble In Texas Is similar to th national malady from which the tax payers are suffering. It Is too many pension eaters.

Baltimore Sun: Senator Cameron's speed In opposition lo tho repeal of the Sherman act presents the history and character that act (n a clear light. The Sherman act he shows, was a. part of the great system of piotectlon inaugurated in 1890. Wha the McKlnley bill was to the Pennsylvanln manufacturers the Sherman act was to th -Tllvcr mine of mid Colorado The former made a market (with hlgl prices) for eastern manufacturers, and the latter did the same for the silver product There, was a bargain, und would be a shame now for eastern protectionists to rob the silver men of their part of it while keeping their own. Yet southern senators who pretend to stand with the farmers of their states persist In their efforts to hold the peoplo to this outrageous system of favoritism and protection.

of his Judge Bryant in tho course of his remarks said: "This question about the abuse of railroads or about the way they act Is an argument that ouftht never to be inside a court House or listened to by honest men. The argument that It Is right to take from one man to give to another because he happens to have something pernicious, and ought to be listened to by honest men." The jury rendered a verdict for the defendant after being out ten minutes. That proverbially grave and solemn paper, the Austin Statesman, slips up and perpetrates this awful pun: Our respected antediluvian progenitor was A-dam man. The Austin papers never tire of punning on the word dam. The Brenham Herald a nice distinction: The society man Is not prlma facie a fool; the duda Is.

FOR BURIED GOLD. A Gang of Mexicans After Doubloons Dig Holes and Startle San Antonio. San Antonio Express, October u. The people In the northwestern part of the city are much exercised over rather ro- dtmi.nstniUonu on the part of four Mexicans who, acting under what they claim Is divlll" Inspiration, are digging for burled treasures. Tile location of the supposed hMden wealth IB somewhere upon the five-acre tract of land belonging to Adolph Schurlg, dairyman living at 021 Caetro street.

Tim seekers have been at work for some time past and are confident of ultimate success. They have already dug three eood sized holes, but so far as known none of the gold, the flgfiix-pute amount of which is 11 doubl ons The Mexicans are ordinary looking men, belonging to the common class of the trans-San Pedro population. The leader is about 45 years of age and his name is said to lie Marlto. He claims to have had a vl'ion one night several ago in which the secret of the location and hls- to him bui lt 1 were revealed Schurlg attracted to thi er, who Inquired what they were doing the Mexicans dropped to the ground like logs and lay with their ajuinat the eartF the attendance of half a hundred "cow- action, of thTfour Mexicans a few boys" on horses, and these, headed by nights ago. The quartette were seen buiiiv engaged with pick shovel In excavating In a secluded spot of tho trnrt.

upi by an inquisitive observ- quired dropped ith their na ear They would not utter a word Hnd r-malned In their uncomfortable posture until the visitor had withdrawn, when they continued their excavating. When the moon had reached the they quit work. .1 ask concerning their peculiar actions the leader explained by mmrtlnr that the vision ha'l Instructed him to speak to no one while engaged In their search and that he and his assistants must bow down to earth when addressed by any stranger or the charm would be broken and the Alvin brass band, would make a notable appearance. The Waelder Local says: For the past two weeks the Galvestou News has been filled with communications and Interviews suggesting plans to harmonize the Clark and Hogg wings of the democratic party of Texas. No doubt but the rank and file of the party could be very easily harmonized, but the great difficulty is there arc not enough offices to go around the whole circle, and the Ins don't want to get out and the outs don't want to be left out In the cold.

It used to be said that parties were held together by the cohesive power of public plunder, but the division of the spoils may now divide the party. The Eagle Pass Guide says: Our friends In Mexico city have taken a backward step, we fear, in levying that tax on cotton fabrics. What Mexico needs Is Industry, and a condition precedent of productive Industry Is capital. Capital Is In demand In many places besides Mexico--In' places where, as yet, capitalists place more confidence than In even the most stable- and progressive of the Spanish-American republics--and capitalists, to be prevailed upon to invest In Industrial enterprises In Mexico must be assured of a larger net return than they could obtain In Germany or the United States. This is not true of foreign capitalists alone, however, but to even a greater degree of property owners who hold Mexico for their home.

Capital In Mexico does not go beggings There, are Investments there certain of large returns, demand- Ing no Industrial capacity, and dependent on no market fluctuations. There Is no country on tho earth that offers aui-er und larffer returns for land ments than Mexico. This has two causes: lands In Mexico are not taxed, nnd, owing to "lack of confidence," there has been no boom there. Consequently lands are now valued there at what the5 produce, and, being tax free, can bp "held for a rise" at nominal cost. This being so, what Is to Induce men to invest their capital In industrial ventures, if nut large profits? if, then, taxes are placed on industrial ventures, either the manufacturers must receive some compensatory bonus or they will be inclined to realize on their Investments and put the proceeds into real estate to the detriment of the public.

Tins is the kind of retrenchment called for by the Llano News: The bane, the curse of this country is the frequency of popular elections and tls much legislation both state and national amendments to the United States constitution and the state constitution both the number of Unitsd States senators and congressmen, also the number of state senators and representatives have better and fewer ofll- cers, six years and provide that no one shall ever hold the same office for the second term, and we think state elections should be every six years and federal every six years.
