Isn't that precisely what gold is doing now? How, otherwise, Will the World, account for-the .re peated wiping out of the gold re serve? "k ' When the HQvYotkAdvertisertp. tries to humbug the pensioner by tell ing him that if free silver wins the suit of clothes which he can now buy for $12, one month's pension, will cost -him twice &s much, it perhaps didn't think it was putting in a pretty good lick for free silver with the clothes-makers, the producers of the materials out of which clothes are made, and with nearly every one but the pensioner. A gold standard contemporary remarks that in 1851, an unce of gold would buy only 15.46 ounces of silver," while now it will buy 31.56 ounces, v But why? In 1851 silver was as much of a moneymetal as gold. Put it back where ' it was and make it a full money metal and an ounce .of gold wouldn't buy any more ounces of silver than it could then. - , We would like to have some' gold standard man of veracity rise and tell us how many Eastern States the Democratic party could carry on a gold standard platform, and then tell us how many Southern or Western States it could carry on the same kind of a platform, and 'really what business the Democratic party would have to attend to in the campaign. I The London Economist does not bank much on the St. Louis declara tion for the gold standard, which it thinks a put-up job by insincere poli ticians, who would have proclaimed as loudly for silver if they had thought it would win. A London editor doesn't often catch on so well, and size up things American so ac curately. HEW i AD V JStfTIllNTS. .. Base Ball- At Hilton'. V Regatta Carolina Yacht Club. Str.

BASE BALL. ' . - . s? Wilmington ". High Point Firit Game ot the Serioa Score 2 to 2 -The Hee- ond ot the Three Q-ames to he Flayed r - Thie Afternoon et Hilton" Par ar. The 6rst game of the series with High Point" played yesterday at Hilton Park was one that abounded in brilliant plays and was characterize by good playing throughout. The ! game was called promptly at ' 4 80, with. Mr. W; F... .Robertson as umpire.; The High Point ttf ami went ,in the fisld, while - cur boys took the willow. Hauser was in the box for Hight Poinf and Watson caught 'em, while Stray born did the honors for Wilmington and our Fritz'e (Z filers) did the back stop ping.- Nothing could be secured off Hauser's delivery in the first inning, but ' in the" third Wilmington crossed the rubber once, but the -High Point boys were not to be downed, and so they soon made a tally for themselves, the score standing one-one for two in nmgs,.and then Wilmington secured one more "peach," but High Point also climbed up one more, and that ended the run-getting of the game. . Ferdie Johnson made a pretty double play in the fourth. to Furlong and Wat son, bringing forth cheers from the crowd. The game up to the time it was called the eleventh inning was "nip d tuck," although from a disinterested standpoint we think our boys outplayed the High Point team. Hauser struck out eleven men, while Strayhorn fixed up nine in the same manner; but High Point had seven errors against : them, while Wilmington got through witfi only three. ' , - A very fair crowd witnessed the game although not near the crowd that the boys ought to have had, and it is to be hoped Hilton Park will be crowded when time is called on the second game this afternoon at 4 o'clock.

The run will then be over 1.000 miles long. The Populist Executive Committee of the Fourth Congressional district met here yesterday and apportioned the nine votes of the district in the National Convention to the various counties. The County Executive Committees will meet and elect the delegates to Si Louis. The Congressional Convention was called, but the date will beset by the chairman. Rev. J. O. Cunningham, D.

Journal Bicycle failures are coming thick and fast. There have been twenty-one fail ures in June, and any number of attach ments of wheels consigned for sale, many to anticipate expected failures. Many more failures . are expected this month. The cause of the failures is not so much that the season is drawing to a close and sales are falling off. Every trade has its seasons. Nor can any' local conditions account for it, as fail ares are occurring in all parts of the country. . There has been no falling off of inter est in wheeling. The main causes' of failures are the cutting of prices and the increased sales of cheaper wheels. Good wheels are cheaper. The catalogue prices remain the same, but the price cutting has been going on at a tremen dous rate. One Chicago firm is in such need of ready money that it has sent a large consignment of first-class wheels to this city to be sold at auction. Yesterday they brought on the average a little over $35. The very best makes can be bought from out-of-town agents for $75. A few can be bought for less. A man who has a great many friends among the wheelmen in Brooklyn said be knew several who. rode a wheel which has the reputation of not making discounts to any one. No one man paid $103 for his wheel. On Warren street a first grade wheel can be bought for $75. Of conrse, in most cases $100 is asked. The customer is "sized up." The same wheel is sold at the Brooklyn agency for $65. The roundabout schemes devised- to sell a wheel for. $100 and yet less would fill volumes. . The .manufacturers admit that this cutting will be more general as the sea son draws to a close. That list prices next year can be kept up to $100 is ex tremely doubtful. Some of the manufacturers say the main cause of the recent failures was the lack of sufficient capital; that these men knew the cost of producing a wheei, aud, seeing the apparently large margin of profit, rushed into the business not calculating the cost ot advertising and selling. It is significant that most of the fail ures have been among dealers and not among manufacturers. This shows that it is the margin ol profit that is being cut down. To give low prices the agents have to give np a part of their profits.
