n1r. Thurman ON Contraction


Mr.. Thurman, in his Hamilton speech,
processes to show the actual amount of
the contraction of the currency from the
passage of the resumption act, January
IA, 1875, to June 80, 1873, ''three years and
half" and quotes the Chairman of the
finance committee of the Senate as assert
ing that ''the charge of contraction is
contraction of the TRUTH and proceeds
to state what he calls the truth. As Mr..
Thurman assumes wrong numbers to be-
gin with, and then makes clerical error
of $50, 900 against himself in the sub
traction of his own figures, we will only
quote his result, namely: Since the pas
sage of the resumption act 'Fthe contrac-
ton amounts to over $76, ZOO, ,OOO.''
It should be clearly understood that
Mr.. Thurman is not talking about paying
debts or redeeming promises to pay dol
lars, but about the Government furnish
ing medium of, exchange for the bust
ness, trade, and commerce of the country.
If Senator Thurman should furnish his
butler with an amount of currency suf-
ficient to provision his establishment
when -four was $12 per barrel and other
edibles in proportion, and less amount
when flour was Sc per barrel and other
provisions at the same market rate, the
butler could not ''fairly'' say that his
master had contracted the amount of cur
rency necessary to make the purchases.
Mr.. Thurman says: "But what is the
truth ?' We answer the truth is this, and
the following statement involves the to-
tai volume of currency at the two periods
in question, including State bank circu-
lation, National bank circulation, demand

-,1ent 1, L,fe-coIa 1. Death

There is no greater fallacy than the opin-
ion Of many, particularly the young and
strong and vigorous, that winter.-especial-
~ sharp, frosty one, with plenty of snow
is the most healthy season OF the year.
Very few persons seem to realize the fact
that cold is the condition Of death, and
that in both warm and cold climates it is
our unconscious effort to maintain our
bodily heat at temperature OF ninety
eight degrees that wears us out. To this
temperature, called "blood heat, y every
cubic inch Of oxygen that serves to vitalize
our blood must be raised by our own bodi-
" heat, or life ceases. Since in cold wealth
or tic maintenance Of sufficiently
elevated bodily temperature becomes very
often a difficulty too great for our
strength. the advent OF q severe winter Is
really more to be dreaded than o vista
lion Of A pestilence. The saying, "Heat
Ia liie-cold is DEATH, has q striking
illustration and confirmation in the reports
now regularly submitted:by DR.: Russell to
the Glasgow Sanitary Committee. The
death rate rises and falls with the regular
;ty OF the thermometer. So many degrees
las heat, 40 many more deaths, and rice
, In one OF his iortnightly reports
DR.. Russell says: 1.-THE death rate IN the
first week OF the fortnight was twenty'one,
and in the second week twenty-five. Inc
mean temperature in the former week
was 4O.S degrees Fahrenheit, ~ the latter
Se'5 degrees" He attributes the low rate
Of the tirst week TO the high mean tenn
perature OF the preceding fortnight, which
was 4T0S degrees, and adds: This Is a
GOOD illustration OF law which we
frequently observe in these reports OF ten.
neraturc and death rates-that week Of
law temperature produces rise in NOR
toiity the week following" In our climate
Il would probably be difficult to ind .
more frequent cause OF serious ailments
than taking cold. Whatever weak place
We have, whatever constitutional disorder
va be subject to, cold will surely discover.
We take colds because our vitality Ia too

Total wheat,

The total amount OF corn exported was
1856, 4O3, 900 bushels. The exports during
the first three years were below an aver
ace, and It may, therefore, be proper TO in
ciude the fourth year (lS7l-72) in the ay-
erage, which gives an average yearly ex,
port for these four years OF l3,lSy,OVO
bushels, while the last three years exhibit
an average export Of 6S,G04 900 IN in.
crease of 420 per. cent. OF the combined
expoH OF wheat, corn and -four we find
the average yearly export for the first three
years 10 have been 50, g29, 900 bushels, and
Tor the last three years l43, las, 600 bushels
-au increase Of 1888 per cent The vast
increase in the worlds supply Of bread
stuffs must have an important effect upon
values, unless the demand grows in cor
responding ratio. The world is certainly
growing, and its population must be fed,
But whether its demands shall tax our ut
most efforts can not be foretold. But 1t Is
clear that the supply Of breadstutfs, as com.
pared with the demand, Is much larger
than It was q few years ago, and the re-
suit from this changed relation be.
tween supply and demand must BIO
"a lower range OF values than has
prevailed for some years past-not that
there will be an immediate change in
prices, as they are at present exception
ally low, but as general proposition
prices must range lowerthan Of late years.
Aside from thelimportance OF corn as an
article OF export, il maintains Q superior
place in our domestic exchanges, as 0 few
facts compiled from the returns Of the De.
partment Of Agriculture will readily show.
Tho acreage planted is reported to have
been 81, 369, 900 acres, an area % 70 So per
cent greater than ever before cultivated in
corn, and the yield IL, estimated at from
1900, 0O0, 900 TO 1900, 0o0, 900 bushels, and
from present Indications IL probable that
the higher figures will be fully realized.
The worth OF this crop vi market prices
may be put down at $500, 900, 900, and attcr
allowing one.third, the usual estimate for
seed and home consumption, it furnishes
from si00,000,000 10 Si50,0o0, 600 to the
producers, transporters and merchants.
we may add that corn Is the base OF the
hog crop, and that other product, whisky,
neither OF which, can 1t be denied, Is an
interest OF very great proportions.

The connell.vliIe Coke Field.

Pittsburgh Evening Telegraph. NJ lf q iH
Reports from the Connellsville coke
field continue to be encouraging. The s.
500 coke ovens arc in full blast, and the
trade is improving as Is shown by the fol-
lowing taken from the american Aanutac-
turcr OF last week: OF late prospects arc
improving in this trade, owing to the up
ward tendency OF the iron business, and
the consequent increasing demand. The
Missouri Furnace Company, at st. Louis,
has started, and made large contract for
coke 100000 bushels reported), and the
Cleveland Rolling Mill Company, also in
carloads OF from 600 to 700 bushels each,
per day. The last New York Engineer and
Mining Journal has the following notice;
"Somc weeks ago We noted the
fact that one OF the q. Crown Point
furnaces was using coke along with
anthracite. Now we learn that these fur
naces have made contractsfor years sup
ply OF coke at S. so, as against anthracite
at 81 50per ton. The smaller OF these two
furnaces (l6fx65' using coke and anthra.
cite Is producing 80 per cent more iron
than the large furnace (1stx85) which Is
using anthracite exclusively, orc and lime:
stone being the same in each case. The
Greenwood Iron Works, in New Jersey,
has also made contract for coke for pre-
liminary trial, which, II successful, will
load to the permanent adoption OF coke in
that and other furnaces in the same dis.
trict. Coke is now being delivered free on
board cars At Oonnellspille at ono dollar
per ton. Efforts, which promise to be
successful, arc being made to create mar
ket on the lakes for Connellsville coke"

Tho vastly increased harvests that have
