The Coupons.
The last circular issued by Jno. A. Han

The last circular issued by Jno. A. Ham
bleton and Co., of Baltimore says:
''In Virginia bonds consols were in
demand for London account, advancing to
43 ex.coupon. The foreign demand for
Virginia consols is clearly Indicative of
the disposition of the English bondholders,
and it is evident they have by no means
given up the fight. We have had letters
this week from large holders in this country
strongly approving of the proposed deposit
of bonds with one of our trust companies
to be forwarded to Virginia to prove and
collect the coupons"
Referring to the coupon situation - the
Wythville Enterprise of the l4th says:
We learn from a perfectly reliable source
that Mr.. Royal has advertised those
gentlemen in this county who paid their
taxes with coupons to give no attention
whatever to the proceedings in the State
court against them; in other words, to let
judgment against them go by default and
when the sheriff comes with his execution
to tender him coupons in payment thereof.
Should the sheriff decline to receive such
coupons, so rendered, and proceed to levy
upon the taxpayers property and sell it,,
they are farther advised to buy it in and
report the facts to the counsel of the
bondholders, who will at once institute
suits against the officers for damages.
Mr.. Royal further assures his clients that
Mr.. CoUper's indemnity can be safely re-
lied on, as the bondholders are determined
to protect those who use coupons; other
wise their sale in the future would be
checked if not destroyed.

Rich Nuggets.


The Washington Republican, furnishes
the following rich nuggets for the Dem
ocratic statesmen to analyze:
Four million dollars taken from the
pockets of the people and paid as premiums
to bondhOlders. That is the way Demo
cratic administration manages the finances
of the people
The estimates of the Secretary of the
Treasury for the coming fiscal year are
$4,000 900 more that the appropriations
for the present year, and yet this is the era
Of reform and economy.
Two hundred and SiXty-three million
dollars accumulated in the treasury under
this administration by its policy of con-
traction and the bondho.ders paid a pre-
MUM of from eight to tOentyfOur per
cent for their bonds. What do the people
think of it?
Thirty four months of Democratic rule
results in piling up $642 SAC, 900 in the
treasury of the United States, paralyzing
trade, diminishing values, reducing the Cir
culation to less than $ll per capita. and
nearly producing panic
The river and harbor bill vetoed with its
proposed outlay of $ll. 600 and Wall
street bondholders paid ST., 400 600 for
$40 900 900 worth of bonds so IS to put
that much money in circulation. What do
the:people say to that kind of work?
sThe same number of bushels of wheat.
corn. and oats last year was worth to the
farmers 1920, 900, 900 less than they were in
the last year of Republican rule. This was
because of the policy of contraction
adopted by the administration. How do
the farmers like it?
Only 1924. DOC. 900 expended last year for
silver when S4S 200 was authorized.
The refusal to purchase this silver, on the
coinage of which into silver dollars over
$4,000, 900 would have been made. rendered
il necessary to buy $25 DOC, 600 OF bonds. on
which premiums of over $4,000000 were
Maid. thus making differenc of So 900 600
against the people. What is the verdict of
the people?

Waynesboro Items.
Reported for the vIRGINIAN.l

~
Some of the business men of Waynesboro
are discussingtle propriety of establishing
canning establishment. to be operated III
connection with the Waynesboro Cream
cry. Mr.. Wright. of the firm Of Wright
Sc Grattan, has been urging the matter for
some time. This gentleman is one of the
most energetic. WideaWake. business men
of the town. If parties who are able to
do so will take hold of his schemes and give
him the necessary financial aid, he will
build up industries that will be a credit to
the town. Mr.. Wright is not a visionary
man, but only advocates such industries
as have brought success TO other cOn-
munities. BY all meaus let US have the
cannery.
Mr.. Plain. late from Maryland. who
lives several miles low Waynestoro, we
learn, will establish a cannery on his own
account. He already has secured a hun
dred acres to be put in tomatoes the COM
ing season.
The Wayn esboro Ministries will give an
entertainment in Masonic Hall on the
night of the 9th. Proceeds to be used
for seating the hall.
Messrs. Ellison & Austin are always on
the qui vive to purchase ali kinds of pro
duce that has any market value. They
have handled this ST ason over 1000 tons of

On the 18th. ut, Miss Bette Wilkeson,
the tunnel keeper, was married to Ollie
Woodson. an employee of the G. & O..
Rev. Baggs officiating. Supper was served
and then they danced. Some of the
Waynesboro boys were there and say they
had ''joly good time.
Picking up an old copy of the Spectator,
published August 20. 1851. we were struck
with the following figures taken from the
Richmond Enquirer:
Wheat purchase al the City Mills for
the year ending
June, 1s47. (crop of 1s46) bushels 6l3. 900
q 1848. (crop of 1S47) . 100000
IS 1S49. (crop of 1s4S) 8 100000
{. 1850. (crop { f 1Si9) g 1,074,0o0
g 1851. (crop Of 1850 1913, 100
AS West Virginia was then included in
Virginia we take the amount of wheat
produced by both states, as reported by
the Government Statistician for 1856 viz.
4,326.000 bushels. Has the yield of wheat
in Virginia increased or decreased? The
comparison is not complete, but the fig
ures are interesting.

Shirley was on his way to school his horse
