Whd VIII AnewSr:

How strange it is that some people are
so fearful of free coinage OF silver.
Gan the silver Of the world will be
dumped into the United States" so they
say. If such a thing were possible what
harm would it do? The National grange
and the Ohio State grange demanded $40
per capita of circulation.
Both the Ocala and the Omaha Ma
tiUnal alliances demanded $50 per capita.
The Ohio state alliance At Gallon was
handicapped by the tools OF Wall street
and only the free coinage Of silver was
demanded. We. have men who claim
that free coinage of silver viii give us al!
the money we need. Poor superficial
s'critics,'' are they capable of having
consecutive thoughts upon any n sub
ject? The entire silver Product Of the
United States is placed at 44,c00,0 900
ounces annually. This will make s79,-
34l, $50: which will add S1.15 per capita
annually to OUR circulation. Our popu-
| lation is increasing at d faster rate thar
| that so how long would it take to get
even $40 per capita in circulation?
Putting the entire world output Of sill
yer at double that Of the United States,
land that is as high as any one puts it)
let it all be dumped into the United
States and coined into dollars, would
only add $s.30 per capita annually to our
circulation.
Will some Of these men who talk so
wisely and confidently, put their mathe-
NAUTICAL faculties at work and tell us how
far in the future it will be before We will
have the required amount of circulation
coming the entire worlds product Of sill
yer?
Yes, we will let them add the en-
tire worlds output Of gold annually t.
this, and then tell us how long we will
have to wait to get $40 per capita.
Come, gentlemen, don't all speak u,
once. Our columns are open and oul
readers will be a~nxiously waiting to heal
from some of you. d..
One more question. If the entire
worlds output OF both gold and silver
cannot bring our circulation up to tht
proper quantity, what is to be used to
make up the deficiency? Who is to ISSUE
it and how are the people to get it;
Let us have some light on this subject

The D,n.rxpce in Flag stones,

Funny, isn't it, about these flag
stones? Did you notice? After the
rain-you can see it most any rainy
day-some parts Of the stone will be
wet as can be. and other parts on the
same level will be quite dry, as though
they had been wiped with a rag just
moist. Sometimes n flag will get
your shoes all wet and the next will be
a dry one. It's just q difference in the

and the water is all absorbed, and the
next one close grained, and the water
stays on top until it e%vaporates.
