WAsHEeroS D. c., August IA statement
has been prepared at the treasury depart
ment in regard to the amounts of money in
circulation on the LIST of July of the years
1850, 1865, 1885, 1889. 1881.
All the statements furnished are mads
Upon precisely the same basis: The amount
OF each kind of money in the treasury, and
the remaider is given as the amount in eircu-
latlon- There is nothing omitted from the
statement which should appear there except
minor coins tniekels and pennies), and they
are left out of all the reports because of
the difficulty in estimating the amount of
them IN use. As the amount at the present
time Is certainly greater than in the earlier
years, their omission will not be unfaForably
criticised. The amount of money IN circu-
latiOn in 1850 was about S4S5, OO0, 900 and the
amount per capita was SlS-S5. In 1855 there
was $723. OOO,OOo IN circulation and the per
capita amount was $1Q62. Twenty years
later the circulation was over s., 292. 0OG, 600
and the PER capita was S23-O2, while on the
LIST Of January last the amount was nearly
Sl.529 900, 600 with S24.1O as the per capita
allowance, the highest in the history OF the
United States. Owing to shipment of gold
TO foreign countries there has been decline
since January l. 1891, not only in the per
capita amount but IN the total circulation
On the LIST inst, notwithstanding the outflow
Of gold. the amount was about 81, 500, 900, 600
and the amount per capita was S2d57.

Platform Adopted.

SPRISGEIELD, o., August S.-The platform
adopted by the peoples party state conven-
ton, and with which a full state ticket was
launched. is. in substances:
''We hold that labor IS the basis of all
wealth, happiness and progress, ana must have
equal protection by the law; in the organiza-
ton of our party we know no north. south,
east or west, and We are determined that the
government shall be so administered as to
secure equal rights to all the people; we de-
mand that taxation, national, state and
municipal, shall not be used to build up one
interest or class at the expense of another;
We demand the abolition OF national banks
as banks VI issue and as substitute for ma
tional bank notes We demand that full lega-
tender treasury notes be issued in sufficient
volume to conduct the business of the cOun-
try on a cash basis; we demand the payment
of all bonds of the government instead of re-
funding them, in such money they were
originally made payable; we demand gov
eminent ownership of all the means of trans
portatlon and communication between and
by the people of the United States; we favor
liberal pensions to all honorably discharged
union soldiers of the late civil war and gen.
erous care of their widows and orphans, and
demand that the difference between the value
of gold and greenbacks at the date of pay
lnent be made equal to gold so as to place
the soldier on the same footing as the bond
holder has been.
a woman's suffrage plank is included IN
the platform. The platform favors govern
ment loans directly to individuals; favOrs free
coinage of silver opposes alien ownership of
lands, and demands that congress devise
means of obtaining all lands already owned
by foreign syndicates: also demands that all
lands held by railroads and other corpora
tions, in excess of what is actually needed.
be reclaimed by the government and held
for actual settlers onlyi demands graduated
tax on incomes.
We demand the enactment and rigid en-
torcement OF laws for the suppression of all
forms of gambling In futures and all agri-
cultural products; favOrs the election of ali
United States senators by the peculiar vote
of the people; demands the rigid enforce
ment of the laws against the adulteration
and cOunterfeiting of all food products; de-
mands compulsory education and free school
books; demands the forfeiture of the charter
of the Standard Oil company.
A resolution adopted, favoring govern
ment or state control of the sale, manufac-
ture, importation and expectation of spirit
uOus liquors, was recommended to the ma
honal convention as the solution of the
liquor problem.

A NICKEL SHAVE.
It Was the BARRIERS second Day. but He
Was Very Busy

II was the BARRIERS second Day, but He
Was Very Busy.
Where is this 5-cent barber shop %
said an ancient gentleman with q
grizzly beard of about a weeks growth
and with q hair-caressed collar, as he
stopped near a dusty BARRIERS pole on
Tehama street, near fourth yesterday
afternoon.
Here you are. sir. Step right in
you're next, sir, called q CHEEKY voice
from an open door. The hairy gentle
man assembled the three creaking stairs
that led to the door, crossed the bend
ing veranda, and was then ushered into
the barber shop" by very clean
looking man, whose eyes twinkied with
mirth, and whose lips were continually
stretched in quiet smiles. It was ONLY
e small shop; a 5-cent shop, in fact.
and 1t was evident that it was a shay
ing shop to which men went because
they needed a shave and not because
they wanted to enjoy a nap in a soft
chair. The chair itself was quite an
institution. Once upon q fine it
might have been new, but that must
have been when the water came M to
Montgomery street. Although it was
battered and worn, and though the
stutfing did protest against further
service, and had shaved its wav
through the green upholstering, still
1t was better than one would expect to
see in nickel-hmit establishment.
small wavy-g lass mirror hung upon the
wall in front of the chair, and in the
corner of the room, on an old @what-
not" stand, was a razor. Upon a
washstand were q water-basin. a lamD
and shaving mug filed with Iather.
On the floor near the washstand was q
pitcher of cold water.
The victim with the grizzly heard
left his hat in the hall. climbed into
the chair, closed his ewes and prepared
for the sacrifice The merry barber
lathered him well, then scraped him
scientifically, rubbed French chalk
over the old fellows jaws, combed his
hair and turned him out as good as
new.
Haven't drawn q drop of blood
yet, said the barber, as he flashed
his razor through the air and yelled
-NextF at a young laborer who
was falling asleep in one of the two
chairs.
How do you expect to make it nav %
asked Chronicle reporter, who had
dropped in
well, calculate there are from
IO,OOO 10 lO,OOO men IN this town who
are pretty hard up. Some time they
will ali want to shave. Cost 'em only
q nickel. This is only nv second dav.
I've got no gas, but I'll light that
lamp, put it on q chair, and there YOU
are
do you give the victims life insur-
ance policies? ?"
~Oh. no: they're all right. Razor
NAV mil a LITTLE hrk tbatS. III =I4
Well get along. I rent the house /;
rent out the other three rooms, and I
sleep here in the shop. Furnish clean
towels, too Some fellows are particu-
lar. you know. Drop in again"
The 5-cent barber Is named Richards.
He is q bright man, and is certainly
possessed of q funny disposition, for
judging from his ever-apparent smile,
he seems to think the whole thing a
joke on the communication Fran
cisco CIir0niGfe.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, August "a freight train
on the West Shore railroad broke in two. be-
tween Port Byron and Montezuma; and the
fast passenger train No. dashed into the
rear. The brakeman went back toward the
passenger train, but the night was SO foggy
that he was not seen.
The fireman of the passenger train was
killed Ten Italians eE route to Niagara
Falls IN the smoking car were killed, and
thirty or forty others IN the same car in
jured.
The train was burned, except three sleep
ing cars, and it IS supposed that nearly all
the passengers were rescued. The injured
were brought to Syracuse and are being cared
Tor Ihe trainmen say more killed are in the
wreck Dense fog prevailed over the Mon
tezuma marshes and enveloped the trains
and tracks The scene at the wreck is de-
scriOed as terrible.
The passenger tram which ran into the
freight was the-St. Louis express which leaves
here at 1:5S a m. The train was running at
a high rate of speed and ran into the freight
three miles west of Port Byron, near what is

Report of the State Board of Agri-
culture


TOPEKA, August The crop throughout
the state, with the exception of small areas
On fiat uplands and on bottoms along some
Of the streams in several of the eastern coun-
lies, is in a tiourishing condition.
The area planted to corn this year is 5, 209,-
80 acres, a decrease of $50 per cent, or
166.64l acres from the area planted last year.
This decrease no doubt having been absorbed
oy the largely increased area soWn to wheat
during the fall of 1880.
Oats in some of the eastern counties have
suffered from excessive moisture Weeds
and some rust have lowered the condition in
places, out the damage is reported light
The greatest draw back to the crop has been
the rank growth of the straw, causing It to
lodge badly in localities. Too frequent
showers are making considerable difficulty
IN harvesting.
The area sown to oats this year is 297. 159
acres, showing an increase over last year of
5.6S per cent, or SO. 7SS acres. The estimated
yield per acre for the state is thirty bushels
making total product of IS, 914, 10 bushels.
The number of acres seeded to fax this
year as compared with last year shows a gain
Of 63 per cent, or IA, Gal acres. The bulk
Of this crop is grown in the eastern counties.
Assessors returns show Its acreage during
The last hVe years to have increased 160 per
cent.
Assessors returns of live stock show s52.-
i81 horses in the state; an increase over last
year of 1876.
Mulch COWS, ESQ. 327; an increase of Is, CPD

A LOT more foolish people have gone
OFF prying about the icebergs to find
and bring home the north pole or q
splinter Of it. 1t may be all right, and
laudable, and brave, but the pole isn't
going to do anyone any good if they do
find it, and the chances are that some
of the members of the expedition will
be left up there so stiff and cold in
death that they won't even be able to
arise at the forthcoming sound of the
final trump. The rest will have frozen
ears and chilblains, and things any
how, and the whole affair is decidedly
expensive If anybody is dying to ex-
plore, why don't he explore around
some place where he may find some
thing of value.
