turn around and buy an ounce and one
eighth of silver, which in India in dealing
with the yyot is worth in Rupees SLID
Thus on bushel of wheat bought in India
for 81. 90 and sold in London for 80 cents,
there is a margin of % cents. 1t is precise
" the same with cotton. Il is for this rea-
son. when wheat in Bombay is quoted at
81 90 per bushel, it i. quoted in the United
States at about 90 cents. It is in reality
but the difference between gold and silver
values caused by silver's demonetization,.
Some will argue that one can raise wheat
here as cheap as they can in India. Yes,
if your laborer can afford to live on from
to 10 cents per day as the Vyots do IN
India.
There is much pathos wasted in talking
about the pauper labor Of Europe and
tariff of nearly 100 per cent is levied to pro-
tect the American laborers from it.
But these self same humanitarians de-
nounce those as cranks and fanatics, even
worse. as thieves. who seek by securing the
free unlimited coinage of silver to protect
the farmer and planter from the blightng
competition of the cents day labor OF
Britian's Indian empire.
In this connection a table is given COM
piled from the official statistics of foreign
commerce for 1861, showing beyond doubt
or controversy the relation between silver
and the great agricultural staples of the
country. 1t shows with what fatal regu
larity wheat, cotton and corn have declined
in price as silver apparently went down; II
establishes that if free coinage can be had,
silver must necessarily rise to its old rela'
ton with gold, and the prices of these pro-
duct. would correspondingly increase, re-
sulting in restoring the prosperity to the
farmer aud planter that vanishes when the
fatal step of demonetizing silver was taker
, in 1872.
In the home market.

The coming value of an ounce of pure

The coming value of an ounce of pure
silver ia 81 90.
With these figures in mind some fair es-
innate may be made of the loss to the Amer
lean farmers and planters from the demone-
tization Of silver.
Il il estimated that the wheat crop OF
1891 was 600, 100000 bushels; and that the
cotton crop was 2,5OO,OOO,OO0 pounds.
Upon these two items alone the loss is
taking the difference between the price OF
wheat with silver $129 and 90 cents per
ounce-wheat is AZ cents per bushel and
tho difference between the price of cotton
with silver rs the same figures which is l2.7
cents per pound as follows:
600 900, 600 bus. wheat-loss, 42 cts.
per bus .....'S@o-iOVViVVu
! 9. 500 000, 600 pounds cotton loss u
cents per pound 5O0,OOOOOe
Total loss wheat and cotton in '9l. s552 900 O0G
Startling as these figures are, showing a
loss of S552, ,O00,OO to the American farmer
for the year 1891 alone, though the low
price of wheat and cotton caused by the
rise of the price of gold from the demoneti'
cation Of silver, they do not exaggeratt
the situation in the least.
The loss from all sources to the American
Agriculturist in 1891, arising solely out oi
the debased condition of silver, is no lcs'
than 81, 900, 100000. Is it any wonder thai
the farmers of the west and the planters o.
the south are heart and soul with the min
ers of the mountains, in demanding thai
silver shall be restored to what it was be
fore it was secretly and fraudulently demon
etized in 1873; and that at the instigatlor
of the bank of England?
True the reduction of the tariff is Of vita
importance and one of the Fundamental
principles of Democracy. But the restora
tion of silver to its former place with gold
is essential to the welfare and happiness o
all wage earners throughout the length anc
breadth of the land.

Cures Others

Will cure You, is a true statement Of the
action Of AYERS Sarsaparilla, when
taken for diseases originating in impure
blood; but, while this assertion is true Of
AYERS Sarsaparilla, as thousands can
attest, it cannot be truthfully applied to
other preparations, which unprincipled
dealers will recommend, and try to i'm
pose upon you, as "just as good as
Ayers" Take Ayers Sarsaparilla and
Ayers only, if you need n blood-puriier
and would be benefited permanently.
This medicine. for nearly fifty years,
has enjoyed reputation, and made
record for cures, that has never been
equaled by other preparations. AYERS
Sarsaparilla eradicates the taint OF he
reditary scrofula and other blood dis
eases from the system, and it has, deser-
vedly, the confidence OF the people.

Lulled by the cricket and the droning bee,

While sheep bells tingle in the dusty fold.

LONDON, August 27.--All night long vol
unteer parties kept up work at Park Slip
pit, the scene of the disastrous explosion
in Wales yesterday. At 6 o'clock this
morning they had penetrated 800 yards
into the main shaft. In all this distance
not a sign of life was discovered. Here
and there was the body of a miner, but his
attitude invariably showed that death had
come suddenly. Some of the men had
died in the very act of using their picks
Ten bodies were recovered, Of men who
did not have a seconds warning of their
fate. The bodies of two men were dis
covered, however, who had apparently
made frantic attempt at escape. Later
dispatches received at noon, say while the
band Of rescuers were working in the pit
sound was heard which caused the men
suddenly TO suspend. Soon a repetition
was heard, low and weak, but indicating
life beyond the great wall of rock and
debris. The work of rescue is now being
pressed with herculean energy.
FOUND AT LAST.
At half past one this afternoon the drift
was finally penetrated and thirty-nine im-
prisoned miners we're rescued. The scene
when they reached the surface was indie
scribable. Wives, sweethearts, sisters,
brothers, and in some cases fathers and
mothers were in waiting, frantic to see if
their loved ones were among the saved
The work of clearing the galleries is still
being pushed in the hopes of saving 9TH
ers. One of the rescued miners said: "a
crowd of us got together in the leYel after
the explosion, and we could hear the
flames roaring through the mine. After
time we tried to get out, but we're driven
back by the sulphur fumes. Three men
sought to rush through, but lost their
lives, dying where they fell, as it was im-
possible for us to save them"
Late this afternoon another rescuing
party saved eight more imprisoned miners.
Volunteer rescuers state they have sig
nailed another party of imprisoned men,
who, by striking on the wall, signalled that
there were IA Of them waiting to be dug

Human Hrutes at WorlT.

PUEBLO, Col, August 27.-Billy Woods,
a ehampioA fighter, last night knocked out
Billy Groves, youngster from New Mex
leo, in two rounds. Both men were in good
condi ton. They fought carefully until
near the end, when Groves got in a savage
direct blow. This angered Woods, and he
hammered heavily, knocking down Groves,
who rose in time to save himself. The sec
ond round was short, consisting of several
clinches and upper cuts, and was finished
when Groves, recovering from a clinch, was
knocked backward to the floor. He laid
there until time was called. A large crowd
witnessed the contest.
