DissOvery OF silver MaMes
There is q silver mine near Sarhad, In
Afghan territory, which has q curious
history. Three men, says an exchange,
were sent from that country to Cabul,
the residence Of the Ameer, to be exc.
cuted for an offense against the State.
They told the Ameer that if he would
let them of they would tell him where
he could find abundant supplies of silver.
The Ameer deferred the execution and
sent them under guard to Irkansham,
where they went to work digging.
They and the two men who were put
to work with them dug for 20 days,
finding nothing. The Ameers officer
told them at length that they could dig
for seven days more, and il they did not
find silver within that time the sentence
Of death would be carried out.
The next day they came to very rich
vein Of silver, aud now about 100 men
are employed in the mine. which was
visited recently by an English traveller.

Anew Road for Atiantic-Coa.t Line.

The Atlantic-Coast Line has made pre-
liminary survey tor new railroad from
Wadesboro'. on its Chersw and Salisbury
branch, to Winston, n. O.. The road. says
the Baltimore sun. will be ninety miles
long and penetrate the valley of the Yad-
kin river, which has one of the most re-
markable water-pOwers in the country,
the fall being about 200 feet To the mile.
At Winston the new road will connect
with the Roanoke and Southern road, q
branch of the Norfolk and Western, which
has It's terminus at that place. The
building of this connecting line
will give the Norfolk and Western a SOUTH
ern outlet for the products of the Poca-
hontas coal-fields, and therefore the Nor
folk ana Western Is in close sympathy
with the enterprise and will aid in its con-
struction and operation. II is said that
the Coast Line and Norfolk and Western
endorse mutually for q term of years the
bonds for the construction of this new
link. When completed the road will be
owned and operated by the Atlantic Coast
Line. The work OF construction will be
commenced as soon as the locating surveys
are completed and will be pushed to a
rapid completion.

SATURDAY. DECEMBER 81. 1892
Cnrrencv and CroDs.

p In discussing IN the United States SEN
ate the bill to suppress dealings in options
and futures Senator PEFFEB. Of Kansas.
took occasion recently TO say that whilst
be concurred in the conclusions OF senator's
who favored that bill as to the evils which
1t was intended TO remove, he did not be-
lieve that the depression in agriculture
was altogether due TO dealing in options.
MIR. PETER is right. IL the low prices
of agricultural products were wholly
chargeable TO dealing in options and
futures. Congress ought TO make haste
10 do away with all such dealings. But If
those low prices are mostly chargeable to
n constantly diminishing supply OF gold,
coupared with the increase Of business IN
the commercial world. then the remedy
for the evil is to be sought elsewhere. II,
for example. il would require more bushels
of wheat or pounds of cotton to pay oil
The national debt now than 1t would have
required twenty-five years ago, though
che national debt has been reduced IN
thirty years BY thousand million dollars
then there is something wrong In our tnan-
cial system.
The monometallsts will reply that the
prices of silver and gold are regulated by
the demand and the supply of the same.
But when we see that silver dollars worth
intrinsically from 60 to 10 cents each, are
kept at par by legislation, taxes. &c, we
must conclude that there is another factor
than the law OF supply and demand in
yolved in this matter. The fact is that II
Congress were tomorrow to pass law
providing that silver dollars should not be
o legal tender for any sort of debts. dues.
or demands the price Of those dollars
would at once fall TO the price of silver
bullion, and they would become mere
commodity.
Mr.. PETER said that the total number of
bushels Of corn. wheat, oats. barley. rye.
and buck wheat raised in the United States
in 1857 was 1929 729. 400. valued at Sl,2Si.-
OS7. SO0-an average of 96 cents per bushel.
In 1857 the total production of the same
crops was 1850, i57, 900 bushels, valued at
81. 20i, 239, $40 OF an average value of only
Is cents per bushel. In other words, II
would have required more than twice as
many bushels of ;he crops named to have
would have required TO pay off the same
amount Of that debt in 1867. The yield of
those crops was nearly double es much in
1887 as in 1867, but the total value of the
same was less
We ought to add that there were fuctua-
tlons in the prices of the crops named, but
the general result of the matter was as MIR.
PKFFER has stated. He says that in his
judgment the diminution and enlarge
ment OF the circulating money of the
country had something to do with these
huctuating prices. 1t would seem that the
causes no named ought to be credited with
some of the fluctuations in prices that we
have named; but after all is SAID that can
be SAID on that side of the question we
conclude that it was the diminishing guam
tity of gold as compared with the COM
modities which we're TO be measured by
that sole standard of values which was re-
Rponsible for the fluctuations in question.
Th is a subject worthy of consideration.

Crisp and Cleveland.

In On interview with New York World
reporter Mr.. CRISP said that his visit IL
MIR. CLEVELAND was in no sense prear.
ranged that he went to New York on
business and thought he ought to call on
the President-eiect. as he would have done
when he went to New York to attend the
Reform Clubs dinner if he had not been
compelled to hasten back to Washington.
On the subject of an extra session Mr..
CmsP accidentally or incidentally said
what will be taken as an expression Of the
views of the Presldent-eiect in regard to
IN extra session. Mr.. CRISP said
my views on the subject have already been
made known, think should betray a cUnn-
dence II I repeated what might have been said
upon the subject by Mr. Cleveland. / have
thought II would be wise 10 call a special SEES
sion soon after the regular session ended,
organize the House, name committees 10
look after the tari0, silver, and other press
ing questions, and adjourn until such time as
the President might deem 1t wise 10
call us together again. This would afford
opportunity TO give the subjects upon which We
are 10 pass ample attention and consideration
The committees would have a chance to sit when
they pleased, prepare bills for submission 10 N
House, and thus much time would be gained.
There Is a strong sentiment IN favor Of this plan,
but again there is opposition 10 1t. Tho Presi-
dent Is the one 20 decide the question, and Ihave
no doubt no viii determine II wisely and for the
best interests OF tue country aud the party"
We guess. Yankee fashion. that Mr..
CLEVELAND fsvors the policy thus outlined
by Mr.. Gasp. A session in the fall would
be unobjectionable. A session III the
spring would be highly Objectionable.
Indeed, II a spring session be called. it will
probably spin out till midsummer. We
quote again;
MI. Crisps friends agreed that tho IN Getting
between him and the Presidsnt-elect, and also
With Croker. bad been OF the most satisfactory
character, and claimed that Mr.. Cleveland would
