Now here are the mines producing moro
than double as much as they produced in 1873,
and the countries Of Europe that have de-
mone,ized silver Offering all their immense
stock for sale with no buyer but America and
the East is il surprising that the market
value OF silver has declined? What shall we
do about it? Shall We continue to buy and
coin all that is offered?
The Director of the Mint estimates the silver
Of the world used for currency at 50. 94O. 100000
(Forum for June. 1892, p. 44S), all OF which
that is not wanted for money by the East the
Latin Union and South America will certainly
come here 10 which is 10 DO added the an
nually increasing output of the mines and
that part of it now used in manufactures and
the arts that will be tempted into the market
by rising price. Can We buy and keep at
par with gold this immense sum- Ii seems
foolish 70 say so.
We have in the Treasury of the United
States $27l. 1854. l93.s4 of gold, of which Sl75.-
356, 729 is held against the coin certificates
that have been issued and the rest is held as
an offset against the s345, 100000 of green
backs in the hands Of the world. Suppose.
when We are issuing our silver certificates
against the enormous quantity Of silver We
shall be compelled to buy, Europe makes alarge
claim Of gold on this country, and the holders
of the silver certificates come TO the Treasury
demanding gold for them. Our petty stock will
soon be exhausted and we shall have to avail
ourselves Of our privilege and offer silver.
That fact is at once telegraphed to every com
mercial centre Of the world. and tho United
States is at once declared to be a country
doing business on a silver basis. The moment
this occurs, gold disappears-ri to pre-
there we are, and may a kind
Providence take care of us when it occurs.

a Portion OF That State Swept Ovor by
Another Disastrous Storm.
CurRRyvAlE, Kan, April 4.-This
section OF Kansas was again visited by
terrible stcria. This time it was a
genuine cyclone. 4 funnel-shaped cloud
in the afternoon was seen approaching
the town from the southwest. It was
accompanied BY . deep, roaring sound,
and as it drew hear it could be seen
turning and twisting about with ter
rible velocity. 1t Travelled with in
credible speed and barely missed the
town, passing one mile to the south
west. It demolished six houses in that
vicinity, killing two people and fatally
injuring another. The house of
John Reeves, q farmer. was torn
to pieces by the cyclone. Mrs. Reeves
was killed outright and MIR. Reeves was
fatally injured. Mrs. Perry Nixon, the
wife of another farmer in the vicinity,
was also fatally injured in the demoli-
ton of her house. Mrs. e. r. Lawson
of this city was struck by lightning
during the storm and was instantly
killed. The damage to barns, out
houses, fences, ETC., is very great. Re-
ports from various places in the vicin-
ity of Cherryville report that q severe
storm ragged there but no further fatali-
ties are reported. Much damage to
crops and farm property is reported.
