What the silverites desire now is silver
monometallism; that is what the free coin

and silver moumetallism means "a debascd
huctuatiug currency like that of Mexico
and the Central and South American
states none of which is prosperous.
What the farmers must have to. be pros
porous is a soupd currency Joseph fl.
Real, the chairman Of the last national
agricultural convention, has just ad-
dressed a circular letter ITO the Farmers
of the United States" in which he says;
you were the first 10 suffer from the
present silver law. With slight eXcep-
tions your products have steadily de-

wheat reaching the lowest figures ever
known, and cotton, corn and wool selling
below the cost of production. The whole
country has been taxed almost to the
destruction of values as well as credit for
the benefit of an interest not one-fftieth
as great as yours. and far inferior to many
other industries
"The statement that a class or combi-
nation of men exists with a special inter
est in the supremacy of gold is so silly
that it would not deserve notice but for
the harm even a weak lie may do. The
hnancier and capitalist can only obtain
profit by the active employment of gold
or other currency and not by hoard
ing it,
your position on the currency and
tariff questions has long been misrepre-
sented, and now that serious consequences
have arisen from legislation claimed to
be favored by you, it is time for
you to call halt. You want that which
every honest industry wants-wise, sound
and wholesome legislation, sound cur
rency."
A good many farmers favor the free coin
age of silver at the existing ratio because
they think that free coinage would be
beneficial to them, though they can give
no reason why they think so. Others IA
vor free coinage not because they favor
silver, but because they think money
could be borrowed at less rate of inter
est if the volume of the currency were
increased They are not welded to sill
yer. An increase in the amount of the
currency by any other means would suit
them just as well.
But it is important that the currency
shall be sound, and a sound currency is
impossible if the coinage of silver is made
free at the ratio of 10 to /.

The Coming Motive Power.

Recently the MORNING NEWS noted
and commented upon the claim of a
young New Yorker, that he had invented
a system of transmitting electric cur
rents which reduced the leakage" or
loss of energy in transit, to a minimum
At the time it was said if this had actu-
ally been accomplished the day was not
far distant when steam as motive power
for manufacturing purposes would pass
out of general use; that separate steam
engines for driving manufacturing plants
would give place to electric motors re-
ceiving their power from a central plant
probably miles away. The establish
ment of great power station at Niagara
Falls, to distribute to Buffalo and other
cities within a large radius the power
taken from the great falls by turbine
wheels was referred to, with the remark
that practical plan for transmitting tho
power long distances would make the
power station at the falls gold mineo
to its owners.
The Scientific American says the
transmission of power by electricity is
now an accomplished fact" and it only
remains to "solve the problem of produc-
ing power economically in central sta
tons OF the Niagara scheme it says
AT Niagara Falls the project of provid-
ing power for factories of tho largest size
will soon be accomplished. An industrial
city will be erected about the nucleus of
the power works, electric railroads will
be run from them, the lighting of neigh
boring cities will be provided for, and
Buffalo will possibly be the recipiento of
many thousands of horse power from the
same place"
But Niagara cannot furnish the whole
country with power; under the most favor
able conditions that obtain the limit of Nj
agara's territory will be two or three hun
dred miles Other central power stations
must be erected elsewhere to supply
power to the competitors of the manu-
facturers who are supplied from the
great falls, and these plants, the SCien-
tiic American says, will be established in
the coal fields Coal, when extracted
from the veins and lying on the floor of
the mine" represents but little; but
when it has been hoisted out, screened,
]
otherwise handled, Its value is greatly
! enhanced" Therefore, the power plant
must be erected where the coal is, un-
foreground in the mine. BY estab-
! fishing an electric plant in the heart
| of a coal mine, the fuel account would
| be almost nothing, and a rival of
| Niagara Falls might be established.
| From some coal mine in the heart of
! Pennsylvania power might be distributed
/ over great area, including cities and
railroads on all sides The culm heap
would disappear, ashes would be stored
in the empty chambers and future geolo-
/ gists would have these ashes to deal with
as examples of igneous changes, while
! fossil men and boilers would interest the
arch9ologist of the fuelless days yet to
/ come"

Mr.. Pierce, of Tennessee.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem0.
Mr. Pierce Of Tennessee. who undertook to
speak for the Democratic party in the Chi
cagO silver convention, was a member Of the
last congress, and never lost an opportunity
TO make nuisance of himself. He has but
one idea and while doubtless honest in that
like men whose intellectual furniture is linn
tied TO one idea his perspectives. to put il
mildly, are very BAD he certainly is not
authorized to speak for the Democratic party
for he was invited to step out Of congress by
the democrats of his district largely on ac-
count OfhiS extreme silver views.

The great exposition at Chicago is more

October. II is the hope of the manage
ment that the remaining three months
will be more prosperous than were the

have been holding back from visiting
the fair. But now that cheap rates on
the railroads have been established and
the fair is in its prime, it is thought the

until the last day. President Higin-

The Wilmington, n. c., Messenger
and Star, both usually conservative and
reliable, newspapers, publish editorial
warnings to the Wilmington quarantine
authorities to be on the lookout for vel
low fever, pointing their arguments with
reference to the alleged fact of a death
from yellow fever at Savannah The
warnings to the authorities are commend
able; but neither of our contemporaries
took the pains to have the report that
there was yellow fever at this port con-
tirmed before publishing the report as true.
II is TO be hoped that both the Messenger
and the Star will be as prompt to correct
their errors regarding Savannahs health
as they were to fall into them. They got
Havana mixed up with Savannah.

gallons of fresh and pure water absolute

The Wilmington a. O. Star assures
US that the alligator, besides being food
and leather producer, is a wholesale des-
troyer of snakes, upon which they feed.
Every alligator killed" says the Star,
means 10000 more snakes in the
swamps" In that case an extra session
of the Florida legislature had better be
convened at once to enact an alligator
protective law.

Jerry Simpsons followers in congress

The populists had just as much chance of
electing Simpson speaker of the House

race from start to finish.

The Benjamin Harrison boom for 1896
has been sprung at Shelbyville, Ind.
And, as might have been expected from
the hackers Of a small and insincere poll
tician, the boom consists chiefly of cal
amity howl-such a howl as might have
come from Weaver or Jerry Simpson, or
an oaice-seeker Of their kidney. A few
nights ago Harrison club, organized
secretly in the night time, issued a mani
festo emblazoned with democratic roosters
and containing this statement: These
are the good times you voted for-wheat
80 cents, banks busted, no work, factories
closed no money" The friends of theex-
President who are responsible for the
circular evidently rely upon the forgetful-
ness Of the masses. But it is not likely
that the fact that republican legislation
Is wholly responsible for the existing
depression in trade and commerce will be

The proposition from the city of Mexico
that the Latin-American states and the
United States unite in a monetary league
TO resist the depreciation of silver, will
probably find favor in some of the western
states. The idea, it is believed, is to put
this hemisphere upon a silver basis. The
plan contemplates the diverting of all
South American trade with foreign
countries to the United States. Thus the
Americas would set themselves up as
against the rest of the world-that is, If
the plan could be carried out But it can
not. The trade of South America could
not be abruptly removed from accustomed
channels nor could the United States
afford to cut loose from its European con
nections The money of this country
should be good in all the world

It is futile hope to expect to
breed hornless cattle by the practice
of dishorning. There have been in.
stances in which an artificial peculiar.
ity in the animal has become inherited,
but this is exceedingly rare and is NOT
to be taken as q rule for breeders.
Lambs have been docked for centuries,
but they still come into the world with
long tails. The only satisfactory way
to have n herd of pooled cattle is to
use polled bull, and this, being in
conformity to the natural laws of
breeding, may be depended on in time
to fix this character on tho progeny.
1t may not be fully effective in the
first generation or in several, but ex-
perience has shown that in time the
character of the sires will be fixed on
the progeny in the end. For dairy
cattle the polled red Norfork will
make a good hornless sire. The
Scotch Aberdeen cattle are sometimes
excellent dairy animals New York
