Total gold, silver, and paper. SO, 475, oOO, 900


The above is undoubtedly a close APP
Proclamation to the amount of money in
the curTencies of the countries that were
on the gold standard in 1891. When the
figures are examined il will be seen that
at the end of 1891 the actual gold entering
into the money of the gold standard coun-
tries was less than one-half of the whole
of the money of those countries. To that
extent, indeed. the term gold standard IL
a misnomer, because 1t is really a standard
OF gold, silver, and paper money COM
bined. II might perhaps be thought that
the 80, 220, 100000 of gold determined the
value OF the 1925. 900. 900 of silver and
paper ard that these took the value of
gold from association with 1t as legal-ten-
der. One would naturally suppose that
the larger body of money would be more
apt to control the value of the smaller
than Uice persG.
FIxRs THE PARITY.
But the question is immaterial, for il is
the nat OF the government that fixes the
parity In all those countries. aud unless
some predominant, overbeariug cause
superyenes 10 disrupt this ligament the
parity will continue as long as the tat re-
mains.
The Question is, therefore. not only Sor
the United State, but for all the countries
on what is enormously supposed to be a
gold basis. What effect on the great
amount OF money other than gold and
chiefly silver entering INTO their circuia-
ton will the withdrawal from market of
the largest purchaser OF silver have upon
the money circulation of those countries
ii the result should be 30 10 depress the
bullion price OF silver as to destroy the
logal-tender value Of S2055.0O0. 900 OF sill
yer coins now circulating on parity with
gold would rot the amount OF money in
circulation be diminished to the extent Of

ABOUT RoBBER BARoNs.
Andrew Carnegie Has Som ething to sa
About Them In Boston.

Andrew Carnegie Has Som ething to Say
About Them In Boston.
BosTox. Sept. H.-Andrew Carnegie
is in Boston, and he said tonight: 81
regret that any manufacturers have ap-
peared before the congressional tariff
committee. The country has been led
to believe that manufacturers are rob.
Der barons. I think the Democratic
party should be allowed to arrange the
duty on imports, so that the 'robber
baron may be put 70 death: Would I
have this done gradually? No, prefer
sudden death. The sooner reaction sets
in the better.
1T am certain that the industrial in.
terest OF the capitalist aud Of laborer
would be best carried out by following
the Chicago platform. While believe
the prosperity Of the country depends
on projecting manufacturers, still 1t Is
vastly more Important that there should
be no antagonism between labor and
capital. The country has been led to
believe that protection is robbery.
u, for one, am not willing to reap any
benefits from any species Of robbery.
1.-THE tariff is robbery in the opinion of
American people, let 1t be abolished,
and labor and capital aud all industries
live together in peace, each satisfed
with the other. Any economical ad-
vantages the country may derive from
protection are dearly bought II one class
Is set against another.
.1f there Is one robber baron left at
the end OF the next session of Congress
It will not be possible for the Democra-
tic party to put the blame on anyone
else. For this reason 1 regret to see
manufacturers appearing before Con.
gress beseeching it to stay its revolu.
tionary hand"

ARKANSAS Cry, KAs., Sept 1.-THE
mystery which through SO many long
year of anxious waiting shrouded the
real character OF the Cherokee strip.
the gauzy veil through which expecta-
tant home seekers thought they saw a
Canaan, has been swept away. The
Cherokee strip is now reality, and a
a very grim reality at that.
There is no Canaan about it either.
It was promised land, but 1t has not
kept its promise. 1t may dc, SO q year
from now, but at present the strip is
about the most uninviting quarter on
the face Of the earth. Water is OBJ
tainable in only a few places, Food is
so scarce that loaf Of bread costs 90
cents, and pound OF smoked ham ts
worth dollar.
The weather Is suaocating and anoth-
or hot wind is blowing from the south
that will scorch all vegetation II there
is any to parch, The drouth Of the last
month has left the country burned dry.
A smothering duet COMPOSED OF COM
bination Of fne sand and ashes from
the prairie fires fills the air and adds to
the thirst and general discomfort of the
unhappy boomers.
The careless building OF camp fires
has set the prairie ablaze in many
places, and boomers are out fighting of
the flames. In other places unscru-
lous men have started the fires in the
hope Of driving some of the timofSls
claimants off valuable tract.
To-day was generally given over to
an effort to bring order out OF chaos.
The farmers families have put
up. tents, arranged their primitive
houses as comfortable as possible
and have begun the search for
water, either in creeks, springs or in
driving wells. While the head OF the
family has hustled Of to the nearest
land Office to file his preliminary pa
pers, this work is done by the remain-
der Of the family. The county seats
and town sites have become busy COM
munities. Those reached by the rail.
ways have been fairly well supplied
with provisions. In those of the lines
Of travel the commonest commodities
command fancy prices so greatly does
the demand exceed the supply.
w pillowls Springs water. sells at ten
cents a glass, bread at so cents loaf
and other supplies at proportionate
amounts. Restaurants, shops Of all
kinds, drinking places and gambling
houses have been established in tents,
and are doing q thriving business. The
centres of interest have now been trans
ferred to the government land offices.
At Kingfsher to-day 900 tired, weary
boomers lined up in front of the office
and will keep their places until the
office opens up tomorrow. AtGuthrie
no less than 1000 men and women are
in line. at Perry, the new town site on
the Santa Fe, aline ofmen a mile long
stretches away from the land Office, and

THE FLIGHT

To the Promised Iand-Four Boomers
Shot by Soldiers.
ARKANSAS CRY, KAs., Sept, T.-one
hundred thousand boomers and their
families settled upon the Cherokee strip
yesterday. Atnoon the signal was given
announcing the passing Of the title Of
the land from the United States govern
ment to the boomers, and a race. such as
wasnever witnessed before and will prob
ably never be seen again, was begun. On
the lines in the vicinity Of thevarious
border towns the boomers had gathered
in great numbers. As far as the eve
could reach in either direction could
be seen men mounted and in wagons
and on foot, closely packed together,
making a solid column two hundred
feet or more widein the middle, and
taperins away to q mere streak Of black
in the distance.
The scene when the column broke at
the fringot the signal gun and each
individual entered the contest for q
common prize can be imagined better
than described. Confusion reigned
G1TaRiE, o. n, Sept. 17.-1nforma-
tion received here by courier tells Of
four "sooners" being shot and fatally
wounded Friday night by soldiers. The
names are at present unknown. The
men had received their certificates and
gone into the strip to locate their
