INDIAN SILVER QUESTION.
How the Closing Of the Mint is Viewed by
New York Financiers.

NEW YORK, June 26.-The' cessation
of free coinage of silver by the gov
eminent of India was fruitful source
of conversation among financiars to-
day. Business was resumed this
morning with general feeling OF de-
preston growing out OF a combina'
nation of unfavorable circumstances.
Fresh failures from various parts of
the country and stringent money
were good foundation for the
announcement of a stoppage
of the Indian silver minis. A proml-
nent banker, who is also one of the
heaviest silver bullion dealers on Wall
street, said to a reporter when the an
uouncemeut came: This is crush
ing blow TO silver. The effect will be
paralyzing upon the whole silver mar
ket and | think a settlement OF the
silver question in this country is now
at hand. The basis OF currency in
India is silver. MINIS have been open
for free coinage and such immense
quantities of silver lave been pre-
scented by private parties and the cir
culation of silver became SO great that
the price of Indian rupees have been
declining steadily for months. This
has brought about a suspension OF
free coinage. 1t has been done by the
official class of the country. Their pay
is in the Indian rupee and they are
beginning to suffer seriously from its
depreciation in value"
Still another larger bullion shipper
had this to say: Il don't see how the
action of the Indian government III
closing its mint will much diminish
the demand for silver in India.
India is creditor country and
do not see how her balance of trade
is to be settled save in the old way OF
imports OF silver. If the minis are
closed to private persons then the
government will have to import silver
for coinage purposes il place of private
parties. The only possible way IL
which India's demand for silver vii
be lessened would be by cessation o
expanei n OF her exports in conse
uuency : low prices of silver. Las
year til Xc,ssively low price o
silver made the total imports b.
India, China and the straits, yer.
much larger than the average of pre-
vious years, and SO tar this year tn
imports by the three countries ar
ahead of last year. The governmeI
will be compelled to do as the Indial
banks. i. e., buy silver in the marke
in London. 1t is not stated whethe
the gold value of the rupee is fixed a
sixpence, but from the rise G
rupee paper in London 1t woul
seem that this is the case. Those VIII
will gain by any further fall in silve
/, will be the Indian government, VIII
will make the difference between bul
lion half of silver and coined value, q
our government does here on ever
, silver dollar coined. The depreciatio
) of the rupee is, however, stopped.

THE ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE.
Looking After the Alum and Ammonia Baking
Powders.

Chicago Inter-Ocean.
A bill for an act entitled, "An act to
regulate the traffic in bak-
ing powder" has been intro
duced in the Legislature at
Springfield by Mr.. Nohe. The bill is
intended to prevent the adulteration
of baking powders with ammonia or
alum, imposing proper penalties TO
enforce the law, etc. This shows an
arrest desire on the part of our rep
resentatives to protect their constitu-
euts.
The Chicago Tribune, referring to
the question of Legislature on alum
and ammonia baking powders, says:
sit deals in a direct manner with an
evil that must be cut down"
"Foliowing is partial list of the
names of the brands sold in this state
that have been examined and found
to contain either ammonia or alum.
Many OF the alum and ammonia pow
ders are labeled and advertised as
"absolutely pure" to mislead the pub
lie:
Calumet" "Forest City," "Chica-
90 J east ;" "Grant's Bon Bon," "Ho-
tel, ;" "ra ylor's One spoon" "Taylor's
Double Strength" Climax" "Bon
Ton" "Town Talk" Manhattan"
"Evans," "Uodson & Hills, "Shep.
ard's,n "Bain's,n "Kenton," "K. c."
'Loyal. - "Doutle Eagle"
In addition to the above list there Is
multitude of brands sold with
prize. 1t is safe to reject all baking
powders sold with a prize, as the
tests show that they are composed
largely of alum and cost but lew
cents per pound. Also refuse any
baking powder sold at twenty-five
cents pound, or less; it is sure TO
contain alum.
Surely nothing but their cheapness
could induce the public to experiment
with these impure powders at the
risk of health. Aside from the ques-
ton of health or the wholesomeness of
these condemned powders, and view
ed from the standpoint Of economy
alone, pure grape cream OF tarter
baking powder like CDR. Prices"
from its greater known strength and
unquestionabe purity, will prove
more economical to the user in every
way.

BLOW TRAT BUGLE
AND LET THE MILITIA KNOW THERE
WILL BE AN ENCAMPMEET.
The Commute that Go to Houston ere Sue
cessful and We Will Have the Mil
itary Encampment Some
Time Next Month.

Monday noon a committee COM
prised of Messrs. Jno. Orr, Walter
Tips, General Roberts and DR.. Morse
went to Houston to confer with Gen.
eral Manager Quinlan OF the Central
railroad, relative to the free transpor-
tation of troops to the proposed en-
campment to be held here next month.
That all Austin eagerly awaited the
result of this conference goes without
saving. In consideration of this fact
q STATESMAN reporter waited on DIR.
Morse upon his return yesterday from
Houston to ascertain what had been
the result of the committees visit.
The doctor says that the committee
laid the matter before Manager Quin-
Ian in clear and forcible
manner showing the benefits to be de-
rived from the perpetuation of the
militia of the state and sho ed how
necessary an encampment was
the different companies III
the state. Placed the situation
clearly before him az re-
CARDS the states and Austin's position
relative to the matter of free transpor-
tation and showed the willingness OF
Gen. Mabry to do what he possibly
could in the way OF paying for the
actual expense incurred in hauling
the troops out of the little revenue he
had at his disposal for this purpose
Major Quinlan considered the matter
fayorably and told the committee that
he would instantly place himself
in Geographic communication with Of
ticials of other roads and let the COM
mittee know at once upon the receipt
of their decision of the matter. DR.
Morse left at once for home, but the
other gentlemen of the committee re-
manned. Yesterday noon DIR. Morse
received the first glad tidings from
Houston in the shape of the following
kilograms:
Houston, June 81, 1893.
Chas. s. Morse, Austin;
Submitted the following proposition
| to committees:
We will carry free all companies To-
Gated on our line to Austin and charge
/ cent mile each way for companies
delivered us at Junction points by
other lines. U. "A IoulNLAN.
Following this telegram there soon
came another from General Roberts:
HOUSTON, June27.
Chas. S. Morse, Austin:
Have secured free transportation.
A. S. ROBERTS.
This last one did the work. Wher
it became noised about the streets
every body was happy. Genera
Mabry is up the river camping, bu'
two or three enthusiasts wanted tt
hire horse and go out and tell him
about it, and doubtless ere this he has
heard the good news. This will settle
the matter of the encampment anc
the military companies all over the
state can now get down to work, al
the call will probably be issuec
next week announcing the date of th'
encampment. 1t is not known at this
writing the exact date Of the encamp
ment, but it is thought it will bt
about July II or Is.

Special Correspondence to The Statesman.
DEL VALE, Tex, June 24.-Many
changes have been wrought in Del
Vale since l made my last communi-
cation.
The corn prospect has fallen from
80 bushels to 30 on an average and
cotton has gained in like proportion.
The rain that has been looked for
never came, therefore we have lost a
fine corn crop, but where we lost in
one place we gained in another. IT'S
true that some will not make over Is
bushels of corn to the acre, but some
parties will gain sufficient in their
cotton to more than. repay them for
their lost corn crop.
Hon. J. B. Norwood left last
Wednesday morning for New York,
Boston and on to Chicago, which city
he intends to 'do" in proper style before
he returns. He intends to be gone

time will visit all of the most import
ant cities of the North. We all sin.
