Americas Great Danger
AN EHcLISH COMMENTARY.

Said an eminent English scientist recently:
1.-THE danger that confronts the great Ameri-
can people to-day is not the possible adop
ton of wrong financial policy for the
nation, or the spread of socialism, or the
increase of corruption among public men.
ALI these are bad enough, to be sure, but
they are as nothing compared to the terrible
national disease had almost said national
crime-of overwork. The mad rush for
wealth is set at a killing pace, and thousands
fall by the way every year.

COMPLAINTS CT TIE FARMERS.

Secretary Morton has some de-
cided views about the agricultural
situation, and they do not agree in
any respect with those which the
populists are continually proclaim
ing for political purposes. 1t is
true, he says, that the general prot
its of agriculture in this country
have materially declined during
the last ten years. not by reason,
however, of unfriendly legislation,
but mainly becase Of friendly leg
islation. strange as it seems. The
opening of new tracts OF territory
to settlement and cultivation have
SO increased the supply of farm
products, he explains, that it has
run far ahead of the demands, and
The natural result has been a low
ering of prices. When the fact is
considered that the plowed area
has trebled since the homestead
law was passed, and that in the
same time farming implements
have been so improved that one
man can now do as much work as
was formerly done by six men, it
is easy to understand why agricul-
tural values have decreased. The
statistical records show that the
market has not increased in cor
responding degree with the pro
duction, and the surplus has &C
cordinsly reduced the profits. In
short, the present condition dem
onstrates in a very plain and con-
elusive way the truth of the
economic maxim that the relation
of supply to demand is the sole
regulator of value; and this in
cludes that other important fact
that he law which thus adjusts
prices cannot be reversed or eva,led
by artificial appliances O: any sort.
The situation is unsatisfactory in
this respect, but it is by no means
so bad, Mr.. Morton insists, as the
calamitarians represent. He re-
minds these professional croakers
that only about three per cent, of
all the merchants escape failure.
whereas hardly three per cent. of
the farmers fail. The statistics
really show that agriculture is sa!er
than banking, manufacturing or
railroading. taking all things into
account There is no farmer of
good sense and good health any
where in the West, Mr.. Morton de-
clares, who cannot make a good |
living for himself and family, and
that IS as we'll as the majority of
men are doing iii any other pur
suit. The man who owns farm
and sticks 20 it is certain to profit
by it in the future. There is prac-
tically no more land to be added
to the area of cultivation. The
supply OF agricultural products has
almost reached its limit in the
United States, and mnst now re-
main stationary, while the demand
will 60 on increasing every year.
This implies gradual improve
ment in prices and a steady appre-
citation of the value of farming
lands.
The outlook is not really so dis
couraging, it will be seen, as the
pessimists try 10 make it appear.

NEW YORK's FIRST GREAT Sill
WEIR MEETING.

The meeting in Cooper union this
week to discuss the silver question
was the first great gathering of the
kind in the East. 1t was from
every point of view successful.
The hall of the great building,
founded by the MODEST New Yorker
of our time, had not vacant seat.
and the men whooccupied its chairs
were thoroughly American. The
fact was made plair by the applause
with which the telling sentences
and phrases of the speaker were
punctuated whenever reference was
made by them to America and
Americans as against the world.
The Recorder was cheered as the
only paper among all the great
metropolitan dailies which has cast
its lot with the people as against
the shyloeks of Lombard street. 1t
was cheered as in the old days a
certain contemporary used to be
.cheered when the hall of Cooper
union rang with the eloquence of
Garrison and Phillips and Beecher
and thousand others in their APP
peals for the freedom of the slave
and the sanctity and preservation
of the union.
The question under discussion
was hard and cold. 1t involves the
deepest problems of economic
science. In its discussion there is
little for the tricks Of oratory. But
the men who spoke at this meeting
invested the subject with an inter-
est which kept the vast audience
in almost continuous round of ap-
plause.
The speeches were cold, clear,
logical. There was western fla
'vor to them which carried away
nearly all who heard them. They
were the most. thoroughly Ameri-
can speeches from every point OF
view the old hall had heard in
many years.
The light in the east is beginning
to illumine the heavens.--N. Y.

TmT SHAVER DOLLAR.

The Empire Of Finance and
Trade, new newspaper recently
started in New York City, and
whose motto is: Both gold and
silver are wanted for the business
of the nation" gives the following
brief history of the silver dollar:
"On July 6, 1875, the Continental
Congress esta blished the silver dol
lar, although the exact weight was
not finally fixed until August s,
1886, when it was made equal to
the old Spanish dollar whose weight
was 416 grains of standard silver
and 1924 fine. This was equiv
alent to 3714 grains of fine silver
44& grains of crude silver. This
dollar, however, did not originate
with the Spaniards but was first
coined and called a thaler at a
mining town in Bohemia. Previous
to July 1885, the colonies used the
English coinage. The weight of
this coinage was changed in 1887,
by the act of January 18th, to 4134
grains of 900 fine, preserving the
same amount of pure silver-3714
grains with ITO alloy. This act
was discontinued by the act of
February II, 1873, known as the
demonstration act.
up to the time when silver was
demonetized as above stated, the
silver dollar circulated side by side
with gold and commanded slight
premium over that metal when
coined. When silver was dishoror-
ed and denied an equal show in the
minis it commenced to decline in
value. 1t is clear that the appreci-
alton of gold is owing entirely to the
disuse of silver as a money metal
and coin of ultimate redemption.
In proof of this, attention is called
to the following table showing how
the bullion value of the silver dollar
declined after the contamination of
the decentralization crime in 1878:

ARID AM ERICA.
Over Five Hundren and Fifty Millions
OF Acres Open for Settlement.


The Irrigation Market is the title
of new monthly periodical edited
by Colonel Richard J. Hinton, the
specialist on western interests. 1t
is published at No. 81, Broadway,
New York, and it contains much
information of interest to western
people. In an article on the extent
of the public lands within the arid
region it says:
The areas alone of public lands
within the States and Territories
designated as arid or semi-arid in
character, is given by the general
land Office at 1,409,SS5, 746 acres.
OF this great area 554 $685. 59 acres
still remain as open for settlement.
There are of Indian reservations
(not including the Indian Territory
proper, 25,850,640 acres) about 65,-
100000, of military reservations
100000, and of retained for Span
ish grant claims, about 100000;
in all 9S,U00,0O0. OF this it is at
least, probable that over 100000
acres will ere many years be opened
to the settler. 1t may therefore be
estimated that 64,000,000 remain
for occupation. According to the
totals given by the general land
office the nation has disposed of
nearly one billion acres ofits public
land, within the region lying west
of the Missouri river and the 9th
parallel of longitude west from
Greenwich. OF this vast area at
least 100000, 900 acres are more or
less influenced by aridity and will
require, so much of it as can be used
for agricultural, horticultural and
pastoral purposes, the artificial use
OF water in irrigation. The total
area of the region SO affected is not
less than 1,1U0,000,000 acres, not
including western Texas. That
state still owns lO0,000.000 acres
of public lands, 80 per cent of which
is affected in some degree by aridity.
OF the public land areas, national or
Texan, open to settlement, there is
at least one acre in six that could be
made available for agriculture, il
water in necessary degree can be
insured. That is there are over
100,O00,000 acres of public land
alone that would be fit for arabic
uses if water should be made obtain
able. OF the remaining public
land Estate and NATIONALLY area there
is at least 170,000,OOO more acres
adapted to pastoral purposes, while
the balance have large values of
timber, water storage and mineral
asses and development.

*Rise occurred on account of In
dia desiring more silver, failure of
the English house of Earrings and
panic in London.
With silver at 1929, the bullion
value of the silver dollar Of 3714
grains is equal to 81, perfect par
ity of value, according to the stand
ard of the United States.
England has sent silver, as cheap
as it is, to India, to the value OF
16,593,613 in the first five months
of the year, against yearly aver
age of about $25,000,000 since the
year 1885.
