Boston, Oct 2-We have here in Bos-

10 other persons belonging to the nobility
OF England.

way a telegraph operator writes his mes
sage, by dots and dashes. ard. when asked
TO translate 1t, told the following:
Some time during the year 1896 or 1897
this age will come to an end. The people
will be destroyed by fire, floods. religious
and labor wars, and all sorts OF disasters,
which will last about year; but few
people will be saved, and they will start a

How Edison Would Settle the Pinan-
cial Problem.
he CALLS IRON PRECIOUS METAL
Gold and silver should he Kicked
Aside = Their Only Value 10 Ira
ditionai-He Urges . Compressed
Whest Dollar.

NEW YORK. Oct "A new solution o.
the silver question has been offered by
Thomas A. Edison. In AN interview he
said:
"The hankering after gold and silver Is
largely traditional People allow them
selves to be governed by the old ideas on
the subject OF coinage formulated at a
time when national credits did not exist
and currency would only be taken at a.
intrinsic value. What we need is new
standard Of value. think that the best
dollar could be made out Of compressed
wheat. You take bushel of wheat and
squeeze the water out Of II and then CON-
press IL into hard cake the size Of sill
yer dollar. and stamp the government
mark upon It.
THAT would represent actual value and
labor performed, and then you could eat
your dollar. for when you wanted to use
the wheat all that would be necessary
would be to put your money In soak. We
should then have the bushel OF wheat n q
permanent unit of value. which all farm
ers would appreciate, and the currency OF
the country would represent actual worth
and labor performed. Both gold and silver
could then be dispensed with and the pres
ent bimetallic problem solved.
What About Irouf
'Our currency, moreover, wou Id be as
good as gold or silver in foreign exchange,
for our wheat goes to all the countries of
the world. In all this talk about metal
for coinage am surprised that no one has
suggested iron. Iron 10 the most precious
metal. Gold is Of no usa or silver either.
Man kind has no use for either gold or sill
YER, but iron could not be dispensed with.
II the people would only give up this fool
ish, traditional, hereditary hankering for
gold and silver these metals would not be
worth the pri ce Of old lead and would be
kicked aside by civilization.
''The human race, on the other hand,
cannot dispense with iron. Iron must be
produced to keep pace with consumption,
or its price will steadily rise. The de-
mand for iron Is steady and will never
cease. Therefore, why not issue treasury
certificates on ironi This 10 the greatest
iron producing country In the world. and
our output amounts annually to more
than the outrut Of both gold and silver.
'Instead Of loading up the treasury with
these useless metals, and IS the people
would want bills OF large denomination TO
accompany the wheat dollar, why not buy
iron or steel instead, aud issue treasury
certificates upon that?"
