Fair Free Coinage.

Mr.. Bland knows very we'll that
there is not the siightes st possibility
that his bill for the tree coinage of
silver at a ratio OF Is 10 l can be-
come a law. The friends of silver
weaken their cause by taking such
extreme positions. The proposition
to coin silver free and in unlimited
quantities at a ratio Of Is to l is
not only opposed to every dictate
of common sense, hnt is directly
against the national Democratic
platform, which demands that the
gold and silver dollar shall be of
equal intrinsic value.
The Philadelphia Times is quite
right when it says:
Iftree silver coinage shall be res
garded by congress as a necessity,
let it come; but let it come with
equal and exact justice to ALTO
producers, to government and to
people. Let the standard be fixed
on a ratio at least approaching the
intrinsic value of a dollar, and let
the cost OF mintage to the silver
producer be the precise difference
between the value of the bullion
and the legal tender value of the
coin exchanged for it. This would
put silver producers upon exact
equality with all other industrial
people of the land. 1t would be
simply common justice to the sil-
yer men, common justice to every
other industrial interest and COM
mon justice to the government,
Until the silver cause shall be
brought into at least near approach
to the standard Of hone t dealing
with the government, there can be
no silver legislation that a meet
the united approval of the silver
champions and of the country.

Banks in the United States.

There were in the United States
on the first of July 3,789 national
and 3,191 state banks, making a
total Of 6,979, with deposits
amounting TO about $4,000, OOO, 900.
This gives au average of about
$34O,OOO. Outside Of New York
the average is less than 100000.
This number of banks in Great
Britain and Ireland seems very
email in comparison with the mum
Der in this country. In England
Scotland and Ireland there are
Only 131 parent banks with 3,8O1
branches, but their deposits amount
to 1885, 900, 900. Counting only
the parent bands, the average of
deposits is nearly S22,O0O.O 900 to
the bank.
The difference in the conditions
of the two governments accounts
for the great disparity in the NUNS
Der of banks. With her small ter--
ritory and crowded population
Great Britain does rot require a
large number of banks. We have
none too many for our vast terri
tory and in some sparsely settled
parts of United States the people
feel very keenly the want Of bank
ing facilities.

The Battle Of Gettysburg.

OF the many attractive places of
amusement in Chicago that we visited
while there, the Battle Of Gettysburg
cyclorama was one of the most de-
lightful and instructive. 1t is an i'm
mense brick building, situated on the
corner of Wabash Avenue and Pan
Drama Place, convenient to the State
street cable cars and near the elevated
railroad, and visitors to the Worlds
Fair should not fail to see it. A vast
and realistic panorama faithfully pOr-
traying the great battle of Gettysburg,
it is one of the grandest sights of that
wonderful city. The officials are all
courteous and obliging gentleman and
half an hour spent there can not fail of
being both interesting and instructive.
Those who have never witnessed a
work of the kind can form no concep-
ton of the startling effects that are
obtained. The Gettysburg Panorama
is the work of Paul Phillopoteaux, a
French artist Of great ability and es-
tabllshed reputation as a military
painter, whose wonderful ''Detence Of
Paris bas been seen by most Amer
leans who have visited the French cap
ital. Mr.. PhillipoteauX has made
painters have failed. 1t is his idea to
complete the pictorial illusion by
placing the spectator in the centre Of
the scene, and completely surrounding
him with circumference of earth and
sky. The whole battlefield Of Gettys-
burg is reproduced with strictest topo-
graphical accuracy, and the details OF
the great fight are represented with 4
realism that seems marvellous.
The foreground is actually 'nilt out
with real fences, earth, tre..,. guns.
etc., which are so skilltully led up to
and joined with the painted canvas
which is so feet high and AS in cir
conference that it is almost impossible
to discover wherever reality ends and
| illusion begins. A descriptive lecture
| is given by veteran of the war. The
enthusiasm Of the old soldiers. land

gaze upon this panorama is unbounded-
\ band of Dakota Indians who were
taken to see it paid an altogether too
sincere tribute to the potency of the
Illusion. Fully convinced that it was
real they became wildly excited and
wanted to rush down upon the broad
field and take hand in the fight. The
amphitheatre rang with their war
whoops, IA panic ensued. and it was
only by getting the dusky warriors out
side the building that calm was restored .

More Cotton Planted.

In spite of advice to the contrary, it
appears that the farmers of the State
will raise more cotton this year than
last. Bradstreet's says:
"A recent report on cotton crop
prospects in North Carolina states that,
whereas the acreage planted in 1892
was only 70 per cent. of that in 1891,
the acreage planted this spring is Is
per cent. greater than year ago, while
the quantity of fertilizers used this year
shows an increase of one-third. The
grain in acreage planted is in sections
where cotton and tobacco are both
grown, farmers planted more Gotten
and less tobacco.
