SHORT o. CASH
Some Probability Of Another
Bond Issue in the Very
Near Future.
GOLD RESERVE GOING DOWN.
Officials See No, Cause For
Alarm, But Other Opin-
ions Differ.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-There are diff
ferences of opinion among treasury Off
Gals as to the probabilities Of another
bond issue. Neither Mr.. Carlisle nor
Assistant Secretary Curtiss is willing to
admit that there is any real cause fol-
alarm in the present financial situation.
It is known, however, that the presi-
dent and his advisers are watching with
eager interest every change in the fnan
cial situation, and that every phase of
it is being carefully and thoughtfully
studied. Notwithstanding this solici-
tude, it is believed that it is the judg.
ment of the president that the situation
does not furnish any just apprehension,
aud that better times may confidently
b. expected soon. From this point Of
view it is argued that the
Passage of the Pending Tariff Bill
is sure to result in prompt and general
re yival of business, and that in conse-
quence there will be a large increase
in the government revenues. Receipts
from customs, which for many months
past have been gradually growing less,
will show a marked improvement from
the very first and will continue to in
crease until normal conditions have
been reached.
It is contended that Notwithstanding
the fact that the gold reserve has
reached the low water mark Of about
$52,000,000, the government is really
far better able to meet it's obligations
today than it was just prior to the Feb
ruary bond issue. There are some,
however, who take less hopeful view
of affairs. They observe tina the gold
reserve, which six months ago was
brought up to it's normal condition by
an increase Of $50, 600 in the public
debt,
Is Again Melting Away
and already reduced to point 3,000,.
600 below the lowest point reached
prior to the February bond issue. They
contemplate with uneasiness the fact
that for year and more, the ordinary
expenses Of the governmental have largely
exceeded the receipts, and the only re-
course, it is contended, will be to bond
issue, and there are many well in
formed persons who believe that if this
congress does not pass a prohibitive
resolution before adjournment, $50, 900,
GOO or more will soon be issued. E@t7a' ~

had greater per capita amount OF money
in circulation than now and that theSvOl-
ume Of circulation does not necessarily
regulate or fix the measure Of prices, but
that this is now, as ever, mainly governed
by the law Of supply and demand. The
same currency buys a bushel of wheat at
SO cents, and bushel of potatoes at the
same price. At this figure wheat is very
cheap and potatoes very high. The one
product is Overplenty, the other over
scarce. And this makes the difference,
not the volume or the quality of the cur
rency. There is an undoubted lack of
currency among our farmers in many
localities, especially in the upper
country, but this lack comes, not from
scarcity of money in the state Or nation,
but from the lack of products to exchange
for money. Compare the counties of Free
born and Polk, if you please. In the for
mer, with 20 townships of land, Is, 900 peo-
pie, "a creameries and a great amount of
dairy products, large number of cattle,
horses, sheep and hogs and an advanced
system of diversified farming, money is
not scarce, and the times are far from
hard and depressed, In the latter, with IS
townships of land, $1,000 people, only two
creameries, a not numerous amount OF
cattle, still fewer sheep and hogs, scanti-
ness of dairy products and system of
farming mainly devoted to wheat culture,
money is quite scarce and times are very
hard and trying.
What makes the difference? They both
exist under the same currency and the
same flag. The difference is this: In the
county of Freeborn the farmers have a
large and valuable variety of farm pro-
ducts, bringing; a fair price, to exchange
! for money. This makes money plenty and
times easy. On the other hand, in the
county of Polk the farmers have little to
exchange for money except wheat, and
that was very light crop, and the prices,
owing to glut in the foreign market,
were very low. This makes money scarce
and times very hard.
| Farmers of the Red river valley. if you
look at the situation in its true light, is it
not plain to you that relief cannot come
from the referendum, from saloons kept
by the state, from government ownership
OF railroads, from female suffrage or from
the unconditional free coinage of silver at
the ratio of Is to l.

From this statement it appears that we
have never had higher per capita circula-
tion than on the 1st day of June, 1894,
when it reached maximum of $24.54 per
scapita, and we all know that wheat never
was lower than in 1894. In 1893. when our
per capita circulation was $24.87, wheat
$3.50 per bushel, while in 1871, with per
capita circulation of only SIG. TO- wheat was
worth $1.25.8 per bushel; thus demonstrate
ing that the volume of currency has noap-
preciable bearing on the price of wheat,
and this becomes still more apparent on a
CLOSE inspection of the entire statement
These figures also show that during the
five years, when silver was demonetiZed,
from 1872 to 1878, of which so much COM
plant has been made. the average price of
wheat was $1.04.1 per bushel, while in the
next five years, from 1877 to 1888, under
the Bland law, the average price was only
$685. per bushel. If the per capita amount
of circulation governed the times and reg
ulated the price of wheat, we ought today
to have better times and higher prices than
at any time since 1885, Few countries
have a greater per capita circulation than
ours. All exclusive silver countries have
much less--notably India, China and Mex

ours in any material degree. And there
more money is needed than anywhere else,
for the reason that payment by check is
little in vogue, and for the further reason
that the French peasant keeps his surplus,
not in the banks, like our people, but
Hoarded at Home
in his chests and in his stockings. Besides,
it must be remembered that France keeps
500, 000, 900 permanent gold redemption
fund on hand, while we have only $780,,
100000 for a like purpose. The following
statement from the bureau of statistics
gives the population and the per capita
circulation of the several countries of the
world. The figures are, very instructive
and elucidate what have said. zzss

THE TARIFF SITUATION.

Some Sort of a Report Expected Inside OF
Seventy-two Hours.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The usual
Sunday quiet of the Capitol building
was broken by the assembling of the
Democratic tariff conferees at 2:30 p. m.
in the senate committee room on inter-
state commerce. All of the Democratic
conferees were present except Senator
Voorhees,, who is still sick, and Chair
man Wilson, who had gone to West
Virginia to see his sick wife. The meet
ing lasted until & o'clock and was
marked with even more than the usual
secrecy. Some Of the conferees de-
clned to admit that they were to.
gether. Others were more communica-
tive, explaining that the gathering was
due to the desire to expedite a settle
ment at the
Earliest Moment Possible.
The meeting resulted in an understand.
ing that a report should be made one
way or acknowledgements or disa,
greement-within the next ~ hours.
That it would be an agreement was not,
however, definitely settled. On this
point the conferees say they have not
yet passed the danger point, although
they seemed more confident that it
would be an agreement.
The discussion again turned on sugar,
iron ore and coal. The fact that these
items are receiving attention is taken to
Indicate that the new sugar schedule
has been thoroughly canvassed, and
that it will be the basis of an agreement
unless some new obstacle intervenes.

No, my friends, silver recommendation Is
at least as dangerous as gold monometal-
ism. No honest man, having the good OF
his country at heart, wants either. We
want honest, genuine bimetallism. We
have it in measure and to limited ex-
tent today. And the substantial, the
statesmanlike and the patriotic question
is, how to maintain and enlarge it, not
how to destroy it. We can, by ourselves,
sustain it to a limited and local degree, as
we have eyer since the Bland act of 1876,
and as we never succeeded in doing be-
fore. We can enlarge it to it's greatest
limit and put it on an enduring basis by
international agreement among the lead
ing commercial nations of the world. The
former is bimetallism, the latter inter-
national. The former rests on the prin-
ciple Of interconvertibility, the latter on
mutual agreement. In the former case a
50 cent silver dollar passes current because
it can be converted at will into gold dol
lar. In the latter case the same silver
dollar passes current the world over, be-
cause all great commercial nations have
agreed to receive it as such on a parity
with gold. A free coinage which sustains
and upholds bimetallism is desired by all
friends of good government and honest
money A free coinage which would at
one fell blow
Strike Down Bimetallism
and reduce us to a state of silver mono
metallism, not desired by anybody except
the most extreme inflati onists and the
owners Of silver mines and silver bullion
The farmers of this country have no silver
to sell or to coin, and theirs would not be
the initiation harvest. Why, even the sill
yer monometalism of Chinai is more honest
than the silver monometallism sought
here, for silver circulates there on it's COM
mercial or bullion value and not on it's
coin or token value. And yet, in spite of
this fact, silver has gone down in that
country from value of S1.67 per tael in
1871, to value of 1914 cents per tael in
1898, and this in the face of an exclusive
silver circulation.
But it is urged that there is an INSULT
Gent am ount of money in circulation for
the healthy business of the country, and
that this scarcity of money is one of the
chief causes of hard times and low prices,
particularly the low price of wheat. This
contention is untrue, and is not warranted
by the facts, as will appear from the fol-
lowing statement, compiled by the bureau
Of Statistics showing the population and
per capita circulation for every year since
1866, and the average price of wheat per
bushel for every year since 1869:

Grand Stand at the Chicago
Base Ball Park Partially
Destroyed.
AN IMMENSE CROWD PRESENT,
Many Spectators More or Less
Injured in the Rush For
the Exits.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-The discovery of
fire in the West Side bail park created
quite a panic, in which several of the
spectators met with: serious injury and
a large number of others were slightly
cut and bruised in endeavoring to make
their exit. Those most seriously in
jured are: E. w. Bartlett, leg frac-
tured; Ed Ahern, fire insurance patrol
No. 4, severely burned about the hands
and face.
The Chicago and Cincinnati baseball
clubs were battling with each other and
a crowd of not less than 10000 crowded
into the grounds at Polk and Lincoln
streets to witness the game.
Every Available Seat
in the grand stand and bleachers was
occupied, and large crowd of men and
boys contented themselves at not find
ing seats by taking up their positions on
the ball field. The game had advanced
to the seventh inning, when suddenly a
cry Of fire was heard from the bleachers
and thin veil of smoke was seen creep
ing through the seats from below. The
cry of fire was taken up on all sides, and
in a very short time terrible panic en-
sued. The four exits leading from the
grounds were damned with anxious
men and boys and also sprinkling Of
women. The exits were not large
enough to permit the throng to go

wires, their clothing torn in shreds and
hands and legs lacerated by the sharp
barbs. Edward Ahern, a fireman con-
