n Nations Folly.


An ounce of silver coins S1.29 in the
United States, S1.3S in England aud ST. 30
in India. (Not these denominations. but
these values.) Hence, says the Progress
sive Farmer, before silver was demone-
tized, England must pay S1.39 au ounce
for it here. This it could exchange for
only $1.37 wheat in India, a profit so
small that it was better for the English
man to buy the American wheat direct at
about $l.29 a bushel. But when silver
was demonetized, it fell in value until
now the English importer can buy
American silver at 81 cents an ounce
This coins i'll India the same amount or
S1.36 i'll rupees or rupee certificates, Il
profit over so per cent. With this he now
buys the same amount of India wheat he
could formerly buy, which reduces the
price Of wheat 60 per cent in the Liver
pool market, and also throughout Amer
lea. Thus in demonetizing silver we
have not only destroyed our wheat, cotton
and wool market, as each of these is GOV
erned by the British market, but we have
ruined our own country in order to de-
velop India and Australia and to enrich
Great Britain. No nation before has
ever been guilty of such folly, and in
other shape it would be called treason

The famous Picacho placer mines in
Arizona, located about a year ago by nom
resident English capitalists and held by
aliens, have all been relocated by parties
backed by Montana mining capitalists,
upon the ground that the mines are held
and owned by aliens contrary to the
United States mining laws. The English
company will not be allowed to work the
mines until the case is decided by the
courts.
