Strike Down BimetaIIism

and reduce us to state of silver mono
metallism, not desired by anybody except
the most extreme in1ationists and the
owners OF silver mines aad silver bullion.
The farmers OF this country have no sil, or
to sell or TO coin, and theirs woald not be
the imitation harvest. Why, even the sill
yer monometalisEa Of China is more honest
than the silver mononetaliisp, sought
here, for silver circuiaees there on its CON-
msrcial or buIlioa value and not on it's
coin or token value. Aud yet, in spite of
this fact, silver has gone down in that
country from vitl.e OF $i.61 per tael in
1871, to value Of Sd cents per tael in
1858, and this in the lice If an exclusive
silver circulation.
But it Is urged that there is an INSULT
Gent am punt of money in circulation Tor
the healthy business Of the country, and
that this scarcity of money Is enc CT the
chief causes OF lard 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, complied by the bureau
of statistics, showing the population and
per capita circulation for every year since
1855, and the average price ef wheat per
bushel for every year since 1860:

Terrible Heat From Fire On an Iowa
Farm.

ANAMosA, Ia, Aug. "A terrible fire
is raging on the farm of Henry Walsh,
residing near the little town Of Onslow,
in this county, and nothing can be done
to stop its progress. Walsh cut some
thistles off a slough and set fire to the
roots. The drouth had caused crevices
in the earth, to a depth of several feet,
which allowed the fire to penetrate
through the turf from one to three feet.
There are nd hames, but the heat is In
tense and is increasing in intensity, and
there is no way known of extinguishing
the fire. It is arousing great interest
and people are coming long distances to
see it.

From this statement it appears that we
have never had higher per capita circula-
ton than on the LIST day of June, 1894,
when it reached s. maximum of S245 81 per
capita, and we all know that wheat never
was lower than iii 1854. In 1893. when our
per capita circulation was SA.S7, wheat
$3.50 per bushel, while in 1911, with per
capita circulation of only 10, wheat was
worth :i.25.6 per boshel; thus demonstrate
ing that the volume of currency has no ap-
preciaoia bearing On the price OF wheat,
and this becomes still more apparent on
close inspection OF the entire statement.
These figures also show that during the
FIVE years, when silver was denoaetjzed.
from 1872 to 1878, of which go much COM
plant has been made. the az eraEse price Of
wheat was S1.04.1 per bushel, While in the
next five years, from 1877 to 1893, under
the Bland law, the average price Yves only
$3.50 per busEel. 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 thaa
at any time since 1865 Few countries
have greater per capita circulation than
ours. All exclusive silver countries have
much less-notably India, China and Mex
leo Only one country, France, exceeds
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
Eoarded at Home
in his chests and in his stockings. Besides,
it must be remembered that France keeps
$500, Goa, GOO permanent gold redemption
fund On hand, while we have only $780,
100000 for 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.

terests, but rather TO their great advance
ment and benefit. The great army Of men
engaged in these pursuits have been the
chief consumers of our agricultural
products. But for them tae demand
would have been very limited and the
home market exceedingly scant. Oar
chief reliance would have been in the for
eign demand, which is uncertain and
quite limited, and where. we have to COM
pete with the entire world, both as to
prices and quantities. Today scarcely 90
per cent OF I'll our agricultural products
find n market abroad. In truth our agri-
cultural interests needed, above ell things
that which is now complained of, the EN-
ployment of extensive capital in other in
dustrial pursuits, in order that the field of
labor might be enlarged and the demand
for agricultural prodacts greatly in
creased.
And without our extensive network Of
railroads, radiatinS in al directions and
extending TO the outarmost verges of our
country, agriculture would have been
Kept within narrow bounds and would
have been confined to the lands within
easy reach of our seaboard aad of our in
land lakes and water courses. Our rail-
roaSs tasiay tho inaiSpensihla dis
tributors OF our products aud commerce..
Without them adj traffic. AID intercourse
would az a standstill and society would
be in n state of apathy and helplessness.
The recent strikes have demonstrated
how entirely dependent we are upon the
transportation facilities of our railroads.
Ii was fortunate for our farmers that the
strikes did not occur at time when crops
were to be sold and marketed. Had they
occurred at that time and continued at
considerable length, much hardship and
distress would have been the result. The
capital which built our railroads and es-
tablished our great manufacturing enter
priSes and furnished work for
thousands of worthy and Industrious
laboring men was not capital
distracted or withdrawn from agricul-
tural pursuits, 1or capital raised by taxa
ton or government loans; but capital
gathered from the surplus funds of people
from all over the worid;some OF them very
rich, many OF them of moderate or limited
means. This capital when it came. came
as an investment, and not in any spirit of
hostility, for it depended for its reward,
more than any other capital, upon the
general prosperity of the entire country
And at the time when it came, it was over
much needed and could scarcely have
been obtained from any other source, and
it has brought To us il its Wake large
army Of unemployed and furnished them
with labor.

refusing to issue Il writ of mandamus
compelling Thomas j. Brady, Superin-
teudcnt of buildings. to issue a permit
for tn" building of an extension to li9

by Isaac Goodstein, of 8 and II Hester

In his decision Justice tngrahGm says
that Goodstcin's remedy is by certiorari
proceedings, and that he cannot inquire
into the motives of Supt. Brady.
Goodstein alleges that supt. Brady's
motive in refusing the permit is to
assist Alderman Noonan to prevent
GuolStein from running a concert sa-
loon on the premises.
Harry GoOdStein, son OF the owner,
alleges that Alderman Noonan called
on him and said ne represented several

didn't want the concert saloon opened,

prevent the opening Of the place. He
