"Some intelligent young people
who follow the proceedings Of Con-
eress doubtless wonder what is
meant by the Bland seigniorage
bill. Persons desiring to sell sill
yer to the United States or to get
it coined into dollars for themselves
take it to the Treasury Department
or the mint in the form of bullion,
which is bars Of pure silver. Pure
silver is too soft 10 wear in dollars.
The Standard American silver dol
lar contains altogether 412A grains
Of metal. OF this 3714 grains are
pure silver. The rest, or one-tenth
Of the whole weight is alloy, chiefly
copper. This leaves OH the hands
Of the government IN pure silver
the one-tenth pure silver that it
took from the weight Of every dol
lar to add the necessary alloy.
The government keeps this for its
own to defray the expenses of COIN
age. It is called the governments
seigniorage. There is now in the
Treasury vaults some $50, 200, 900
worth seigniorase that has been
left over from the coinage Of the
many silver dollars since the re-
sumption Of silver coinage in 1873.
This is what Mr.. Bland wants COIN
ed into dollars and put into circula-
tion.-N. 0. Post.

ssAll things come to him who waits. "
Then be not discouraged because our
ranks are somewhat depleted. Power
and influence are not always measured
by numbers, nor is the battle always
to the strong or the race to the
swift. "Thrice armed is he whose
cause is just" Believing our prln-
ciples are based upon equity and
justice, and having faith in the God
of the Universe as a ''just, right
eous arbiter OF the affairs of men," let
us stand by and sustain our organiza

ciple, and the time will come, yea, Is
coming, when the complaints of the
people and their just demands can no
longer be spurn9d and disregarded. A

POULTRY HOUSES.

One of the writer's in the StOckmGn
says: 1 will give size and description,
with amount of material, for a house
to accommodate rs to 100 fowls 1t
should be 1924 feet len 3thwise east
and west, with five windows 2x4 feet
each on the south side, and a comb roof
with ventilation on the top. The ma
terial needed is 26 pieces 2x4 inches
and II feet long for frame using one
ring on foundation, one-half way up,
and one for plates and end ties; one six
feet long on each side of window and
at each corner, making it six feet to
the caves. Besides this will be needed
26 rafters 2x4 inches and eight feet
long, 288 feet of siding six feet long for
sides; 24O feet 10 feet long for ends; the
door to go in at the end; $500 18-inch
pine shingles. 7 prefer the roof sheeted
under the shingles and extended one
foot on ends over the building,
This house is to set on a wall or stone
foundation raised eight or ten inches
higher than the surrounding land and
should be filled up with sand Thus it
would have at all times nice dry earth
floor, free from dampness and with no
place for vermin to harbor.
Make the roosts all on a level, sus-
pended from the roof with wires and
movable, so they a easily be taken
do "n or cleaned of vermin. The best
roOsts are made 2z2 inch piece with the
corners rounded off. Allow each fowl
one foot of perch; raise or suspend your
perches about four feet from the floor
l nno after II years in experimenting
Chat this plan for perches and houses is
Gne most satisfactory, as TO wis love to
dwell IN light and sunshine and where
: Is 1t Is perfectly dry and dusty.

A GOOD ONE ON Mr.. AYCoCK.

A funny incident occurred in Fed
eral Court yesterday during the Bod
die trial. Sheriff Arlington, of Nash
county, testified that, in his opinion,
there was no resemblance between the
writing on the postal card and the
money order. On cross examination
by Mr.. Aycock, when asked if he had
any grievance against Mrs. Arlington,
he replied that he had. What is it2"
said Mr.. Aycock. "She roasted me in
her paper just about as bad as she did
you" responded the witness. The an,
swer brought down the house RAJ

HoMRLY, aUT PRACTICAL.

The following homely, but practical
illustration is from Tom Watson's pen,
of course:
Suppose you were to pass a law
which shut down all the saw mills in
the United States. Anybody can see
that the price of the lumber which is
already on hand would go higher
every day. When would the price go
down3
When you started the mills to max
ing more lumber again.
The government, by the repeal of
the Sherman, law, shut down the mills
which we're coming 81. 900, 900 per
month.
The shutting down of these mills
stopped the making of g money.
Hence the money which had already
been made began to rise in price. 1t
began to command a larger quantity
of produce. The dollar brought a higher
price in cotton, wheat, land and labor.
The price of the dollar is rising day
by day. How long will it continue to
rise2
Until the government starts up the
mills AMI begins to make more dol
lars.
Then the monopoly which money
now enj oys will be destroyed, and the
price of dollars will fall to it just
level.
AS long as the saw mills sawed no
lumber, the men who owned the lu n
Der already cut would have a monopoly
and dictate the price.
Just so with money. As long as the
government minis coin no more money
the men who own the money already
coined dictate the price of it.
In each case, if you are eve going
to release the people from the clutches
of the monopoly, you must start up the
mills"

UNREST.

Two weeks after the election finds
the New York World still trying to ex-
plain the causes of the slump. The
following editorial shows the state Of
unrest" in the World Office:
TT was not alone the dissatisfaction
of Democratic voters with their party's
management that was r. fected in the
results,of the recent elections. There
is a widespread and deepening discon-
tent with the existing order of things
in society, in government and in poll
tics of which the thoughtful observer
must take note.
ut was not from mere caprice that
more than 1 200, 900 citizens voted for
the Populist candidate for President
two years ago. The claim of the lead
ers of this party that they polled z, OOO.-
600 votes in the elections this year is
probably exaggerated. But il is obvious
from the returns already printed that
the POpulists have seemed 10 lose in
one State or section only to show in
creased strength in others. These
men proclaim some doctrines that seem
crazy to the majority and that are no
doubt unsound. And yet it is for no
cause and not without substantial
grievances of some kind that a million
two of American citizens separate
themselves from the old parties, espe-
cially when important national issues
are as clearly drawn between these
parties as they were in 1892.

LETTER FROM FORSYTH co.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
I hope you will be so kind as to elbow
me a short space in your valuable pa
per. We are rather dry in this section.
Times are dull, of course, because of
the great scarcity of money. Money
is all we need to make us comfortable
and ~contented. Tobacco is our o
crop, but it has been SO low the past
few years that our farmers are In a de
plorable condition. Well, we hope for
better times by and by, when the PEG
pies party gains the national victory,
which I look for in 1896. Our State
battle was we'll fought, the victory
won, the smoke has cleared away and
some Of US are feeling good. Junius
W. Sp aars, the leader of the Populists
in Forsy tn county, carried our banner
on to victory. The grand speeches he
made in this county and his unanswer-
able arguments in favor Of more money
caught the voters going and coming.

MIR. Slater. of the finance divis-

today hat the money to pay the
settlers on the Grow Creek lands
in South Dakota, who were dis.
possessed by President C!eveland'e
order in 1885, was ready to be dis
tributed. but that the claimants
were widely scattered and the a l.
dresses of a large majority we're
not known. All that vii be nee
essary for the claimants to Go is to
communicate with Mr.. Slater, with
proofs OF their identity with the
original settlers, and they will re-
ceivc payment for their claims in
a very short time. The approprl-
alton bill providing for the pay.
ment of these claims names each
claimant and provides a specific
amount for each one, 50 that the
claims will not linger IN the bureau
after the manner of such claims in
general. II is therefore to the in.
tercst of the parties interested to
make their addresses known as
soon as possible, and Mr.. Slater Is
very anxious that they should do
so.-Sioux City Journal, Sept m
