BLAZE IN A BOG.
Terrible Heat From a 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 names, 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.

differs from the cases previously de
citled, in that the law which took effect
III 1878 specified that the treasurer must
thereafter turn al fees and perquisites
into the state treasury. The defendants
contended that this implied a ratifca.
tion of their acts in taking interest, but
Judge Siebecker hollis it has been de-

The truth is that reliable statistics, as
well as our own experience and Observa-
ton, demonstrates to us that there Is no
lack of circulating medium, that we never
had greater per capita amount OF money
in circulation than now, and that the vol
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 cur farmers in many
localities, especially in the upper
country, but this lack comes, not from
a 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, il you please. In tie for
mer, with 20 townships of land, 1900 peo
ple, 81 creameries and 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, IS GOO people. only two
creameries, a not numerous amount Of
cattle, still fewer sheep and hogs, a 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 differenceP They both
exist under the same currency and the
same flag The difference is this: In the
county of Freeborn the farmers have
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.

From this statement it appears that we
have never had higher per capita circular
ton than on the 1st day of June, 1894,
when it reached s. maximum OF S24.54 per
capita, and we ali know that wheat never
was lower than III 1854. In 1898. when our
per capita circulation was S24.S7, wheat
$3.50 per bushel, while in 1871, with per
capita circulation of only Sl6.10, wheat was
worth 5i.25.S per bashel; thus demonstrate
ing that the volume of currency has no APP
preciacie 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 denonetjzed.
from 1872 to 1878, of which so much COM
plant has been made. the ay era,e price Of
wheat was 81. OIL per bushel, while in the
next FIVE years, from 1877 to 1893, under
the Bland law, the average price was 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 than
at any time since 1866 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 Lis surplus,
net in the banks, like our people, but
Eoaried at Home
in his chests and in his stockings. Besides,
it must be remembered that France keeps
$500, coo 600 permanent gold redemption

circulation of the several countries of the
world. The figures are very instructive
and elucidate what have said.

terests, but rather 10 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 the demand
would have been very limited and tho
home market exceedingly scant. Our
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 20
per cent CT al our agricultural products
find n market abroad Ia truth our agri-
cultural interests needed, above all 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 products greatly in
creased.
And without our extensive network Of
railroads, radiating in all directions and
extending to the oatarmost 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 and of our in

Without them adj trafiic.a nd intercourse

be in a state of apathy and helplessness.
The recent strikes have demonstrated
how entirely dependent we are upon the
transportation facilities of our railroads
1t 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 a large
army of unemployed and furnished them
with labor.
