The Price OF Silver Controlled by Its
Production.

Below we give an extract from
speech recently made by Judge George
N. Aldridge, OF Dallas, Texas, which
has since become famous:
aNow, they say there is a combina-
tiOn i'm this country against silVor-to
press it down and hold up gold. They
say that is why silver has deprecated.
want to show you why silver has de-
preciated. In the first place you can
buy n wagon to-day for almost n third
of what you could have bought it ten
or twenty years ago. You can buy
finished steel plows for great deal
less than you formerly paid for the
iron Of which they were made /; in fact,
everything that is made by machinery
has cheapened. They have applied
machinery TO the production of silver,
and that is what is the matter. Let
me give you an instance: Down in
Mexico some of our Dallas people in
vested in the Rosario mine. Several
millions OF dollars were taken from II
years ago. Upon the side of that
mountain, two-thirds Of the way up. is
a bole that looks like a bee hole. The
Mexicans went in there aud kept fol-
lowing that vein up and down aud a.
round until finally they got down into
the interior Of the mountain, and il is
estimated that a Mexican could not
make more than two trips a day, and
the hole through which he passed was
so small that nearly all the distance he
bad to drag the sack of ore and crawl
OH his knees. So Il would take a man
q whole day TO load donkey, and then
he had 10 carry II a long way 10 the
smelter. Tho Dallas people got an en-
gineer, who went aud located exactly
where the bed OF orc was, and then
they ran tunnel under it aud a shaft
up 10 il, so that all they had to do was
TO place some dynamite there, blast IL
out and dump IL into the cars; and
they could load whole train quicker
and easier than n Mexican could load
his jaekass. Now, that is what is the
matter with silver. Its development
by machinery has been going on in eV-
cry country of the world, and the COLI
sequence is that silver has cheapened
because Of its Ovcr-production.
IL want to show you how the pro-
duction OF silver has grown. want
TO show you that the abandonment Of
II as a standard metal was beyond the
control Of any human agency on earth.
/ will call of to you the amount of sill
yer produced in the United States for
each of the years every ten years: In
go the United States produced 1,500,-
900 in silver, in 1870 ii produced S16,-
100000, in 1880 il produced S38,450.-
900, in 1890 it produced $40, ,464, 1000,
aud two years later, $74,9s9,OOO. 1t
has more than doubled in every ten
years.
"Now, we will apply little common
sense to that as we 90 along. In 1860
the south made 100000 bales of cot
ton. Suppose in 1870 she had made
100000 bales, IN 1880 100000 bales
aud in 1890 100000 bales, what
would cotton be-wOrth? Yon could
not give it to a man. That is what IS
the matter with silVer.n

The editor Of the Wesson Mirror,
who is himself an Iowa man, says :
"A very nice exhibit will 60 from
this place to Sioux City, thanks to
the enterprising men Of our town,
who want to see il built up. Some
individuals think and say that such
things do no good. But we know
to the contrary. There are many
towns in Louisiana that are being
built up by just such methods Of
advertising their resources.
"We are in receipt os a letter from
Mason City, Iowa, stating that there
are three or four families there who
expect to come south this winter,
and asking us TO send them inform

Fatal Cattle Disease.

The most fatal cattle disease ever
known here, is now prevailing. A
number Of COWS died in July from
some mysterious cause, supposed
TO be from drinking water the Coop
erage Company had boiled logs in.
Sometimes there is poison oak on
these logs, and this is supposed to
have poisoned the water. AT pres
ent some disease is carrying them
of as fast as they can be hauled a.
way. 1t is the law now, that the
carcass Of any dead animal must be
hoated out into the middle of the
river and there turned loose in the
current.-Coahomian.

Or have you faced the Fire OF Kor2
Or whence the form. the eyes. the mouth,
The veice, the grace we praised OF yore2
An, lightly must the years have sped,

That cast no SHOWS upon your head,

And gently must the heart have beat,
That, after many days, can send

The advent Of 30 old friend.

But Time, the thief Of all things sweet,

One touch OF youth he cannot steal,
One trait there Is he leaves you yet,

The people Of the United States
have seen the end OF protective tar
if legislation. Congress will never
pass another tariff bill increasing
the duty on any manufactured pro-
duct for the purpose Of giving pro-
lection 10 the manufactures. The
future tariff legislation of the Unit
ed States will tend constantly to-
ward schedules on a revenue basis.
The new tariff act reduces McKIn-
ley duties an average Of 30 per cent.
The next tariff act will reduce the
new rate of duties 80 per cent, or
perhaps more. Chicago Herald,

= New Ulm, MIMI, Jan. 30.-Late yes
terday afternoon sentence was passed on
Michael NJ. Madigan, convicted of per-
jury. MAdigan WAS on hand, nervous IS
ever, and he moved about the room with
torney made u motion for Oh arrest Of
judgment and argued it on the ground
that the indictment was bad in that it
alleged no material allegations. The mo-
tion was denied ald the judge called
AIadigan to the bench and administered
the oath. He was asked what was his
business before lie was convicted, and
replied that he was an attorney at law.
he gave his age as fortyfour and said
that he never learned any mechanical
trade. When asked if he had anything
to say why sentence should not be passed
on him he replied that he had not. His
attorney, however, pleaded that the
juGge. should temper sentence and justice
with mercy, ard when he had finished
the judge pronounced the sentence Of
three years and three months ut hlrd
labor in the state prison at Saltwater.
The sentence is severe one, but the
judge evidently took into consideration
the station of the pri: oner. His attorney
then asked for day on which to argue
motion for new trial, and Feb. 20
was fixed by the court. Madigan will
be at liberty until then under 5000
bonds, and the execution of sentence
has also been stayed until that date.
The defense is clearly paving the way
for an appeal to the supreme court.

The Lunncy Law.

st. Paul, Jan. 30.-The board of trus-
tees of the state hospitals for the ILL
sane are to hold a special meeting to-day
at the Ryan hotel to consider what ac-
tion can be taken by the asylum au-
thorltles with regard to the supreme
court decision as to the unconstitutional
lty OF the lunacy law of 1893. This de-
c'sion puts the superintendent of the
asylums in the awkward position of hay-
ing in their charge upwards of 100 pa-
ticnts who have been illegally examined
and committed. While these patients
are, i'll the majority of cases, unquestion-
ally insane, many of them dangerously
so, the question arises whether, under
this decision, the superiLtendents are not
ilmhic TO prosecution and damages for
false Imprisonment. Gases in which there.
have ever been any question on this score
have caused considerable trouble in the
past. Secretary Hart will be present ut
the meeting to-day and the state legal
authorities rcpreSented
