Tho First Blow at siiver-Tho Necessity
for q BOnd Iasuc.
But for the striking down Of silver,
the contraction Of the currency supply
by 900, 900, 600 n year, and the treat
mcnt OF nll our silver money Ms mere
token money, to be redeemed in gold;
Mr.. Carlisle's necessity for borrowing
$50, 600, 900 in gold would not now ex-
ist- It is the first direct result OF the
silver repeal act Of last November.
It was intended, too, by tho gold
standard ring. Senator Jones, OF Nc
vnda, spoke prophetically on October,
80. 1898, as follows: 1.-THE repeal of
the Sherman law, IL accomplished, will
be but one-half of the scheme Of tho
binlss They desire to get silver first
out OF tho way. The project Is, and
the determination OF the banks is, that
they must be permitted TO have
money. They insist that tho
government shall cease the iss,l-
nnce Of money. and hand
over the prerogative to them. BY the
constitution tho right TO coin money
was given TO congress The bankers
do not believe that was wise pro-
vision on the part of the trainers Of the
constitution, who should have dcvolvcd
this duty upon tho banks. When sill
yer is out Of tho way they will nc
quicsce in the views OF the producers
of the country that moro money Is nee
essary, and will demand IN issue OF
several hundred million dollars Of
bonds in order that the country may be
enabled to have n sufficient volume Of
money TO do its business and maintain
some degree of prosperity. They hope
and expect that by the time they are
ready to push this demand the distress
Of tho country will'be 30 grent for want
OF money that their wishes will be
complied with" ~
The hope and tho expectation Of the
bankers gold ring, thus described with
exnctncss three months ago by Senator
Jones, have been fully realized
Silver's dcmonctization has done its
intended worlt-crcated deficit in tho
gold reserve fund, helped to enlarge
the hole in the revenues, and made the
whole country feel the pinch OF hard
times ns It never felt it before. s~se,,
And now the proposal is to borrow
more gold, from the gold ring OF course.
pay 1t more intcrcst-in gold, OF course
and do it, too, without tho consent
of congress.
There are nrc too many friends of
silver in congress TO allow this latest
plot Of the gold ring TO go through un-
challenged.

81 AN ENGLISH VIEW. ~
The Repeal of tho sherman Act Will No
Bring Better Times

The Repeal of the sherman Act Will Not
Bring Better Times
Moreton Frewen, the English bimet-
allist was asked for an expression of
opinion concerning the effect upon
business which would follow the repeal
of the Sherman silver purchase act.
and when asked il he coincided with
the view that the repeal Of the act
would bring buying orders from Lon
don to Wall street, replied:
mo, sir; London will be seller for
a long time to como. We are in great
trouble in Australia and in India Our
export trades with China, Singapore
and South America are already para
lyzcd by the fall in the rates OF silver
exchange. London has been praying
that you will stop your silver pur-
chases, thinking that then your stock
market will recover, SO that she may
send you home your securities realized
at higher prices We are in no posi-
ton to buy. The great English manu-
featuring fortunes have suffered terri
bly,"
Asked as to his view Of our currency
needs; would an increase of the gold
in the treasury enable us to increase
safely our silver or paper issues, Mr..
Frewen said:
Not at all; that point was very sci
entifically dealt with by Senator Jones.
If, for example, you borrowed five
hundred millions of gold in Europe and
brought IT to the treasury and issued
more paper or moro silver, looking to
the gold to secure the convertibility OF
your silver or paper, what would occur2
The increased volume of your currency
would merely raise prices here;
your imports from Europe, attracted by
those higher prices, would swell in vol
ume, the balance of trade would turn
against you, and the gold would go
abroad once more. When we in Eng
land have financial troubles, times are
bad and prices there are depressed, SO
that your exports to England fall OF.
and, your imports remaining the same,
gold leaves you. To borrow gold in
England and to bring it here inevitably
turns the balance Of trade against this

KANSAS IRRIGATION.

Promoters of Enterprises for ReclaIming
the Arid Region Active.
- TOPEKA, Kan, March 2O-The open
winter and early spring in Kansas has
added new interest to the question of
irrigation in the western half of the
state, and the promoters of various en-
terprises for retaining the arid region
are active in pushing their plans so as
to be ready for this years crops. Con-
sulting Engineer Hinckley, of the Kan
sas Irrigation association, has returned
here with very encouraging reports
from that section. Along the Santa
Fe from Great Bend to Coolidge, he
says, wind mills and reservoirs are
being put in on every hand. Mr..
Hinckley has been testing the
Arkansas valley water supply and
underfow) on to the top of the ground,
and he says that for a body of land en-
bracing 1000 acres or more the gravity
supply is the cheapest Eastern capital
lists, through Mr.. Hinckley, have sub
mitted proposals to two canal COM
panies (whose canals are now without
water) for furnishing to the canals a
permanent gravity water supply free
from expense for operation or main
tenance and at such cost that one
irrigated crop, or two at the most, out
of its net profit will cover the whole
investment for both land and water.
Mr.. Hinckley says that many invest
tors have gone into western Kansas
without a proper consideration of the
water supply, without which much of
the lands have but little, if any, value.
He says that in an area of 25, 900, 600
acres not more than 1000, 900 acres can
ever be permanently watered. As a
natural result those lands that secure q
permanent supply will increase in
value to $50 or $50 an acre, and 8, 900, 900
acres in western Kansas, with water
assured, will raise more than 80 OOO, 900
that depend on rains in eastern Kansas
Aside from the underflow along the
rivers and streams. the artesian wells
will supply the upland country if prop
erly distributed on each quarter section
| of land. There are 300 artesian wells
in Meade county that come from IT'S to
200 feet below the sheet water. This
shows that water in Kansas is to be
found at unknown depths-water be-
meath water.
