WHEAT jumped TO about so cents
at Chicago last week, and in some
Of the Western markets to 81 cents.
This advance is accounted for partly
by the recent cold weather, but
largely by the fact that every day
shows more and more how much the
stock of wheat has been lessened by
the practice Of feeding 1t to stock.

HALsTEAD's OPINION OF " Com"
Col. w. II. Harvey, of Chicago,
known in the press as "Coin," has
published three little books on the
silver question, entitled Coins FL
nancial School," Up To Date" and
I" a Tale of Two Nations These
books are sold at about - cents each,
by mail, and are now largely circu-
lated throughout the country
Coin" is said to be coming money
on them. In these little books Col.
Harvey, (who, by the way, is a
brother of Judge Thos. ii. Harvey.
of Cabell county, this State at
tempts to present the silver question
50 clearly and in such way that the
ordinary reader will have no trouble
in understanding it. If Harvey is
right his books will do much good :;
If wrong they will do much harm
and they seem to be right or wrong
according to the bias of the readers
mind, or the standpoint from which
the question is viewed. The Popu-
list and the extreme silver advocate
doubtless regard Coins Financial
School" as veritable gospel, whilst
Murat Halstead has this to say of it =:
" 1t is book that is to the history
ana science of finance what the dime
novel is to literature. 1t is flurid,
shallow and vicious, SO crowded with
plumbers that il strains courtesy to
say are inaccuracies. There is hardly
anything fairly, clearly and precisely
stated in the book. 1t goes, how
ever, and is accepted as revelation
of truths for the people by a great
multitude. The illustrations are ut.
terly vulgar, and the maxims laid
down as foundation stones are stu,
pidities of falsehood."

A Gold Bug Explains.

ANNAPOLIS. August 6, 1895.
Mr.. Ednor--I have seen in your last
weeks REGISTER an item in the An
napolis News about Teutonic Gold
Bug, and should like to explain this
goldbugism in the most humble way.
The United States has been gold bug
as long as they have been in existence.
The silver never has been coined in
the United States higher than fifty
cents, just for making change; the sill
yer was only a mediator to settle small
amounts. As soon as the western silver
mines made such great outputs that
the price in silver dropped to the half
of the value what it has been, the
Congress made law in favor of the
silver kings to buy the silver to the old
price and the United States came out
with one hundred cents pieces of sill
yer, and it represents only the half
value, surface of the money shows.
Any kind of money in the United
States for change will do, but silver
cannot be used by International COM
merce. We have a great import of all
kinds of goods, where we need the
gold. We import coffee, rice, pepper,
dry goods. dye stuffs, etc., more than
one hundred million of dollars year,
which has to be paid in gold, not in
silver, and what we sell to foreign
nations we receive gold for. Every
nation is gold bug. Gold has a uni
versal standard; it is worth just as
much in America as in Europe or Asia.
Why shall we make silver to a stand
ard only good in the United States?
Would it not be better to give the
greenback party lift, paper money is
nothing worth. and the silver money
only the half. When we are bound to
trust the United States for the half of
the value we might trust it for the
whole of it. The silver kings of the
west have stopped mining, because
they cannot get the price of 16 dollars
to a pound, and gain only dollars to
a pound. Now will ask any man of
common sense if it don't pay to get
dollars for pound of silver? We
here in South Missouri would be glad
to have lead mines whereby only 4 or
5 cents for the product could be gain
ed. Our prospector for lead has left
Annapolis; as much as l heard about
him, he suffered from forgetfulness; he
forgot to pay part of his boarding
bill, but he probably will pay when he
brings his diamond drill.
The Teutonic Gold Bug doesn't live
in Bar Branch; he lives in Funk's
Branch. TEUToNIc GOLD BUG.

for the future glory of one man.
1t has proven the trivial influence of
the Republic and the sscuckoo" gang.
and caused the sneers of that paper to
be .ssicklied DER with the pale cast of
thought
We are accused of having been a
Republican many years ago. This is
true, but what has that to do with the
Democracy of to-day? The Republican
in 1872 solemnly announced that the
Democratic party which we had OPP
posed was dead-so dead that it stunk
and straightway performed its funer-
al obsequies. Examine your old files,
and see if you did not at that time say

There might be a worse place for a
picture than in Senator Stewards pa
per-the Rogue's Gallery. for instance.
The Republic has obtained enough
nickels in the last year by represent
ing itself to be a Democratic paper to
entitle its managers to very promi-
nent place in that collection. AS to
the double-leaded encOmium, the Re
public over a year ago succeeded in
driving articles thus distinguished from
the public prints.

From Statewide.

Ed. Register-Everything is very
quiet here, and we haven't much news,
but since our place has been so elab
orately made mention of by your An
napolis correspondent we have con-
cluded to send you few items.
1t is intended to remove the Scat.
terville mill from its present location
at this place in very short time. II
is generally supposed that the mill
will be located in what is known here
as the White Hollow, some 21 miles
north of Geo. Collins place, on Crane
Pond creek. The parties owning the
mill will secure mill-site from j. S.
Benson. This is probably the best
timber in the south end OF Iron coun-
ty, as it has never been culled. The
moving of the mill will be a matter OF
some difficulty, owing to the nature OF
the roads. being compelled to cross u
spur of the Stony Mountain, which is
one of the highest peaks in Iron coun-
ty, and is very difficult to cross with
loaded wagons; and when a traveller
mountain he is suddenly seized with a
longing desire to call up the elevator
boy.
John Stevenson of Vulcan having
sold his interest in the mill at that
place to j. H. Sutton, will probably
cast his fortunes with Stevenson &
Ruble. the mill firm of this place. JET
Lashley, who has been working a,
Scatterville, will take the position
made vacant by the resignation of Mr..
Stevenson.

Died-At East St. Louis, August 5,
1895, from apoplexy of the heart.
Mrs. GERTRUDE LOHREY, at the age OF
26 years.
Mrs. LOhrey was a sister of Messrs.
Joseph, Frank and Anton Schultz OF
Fredericktown; also. of the late Mrs.
j. A. Weber of Pennington. Mr.. and
Mrs. Lohrey came to Middlebrook IN
the year 1854, long before the Iron
Mountain railroad was finished. She
was the mother of nine children
eight daughters and one son-all liv-
ing. except the eldest daughter, Mrs.
Settle Smith of Fredericktown, who
died several years ago.
Mrs. Lohrey was an affectionate wife,
a good mother and kind neighbor, and
was loved by all who knew her.
Whenever she was called upon to help
her neighbors, in any case, she was al
ways ready and willing to assist in ev-
cry way. She was a devoted Catholic
ard pious- Christian. In former
years. before there was any church,
Father Tucker of Fredericton held the
Holy Mass in their house every month
for the people of Middlebrook and Iron
Mountain. The funeral was we'll at
tended by relatives and friends, al
though the notice given was very short.
Her remains were inferred in the Mid

band, who died about eight years ago.
May she rest in peace!
