THE PARITY OF PRODUCTION.

The production of gold in 1894
was $lSl,OO0,O0O, and the product
ion of silver reckoned at the rate of
$1.2O per ounce, which is on the
ratio of 16 to /, was $2Oi,OOO, 900.
The great increase in silver pro-
duction was in South America,
while the great increase of gold
was from the African mines. TAX
ing this world production and we
have $33,OOO,OO more of silver pro-
duced than of gold. If we take out
from the gold production and the
silver production 40 per cent. for
uses in the arts it leaves $1O4. .O00,-
600 of gold and S. 2s, ,4OO,O 900 of silver
to go to the stock of the worlds
money. AS there is no coinage to
any great extent in the gold stand
ard countries of course the silver
that is available for money would
60 to the silver standard countries,
while the gold, about $104,000, 900,
would be divided up between all
the nations of Europe and the
United States. If all the gold thus
made available for coin was equal
ly divided among the countries u.s.
ing gold 1t would make an addition
of about 3 1-2 per cent. to the total
gold stocks, there being on hand as
coined money $3,939,57s,0OO in sill
yer and $3,7l1, 1,s45,OOO in gold.
What stronger evidence can
possibly be given that gold and
silver on ratio or Is l-2 or 16 to !
should be freely coined since ma
ture produces these metals almost
exactly at that ratio and all the
devices of man for mining, saving
and refining these precious metals
thus far seem impossible to disturb
this parity of production. Nature
makes the metal, man ought to
make the coins on the same ratio.
While nature certainly limits the
quantity that can be produced the
governments would be safe in hav-
ing the coinage unlimited or rather
limited only by production.-Plai,1

CRUSHED STONE ROADS.
They Can BE Built Cheaper Than the
Old Fashioned Gravel Roads.

Our gravel beds, which a few
years ago supplied us with excel
lent gravel for road purposes, have
gradually degenerated to cobble-
stone, says an Illinois man. Some
thing had to be done, and our COM
missioners purchased a crusher
and put it to going on this stone.
Much to their surprise, as well as
that of the rest of US, the machine
easily turned out yard of splen-
did road material every five min
utes. They hired a traction engine
at $5 a day to furnish power. 1t
furnished power and could have
run another crusher Mt the same
time. The following details may
interest highway commissioners
having to contend with too much
coarse stone in their gravel beds:
We crushed yard of stone every
five minutes, paying $5 a day for
power. Six shovelers fed the crush
er. The material was elevated In.
to the wagons, therefore but one
handling was required. The adj
vantnges over the old way of road
making in this locality were almost
too numerous to mention.
We can keep our pit in the best
possible shape and leave it in that
condition for the next time. With
little headwork by the commits.

build a crushed.stone road cheaper
than we did a gravel road. The
reader can figure from this data

use crushed rock or gravel, and, ol

effect on the league II ia greatly
to be regretted that the convention
took the cowardly course it did.
A great and, in a sense, repre-
sentative body of young Republi-
cans met in national convention.
and, after long discussion, came
to the conclusion that it had no
principals to declare. That is the
ugly look which the matter bears.
The trouble with the league lead
ers was that they busted their
minds too much with the thought
of what would help or injure the
party and too little with the
thought OF what was right. AS a
consequence, the party probably
would be better off II the conven.

Of? Simply that the silverites

COLUMBUS, o., June 24.-There has
been lively shaking up of affairs at the
penitentiary during the pnst week. Or
ders have been flying thick and fast
through the different departments, and
In many instances resulted in the taking
away Of privileges which have been en-;
joyed by prisoners for at least score Of
years past. The first order issued by
Warden James was sent to the state
shop Monday last, and direoted that all
caps other than those containing the
black and white stripes be gathered up
and destroyed. Another order has been
issued that every convict shall wear the
regulation shirt and that no other kind
will be permitted. This is the most
sweeping order Of the lot. The prison
