WILL DECLARE FOR SILVER.
Almost Certain Action of the Ohio
Democrats.

Democrats.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, May y, 1895.
It Is almost certain that the democratic
state convention will declare in favor of
free silver. The free silver sentiment seems
to generally pervade the party. Senator
Brice has declared war upon the free silver
movement as he sees it, and announced his
intention to prevent the adoption of free
silver resolution in the convention. He will
have hard work to do so. The fight is al
ready on. The Senator will strive to have
a late date set for the state convention.
This he will work for in order to have time
to counteract the work already done by the
friends of free silver. He and his friends
believe also that the times will improve
rapidly from now on, and that by the close
of summer the so-called calamity argu-
ment of the free silver advocates will have
disappeared.
Thurman. E. B. Finley Editor Holden of
the Cleveland Plaindealer and other free
silver advocates are asking that the con-
vention be called at once. AS the chair
man, A. w. Smalley, is close friend of
Senator Brice, the latter will probably win
this preliminary contest at least.

Horticulture.

horticulture is practically divided
under three hssds--Aowers, fruits and
vegetables. For the present let as in a
general way consider the second, fruit,
and we can afterwards get down to par
tiCulars. Which kinds Of fruit are best
adapted to Kansas, are the most easily
raised, produce the surest crops, and
what are some Of the requisites to sue
cess in fruit culture? / reply, in small
fruits the kinds best suited to us are,
first, the grape; second, the blackberry;
and third, the strawberry. In tree
fruits, first, the apple; second, the cherry;
third, the peach. Then the other kinds
that are suited to special localities or
need special care are the plumb, the
pear, the raspberry, the junebery, and
the gooseberry.
Having for ten years been engaged in
raising fruits for market as part Of my
business, / feel qualified to speak on
these to the extent of my observation
and experience, Rs we'll as on account Of
frequently going through the farming
districts and knowing well how they are
getting on in the culture Of both small
and tree fruits.
The grape stands at the head of the
list 40 being the fruit best suited to Kan
BRs, al our summer suns, pure stmos-
phsre, and early rains, Rs well as our
mild and short winters, are the very 90.
sentiRl things which the grape requires;
and experience shows that We can have
more fruit in q shorter time with less
labor and expense than any other kind
we can raise.
The blackberry comes next in sure
ness Of crops and hardness Of canes as
the fruit to give quick and sure returns,
and the strawberry follows q close third
in sureness Of crops, but takes consider
ably more hand labor in proportion to
the quantity OF ground.
In tree fruits all will acknowledge the
apple to be the first on the list, and for
hardness will stand more abuse and
neglect and still live than any other
fruit We have, and Of ell the fruits ia the
most indispensable.
The cherry comes next in my opinion
though many will say the peach, but the
cherry is better suited to all parts of the
state than the peach, because in the
north half Of the state the peach is an
uncertain bearer, though in all places
easier to grow 90 tree than the cherry.
Now in future numbers we shall take
up these fruits separately in detail, and
discuss the culture OF them, the soil, To-
cation, varieties, etc, and also the fail
uTes WO have noticed, and the remedies
Tor them, % we'll % the enemies Wo have

Co-operatlye Commerce and Flnance.

tion on commerce and finance, which Of
the two is the most important and
should be considered first and thor.
oughly understood, the exchange or the
bank. The exchange represents COM
merCe, and the bank represents the
money. The two are very closely re-
lated, Rs the one cannot prosper any
length Of time without the other, for q
panic on change makes q crisis ct the
bank, and q crisis st the bank makes q
panic at the exchange, But money Ia
the strongest and commerce depends
upon the money, and, therefore, is some
times subject to cruel bondage and
sacrificing in prices, not because of
shrinkRge in value as much ss scarcity
Of money or bank credit, which is a
commerce the same az money.
Garfield, / think it was, said whoever
controls the money of q country con-
trolls the commerce Of that country,
Then the question arises, Do the
banks control the money Of this ma.
tion, and thereby control the COmmerceH
Il is for the people to decide who should
properly control the bank, the govern
ment or private corporations,
Under our present banking system the
banks control 80 per cent. and the gov
ernment onlyS per cent. And what rev.
enue are the hanks receiving under this
system through deposits and loans, also
the power in their hands to increase or
decrease at their will the amount Of
money in circulation, as is shown by the
comptroller's reportsP In comparing the
reports for the last five years, we find
our circulating medium has varied from
$89 85 per capita in the year Of 1890 to
&9742 in 1892, an increase Of nearly S8
per capita. And, again, in 1894, it has
decreased to S93.57--Sbout "a per capita.
Or in the first case, about 500 million
dollars; and in the latter 260 million dol
lars. This, of course, is bank credit, but
it is the same to commerce as though it
was gold, because it has done it's duty
as money. Every time it went out Of
the bank it settled and adjusted bal.
snces; gold could do no more.
On the other hand, the bank receives
its revenue each time q loan is made,
and the money, through the exchange
returns to the bank again, or, in most
cases, there is no money exchanged, but
simply a check or draft, which ia shown
by reports Of the clearing houses. It's
business has been done on about 95 per
cent. checks or drafts, and 5 per cent.
cash.
Then, again, the secretary Of treas
ury's report shows about 1,700 million
dollars Of money, all told, in the United
States, which is more by several mil
lions than can possibly be in circulation,
for the reason that q great deal Of our
gold has been shipped to Europe, and
the loss Of the gresnback, which alone
is estimated at about so million dollars.
But taking this report for it, We have
about S24 per capita, with very little
variation, and knowing that the people
carry money in their pockets, and some
is boarded, and again some Is not do
posted, on account Of the business loCa-
tlon-all this together win make several
hundred millions of dollars.
