SILVER IN THE oCCIDENT AND THE
ORIENT.

Consul-General Jernegan, of ShAng-
report to the Department. Of State at
Washington on trade relations with
that country, in which he argues in
favor OF an International standard of
values, giving, in suppore of this view,
facts and figures as to the relative pur-
chasing powers of silver and gold in the
Orient and Occident. He says while
China is Americas largest market for
domestic cotton, there has been falling
of from 65.s59,o 900 yards in 1892 to
s7.7os, 600 yards in 1898. In the case of
Great Britain, there has been falling
off from 4s7,475,000 yards in 1892 to
365, 4O5, 900 yards in 1898. The loss in
regard to the United States has been he
says. 80 great as to excite anxiety, and
in his opinion such importations will
be still further decreased by the mans
ufacture OF cotton goods in China and
Japan.
In the latter country the number of
spindles has increased from 43,70o
spindles in 1888 to 100000 in 1893. In
regard to China no full statistics have
been published, but 1t is estimated that
100000 spindles and 5000 looms are in
operation there. Cotton raising is on
the increase in China, where Japan has
been purchasing much raw cotton for
her mills. but the mills there will soon
force Japan to look elsewhere for her
supply. The last-named country, by
her position and general conditions.
must be the manufacturing country OF
Asia as Great Britain Is of Europe.
The cotton mills OF Japan. the consul.
general says, are highly remuneratlve,
and one of the reasons why they are
mora profitable than those of the United
States ia thu fact that silver Is paid the
employees by mill owners, while the
gold dollar, which is the basis Of w .ges
in the United States, is equal to two
dollars of Japanese silver. In 1873 the
mills of the Orient and Occident were
competing on equal terms.
Now each mill employs the same
amount of labor that it did in 1873, but
the owner of the mill in the United
States pays for the labor in gold at the
old rates, while the owner of the mill in
Japan gays for the labor in silver at the
old rates. Not only does this difference
exist in the value of currency paid as
wages in the Eastern and Western
countries, but 1t applies to whatever is
essential to the success of agriculture
and manufacturing enterprise. From
these facts the consul-general argues
that the inequality in the value of
gold and silver has reduced the gold
value OF the worlds property one-half.
He therefore fsvors an equalizing adj
juBtment between the two metals, with
out advocating gold or silver
standard, since, as long as silver is used
by one-hslf of the world and gold by
the other half, with wages in one-half
paid in depreciased and the other half
by an appreciated currency, rivalry is
encouraged between the respective
products of the labor of each with the
advantage in the outset to products OF
the laborer paid in deprecated cur.
rency, especially when the latter can
supply his daily wants with such cur
rency and which he willingly receives
and remains contented with.

Sad Death.

The death of Elmer Nj. butcher, the
nineteen years old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Julian butcher occurred at their home
0l5 Mulberry street on Thursday morning
after an illness of several weeks from ty-
phoid fever The deceased was a bright
and promising boy who finished his high
school work in this city last year, bearing
the honors of president of the largest
class which has yet graduated from our
public schools. He was making prepa-
rations for entering the Univer-
sity when he was taken i'll, and this dis
appointment he brooded over continually
during his sickness.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon
at O'Clock from the Armory, under the
auspices of Co. g., of which he was cor
poral Rev. j. M. Kerridge officiating.
Sixteen members of the graduating class
accompanied by Supt. Simmons, the high
school teachers and the class of '96 were
in attendance at the funeral. Many beau
tiful floral emblems graced the casket,
showing the esteem in which Elmer was
held. Pail bearers were selected from
Owosso Light infantry, and the Misses
Christine ellison, Lena and Liza Martin,

Free Trade Trick Fooled.

The outlook is becoming clearer. The
attempts made TO concentrate public at
tention OH the currency question have
failed signally. II would have gratified
free traders TO have sown strife among
the protectionists by creating new is
sues. Such strife might have undoubt-
edly weakened the protectionist cause
and enabled free traders to accomplish
their aims stealthily. But the patriot
ism and intelligence Of the people have
saved them from any such misfortune.
Protectionists are earnest, active and
united. They are strong i'll numbers and
are gaining in strength all the time.
They are refraining wjs from disputes
over details and holding firmly to the
broad principles on which protection to
home industry is founded.

Southwest Vernon Farmers Club

From the Vernon Argus:
The Southwest Vernon Farmers Club
held their October meeting with Mr.. and
Mrs. Ed. Easier. Most of the farmers have
their work quite well advanced, therefore a
goodly number were in attendance. A fter
the usual business preliminaries, the CLUB
then took up the literary program, which
was tiled, everybody taking the part as
signed them. Among the questions brought
up for discussion were: lis the travelling
salesman benefit 10 the farmers or not?"
which was decided in the negative. Also,
(which Is the most profitable crop to raise,
corn or wheat?" which was decided In favor
of corn. The club then listened to some
excellent Instrumental music by Lille
Prior, also fine recitation by Mabel Smed
ley, showing that people and things are not
always just what they appear. BY this
time the wistful glances toward the cook
room, suggested to the president that it was
time to close the meeting for something bet
ter, which he did, and supper was immedi.
ately served, and judging from appearance,
that's, the way the goodies disappeared,
we should say they were fully appreciated.

The lighthouse vessel was we'll pro-
