Stage of Water.

Oconto, Wis, March 3O.-The disap-

pearing from the ponds.
Howard Eldred started this week to
make arrangements for repairing the
farm dam on the north branch and the
Oconto River improvement company is
improving the old dam on the north
branch. The Waupee dam will be com

is the growing of cane and the manufact-

planting cane about ten years ago, and a
half dozen manufactures were established
in this immediate vicinity The farmers
made much of Il success in the new VEN
ture for several years. but the early trosts
of late years have put a damper on the
business. Almost the entire crop was de-
stroyed one season and since that time
the farmers have been afraid to take the
risk of planting heavily. When the
sorghum craze began the factories were
run night and day to take care OF the
product, but now but few. of the mills
are operated and those only Tor 1eW

The ratio Of Ii TO means that lG
ounces Of silver is Of equal value with
one ounce of gold. This ratio j. liked
by weight of the metals and not by
value. and has varied at different times
and in different countries, 149. Is. 15..
and Is to /. Il is supposed to be fixed
or adjusted by the relative amounts OF
the two metals produced in the world.
When the production Of gold is in
excess the ratio falls, when the pro-
duction OF silver is the greatest the
ratio rises, for example, in 1871 the
worlds production of silver was q 9-lO
ounces to 8 lilo ounces OF gold, this
was in the ratio OF liz to !. IN 1893
the production was, silver 90 ounces
to A. ounces of gold, a ratio OF 2l3 10 /.
For the last twenty years the produc-
ton has averaged 90 ounces Of silver
10 5 ounces OF gold or a ratio OF 20 to ].
This is the Iatio fixed oy the produc-
ton only and has nothing to do with
the commercial ratio which is quite
another thing. There now being only
a limited demand for silver for coinage
purposes. The metal IS sold on the
market in the shape OF bullion f0. its
intrinsic value; at IS cents per ounce,
Tor silver the commercial ratio is 80 to
], that is it takes 80 ounces of silver to
buy n ounce Of gold: or to reverse it
n ounce of gold will buy thirty
ounces of silver.
At the ratio OF Ii to l the production
OF silver in the United States in dollars
is now and has been for many years
more than double the production Of
gold. In 1899 the value of silver In
dollars was 81, 000, 600 and the gold
$35, ZOO, 600. The production of silver
is on the increase Notwithstanding the
tact that the coinage is suspended,
emily a portion Of ,the silver co,aas
from mines which produce nothing cut
silver, the larger share of it comes
from copper, gOld and lead mines.
Silver is q by product Of the treatment
Of all of these metals. There are very
few gold mines which DO not Weld
some silver. often SO or 60 ner cent. OF
the bullion is silver. And the copper
mines in the west produce silver as do
the lead mines OF Colorado, Utah and
Nevada, and but very little gold is
found which is not ~associOted with sill
yer. It is from these sources that the
supply OF silver is kept UP. The more
copper, lead and gold ores that are
treated the greater the quantity Of
silver produced.
There is an idea current in some
parts OF the country that the Ameri-
a dollar is & debased coin, that it IS
not a legal tender for the payment of
debts in sums above five dollars. and
that it is not the equal OF the gold dol
lEr. but this is not true, the coined
silver dollar Of the United States OF
which there are Al, O0O, 900 in the
country are made by law and are a full
legal tender for all debts public and
private and just as much lawful money
in any respect at are the gold coins
