Some Facts Which The Goldbugs And
"Prosperity Howlers" Find Hard to
Tackle.
Judge Chas. P. Latham, In Rich. Times)
But" you say, "cotton will prove
the most puzzling problem of all to
them" Cotton within the last SIX
months has almost doubled in val
ue." why has that gone up so
amazingly in price, if the demoneti-
cation of silver was causing so many
things to fall 2"
You gave a partial answer to this
question yourself when you say in
the same editorial that as we make
little more than half of our usual
cotton crop we ought to get double
price for it.
AS the United States produces
nearl y four fifths of the cotton of
the world, a failure of the crop in
this country will necessarily put up
the price, Notwithstanding the de-
monetization of silver, but produc-
ing little more than half of our usual
crop, cotton is now only 9 cents per
pound, whereas in 1873 it was twen-
ty cents. 1t has constantly and reg
ularly fallen since that time, until in
1894 it sold for little more than six
cents. In each of the years, 1888,
1884, 1885, 1856, 1887, 1888, 1889.
1890, the crop was larger than the
present one. The crop for all Of
these years were as large as usual,
and yet the price averaged more than
ten cents.
Before the demonstration of sill
yer we could make a full crop and
get good price for it, but now we
must make only half of our usual
crop or consent to take half price for
the full crop. This is the legitimate
effect of the destruction of one half
of our redemption money. A fail
ure of the American wheat crop
would have no effect upon the wheat
market of the world, because we
don't produce so great a portion of
the worlds supply of wheat as we do
of the worlds supply of cotton.
In 1873 we produced $3.50, sos bags
of cotton, for which we received
1901 ,OS7 800. In 1894 we produced
7,54O,S17 bales nearly twice as much
as in 1873, and yet we received for it
only $263,857 900 about $50, 900, O0C
less than we received for one half OF
the quantity in 1898. Who has got
ten the benefit of this fall in price
England and the other countries OF
Europe, because they purchased ev'
cry year more than two thirds of oul
crop.
1t seems to me Mr.. Editor, thai
the only thing produced in this coun
try that has not fallen in price dur
ing the last twenty years is gold, anc
the tendency Of the price of thai
is still upward. AS long as that goes
up the price of everything else mus
come down. 1t is governed. by tn
law of supply and demand, so Otter
quoted by you. Population and tn
demands of trade are constantly in
creasing, while the supply Of golt
remains unchanged. While this con
dition lasts the purchasing power O.
gold will continue to increase, an.
we had as we'll look the fact SQUARED,
in the face.

Erwin HOOstley and Bette Shields,
who have been lovers for some time,
fell out on account of HOOstley's Jeal-

as being absolutely and unquestiOnably

the line last year and so did North

If the representations of certain for
eign statesmen come true and Eng
land, Germany, France and Russia be-
come entangIed in a war over the
VeXed Chinese question, it would GER
tainly be the war of the century, if not
of all ages. Whether the present dis
agreement ends in war or in a peace
able settlement of the question, it is
matter OF interest to look at the great
commanders of each of the interested
nations. These are the men on whom
each of the great nations would rely
TO uphold her martial honor and dig
nifty.
Should the war take place on the
lines indicated by the present trouble,
it would be Russia and France on one
side with Great Britain and possibly
Germany on the other. AS far as
China is concerned the United States
would not have much reason to take
hand in the nightly conflict, al
though eminent statesmen here have
openly predicted that another war
with England is bound to come within
the next twenty years, and that the
present is as good time as any to
teach the naughty Briton the final
lesson.
Englands premier military man is
the Right Hon. Garnet Joseph Wolse-
ley, first yiscount of that name. In
event of war he would be the real
commanderin -chief of the vast forces
of Great Britain. He was. recently ap-
pointed to succeed the duke of Cam
bridge in the important post made va
cant by the extreme age Of the old
duke. Although appointed by both
houses of parliament some months
ago, Viscount Wolseley did not Off
cially take possession of the office I'M
til Nov. 1. The head of the British
army is now sixty-two years of age
and to relate his biography it would
be necessary to delve into the war his
tory of England during the past four
and a half decades. With forty-fve
years of hard service in all parts of

the earth at his back, he is certainly
an able military leader. He has
fought in Burmah, the Crimea, India,
China, Canada, Ashantee and Africa.
His Chinese experience would be OF
particular service in event of the pres
ent war rumors being realized.
The British army is now undergoing
a radical reconstruction recently for
INFLATED by the Harrington commits
sion. Lord Wolseley is thoroughly in
accord with the spirit of these changes,
although his own Office Of commander
in-chief is somewhat interfered with
His last office, that of commander-in-
chief of the army in Ireland, gave him
some time for social duties, and he
suddenly became as popular in So
ciety as he is in the army. Of course.
like every Other man who has practi-
cally worked himself from the bottom
to the tOpmOst rung Of the ladder, he
has his detractors, but these are few.
while his stanch friends in and out Of
the army can be numbered by the
thousand. He was the son of an Irish
major, not too we'll off in the worlds
goods, and his great success has been
wholly due to hard service and mer-
itorious work.
Nominally the young Gar Nicholas
would be in command of the Russian
army in the event Of war, but the real
leadership would rest upon the shoul-
ders of Gen. Obroutcheff, a man who is
entitled to rank with the finest soldiers
of the age. Obroutcheff is now about
sixty years of age. and for long time
his career was clouded by the suspi-
cion that he fraternized with the anar-
chists, a suspicion which his enemies
carefully nursed in the mind of the
late car.
The epithet red was invariably
tackled to his name as late as fifteen
years ago, and the third section of the
imperial chancellerie, without trou-
bling to inquire into the matter, placed
him on the list of dangerous" men

like that from the Russian police be-
comes practically indelible. and aide

though for many years such an agree
ment was bitterly fought by his oppo-
nent The success Of the move has
raised him to a high point in official
favor.
Of course, if the war broke out the
navy would play a most important
part in the campaign, and right here
it should be said that the Russian
navy ranks among the foremost of
the great nations of the world. Rus
STA at the present time has a large
naval force in the Orient under COM
mand of Vice-Admiral S. P. TyrtOf.
He would probably be the active rank
ing naval officer in event of trouble.
He was raised to the rank of rear ad-
mira1 in 1888, as a reward for the bril-
liant condition of the squadron that
served as escort of honor to Alexander
III. in his cruises in the Black sea.
The car reviewed at the time all the
vessels under Tyrtof's command. In
1891 Tyrtof was made chief of staff of
the fleet and commander of all ports
in the Black and Caspian seas. In the
same year he, as junior flag officer,
commanded the practice squadron in
the Black sea, and in 1892 was pro-
NOTED to be senior flag officer. In
October, 1892, Admiral Trytof was ap-

tribune" whose infallible instinct has
been vaunted so much, only looked
upon Saussier as a colonel of the en-
pire and treated him as such. After
that Saussier went once more to AL
geria. Saussier has had more fighting
than any general in the French army,
but it would be rash to say that this
made him a strategist. a brilliant
soldier he was and is still in spite of
his age. The Franco-Prussian war
and the campaigns in Algiers were not
the only fighting experiences of Saus-
sier. He also served in Italy, Mexico
and the Crimea. He was a deputy for
some time and in 1873 distinguished
himself in the discussions on the re-
organization Of the army.

NEW APPCRTIONMENT.
JACK TURNER PUTS FORTH
HIS PLAN.
Full Effect of the Measure Open to
Speculation-Sena Is Made
Republican However.

Madison, Wis, New. ia. J. Tur-
ner, of Portage, secretary of the legis-
lative apportionment committee, has
given to the public the draft of the
proposed rearrangem Of the state
into senate and assembly districts
which he was recently authorized to
prepare and submit to the committee
on the 25th inst. He himself declares
that he simply took map and the
census as a basis of work and paid no
attention whatever to political effect
81 kept" said he. strictly within the
limitations of the constitution and
the rules laid down by the supreme
court" So far as Dane county is con
cerned the apportionment is wholly
fair. The county is always good fight
ing ground and it Will under the pro
posed measure be composed of two
democratic and two republican dis
tricts.- In Milwaukee the republicans
will make big gain, getting at least
II out of the Is assembly districts
This is effected by keeping the few
democratic wards together. In gen
eral way it is estimated that, with 9
normal vote like that of 1892, the
lower house will, under this scheme
be somewhat republican-perhaps
having a majority of ten. But on q
similar vote the republicans will have
in the senate at least 10 or 20 out OF
the SO members and they may have
even more. The counties that alone
constitute senate districts are Dane

ever, be abnormally republican owing
to the fact that there will be 10 repub
1ican hold-overs in it and only demo
cratic. Not less than "a of the 3;
members will be republican. The
legislative committee may badly riddle
the bill and the legislature may still
further tear it to pieces. A specia
session to pass on the matter is an,
