JONES OF NEVADA.

Naturally. this great champion of the
plain people must be one Of them. At
least he ought to be, so that he can declare
from his own experience all the evils of
being trodden down and crushed under the
monopoly wealth. II is only the poor man
who can truly appreciate the misfortunes
and sufferings Of the poor, and it IS emil
nently proper that such man, speaking
from his own experience; is bet .er than
any other able to champion the cause Of
the people.
Such a man. unfortunately for his unself-
ish and humane pretensions, is not TO be
found in Senator Jones. He is a capitalist
of the capitalists, a millionaire Of the mil
lionaires. True, he is not a"gold bug" but
he is the worst sort of a bug for all that
a humbug. SO far as his sympathy for the
plain people is concerned. Here is his
portrait, painted by Judge Sol. Calhoon in
his great speech at Jackson, Miss, on
Wednesday night.
This speech by Judge Calhoon is one Of
the plainest. simplest. clearest and most
efficient presentations OF the financial
problem of the money Standards that has
been made anywhere. It was printed In
full in yesterdays CTaursday's) Picayune,
and it is worthy Of being printed in letters

Chicago. June 26.-The Railway Age has
compiled statistics from it's own cores
pondents in all parts of the country to
show the work of railroad building in the
different states from January l to July l,
of this year. The figures show a total of
cal miles of track laid on 65 lines, against
525 miles on 81 lines in the first half of
1894. From the work now in sight it looks
as if the new track added in 1895 would ag
gregate $500 miles. with possibility of a
better showing if times continue to i'm
prove rapidly. In % of the 40 states and
territories no track has been laid this year
In Connecticut, Delaware, Nevada, Ne

ANGLo-AMERICAN COLLEGE SPORTS
Harvard Acts on the OxfOrd-Cam-
bridge Challenge.


Boston, June 26.-The first official reco-
gnition which Harvard has made of the
Oxford-Cambridge challenge to Harvard
and Yale has just been taken, when the
committee met to take action on it.
Whatever the committee did will not be
given out, as Prof. Ames, its chairman,
prefers the result of the meeting to be
known from other sources. The Harvard
action has been sent TO Yale, and 1t proba>
bly, will not be known here until the mes
sage has been cabled to England.
Although nothing of the above will be
given out by the Harvard committee IL
is safe enough to say that Harvard has
declined to accept the challenge. The
prophecy is based upon the opinions of
men on the inside who know the real
motives and sentiments OF the Harvard
authorities.

Proportion of Values Between Gold and
Silver IL n Mercantile Problem.
When our mint was established in
lT02 and was about To be opened to tho
free coinage of both metals, the main
question was. What shall the rntio be?
All agreed that it must DO the CONNER
cinl ratio. Hamilton, IN his celebrated
report on tho establishment of the mint,
said, There can hardly be II better rule
IN any country for tho legal than tho
market proportion" Thomas jefferson
said: Just principles will lead us to
Disregard legal proportions altogether ;
to inquire into market prices of gold In
tho several countries with which we
shall bo connected in commerce., and to
take advantage of them. The proportion
between tho values Of gold and silver is
mercantile problem altogether. " And
30 they made tho mint ratio 10 to /.
which ut TINT time was the commercial
ratio Besides, certain powerful common
cial nations, among them England and
France, We're mt thut time coming both
metals free Mt practically tho same ratio
How different the situation now, when
the commercial ratio is 80 to /, and the
mints of all the commercial nations are
closed against the free coinage of silver
Certainly thore il no precedent of any
country, or Of any combination of coun-
tries, by mere acts Of legislation dou-
bling tho value of the world entire
stock of silver bullion and coin. Yet TO
raise the ratio from 32 to to 16 to

worlds entire silver stock, for the price
of silver is fixed i'll tho markets of the
world and ID practically the same in all

Coxey.s "oood Road.. sc,,.,r.

General Jacob S. Coxoy of tho late
army Of weary walkers was the badly
defeated Populist candidate for gov
ernor Of Ohio. His platform was
"Greenbacks and Good Roads," md
he would have been content with n
modest 5000, 900, 900 of fiat currency for
IA starter, the money to be expended in
building good roads throughout the
country.
Has Statesman Coxey reflected on the
certain result of better roads! Will not
improved facilities for getting to mar
ket mean cheaper transportation Will
that not mean cheaper farm products?
And can it be possible that any true
Populist favors "a scheme which will
make things cheaper?
1t must be mistake. What the lute
general really wants to do is to tear ND
all tile roads how existing. This will
make things scarce and dear. Everything
will go up. Even the chickens will
roost high when the army of the COM
monwealth is Oh the march. The idea
that Coxey wants things cheap must be-
goldbug SANDER, for the burden Of his
plea for free silver and greenbacks is
the complaint that prices are now too
low.

FALLING Prices NO EVIL.
False and Unsound Position Taken by tho
FREQ Silver Advocates.


In all FREQ coinage arguments it Is
taken for granted that falling prices are
all evil, and that it is the duty of the gov
eminent to take some action to increase
prices, or mt least maintain them ut their
present level. 1t is OH this ground that
tho silverites object to our present finan-
oial system and demand the adoption of
u cheaper standard Of value which
would double prices Us based Oh q dol
lar worth only 80 cents. 1t Is this
promise Of getting higher prices that is
tho chief attraction in tho free coinage
agitation for the farmers. who natural
ly wish to get MS much as possible In re
turn for their products.
Though the delusion which underlies
the complaints against lower prices has
been exposed over and over again, it
still docs duty in all tho FREQ silver lit
erature with which the country is being
flooded Yet littlo reflection should
show tho folly Of tho idea that high
prices for commodities aro beneficial.
The welfare and prosperity Of tho peo-
pie depend largely OH the amount of tho
products Of labor which each can secure
for his own uso. Since tho dawn of civ
ilization men have been striving to pro-
duce larger quantities and better quail
ties of food, clothing, etc. All the i'm
portant inventions. the new machinery
and discoveries in agriculture. manufac-
turing and transportation. have had the
effect of making the production of
wealth of all kinds vastly easier. In
consequence goods nre now far cheaper.
measured by their labor cost, than ever
before in the history of the world. Who
is there who will say that this is bad
thing. and that it would DO better if
goods wero still scarce and dear?
1t is noticeable that tho pretense of
higher prices is made only to the farmers,
tho silveritcs being too slrewd to try to
fool tho workingmcn with scheme
which would double tho price of evory-
thing they buy. But free coinage would
not increase i'll the slightest degrees the
real valuo OF even the farner Is products
1t would merely double the nominal
price. but as it would also double the
price of all labor products which the
Turner buys ho would he no better off
than under tho present system Tho
evils which advocates of honest money
know would follow FREQ coinage may
not bo admitted by silvcrites, but if they
nro honest they must acknowledge that
an attempt TO make goods more valuable
through dcbasing the currency would
certainly fail of its purpose
The cOnfounding of two entirely diff
ferent things, prices and values, is Mt
the bottom of the idea that low prices
arc injurious. In SO fur MS tho money of
country measures prices it must effect
every kind of goods alike, and SO II gen
eral decline in prices hurts no one, and
as lower prices due to chcaponcd pro.
duction simply means that goods can BIO
obtained by less exertion very few per-
SONS will be found willing to urge that
1t would be wise to go back to tho old
conditions of hard labor and limited
production

nMoNgY AND eANKING.n
An Excellent Treatise on tho Science Of
Money by Horace White.

Money by Horace White.
One of the most complete works Of it's
kind ever published iii this country is
"Money and Banking" by Horace
White. 1t is both historical and niiiIo-
sophical. and because Of logical arrange
mont Of subjects and topics, incidental
definitions and explanations of words
and terms used. and wide scope-em-
bracing discussions Of nearly every kind
of money and banking system tried or
proposed-it is as we'll adapted for the
uso of college students and general read
ers interested i'll economic subjects rs
for professors and experts ON financial
questions. A quotation from Mr.. Whites
preface will give MI idea of this latest
and very timely work on money:
"On the 25th of February, 1862, the
government of the United Suites made
its paper evidences of debt legal tender
between individuals. Tho nation was
thus sent upon tho wrong road, and has
been toiling i'll q wilderness ever since.
In addition to the injustice which it
wrought, the legal tender net filed tho
public mind with misconceptions and
delusions on the subject of money. go it
came to pass that although we adopted
irrcdcomable paper with tho greatest 70.
luctance we were willing to founder in
it il years after tho supposed necessity
for it had passed away. Then, partly by
design, partly by chance, wo resumed
specie payments, but the people had TO
largo extent lost sight of the funda-
mental principles of money Tho mis-
conceptions and delusions remained, tho
most dangerous and widely prevalent
boing tho notion that mere quantity is
desirable thing and that the govern
mcnt cun produce quantity and ought to.
ut is tho nim Of this work to recall
attention to first principles. For this
purpose it has been doomed best to be-
gin ut the beginning Of civilized lifo OH
this continent and to treat tho subject
historically. The science of money is
much i'll need of something to enlivcn
it. If anything can make it attractive,
it must DO tho story Of tho struggles of
our ancestors with the Same problems
that vex us The reader will find an
abundance of these in tho following
pages. Indeed complete and correct
theory of money might DO constructed
from the events and experiences that
have taken place on the American con-
tinent. oven il we had no other sources
of knowledge. This may be snid of the
science of banking also. All tho wisdom
and all tho folly Of the ages, rs to these
two rotated subjects, have been exploit
ed OH our shores within the space of less
thnn 800 years. -
MIR. White believes that it was great
mistake for the government to engage
in tho banking business and that the
normal and proper business of tho treas
ury is the collecting and disbursing of
public revenno. He sees but little pros
pect OF banking and other reforms or
even for clear thinking on currency
questions until We retire and cancel
the legal tendor notes aud restrict the
treasury to tho duties for which it WIS
originally and solely designed.
