TABLE SETT

TABLE SETTLES THE QUESTION.
A study OF this table would settle this
whole question that we are discussing in
this country mean an unselfish study
of tt-not a study to stick it in the flank
or to see where you could confuse some
one, but an unselfish study of that un-
selfish table made by unselfish men, and
you will settle this silver question in "a
hours afterward if you had a chance to
vote on 1t. (Applause)
1t shows you that the price of silver
was steady in it's exchange value with

you how prices have fallen since 1873.
1t does not isolate corn or oats and try

(Applause) 1t shows you conclusively
how the men who own money and secur-

absolutely dominate the toilers and pro-
ducers of the world.
Nov, l want the reader to connect
what l was saying when was trying to
arrive at how much money we needed in
this country, with what 1 am about to
say. By the Statistical Abstract, 1894,
page 367 there was, as have stated, in
that year 1,114,174 business concerns in
Jn0 united States. his means business
concerns such as the mercantile agencies
are asked to report on; men asking cred
it and buying and selling merchandise
from the wholesale house that requires
100000 capital down to the corner
grocery store. 1t does not include law
yers. 1t does not include doctors, unless
they are running drug stores, and does
not include tens of thousands of citizens
who need money, but am going to leave
these all out of my calculation. am
going to take these business concerns
that need cash capital and average their
cash capital at $4,000. They ought to
have 1t If they haven't.
"The average profit from business is
less than per cent. That much on 81

make that much with which his own
labor might support his family if he had
no rent to pay. say this to show that
+ $4,000 in money is an average small cap
ital, while many must be much larger.
This would require for the business of
the country 81, 4O0, 900, 900. You could. not

was not true that the owners of money

creasing in wealth, Mr.. Horn. The United

Now am going to give you what

for property has abnormally increased by
reason OF the reduced quantity of primary
money in the world. In England there
was founded in 1S43 an organization, a
society for the advancement of science
by researches into statistical and similar
matters. 1t was called the Royal Stats

MEXICO-ITS AREA, POPULATION,
TOPOGRAPHY AND RESOURCES.

From the Minneapolis Penny Press.
Because of the constant mention of the
Mexican people their condition and fu-
ture prospect, we have been asked to
give something more than a mere cur
sorry statement concerning Mexico, as the
above caption would imply, and quite
different from the ordinary mention of
that country.
In the limits of an editorial article, lit
tie detail can be undertaken, but fair
summary of all of the points mentioned
above may be had; and we therefore
cheerfully comply with the desire ex-
pressed by several correspondents, and
devote so much space to the subject.
Mexico contains an area of 747.9OO
square miles, being about one-flfth the
size of the United States proper. The
population of the country is about 49,
100000 souls.
AS every one ought to know, Mexico
is a Republic consisting of forty-five
states, and one federal district, both the
idea of statehood and the form of gov
eminent being copied after that of the
United States. The President of the Re-
public is elected for four years, Senators
for the same period of time, and repre-
sentatives for two years.
The topography of Mexico is some
thing wonderful even to contemplate,
much more to behold. All that portion
of country lying about either the Gulf of
Mexico or the Pacific Coast, below an
altitude of three thousand feet, is called
the Hot Lands, where temperature al
most torrid In it's nature, constantly pre-
walls and where every tropical fruit is
produced. The Table Lands are embrace
ed between the attitudes af 5000 and
5000 fete where all the results of the
temperature zone are obtained. 1t fol-
lows without saying that the highest
altitude presents a condition bordering
on that which surrounds the highest
Mountain Lands of North America, thus
presenting diversity of climate rang
ing from the lowest valleys to the high
est mountain peaks, rarely found in any
other one country.
Mexico has no harbors upon the gulf;
and the few which she has upon the Pa
cific Slope are so hemmed in and cut OFF
by the great mountain ranges, lying
close to the Pacific Ocean, that they are
of small value.
BY reason of the topography of the coun-
try, transportation from one point to an
other and interchange of commerce among
the different states, Is rendered almost I'm
possible-in fact until the Mexican Cen
trail Railroad was built with Yankee cap

FRIEDRICHsIUHE, April 2-Probably
the most interesting, in fact remarkable,
of the visits Of people to Bismarck was
that of the students, who were repres-
ented by q deputation 400 strong from
every university Of Germany. They were
the most enthusiastic crowd that had yet
entered the grounds of Friedrichsruhe
The strains of die Wacht am Rhein" in
the distance announced their approach
and Prince Bismarck received them ON the
terrace with the members of his family
around him. When the procession
emerged uron the triangular space under
the terrace it presented a strikingly
brilliant spectacle. the sun i;listening on
the drawn swords Of the students and
displaying 20 advantage the gorgeous
gala uniforms of the various corps, con-
sisting OF white breeches and gauntlets
and silk and velvet doublets, many colored
sashes and caps ornamented with ostrich
feathers
Their Greeting to the Statesman.
AT the moment the princes stately form
was recognized by the students and the
public there arose a mighty cheer which
echoed far and wide, and the students
clashed their swords together in the air.
Prince Bismarck wore cuirassier uni
form and was without cloak. He raised
his helmet and stood bowling until the
cheers had subsidized. The spokesman Of
the students Ceputation. Bruch, a theo-
logical student o>the University of Bonn,
then assembled the tribune and conveyed
to Prince Bismarck $he congratulations
of his fellow students. ard concluded with
presenting to the prince m address and
requesting him to accept as a birthday
present a handsome shaft of n.srble. iron,
silver, and gold, with symbolic.l figures
and surmounted with the GERMAN eagle.
Bismarck Proposes q Toast.
Prince Bismarck having inspected Spd
admired the monument, which occupied
a prominent place in a corner of the ter
race, advanced to the balustrade and
amid renewed cheers and changing swords
replied to the address of the students.
The ex-chancellor spoke for about twenty
minutes clearly and distinctly, referring
chiefly to the struggle for real national
independence in imperial unity, and CIV
ing the students advice Us to what should
be the policy of the future for Germany.
When he called for cheers for the en-
perur and empire the raspphSe was deafcn.
ing and then the students sang the "Bis-
marck Song" A few moments were then
spent in conversation with the students,
the prince walking about among them.
Returning to the terrace the prince took
| a beer glass from a set presented to him
| by the students and having filled it with
beer he raised it aloft with the words:
"Vivat academia; vivat membrum quo
| libot."
| sDeutschland, Deutschland Ueber Allies"
This toast, the beer having in the mean
! while been served, the students duly hon.
ored, Prince Bismarck draining his glass
and holding it upside down in order to
show that it was quite empty. The depu-
tations then began to march out of the
grounds singing Deutschland, Deutsch-
land, Ueber Allies and other patriotic
songs. The grounds were narrow and
the progress made was slow, particularly
as all the students were 10th to leave
while Prince Bismarck remained on the
| terrace.

both the great political parties. Among
the delegation were William L. Baker,
president of the Chicago Board of Trade,
and John A. Roche, ex-mayor of Chicago
AS spokesman for the delegation Mr..
Roberts described their reception rs fol-
lows: "Wc were received very pleasantly
and explained to the president the non par
tisan character of the invitation. We also
told him that the business men of Chi
cago heartily approved of the movement;
that while it was intended as n personal
compliment to him it had n still further
object in view-the development of an ag-
grcssivc sound money sentiment through
out the west. The president said that he
personally appreciated fully the ;ndorse-
ment expressed by the invitation and
realized the importance Of the movement
in favor Of sound money. which he ap-
proved.
He would take the matter under con-
sideration and would communicate with
us by letter; If he could not consider the
invitation favorably it would be because
Of personal and official reasons which he
could not see his way to overcome"

President Cleveland and Invites Him to
Pay the Big Western Town q Call.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The secretary
Of state is very much concerned these
days by the Venezuelan problem The
British ultimatum delivered to Nicaragua
is not a source of present apprehension,
for it is not now believed that the British
will take any action in the way OF at
tempting to acquire any territory in that
direction or even to jeopardize the proper
ty Of Americans in Nicaragua by .
bombardment in their efforts to force a
collection of the indemnity demanded
from Nicaragua. These are the two moves
that might cause the United States to in
terfere. But in the case of the Venezuelan
boundary dispute there is mnch graver
cause for apprehension. 1t appears that
Ambassador Bayard has not succeeded in
inducing the British government to give
heed to the request submitted by Kim at
the direction of congress that the bound
ary dispute be submitted to arbitration.
John Bull Charged with Evasion.
The British are profuse in their declara-
tiOn of willingness to arbitrate the title
to the lands west OF the Schomberg line,
but in the view of the state department
this is pure evasion of the real issue, for
there never has been any reasonable as
sertion of British right to this territory,
and it is the territory lying east OF this
line that forms the substance Of the con.
tention- The present situation is believed
to be alarming, as armed bodies Of British
and Venezuelans are pressing each other
closely in the disputed territory and there
may be a hostile clash at any moment
In Which Case What?
The administration has been consider
ing carefully the course to DO pursued in
such n case, and it is entirely probable that
if the British persist in bringing about
such collision through a failure to heed
the repeated warnings and requests OF the
United States to submit the matter to
arbitration, then the United States will
feel obliged to follow the moral aid it has
given to Venezuela in this matter by
more substantial assistance.
