The American people, from trndi-

of values of the two metals, that
the purchasing and the debt-payfng
power OF the dollar, whether of sill

January 1884. were $26lo.259. Increased to
$4.5b. 702 for the same month this year,
while we exported z2.365.o05 yards In jan
uary last year. against so yards In
the first month this year. One reason for
the great shrinkage in exports OF cotton
goods Is shown IN the termination OF The
reciprocity treaty with Brazil, which de-
creased our shipments of cotton goods to
that country from 1,A15. 800 yards for jan
year.

Seyenty-five of the 1913 members of
the Wisconsin Legislature have been in
terviewed with reference to the free
coinage of silver by the United States
aIone-forty-five Republicans and thir-
ty Democrats. The Republicans were
divided thus.
For free coinage. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Against free coinage. q
For an international agreement. ............
For coinage of American product....-......
Noncommittal OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
1t is fair to assume that those against
free coinage would favor an interna-
tional agreement on a ratio for the coin
age Of both metals, SO that it may be
said that twenty-nine are opposed to
free silver by an act of Congress, while
nine are in favor, which means that
more than three to one of the Repub-
licans having opinions are opposed to
the silver mine owners scheme. The
Democrats announce their views as fol-
lows.
For free coinage.
Against free coinage. ........o
For an international agreement. ...-.....-...9
AS those against free coinage and for
an international agreement are seven
teen and those in favor are seven, it
appears that the Democrats in the Wis
consin Legislature are more than two
to one against the scheme to double the
value of the property of the owners of
silver mines.

ASHLEY FALLS,

We have been acquainted with the selectmen's side of the story in regard to the affair of trying to ship away a homeless girl. It seems that the select men of the town of Sheffield have been caring for Lizzie DotY at the home of David Gilson in Ashley Falls and that they had learned that she had a home in Bridgeport. Ct, where she would be re- ceived if sent there. Miss Doty had an aillng limb, so was placed in 8 chair and put into the baggage car of Con- ductor Tanners train. Gilson had bought ticket for the girl and the selectmen supposed that everything was all right. Conductor Tanner, in &C., cordance with the rules of the road, re- fused to take the invalid without an at tendant and she was taken off again be- fore the train started She Is now be- ing cared for at Mir Savoy's at the ex- pense of the state of Massachusetts. She will shortly be sent to Bridgeport with an attendant. Gilson is town charge and the selectmen have secured him state aid of $3 monthly. The selectmen have had more than their share of trouble with these people who are now making things unpleasant for them. A great deal more could be told about these new residents otherwise than mplimentary.
