A Tacoma Scandal,

Tacoma has another sensation in
the marital experience of the Veasie
family who have lived in that city for
several years past and borne an ex-
cellent reputation in business circles.
Veasie senior has had extensive deal
ings in lumber, having at times ope-
rated large logging camps, and is con-
sidered quite wealthy. 1t now turns
out that the woman he has been living
with the past nine years, and by
whom he has had several children, is
not his wife, and the fact became
known through the most sensational
circumstance, q few days ago, the
marriage of the woman to Harry
Neasie, his son. 1t seems that the old
gentleman returned from a protracted
business trip TO find that his young
hopeful-23 years of age-had during
his absence married the partner of his
Joys ana Sharer OF MS woes and set up
an establishment of his own, and he
in vindication makes public the fact
that the woman hitherto regarded as
his fathers wife had been in reality
only his mistress. The woman claims
that a mock marriage had taken place
in Wisconsin, but it was not till a
couple of years ago that she had as
certained that it had not been legal
ceremony. The "old man" seems to
have accepted the inevitable and is
now ready to extend the "Bless you,
my children" whenever the hayward
transgressors sue for peace.

THE PRESUMPTION OF THE GOLD
BUGs.-The overbearing impudence Of
the gold bugs in always calling the
gold unit the "sound money" doc
trine, is only equaled by that AFRO
gance which impelled one of the Re-
publican Presidents of the United
States to affirm that "cheap clothes
make a cheap man." Why is not a
metal which had been used for re-
demptiOn money ever since the gov
eminent was founded, and was abso-
luteiy better than any other currency
up to its characterization, entitled to
the same need of praise as gold, which
without the statutory backing would
fiuctuate in value quite as much as
any other commodity? Why must
silver by implication, be characterized
as unsound, when it has been deprived
of the support accorded the yellow
metal and after its soundness has
been tested by nearly century's
use as a primary currencyH Is gold
sound" when it represents a
value measured by realty that is
twice as great as it was when the debt
that shadows the farm was contracted?
Is it sound" or honest, when it has
afforded q means Of deluding the bor-
rover into assuming an obligation
twice as great as he contemplated it
would be? "Sound money" indeed |!
1t requires the assurance of Satan
when he took the Saviour up on the
mount, to claim anything that is
sound" or fair, in the scheme OF
Wall street to double up their wealth
by direct robbery OF the people.

Sunbeams.

Al indicating revival OF business,
the Bulletin of American Iron and
Steel Associations, gives the product
of pig iron during the first hall OF the
present year, at 4,0S7,55S tons as
against 2,71S.9S3 for the same period
of 1894. 1t estimates the total out
put this year at 100000 tons, which
bears favorable comparison with the
maximum product Of 9,202 ,703 tons in
that exceptionally prosperous year
1890. The total output of 1894 was
6,657 1888 tons.
Probably no product affords more
infallible index of the business of the
country than iron. H. enters into so
many industries as the basic factor
that its use serves as pulse for accuate-
ly determining the heart beats through
all the currents Of business activity.
The railroads, the farms, the building
industries, the mines, and almost
every branch of active industry draws
upon this resource for primary sup
port.
The Bulletin bases its prediction
of the large aggregate of this year
upon something more than the bright
beginning of the first six months. 1t
sees in present conditions the pros
pect of an overwhelming demand for
means of transportation to handle the
business of the fall shipments. All
the arteries of trade are preparing for
phenomenally active season, and in
anticipation OF this the demand has
already begun for the movement of
such staples as are likely to be IN de-
mand when the means of transporta-
ton will be taxed to the limit.
Notwithstanding the destruction of
a portion Of the cereal crop in some OF
the Western" States by flood and
cyclone, the Pioneer Press, OF st. Paul
predicts that the harvest will be the
largest known since 1891. 1t says
that the total acreage under cultiva-
ton is much greater than it has ever
been before, though much less of the
land has been sown to wheat than in
former years, the farmers having at
last awakened to the fact that diver
sified farming is far preferable TO the
old method of planting their entire
farms to wheat, and being obliged to
stand or fall by the prices of this one
cereal. Only about As per cent. Of
the total acreage of Minnesota this
year is in wheat, as against IS per
cent. ten years ago. The acreage de-
voted to rye, barley and flax has in
creased in a wonderful degree, and
there is much greater area devoted
to the more staple products such as
corn, oats and potatoes.
The same authority estimates the
value of the wheat crop OF the present
year at $35, 100000. and of North and
South Dakota at $50, 900, 900, which is
an increase OF about 40 per cent. over
the product of 1892, and a showing is
made for a proportional increase in
the value OF other staple crops.
The lose to the Dakota grain crops
from flooding rains will not be as large
as was at first supposed, and will be

cided advantage to potatoes, fax and

Here's q New Plan.


DETROIT, April 29.--The Tribune (ro-
publican) came out yesterday with new
Solution" Of the present money quss-
tiOns by the creation Of q new dollar, 10
DO composed Of propOrtlonats parts Of
gold and silver The article quotes the
declarations Of the republican national
platforms Of 1883 and 1892 in favor Of
bl.mstalliam, and points out the dangers
Of q practical silver recommendation
through the throwing open Of tho nints
10 unlimited coinage. II calls attention
to the difficulties and delays which
would attend the negotiation Of an In
transitional compact, and questions the
SuOC0ssful maintenance Of @ parity OF
gold and silver by that means in any
event. IL calls upon the party to fulRlI
its platform pledges by formulating,
without delay, practical scheme for bi-
metallism, especially in view Of the
threatened disintegrRtion Of parties and
drawing the new party lines, with gold
mono metSllism on one side and silver
mono-m metalliBm on the other.
Continuing the Tribune advocates the
composite dollar 90 q measure easiest to
effect, and with the least disturbance to
business Of any plan suggested. II pro-
poses: "ThRt ell existing coinage laws be
repealed and there bo enacted q law
creating a new American dollar, which
would bO the sole standard coin Of tho
nation, the dollar 10 be composed Of 206H
grains Of standard silver and IL 9.101
grains Of standard gold fused together
and struck into o handsome coin about

1.-THE coin would be absolute stable
value for, in case Of disparity at any
time In the commercial values Of gold
and silver, what was lost by one metal
would bs made up by tho exactly CORE
spending appreciation Of the other"
As to the question whether the pro-
posed dollar would be available for ex-
port, the Tribune replies: ut would
not be necessary to export the coin
while unCoIned gold could be procured,
which could be just Rs available. IL, Ak
any time, it became necessary to sepaP-
ate the gold from the silver, it could be
done at the United States mint ct cost
Of less than / per cent. This very cost
would be q protection against the ex.
portati0n Of the coin while uncoined
