The eagle. (Silver City, N.M.) 1894-1???, 1895-07-24

silver dollar was the unit of value in the
coinage system of this country from
1872 to 1873, just as the yardstick was
the measure OF length. That gold was
measured by this silver unit, and con.
current coinage given to it (gold). That
silver and gold combined constituted the
legal standard OF value in this country
until 1873. That silver measured gold
and the two together measured all other
property.
"2.-That the act of 1873 was surrep-
ttiously passed.
"3.-That during the period from 1892
to 1873 the mints were open to the un-
limited coinage OF both metals into pri-
mary or redemption money, and both
were treated as such. That during that
period the people had the right to have
either metal coined into legal tender
money, and that the option was with
the debtor to pay in the coins of either
metal.
"4.-That this bimetallc system made
an unlimited demand for both metals to
be coined into money, increased the de-
mand for these metals, and so long as
this law stood authorizing any one to
coin 37lA grains of silver or 90 2-l0
grains of gold into Il dollar, there was no
one willing to sell either for less than a
dollar.
"5.-That the option to pay in either
metal caused the cheaper of the two
metals to he used, and the transferred
demand from the 'dearer to the cheaper
metal restored its relative commercial
value. We are for both silver and gold.
We are called silver men because we are
defending the metal that has been de-
monetized.
"6.-That it is to the interest of the
United States to act independently in
the reconciliation of silver at the ratio
to gold OF l6 to |, without waiting for
the action of any other nation.
"7.-That monometallism consists in
the use OF the dearer OF the two metals
to the exclusion OF the other as primary
or redemption money. That monomet-
allsm is an experiment on trial for the
first time in the history OF the world,
and the experiment began with the act
OF 1873. That it is impracticable and
impossible as stable money measur-
ment of values; is not based on scientific
financial principles; is in the interest OF
the money lenders and against the in
terest of property owners .and laborers.

Of all tho bulletins ever issued from
experiment stations the one on silos by
Professor King of the Wisconsin univer-
sity station perhaps caused greatest in
terest. He advised wood silos round in
shape. This style now prevails in many
sections notably in the west. One Of
Professor Kings followers thus writes
to Prairie Farmer concerning his silo,
which he thinks the best ever invented ::
1t is built Of wood and round. The
studding need be only 2 by A., the inside
lining being two thiclnesses of half inch
boards 6 inches wide, with tar paper be-
tween. The boards are bent around so
that each board is hoop, and it can be
made any height desired and with no
danger of springing out. This is very
important, because the deeper the silo
the better the ensilage will keep, other
things being equal. The outside cover
ing can be made, in the same way, the
last put on being ship lap. Doors can be
ont through at intervals of or 4 feet.
The advantages of round silo are: 1t
takes less lumber, has no corners for the
ensilage to spoil in, as it is. apt to do in
a rectangular one, is stronger and will
keen it's shape and can be made very

and made in the center of round barns.

curious plays in this set. Gibbs attempted

CUT SAILS TO PIECES.
Defender Will Have to Have a Complete
New Set.

New York, June "A relative of one
of the Herreshoffs is given as authority
for story that has been floating around
in yachting circles today. The story is
that a person, whose identity is still a
mystery, despite earnest investigation,
had managed to sneak into the great
loft above the shop in Bristol where the
Defender lies, and that the intruder had
cut and torn the big sail which had been
made for the sloop The work according
to the man who told the story, was done
most thoroughly and in way that
showed conclusively that it had been
done by somebody who knew just how
and where to cut in order to ruin the
sails utterly, beyond the chance of repair.
Great holes were cut into the mainsail
jibs and spinnaker, and the topsails and
other smaller sails were slashed in all
directions. The result was that the
entire set was made useless, and new
sails had to be ordered at once

BULLDOZED THE TURK.
Admiral Kirkland Enforces the Rights of

The admiral (Kirkland) is big, bluff

have been quite ugly up there of late.

rout, too. The people here had fears of a
massacre by the Moslems, and thought
that the arrival of the frigate prevented

The tournament opened with Pettigrew,
of Bates and Gibbs, of Maine State college
in singles. Pettigrew had a decided ad-
vantage in height and length of limb,
but was wild at first and Gibbs scored
two games in succession. Then Petit

The third contest in singles was be-

from the limited means at its command,

need IS an urgent one. The seminary is
administered with an economy as regards
salaries not at all fashionable in institrl-

wealth; and after such economy the
trustees have found themselves privileged
to make up of their own means, an
annual financial deficiency. We have had
some financial encouragement during the
year past, yet the financial problem of the
seminary is not solved. The institution

SOME VERY WEAK REMARKS
About Bangor's Position in Regard to TIL,
Securing of Tie-WelI, the Bangor ani
Boston Pauers Got Corners Second. T

In regard to the statement by the Port
land papers that Godfrey got first place,
Wakefield second and Corners third, and
that scorer Davis changed it afterward
to Corners second and Wakefield third,
thereby giving Bangor tie with Port
land, the Bangor News has only this to
say:
''About the hammer score-well, the
Bangor and Boston papers got Corners
second, Wakefield third, and everybody
else seemed to. understand it that way.
But the Portland people must make some
excuse for not winning-they felt so sure
of beating Bangor that the disappoint-
ment must have been crushing. Try clam
juice and perfect quiet, and wait for an
official decision. "
Of course the Boston papers had it the
way Bangor wanted it, for Bangor men
sent the accounts to Boston. AS for
everybody else seeming to understand it
that way, that statement is not true.
Portland did not understand it that way
neither did Thornton neither did the
officials. Portland is quite ready to wait
for an official decision. That very state
ment by the News, as follows "Well, the
Bangor and Boston papers got Corners
second is a dead give away and shows,
on the face of it that the man who made
that statement knows there is nothing
better to say in regard to the changing Of
the second after it had been announced
in the hearing of everybody when the
records were made. A man who feels
that he must support, in his paper the
position of Bangor in this matter, must
have occasion to feel very cheap within
himself, when he offers such statements
as the above to the consideration of an
intelligent public.
