Farm Telephone Lines.

Now that many of the telephone
patents have expired and the instru-
ments in use are free to all, farmers
who have barbed wire fences may con.
vert them into telephone lines It does
not seem to be necessary TO insulate
the wires, those fastened to posts by
ordinary staples working perfectly.
When gates or bars intervene, a pole Is
erected at each side, and the wire run
up to the top Of one and then across

president CLEVELAND and

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND and
other members of the administra-
ton have received endorsements,
oral and written, from the South
and West, of Mr.. Cleveland's re-
cent financial letters. An idea Of
how some of these men talk may
be gained from the following
language used by Mr.. w. L. Craw-
ford, of Dallas, Texas, who is in
Washington now: $50 far as
Texas is concerned, Mr.. Cleveland
is exceedingly popular, by far the
most popular man in the party for
the Office he so ably fills. His ideas
on the financial question just suit
the sound money men of that
State" Mr.. Crawford is a prac
ticing lawyer, not politician, but
Texans in Washington say he is a
man who has opportunities, and
makes use of them, to keep in
touch with the sentiment in hi;
State.

To Demonetlze Gold.

A correspondent asks whethtr gold
would retain its present commercial
value il demonetized by the nations
that have demonetized silver. 1t is to
be observed,in reply, that neither silver
nor gold is used in trade between ma
tons at valuation fixed by law,
neither has been "monetiz d" interna.
tionally, but each, in international
trade, goes now, as in ancient times,
practically by weight, the government
stamp being disrt garded, The value
in international trade is fixed for each
metal by common consent. So far az
trade between nations is concerned
neither metal hos been "monetized' or
'demonetized." Gold having obtain.
ed its present valuation--its present
ratio in respect to silver-in the open
market of the world, chiefly in inter
national trade, it is unlikely that the
value of gold would be affected ma
terially by the effort OF any country t.
demouetize it within borders. 1t is
now in effect demonetized in countries
like Argentina and Mexico, where
"pa per money" and silver are used t.
the exclusion of gold, but even there
it is valued as highly as in countries
where it is used 1t is not law, il
fact, that makes tho value of gold, siI
yer or diamonds, but the general con
sent OF mankind. Hence the conclus
ion that to "monetize" silver and ode
monetize" gold by law in any countr,
would not materially affect the valu
of the latter in the worlds exchanges
1t would still be the best metal for us
in international transactions, ii
present valuation is but an explessio
of that fact. Nothing better couI
happen, it is believed to dissipai
monetary fallacies than for both goI
and silver to be demonetized.- Bali

A Soldiers Opinion.

Gen. Hasseltine, speaking as one OF
the war veterans in the columns of a
Republican contemporary, makes the
suggestion, which is doubtless in &C.
cordance with the facts in the Case,
that Col. Warnings attack upon the e.
A. r. was meant to apply only to is
unworthy members. Gen. Hasseltine
takes the ground that these exist to
an extent that calls for public rebuke,
He says that the fact that a man
"wole the blue" is not in itself sui
ficient to make him an object of ven
GRAFTON it is necessary, IN addition, "
know "the manner in which he wore
the blue" The general does not doubt
that many unworthy have been prompt
to seek pensions, or that they have in
too many cases obtained them. Some
thing may depend, too, upon how
those who wore the blue have con
Quoted themselves since they put the
blue off. If they have iudiscriminatell
assailed all those who have endeavoret
to protect our pension system from
abuse as mo friends of tae soldier
they have certainly not achieved al

A NUMBER of prominent Mis-

Graham, a prominent St Louis
business man says of the silver
agitation in the Democratic party:
81 think that is an excellent thing
that all this strife over silver has
come up so far in advance of the
presidential election. 1t will give
the people time to get clearer ideas
on the subject than many of them
now have, as result Of reading
such a plausible but fallacious and
shallow book as coins financial
school. They will, think, eventu.
ally ascertain that the price o.
wheat and cotton has NOT faller
through sympathy with the decline
in silver, but because of the enorm
Gus increase of production Of those

The Skies Are Frightening.


During the last week two OF the
largest iron and steel establishments
in the United States have voluntarily
advanced the wages of their employees
ten per cent. These are the various
Carnegie steel works, near Pittsburg,
and the Pencoyd Iron Works, of this
city. Each of these is the largest es-
tablishment OF the kind in its particu-
lar line, and the fact that wages have
been advanced without demand from
the workmen, and without any friction
whatever between employers and en-
ployed, is one of the most hopeful in
dications of the steady and substan.
tial growth OF industrial and business
prosperity.
During the last month we have no
ticed that over one hundred prominent
industrial establishments throughout
the country have advanced the wages
OF their employees, and many OF them
have done it voluntarily. In some in
stances there have been disputes which
have resulted in such increase, but the
brightest feature of our industrial i'm.
provement is in the fact that fully
one half or more of these leading es-
adjustments have advanced the wages
of labor without demand having been
made upon them for it.
The skies are frightening all around
us. The financial and industrial de-
preston OF the last two years seems to
have reached the bottom and is on
the rebound. Confidence is steadily
growing in all commercial, industrial,
trade and financial circles, and if we
only had the question of honest mon
ey definitely settled, this country
would be on the eve of the most pros
porous era OF its history.
The one cloud that hangs over us
like pail is the craze for cheap mon
ey that would demoralize business, de.
stroy credit, reduce the earnings of
workingmen, and produce universal
paralysis and disaster throughout the
land. The fact that the growth Of
this fearful and fanatical sentiment
has been largely due to the general
prostration Of business, is doubtless
the truth, and there is every reason to
hope that the Frightening skies, which
row spread hope aud confidence in
Il industrial channels, may speedily
'Alt the effort to com nit national sui
de by sinking to the standard of dis.
honest money.
Let all, of every political faith, unite
to strengthen the hands of those who
are struggling to maintain public and
private credit and law and order. The
only issues now before the people are
those OF honest money and the pro
lection of person and property. These
are the great issues to be determined
in 1896, and whate yer party shall mos
distinctly present them will command
