"A treat was given those who attend

The views were beautiful and the enter

lightful. The audience, as is frequently
the case with entertainments however
good, in Academy Hall, was not very
large, but those who attended were fully
repaid for their trouble. In the afternoon
similar entertainment was given for the
children, who attended in force.

OLIVE CULTURE IN NORTH
LAREDO.
Laredo News.

s,dftC0 news.
About five thousand young
olive trees are growing in North
Laredo. Does the reader real
ize what this means? It means
within five years olives as well
as grapes and other fruit viii
be shipped from Laredo and a
stream Of dollars viii begin to
flow hitherward.
The olive is a peculiarly
hardy and long lived Tree, unaf
fected by temperature APP
preaching zero and yet able to
withstand the fieYcest heat. It
thrives at the sea level as well
as at an altitude of 5000 feet
above. 1t begins to bear in its
fifth year and continues in
bearing during the whole course
of its life, sometimes for over a
thousand years. Diversity Of
soil appears to have no effect
upon the growth of the tree or
the production of fruit, it doing
equally well with or without
irrigation. Now, as the yield
of olive oil averages ten quarts
per tree per year, and as the
price Of pure olive oil is one
dollar per quart, the product of
che five thousand trees will
average $4,000 per year for
the oil. As the average yield
of fruit is twenty-three gallons
per tree per year, and as pick
led olives sell for seventy-five
cents per gallon. the revenue
from the fruit would be $50. 250
dollars per year. As the only
requisites to successful olive
culture are good drainage and
care in setting out the young
trees, there seems to be no
reason why the North Laredo
experiment should not be a
success.

MINISTER ROMERO, one Of the
most distinguished and best
posted of Mexico's citizens,
says that the fail in the price
of silver has caused foreign
commodities to become so
high priced that it pays to
manufacture them at home. It
is<on just this line that The
HERALD has objected to free
silver in the United States
Wien the price of foreign'com
modities rises, home manufact
ured goods rise in proportion,
thus benefitting the manufact-
using class, while the consum-
ers, in other words the people,
have to pay more for what they
buy. If the United. States can
maintain unlimited millions Of
silver dollars, at 4 ratio of Is
to.1, ona a par with gold, such
condition as that described by
Mr. Romero will not result.
But few, however, pretend to
think this possible. As it is
claimed by the silver advocates
that the combined action Of
such rich and powerful govern
ments as France and Germany
besides a dozen other European
governments, with the United
States, caused silver to fall in
price, hence they cannot have
the face to. assert that the
United States alone can restore
the white metal to its former
value. Therefore, even the
silver advocate must admit
chat free silver will have the
effect raising tie price of
foreign eommodities in this
country

No CAUSE FOR ALARM.

According to the latest news from
the seat of the late alleged Indian
troubles, the reports which have been
SO extensively circulated and on which
the greatest alarms have been raised
have been without much substantial
foundation. The massacre at Jack
sons Hole was simply a story spread
by excited or designing persons for
the purposes which have heretofore
been set forth in The Herald.
There is a desire on the part of peo-
pie settling in some new localities to
provoke hostilities with the view of
having the Indians in their immediate
vicinity completely exterminated.
That accomplished, the field would be
clear for white assaults upon the big
game in those regions, and they would
feel perfectly secure against any in
roads made by the redskins either
upon the game which they desire for
themselves or upon their homes and
settlements. The other motive for
spreading these alarms is to procure
the transportation of government
troops to the spot so that supplies
might be furnished at a good profit to
the soldiers, to be paid for out of
Uncle Sans strong box
1t appears that after all, one white
person has been molested by the In
dians while some of the Indians have
been killed by the whites. People who
for personal ends spread such alarms
as have frightened the relatives and
friends of the people settled in the
neighborhood of Jackson's Hole ought
to be severely punished for their Of
Tense. We hope that the provocation
which has been received by the Indi-
ans will not have the effect of induc-
ing them TO retahate, and that we
shall soon hear the pleasing news that
the Indian scare is over and the
trouble entirely subsidized.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-07-31
EFFECT OF FREE COINAGE.

If Governor Stone will consult the
records of all governments he will see
that where gold is the standard of
values silver is used extensively as a
medium of exchange, but where sill
yer is the standard of values gold is
excluded from circulation. Therefore,
unless the experience of all other
countries is to be reversed, the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of IS to
l would eliminate half the metallic
currency from circulation and reduce
the existing medium of exchange to
half its present volume. The specu-
1ators in Asiatic and South American
silver bullion would be benefited, but
the business interests of the country
destroyed.
That is the view taken by the
Kansas City Times. The first sentence
is but an epitomizing of Secretary
Carlisle's five propositions. If it
proves anything. it proves that BIZ
metallism is better than monometal-
ism.
Take the next sentence or PROPOSE
ton, that the free coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1 would eliminate
half the metallic currency from cir
culation and reduce the existing
medium of exchange to half its pres
ent volume" This is stated on the
assumption that the gold money
would be boarded or be driven out by
the silver money. But what becomes
of that favorite assertion of the gold
bugs that those having gold would
take it. buy silver. have it coined
pay off their debts and still have,
'nominally,' as they put it, as much
money left as in the first instance?
If such a condition of affairs were to
follow the free coinage of silver,
there could be no depreciation of the
currency because its reduction one
half in amount would maintain its
value. 1t certainly would not be
fat money. a charge frequently made
against free coinage.
1t is said that spectators in

THE WOMAN Of TODAY.

y great deal of foolish talk is in
dulged in, particularly through the
public prints. about the new woman"
| Ihere is no reason why a woman who
is independent who earns her own liv-
ing, either by ordinary labor or
through some profession for which she
has qualified herself. should be any the
less womanly than if she were entirely
dependent upon some. man for her sup
port.
For several years the restrictions
which once held back the fair sex
from entering those fields OF activity
which We're monopolized by men. have
been gradually loosened or entirely cut
away Women have gone into bust
ness. They have entered colleges and
studied side by side with the other sex
to qualify themselves for professional
life. They have broken loose from the
conventionalities which surrounded
them, and now enjoy liberties which
were once considered altogether I'M
suited to their sex. We do not believe
that this has done anything in the way
of 'unseXing" them as was predicted
would be the effect of their taking
such steps.
AS to politics, while very few wo-
men who have masculine manners and
would have them just the same in
other spheres. have taken a prominent
part in pushing the claims for wo-
mans rights upon the public, there has
been no general change among the fair
sex wherever political liberties have
been extended to them. There is no
reason why it should affect them I'M
favorably to extend to them the right
of suffrage, which is considered the
highest privilege of citizenship There
is nothing essentially masculine in the
casting of a ballot nor is there in the
choice of persons to hold public Office.
Women are citizens under the law,
exactly the same as men are Why
should they not enjoy equally with
men all the rights and privileges of
citizenship? The Denver News recent
ly drew attention to the fact that in
Colorado those politicians who were
formerly the most vehemently opposed
to woman suffrage are now saying the
most in favor of it, while it's most ar
dent advocates now say but little
about it. This, it declared, was because
generally speaking the people of ad-
vanced thought We're those who were
in its favor. The others, it appears.
are growing UP to the right standard.
Opposition to Full liberty to women
IN politics as we'll as in all the walks
of life proceeds very largely from pref
udice and the effects of tradition and
long standing customs. We are living
on the verge of the twentieth century.
The world has advanced; we ought to
advance with the times. The liberties
that women have achieved have not
changed them for the worse. 1t has
not robbed them of their tenderness,
their affection. their high regard for
all that is noble and beautiful and
sweet. We do not believe that as they
advance to that full and perfect Hber-
~ which is the right of all mankind
they will be any the less the fair sex,
the helpmeet the companion and the
peer of man.
