How FREQ Coinage Would Help the Awra-
cultural Ciassea


How FREQ Coinage Would Help the Awra-
cultural Glasses.
Free coinage would at once double
the amount of primary or redemption
money, for under free coinage silver
would be redemption money with
gold. Gold is to-day the only primary
cause silver, as commodity, to rise,
and gold. as a commodity, to fall. until
they reached level, where they would
remain. All prices being to-day meas
ured in gold. would rise as fast as gold
fell, the agriculturist would receive the
profit in higher prices for his products.
having received more money for hiz
produce, he would be in position to
spend more, buying the things he
needed. This creates demand, which
starts production. More men are
needed in the factories to supply this
demand. They receive steady work,
and as employers bid against one an
other for men, wages rise. When men
bid against one another for work,
wages fall. Steady work. even at an
advance in wages, will allow working
men to pay the higher prices that they
would have to pay for the things they
need. Fixed charges (such as interest,
railroad fares, salaries of public of
ticers, etc., would not advance, being
already fixed by law. 1t is simple
proposition that if all the factories are
running full time and selling their
product at higher process, that their
employers are better off. 1t is not be-
cause people do not want manufactured
goods that our factories are running on
less than full time and with decreased
force, but that the people have not
the means to buy. Sixty-five per cent.
of the population of Elmira and that
tributary to Elmira are engaged di>
rectly and indirectly in agricultural
pursuits. If we can bring prosperity to
that class the rest will share it. Free
coinage aims at that result in this way.
Tt will arbitrarily fix the price of sill
yer bullion at $1.29 per ounce, and this
country (the greatest and naturally the
wealthiest on earth) is powerful enough
to fix that price for the world, for no one
in foreign land will take less for silver
than he can get for it here. This will
prevent England from driving down the
price of our agricultural products, for
she can no longer buy silver bullion at
low price (from 40 to es cents per
OUNCE coin it and spend it in India at
its face value of $1.29 per ounce. Every
ounce she buys anywhere will cost her
S1.29, and that is all she can spend it
for. So she can no longer land India
wheat and cotton in Liverpool at a low
price, but it will cost her full value.
Wheat will rise here, cotton will rise,
other agricultural products following,
the only measure of price being the UNI
interfered with law of supply and de,
mand. Thus in giving prosperity to the
agricultural classes we give it to our
selves who make our living directly or
indirectly from them.-Cor. Elmira

life of the Arab BedouIns OF the
Plains.
Only on the plains are the Arabs to
be found, but here their tents are scat
tered in every direction. From the At
lantic to the Atlas, from Targier to Mo
gador, and then away through the fer
tile province of Soos, one of the chief
features of Morocco is the series of wide
aIluvial treeIess plains, often apparently
as fiat as a table, but here and there cut
up by winding rivers and crossed by
low ridges. The fertility of these dis.
tricts is remarkable, but owing to the
disagreement of the country, which
renders native property so insecure,
only a small portion is cultivated. 1t is
on the untitled slopes which border
these plains that the Arab encamp-
ments are to be found-circles or ovals
of low, goat-hair tents, each covering
a large area in proportion to it's height.
AS the traveller approaches them he IS
greeted by a chorus of barking, which
soon brings out some swarthy form

here ends the chapter of their occupa-
tons. In the evening they stuff them
selves to repletion, if they can afford 1t,
with a wholesome dish of prepared bar
ley or wheat meal, seldom accompanied
with meat; then, after a gossip round
the cracking fire, or, on state occasions,
three cups of sirupy green tea apiece,
they roll themselves up in their long
blankets and sleep on the ground. The
first blush of dawn sees them stirring,
and soon all is life and excitement. The
men all go off to their various labors, as
do many of the stronger women, while
the remainder attend to their scanty
household duties, later on basking in the
sun. But the moment the stranger ar
rives the scene changes, ard the inces-

free for an entrance is closed in the

feet high, are formed of bundles of
thistles stood on end, or of any brush

leaves of the palmetto serve for plush,

AFTER A LONG SEPARATION
Strange Meeting Between Husband
and Wi O.

Strange Meeting Between a Husband
and VIE
Fowler, Ind, May 11.-Judge Mar.
bro, of Kentucky, was standing on the
platform of the Big Four station at this
place last evening when the Chicago
limited pulled in. In the parlor Car
sat lady whom he thought he knew.
He approached her and they recognized
one another Immediately. 1t was his
wife whom he married twenty years
ago in England. She was the daughter
of Lord Llndsley. Her father was so
opposed to the marriage that he in
duced her to leave her husabnd about
six months after they were married.
She relented and decided to return to
her husabnd, but was made to believe
that Marbro was dead.
Marbro, incensed at his wife's ac.
tion, came to America and was shortly
afterward informed that she had Sc
cured divorce from him. In few
months after their separation son was
bern to Mrs Msrbro. He is now in the
English navy. On the death of Lord
Lindsley Mrs. Marbro fell heir to 49,.
600, 900 in estates and money. She has
since married, and has three children
by the second union. She was en- route
through here to visit her sister in San
Francisco. Judge Marbro is very
wealthy and he also is married. He
accompanied his wife of former years
to Chicago. What action he will take
regarding his right in the estate in
Englan is not known.

New Jersey National Guardsmen Offer
Their Services.
New York, May H. The World
this morning says:
1t was reported in Newark last night
that several members of the First regi.
ment of the National Guard, located
there, had accepted generous offers to
fight for Cuban independence, and had
left under orders of the Cuban junta.
The number of guardsmen who are
going is not definitely known. 1t was
learned, however, that at least dozen
have already signed an agreement with
the representatives of the junta and a
much larger number are seriously con.
sidering the matter, with the prospect
that they will join the expedition.
On Tuesday night the first detach-
ment left Newark in charge of Sergeant
William l.. Edwards and Private Louis
Haggerty, and was composed entirely
of members of the First regiment.
They were escorted to rendezvous in
this city, where they are said to be
now stationed.
1t was given out that the expedition
in which the Newarkers are to take
part was to embark at Perth Amboy.
This report was intended to throw the
emissaries of the Spanish government
off the scent 1t is said that the men
who make up the party will board a
vessel at sea, after being conveyed
from various points in tugs and sailing
vessels.
One volunteer is said to have been
offered bonus of $700, together with
his fare to Jacksonville and a monthly
compensation of $50. Another state.
ment is that the men are to receive
bonus of 500 and $22 a month.

GROUND TO PULP,
Terrible Electric Car Accident at Los
Angeles.

Terrible Electric Car Accident at Los
Angeles.
Los Angeles, May 1.-THE most
horrible accident that ever occurred in
this city happened tonight when Sebas
Escarciga, a Mexican, was crushed to a
pulp by Pasadena electric car at the
corner of Ord and Buena Vista Streets
Shortly before the accident, Escarciga
was quarreling on the street with a
Mexican named Jose Morales. The
men finally came to blows, and both
drew knives. Morales started to run
across the street, followed closely by
Escarciga, both men failing to notice
the electric car, which was rapidly ap.
preaching.
Morales was several feet ahead of his
pursuer, and managed to clear the
track, but Escsrciga was directly in the
middle of the track when the heavy
car struck him, and the unfortunate
man was under the wheels before any
one knew what had happened. His
body was literally ground to pieces
and scattered along the track for dis
tanoe of twenty feet. Morales was ar
rested, and will be held pending an in-
vestigation of the quarrel, which ter
minated SO disastrously. Escarciga
was laborer, 40 years Of age, and
leaves a widow.

fore the Petrol sailed for this port,
where she is now at anchor. The row
was caused by the big British cruiser

interpreted as an insult. Captain
Emory wrote curt note to the COM
mander of the Spartan and i'll return
received letter of apology.
The next day eight or ten of the
Pertel's men were seated in an upper
room of saloon when about twenty
of the Spartan's men entered the bar
ROOM The Yankees were drinking and
singing patriotic songs and the biggest
Englishman in the intruding crew sug-
gested that they throw the Yankees
through the windows. The British
tars started up the stairs, but none of
them reached the top. The door was
suddenly opened and through it came a
shower of glasses, bottles and cases of
champagne, which had been stored in
the room. When everything available
as a weapon was gone, the American
sailors came flying down the stairs and
the battle became hand-to-hand con-
tiict. Knives were used freely and the
English forces were badly cut up.
When they were finally routed, half a
dozen of them lay bleeding on the floor.
The British consul subsequently held
an official inquiry into the affair and
the court decided against the Spartan 4
crew.
