PROFITS FOR NINE OWNERS.
A Gain of Seven Dollars on Every In

"A Galu OF seven DOLLARS on Every In
vestment OF Eleven Dollars.
Washington Correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Ledger.
Ex-Congressman Buckalew, Of Penn
sylyania, who Is visiting Washington City,
expresses the opinion that there is one
point in connection with the currency
question that has not as yet received at
ton which viii be thoroughly ventilated
as the campaign progresses, and which
will have large influence with voters
This point" said Mr.. Buckalew. is the
enormous profit which will accrue to sill
yer miners in the event of the enactment
OF free coinage bill. 1 think when the
people come fully to understand this 1t
may cause them to ponder awhile before
giving adherence 10 the silver cause. the
difference between the coin and the bull
ion value of the metal will go into the
pockets OF bullion owners, and Is clear
donation On the part of the rest of the
people. The country has now absorbed
about all 1t can take, and the only posi-
bic way TO increase the volume OF silver
in use is to do away with paper money OF
small denominations"
The extent to which the bullion owners
would be benefited by the passage OF
free coinage law is easily computed. The
bullion value OF silver is at present about
20 cents per ounce. If free coinage should
be established II would be increased to Its
coin value. which is s. .2sls per ounce. The
difference between these figures would
represent the profit TO the bullion owner.
which now goes 10 the government, and
Is known as the ''seigniorage." The
capacity of the minis Is about $1,000. 900
per month, say s5a.ooo.ooo per year. At
the present price OF silver bullion the
annual profits TO the owners OF that metal
under free coinage would be about &c.
600 0oo
Taking an ounce OF silver and compar-
ing IL with an ounce OF gold for the pur-
poses OF coinage, we have these results:
One ounce OF gold of standard fineness,
that is, 900 parts OF pure gold 10 100 parts
OF alloy, will coin in gold dollars $3.50.
Sixteen ounces OF silver of standard fine
ness. that is, 900 parts OF pure silver 10
100 parts OF alloy. will coin $3.50 In stand
ard silver dollars OF the existing weight.
These is ounces OF silver can be pur-
chased today at the rate OF 40 cents per
ounce. which would be for the Is ounces
sr.20. on an investment of SIi-20. there
fore. there would be under free coinage
a profit to the investor of $40 That Is
70 say. any man could go into the market,
purchase 16oo ounces Of silver bullion,
which can be purchased today for Sl,l2o,
and from this there can be coined 1850
of full legal-tender quality. That guam
titv of silver bullion under free coinage
could be taken TO the mint and the holder
would realize a profit Of $40 on an in
vestnent OF sl,lSo

laps Not a Success.

The Japs were not so great a
success as was fondly hoped by
some of the San Juan sugar beet
growers, consequently a few Of the
growers are out greatly by their
employment. 1t seems that the
"little brown men, draw the line
Mt being expected TO sleep in the
fields: or, in other words, being
treated as the average tramp farm
laborer is treated III California.
They expect their employers to
furnish them with fairly comfor-
table quarters. These not being
forthcoming, delay on the part
of the laps at getting to work
ensue6, aud the result is that
many acres have been rendered
worthless by being choked up
with weeds. In one case it is
stated that but fifteen out of forty
five acres will be of any account
at all. On general principles, we
are opposed to the introduction
of this alien labor into our count
ry. All that money should be
kept at home and distributed
amongst us. We trust the lesson
taught by the unreliability of the
Japs will not be lost. Better to
pay little more, il necessary, to
our own people. Better work can
be obtained from them, as has al
ready been proven, and the en-
tire county shares in the profits
of the money paid out.-HollisteJ
