PICKED UP IN THE STREET.

.
 A Blacksmith Finds His Tool to Be a
 Nugget of Pure Gold.
 Curious things sometimes happen in tfe gold bearing regions of the north west. The Blackfoot Qdaho) News tells of somewhat remarkable experience which occurred to blacksmith at that town lately.
 The smith, whose name is Farmer, had in his shop grindstone which he wished to ''taper off" For this purpose small stone was requisite. So he went out of doors and made search for stone of the right size and shape.
 He found one somewhat smaller than a hens egg, and returning to his shop began to smooth down the edge of the grindstone with it. He had not 'smoothed" long before he thought that the stone worked rather queerly, and was, in fact, too soft to grind the stone He took it to his anvil and broke it in half, and then he found that he had picked up nugget of pure gold.
 Unfortunately, it was a rather small nugget. He sold it for $5.S2 cents, and though this was a very good price for a pebble picked up in the street, it was not wealth.

little foX-terrier followed one of the men, Herr Visa, Hungarian officer, going with him to camp. He could not be driven away.
 The men all made pet of him, and named him "the corporal;" but though he was atfable to them all, he made the Hungarian soldier his companion and friend, sleeping at his feet at night, and following him by day.
 When the guard made their memor- able charge at Springfield, Mo-, the Corporal charged with them, keeping beside his masters horse throughout the battle. Herr Visa was wounded and fell, apparently dead, in a thicket. The corps swept past, his horse fled, wild with terror, but the little Corporal nestled close beside him, licking his face and trying to rouse him.
 There the dog remained through the bitter cold night. When morning came he ran to the distant road, and by his frantic barks and cries induced pass er-by to enter the thicket.
 The man, seeing only cold, stiff body, supposed the soldier to be dead, and would have hurried on; but the Corporal furiously drove him back, and would not be silenced until he saw his master move and speak, when he crouched, dumb and contented, at his feet.

Dun & Co.'S monthly financial report
is as cold as an Arctic iceberg 1t
knows no politics, no sentiment, no
pulse except that of unsympdhetic
fact. In July, 1892, that commercial
report said: "a fiscal year never
matched in the history of the country
in volume Of industrial production, in
magnitude of domestic exchanges or in
foreign trade, has just closed" 1t adds
in figures that business failures were
less than in the preceding year by so
Fer cent. and liabilities declined 30 per
cent. How is it now under the "re-
form" tariff that Mr.. Bryan as a mem
ber of the Ways and Means Committee
OF the House helped to construct? Dun
& Co.'S circular report four years after
that, from which we have quoted above.
speaks only of failures, depressed trade,
stagnated industries, decreased COM
merce, enormous increase Of liabilities
and impending ruin. But Mr.. Bryan
says that it is all due to the demone-
tization of silver. Indeed? Then why
did 1t not have that effect in all the
other years up to the time of the doc
toring Of the tariff by Mr.. Bryan's
committee on the incoming Of the Dem
Ocratlc party to power?

HOW IT MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED.

1t has been demonstrated that the
Bismarck letter to Mr.. Culberson of
Texas was garbled, contorted and
twisted in the interest of Bryanism. 1t
is not charged that Mr. Culberson was
guilty of this, nor yet Mr.. Bryan. 1t
was the work of underlingS to whom
was given the task of translating the
letter. They SO phrased the transia-
ton that it became practically a for
gerry, and they were undoubtedly di
1ected to do so by silver manipulators.
But even in that form there could not
De forced into it single expression
indicating that Bismarck favors free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to /.
correctly translated, as has been done
by a German expert of the Texas Uni
versity, 1t is made perfectly clear what
Bismarck means, namely, that the. vol
ume Of silver currency may be wisely
enlarged, and that he would deem it
proper action to take substantial steps
| towards accomplishing bimetallism-
just what the Republican party pro-
poses.
Under the Bismarck letter the plan
outlined in these columns frequently
would be a Substantial or an "inde-
pendent" step in the direction Of true
blmetallism, namely: Coin all the silver
In the treasury belonging to the Gov
ernment. This would at once raise the
volume Of our silver currency to an
aggregate between $7O0, 100000 and
SSOO.OOO,OOO. and force silver into cir
culation by making all silver coinage,
OF all denominations, legal tender to
the extent of $50. Along with this it
would be necessary to limit the issue of
gold, or any paper based on gold, to the
denomination Of the double eagle, $40,
and for the convenience of trade hand
ling, to issue a silver note Of $40.
Under this plan we would have silver
in plenty for all domestic purposes, and
gold in plenty for all foreign and COM
mercfal purposes. The one would not
be deprecated nor the other run out.
while a "substantial step would be
taken towards international agreement,
upon which alone true bimetallism can
be established.
The record-union., 1896-10-09

coinage silver and gold will remain at
a parity. If so, says Secretary Stahl.
then by no means will it make 1t any
easier for the farmer to pay his debts.
His land will produce no more than be-
fore; the value of what he produces will
in nowise be increased, and If the silver
dollar is as good as the gold dollar it
will not increase the price Of his pro-
ducts.
Really the load of the farmer will be
heavier, argues the Secretary, his debt
will be more, and the conditions of far
merS out of debt will become harder.
For it is to be kept in view that the
lessened demand due to the dislocation
of other industries will operate to lower
the prices of farm products.
But suppose that the Bryan advocates
are mistaken and that silver and gold
will not remain at a parity, then the
debtor-farmer can pay his debt in de-
preciated currency, and it will be easier
to pay it if other influences are not
active. But they will be active, the ten
dency to a rise Of prices will be counter
acted by the depression in all industries
and the lessened demand, and this de-
preston will continue for several years,
affecting the price of products while the
cheaper dollar can affect the debt but
once.
Mr.. Stahl thinks that to accede to the
demand Of the Chicago platform will
be as foolish as the act of one who de-
molishes one side Of his dwelling to make
drier, warmer and more luxurious the
dwelling Of some rich man and to stop
a broken pane in his own. The farmer
will not do that, he adds. The abuse
and ridicule of him by certain oppo-
nents of free coinage sorely tempt him,
but the Secretary believes that he will
resist the temptation. He believes that
the quiet, grave man who passes back
and forth in the burrows, will think it
out and rightly before the ides OF NO
vember and will vote for the greatest
good to the greatest number. For thefor-
mer believes, not in gold alone, or silver
alone, but wants the largest coinage Of
silver consistent with good faith and
good business, but he believes that
under earnest purpose and effort inter-
national agreement for the enlargement
may be effected as an aid to prosperity,
and not be a menace to business and en-
terprise.
