Tho Arena, a Populist magazine, pub
fishes series of pictures intended to
show tho great decrease III the pucchas-
ing power Of bale Of cotton, owing to
the alleged decentralization" Of silver.
Tho money value Of the first balo is given
as $4l6. 90 in 1865. The next III tho
same series is for 1870, when tho money
value had shrunk to $1,000 Other
pictures give the varying values down
to 1894, the conclusion from the whole
being that the lack Of free silver has
caused the full in the price Of cotton.
How false this argument is can be
seen by looking at the figures quoted
Between 1865 and 1870 the price Of cot
ton fell from SO. 38 cents per pound to
%. 90 cents BY 1873, tho year Of the
''cri,ne," the price had gone down to
10. so cents In other words, the money
value Of q bnle Of cotton shrank from
$416. 30 in 1866 to $94, difference
Of 1922. 90, while the country had free
coinage Of silver at 16 to 1. Since that
time tho fall in price has been much
less having been only from $94 in 1878
to $50 in 1896 ut the present quota.

or g. SO cents per pound, in eight years.
Under our present financial system the
price has only fallen $55 per bale, or II
cents per pound, in % years. In face Of
these official figures how can any intels
ligent man pretend that it was the
change in our currency laws in 1878
which has reduced the money value Of
cotton?
The advocates Of free silver may at
tempt to answer this exposure Of their
low price for cotton argument by show
ing that there was great increase in
the cotton crop between 1856 and 1878.
This is true, but there has also been
far greater quantity Of cotton produced
every year since 1878 than ever before,
the crop for 1899 reaching 9,035, $40
bales as compared with S,0S0,5O8 bales
in 1873. the largest crop during the
period from 1866 to 1878, SO that if in
creased production caused the great de-
cline in price in one case it is surely
fair to credit it, and not the stoppage Of
free silver coinage, with the lower prices
Of the past % years.

MADISON, WIS, Sept. 9.--At q con-
ference Of the state central committee
Of the Wisconsin gold Democrats, to be
held in Milwaukee some time this

other alternative. Considerable feeling
had prevailed in favor of supporting
the regular state Democratic nominees,
should the action of the convention be
sufficiently moderate on the silver
question to enable them to do SO, but
they now feel that they are practically
driven either to support to- Republican
candidates or nominate ali independent
ticket. General Bragg Of Fond du Lac
is expected to be at the head of the gold
ticket.

Coroner's Jury at Glencoe,
Minn., Renders a Not I'm
expected Verdict.
Declares the Men Met Death
at the Hands of Par
ties Unknown.
Not a Single Witness Examined
Could Throw Any Light
On the Affair.

GLENCOE, Mimi. Sept. 0.-After a
hearing covering nearly two days. the
coroner's jury, summoned to inquire
into the lynching Of Musgrove and
Cinqmars, came to the not unexpected
conclusion that the two men came to
their death by hanging at the hands OF
persons unknown. The verdict is q
purely conventional one and shows that
the investigation so far held is q total
failure. It is stated that the sentiment
of Glencoe is against the men who so
harshly took the law into their own
hands, but if this is the case it was not
apparent during the inquest. No one
could be found who could or would
give any definite account Of the lynch
ing or who knew anything concerning
the identity of one Of the lynching
party. The formal verdict returned at
8 o'clock by the jury was as follows:
Verdict of the Jury.
"An inquisition taken at Glencoe, in
Mcleod county, on the 9TH and 9Th
days of September, A.. D. 1896, before
R. S. Miles, coroner of said county,
upon view of the bodies of Dorman
Musgrove and Henry A. Cinqmars,
lying there dead. By the oaths of the
jurors whose names are hereuntO SUBJ
scribed, being sworn to inquire on be-
half of the state of Minnesota, when,
how, and by what means the said Dor
man Musgrove and Henry A. Cinq-
mars, respectively, came to their deaths,
upon their oaths do say that the said
Dorman Musgrove and Henry A. Cinq-
mars came to their death by the break
ing of their necks and strangulation
caused by their being hanged from a
bridge across Buffalo creek, in the viii
lage of Glencoe, by persons whose
names are to the coroner and jury un-
known. In testimony whereof the said
coroner and jurors Of the inquest have
hereto set their hands this day and

place the total vote at 165, 900, and give
Jones clear majority over all opposi-
ton combined of from 80, 600 to IS, 900.
The figures are coming in slow and
many enthusiastic Democrats claim
that when the back counties are all in

mating Sewall. It will be admitted on
