The secretary of war in his annual report of 1896, says of old Chief Ge- ronimo and his band of Apaches:
 ''The Indians now in confinement number BIO, all members of the Apache tribe, who were captured in Arizona in the years 1SS7-SS. While in captivity there have been 117 births and 295 deaths.
 "They are now established at the military reservation at Fort Sill, Okla, and are living in comfortable dwell ings built by their own labor The eli mate in this region is arid and not well adapted to farming, but these In- dians last year raised upward of 5000 bushels of African corn, 4,000 tons of hay, 300 tons of corn fodder, 2,500 bushels of potatoes and 40,000 melons.

Democratic National Committeeman
Wall, OF Wisconsin. proved himself in
the great and successful campaigns of
1890 and 1892 one Of the best politicians
IN the union. TWAS under his manage
ment that Wisconsin was carried by the
democrats in both those years. Asked
in Washington the other day what he
thought of the democratic chances in
the approaching presidential campaign,
Mr.. Wall said: All depends on the
handling of the money question. If
the republicans fail at St. Louis to adopt
strong, sound plank, aud the demo-
Gratis have the good sense to grasp the
opportunity and adopt one Mt Chicago,
we shall win" This corresponds exact
" with what the World said on Monday
in its historic review showing that

cratic policy. and that the party has al
ways succeeded when true to this prin-
ciple, and has always been defeated

The facts of the political situation
briefly are:
First. That the democratic party
has been defeated in every presidential,
election since the war when it leaned
toward financial unsoundness and has
been successful in every contest in
which it stood for honest money.
Second. That it cannot carry sin
gle northern state or one-half the Dor
der states for free silver and conse-
quently would be beaten disastrously
in the election upon that issue.
Third. That it cannot hope to carry
the house of representatives upon that
issue. The majority against free coin

second congress to 125 in the present
house. There are no signs of gains fol.

Largely a Question OF FreIght.

The principal reason why the highly
civilized and commercial nations have
gradually abandoned silver and adopted
the gold standard is that value for value
silver is 20 times as heavy as gold. So
that if the cheaper metal were used to
settle balances in trading between two
countries or between distant points OF
the same country it would cost SO times
more TO transfer it than if payment was
made in gold. The foolish idea that
business men have conspired to dis
credit the white metal in order to in
crease the value Of gold is merely n
cheap money delusion. Merchants and
bankers are interested in having the
best possible material for use in meas
uring values and making exchanges,
aud the fact that in millions Of transac-
tons the handling OF money the greater
weight of silver meant larger cost OF
transporting it was Of itself sufficient
reason why gold should be preferred
Left to themselves. men always choose
the easiest-known method Of doing any
thing Since it is far easier to use u sub
stance having great value in small bulk
than one so or so times heavier, it is
only natural that, whenever it is pos
sin!e to secure sufficient gold, that
rectal should be used instead of silver
Wood is now generally used instead of
steel for bicycle rims because il is light
CT, Steelites who should claim that the
wood conspirators had demonetized
steel rims would be laughed at Yet
their arguments would be justas sound
as those Of the silverites.

The People who Buy ThInes.

There is one class Of people in the
United States which is specially inter
csted in the agitation for free silver,
with its openly avowed purpose of rails
ing prices twice as high as they are
now This is the consuming class, COM
posed of all the people who buy things.
To them the most important question in
regard TO the currency is: swim our
money buy few or many things? We
now have an Industrial and commercial
system in which wages are paid and
products bought and sold with eur
rcncy which rests on a gold standard
and has a high purchasing power. Ii
we were to adopt the silver standard,
our money would buy only half tine
quantity Of goods that it does now.
How would that help US. the 7o.o0o,0o
American consumers ~
Free-eoinage politicians who are try
ing to gain votes by setting one class Of
citizens against another would do well
to remember that the largest class ir
this country is that Of the people who
buy goods. When they can show those
people that it is to their interest to pay
higher prices for what they consume,
they may have some show of success.
Until then their scheme is doomed t.
failure.
The free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer is the greatest political swindle of
the century, for it gives to the wealthy
the power to double their wealth and

silver and the FAN in Prices.

The Philadelphia American, a paper
published in sound money city, but
devoted to the cause of free coinage, re-
peats. in a recent issue, the stale old as
sertion that it is the adoption of the
gold standard which has caused such
a marked decline in prices. Without
going into the general question of the
effect which the quantity of money in
n country has ON the prices of goods,
it is only needful to point to the fact
that prices have fallen just the same
in countries on silver basis as in
those using gold. Wheat is cheaper in
America than it was some years ago.
1t is also cheaper in India and Russia,
both silver standard eountries-in fact,
it is largely the competition of their
low-priced y wheat which has brought
down the price of the American wheat.
Can the American explain why the
cheap silver of Russia and India has
not kept up prices in those countries?
II using more silver would benefit our
farmers by giving them higher prices,
why has it not done so where silver is
the only money used? How can we
expect that bushel of wheat will buy
more goods if measured by silver dollars.
when il is found that in countries which
have always had the silver standard
wheat brings no more than in America?
These are questions which the be-
levers in sound money have been asking
ever since the present agitation for free
coinage was started. Is it not about
time that the silverites tried to answer
them2
