Man who once owned All OF

"Few people are aware" says
the Westminster Gazette, "that
the site of johannesburg and
large tract of the surrounding
land was once bought for 9350.
But such was the case, and the
purchaser now lies confirmed

through the Indian mutiny. He
then went to South Africa where
he fought against the Zulus and
the Beers. Before the Transvaal
was made over to the Beers he
purchased for G350 some $4,000 of
acres near the source of the Gro
codile, better known as the Linn
popo, where he made up his mind
ultimately to settle. But war
broke out, and he took up arms
against the Beers and formed one
Of the party who held Pretoria. In
1880, when the republic was de-

the result being that his land, now
estimated to be worth many mil

CLASS COFFINS.
Device Calculated to ReyoIutionize
the Undertaking Business.

CHICAGO, ILL, April I5.-Local
undertakers are interested in the
proposition of an Indiana COM
pany to manufacture glass collins
on large scale. In an interview
George f. Kimball, the plate-glass
manufacturer, stated that the idea
is entirely practicable, and that
coffins can be made from glass
much more cheaply than from
wood.
Kimball said that such coffins
could be constructed in the cheap
er grades for not more than 80
cents a running foot. Collins
made from glass would be much
more durable than metallic
caskets, and their extreme cheap
ness would cause their adoption
extensively in cases where death
is due to contagious diseases, in
which the law requires an her.
metically sealed casket.
A new method of manufacturing
glass, whereby it is made to SO
closely resemble the most costly
wood that the eye cannot dis
tinguish the difference, will en-
able the manufacturer to lend in
finite variety to his product.

Difference in Ways Not Ends.

Midst all the noise and buster that
the campaign is opening up, there is
really but two questions in the finance
problem, leaving aside the tariff. Can
the United States maintain silver at
par with free and unlimited coinage
and without an international agree
ment with at least several of the other
nations with which we do business?
and should the ratio be sixteen to one?
The Republican party as we'll as the
others, is friendly to silver and desires
its full and unrestricted use. It has
given us the purchase laws and all
other acts favorable to the support of
silver so far passed by congress. 1t
believes that the government cannot
at this time maintain silver at parity
without the aid OF at least two of the
nations which had free coinage with
the United States prior to 1878. I,
believes that protective tariff ane
free coinage must 60 together, and
where a foreign country discriminate.
against our silver we can protect oul
interests against them by means o
the tariff. H. believes that free trad,
would ruin free silver and this who'll
country, by leaving the United State
at the mercy of every foreign country
with no means of protection agains
their greed.
The second question is as to ratio
The ratio at the beginning of thi
government was set at Is to l, but il
1884 the ratio was changed to 16 to ]
and now at the bullion value is almos
double. The republican party ques
tions the power of this government t.
maintain silver at par at this rati,
without the combination with othe
nations, and an international agree
ment might find that different rati
was necessary to maintain stabl
currency.

He Can't Support it. land Why.

KAMILcHE, Aug. 4th 1896.
GENTLEMEN of the Republican Cen
trail Committee of Mason Co:
| send you this communication wi h
q few reasons why l cannot act with
you as member of the Republican
party on gold platform ar gold basis.
LIST. / believe it to be dangerous to
the welfare of the government and
the country at large allow few men
to dictate to us what our money shall
be and to have the power to corner
when and where and how they please
to the injury of the masses of the
people.
I'd. The constitution of the United
States delegates to Congress the right
to coin money, regulate the value
thereof and fix standard of weights
and measures. CART. /, sec, s, para
graph 81
1t further says: "No state state
shall coin money, emit bills of credit,
make anything but gold and silver
legal tender in payment of debts"
Under these provisions which clarly
imply that gold and silver should be a
legal tender in payment of debts has
congress the right to demonetize gold
or silver or delegate to banks the right
to issue legal tender money. This
clause certainly impose upon congress
the duty of providing for the coinage
of silver and making it full legal
tender in payment of debts as we'll
as gold, because it especially provides
that state may make silver coin a
tender in payment of debts, and it
also prohibits the state from coming
money. 1t may be assumed as settled
beyond question that the constitution
also imposed upon congress the duty
of making legal tender silver coin.
am certainly OF the opinion that
gold and silver at the ratio fixed by
congress constitute the legal standard
OF value in this country and that
neither congress nor any state has the
right or authority to establish any
other standard or to displace this
standard. ! believe gold and silver to
be the money of the constitution and
therefore cannot subscribe to the
platform adopted by the Republicans
Of this state at Everett or by the
National convention at st. Louis.
Hoping the above will give you my DO
litical position, 1 remain yours truly,
j. B. FoRBEs.
We had intended taking issue with
Mr. Forbes on the two points he makes.
but win now deter until some other
time.-ED.]
