The FARMERS INTEREST,".
How He Would BE Affected BY Cheop
Dollars-Quantities and Values.

How He Would BE Affected by Cheap
Quantities and Values.
The effect of the free coinage Of silver.
which is desired by nine-tenths of the
people who favor it, would be to sub
stitute for the present dollar dollar
worth half as much. 1t is alleged that
this would substantially double prices,
wheat would be worth $1.44 instead of
7c cents, and on this ground the cheap
money scheme has good deal of fas-
cination for farmers, who have been suf-
fering seriously from the low prices at
which they have had to sell their prod
ucts. ss .
Will the farmers take the trouble to
ask themselves how they would be any
better off if they got twice as many dol
lars for their wheat and corn, but each
dollar was. as it is proposed to make it,
worth just half of the present dollar?
IT an act of congress made 16 quarts a
bushel the number of bushels of wheat
in the country would be doubled, but
the quantity of wheat would not be In
creased by n single grain, nor the value
of the wheat in the country be increased
by a single cent. We take it that no
farmer needs to have this explained to
him. Two bushels of 16 quarts are ex-
actly equal to one bushel of 80 quarts.
Nothing is gained by changing the size
of the measure of quantity. No more
would the value be changed by chang
ing the measure of value.
Supposing that the silver dollar were
substituted for thegold dollar and prices
had doubled. All prices would be At
fected, not alone the prices of agricul-
tural products. All the money that the
farmer receives he spends in one way
or another, unless he hides it away in n
stocking which he rarely does. In
every purchase he would have to spend
two dollars where he now spends one
dollar. Changing the value of the dol
lars cannot possibly change the num-
Der Of bushels Of wheat that must be
paid for suit Of clothes or moving
machine, because the same dollar meas
ures the value of each, and il wheat
doubles in price other things double.
Taxes might not double the first year,
but as the town and county and state
would have to pay two prices for every
thing the tax levy would have to be
doubled the next year.
A change in the dollar affects taxes
just as much as it affects corn. It'can-
not double the value of one without
doubling the burden of the other.
Debts would not be Immediately
doubled, existing debts could not be
changed in amount, and as they could
be settled with dollars half as valuable
as the present ones, those that were
borrowed, the debtor would shave half
his obligation. But with reduction OF
one-half in the value of the dollar i'm
pending, or in process, there would be
an energy in collecting old debts and Il
refusal to renew loans thatwould crush
a large portion of the debtors, who, if
no change be made or threatened, will
have plenty of time to take up their OBJ
legations without sacrificing their prop
crty. After the change was effected
the farmer would have, il he borrowed,
to borrow twice as many dollars as now,
because each dollar would buy only half
as much.-N. Y. Journal of Commerce

PICKED UP IN THE STREET.
A Blacksmith Finds His Tool to Be {
 Nugget of Pure Gold.

S
 Curious thirgs sometimes happen in the gold bearing regions of the north west. The Blackfoot (Idaho) News tells of a 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 aueerly, 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.

 July would be aroused without the cooperation of Tucson wheelmen. It is a notorious fact that in all enter tainments given by Tucson, Phoenix people have been conspicuously absent. The last instance of what the boys got to believing to be Phoenix selfshness was the failure of all but two of the Phoenix wheelmen to attend the Ma tional circuit meet here a couple of weeks ago. f.9t

dent. Judge Egan granted the appli-
cation and issued writs of attachment
