studying the cause of the present de-
pressed condition, and is clamoring
for instructive and reliable inforna
tion bearing OH this subject. That
such information is withheld by our
government is a disgrace to a nation
which claims to have made every rea-
sonabe effort to secure international

must be lowered into the Shiny pool of
politics and after being made the foot
ball of political parties during cam
paign of heated and possibly unintelIi-
gent discussion, controlled, perchance,
by the party using the most money
with which to lubrlcate party machin-

first be placed in the hands of an able,

well-known patriots, with power to
fully investigate the question and pub

The opposite course seems to cor
troll the action of our government Off
cials. Probably the ablest monetary
discussion ever held, was that known
as the Brussels conference, in which
the ablest monetary students of this
and other nations of like rank took
part. A full report of the proceed
ings OF the conference was published by
our government, and after few copies
were distributed, the balance was vir-
tually suppressed. 1t is practically
impossible to obtain copy of that in
valuable report from government off,

the various departments for days with"
out avail, when he learned they could
be obtained at q secondhand book
store, where he bought one for $1.50.

Money Lovers.

No question is of equal Importance to
the money-loving and money-maling
Americans, as the question of their
money, for which they strive vigor-
ously by day and dream of by night.
Money, that which exchanges for the
laborers daily toll, and the product OF
the farmer and manufacturer, is of
absorbing interest to every citizen,
from the child who buys candy with
its first penny to the millionaire who
deals in money exclusively. That all
want Sound money" there can be no
question; but We may not agree as 70
what is Sound money" Hero the
question arises: does the scarcity of a
metal make it sound or does a more
liberal supply of another metal make
it. unsound? Does not the necessary
amount of the best money we can con-
troll, constitute Sound money!" JOHN
c. Calhoun said in the United States
senate. March 21, 1884. IF we turn
our attention to the laws which govern
circulation we shall find one of the
most important to be that, as the cir
culaticn is increased or decreased, the
rest Of the property will, all ether
things remaining the same, be de-
creased or increased in value, exactly
in the same proportion" 1t would
seem then that in order to have sound
money we must have a fixed supply Of
money, that its purchasable value will
rot frequently change. ] ask you to
note the difference between a fixed
supply" and fixed amount"
The monetary question is of such i'm
portance to our prosperity that all who
understand it, approach its discussion
with great caution. Yet it is as easily
solved as are any of the great ques-
tions of commerce.

An event of more than usual significance
Mr.. and Mrs. F. B. Long on Groveland
avenue, by which a double wedding united
four happy young persons, OF whom two were
son and daughter of the house The contract
dore S. Mclaughlin, Miss Cora Lillian Curtiss
and Louis L. Long. double marriage is of
infrequent occurrence in polite circles, and the
spacious parlors were filled with notable
company of guests. The house radiant
with decorations of autumn flowers and fol-
tege, asters, tamarack and ferns. A spanning
arch and two half arches leading from the
hall to the reception room were decorated
with ferns and white satin ribbons. The cere-
mony took place in the drawing room beyond,
where the mantel was banked with ferns upi-
forum and chrySanthemumS, and every avail
able ledge bore its weight of flowers
There was luttering of fans and rustling
of silks as the music of the orchestra, which
had been playing, became lower and sweeter,
and the wedding march announced the COM
ing of the bridal train. The procession made
pretty picture it proceeded down the
polished staircase in view of the expectant
assemblage and passed between two rows
of the girls from Epsilon chapter of Alpha
Phi, the sorority in the university, of which
Miss Long is popular member. The ushers
were Messrs. William Baird and Ray Robb.
Leading the procession was Miss May Dom

Reba Newcomb and Litton Van Doren. The
two brides came next, wearing prettily fash

to the drawing room, where the officiating
clergyman, Rev. Pleasant Hunter, stood in
waiting. He performed two ceremonies, first
marrying Miss Long and Mr.. Mclaughlin,
then Miss Curtiss and Mr.. Long. Then the
two couples turned to receive congratulations
and the brilliant scene became even more
animated as the guests pressed forward to
speak their good wishes. The display of
gifts to the brides was large and varied, in

presents of the usual order. Two handsome

RAN BEHIND A LITTLE.
Flour Output the Past Week &c.,
OSS RlrreIs

One group of mills fell behind last week
and the output showed decrease of 1900
bbls. says the Miller. The weeks produce
ton was 266, 0S5 bbls, against $50 $50 bbls the
preceding week. This weeks figures may
show another decrease. The -four market
last week was rather quiet, sales approx
mating only 160, 900 bbls. Business done
abroad was light, high ocean rates being
the most serious obstacle. Most millers re-
port that importers bidding about the
same as before rates advanced, and there
is little chance for any considerable trans
actions. However, local mills are pretty
well sold ahead on all grades, save patent.
and that is moving slowly The domestic
buying is light, and of a hand-to-mouth sort.
Since the millers' association suspended oper-
ations, prices have suffered badly, and the
medium sized mills in particular complain of
the effect of the change. The old cut-throat
fight is again in full swing and no one il
benefited. Minneapolis prices on patent are
a shade easier, though not quotably lower
On export trade, the millers seem to be hold
ing trife firmer.

EXPO MATTER BoBs UP.
Stockholders Make New PROPOSE
ton to the City.

The combination council committee on ways
and means and public grounds and buildings
does not favor the proposition whereby the
city was to give the Exposition company a
n quit claim deed to its interest, real or i'm
aginary. in the big building for 1000 con-
sideration, which was to be taken out in an
indefinite lease of a portion of the structure
for different municipal purposes The joint
committee did think quite favoraby Of the
proposition at one time, but visit to the
building week or two since convinced the
aldermen that the idea wouldn't do at all,
and that the building could not conveniently
be used for the purposes proposed. They
decided that the plan was not feasible and
would have to be abandoned.
The Exposition company was so informed
and at yesterdays meeting of the committee
another proposition was made. 1t was in
business, make over It's interest in the build
ing in exchange for certain property on
Main and Prince streets, adjacent to the Elk
position building. The property in question
includes lots g. 4, 5, and z, on Main street,
and lots SO, 81, SO, 80 and 40, on Prince street.
B. F. Nelson, of the firm of Nelson, Tenney
Co., one of the heavy owners of the Ex-
position property had word to say in con-
nection with the making of the offer. He
said: "Of course, you gentlemen understand
that in making this proposition we don't do
so because we really believe that the city has
any valid interest in the Exposition property.
Indeed, we have no doubt but that we could
establish our individual ownership and clear
the title for all time if we wished to carry
the very idea of avoiding legal complications
that make this offer. We understand
perfectly well that If we were to go to law
over this matter a great deal of time would
be wasted and that it might take US a year
to establish our claim. Then, again, it would
cost considerable, probably not less than
s., 600, which we believe the lots in question
to be worth. Our main purpose in making
this proposition is to reach short way out
of the difficulty
1t was shown that it would be to the city s
interest to purchase the lots on the terms
specified as the property thus secured might
conveniently be used location for future
engine house. an armory, a storage house, a
police station most anything else.
The matter was taken under advisement
and the committee adjourned subject to the
call of the chairman, after conference with
Attorney Hawley, who represents the EXPOSE
tion company.
This leaves the great convention hall with
a most uncertain future before it. If the
city accepts the latest proposition made then
the company will be free to do as it pleases
with the building, and everything indicates
that 1t will speedily be turned into an i'm
mense manufacturing plant Certainly the
company will devote the structure to its own
best interests the opportunity
offers and thus relieve itself of a property
which has been a burden in more ways than
