The Farmers Free Coinage.


The farmer is beginning to ask the question ifit is
right for the government to help thenlan who produces
Silver, why should not the government also help the
who produce wheat? Both Silver and Wheat are
products and must be regulated by the law Of supply
and demand.
If the opening up Of new wheat fields, improved
machinery and methods of farming since 1878
have caused increased production, which has made
that product cheaper, why does the thing APP
ply to the other product silver? 1t does, be
readily proven Thousands of of new wheat fields
have been opened up the past % years and the
put of wheat is greatly increased 1t IS necessarily
cheapened. This is a natural law of trade. Likewise
the production of silver has greatly increased, and 1t
has become cheaper of course by this natural law OF
supply, just the any other product would
For instance during the five years from 1878 to
1878, there hundred and eighty three $4,000
OO0) millions OF dollars worth of silver produced and
in the FIVE years from 1888 to 1898 there three
hundred and fifty 1851 OOOOOO) millions worth of
silver produced-almost double the amount of the first
five years Why should it not be cheaper? 1t is and it
should be- In 1873 81 grains of silver worth 81
In 1896, with almost double the amount produced
271 grains of silver worth in the markets just 90
to 53 cents
Now the men who produce silver and own it want
this coin their silver into dollars tree OF
any charge to them. In other words, these who

the government melt each 81 grains and stamp it
dollar and give it back them free, when these 81
grains are not worth 53 cents. The government
makes nothing, and nobody could make anything

and unlimited coinage at 16 to /, means that Uncle
Sam alone shall take all the worlds silver and stamp

The production of wheat has than doubled in
the past 23 years. both in this country and the world
at large Now if is right for Uncle Sam to help the
silver owners of the world-or rather to try t-by

would it not be right to pass law declaring that %

either proposition and the only thing necessary to
realize it is for any intelligent to lay asd his pref

Some Facts about Money.

Some Facts about Money.
/. The law of 1878 did not con-
tract the currency OF the United
States by SO much as penny.
2. The currency of the country Is
now three times as much as it was III
1870, and the poorest dollar we have
now is as good as the best dollar We
had then.
3. From 1873 to 1892 the United
States enjoyed the greatest prosperi-
ty that has eyer been experienced by
this or any other nation since histo-
ry has been written.
4. Neither the act of 1873 norany
act since has driven a dollar of silver
out of circulation nor lessened the
power of any silver dollar
). This country has coined 80
times as many silver dollars since
1873 as it did prior to that time,
and every dollar coined since is as
good as any dollar coined before.
6. This country has more silver
money in gross, and more per capita
! than any free silver country in the
| world
Z. Every silver dollar eyer coined
by this government, whether before
or since 1878, is full legal tender for
any debt in the United States. The
legal tender quality OF silver dollars
has never been abridged except dur
ing the five years from 1873 to
1878.
8. In this country silver circulates
side by side with gold, and a silver
dollar will buy as much of any
kind Of property as a gold dollar,
but this is not true Of any free silver
country.
8. A silver dollar will buy twice
rs much of any kind Of property i'll
the United States as it will in any
free silver country on earth.
10. The per capita circulation OF
money in the United States is BIB per
cent more than it is inGreat Britain.
II. Mexico has free and unlimited
coinage OF silver, but one American
silver dollar will buy two Mexican
silver dollars, even in Mexico.
II. The wages of laborers are
much higher in the United States
than in Mexico. and the cost Of liv-
ing is less.
13. The per capita circulation in
this country is nearly three times
that of tree SILVER Mexico, and one of
our poorest collar will buy two Of
Mexico's best dollars.
Il. The world has produced as
much gold, and twice as much silver,
in the last % years as in the previ-
Gus 30 years.
Is. The worlds coinage of gold
alone has averaged more this year
for the last % years than the coin
age OF gold and silver combined the
previous 80 years.
16. This country had free coinage
of both metals for so years, but it
never had the concurrent circulation
of gold and silver till 1879.
II. This country is under the sim
gle gold standard now, has been so
legally since 1874, and has been SO
! practically since 1884. -

statement issued which is up to July

\ NAVAL STATION.
Plan to Educate Boys in a Train
ing School at Mil
waukee.

Washington, D. c., May 2.-ISpecial.]
Congressman Often today introduced
a bill of great Importance to Milwau-
kee and the whole Northwest. 1t di-
reefs the secretary of the navy to estab-
fish at Milwaukee training station
for naval apprentices, similar to that at
Newport for the purpose of educating
boys as seamen. A board of three COM
missioners is to be appointed to select
a site for the station. two of whom
are to be naval officers, appointed by the
secretary Of the navy. and one an army
officer. to be appointed by the secre-
tary of war. The site when selected is
to be transferred to the navy depart
ment for the purpose of the station
The bill appropriates 100000 with
which to buy a site and erect the neces-
sary buildings, and it contains pro-
vision that the apprentices while at the
training school shall be additional to the
number of enlisted persons allowed by
law for the navy. That is done because
a limit is placed upon the number OF
people who can be enlisted in the navy
and if the apprentices were included IN
the number there would not be sumclent
men remaining to man the ships.
system Has Proved a Success.
The apprentice station system has been
y
a success. although there is but one such
station in the Countrywide one at New
port. Attempts have been made to estab-
fish one one the Pacific coast, but have
failed so far Senator Perkins under
took to establish one by amendment to
the naval bill. but withdrew his amend
ment when objection was made to 1T.
He said. however, that he would take
the matter up again next winter and
push it through Naval officers think
that station ought to be established on
the Pacific coast and another on the
Great lakes. and Mr.. Otjen's bill will no
doubt meet with the approval OF the navy
department. :,
BOYS from IA to 16 are taken at the
Newport station and are given thor
ough education, not only on seamanshlp,
but in the ordinary branches OF learning
as we'll. At a certain time they are
placed on training ships and given les
sons in practical sailing.
Excellent Volunteer Officers.
AT p years of age they go out from
the school and enter the navy or go into
business, as they see fit. A compare
lively small part of them enter the navy,
but they are where they could be reached
if they were needed, and in the event OF
war they would make excellent volunteer
officers, which is one reason why. the
naval authorities are. so much In favor
of the system. 1t is believed that II
there were more stations the effect would
be to put more Americans into the navy
and drive out some of the foreign sea-
men. At present there are large num-
bers of foreigners in the service and the
naval authorities think it would mate
rally improve the navy to get more
Americans into it.
There will not be time to get the bill
through at this session. but Mr.. Often
will push it at the next session.

ORE POOL is BEATEN.
Easy to Make Arbitrary Prices, but
Hard to Get Orders at Those
Figures.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 2.-The Bessemer
iron ore pool has discovered that Pitts
burg is not easy If the gentlemen inter-
ested in that great combination of capi-
tai had any doubts about it, they have
been dispelled. They now know that it
it one thing to arbitrarily make a price,
and another thing to get it.
Representatives of the pool firms have
made their annual pilgrimage to Pitts
burg, and found the big furnace men
shy They were as unwilling as a maid
en- receiving an undesirable marriage
proposal. They were courteously refused.
Although they had received intima-
tons that this would happen, they never
company and the Laughlin Furnace COM
pany, which are outside of all combines
this year, would show a disposition to
do business. but it was not so. Neither
firm bought a pound.
1t was given out by the ore men that
they did make contracts for, 100000
tons. at 81 q ton. but no such tonnage
can be located in this district.
AS matter of fact, the Rockefeller
81 ore pool in this district has, up to
date, received cold, cold shoulder, and
to some well-posted people indications
are that the Carnegie company may
not need ore at that price.
Allegheny county for Bessemer ore this
year aggregate 100000 tons. Deduct
ing the ore consumed by the Carnegie
company and Laughlin & Co., the ton
mage of all other furnaces in the country
will be approximately 1,555,O00 tons.
Since the Carnegie company and Laugh
lin & Co. did not buy, the sales of the
pool in this district could not have
amounted to a tonnage in excess of the
last figures.
The ore people will deny there is a
fight between the pool and the two local
companies last named. Technically, that
is true, for there is nothing to fight.
When pool conferences were held, and
restriction of production was decided
upon, the allotment of tonnage was not
agreeable to the Pittsburg men, for they
consume all the ore their mines produce,
and the others sell in the market. They
therefore refused to become parties to
the pool, and since no fight could stop
them, conditions remain in statu quo.
If, however, powerful lake shipping in
terest, closely identified with the pool,
can offer obstruction to transportation
of these ores, steel and iron men may see
q fight

London. May LIN the House of
Lords today Baron Loeb formerly Sir
Henry Brougham Loeb, governor of the
high commissioner of Cape Colony
made a statement regarding the
announcement by the Temps of
Paris in dispatch from Pre-
toria saying that the government of
the Transvaal had found among the pa
pers of Lionel Phillips, president of the
johannesburg Chamber Of Mines and
one of the condemned reformers, a letter
dated July 1, 1894, to London financier,
proving that during a visit to Johannes
burg Sir Henry Loeb had asked Mr..
Phillips whether Johannesburg could
hold out for six days, what arms the
inhabitants possessed, and offered to
spin out the Swaziland convention nego-
tiations for six months to enable johann
nesburg to prepare and then bring troops
for an invasion of the Transvaal.
Baron Loeb said that he denied in the
most unqualified manner the statement
that he had at any time proposed ilva
sion into the Transvaal.
