A farmer raises 1000 bushels Of
wheat, for which he now gets $500.
With that money he buys various
Kinds of manufactured goods at low
prices. With free coinage at 16 to /
he might get $1,000 for his wheat. but
would certainly have to pay nearly
twice as much for the goods he would
ouy. How much would the farmer
gain from cheap money scheme which
doubled the price Of the things he gets
IN exchange for his wheat?
The Sherman silver law Of 1890 pro-
Vided for the purchase by government
OF 100000 ounces of silver per
year. Under the operation of that law
the price Of silver, after short specu-
lative rise. fell steadily from $1.16 to
Is cents per ounce. Il the purchase
and storage of practically the entire
American production Of silver could
not prevent its price from falling, what
reasons are there for believing that
the mere act Of coming silver into
dollars and returning them to the
owners Of the bullion will double the
price Of all the silver in the world?
A workingman who depends for his
livelihood on the sale of his labor to
an employer is now paid 81 per day

A large number of persons who
complained that they were poor de-
cided to enact laws which would make
them all rich. AS their poverty con-
sisted in the lack of food, clothes
furniture. houses and other forms OF
wealth. they agreed that instead OF
producing the things they needed they
would set men to work digging silver
which they did not need, out of the
Rocky mountains. BY so doing they
expected that the supply Of other la

way be increased. How much is twice

out, four lots were set aside for lunch
stands. Those lots have all been rented
by one man, who has thus secured a
monopoly. Luckie says that he rented

standing there, and that he has been
subject to various petty annoyances. the
last of which has been to build a barbed
wire fence to cut him Off The matter

The Army as a Career,

The object of an army in the United
States is not necessarily, in the main,
to conduct campaigns and fight battles,
nor to take human life. AS the city
police must watch over the city and
guard it against all sorts of danger, be-
ing ready, with its weapons of offense
or defense, to strike when other de-
vices fail, so our army watches against
certain dangers to the republic, giving
nerve and strength to the executive
helping to restrain wild Indians, to cap
ture mistaken hordes of tramps, or to
quiet mob violence aimed against the
common veal, or, with naval help, to
hold back public enemy; but ready,
of course, like the effective city police,
to strike at command, when the COM
mander-n-chief, with the sovereign ma
ton behind him, has come to the last
resort of human expedients for guard
ing the nations life or its honor. Gen
eral Howard, in the Forum.

Grants Ancestors.

The pedigree of the Grant family has
been interesting people good deal of
late. Not long ago a sort of cousin
ship, through their great -grandpar-
ents, was traced between General
Grant and Jefferson Davis. More
lately writer in the Vermonter gave
currency to the notion that Mrs. Grant
was "a daughter of Vermont" A
Vermont editor wrote to Colonel Grant
in New York for some authentic in
formation on this subject of his moth
er's birthplace, and he replied as fol-
lows: "My mother was born in St.
Louis, Mo-; her father was born at
Cumberland, Md, and her mother
came from Pittsburg, Pa. Whoever
gave her birthplace as Vermont was
mistaken. My fathers family, how
ever, came from New England, Mat
thew Grant having settled at Windsor,
Conn.,, in 1885, and the family remained
there until my great-grandfather, soon
after the Revolutionary War, went to
western Pennsylvania, where my grand
father was born. Very truly yours,
Frederick d. Grant" So it appears
that Mrs. Grant was not only not a
daughter of Vermont, but not Ne v
Highlander, except remotely by mar.

The Great Encampment.

The G. A. R. encampment 10 be held
at St. Paul next September will be an
event of interest aside from it's feature
as meeting of the old soldiers. The
rate of fare made to this meeting, OF
one cent per mile, from the East, is
something that the Northwest has so
far never had. This low rate is not
confined to old soldiers, but may be
taken advantage of by anybody. 1t will
be an opportunity never before offered
for eastern people to visit the North
west, and undoubtedly thousands will
take advantage of it. The extent of the
cut in rates is well illustrated by the
fact that the regular fare between Chi
cago and st. Paul is $l2, and for this
occasion it will be reduced to 81. Peo-
pie to the south and east who wish to
visit the Northwest will be very apt to
take advantage of these low rates.

Slightly Discriminating.

The inequality even in governmental
affairs exhibits itself every once in a
while, but never more clearly than
when it comes to the endowing of a
widow of some official, who has had a
large salary during his life, with large
monthly pension. The latest is the
granting of 800 per month to the
widow of the late w. @. Gresham.
The original bill provided for 5000, but
it was cut in two, and then is by far too
high. Many poor widows husband,
perhaps several sons and father, who
went forth at their country's call
and defended our cause, even unto
death, receives perhaps but paltry
800 per year. Many the man, de-
crepit with age, in poverty from i'll
ness contracted during service for oul
flag, that it might exist, ekes out a
miserable existence on stingy "a pei

secret of genuine thrift. With ma
jority of women the one item of corsets
is heavy yearly expense. Black and
colored stays are always in doubtful
taste, and the snow-white ones so
largely preferred are very readily tar

give ones cOrsets sun bath not less
than three times week, and about
once in seven days go over the entire
surface with nail brush dipped in
