Every period of the depreciation of
the monetary unit has at once sent
prices up, the prices of the merchant,
who gets the news quickly, before those
of the farmer, who gets the news more
slowly, and n long time before The
wages of the laborer who cannot afford
to hold his labor out of market till he
gets proportionate increase for it.
Fixed incomes remain the same, and the
rise of prices inficts great suffering
on their recipients. Wages remain the
same for time and rise slowly, and
in the meantime the laborers complain
that prices have gone up SO that they
cannot afford to buy enough food and
clothing. The farmer gets two prices
for all he sells and pays two prices for
all he buys, and is no better off than he
was before the change. The bencfi-
Charles are debtors on obligations in
CURED before the change, and these are
not a very large class-many of them
are also creditors and lose out of one
pocket while gaining into the other

ways make profit in panics and crises
and periods of sudden changes of values

is no power to compel a nation to pay
its debts. Its credit depends on its
honor. The nation owes what it has
led or allowed it's creditors to expect?
] cannot approve a bill which in my
Judgment authorizes the violation of
sacred obligations. The obligation OF
the public faith transcends all ques-
tions OF profit or public advantage. Its
unquestionable maintenance is the die
tate as well of the highest eXpediency
as of the most necessary duty and should
be ever carefully guarded by the eXecu
tive, by congress and by the people"
He closed his message by saying that
"it is my firm conviction that if the
country is to be benefited by silver
coinage it can be done only by the issue
of silver dollars of full value, which
will defraud no man. A currency worth
less than it purports to be worth will
in the end defraud not only creditors,
but all who are engaged in legitimate
business, and none more surely that
those who are dependent on their daily
labor for their daily bread"

Chopping with a Dull Ak.

a frequently used argument for free
coinage is the claim that it would
"make more work" AS there are al
ways some idle men who want employ
ment, this promise is an attractive one.
But, like all other silverite promises, it
is based on a delusion. 1t is true that
under free silver the farmers and labor
ers would have to work harder in order
TO get the same quantity of goods that
they do now. In so far there would
be "more work." just as there would be
if all the lumbermen were forced to
chop with dull axes. But nobody wants
that kind of an increase in work. Men
do not really want work for itself, bat
for the things which they get in return
for their labor. A scheme which pro-
poses to make it more difficult to pro-
duce things is not likely to help the
people who already find that they have
to work too hard and too long for too
sr1all a quantity of the things they
need. Giving more opportunities for
idle men to get employment is a public
benefit. But making all who are now
employed work harder for the same re-
suits, which would be the effect of free
silver, would be a positive loss to the
whole people.

GROWTH OF CHICKS.
Figures That Have Been Verified by Care
full Experiments.

lui
The following is arrived at by careful
experiments, and should be preserved
for future reference:
The cost of feeding a chick is 1 cent a
week for ten weeks, or 10 cents for ten
weeks. The amount is very small at
first, but the fifth week the amount is
exactly 1 cent. After the tenth week
the cost increases. The chick should
then weigh two pounds, live weight,
thus costing cents pound.
The brood should double in weight
every ten days until the chicks are 40
days old, when they will gain greater
weight, but not so rapidly in proportion
TO weight. If penned up and fattened
with carbonaceous food the chicks will
gain one-fourth their weight in ten
days after they are of the size of three
pounds.
1t is estimated that ten pounds of
food (mixed grein) will keep chick in
good condition for ten weeks, but if the
weight of two pounds is expected, meat
and green food must be allowed The
experiments performed gave the above
results as an average. Some breeds of
chicks grow faster than others. espe-
cially those that feather slowly, and the
weights and cost will vary according to
the climate, warmth, shelter and man
agement given.-Prairie Farmer.

WHISKY FROM POTATOES.
overproduction Likely to Give Corn an
Energetic Rival


Energetic Rival
The enormous overproduction of DO.
tatoes last summer will probably result
in the establishment of potato distil-
leries in Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Michigan, where the tuber can be
bought for five cents bushel or less.
Potato whisky is made and consumed
on large scale in Germany and Aus
tria, and every traveller ir Ireland is
offered a sample of ''poteen." Few, eH.
cept the natives, ever have the courage
small quantities of ''poteen" are inn
ported into the United States, and stuff
bearing that name, and probably equal
ly as effective as the genuine, can be
had in every city.
The American distillers have not ex,
perimented much with potatoes. They
say the potato flavor is not relished by
men used to the Kentucky, Maryland
Pennsylvania or Tennessee article. A
$4,000 plant is being erected at
Manawa, Wis, according to press dis
patches, to use up part of the surplus
crop of 1895. The venture is being
watched by other distillers, and if it
proves successful corn will have for.
Inidable rival. 1t is estimated 297 ,0OO.-
600 bushels of potatoes were sold or
housed last year, compared with 170,-
100000 bushels in 1894. Many states
not specially adapted to potato raising
went into the market, and as a result
potatoes are now selling here to ped
dters at 12 or IA cents a bushel, and
! choice stock is going in small lots at
25 cents. 1t is believed the planting
in 1896 will be less than in 1895. but not
in the great potato states-New York.
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
/ Michigan, Illinois and Colorado. If
distillers can use potatoes they can al
ways find refuse stock at low prices
as the starch manufacturers do.

GIVING HIS WHOLE CASE AWAY |
MIR. Crisp Admits That Gold In the
Standard of Value.


In his Atlanta debate with Secrc.
tary Smith ex-Spealeer Crisp attempted
to answer the objection of the sound
money advocates against the so cent
dollar by saying: II tell you, my
friends, that 1 do not want the free and
unlimited coinage of silver unless the
bullion in silver dollar is worth az
much as the bullion in gold dollar.
All this rot about cheap money is sub
terfuge of those who are interested in
maintaining the dearest kind of money"
Mr.. Crisp has for years been clam
oring for free silver on the ground that
gold has increased in value and is too
scarce and dear to serve as money, and
has urged the necessity of having
cheaper money for the people" as
against dear money for the bankers.
Yet he now says that heonly wants free
coinage under the condition that the
bullion in silver dollar shall be worth
dollar in gold. That is exactly what
Thomas Jefferson favored when he adj
vised that the ratio between gold and
silver be fixed as nearly as possible at
the commercial value of the two metals.
1t is what the believers in an honest
dollar have always insisted on. A free
coinage law which should put 100 cents
worth of silver in each dollar would
not injuriously affect our present sound
financial system.
But what becomes of Mr.. Crisp's
promise that under free silver the peo-
pie would have cheap money? If gold
dollar is too dear to be used to measure
values, how would silver dollar which
is worth just as much be any cheaper?
| The commercial value of silver is now
about thirty to one. If Mr.. Crisp is hon
est in saying that he wants the bullion
in a silver dollar to be worth as much az
the bullion in a gold dollar, he would
| have to coin the two metals in a thirty

Notthe People,s Money.

The fat-money advocates are very in
consistent in that they oppose the re-
tirement of the greenbacks because
they are "the peoples money" and at
the same time protest against the bond
issues by which the treasury reserve is
maintained. For it is the greenbacks
that are used by the wicked bankers
and brokers to draw gold out of the
treasury, thus making bond sales nee
essary. If there were no greenbacks
the government could not be compelled
to furnish gold on demand. So long as
there are $346, 100000 demand notes out
standing it will be necessary to buy
gold in which to redeem them when
they are presented at the treasury. The
so-called peoples money" is proving
very expensive to the people who pay
the taxes which go to pay interest on
gold bonds.

HONESTY The BEST POLICY.
why President Hayes, in 1878, Vetoed the
Standard Silver Dollar Coinage Act.

why President Hayes, in 1878, Vetoed the
Standard silver Dollar Coinage Act.
President Hayes believed that our nn
tional honor could not be too jealously
guarded. In this he differed radically
from our sixteen to one statesmen, who
are anxious not only to see our govern
ment repudiate one-half of it's debts
but to see one-half of all debts repudi-
ated. 1t might be well for these hasty
statesmen to ponder some of Hayes
reasons for vetoing the act (passed over
his head) to coin and make legal ten
der silver dollars worth, in gold, only
90 to 90 cents. He said that "the right
to pay duties in silver or in silver Ger
tifieates for silver deposits will, when
they are issued in sufficient amount
to circulate, put an end to the receipt
of revenue in gold, and thus compel the
payment of silver for both the priu-
cipal and interest of the public debt"
He said that nearly $600,000,00o of
the funded debt then outstanding was
issued since 1873, "when gold alone was
the coin for which the bonds were sold
and gold alone was the coin in which
both parties to the contract understood
that the bonds would be paid" These
bonds" he continues, "entered into the
markets of the world. They were paid
for in gold when silver had greatly de-
preciated and when no one would have
bought them if it had been understood
that they would be paid in silver"
He believed that, in the judgment of
mankind, it would be an act of bad faith
not to guarantee that pre-eXisting debts
should be paid in as good money as was
legal tender when these debts were con
tracted-in other words, that the gov
ernment should not legalize the break
ing of contracts. "The standard of val
ue," he said, SHOULD not be changed
without the consent of both parties to
the contract. National promises should
be kept with unflinching fidelity. There

QUEER ELECTION BETS
DEPENDENT ON TIIL RESULT IN
The UNITED STATES.
Oue Man VIII Have to shave His
Head. silver IL and walk "a Mile
without II Hnt.

The following queer election
bets have been selected from a
large number published:
AS the result of an election
wager a man in Ripley, Ohio, is
going to shave his head, gild it
and walk mile without his hat if
Mckinley is elected. His oppo-
nent will silver his head if Bryan
carries off the prize.
Another novel bet has been
made in Philadelphia. The loser
is to resign his present position
and for year take up one in an
entirely different branch of indus
try.
Two young men Of Philadel-
phia have been paying very mark
ed attention to the same young
lady. They have decided to let
the election settle matters for
them. If the Democrat wins the
Republican is to stop calling on
the young lady for six months,
and vice versa.
A wager was drawn up at st.
John, Kans., the other day as
follows: "W. Glasscock and G.
Burnett make an agreement this
day, that if Mckinley is defeated
Glasscock is to eat a large, warty
toad, but If he is elected Burnett
is to eat the toad"
A novel bet was made last week
by S. G. Frost and j. l.. Fuller of
Shoshone, Idaho. Frost has 600
tons of hay cut and stacked. Full
er is to pay Frost So per ton for
said hay il Bryan be elected Presi.
dent, and should Mckinley be
elected Fuller gets the hay for
nothing.
Under the requirements of an
election bet Druggist Krautzman
Of Sedalia, Neb., will saw and
split cord of wood in front Of
his store in the event of Bryan's
success, whereas McKinley's vic.
tory will call for like exercise on
the part of V. r. Hall, the other
party to the wager.
