What Kind Of Money Does Every
body Want?

What does a man want money for, any
how ? To spend, doesn't he ?
What kind of money does he want ?
Money that he can get the most for,
doesn't he .?
What kind of money can he get the
most for? Money made of gold, can't heq
Why? Because everybody wants it,
don't they?
Why doesn't everybody want silver
money ? Because they can't buy 80 much
with it as they can with gold.
What kind OF money do the silver
miners want to force US to take ? Silver
dollars, don't they?
What do they want to force us to take
them for ? Because they can mine the sill.
YER and get Uncle Sam to coin it into dol.
lars at a cost to them of less than 80
cents apiece.
Then they expect to put cheap dollars
off on us at a dollar apiece. do they? Yes.
Then they think We are fools enough to
give them a dollars worth OF work for a
kind of q dollar that costs them half az
much. Is that the trick Yes; that's
their little game.
How do they play it ? With loaded dice;
"heads they win, tails you lose"
How are they going to fool us that
way? By getting us to vote for Bryan
and Sewall Peter Porocupine.

See-Saw of the Standards on the
Mexican Border.

correspondence st. LOU Globe-Democrat
A man in Laredo borrwed $4,000 ten
years ago. The loan was in Mexican
money in payment. The rate of interest
was 10 per cent. That mau had the use of
the money ten years. He paid the princi-
pal a few weeks since. When he calculat-
ed the interest and added it to the princi-
pal he discovered that he had paid his
creditor 5000 less than he had originally
received. In other words, he had obtained
$4,000 and enjoyed the use of it ten years
for just $500. How was that? The
Mexican money borrowed ten years ago
was worth almost dollar for dollar at that
time. 1t was worth 48 cents on the dollar
when the debt was paid. A note of $4,000
was Iiouidated with $3.50. The interest
at 10 per cent. in Mexican money cost the
debtor for the entire ten years $292O. The
total paid to the creditor wal S5o0o. Inc
/ details of this transaction are vouched for
by the financial experts who sit out IN
front OIL the Laredo hotel after supper and
| discuss the silver question.
1t is eaey to make imaginary specula-
| tions out of this see-saw of the standards
on the frontier. An actual case can be
given. When Kennedy, the southwest
! Texas cattle baron, was dividing property
among his children he announced his in
| tention to give each of them $50, 600 at a
| certain time. Acting on this expectation a
| son. in law proceeded to contract for the
| construction OF five houses in Nueva
| Larado, one of which is now the Consul
| late General of the United States. MIR.
| Kennedy was slower in his distribution
| than he had planned. He didn't get
| through with it until three or foul years
| after the time he had fixed. The son in
law. finding himself in need of money to
| complete his houses, borrowed $15, 600 in
| Mexican silver, then worth nearly par. In
the course of time the inheritance was
paid, Mexican silver had in that time
| deprecated so much that the son in law
paid off his SIS, 900 debt, interest and
principal, on the Mexican sid of the
river with the use of only $4,000 of the
American money received from the estate.
He had put SIS, 900 into his buildings,
and enjoyed the rents from them several
years, at a cost only of $4,000, including
interest.

NEWS AT THE COUNTY.sEAT
SALEM, Sept. II, 1896.

The game law of last winter is not
proving satisfactory to the sportsmen who
enjoy reed and rail bird shooting. The
reed and rail bird season begins the first
Of September. and ends the last. This is
too short a time, and the birds escape the
first half of October, when they are the
most plentiful, and by far in better con-
dItlon. Farmers and sportsmen who live
alone the meadows, down the river, are
quite disgusted with this state of affairs
and they propose to make a very vigor-
u appeal to the next Legislature to
make changes, prolonging the season.
Tbe short season is also killing a vast
quantity of birds that are not needed or
desired, simply because the gunners are
slaughtering everything in sight, as their
sport does not last long. 1t is thought
that au effort will be made to have the
law changed next winter in accordance
with the dmands of the sportsmen.
The political pot is simmering slightly,
but the Democrats are furnishing very
little kindling. The free silver advocates
are working the bellows.
William Barton, Of YORKTOWN, was
a1raigned in Justice Woods Court on
tuesday for misconduct. He was placed
under a 5000 bound to keep the peace and
required to pay a fine and cost of prose-
cution, amounting to $3.50.
Auctioneer Casper on Saturday sold six

at $40 25 per share.

In a speech to Pennsylvania farmers
on Tuesday Major Mckinley summed up
the political situation in this way: "Ne
have but one political party which is
united, and that is ours. Discord reigns
In all others. Our time.honored oppo'
nent, the Democratic party, is torn and
divided. Two National Conventions have
been held by it and two national tickets
presented, and their platforms are totally
different on every subject and in almost
every section. The Populist party has
merged its organization into that of the
Chicago Democratic and st. Louis Silver
organizations, and their allies are fol
the most part harmonious, except that
each has a distinct and different candidate
for Vice President. Happily the Republi
can party was never more closely united
than now, both in fact and in spirit, ano
there was never better reason for suct
union and never greater necessity for il
than now."

In that event, Governor Griggs and the

may be well to study which side of the

Maine settles candidate Sewall. Tom
Watson now dances in high glee.
The people of Maine were strongly
inclined to the 16 to / ratio-that is 16 to

Maine seems to indicate that the
farmers are not on the fenee-they can't
afford to be sitting there.

thing in common beside their love of

there this year, and they appear to have

The result of the election in Maine on
Monday was a genuine surprise. While
it was generally expected that the Pine
Tree State would give a Republican plu-
rality, such a significant aud important
victory was hardly looked for in the face
Of the large claims made by the free silver
advocates, and the fact that the Democrat
10 Vice.P Presidential candidate resides IN
that State. The plurality for Governor
Powers is placed at so, 600, a result that
most forcibly indicates the drift of popu-
lar sentiment in reference to the money
question. 1t is Enthusiastically in the di-
rection of sound money and national
honor. Vermont foreshadowed the atti-
tude of the Eastern States on the financial
issue, and gave the lie to the story that
the Eastern farmers had succombed to the
cheap money temptation, held out by MIR.
Bryan and his followers. The influence
Of the Maine election will be most salu-
tary on the entire country, for the Pine
Tree State, of all the East, was the most
favorable ground for a free silver propa-
gsnda. 1t was deeply infected with the
greenback idea, and was once carried by
aFusion ticket ON a greenback issue. The
free silver campaign was prosecuted with
great vigor in every corner of the State,
and high hopes were entertained of hold
ing down the Sound Money plurality.
These hopes were signally disappointed.
Honest men of both parties united to make
the voice of Maine go echoiDg into every
State of the Union with the Dews hat
the programme of scaling down deots and
giving license to riot is doomed. Farmers
or wage.earners, Democrats or Repuo-
lioans, it is all one, the people are for
honesty and order. Maine is far East, ii
10 true, and they say that as you go West
the people who want to cheat grow
thicker, says the New York Tribune, but
this 10 q libel which nobody will believe
without proof and the proof is not forth
coming. They said the craze was in Yer
mont and Maine, but it was not. Int
answer from other States may be awaited
then with confidence. Work must not
cease, but the work may be done in good
spirits with full expectation that it will
not fail. Maine calls on the whole country
to strive for a place of honor among the
States which stand for the Nations good
name. She has set the pace. They mus
be active to rival her.

The Democrats of this CoDgressional
District, following the example of the
national organization, have been swal-
lowed up by the Populists, on a free silver
platform, with John T. Wright as their
candidate. The oldtime leaders, by Their
absence from the convention, were evil
IDENTIFY quite willing that the Populistf
should furnish the sacrifice, and thus
relieve them at least for a time. Mr.,
Wright starts out quite presumptuous in
challenging Congressman Loudenslagel
to a joint debate, but it is not likely that
Mr.. L~oudenslager will give him such an
opportunity to puff his vanity. How
about the Democratic county organiza'
