In Bimetaliic Countries.


Japan began as a bimetallic country
in 1871, coming silver and gold at 16.1r
to 1. In the past ten years she has
glided down to a silver-specie basis.
Her gold coins are quoted at 1876 in
her silver coins. She has $4,000, 900
in gold, $72,OO0,OOO in silver and $780,
100000 In notes, against which the
specie reserve Is SOL 100000, but the
bad money has driven out the good,
the currency is made up Of the notes,
which are redeemable in silver, and
the paper or silver yen, worth nomin-
ally $1.01 Is quoted at % cents in
Wall street, while the gold yen Is quot
ed at par ($D. Spain is sliding down
rapidly and surely to a silver basis.
All notes are issued by the Bank Of
Spain, which has in It's vaults every
gold coin In the country except those
held by numismatists. 1t redeems its
notes in silver. The premium on gold
rose from 10 per cent. in 1894 to %
per cent in 1895. Spain will settle nat
urally to silver basis in from three
to five years, or can be dropped to it In
an hour by the Bank of Spain or by a
demand Of the government on the peo-
pie for gold in payment Of taxes or du-
ties. Greece, the last to join the Latin
l(bimetallic) Union, is now only year
or two from a silver basis. Gold was
quoted recently at 160, and the paper
or silver drachma 90 cents 3 Mills at
u cents In gold.
A fall to 10 cents or rise in the gold
premium to 1913 puts Greece on sill
yer basis. Gold was 1877 Jan. 1, 1895,
but silver basis was STAYED off for a
little longer. The currency is SOL, 900,
900 in paper--notes issued by three
banks, redeemable In silver or gold,
but without enough metal behind them
to do it; only the government honor,
which means silver probably. 1t Is a

How to Make Peanut Candy.

How TO MAKE peanut Candy.
Here Is a simple peanut candy which
can be made and In the pans cooling In
ten minutes time. Children love dear
ly to make candy, and 1t is good rainy
day occupation for them. This may be
made on a gas stove used for heating
curling irons IL you do not wish to use
the kitchen.
Shell some freshly roasted peanuts
and, IL you wish, remove the thin skin
also. Place them In a buttered tin 80
that the nuts will almost cover the bot
tom Of the pan.
Put some granulated sugar into the
skillet or frying pan, allowing about
two teacupfuls for each pie tin full or
nuts that you have. Place the frying
pan over slow fire and stir all tho
time until the sugar Is melted, then
pour It over the nuts. No water must
be used. In melting the sugar turns
brown, but IL It IL constanfly stirred
does not burn. Set the pans out doors
or In a shallow basin Of cold water to
COOL and you win have delicious crisp
peanut candy.

Facts for Farmers.

Additional evidence shows how the
Wilson, orman tariff operates to injure
the farmer. The consumption of wheat
in this country has been as follows:
Per capita. Bushels
1890. .......... 800
1874. ........... ..................... 3.H
1870. ....... ............. ....... 4.o4
los
This shows Cos divided by q that
our average per capita consumption Of
wheat in 1894 and 1896 was trifie
under four bushels. This was 33 per
cent below the per capita home con-
sumption in 1890 when times were good
Surely any intelligent farmer ought to
be able to understand what that very
low consumption of wheat by our people
meant in 1894 and 1895. He realized its
force i'm the low price of wheat. Our
people were out of employment under
the Wilson bill and unable to buy and
consume as much as they did in 1890.
With a consumption in 1894 Of only
about so per cent. of what 1t was in
1890, the value of our home market and
labor fully employed in relation 20 the
price cannot be overlooked. The value
of "the markets of the world supplied
largely by Argentina and Russia with
cheap wheat are as nothing compared
with our own market In 1890 wheat
was worth 90 cents, in 1893 only 70
cents and In 1894 only Oh cents, the de-
cline in price being in about the same
ratio with the fall In home consumption
per capita. This presentation of facts
ought to be convincing.-Buffalo News.

The wolf in the fable blamed the
lamb for stirring up the bed Of the
stream and making the water muddy.
"But " said the lamb. ''the water runs
from you toward me. ! could not have
disturbed your drinking" "Oh. well, -
the wolf rejoined, "if you did not, your
grandfather did" And he straightway
dined ON young mutton.
The silverite wolves who are howling
calamity and threatening to overthrow
our sound financial system pretend to
find an excuse for their 10 to schemes
IN the unsettled condition of business
Because loans are being called in and
capital is timidly waiting the result Of
the elections, the advocates Of free COIN
age say. in the words Of their presiden-
tial candidate, "You are interfering
with business /" All unfavorable indica-
tims in trade and industry they loudly
ascribe toiothe gold standard, and the
manufacturers who are forced to limit
their output by reason Of the refusal Of
merchants to buy while there is SO much
uncertainty about prices are accused Of
being goldbugs who are purposely max
ing hard times.
It should be easy for all intelligent
voters to see through the hypocrisy of
the silverite claims Nothing can be
more certain than that instead of being
due to the gold standard any financial
stringency which may now exist is al
most entirely caused BY the agitation
for debased currency. With large
number Of Office seeking politicians 60
ing up and down the country shouting
for cheap dollars, and promising to cut
the measure of values in two II they
gain control Of the government, how
can business be good? A tight money
market simply means that the owners
Of capital are unwilling to make loans.
Does any reasonable man expect that
the threat Of enabling borrowers to pay
their debts in 90 cent dollars is going
to encourage investors to part with their
capital? On the contrary, is it not self
evident that the clamor for debt re-
pudiation policy is the real source of
business depression?
So long as there remains any doubt
as to the future financial basis Of our
great industrial and mercantile opera
tions SO long will there be anxiety and
fear in the commercial world. Distrust
will continue to breed failures; capital
will be scarce and interest high; debts
will be hard to collect, and investors
will hesitate to engage in productive in.

Cur Credit Abroad.

Chauncey M. Depew, on his return
from Europe, speaking of the effect
on our credit abroad by the action Of
the Democratic convention, said: 'The
movement has created widespread
distrust Of our credit and sense Of
financial honor. One singular effect
Of this distrust has been to give I'M
precedented prosperity and employ
ment for capital and labor in Great
Britain. Money is drug in the mar
ket. Ordinarily much of it would come
here, but silver and the fear Of our
paying our debts at so cents on the dol
lar brighten the holders. The result
is that every kind of enterprise which
has England, Scotland, Ireland, or
Wales for it's development, is easily
fioated in London"

Getting Rich In Their Minds.

The silverites who are dreaming of
great wealth to be had for everybody
through the simple process of calling
so cents a dollar should wake up long
enough to ask themselves this ques-
ton: ~
IF dollars worth oe property
means certain quantity cf labor pro-
ducts, would there be any more of
these products for the men who want
them If we say that the same amount
Of property is worth So? In other
words, does an increase ii the prices
of goods mean an increased quantity
Of goodsT
BY the time they have thought out
an answer to this question the victims
of the 10 to delusion will be able to
see that, though they might legislate
that every dollars worth of products
should be worth 100 times as much,
the only change would be IN the minds
Of the men who made the law. Dreams
Of great riches are mighty poor substi-
tutes for solid labor products.

A Plain statement.
DR.. William Preston Hill OF st. Louis
puts the question of free coinage plain
ly in the following: "Many people In
nocently imagine that the free coin
age OF silver is simply proposition
to open our mints more freely to silver
and to maintain our money at its pres
ent standard of value on the gold basis,
and that by adopting free coinage we
are not going to debase and lower the
value Of our money, but raise the price
of silver all over the world to 16 to Z
ratio with gold. There could be mo-
greater mistake. They fail to see that
1t also involves a change in our unit,
standard, or measure of value. If the
proposition was that the United States
should give gold dollar for every
371H grains Of pure silver brought to
the minis, then that would really be
an attempt on the part Of nur govern
ment to raise the price OK silver: and
how long we could raise II would de-
pend on how much silver there was
In the world and how much gold we
had"
The Worlds Stock of Gold.
Free silver organs persist In the stale
falsehood that the worlds stock of gold
money and bullion has been "cornered
by the Rothschilds" and few con-
federated banking concerns. The very
magnitude of that stock makes such an
achievement impossible. 1t was esti-
mated to amount to over $4,000, 000, 900
IN 1894, and 1t Is larger still to-day.
This sum is scattered over the entire
globe. Much Of this gold, moreover, Is
reid by government repositories and
financial institutions, and constitutes
The basis for circulation Of other cur
rcncy. For example, the supply Of gold
on July 1, 1895, was $500, 16S, 1888. OF
this amount the Federal Government
held $1O7, 512,362 and national banks
Sill PIT ,437, while private banks and
individuals owned 1857, 439, 1S9-consid-
erably more than one-half. Probably
something similar Is pretty nearly the
cnse the world over.
The Cheap Money De1usion.
Senator Sherman says: THE expert
ence of every nation in the world proves
that the cheaper money will fill the
channels of circulation and the money
of higher value will be boarded or ex-
ported. This is rule az universal as
the movement of the earth around the
sun or the flow of the tides Of the ocean.
No one will pay gold when silver one
half in commercial value can be paid
instead. What would be the inevita-
BILE result of the free coinage of silver
now, when the silver in the dollar Is
worth only 80 cents? Does any man
need to be told that it will be worth
only what it cost? BY carefully limit
ing the amount of silve- coins and
coming only on government account
we can maintain silver coins at par
with gold coins, just as we keep paper
money by promise to receive it as
money and redeem it in gold il de.
manded."

Free Silver and w.res.

There Is no worse foe to labor than
silver coinage. The cost Of living will
double in day. Wages will drop to
the 50-cent basis Of the silver-uslng
countries, Mexico, Brazil, Japan and
China. AS Mr.. w. M. WINS, Of New
York, showed In detail In recent
interview on his return from Brazil,
In the past ten years there, under a
deprecated currency, while all other
prices have risen, wages have remain
ed unchanged. This will be the re-
suit here. The laboring man who
votes for free-silver coinage will vote
away half his wages IL his vote is one
OF a majority.

Government Purchase of silver.
