Farmers Whose Farm. Are Prosperous.

There arc great many prosperous
farmers Today in spite Of low prices.
They are farming farmers. There are
others who do not prosper. They are
largely the political farmers. The reason
is this: The successful farming farmers
have been studying the most economical
methods of production, the most profit
able varieties of farm products and the
changing opportunities offered 10y the
market. while the political farmers have
studied "Coin's Financial School, and
tho question how free coinage would
give them double prices for what they
would have raised IL their financial
studies had not absorbed so much OF
their time and attention. Candid reflec-
tion will convince them that the remedy
urged by the FREQ coinage men, being
based upon a false diagnosis, will not
only cure but immensely aggravate the
trouble complained of. IL is case OF
jumping FROM the frying pan into the
fire Carl Schurz

LIGHT ON SILVER.

A little light on the silver question is
Afforded by u modest exhibition in The
NEWS office window.
There, suitably framed, Is tho piclu
of fair maiden of the Gree type. sump.
tuous OF personal charms. fascinating
and benevolent OF expression. From a
cornucopia, money, silver money, is pour
ing in stream that 10 all beginning
and no ending, ss Ii should be. The pic
ture is an allegory and 1t is entitled, as
the caption shows, "Free Silver, as its
advocates would have us believe 1t will
be-"
But suddenly, zip the picture changes.
Light is thrown upon it and through 1t
like an X ray. In place of the fair
maiden, a dreadful skeleton appears. 1t
is fearful looking little thing but 1t
will do no harm, because it Is only
picture. But ii Is full OF suggestion and
so may do good. rhe skeleton holds a
scroll on which you may reads "Wo pay
our debts in 80 cents on the dollar and
make 1t legal" and under this picture
is the caption, "Frss Silver as it really
is; Reputation of debts; national dis
honor.
Inc maiden and the skeleton divide the
time in the little screen. The picture is
taken from a little book called Screen
backs" which we told about the other
day. The X-ray effect is worked by an
electric contrivance constructed for The
NEWS by some Of the bright young men
of the Nsrrsgansett EIsctric Lighting
Company. The picture makes its shift
for the benefit of the public, from maid
en- to skeleton, just four time each
minute.
We call IT "the RoENTeEN Ray on Sill
YER" beca use you can see through that
fair and bountifnl maiden as easily as
you can Gee through the beautifully APP
pearing scneme OF BILLY BRYAN and the
silver conspirators.

nestle Experiences Show What Living
Would Cost Us II We Had Free Coinage
Of Silver.
Pirates on tho high seas could hardly
be more dangerous menace to COM
merce between nations than this fiuotu-
alton Of exchange between countries on
different standards. Outside of few
money changers at coast ports, business
men Of the States hardly notice from
week to week the variations in exchange
between their country and Europe. But
in the business relations between the
United States and Mexico the changing
difference between the standards is
matter Of hourly concern.
whats exchange todayp" goes with
every mornings salutation between
merchants in Monterey.
"Silvar's up" or ''silver's down." is
the commercial news Of first Importance.
The shrewd representatives Of a San
Antonio (Tex. jobbing house on his
way back to the States from his mid
summer round of the cities Of Mexico
said:
Here's variation of 8 cents be-
tween the gold standard Of the States
and the silver standard of Mexico within
two weeks. How Is man going to sell
goods or do any business between the
countries when he has got to make al
lowances for such fluctuations. When l
sell bill Of goods to Mexican mer-
chant ON six months time I've got to
figure the prices high enough to save my
house in the event that silver drops by
one of those violent fluctuations before
the day Of settlement comes. The mer-
chant has got to mark the retail prices
on q margin sufficient to protect him
against possible change. And so Ameri-
can goods must be sold In Mexico at two
margins above Legitimate profits in or
der to protect the American jobber and
the Mexican storekeeper against these
rapid up and down movements OF the
standards The condition Is simply rum
ous to trade. People will not buy when
prices are raised on them. Ny house
may make tremendous profit or barely
save itself in sale of goods on six
months time. That isn't the way to do
business. You might as well have @

these fluctuations. And this Is what we
will have on vastly greater scale if the
United States goes to silver standard
and Great Britain and the European ma
tions continue the gold standard. know
what this thing of two standards means
between Mexico and the States, and
don't want to SEQ 1t in our trade with
Great Britain and Europe"
Monterey is perhaps the most Ameri-
canized of Mexican cities. 1t has added
q lunch counter to its other American
institutions The traveller can sit on
stool and appease his hunger in as short
order as he does in the States. Herewith
is given tho price list that those familiar
with the quick meal restaurants OF the

comparison between sandwiches on

Try our hot cakes and honey, 10 cents;
