SIMPLE SUMS FoR slLvERIrEs.
Problems which Can Easily Be Figured
Out by Voters.


Out by Voters.
A farmer raises 1000 bushels of
wheat. for which he now gets $500.
With that money ne buys various kinds
of manufactured goods at low prices
With free coinage at 16 to 1 he might
get 81, 900 for his wheat, but would
certainly have to pay nearly twice as
much for the goods he would buy. How
much would the farmer gain from a
cheap money scheme which doubled the
price of the things he gets in exchange
for his wheat?
The Sherman silver law of 1880 pro-
vided for the purchase by government
of 81, 600, 0o0 ounces of silver per year.
Under the operation of that law the
price of silver, after a short speculative
rise, fell steadily from 81. 16 to IS cents
per ounce. If the purchase and storage
of practically the entire American pro-
duction 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 return
ing them to the owners of the bullion
will double the price of all the silver in
the world?
A workingman who depends for his
44f611uOOQ Ou l1S 5Sa1C VI Ills 4dDOT ~ du
employer is now paid 50 per day in
currency based on the gold standard and
kept on parity with gold by our laws.
This 81 will buy a relatively large guam
tity of necessities. If this country adopts
free coinage and gees on to silver basis,
So will buy only one-half as much of
the goods TIE workingman needs Show
how labor would be benefited by pol
icy which would cut the purchasing
power of wages in two.
An investor having money to lend
was approached by farmer who want
ed loan for the purpose of buying new
implements, additional stock and some
fertilizers. IF you will let me have
$500 on the security of my land and
buildings, y said the farmer, "I will
vote for free silver law which will en-
able me to pay you back next year in
dollars worth just half of those you
lend me. State how much money that
investor loaned the farmer, also the
rate of interest paid.

ust to transport 10000 reinforce

number of heavy guns to Cuba. The
best way to settle the Cuban ques-

received with much enthusiasm.
When Senator Thurston finished,

style. Among other things he said
that protection and reciprocity must

Raining hay from clear sky is
something new, but that is what
happened in Elizabeth, N. j., last
week Wednesday. The hay COM
menced to fall at 2 80 O'Clock and
lasted several minutes, completely
covering the ground and roofs of
buildings for a space of two blocks.
1t came down end first with consid-
cradle force and was so thick that
objects a short distance were hardly
discernible. When it ceased people
gathered up bundles of the hay, one
man gathering about 300 pounds
which he says is as nice and fresh as
though just hauled from the field.
1t is thought that during the, cyclone
of the Sunday before a stack of hay
was taken up in the air and after
being carried about was dropped in
Elizabeth.

treasury gold reserve. No details Of
the proposed plan were obtainable,
but the popular impression in the
street Is that pool for the sale Of CO.
day bills will be ormed. This is mere
conjecture, however. At all events
the practically joint action Of the New
York banks and Of the gold exporting
houses Is regarded as Of the first i'm
portance and is expected to cause de-
cided change for the better in the
situation. BY September the first
grain and cotton bills will be In the
market to a sufficient extent to
exert an important favorable In.
fuence on the market In the last
hour Of business 1t became known that
the banks, in pursuance Of their agree
ment, were turning substantial
amounts Of gold into the sub-treasury.
The effect Of the news and Of the
agreement reached between the gold
shipment houses was to impart decided
buoyancy to the stock market and
prices closed at the top figures Of the
day. The exact amount Of gold turned
into Che sub-treasury by the banks in
exchange for legal tender notes yester-
day was 81, $780, 900.
