PUBLIC AND PRIVATE DEBTS
Ponder these Facts and See Where
the Country is Drifting

Mr.. Walker, Republican member OF
Congress from Massachusetts,, says the
people of the United States owe debts,
public and private, to the amount of s32, :
900, 900, 900. Now, we take Mr. Walker
as authority, because he, coming from a
New England State, and being Republi-
can, will not be accused of placing the fig
ures too high.
1t is claimed by some that the rate of
interest on this Indebtedness will average
8 per cent. per annum. But TO be entire
" safe and to be conservative, and for the
purpose of giving to the public bird s-eye
view of their condition, we will Place the
rate at 6 per cent Now, per cent on
s32, 900. 900, 900 amounts to sI,92O,

In 1892 we raised / ,62S, 464, 900 bush

would have s65l, 1856, 600 as its total

About veneers.
From Hardwood.

From Hardwood
While the finer and thinner yeneers Of
costly woods are sliced tangentially from
the side of the log, there are woods that
cannot be cut this way-no amount Of boil
ing or steaming rendering it possible to cut
them without breaking down the tissues to
such an extent as to destroy their surfaces
for polishing others, becoming dis
eolored from steaming or boiling, and being
too hard to be cut otherwise, have to be
sawed. The fne-toothed thin gauge cir
cular with Hanged center is the fayorite
for cutting all ordinary veneers thicker
than thirty to the inch: twenty to the inch
is thickness most commonly used for cabi-
net work and finishing, but much thinner
Is used in the case Of rare and costly woods,
or rare abnormal or accidental figures, as
in the case of burls. Some woods have to
be cut much thicker, being unable to bear
handling when too thin; genuine ebony,
the only fine, really jet black wood known,
and large enough to be Of any use. will
not stand saving much below one-fourth
of an inch in thickness, owing to Its ex-
IRENE brittleness or want Of cohesion, but
there are other woods that can be cut as
thin as writing paper, and still he handled
In large sheets. Other woods there are
that will Iose their fine color on exposure
to the atmosphere, especially smoky one;
these are cut only when Immediately want
ed, and are kept covered until the finishers
can put on a protective coat Of some pre-
paration.

Few Facts for Farmers to study.

The following forcible and logical DE-
d,e+;ons in regard 10 the use Of double
Standard of money are 50 plain and irrefu-
,.ble and 50 unbiased and free from any
r,oIitieal coloring that no farmer ought for
: single instant hesitate as to his duty IN
The premises. The gold advocates OF a
single standard of money assert
/. That If free coinage Of silver would
be adopted al the European nations would
dump their silver on US to have coined at
our miuts. and thus we would be flooded
with silver money.
The answer to this theory Is, that the
foreign nations have no silver to spare, but
they draw their supply largely from our
shores. America produces annually as
much silver as Europe, Asia, Atrca ana
Australia combined, the production OF
tbese countries being s4s, 900, 900 whilst
that of America is ST., 600, 900. Gus
tom house exports show that We shipped
20 Os3. 500 ounces Of silver TO Europe
from January Isl, 1896, TO June LIST,
1896. This ought to have realized 81 ~
Der ounce, but by reason of demonstration
Of silver by our country, had to be SOFA al
half It's value. Let 1t be remembered by
the monometalist that the supply OF gold
and silver coin in the world is nearly equal,
and he cannot fail to see the force of the
argument of the American blmetallist IN
favor Of the reconciliation Of the white
metal. which today, if its proper value was
restored, would greatly add to America :
wealth. If silver were remonetlzed 1t
would speedily find its level with gold val
ues. and the bug-beaf cry of the fifty
cent dollar would be relegated to the
shades of silent repOse.
2. 1t being admitted by the opponents
of free silver coinage that it would en-
nance not only the value of the white metal
but also wheat and farm products, farmers
should support free coinage for the follow
ing reasons. to wit
Because when gold and silver are treated
alike at the American mints, the value OF
the white metal will no longer be fixed on
the gold gambling dens of London and its
assistants in New York, but the American
policy of free coinage would bring gold and
silver on a parity in value, and destroy all
speculations and eornering of markets.
And, because, when the silly, weak,
cOwardly and un-American policy of the
single gold standard therefor, and when
the commercial value of the two metal:
are equali1ed, England can no longer con-
tinue the practice of buying our silver
product at fifty per cent. in gold value,
| coin it into British Indian dollars and buy
Indian wheat with silver dollars which cost
but fifty cents. This is the game practiced
BY England, to the disadvantage of oul
farmers, who have been buncoed since
1873. Why should England buy wheat
from America when she is permitted Il
thus utilize our silver at half Its value and
buy from India one dollar worth of wheat
for fifty cents. The reconciliation Of
silver would correct this fragrant wrong
done to our farmers, and reward then
once more for their honest toll and labor.
