SPORTS ON THE RIVER.
The Races Were Witnessed by o.
Crowd of Enthusiasts

The Minnesota Boat club held a club re-
gatta yesterday afternoon on the river course
on Raspberry island. A good crowd watched
the races, largely composed Of club mem
bers and their friends, with numerous out
side visitors among the G. A. R. The crack
band from Duluth, the Duluth City band

and at the finish of each race struck up
stirring air as the shells sped swiftly toward
the line.
contesting crews were made up entirely of
club members, the results were uncertain
and two good finishes were witnessed.
Coach John Kennedy acted as starter and
Charles Gordon as judge. The first race was
the single SOULS. William Whidden, T.
Griggs, ]. Sabn and William Bjornstad were
by tipping over as he rowed for the start
but emptied his scull and competed, never
theless Bjornstad rowed in fine form and
won easily, with Sabin three lengths back
Whidden was third and Griggs last, this
being his maiden event with the single
sculls
The four-oared race, being of three crews,
was the best of the afternoon. The crew
stroked by Ed Halbert won. They were H.
P. Bend, bow; N. P. Langford Jr., two; A.

The winners Of second place were: G; F.

Percy Houghton did not appear to take his

the crew in the winning race with Harvard

HAD A BLOODY RECORD.
The Third Iowa Has But a Few
Left.

The Third regiment of Iowa infantry
held an informal reunion at the court
mouse yesterday afternoon, in Court
Room No. l. There are about fiftv
members Of the regiment attending
the encampment and all but five or
SIX were present at the reunion, The
Third Iowa had one of the most re-
markable histories of the war; When
the first call for troops was made
lowas quota was three regiments.
The First enlisted for three months
and did not re-enlist as a regiment The
Second and Third enlisted for three
years. The Third numbered one thous-
and men to start, and about eight hum
dred additional were enlisted from
time to time to take the places Of those
VINO were killed and wounded, making
total of 1,800 men who first and last
served In the regiment. Of these only
about 225 now survive, and most of
those bear the scars of battle The
regiment was mustered into service at
keokuk, and almost from the start
was in the fight. and its history was
a continued record of fighting up to
the battle of Atlanta-the regiment
belonging to the army of the Tennes-
see. The first engagement was at
Blue Mills, Mo-, Sept. IL, 1861 This
battle does not figure very prominent
ly in history, but it was a sharp con-
f1ict, and the Third received an awful
baptism of blood. the loss being ex-
ceedingly heavy. One company, I.
which. went into the fight with forty
eight men, lost in killed just half the
number. Of those twenty-four who
survived, ten were at yesterdays re-
union After this fight there was a
constant SUCCESSION Of skirmishes and
less important engagements, up to the
battle of Shihoh,c The regiment was
in both days fights at that place and
during bothr days was constantly in
the thickest of the fight. The per
centage of loss, was the greatest of any
regiment in rthe fight, except only the
Ninth Illinois.
After Shiloh the next important en-
ga cement in which the regiment partic-
ipated was sthe battle of the .Hatchee.
and then came Vicksburg. Shortly

This was July IL. 1868, Vicksburg hav-

there occurred one of those fatal errors
of judgment which officers sometimes
display. A brigade of which the Third
was a part was ordered to storm a
line of strong earthworks, behind
which were a whole division of the
enemy. They lobeyed the order, like
the famous Light Brigade at Ba1ak-
lava, but the carnage was fearful
vastly greater than that of the Light
Brigade. In this charge at Jackson
there were 500 men who started when
the order to advance was given, and
only 300 ever came back The Third
started with $40 men, and after the
contest was over there were only 81

All the heated discussion about the
"crime of 1873" and the feeling that
men were wronged by being shut out
from the use of silver in paying in
debtedness, have a foundation only in
just to pay in silver; and that silver
now buys the same goods as formerly,
while gold has risen away from both
goods and silver. 1t is held that to be
obliged to pay in gold is to pay more
goods than is just, since gold has risen
relatively to goods, because it is scarce,
or has been "cornered"
This, of course, is matter of fact,
not of opinion. Therefore, it will be
possible to calmly examine the facts
in order to ascertain whether it is true
that silver buys today the same
amount of goods as in 1860, or 1873, or
1879. If silver has kept it's value rela-
lively to goods, it is more just to pay
in silver, but if silver has moved up
and down independently of goods,
showing great instability relatively to
goods, and if silver buys far less goods
today than formerly then it would not
be just to pay in silver. And if this
last Is true. then the act of 1873 has
not caused any wrong, and all talk
about that 'crime" is mistaken.
For this purpose 1 present a table,
dating from 1860, taken from official
articles, including all those of common
consumption. In 1860 the prices of all
these articles when added together
were taken as the basis for compari-
son in other years, and are expressed
by 100. AS the same 223 articles, in the
same quantities, sell for more or less
in other years, the difference relatively
to the total price of 1860 is expressed
in figures greater or less than 100. 1t
will be noted that the highest paper
prices were in 1865; but in the next COL
umn in which these paper prices are
reduced to their gold equivalents, the
year Of highest gold prices was 1866.
In 1859 they were as low as in 1875. The
year 1873 does not appear to be the
year from which the decline in prices
begins. The decline dates from 1866;
and 1873 is only on the slope of the
hill, not on top. If we are hunting for
the cause of the decline, in the year in
which the decline begins. then we must
logically hunt for the ''crime of 1866"
Whatever the cause Of the decline in
American prices, it did not start from
1873, but from 1866.

TWO QUERIES ANSWERED.

To the Editor Of the Globe
bet was made here yesterday about the
dollars; one party claiming American silver
dollar in Mexico would only bring one Mex
lean silver dollar, and the other party that
the American silver dollar would bring two
Mexican silver dollars. Which one is right?
Again, if hold United States silver money
either dollars or certificates. cannot they be
exchanged for gold coin if desirable? If
they cannot, what is the reason they are
kept on par with gold?
Owen Wangensteen.
Lake Park, Mimi, Aug. 81, 1896
The party who claims that the Ameri-
can silver dollar will exchange for two
Mexican silver dollars, either in the
United States or in Mexico, is right.
That is the fact Of the case, although
the Mexican dollar is a full legal ten
lar is not. The Mexican dollar contains
mere grains Of silver than the American
coin, and the vast disparity in their
exchange value represents the differ
ence between dollar issued on the
gold, and one issued on the silver basis.
The holder of American standard sill
yer dollars, or of silver certificates, can
not demand gold in exchange for them
at the United States treasury. These
forms Of money remain on a par with
gold because the government has now
standing in its laws two solemn and ex-
plicit declarations that it will maintain
the metals at a parity, and because the
number of such silver coins and certi-
ficates now in circulation is not sub
ject to further increase and is so limit
ed that the people know that the gov
eminent will be able to make good it's
promise. 1t is exactly the same case as
that Of an individual who can issue
certain number of promises to pay
and have them honored, while If he
attempted to put out an indefinite num-
more than waste paper. Under free
coinage, the number of dollars being
subject to indefinite increase, they
would circulate only at their bullion
value, whatever that might be. That
the silver dollar and the silver certifi-
cate would not circulate in this country
at an equal purchasing power with
gold on their own merits and without
regard to the gold standard is proved
by the fact stated just above, that a
similar coin in Mexico which contains
actually more silver bullion circulates
side by side with the American dollar
at only one-half of it's value.

In these same tables let us examine
more directly whether silver and goods
have varied in a like manner from
gold The column of gold prices show
how goods varied relatively to gold;
the ratios Of silver to gold shows how
silver varied relating to gold. Hence,
if silver kept with goods--that is if
the purchasing power of silver over
goods remained the same-we car cas-
lily find it out. Take representative
years, as follows;
1850. 1873. 1879. 1891.
Prices Of goods. 100 122 96.6 92.2
to gold ........ 1929 1892 1889 20.92
Ratio of silver to
Thus we find that by 1873 goods had
risen relatively to gold by % per cent,
while silver had fallen about per
cent Silver and goods had been sep
arated in 1873 by difference of 26
per cent, as compared with 1860; that
is, silver had lost rs per cent of it's
purchasing power over goods. Both
gold and silver had lost purchasing
power over goods, but silver had lost
per cent more. Goods had gone up
% per cent above gold, but silver had
fallen per cent below gold.
BY 1879 goods had fallen ga per cent.
relatively to gold, while silver had
fallen about 16 per cent. Silver and
goods were separated in 1879 by 1917
per cent, as compared with 1850; that
is, silver had lost only 1871 per cent Of
its purchasing power over goods. Gold
had gained 3.4 per cent of purchasing
power over goods by 1879; but silver
was still 1914 per cent away from
goods.
BY 1891 (the last year of prices given
by the Aldrich report goods had fallen
relatively to gold by 7.8 per cent, while
silver had fallen relatively to gold by
26 per cent. BY 1891 silver was sep
arated from goods by 1872 per cent.
Cold had gained 7.S per cent of pur-
chasing power over goods, as compared
with 1850, but silver had lost 1872 of
purchasing power over goods. What
is the net resultant of this exan1ina-
ton? From the official figures, has gold
kept nearer to goods in purchasing
power, or has silver? In the years
chosen, gold had varied in purchasing
power over goods, respectively by MI
nus %, plus ga and plus rs; while sill
yer had varied by minus Is, minus 1917
and minus 1872. Gold, therefore, has

goods in a less extreme way than sill

lions of gold have been on both sides.
both losing and gaining purchasing
power. That is, from 1860 to 1891, if
debts had been paid in gold, justice
would have been more nearly served
than If debts had been paid in silver;
for the good reason that gold provided
to debtor and creditor at the end of
the contract more nearly the same
purchasing power over goods than wars
passed when the debt was contracted.
The case for silver is still worse as
regards a just standard of payments,
If we consider the really phenomenal
and startling fall in the value of silver
which has taken place since 1890. In

The Populists are not satisfied with Lind
Ior governor and will put a candidate of
their own in the field. If this is done, and 1t
now seems probable, Lind's defeat is a fore

without the solid support of the Pops.-Roy-
