Free silver Doctors Disagree.

Presidential Candidate w. j. Bryan
declared in his speech in New York
City: Il am firmly convinced that by
opening our minis to free and unlim-
tied coinage at the present ratio Q6
TO u We can create demand for sill
YER which will keep the price of Silver
bullion at S1.29 per ounce, measured in
gold"
Judge w. S. Mccain, of Little Rock,
a free silver leader in Arkansas, differs
from Mr.. Bryan in his Interpretation OF
the Popocratic platform. II am some
times asked" he says, IF believe the
reconciliation of silver would increase
its value so as to make the bullion in
q silver dollar equal to the present gold
dollar. | answer no. If thought so, |
would not waste time advocating the
restoration of the unlimited coinage of
silver. The sole object of remonetizing
silver, as | understand it, is to secure
a cheaper dollar with which to measure
and regulate prices
Here are two eminent financial doc
tors who agree in prescribing big doses
of 16 to l pills, but widely disagree as
to the results of the medicine. When
the leaders of the free coinage agita-
ton differ as TO the effects of their
scheme, how can they expect the peo-
pie to believe that they know what
they are talking about?

England had a misunderstanding
with the sultan of Zanzibar, Said Kah-
lid. last week, and her warships shelled
that monarch's palace. 1t was set on
fire and destroyed. The sultan was
routed, of course, and England is in
practical possession of the island.
Zanzibar lies in the Indian ocean, off
the coast of British East Africa, and Is,
together with the island of Pemba, an
English protectorate. Zanzibar has an
area of 625 square miles, with an esti-
mated population of $4,000. The in
habitants are nearly all Mohamme-
dams. The exports, including those
from the mainland, are valued at S4,-
100000. Under an arrangement with
England, a regular government has
been formed, composed of four En-
glishmen and two Zanzibari The ter
ritories held by the sultan on the main
land were part sold to Germany and
part leased to the British East Africa
company for fifty years.

In a Nutshell.

Let us al be thankful that the finar-
cial question has at last been finally
settled.
1t is so easy that anybody might have
done it,
All that is needed is that the govern
ment of the United States shall agree
to pay $1.29 to any one who will bring
II so cents worth of silver.
If this is done. our financial troubles
will Immediately disappear. Prices
will advance. Wages will go up. Every
body will have plenty of money. We
shall have at once the only perfect
financial monetary system known in
history.
The age of miracles is not past

An Immutahle Law Of Trade.

1t is not merely the women who like
to buy things cheaply. No one cares
to pay anything more for an article
than he can help. Men who work for
wages or on salaries naturally desire
that their income should go as far as
possible in the satisfaction of their
wants. Farmers. too, in behalf of
whom the plea for high prices is most
frequently made, are not overload of
paying high prices for the things they
buy. And they are buyers as well rs
sellers. The whole tendency of civil
cation is toward lower prices and high
er wages.

Plants Growing Under the Microsc ape
This is something that we read of in
most books on the microscope, and al
though it is not by any means true
plant growth, it is very curious and
beautiful. Procure a little Collomia
seed, which may be had from seed
men. Take one of the seeds and with
razor or very sharp knife cut off a
very thin slice Lay this slice on
slip of glass Gan ordinary slide), cover
1t with thin glass cover, and, the
microscope being in a vertical posi-
ton, lay 1t on the stage. If you wish
to incline the microscope you must
use a square glass cover and not a
round one, and hold the cover to it's
place by means of a very fine rub
Der ring. Now, bring the thin slice of
seed into focus and then apply a drop
of water to the edge of the glass. The
water will penetrate between the
glasses and molsten the seed, which
will at once throw out very large
number of spiral flbres, giving It the
appearance of veritable termination.
Beginners will find il easier to perform
this experiment IL one will apply the
water while the other looks through
the instrument. A single drop is
enough.

An English paper says: The large
expenditures of the Spanish govern
ment upon warsbips is attracting a
good deal of attention. The marine de-
partment has given out contract for
two torpedo boat destroyers at a price
equivalent to some 100000 dearer than
the tender of one of the leading firms
in this class of naval construction in
Great Britain on the plea of quicker
delivery. 1t is also publicly lated,
and repeated in the press without con-
tradiction on the part Of the govern
ment organs, that the minister of ma
rine has purchased from firm of ship
builders in Genoa two cruisers of under
1000 tons displacement, with a speed
of twenty miles, for the enormous sum
of 100000 pesetas, representing at
the exchange of the day over 100000
sterling for each vessel. Nothing short
of panic can explain such prodigal ex-
penditure of public money.

Even IL it were true that free coinage
at 16 to l would raise the price OF sill
yer, how would that benefit the great
majority of the American people? Not
one person in thousand owns a silver
mine or has silver bullion for which he
wants higher price. But everybody
wants to buy silver in the form of man.
ufactured articles of use or ornament,
and therefore wants it to be as cheap
as possible. A scheme for making glass
ware or hardware dearer would not re-
ceive much favor from the consumers
of those goods. Is 1t at all likely that
the consumers of silver manufactures
are anxious to pay more for them?

Mr.. Bryan says railroad rates have
not been reduced to keep pace with
falling prices. In 1872 it cost 1915 cents
to take a bushel of wheat from Chi
cago to the seaboard by rail. and in
1895 it cost 1917 cents. Even Mr.. Bryan
will not assert that average prices are
less than half and only little more
than third of what they were in 1872

Webster on Money and wage Farmers.


The very man, of all others, who

rency and who suffers most by mis-
chevous legislation in money matters
is the man who earns his daily bread
by his daily toll His prop
erty is in his hands His reliance, his
fund. his reproductive freehold. his all,
Is his labor. Whether he work on his
own small capital or anothers, his liv-
ing is still earned by his industry, and
when the money of the country be-
comes deprecated and debased, wheth-
err it be adulterated coin or paper
without credit, that industry is robbed
Of it's reward. He then labors for a
country whose laws cheat him out OF
his bread. | would say to every owner
OF every quarter section Of land in the
west, / would say TO every man in the
east who follows his own pillow, and
to every mechanic, artisan and laborer
