HENRY CAvLING, a Copenhagen jour
nalist visiting this country, said to
Boston reporter: Journalism in Den
mark is decidedly different from the
American. For instance, we have on
our paper about forty editorial writer's
and five reporters, We have no need
Tor more reporters, because nothing
never happens. Why, we do not have
a murder once in ten years. So, of
course, the papers there are more de-
voted to literary articles than to
news"

THE metal glucinium, hitherto a
chemical rarity, is likely to come for
ward as q useful material, especially
in electrical work. 1t is only twice as
heavy as water, and is, therefore, even
lighter than aluminium. 1t is a good
deal less extensible than iron and has
an electric conductivity greater than
that of copper. 1t is more durable
than iron. At its present price, Sl7.s3
per pound, it is one-tenth the price of
platinum, weight for weight, and
1-106th the price, volume for volume.

SILVER AND PRICES.
Commodities Fave FALLEN Twenty Per Cent
Silver Has Reduced One-half

Commodities Fave FALLEN Twenty Per Cent
Silver Has Reduced One-half.
LII his speech at Gainesville, Ga. OF
July 23, the Hon. Hoke Smith said:
The claim, therefore, that the money
of final payment has been reduced one.
half, thereby depriving the public of d
sufficient volume, is simply groundless.
We still use gold and silver both and
have more than we ever had prior tc
the passage of the act of 1878. The
claim also that the currency has con.
tracted, thereby approaching the value
Of gold, is shown to be false by the
enormous output of gold last year. 1t
was the largest in the worlds history
and amounted to $1S1, 100000. The
worlds coinage of gold in 1898 rose to
$3.50, 1855, 900, and that of silver to
$135, $50, 900, making the largest year
ly coinage in the worlds history, with
possibly one exception. The world 3

yer, today is, by the largest statistics.
IS, 900, 900 gold and So, 435, 800, 900
silver, and it must not be forgotten that
even though the gold standard may be
in force, the silver coined furnishes
money for final redemption to relieve
the pressure upon gold, just as if it had
been coined upon free coinage plan.
The claim that gold has appreciated,
thereby depreciating the value Of prod
ucts, is based upon the theory that the
decrease in the value Of silver and in
the value Of products has been contem-
poraneous. A careful examination Of
the facts shows this not to be true The
average decrease of commodities since
1878 has been about 20 per cent. The
heaviest decline has been in the line Of
those things which the masses Of the
people buy. All these reductions in
prices are partly attributed to q lessened
cost Of production and partly to the re-
cent panic. While the commodities have
fallen 20 per cent silver has fallen so
per cent.
But to consider particular articles In
1878 corn sold for Al cents bushel; sill
yer was worth $1.31 an ounce. In 1896
corn sold for SO cents; silver was worth
67 cents an ounce. Silver had fallen 50
per cent and corn had risen rs per cent.
In 1879 wheat was worth ST. a BUSH
Ell; silver was $1.31 an ounce In 1878
wheat was $1.34 q bushel; silver was
ST.. 10 an ounce. In 1880 wheat was 90
cents; silver $1.04 In 1895 wheat was
IS cents a bushel; silver 67 cents an
ounce.
Cotton. This is the production in
which our people arc directly interested.
The claim that the value Of cotton de-
pended upon tho rise OF fall Of silver
has been shown to be without founda-
tion this year. Cotton in the last four
months has risen 30 per cent; silver 5
per cent. Prior to 1878 tho price Of cot
ton varied from to 30 cents Silver
never fell below $1.29. In 1916 cotton
sold for cents. Silver was thon 81. SO
All ounce.

RIGHTS OF PROPERTY.
The Spirit of Free Coinage Is Essentially
Socialistic In It's Tendencies.


Socialistic In It's Tendencies.
1t cannot be denied that the spirit of
much Of the free coinage literature is
distinctly opposed to those rights Of
property which arc at the bottom Of our
whole social system. 1t is not needfu,
to dwell on the fact that human prog.
ress is only possible when the producers
Of wealth are protected in the posses
sion of all they create. The examples Of
those countries where property is inse-
cure is sufficient proof that the enjoy.
ment of property is tho first requisite Of
civilization.
Various schools of agitators, such as
the socialists, communists and anarch-
lists, are seeking to abolish the institu-
ton of private property. In the cheap
money agitation which is sweeping over
tho country we find the essential ideas
Of the socialists, etc., in another form.
There are in this country large num-
Der of people who have saved little
money, which they have loaned out to
others. The advocates of free silver
boldly claim that the result Of the adop-
tiOH VI tlelr uiOHey sCucIuo WOulu 10 W
take from all creditors one-half of their
property by enabling debtors to repay
their loans with dollars worth half as
much as Of those borrowed. This is
nothing less than proposition to take
the property Of those who have saved
money and invested it, and to give it to
those who have borrowed, Or, in other
words, the confiscation by law Of one
half Of all the loans Of the country.
When the farmer and workingmen I'M.
derstand that this is tho real object Of
the free coinage agitation, will they
continue to favor the attack on private
property?
