silver, but of fiat paper money. When
he went into this business it was as
an advocate of free coinage of silver.
Now he tells us that the banks owe the
people more than three times as much
as the entire volume of money in the
country. and that, IF all the silver in
the world were dumped on our shores,
there would not be enough money to
do the business of the nation" That
means, of course that the silver ques-
ton has become of trif1ing Importance.
If all the silver in the world would
not transact the business of this coun-
try alone, then, of course, we must
have still more money, and we must
make 1t in billions and billions, out of
copper or iron or rags, or anything that
comes first to hand. Mr.. Harvey is
like all the rest of them. Beginning,
we are willing to concede, with desire
to be fair and with honest convictions,
the ravages of the microbe, whose work
it is to so degenerate a clear mind as
to make it believe that legislation can
perform miracles, end in an appeal to
unlimited fiatism, to base passion, to the
predatory instinct, to all that is worst
and most ignoble in human nature.
Harvey's speeches are worth reading
as an exhibition of degeneracy. In this
they are a type of the penalty that ad-
vocacy of free coinage imposes upon
those whom it afflicts.

A RoORBACK.

Silly beyond expression, and just about
what might be expected of the New
York Journal Is its fairy tale about
gigantic combine formed in the North
west to force up the price of wheat.
1t is on a par with the feather-headed
reports that emanate daily from the
centers of sensational journalism, and
that find gaping believers among the
sort of people who think that congress
can by law make 16 equal to 3d. The
G o b gives interviews in another col
umn with Mr.. Hill and others that eff
fectually dispose of this foolish roor-
back
One has but to consult the files of the
G | o b e to see that the rise in wheat
was foretold weeks and months ago by
all those who were in the least familiar
with the conditions that govern the
market The certainty of short crop
throughout the world and the reduction
of our own surplus made an advance
certainty And all this was put be-
fore the farmer as clearly and plainly.
and positively as words could do 1t.
There does not have to be any corner
in wheat to produce the prices that are
accounted for by the market conditions
in all the civilized countries of the
world. Nor is there any delay in get
ting wheat to market in the Northwest,
except that which arises from the diff
fculty of securing funds to move the
crop, owing to the free silver agitation
All whose opinion is worth anything
are also agreed that the moment this
is settled by the defeat Of Mr.. Bryan,
the price of wheat will show a further
increase of from to 10 cents per
bushel
The truth Of it is that the gentlemen
who are running the free silver cam
paign are blessed with the liveliest
CT imaginations, and are not troubled
by any particular care for facts. They
have circulated forged documents. They
are engaged at this moment in dis
seminating falsehoods among the Ia
boring people Of this country. And
most Of all do they need something to
break the force of the rise in wheat
prices that has caused the collapse of
their favorite argument about the cor
respondence between the price of
wheat and that of silver. Nothing has
hurt them, nothing has made them so
ridiculous as this activity in the mar
ket. They are, therefore, bent on find
ing some artificial cause for It, Mr..
kansas and Florida, prudently omit
ting to explain where the effect of
Maine and Vermont came in The New
York Journal says it is a corner"
and one is just as trustworthy as the
other. The only remaining reliance

The first Thought of the average
American who read the account yes
terday of tha threatening situation of
affairs for a few moments at Havana
was that it was a great pity that Gen.
Weyler did not order the guns of Moro
castle to open fire upon the American
vessel which had refused to surrender
a passenger to the Spanish soldiery.
War is not az thing to be desired; but,
after all, it would have been an i'm
mense relief TO have had given to us
sufficient justification for interfering in
the Cuban affair and putting an end
to the long and fruitless struggle to
suppress the patriotic movement.
The sympathies Of the entire
natlon are on the side of the
Cuban people. Long ago, had
1t not been for the restraints of
neutrality in the obligations that bind
nation to nation, we should have or
dered Spain to let her prisoner go free.
Ii we had the slightest valid excuse for
taking a different position, there is no
doubt that we would hasten to avail
ourselves of it. Had but a single shot
been aimed at the Vigilancia, the naval
forces of the United States would by
this time have been in motion toward
Havana, and Cuban liberty would be
assured. The cost of 1t, 1t is true, would
have been an open rupture between
this is something whose consequences
we should have no particular need to
dread, and most of us would contem-
plate them with greater equanimity
cruelties that mark Spanish rule in
Cuba.
With great satisfaction our people
witness the successful assertion of the
power and right of this government
by our representative at Havana, and
the sullen yielding to courage and de-
termination by the miserable butcher
who is in command of the forces Of
Spain. 1t is a good thing to have es-
capped a war, showever remote it's seat
might be, and however inferior the
forces with which we would have to
contend. StilE after all is said, there
is a lingering regret that the Spanish
cannon did not belch forth Challenge
to which the United States might have
answered with a declaration that, from
that moment, Cuba must and should be

ed with revolvers to compel purchases
by country merchants would adopt in
spirit, If not in manner. the reciprocity
of Mr.. Blaine, now the foster-reciproc-
ity Of Mr.. Mckinley. The true, Demo-
cratic reciprocity would seek interna-
tional trade as the domestic trades
man seeks it, by removing any barrier,
cultivating friendly relations, estab-
fishing mutual relations and benefits.
This is real reciprocity, the other brand
is a sham, and. of course. failure.
Another "stale fiction,' in which our
esteemed contemporary INDUCES itself
in these days of campaign stress, is
that our trade with the South Amerf-
can countries under the sham reciproc-
ity of 1890, If restored, would increase
our exports to them. Noting the re-
mark of some one that England has al
most everything worth having" in
South American trade, It says 1--WE
took $7S,000, 900 worth of products from
Brazil alone in 1895 and sold that coun-
and also that under Republican rec
iprocity arrangements, we were do
ing very much better" We have hunt
ed down this "stale fiction" before,
but it seems to have a vitality that
bears killing as many times as a cat,
and, in the interests of accurate in
fry nd 0f+ odt mol
paign, we proceed to kill it once more.
The statistician of the treasury has
recently issued statement of the COM
merce of this country with foreign
nations from 1851 to 1895, including the
trade under reciprocity agreements of
1890, which gives the imports and ex-
ports from various nations to Brazil
as well as our own. From this anthem
tic source we obtain the killing facts.
We present first the figures showing
our own trade with Brazil for the fis-
cal years 1890 to 1895. The arrange
ment with Brazil went into effect
April 1, 1891, and expired Aug. 20, 1894.
This gives us the trade for a year be-
fore and after for comparison. 1t will
be noted that our exports made no ma
terial gain, in fact, were greater the
year following the repeal, while our
imports, after the effect Of the first
stimulus was exhausted, fell back to
about their normal amount. The fol-
lowing is the table:

ANOTHER "sTALE FICTION.

When Mr.. Blaine was urging his rec
iprocity scheme on the reluctant and
averse committee of the house of which
Mr.. Mckinley was chairman, he re-
ferred to the excess of our imports
from Cuba, as showing that we had
dropped $40,000.000' into that island.
This was his way of expressing the
economic maxim of his party that an
excess of imports by any nation is a
dead loss to it, and that the only way
a nation can prosper in its trade with
other nations is to sell them more than
it buys Of them. The prevalence of
hold it have not got beyond the kinder
garten stage in political economy, was
the motive for the reciprocity treaties
and is the motive for the demand for
their restoration. The idea is imper-
vious to the facts, both of the trade OF
other nations and of our own, whether
under reciprocal treaties or not.
Democratic objection to the Blaine
reciprocity. was not because of oppo-
sition to reciprocal trade, for free trade
is nothing but that, but it was to the
absurd attempt to get trade with bIud-
geons. All trade is based on mutual
desire and is essentially friendly in
its nature. The meeting of minds, the
common assent. the belief in a mutual
ity of benefits, are the elements. of ex-
change. whether between tradesmen Of
the same or OF different countries. The

Gal travellers out into the country arm

that the English kind of reciprocity,

The game of base ball played at Sank

ed in defeat of the Browerville bows by
a score of 4 to S. It required eleven
innings to decide the game. It was an
exciting contest from beginning to end

being born and raised there. The bat
terry consisted of two brothers, Lew and

errorless game. They had won the
game Tuesday in the ninth inning, but
Frank Drill was put out while hunting
for home plate, which was so obscure
thar it was difficult to find. Had the
plate been in plain sight the game would
had ended with score of 8 to 4 in fav-
