The River Falls times. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1894-1933, 1896-09-22

Did you ever think, my farmer
friend, that 10 per cent interest
today measured by the price of 40
cent wheat, for it takes q bushels
to buy dollar, and that it would
take 25 bushels TO buy $40 dollars
to pay the interest at 10 per cent
on 500 for one year?
Wheat was worth 81 per busheI
in gold coin in 1878, hence 10
bushels of wheat would pay the
interest upon 800 dollars for
year-so that valued by the price
of your wheat at 40 cents per
bushel which is 2 cents per bushel
more than the average price your
wheat sold for in 1895 III this
state, you today pay in your wheat
values % per cent instead of 10
per cent. So, my friends, it is
easy to see why we are losing our
financial grip, and why the ma
jority of the bankers are anxious
to have the present gold standard
main tanned and are SO opposed to
the free coinage of silver at the
ratio Of Is to / of gold.
If you desire to get fair living
price for your grain the only way
open to you is to vote for the
party that is pledged to open the
minis to the free coinage of sill
yer at the ratio of Is to 1 of gold.
God only helps those who help
themselves. Always remember
that banker is not producer of
wealth-hence it is a safe rule for
farmer to follow, to vote against
the policy advocated by class Of
men whose business is to main
tain such financial conditions as
compel farmers to borrow money
from them at high rate Of inter
est. Let our battle cry be Down
with the single gold standard and
all who advocate it -

Mr.. Walter Muir, the Well Known Oak
Otan Says OF Those Mexican Dollars.

Mr.. Walter Muir, of Hunter,
n. D., has written the following
concerning Those Mexican Dol
lars;'
The eastern national bankers
are expressing to our state banks
that are working for the present
gold standard-M Mexican silver
dollars, and where they can get
dealers to sell them for SO cents of
our gold standard money, they
are doing it-provided the pur-
chaser will buy so cents worth
of other goods. The object. the
bankers have in selling those
Mexican dollars is to teach the I'M
thin king an object lesson in the
value of money--and they taunt-
ingly ask them If they want our
money to be as poor and cheap as
the money of our sister republic.
In 1873 the Mexican silver dol
lar was worth in the United States
and any where In the world 3 to 4
cents more than ourgold dollar
but of course our gold standard
advocates never mention this fact,
nor do any attempt to explain the
reason why our silver dollar which
is practically based upon our stan
dard gold dollar is worth nearly
double in purchasing power to
what 1t was in 1873.
In '73 the Mexican silver dollar
and the American silver dollar
were about equal in value. The
Mexican silver dollar still is the
same in weight and fneness and
remains the standard of value in
Mexico.
Hence, when wheat is selling at
go cents per bushe in the United
States, on the Mexican side of the
Rio Grande, the Mexican far mer
receives $1,2O per bushel for his
wheat in money as good as our
money was in 1873 money that
will pay any debt public or p j.
vate. OF course our gold bug
bankers in their efforts to mis- lead
our people will not make this ex
PLANTATION for that would not be
german with the object they have
in view-which is to mislead the
people to vote for our 2O0-cent
dollar and be content to take 40
cents a bushel for the best wheat
in the world.

Ground MoIes in Sugar Beet Cultivation

When farmers take upon them.
selves the destruction of ground
moles, they little realize that they
are working against their own
interest. The animals live entir-
ely upon insects and can devour
in twenty-four hours several times
their own weight, leaving all veg
etable matter alone. If the sur
face of the soil shows indication OF
their presence, it may be declared
in advance that they have found
on their passage through the sub
strata the requisite food for their
maintenance, which in the case of
beet cultivation generally means
white worms. These would have
subsequently come to the surface
and partially destroyed crop OF
beets. That rows of roots have
suffered from ground moies is lnslg
nifcant in comparison with acres
of beets that would have been
victims Of insect ravages. 1T
frequently happens that the tiller
prides hin self upon the success Of
his beet crop, while his neigh boz,
suggests the Sugar Beet (journaD,
has been less fortunate when the
real cause may have beer that in
the latter case the ground moles
have been destroyed and IN the
former they were left to them
selves.

A Suggestion.

London, Sept. 16.-The St.
James Gazette this afternoon pub
fishes a leading editorial article
headed, "A New Triple Alliance. ;
In the course Of its remarks on
the subject, the St. James Gazette
points out the menac-ng tone OF
the continental semi-oti. cial press
on the subject of Turkey and says !:
owe are openly threatened with
Joint hostile European action If
we interfere On Turkey against
the will of the powers. But,
there is one combination which
British craftsmanship might af-
feet. Two states which have
little to gain from Russia could
act with us and the tension. The
United States and Italy are both
understood to he friendly to Rus
STA. Nevertheless, neither is yet
too deeply involved to be able to
assume an independent attitude
under British inspiration. Why
should not England, the United
States and Italy form new drei-
bund. Alone of the nations of
n
the earth, the people Of the United
States can understand the impulse
which would drive Englishmen to
war in order to suppress tyranny
or rescue the oppressed. Plenty
of Americans would regard with
enthusiasm the spectacle of The
Union Jack and the Stars and
stripes floating side hy side in the
Bosphorus to back up their joint
demand"
Continuing, the ST. James Gaz-
cite points out that italy is ready
to join England in this matter if
invited. The article concludes !:
1T might be expected that the
Russian cabinet would 60 to
pieces at the mere aspect of this
genuine league of peace, and that
the new drelbund might lead to a
fresh grouping Of che powers and
the delivery OF Europe, both from
Turkish misrule and the danger
Gus thraldom to Russia into which
it is sinking .-Evening Telegram.

JULIEN D. HAyNE ON TRIAL
CASE RESUMED IN THE DISTRICT
COURT THIS MORNING..
The Various Witnesses Examined and
what They Testified To-The Pros
ecution has Concluded.

In the District Court before
Judge de la Vergne this morning
the trial of Julien ID. Hayne on
Che charge of being a public nui-
sance was taken up again. AT the
previous hearing the foreman Of
the Hawaiian Gazette Company
was the principal witness and his
testimony referred to the receipt
of the manuscript and its being
put in type.
w. j. Forbes was the first wit
ness this morning. He was
handed copy of the December
January number of the magazine
and testified: l have seen this
book before. l first saw it at the
Golden Rule Bazaar on the 18th of
March this year. l wrote my
name on page 5 of the book. 1
bought it at Mr.. Reynolds on
Fort street. Hayne was not
there. L did not notice where
the book was published. w.
o. Smith gave me the money
to purchase the book.
1 don't know that it is printed
in Honolulu. l have not been in
the business Office of the Hawaii
an. L can't say of my personal
knowledge that defendant has
printed and published this book
in Honolulu.
Jas. B. Castle, sworn: L am di-
rector of the Hawaiian Gazette
Company, L saw and read two or
three pages that formed part of
that issue on morning of Decem-
Der l, 1895. Their character was
such that L would not allow the
stuff to go out of; the Office. Was
afraid of proceedings being taken
against the company. Procured
the destruction of the issue. On
cross examination Mr.. Castle said
the edition was printed but not
published or circulated. l retain
ed one copy which L handed to e.
P. Dole. L had what was con-
strued. to be contract with Hayne.
1t was written out for the use of
my lawyer. Am quite sure none of
the copies were circulated in Homo
lulu. The article Fin de Steele Re-
public" was printed in that issue.
The magazine identified by w.
j. Forbes was offered in evidence.
George III. Paris identified a
letter he wrote to Hayne concern
ing the contract.
The defendants attorneys admit.
ted that Haynes place of business
was on Fort street.
The prosecution then rested its
case and argument began on the
motion of defendants counsel to
dismis the case, claiming that no
publication had been made in
this city, and that the words COM
planned of were not such as would
bring the defendant within the
definition of "a common nuisance"
within the meaning of the law.
e. p. Dole and l.. A. Dickey
represent the Government, and
Messrs. Neumann, Creighton and
Davis the defense. The argument
was still going on when the Bull
LETIN went to press.

The Naval Dry Dock ut the Brooklyn
Navy Yard Injured.
Washington. August 10-All of the de
tails of the accident sustained by the big
Simpson timber dry dock at the Brooklyn
navy yard last Sunday night, which have
reached the Navy Department. were
contained in the following telegram re-
ceved by Acting Secretary McAdoo from
the commandant of the navy yard, Com
modore Sicard, dated yesterday:
cat o'clock last evening the caisson
of dry dock No . slipped from its groove
and instantly filled. The casson capsized
and sunk The Ericcson's bow was badly
stove in; otherwise apparently uniniured.
The commandment barge was badly in
jured. The dock was injured. Appa-
rently no further serious damage. Now
examining by divers and attempting to
right the caisson. Further information
will be mailed
1t is apparent from the above meagre
account that the damage done by the dis
placement of the casson, which forms
the gate to the dry dock, was considera-
bic and it is feared that, aside from the
injury sustained by the unfortunate tor
pedo boat Ericsson, which has already
been the victim of an alt gether unprece-
dented series of accidents, and that, too,
the loss of the use of the dry dock for the
time necessary to make repairs will be
severely felt. Fortunately all of the yes
sells of the North Atlantic squadron very
recently have been locked and cleaned
and painted in order to put them in CON
dition for the evolutions now going on,
so there will be no Immediate necessity
for the dock, but if any if the larger YES.
sells of Admiral Bunce's squadron require
overhauling before fall they will probably
will have to be sent to Port Royal, s. c.,
for docking. 1t is supposed that Com
mandant Sicard has already appointed a
board to ascertain the facts of the acct
dent, and it is probable that this will be
| followed by court of inquiry appointed
by the Navy Department. The dock was
| under repairs at the time Of the accident,
having large amount of damaged con
crete in the bottom of the casson re-
placed, but just which branch of the ser
vice had the work in hand at the time of
the capsize is not known here.
