To the warning of the true bimetal-
lists that free silver coinage at 16 to
by this government alone would drive
gold out of use as money and so cause
a disastrous contraction shallow critics
sneeringly ask, Where would the gold
go tor
1t would go where it went during the
war time-either abroad or into hiding
or into vaults as commodity for spec
ulative gambling.
1t would 60 where gold has gone in
every free coinage country in the world
out of sight and out of use either as
currency or as the reserve for banks.
Gold is now in general use as currency
in the Pacific states. 1t is held by the
government and by banks in all parts Of
the country as reserve to sustain the
circulation of greenbacks and treasury
notes and to maintain the bank credits.
1t serves perfectly its function as money.
When it goes to premium, it will no
longer do this.

FARM PRODUCTS.


Prices Have Fallen Because OF Increased
Production IN All Parts of the World.
Q. il it true that the price of wheat
and many other farm products has fallen
heavily? A. 1t is.
q. How are sach declines, in wheat,
for instance, to be explained? A, By
the enormously rapid increase in grain
growing area throughout the world.
Q, Has this increase been especially
rapid since 1879? A. The increase in
grain growing area i'll this period, espe-
cially in North America, South America
and Asia, has never been approached in
any equal period in the history of the
world.
O. How do we judge of actual COM
petition i'll the sale of wheat? A. By
the supplies thrown annually on the
worlds great distributing markets.
q. What market in particular? A.
England, where most Of the buying
nations go to purchase their grain.
C. What are the figures? A. AS re-
Gently as 1880 Great Britain imported,
for consumption and re-export, 5,261,-
924 hundredweight of wheat-a large
increase over the preceding annual aver
age. In 1895 it imported 81, 749, 900
hundredweight.
@. What has made possible this re-
markable increase in wheat production?
A. The exceedingly rapid development
Of transportation facilities in newly cul-
tivated grain countries; among them
India, Russia and the Argentine Re-
public.
Q. Has there been all increase in the
United States itself? A. An enormous
increase.
@. How large? A. In 1875 there
were 26,3S1, 512 acres Of wheat cult
waited in this country; in 1891 there
were 80, GIG, S97, an increase of SO per
cent. The yield in 1875 was 292, 1856, :
600 bushels, heavy increase over pre-
ceding years. In 1891 the yield was
Gil, 100000. Even last year, with a
greatly reduced acreage and partial
crop failure, the yield was 467, 100, 900
bushels.
@. Has the yield of other crops in
creased correspondingly A. 1t has
@. Give instances. A. The cultivated
area of corn i'll the United States in
1871 was 34,091, 1877 acres; in 1891 it
was 76, 1904, 515; increase, 1874 per cent.
The yield of corn last year was more
than double that of any year prior to
1875. Both the acreage and the average
annual yield Of oats have doubled since
1871. Our cotton crop in 1894 was so
per cent greater than i'll any year prior
to 1887
Q. Was decline in grain and cotton
prices under such conditions inevitable?
A. As inevitable as decline in the
price Of clothing or furniture or books
or steel rails or pins when competition
in their manufacture has extended enor-
mously.
@. Would free coinage help the pro-
ducers Of grain to a large profit under
such conditions? A. Not in the least.
@. Why not? A. Because if the NOM
inal price of grain wero to rise through
initiation Of the currency the price of
everything else would rise also, and the
farmer would be relatively no better off
than he was before. New York Even

THE STREETS OF NORTH wALpoLE. ,
They Are to be Concerted $4,000 Approprl.
ated Tuesday Evening.

At village meeting held in North Wal
pole in St. Peters hall on Tuesday even
ing, it was voted to appropriate $4,000 for
concreting the principal streets in the vii
lage. The $1,000 voted at former meet
ing was thought to have been illegally APP
proprated because of an irregularity in the
warrant, detection in the resolution as
adopted, and because North Walpole had
never been organized in accordance with
chapter SO Of the public statutes.
The first business Tuesday evening was
to organize Under this statute. John Has
set was chosen moderator, William Cor
bett clerk, w. H. Kiniry, James Hayes
and P. E. Healy fire commissioners, P. E.
Griffin treasurer.
1t was voted to pave all the principal
streets Of the town and $4,000 was voted
to be borrowed on notes signed by the
commissioners and treasurer. This money
will be borrowed of the bank in Walpole,
and the notes will not bear over per cent
interest, and the entire sum may be paid
after 1898. 1t is proposed that $500 Of
this Indebtedness be raised by additional
taxation each year. J. H. Brown, John
Carroll and All. Mccarthy were chosen
committee to expend the money.
The work will be done by A. L. Adams
of Rutland, and operations will begin on
Monday if nothing unforeseen prevents.
The citizens of North Walpole are to be
congratulated on this manifestation of en-
terprise. With all the streets nicely con-
creted, this will be one of the pretty vii
lagos of this section.

HOW TO SETTLE IT.
Only One Way Out of the Silver Question,
SaYa Cnnrressinan Mnrner.


Says Congressman Warner.
congressman John De Witt War
ner opposes eX-CClgressman Richard r.
Bland in "a discussion Cf the money
question in the New York journal OF
July /. Unlike many eastern men, Mr..
Warner has high opinion of the abil-
ity, character and motives of the silver
people. He thinks that both the leaders
and those in the ranks Of the 16 to l
army are earnest, industrious, sober and
God fearing American citizens, who are
smarting under actual grievances as to
the real cause of which they are greatly
mistaken. We quote the following as a
part Of Mr.. Warmers views:
This proposed law to make people ac.
cept silver is not asked for by anybody
who wants silver. 1t is just because
people do not want silver and will not
take it unless compelled to do so that
our free silver friends want law to
make them take it. The only people
who want the law are, therefore, not
those who want silver, but those who
want to get rid CT silver or who, owing
gold and thinking they can buy silver
more chearly, want to make their cred
itors take it instead. 1t may be said
that, as to future matters, we could
make special contracts calling for gold.
That is just what they can do now in
regard to silver As a matter of fact, a
large and increasing proportion Of con-
tracts do provide specially for payment
in gold. 1t is significant that no one
| 1,0 %
no one prefers silver except for the pur-
pose of forcing it upon some one else.
The most serious feature of the pres
ent situation is not so much the predica-
ment in which we find ourselves as the
apparent disposition in both parties not
to take the only way out, which, if I
may suggest it, is to accept the situa-
ton that the commerce CT the world has
created for itself, to recognize its gen
oral acceptance of the gold standard,
and, leaving to commerce the things
that belong to commerce, to resist any
attempt at interference either by our
own government independently or by
any combination between it and those
of other nations.
Personally I believe gold to be far
superior to any ether standard that is
even remotely practicable, but if our
commerce preferred silver | should con-
slider it measureless inipe:tinence on the
part CT congress to interfere with that
! preference. And SO, certain as am that
our commerce finds it more profitable
and natural to use gold as standard, l
am all the more opposed to any attempt
by congress to interfereywith the natural
course of business. < A,Bad as would be
the effect of free silver, more and more
of us are concluding that few years of
apprehension and financial paralysis,
such as we have had, wOHsd be more
damaging than the actual experience Of
free coinage of silver, trial Of which
would at least establish certain facts
and destroy sundry delusions

Cause of Free Silver Craze.

The causes of the free silver craze are
thought by the Baltimore Sun to be
''the same which caused the greenback
heresy to find advocates in SO many
states of the Union 30 years ago-the
feeling of unrest and desire for a
change, no matter what. produced by
hard times, bad business and lack Of
employment-the desire, conscious or
unconscious, of debtors to scale their
debts by paying them in a deprecated
currency-the vague idea that more
money in circulation means more
money in each individual s pocket, with
out reference to his means or opportunity
to earn or acquire it"

Government stamp and value.

"Suppose, says COINS Financial
School, THAT congress should pass a
law tomorrow authorizing the purchase
Of 100, 900 cavalry horses of certain
sizes and qualities. Horses would ad-
vance in value.
This is one Of 'Coin" Harvey's argu-
ments to show how free coinage would
raise the price of silver. 1t does not fit
the case, because under free coinage the
government would not purchase silver,
but would simply stamp it and make it
legal tender. Is it likely that the gov
eminent stamp is going to greatly in
crease the value Of silver? Will some of
COINS pupils tell how much the
stamp ''U. S. added to the value of this
army mule?

The Monstrous Wrong.

The 'monstrous wrong" for which
Governor Boies arraigns the Republic
ans is, the Philadelphia Telegraph says,
.'the wrong of giving the poor man the
hest money in the world and assuring
him that what little property he may
possess or may acquire shall not be put
in jeopardy by the uncertainties of a
shifting and questionable currency; the
wrong of insisting that the dollar paid
to the wage Garner shall be worth 100
cents and shall not be cut down to so
cents "
