SILVER DOWN---WHeAr UP
An Interesting Little Fact That shoul
Not bo Forgotten.

| An Interesting LIttI. Fact That should
Not 10 Forgotten.
| The recent sharp advance in wheat co.
incident with II fall in silver is quite in
! limo with the experience Of the last month
and annihilatos the theory that the price
OF silver is inscparably linked with tho
| prices Of farm products.
! Government assay bars fell To sixty-nve
and half cents an ounce At this price
! the bullion value OF the silver In stand
ard dollar Is nifty and n half cents, - that
| II the advocates OF free coinage were sue
cossful wo would have dollar worth
about ilfty cents
Every claim made by the sllvcrtes has
been promptly refuted by the event. They
/ pleaded for the passage OF tho sherman
law, asserting that the governments pur-
chase Of nearly 200 tons "A month under
that law-practically tho entire product OF
this country-would advance the price OF
silver so that sixteen ounces would bs
equal TO AN ounce OF gold. In other words,
they said IL would sell at 81. 90 an ounce.
When the law passed and purchases un-
der 10 began silver was sl.0s an ounce.
After more than three years Of steady gov
ernmcnt buying when the law was re-
poaled silver was seventy cents Recently
the free coinage advocates have been as
surfing tho farmers that their wheat would
continue TO fall unless silver could be ad-
vanced. What Is the factY Silver goes
down because the demand is not equal to
the supply and wheat advances because
the demand exceeds the supply. The
farmer must SEQ that tho prices OF his pro.
ducts are not dependent upon the nuctua-
tions Of silver, but upon the same natural
laws that govern all other commodities. -

FACTS About WAGES
Prices Paid to Labor in Coun.
tries On a Gold Basis.
FIGURES THAT DO NOT LIE.
Voters Of This Country Will No
Longer Listen to Theories
ABOUT TIE SCARCITY OF MONEY.

Three Things That Always Interest the
Laborins Men-First, Good wages, Soc
ond. Steady Employment; aud Third, tho
Best Money In Circuiation-Thc Conciu-
sions ON Ali These Questions Demand the
Triumph of MeKiniey. Profession and
Sound Money.
There are three things that always in
tcrcst tho lnboring men, says the jean nette
Dispatch. First good wages; second,
steady employment third, the best money
In circulation. In answer 10 the free silver
argument we beg leave TO quote the prices
paid to labor In few TRADES In countries
on gold bnsis and the Same labor also In
countries on a silver basis The statistics
arc taken from The World Almanac for
1896, and the same can he found in the rc.
port OF the United States ccnsus:
Bricklayers are paid per week In the
gold basis countries as follows: New
South Walcs, Sl6.a2; Victoria. slieo; Bra.

money In each of these countries is worth
only about - per cent. Of the value ot
gold the reader can judge for himself
whether or not n free silver basis IS con-
ducivc Of high wages This il but ono cx-
ample of tho various omploymon taken
to show the relative wages paid.
Now consider the second question Of
steady employment The cry four years
ago was, give us "A chance at the markets
of tho world and wo will give steady ON.
ploymcnt to our laboring mon. Has such
been the casoY IL not the namo tariff
policy 90 bc pursued by tho Democratic
partyY IL seems from the hard times Of
the last four years the markets OF the
world have gotten n chance at us with
moro dopositors In the banks than ever
before In the history OF our country, does
II 20 to show that hard timcs is brought
about by the scarcity OF money!
The argument that scarcity OF money
never brought about good times is GER
tainly true, but the opposite Is equally
true that good times never brought about
scarcity Of money. II the money OF our
country today was put into circulation
and not boarded up through fear there
would be no talk about scarcity OF money
As Ia tho third question, the dollar Of to-
day is equally good among all classes. No
one would ask for anything more. Its
parity is never questioned. Thcn why re.
sort to experiment, rs tho people did four
years agoY Tho voters of this country will

Full Meaning Of the Law

Some months ago We published
for the information of the farmers
the law in full providing for Il re-
bate on road taxes when widc-tircd
wagons are used. Some questions
having since arisen a. to the pur-
rose OF the law, the matter was sub
mittcd to Attorney General McCor-
mick and in the opinion he has Civ
en- the Department of Agriculture
h, says :
"Thc evident purpose of this leg
islation was 10 prevent H. far as
possible the use OF the narrow tires
on wagons upon which heavy loads
were carried, and To encourage the
use of wide tires to the end that the
roads should be injured as little n
possible. ! am of the opinion, how
ever, that a farmer who uses draft
wagon carrying 1000 pound. or
more, has them equipped with four
inch tire. and uses no wagon with
a narrow tire for the purpose of car
rying 1000 pounds or more, brings
himself within the provisions of this
act and is entitled to the rebate of
one. fourth OF the assessed highway
tax"

PRODUCTION OF SILVER.
The Amount Brought Forth Since the
Crime of rs.

tFime of 10.
Since silver was "struck down by tho
crime of 1873" the mines Of the United
States alone have produced 039, SO, 900
ounces.
Tho commercial value of the enormous
yield, reckoned at tho average price for
each year, was t9i3 600
The coining value of tho total product
at tho existing ratio was Sl.2li, 75l 900. So
that II permitted to enjoy free coinage tho
mine owners would have made an "addl-
tional profit" AS tho circular of their
Finance committee truly put It, of S27l, :
900. They would have made an "addi.
tional profit" of SOS, 600 O6O on tho yield of
1894, and of $50, 900, 900 on tho yield OF 1895.
No wonder Mr. Merrill thought they
could afford not to give" tho "ad-
ditlonai profit they would receive for
their own silver product for one month"

TRICKS OF MEDIAETAL ARCHITECTS.

SOME OF THE INTERESTING RESULTS OF PRO
FEssoR GooDYEARs TOUR IN ITALY
Professor william II. Goodyear. the leader OF the
Brooklyn Institute expedition to Italy In the sum
mer Of 1895. has this week made announcement OF
the scientific results Of that trip. These results
have significance. In that they overthrow the long
established ideas of medieval architecture and
demonstratc tho existence Of a perspective art
which is entirely unknown to modern builders. At
the Same time they help to explain why modern
limitations OF mediaeval architecture are poor
Professor Goodyear visited Italy last year under
arrangements with the Brooklyn Institute to make
at his own expense surveys Of over 100 Italian
churches and cathedras provided the institute paid
the hire of a surveying and Photographic expert.
