NUMB FIR II
A CHASTITY Find.

A very peculiar story, which has not
before found its way into print, comes
from the White River country, some
20 miles north Of Green Forest, and
one. which, if altogether true, is not
only an example of very remarkable
dream, but tit carries with it profound
mystery.
We have it from what we con slider
very reliable source that three human
skeletons have recently been found in
what is known as Mill hollow, about a
mile from the the old Maberry's ferry
on White River. They were found
under ledge of rocks where they had
evidently lain for six or seven years.
An examination of the skeletons by
physician revealed the fact that they
We're that Of a man, woman and child.
Who these persons are, and how
which the citizens Of the community
can throw no light. The discovery of
the skeletons was caused to be made
by one Ben Rice, resident of that
neig ghborhood, who cl aims to have had
dream, which led him to make the
search. He says, so the story goes,
that he dreampt one night that three
skeletons were hidden at this particu-
lar place, and the night following he
dreampt that his dream the night
before led him to make search and
that it revealed every thing as his
dream indicated. All this, it is SAID y,
impressed him so he procured the
service of some friends and proceeded
to the spot, where he found his dres IN
only too true.
But it seems that the people down
there are not altogether willing to
accept this revelation. They think
that Rice knows something about how
these bodies came to be placed there,
but SO far 10 developments have been
made. tits said that Rice is consider
bly, exercised over the matter.

Where 1t Would Go.

To the warning of the true bimetal-
lists that free silver coinage at sixteen
to one ny 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 top
1t would go where it went during war
sire-either abroad or into hiding or
into vaults as q commodity for specu-
7ative gambling.
1t would go where gold has gone IN
every free coinage country in the world
out of sight or as the reserve for
banks.
Geld is now in general use as cur
rencv in the Pacific states. 1t is hsld
by the government ard by banks in all
parts of the country as a reserve to sas-
tain 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.
Free coinage means silver monomet-
allism.-N. Y. World.

FARM PRODUCTS.
Prices Have Fallen Eecause OF Increased
Production All Over the World.

production All over the w ORD.
@. Is it true that the price of wheat
and many other farm products has fall
EN- heavily? A. It is.
@. How are such declines, in wheat,
for instance, to be explained? A. By
the enormously rapid increase in grain
growing area throughout the world.
@. Has this increase been especially
rapid since 1872? A. The increase in
grain growing area in this period, es-
pecially in North America, South Amer
lea and Asia, has never been approached
in any equal period in the history OF the
world.
O. How do we judge of actual compe-
tition in the sale of wheat? A. BY
the supplies thrown annually on the
worlds great distributing markets.
@. What market in particular? A.
England, where most of the buying ma
tions go to purchase their grain.
@. What are the figures? ~. AS re-
Gently as 1880 Great, Britain imported,
for consumption and reeNport, 55,261,-
o24 hundredweig.ht of wheat-a large
increase over the preceding annual aver
age. In 1895 it imported s1,749,955
hundredweight.
Q. What has made possible this re-
narlable increase in wheat produc-
ton: A. The exceedingly rapid de
velopment of transportation facilities
in newly cultivated grain countries;
among them India, Russia and the Ar
gentine Republic.
O. Has there been an increase in the
United States itself? A. An enormous
increase.
Q. How large? A. In 1875 there
were 26,as1.512 acres of wheat culti-
waited i'll this country; in 1891 there
were 80, ,o16.so7. an increase of so per
cent. The yield of 1875 was 292,136,-
COO bushels, a heavy increase over pre-
ceding years. In 1891 the yield was
Gil $4,000 Even last year, with
greatly reduced acreage and partial
crop failure, the yield was ACT, 100000
bushels.
@. Has the yield of other crops in
creased correspondingly? a. 1t has.
@. Give instances. A. The culti-
sated area of corn in the United States
in 1871 was 34,o91,137 acres; in 1891
it was 76.204,515 increase, 124 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 in any year prior
to 1887.
@. Was decline in grain and cotton
prices under such conditions inev-
liable? A. AS inevitable as decline in
the price of clothing or furniture or
books or steel rails or pins when eompe-
tition in their manufacture has extend
ed enormously.
@. Would free coinage help the pro-
ducers of grain to Il large profit under
such conditions? A. Not in the least.
@. Why not? A. Because if the NOM
inal price of grain were to rise through
imitation of the currency the price OF
everything else would rise also. and the
farmer would be relatively no better off
than he was before.-N. Y. Evening

Bland III a discussion Of the money

and those in the ranks of the sixteen

sober and God-fearing American citi-
zens, who are smarting under actual
grievances as to the real cause of which
they are greatly mistaken. We quote
the following as part of AIr. Warmers
views.
'sThis proposed law to make people
accept silver is not asked for by any
body who wants silver. 1t is just be-
cause 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,
lot those who Wantsilver, but those who
want to get rid OF silver, or who, owing
gold and thinking they can buy silver
mere cheaply, want to make their cred
itors take it instead. It may be said
that, as to future matters, we could
make special contracts calling for geld.
That is just what they can do now in
regard to silver. AS a matter OF fact,
large and increasing proportion of con
tracts do provide specially fer payment
in gold. 1t is significant that no one
hears of silver contracts. The reason is
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 preGica
ment in which we find ourselves as the
apparent disposition in both parties not
to take the only way out, which, if I
loay suggest it, is to accept the situa'
ton that the commerce of the world
Las created for itself, to recognize its
general acceptance of the gold, stand
ard, and. leaving to commerce the
things that belong to commerce, to re-
sist any attempt at interference either
by cur own government independently
Or by any combination between it and
those of other nations.
PERSONALLY I believe gold to be far
superior to any other standard that is
even remotely practicable, but If our
commerce preferred silver should con
slider it reasureless imPertnence or
the part of congress to interfere with
that preference. And so, certain as I
am that our commerce finds it more
profitable and natural to use gold as q
standard. I am all the more opposed
to any attempt by congress to inte rfere
with the natural course of business.
i y i Bad as would be the effect OF
free silver. more and more OF us are
concluding that few years of appre-
hension and financial paralysis, such
as we have had, would be more dam
aging than the actual experience of
free coinage of silver, a trial of which
would at least establish certain facts
and destroy sundry delusions.

In declaring for the free coinage of

declared for a different and lower

The report of the majority of the Finance Committee was sustained drought Senator Jones, of Ark ansas, managed the bill, and did it with extreme tact, good nature and efficiency. There were some surprises when the vote was announced. It was expected that Baker, of Kansas; Mcbride, of Oregon, and Martin, of Virginia, would vote for the bill, but they registered their votes on the other side. Senator Mills. of Texas, voted for the bill in com mittee of the whole and against it on the final vote in the Senate. The action of the Texas Senator meant that he preferred the free coinage of silver to the issue of bonds. and, consequently, voted for the report of the Senate Finance Committee, which substituted free coinage for the House bond bill. When the free coinage bill pure and simple, however, without a possibility of being substituted for a bond bill, was before the Senate the Texas Senator voted against it. This was in accordance with the plainly eX pressed and well understood views of Senator Mills.
 Of the 42 Senators who voted for the till, 20 were Democrats, 15 Republicans and ' Populists. Of those who voted against the bill, g are Republicans and B Demo- crats. Nobody expects, of course, that the House will adopt tine Senate bill, but it is probable that there will he a Conference Com mittee, and that serious effort will he made to get up some scheme while the bill is in conference that would meet the approval of both Houses and, perhaps, the President. It is very doubtful, however, at this time if any measure could he matched up that would meet the anproyal of the divergent senti- ments of the Senate, House and
 President Cleveland.
