A CURRENCY SYSTEM
Distrust to Be Removed by Retiring the
GreenbackS

CHICAGO. Nov. 10.-A special dis
patch from Indianapolis. Ind, says Lo-
cal bankers and business men, without
regard to political ties, are expressing
themselves in favor of an organized
movement to bring about revision of
the currency system and declaring that
something must be done to remove all
cause of distrust.
The majority agree that the greenback
must be retired. The suggestion is also
meeting with general favor that a ma
tonal meeting of business men be held
TO consider the subject and recommend
action to be hereafter indorsed by con-
gresS.
1t is the purpose to ask the Indianap-
oils board of trade to take the initiative,
but meanwhile it is proposed to seek the
views of boards of trade in other cities
to the end that there may be concerted
action. So far as the bankers are con-
cerned, since the election they are re-
alizing more clearly than ever that gold
has been boarded by the people. Daily
deposits oS gold are being made in
muddy sacks, showing that it was
buried in the earth until the election
demonstrated that it was safe to deposit
it again.

LABOUCHERE'S COMMENTS
On American Politics and the United
States Plltocracy
Americas Worst Product is its Pluto
cracy, Whose Members Have
no Recommendations.

LONDON, Nov. Recommending on
the recent election in the United States.
Henry Labouchere, in Truth, says: If
Mr.. Bryan had been wise he would
have gone in for bimetallism, if it
pleased him. but he could have left the
ratio indefinite. His ratio meant the
right of every one to repudiate half his
obligations without this bettering any
one in the future.
But the victors will do we'll to realize
that apart from bimetallism, there is a
strong and growing feeling in America
against huge accumulations of capital
in the hands of individuals, obtained
by means of the trusts. which are really
monopolies. and gambling with cogged
dice in railroads. The greedy plutoc-
racy. unsupported by an armed force.

TANGLED RETURNS.
Results Alleged to Be in Doubt on Con
gressmen.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10.-The sit
uation in the Sixth and Seventh con-
gressional districts is still in doubt. In
the Sixth district every county except
Los Angeles has sent their official re-
turns. Counting the returns already
received from Los Angeles the vote now
stands: Barlow, Democrat and Popu-
list, 23,644; McLachlan, Republican, 49,
55S, leaving Barlow 81 votes ahead Ac-
cording to the unofficial returns Barlow
was 95 ahead. The official count in Los
Angeles may give McLachlan lead over
Castle, but it will be very close either
way. In the Seventh district Fresno,
Merced and San Diego counties have
now sent in the official figures. Count
ing the unofficial returns from those
counties and the official returns from
the other counties of the district thu
vote stands: Castle, Democrat and
Populist, 1924; Bowers, Republican,
1881, leaving Castle 1873 in the lead. The
unofficial figures made Castle only 49,
ahead, so he has lost two votes so far
on the official count
The official returns from Nevada
county give Mckinley 1880; Bryan 1880;
Palmer, 90; Prohibition, G.; National, 25.

WINE MAKERS TROUBLES.
The Crop is Large, But the Prices AR,
Low,

The Crop is Large, But the Prices Are
Low.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10.-Wine
makers and dealers are locking horns
over the price of the dry product of
1896. On the one side there has been a
shortage Of the crop which would jus
tify an increase above what was paid
last year, and on the other there is dan
ger If California wines are held too high
that artificial manufacture will be
stimulated in the east and the thirty
cents gallon duty or the foreign article
will be insufficient to keep out cheap
grades from New Orleans and other
places which are our principal markets.
1t Is difficult problem to solve. and is
complicated by the divergent interests
of sellers and buyers. The vintage has
just been completed. At the office of
the wine makers corporation the pro-
duct Of the dry varieties is thus esti-
mated:
Sonoma county 4,500,0o0 gallons:
Santa Clara county, 100000; Napa
county, 100000: Alameda, 800, 900; scat
tering, 100000; total, 11,500,00O gallons.
This is considerably more than was
May last. when the dry wine yield was
estimated at from 100000 to 5000, 900
gallons When the shortage became
evident, however, everything obtain
able, such as brandy, port, sherry and
condensed must was turned into dry
wines, with the result shown by the
foregoing table. Even this is much below
the normal demand. The usual re-
port Is 10000 and the coast consumption
OF wines, both dry and sweet, is 5000 900,
making total Of 22000,O00 gallons.
From this 100000 gallons of sweet
wines must be deducted, leaving s,0OO,- :
600 gallons Of dry wines annually re
quisite for the trade. To meet this 1t is
estimated that there are in dealers
hands 100000 gallons, which, added to
the 11,5O00O00 gallons of the crop of
1896. would give total of e, ,0O0, 900 gal
Ions.

MONTREAL, Que, Nov. 10.-The
statement made in New York by Hon.
w. S. Fielding, Canadian finance minis
ter that efforts will be made by the Ca
madam government to secure a treaty
of reciprocity with the United States as
soon as President-elect Mckinley shall
assume office at Washington, has al
ready awakened the greatest interest
among business men in Montreal and
throughout Canada. The commercial
interests of the dominion, regardless of
politics, are almost a unit in favor of a
renewal of what is known as the Elgin
reciprocity treaty of 1864, and it is be-
lieved that when the representatives of
Canada visit Washington next spring
they will endeavor to secure reciprocal
legislation along the lines of that treaty
The principal provisions of the Elgin
treaty were as follows: 1t removes the
three-mile limit imposed by the conven-
tion of 1918 and gives to the inhabitants
of the United States free liberty to take
all kinds of fish except shell fish along
the shores and in the bays and harbors of
the provinces of Canada, Nova Scotia
New Brunswick and Prince Edward
island, and adjacent islands, with per-
mission to land for the purpose of drying
nets or curing their fish. All salmon,
shad and river fisheries We're, however,
reserved exclusively for British subjects.
Similar liberties with similar reserva-
tions were given to all British subjects
to fish on the eastern sea coasts of the
United States north of the thirty-sixth
parallel of north latitude.
The following articles to be admitted
into each country respectively free of
duty: Grain, -four and breadstuffs of all
kinds; fresh. smoked and salted meats;
cotton. wool, seeds and vegetables, fruits,
dried and undried; hats, furs, skins or
tails undressed; butter. cheese, tallow,
lard, horns, manure. pitch, tar turpen
tine ashes and lumber of all kinds,
round, hewed, sawed, manufactured, in
whole or in part; rice. broom corn and
bark, gypsum, ground or unground;
hewn or wrought or unwrought burr of
grindstones; manufactured tobacco, fish
of all kinds, products of fishes or of all
other living creatures living in water;
poultry, eggs, stone or marble in crude
or unwrought; slate, ores or metals Of
all kinds, coal, firewood, plants, shrubs,
trees, pelts, wool, fish oil, dyestuffs, flax,
hemp and tow manufactured, rags.
Itgave to the inhabitants of the Unit
ed States the right to navigate the river
st. Lawrence and the canals of Canada
as freely as British subjects, subject to
the same tolls, and similar right to nav
igating Lake Michigan so long as the
privilege of navigating the st. Law
renee should continue. No export duty
was to be levied on timber cut on Amer
lean territory and foated down to be
shipped from New Brunswick.

SANTA CRUZ, Nov. 10.-At 6:10 this
evening, after the arrival of the narrow
gauge train from San Francisco. bold
robbery was committed. AS the mail
pouches were being hauled in an express
wagon from the depot to the postoffice,
within a few hundred yards of the de-
pot. man grabbed the pouch containing
the Los Gatos mail. The driver saw the
man reaching for the pouch and called
on him to desist. The horses became
frightened and started to run, and before
the driver could halt them the thief had
disappeared into the lumber yard. Of
ficers were notified and search was
made. officer Dougherty found a man,
who gave the name Of James Taylor. He
said he was formerly a mail carrier In
st. Louis and expected letter and took
the pouch so as to get it but was unable
to open the bag. The man is evidently
insane, for he said he was ordered out of
San Francisco because he tried to blow
up the postoffice because he could not
get his letters. He claims to have lost
money in wheat speculation in San
Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10.-Some
time ago the postoffice officials here re-
ceived letter from a man named Tay-
lor in which he claimed his letters were

could not be found at that time and it is
supposed he is the man arrested at Santa
