Assumed net profit to Mexican

Reduced TO gold l,-Sc
As this assumed profit would be in
silver and the wheat would have to be
sold upon the gold standard. this skillful
accountant reduces this to gold, making
the net profit to the Mexican farmer
$3.50. But to produce this result this
accommodating accountant. while CON
ceding that the expense of raising the
wheat would be twice as many silver
dollars as i'll the United States. as
sumes that the profit on it would be the
same number of silver dollars as in the
United States. AS matter of fact the
freight rates in Mexico are higher ex-
pressed in the gold standard than in the
United States. but assuming that they
are the same. the American railroad COM
panieS, as soon as they cross the border
require twice as many Mexican dollars
to pay a given freight rate as they re-
Quire of American dollars on American
territory. so that the freight rate in Mex
leo would be S1609 instead of $500,
our free silver accountant states it.
Moreover. interest rates are higher i'll
Mexico than in the United States. if
paid in Mexican silver dollars. and more
over the interest would have to be paid
on twice the number of silver dollars bor-
rowed by the American farmer, so that
even supposing the rates of interest
to be the same, the amount of interest
would be double. raising it from 5000 to
S40O Moreover, the equivalent of $40
taxes paid by the American farmer
would be $50 in Mexican dollars, so that
the account of the Mexican farmer, thus
corrected, would stand as follows:

Reducing this to gold. as in the original
statement. the net profit of the Mexican
farmer would be S76O. exactly what that
of the American farmer would be. This
is fair specimen of the illusory and
deceptive statements put forth by free
silver men to deceive American farmers.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
ONE feature of note in the operations
on the 22d at the federal treasury was
the startling increase of the amount OF
gold withdrawn from the sub-treasury
for boarding in this country. On the
21st only s15s 600 in coin was drawn
ont for this purpose. but on the 22d
the amount withdrawn aggregated
S744. 100
IT was reported from Washington
that Secretary Olney had gone TO Gray
Gables at the request of President
Cleveland and that Secretary Lamont
was likely to be in that vicinity on the
e2d. The conference was thought to
be for the discussion of political ques-
tons and that the president soon after
the conference would issue some sort
of statement defining his position.
AT the close of business on the Esd
the federal gold reserve had been once
more placed safely over the 500, 600, 600
mark. This was accomplished through
the deposit of gold coin by certain
banks in return for United States
notes
IT has been decided to continue the
work of the American Bimetallic union
at Washington in sending out litera-
ture to educate voters on the money
question until the November election
and the working force will be doubled
after August 1.
THE secretary of the interior issued
a requisition on the treasury on the
cath for $13, 1875, 600, to be expended
next month for pension payments
The amount to be distributed at To-
peka. Kan, is So. 7OO 600.
THE Washington Star recently print
ed the following item: 1t is understood
that Secretary Hoke Smith has in
formed several intimate friends in the
south of his purpose to support Bryan
and Sewe11, and that if the president
and his cabinet bolt the Chicago ticket
either for Mckinley or for sound
money democratic ticket, he (Smith)
will retire from the cabinet without
further ceremony.
The military information division Of
the war department at Washington has
just issued the ninth number of the
series of valuable educational publica-
lions, the present being devoted prin-
cipally to description in great detail
of the large military schools of Europe.
The new S. silver certificate de-
signed by Mr.. Low, of New York,
made its first public appearance at
Washington on the oath, and there
was rush by local business men to
get hold of the new notes paid out
over the treasury counters. The new
note is artistic in appearance but from
its marked difference from the old
note may not be at first well received
by the conservative element.
BRIG. GEN. RICHARD NJ BATCHELDER,
artermaster-general of the army, has
been placed upon the retired list on
account of age.
A WASHINGTON dispatch to the New
York Journal on the Goth stated that
Hole Smith, secretary of the interior,

Gambling in India.

Amongst the HinGoos throughout
the whole of India there is a holiday
celebration in honor of Lalzshmi, the
goddess of wealth and good fortune,
whereon gambling is universally re-
gardcd as a religious duty. 1t is known
as the festival of lamps, and or that day
all classes indulge in games Of chance
with shells, coins, cards, dice, ETC., and
the future of the individual, whether
good or bad, is looked upon as forecast
of his wealth or poverty during the en-
suing year. The women take a most in
tense interest in the proceedings and, if
fortunate, eXpend their winnings in
the purchase of sweet-meats and fruits,
as gifts to all their friends and rela-
tions, toys for the small children and
fireworks for the boys. At Benares,
their sacred city, as night approaches,
small carthen lamps, fed with oil, are
kindled, making the outlines of every
mansion, palace, temple and minaret
visible. All vessels in the river are also
illuminated; So that the whole city is
one blaze of light.

Members OF Hunting Clubs on Whom Esi:
fines We're Imposed.
Among the sports of olden times Chg
hunting clubs were prominent every
where, says the Atlanta Constitution
In Camden county one of the most ia
nous of clubhouses in this country was
built at Bear Hammock and kept under
the supervision of Gen. John Floyd. 1t
was there that the Camden County
Hunting club organized in 1882, held it's
meetings, made it's rules and imposed
it's fines.
The charter members of the club
were Charles r. Floyd, Richard Floyd,
Henry Floyd John Floyd, Ben Hopkins,
j. II. Dilworth, James Holzendorf, John
Holzendorf, Alexander Holzendorf, p.
NJ. Nightingale, William Berrie and
Henry du Bignon. Several members
joined afterward. The club dress was
u scarlet jacket and black pantaioons
and fine of 500 copper caps was i'm
posed on AleXnder Holzendorf al cne
meeting for not having on the reGula-
ton dress. No member was to be alb
sent from the meetings unless by Sood
excuse, and, James HolZendorf wos
fined 1000 copper caps for one absence.
After the days hunt, sometimes with
the luck of 16 deer, an elegant dinner
was served before dispensing.
The 10th rule read: "Game is con-
sidered by the club to be deer, bear,
hogs, cows, bulls, wildcats and turkeys"
Wild cattle and hogs abounded in he
woods in those days, the latter living
to an old age, which was told by the
