Senator German was at Democratic head
quarters yesterday afternoon for upwards
OF two hnuis. during which time he was
cioseted with Chairman Faulkner of the
Congressional committee. who, since the
closing of the branch Of the natl onai head
quarters, represents the natioJal committee
also.
Their conference related to the details of
the campaign and was of such a nature
that 1t would. rs matter of course, be
kept from the general public. Senator
German had nothing to say about the
situation further than the general state
iDent that he was confident OF the election
OF the Nominee OF the party with which he
Is Identified.
Among other things. however Mr.. Cor
man and Chairman Faulkner discussed
the various comments that have been made
upon the vote or Mr.. Eryan. at Line nln,

"ussion being precipilated by a dispatch
from the Richnnoud Dispatch to Senator

After submitting the dispatch to Mr.. Cor
man. who in 1892. was a member of the
campaign committee. the following ,ele-
gram was sent to the editor of the Dis
patch by Chairman Faulkner.
Il have submitted your telegram today
requesting me To explain why Mr. Bryan

faction to the fact that ballot recently
taken in packing plant, in South Omaha,
Neb., resulted in favor OF Mckinley. The
worknieu there kave been generally re-
garied as Democratic IN previous years.
All OF the tickets used In taking the ballot
were of the same color and the men were
protected in casting their vote the same as
on election day. The vote stood in the
packing house: Mckinley, 1855; Bryan. 81
Palmer, 4. At the office the vote stood:
Mckinley. so; Bryan, z. Palmer, 4. Total;
Mckinley. 536: Bryan, 323. Palmer, 8.

A study of the growth of money may
be useful just now in order to give
more definite idea of exactly what
money is and to learn why certain arti-
Giles or substances have been discarded
and others retained. The natural and
general tendencies we'll understood, we
have only to judge of the future by past
experience to predict what will and
what will not be the principal money
metal of the near future.
Hunting and Fishing Stage.
The kind of money in use in any
country indicates the degree of civil
lization attained. Man probably first be-
came a trading animal in the hunting
and fishing stage Weapons of war and
the chase, together with skins and furs,
were then the most important kinds of
property Hence we find that the more
useful, stable and portable of these
articles were first used as money and
are so used today in barbarous countries

legislation to sustain it, nor has the al
most unlimited special legislation in
the interest of silver and other metals
and substances been able to make them
as good as gold" in any modern civil
liked country. 1t has come by evolution
and will not go even by revolution. We
have passed the fishhook, wampum, to-
bacco, iron and silver stages of civiliza-
ton and have entered the golden stage.
Each year sees some progressive country
stop xperimenting with the tickle and
fuctuating silver standard and declare
for the stable and world recognized gold
standard of value. sibly we may, by
foolish legislation, make silver legal
tender for awhile and drive gold out
of circulation, but our commercial in
terests will continue to use gold, and
soon all interests will be glad to drop
Mexico and China and to return to the
society of civilized nations.

Pieces of bent iron ready for the black

Cash" or ''sapeks" or 'le'' is the
only native coin and the only legal
tender of China as well as the principal
money of small accounts. Cash consists
of round disks Of kind Of brass with a
square hole in the center. The evolution
of cash is interesting. About 200 B. G.
the Chinese were still using bronze
currency representing knives 5 2-5
inches long, with a hole in one end of
the handle By 500 A. D. the knives
were Z Is inches long and the hole or
ring was larger. Later the handle dis
appeared and the ring was attached to
the blade, which was increased in thick
ness to give the same weight as former
ly. Still later the blade was gotten rid
of and the ring was pierced with a
square hole for the string. Thus trans
formed the original and cumbersome
knife money became a comparatively
convenient currency, though the value
has deprecated greatly, partly because
of reduced size and inferior quality of
metal used.
Cash is the basis of all price compu-
tations in China Considerable sums
may be paid in gold or silver, but they
are treated as merchandise and are
bought and sold by weight without a
government stamp to guarantee weight
and fineness
The as was a brass coin used in Italy
until after 200 a. d.
2. INTERNATIONAL TRADE. - When
trade became international, there was
still greater need for the most accurate
and reliable counters Of value possible
Real coinage began when governments
first guaranteed weight and iineuess
with an official stamp A great part
of this immense gain to commerce
and civilization was lost when, after
awhile, monarchs began to abuse this
coming privilege and to break faith
with their subjects by stamping light
weight or otherwise debased coins as
genuine. Such coins would continue in
use, but would soon depreciate la value.

Suppose You Should Be Mistaken.

Farmers who think that free silver
will help them to get rid of their mort
cages should consider carefully what eff
feet Is to law will have on the lenders
of capital. The silverites are telling you
beautiful stories about the great volume
of money which will be ready for loan
ing at low rates of interest as soon as
we adopt the silver standard But sup
pose the scheme should not work in the
way they expect? Suppose that as soon
as it becomes likely that free coinage
law will be enacted there is a general
demand that all mortgages should at
once be paid in full? The promise of
cheap money when free silver comes
won't help you now. Where are you
going to get the money to pay off your
mortgage? Do you suppose any man is
going to make loans while there is a
possibility of his being repaid in so cent
dollars? And if you can't raise the
money when it is called for, and if your
farm is sold at sacrifice, where will
you be then?
Think these things over DON'T be
fooled by the free silver idea that cheap
money means low rates Of interest. The
facts arc iust the other way. Interest is
far higher In all silver using countries
than in gold countries. LIE we go on the
silver standard the men who have capt.
tai 10 lend win chaIge more interest
than they do now in order to cover the
risk Ct being repaid In depreciated SIT

great need of more exact and scientific
