Advocates of independent free coinage
have been unceasing in their efforts to
make the farmer believe that there is some
subtle relation existing between silver
and wheat whereby an ounce of silver will
always buy about the same quantity of
wheat, and many wheat ia rmers have
been deceived thereby, as the following
comparison will show:
During 1s79-sO wheat fell Is cents bushel
and silver rose cents an ounce.
During 1SSO-SI wheat rose "a cents bushel
and silver remained unchanged in price.
During 1SS1-S2 wheat fell 81 cents a bushel
and silver fell only cent an ounce.
During 1SS2-S3 wheat rose cents bushel
and silver fell 2 cents an ounce.
During 1SS3-94 wheat fell 2612 cents busbel
and silver remained unchanged in value.
During 1SS4-S5 wheat rose 121a cents
bushel and silver fell cents an ounce.
During 1885 So wheat fell 81 cents bushel
and silver fell cents an ounce.
Dnring 1S86-S7 wheat remained unchanged
and silver fell cents an ounce.
During 1S87-89 wheat rose 241S cents a
bushel and silver fell cents an ounce.
During 19S8-89 wheat fell 1913 cents bushel
and silver rose cent an ounce.
During 18S9-90 wheat rose ID cents bushel
and silver rose IL cents an ounce.
During 1S9O91 wheat remained stationary
and silver fell cents an ounce.
During 1892 wheat fell III cents bushel
and silver fell II cents an ounce.
Since 1892 wheat and silver have both
fallen in common with everything else
and from the same democratic causes.
The figures above used are from official
sources and correctly compiled, and they
show conclusively that the ups and downs
OF. silver and wheat have no relation with
each other. During the fourteen years from
1879 to 1892, inclusive, the course of wheat
and silver in the markets OF the world was
coincident three times and contrary eleven
times
pretty story has been told million
times by the independent free coinage peo-
pie, and the Populists in particular, to the
effect that the absence of free coinage in
America and its presence in India enable
British grain-buyers to come to America
and buy silver, take that silver to India,
have 1t coined and buy wheat, and so get
their wheat for little or nothing. There
never was much in this story, and there
has not been anything at all in it for
good many years, for an ounce of silver
would most always buy as much wheat in
America as in India. When India has
short crop and America big one wheat is
worth more in India than America, and
when America has short crop and India
a large one wheat is worth more in Amer
lea than in India; but, on an average, an
ounce OF silver would exchange for
as much wheat in one country as the
other, as the following comparative state
ment will show:

try that which we can purchase abroad at
lower price, Will the farmers of Cali
fornia desert the policy of Jackson and
Mckinley on the very threshold OF
great industrial development throughout
the interior valleys OF this State? In
manufacturing California has heretofore
been handicapped for want of cheap fuel,
but Fresno and Folsom have settled that.
Electrical transmission is fact and
there IS more power in the upper waters
of either the Sacramento, American, San
Joaquin and Kern rivers going to waste
every day than ell the coal consumed in
America supplies to the $685. manufac-

great is the fall of the waters that come
down from the higher Sierras that their
power is multiplied every mile or half
mile along their courses, and thread of
copper will gather up that power and
transmit it whittier we would have it go.
This cheap power should not be per-
mitted to go to waste. If Californians

which, though short, was full of good
sense, wit and right to the point.
The well-known speaker and author, W.
j. Colville, spoke elo1uently of the temple
spirituallsts propose erecting here and told
of the unseen temple OF character which
all are building, closing by proclaiming as
the motto of spiritualists: ave search
for truth-we disseminate the truth and
seek to live the truth we know He was
followed by Mrs. Martha Simpson in a
finely rendered vocal solo entitled: 81
Dream of Thee Mrs. Sarah Cook.accom-
panying her on the piano.
National President Harrison D. Barrett
of Washington, ID. c., made most fitting
address. He said that since the general
ton spiritualism has become question of
National thought and question. He stated
that letters from all portions of the Union
were pouring in upon headquarters in
Washington making inquiries as to the
doings of spiritualists.
Mr.. Barrett closed his remarks by an in
junction to live up to that edict of Con-
iueius and later enunciated by the man OF
Nazareth, GAS ye would that others would
DO unto you do ye also unto them.''

of Chicago, then rendered in a highly ar

and 'fBy and Bv." Professor Whitelaw of
Thomas 6. Newman. the editor of the
| Philosophical Journal of San Diego, gave
brief address full of fire and good advice,
which was well received.
Then came the musical event of the
EVENING" violin solo by Professor E. A.
Whitelaw of Boston, who gave the "Polish

from "Traumerei," and was afterward
twice recalled. Mrs. Gerald Dean Morris
acted al his accom- PIANIST.
Stephen D. Dye of Los Angeles re-
sponded to call for speech by humor-
Gus story.
The programme closed with a we'll
rendered selection by Professor Young's
orchestra, composed of spiritualist young
ladies and gentlemen, which plays only
upon SUCH occasions, and never for re-
Enumeration. Afterward President Barrett
held sort of informal levee, every body
seeming DESTROYS of shaking the foremost
spiritualist of the land by the hand and
bidding him welcome to San Francisco
and to California.
Hon. Thomas G. Newman of San Diego

STATE sUFFRAGISTs.

All OF Them Seem to Be Hard at Work
in the Cause of Political Equality.
The woman suffrage work throughout
the State is in most encouraging phase,
judging from the reports thus far handed
in at the Woman Suffrage bureau. The
visiting precinct committees report that
thus far the voters interviewed stand two
to one in favor of woman suffrage. The
local organizers report that throughout
the State much interest is being mani
tested in the woman-suffrage movement,
many voters manifesting much anxiety to
obtain information in relation to the
matter.

WHY NO ONE WAS THERE.
An Explanation From the Merchants
Association Committee.

ASSOCIATION committee
The following communication has been
received from the chairman of the COM
mittee on equalization from the Mer-
chants Association:
To the Press and Public of San Francisco:
Through the published reports of the proceed
ings OF the State Board of EQUALIZATION it ap-
pears that some of the members of that board
express surprise and find feult that San Fran
cisco is not represented by the Merchants
Association in answer TO the citation OF the
State Board addressed to the Supervisors of
San Francisco to show cause why the assessed
valuation OF property In this County should
not be increased for State purposes.
In view OF the extraordinary increase of the
assessed valuation of property in the City and
County OF San Francisco of nearly $50, 0O0,-
COMMITTEES appointed by the president of the
Merchants Association believed that a per-
sonal representation before the State Board of
Equalization was wholly unnecess ary and
that clear and impartial statement OF the
actual facts would answer all requirements
far better than any personal representation.
Having secured irrefragable facts and data
in support of the just case of the City and
County OF San Francisco, we placed them
in the hands of Hon. A. Chesebrough, member
OF the State board from this district, knowing
him to be perfectly upright and fair-minded
citizen, and requested him on behalf of the
citizens of San Francisco to present their ca Sc
before the State Board of EQUALIZATION. Re-
spectfully submitted,
MAURICE A. RoTHCHILD,
Chairman of the Committee on State Board OF
Equalization and Director of the Merchants
Association.

passing away of NJ. B. Dodge, who was for
many years president of the Progressive
SpIrituaIist Society of this City, and stated
that the funeral would take place from
Golden Gate Hall, on Sunday next at II
O'Clock, noon.
The committee of three, appointed to
report upon the right of the Freethought
Spiritual Society, was called for. The
committee reported that said society was
entitled to ten delegates. On motion TO
accept such report, a discussion was pre-
cipitated which continued until a motion
to allow the society a representation of
only four delegates was made and q viva
voce vote taken, after DR.. Rin-es, presi-
dent of the society, had announced that
he would not accept such a representa-
ton. Some confusion having arisen over
the vote, ii was again taken in the same
manner, and resulted in a decision in
favor of allowing the society four dele
gates. DR.. Rin-es appointed as such dele
gates Nine. E. Young, Mrs. E. J. Myers,
A. R. SIitz.
The National president moved that a
committee on resolutions be appointed,
and the chair appointed Messrs. Loveland,
Barker and Newman, after which the as.
ISOLATION adjourned it's executive sessions
until this morning at 10 O'Clock.
In yesterdays list of delegates that of
Mrs. NJ. ]. Hendee-Rogers of the Peoples
Society was omitted. Mrs. Rogers
has been a worker for spiritualism for
over forty years, and is still one of tie
brightest and most ambitious workers in
its ranks.
There are between 30CO and 1000 spirit
ualists in San Francisco, and it looked as
if they had all met at Golden Gate Hall
last night to receive and do honor to Hon.
Harrison D. Barrett, the president of the
National Spiritualists' Association, who
comes to confer National charter upon
the State association now in session.
The meeting was called to order by State

CONTINUE SPRAYING.
The Second Crop of Goblin Moth
Now Appearing-Actiye Work
necessary

In order that pest results may bd
obtained from spraying of fruit trees.
it is highly important that the work
be continued with great care during
the next six weeks.
No matter how thorough the work of
the early spring, some worms are found
in every orchard, since it is physical
impossibility to so spray a tree as that
each young worm shall find a dose of
poison before he is safely entrenched
in the little apple. Having once en-
tered the apple the worm is secure from
the effects of all future spraying. The
worms thus escap ping in early spring
are now reaching maturity and prepar-
ing to leave the fruit. They seek pro-
tected spots about the cocoon, undergo
transformation and emerge in the form
OF a flying moth within a period Of
fifteen or twenty days. Many apples
examined show the depreciation of the
worms which have already departed,
while in number of specimens of
wormy apples placed by me in glass
lars, the worms have been transform
ed into moths.
This plainly emphasizes the impor-
lance of thorough spraying to kill the
crop of worms that will result from
eggs deposited by the moth now devel-
oping. This second brood will hatch
continuously during the next four
weeks and the worm. if unmolested,
will ruin the apples and pears that, up
to date, may be free from injury. The
work of these second crop worms is
apparent in the unsightly and damag-
ing holes found in the sides of winter
apples that may show no signs of in
ternal injury. Apples thus marked are
not only unsightly, but as totally I'M
fit for keeping as those which have
the worm inside.
Regarding the frequent expressions
of fear OF poison from eating sprayed
fruits, l desire to say the most ex-
haustive inquiry fails to discover any
where in the United States one single
instance of injury to man or beast from
eating sprayed fruits or vegetables,
Furthermore, all fear should be dis
PEELED by the announcement by the
chemists of the department of agri-
culture that in order to receive a fatal
dose Of arsenic from sprayed fruits. a
person must eat at least twelve bush
els of apples, recently sprayed, within
one day.
In the interest of Utah horticulture
and to the end that our fruit may re-
tain the justly high reputa ton for ex-
cellence already obtained it should be
the aim of every good citizen to do his
part toward the determination of all
orchard pests. There remains no room
for doubt as to the efficacy of spray
ing, the only condition being that the
work be thoroughly and persistently
done. Very respectfully,
j. A. WRIGHT,
President State Board of Horticulture.
Ogden, Utah, July II, 1886.
