THE LOCAL INDUSTRIES
SEVERAL orr THEM FIND BUSINESS
A LITTLE IMPROVED.
Collections, However, Are Quite Back
ward and the Credit of Customers
More Carefully Scrutinized.

Below is given a brief review of trade
conditions with several of the prominent
manufacturers of Indianapolis:
William Dugdale, president of the Dug
dale Can Company, states that it has had
a very successful year, considering the de-
preston generally in business. The season
will close in about two weeks but up to this
time the works, which are among the lar
gest in the country have been running
to about their full capacity. The last few
weeks there has been an unusual demand
for the goods they make, for so late in the
season
Thomas Madden, president of the Madden
Lounge Company, says its business would
be good enough if collections Were all right.
AS matters now stand, a manufacturer, if
out in goods and be in a hole as the
banks will not help him out. Consequently
they scan orders sent in closely and fill
only those where it is known that the
money will be forthcoming when due. The
company is running about half its good
times force.
b d. Walcott. president of the Indian
apolis terra-cotta works, says they are busy
and have their full complement of forty
seven men at work, having been more for
tunate than other manufacturers in Sc
curing some good contracts at CINCINNATI
orders fo keen the bisv ninefv days
Charles ID. Jenney, vice president of the
Jenney Motor Company. states that in the
last thirty days business with his company
has greatly improved, and it Snow run
ming full handed and overtime. He does
not know whether the Improvement has
come TO stay or is only q little squirt in
business, as for some months past business
was slow with the company.
ID. Nj. Parry, president of the Parry Man
ufacturng Company says his business IS
better than at the corresponding period
manufactures must be more careful than
heretofore as to whom he credits, but as
rule their customers are paying up with
commendable promptness. OF late the, COM

A FEW WORDS TO WORKERS
Result of Coinage of Gold and Silver
as shown by Experience.

Gentlemen: Our fathers were bimetal-
lists, as were England and other CONNER
cia! nations at that time. Their purpose
was to have the coins of each metal of
exactly the value indicated by their name
IL they had tried but one metal money or
II there had been two metals of equal val
ue. the matter would have presented no
difficulty or disappointment; but neither
was the case. There were two metals of
unequal value and the inequality constant
ly changing. In order therefore. to have
all coins honest and keep both metals in
circulation, the ratio must be exact not
changing with every variation in market
value. This was impossible. AS well think
to maintain the relative value of wheat and
potatoes or any other two articles.
:. The coinage law of our fathers estab-
metals fifteen of silver to of gold
ana so the legal ratio remained for forty
values, cannot be established nor main
tanned by legal enactment and the real ra-
ito was different in favor of gold. and
there resulted. practically if not actually
no COLO coined and none in circulation. The
clnerence was only about one-half grain
of silver, not quite 2 per cent; but who
would sell gold to Uncle Sam for per
cent less than he could get from Others
and who would exchange gold dollar for
one worth per cent. less? In eagle
the difference would amount to about 20
cents and gold did not circulate. Why,
even so SIlgnt q dl1e ference IN value as that
between new coin and one slightly worn
took our silver dollars from circulation, and
in 1906 its coinage was stopped by order
of good old father of Democracy" Thorn
as Jefferson, and until 1884 we had a dollar
standard with only silver circulation
mostly in foreign coins, in very insufficient
quantities for business purposes. In 1894
the legal ratio was changed the value of
one grain of silver, making 1t as at present,
10 to l, only one-fifteenth of grain less
of gold And prestoi Change! The for
mer conditions were reversed. We were
still nominally bimetallic nation. with two
standards of value, with only one metal in
circulation; but this time 1t was gold The
real difference in value was only about one
thirtieth of a grain of gold but it re-
manned. and the more valuable withdrew
from circulation--so completely SO. that. in
1858, it was found necessary to reduce the
proportion of silver in quarters halves and
dimes much below their nominal value
making them subsidiary coins, a legal ten
der only for S. for any one debt. This APP
parent dem onetZation was the only means
of maintaining silver in our circulation. 1t
had been demonstrated impossible to have
the two standards and both metals at the
same time. The free coinage failed to give
a dual metal currency, it failed to give a
uniform money and it failed to give suffi-
cient of either. Why, then. change our
present system, which gives abundance of

The Free-SiIyer Boomer.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
We have met the free-silver boomer in

sembles the real-estate boomer who painted

it was climate they were selling, and lots
of earth; now it is ore Il orn the bowels of
the earth and also sulphur and birthstone,

The passions are invoked and reason is de-
rided. The arithmetic teaches that ten
mills make one cent; yet there mills;
they have been demonetized, and no cry
arises from the Couchee-couchee party or
their leader. If mills were coined, in six
months after a glass of beer could be OBJ
tanned for ~ cents.and beer is food to
many. Let the workingman first vote for
Mckinley, and when he is elected ask for
the coming of mills. Then will have
