OBJECT LESSON FOR FARMERS
Given by Gov. Boies, Shows that Bet

(Editor Waterloo Tribune.

w
DEAR SIR:-A few days since l read
in the Tribune what was termed an
s'Object Lesson substantially as fol-
lows:
"While in the City of Mexico, Mr..
A. b. Allen recently went into a bank
to get a draft on New York for $500
cashed. The bank took his draft and
counted him out in exchange for it
$182.50 in Mexican money.
This lesson teaches as the Tribune
intended it should, that 500 in IN
tied States currency, based on gold
standard is equal i'll value, that is in
purchasing power when exchanged
for other property TO 1882 so of Me1i-
can money which is based on silver
standard.
In other words, that $4,000 in gold
standard countries will buy as much
of the products of labor as 1882. 80 will
buy in silver standard.
1t follows therefore, from the Tri
bune's view that the man who pro-
duces commodities for sale (agricul-
tural or otherwise) sufficient to bring
him 800 under u gold standard sys-
tenn of currency could sell the same
commodities under silver standard
for 1882 SO. and it also shows accord
ing to the same view that the pro-
Queer of these commodities could
with the price received for them pay
a debt of 500 in the gold standard
country and $1S2.50 in the silver
standard country.
Now let us take these facts as the
Tribune claims them to exist and APP
ply them to the one industry in Iowa
upon which every other branch of in
dustry In the state is dependent for
success, to wit, our agricultural in
dustry.
The following parallel columns, one
marked Gold Prices" the other '.Sil-
yer Prices" shows the average prices
in the gold column which the farmers
of Iowa as a whole now receive for
their products as nearly as l can es-
innate the same, and that marked
Silver Prices" shows the prices they
would receive according to the Tri-
bune's view if silver is remonetized
and the financial system of the Uni
ted States thereby transferred from
a gold standard to silver standard,
as all gold standard advocates claim
it would be if the free coinage of
silver is authorized by law.

Gen. Harrison on Our Finances.

EX-President Harrison will discuss
our national finances in an article on
1.-The Secretary of the Treasury,
which will appear in tue August
issue of The Ladies' Home Journal.
He will tell briefly of the origin. OF
i'deven5pneh5; now tile nation raises
Its revenues, and disburses it's moneys:
and detail the faults of our system of
financiering. Referring to the
methods necessary to maintain our
gold reserve General Harrison ex-
presses himself with evident disap-
prevail. and says that 1.-The present
situation wolld be absurd if it were
not so serious" The increase or the
diminution of the gold Preserve, the
ex-President asserts, powerfully
affects every interest, and the mend
ing OF existing conditions will be a
task for the wisest and and strongest
craftsmanship"
The ex-President clearly intimates
that successfu]sfinancieringi is extrem-
ely difficult by the present methods.
Upon this point he says: IF fifty
dollars would suffice to hold $50, Goo
600 in the Treasury. the Secretary
could not expend that small sum. He
must stand by until the gold is gone,
and then sell bonds to get it back
The result is that the banks and the
brokers are often able to make play

ton whose board transacts it's bust

THE Er1SoorAL BISHOPS.

In another part of this issue will be
found a communication from Mr. Law
renee B. Ridgely, priest-in-charge of
st. PauPs chapel, in which he takes is
sue with an editorial that appeared in
these columns on Wednesday under the
caption Inaccurate and Incorporate, -
in which was discussed what was re-
garded as the inaccuracy Of statement
and the Incorporate utteuanceS of the
sixty-two Episcopal bishops. who lately
addressed a communication to the
powers of Europe on the subject of Ar
menian atrocities. We desire TO ex-
plain to Mr.. Ridgely, who comes to
the defense Of the bishops. that our
comments were based upon the regular
press dispatches of the day before
Tuesday-more especially upon the two
paragraphs which follow:
In their letter to the archbishop of
Canterbury, the bishops declare that a
crusade supported by Christians the
world over would be warranted, and
plead that the great church of England
through its episcopal head shall take
decisive action.
To the great powers they pray that
in the name of Christ they come to
the aid of the prosecuted brethren who
are suffering worse than the Roman
emperors ever prosecuted, worse than
the martyrs of the early church ever
endured.
Mr.. Ridgely denies (and reference to
the bishops letter made part of his
communication will show that he is
right in this) that the word Crusade"
is used in the bishops letter; but he
will observe that it is used in the dis
patch on which our comment is based.
He denies that in the bishops letter
(apd again he is right the statement
IS made that the Armenians are 'suf-
fering worse than the Roman emperors
ever prosecuted, worse than the mar
tyrs Of the early church ever endured:''
but he will see that it is in the dis
patch upon which our comment was
made
The Herald surely has no disposition
to attempt any justification of the out
RACES committed upon Christians in
Armenia; nor any disposition to cast
reflections upon the efforts of the good
people who seek to stay the hand of
the oppressor. But with only the dis
patch before us, which we took for
granted as a correct though condensed
statement of what the bishops had said
we think our comments were just
both as to accuracy and temperance of
what is there said, but the dispatch
was inaccurate and therefore mislead-
ing

THE GOLDEN ASS.

A very amusing and instructive in
cident occurred at the sub treasury in
New York in connection with the bond
sale last Monday. A member of a bull
lion brokerage firm desired to get gold
for his customers. For this purpose he
took greenbacks to the sub-treasury,
presented them, got the gold and de-
livered the same to his customers.
Three times he repeated the operation,
with never an objection from any one.
He attempted it fourth time. but not
50 successfully. The assistant treas
urer, Conrad n. Jordan, had his anger
aroused by the withdrawal of gold on
presentation of greenbacks. Such con-
duct was unbecoming patriotic
American citizen and in contravention
of the sound principles of finance as
laid down by the treasury officials
Now what did Conrad N Jordan do
when this bullion broker for fourth
time presented gold just withdrawn
from the treasury in payment of the
first installment on bonds subscribed
for? The assistant treasurer of the
United States refused to accept for
bonds the gold thus withdrawn! The
broker was very much astonished and
demanded the reason why he refused
to accept the gold Now, about the
most dangerous thing a man can do
when he does a thing he ought not to
do is to give a reason for his action.
Mr.. Jordan gave a reason for his ac-
ton, and he suited the words to the
action in a way that would have elic-
tied applause from Hamlet himself
The assistant treasurer of the United
States made the point that, while any
principal or representative of a prin-
cipal could not be prevented from
drawing gold on the presentation of
greenbacks, the government buildings
could not be utilized for the delivery
of gold by brokers to their customers"
How ridiculous, how petulant, how
puerile! Conrad N. Jordan simply made
an ass of himself, a golden ass If you
will, but still an ass. But the popular
bond issue is a great victory. SO was
the victory Of Blenheim, though little
Caspar could never understand why.

ENGLAND Will rnnsnar HEn oAsB

The Washington correspondent of the

will submit % the Venezuelan commits
sion copies OF all the records concern
ing the Guiana boundary dispute in the
possession of the foreign Office. Am
bassador Bayard could not have COM

Bile news to the department of state.
1t is practically a submission of Eng
lands claims to arbitration and it may
also be said to be a taut admission that
the Monroe doctrine applies. BY this
action England submits her claims on
their merits, a thing she can well afford
to do, if they are just There has been
much conjecture as to whether she
would in any way recognize the COM
mission, but the news that. Ambassa-

case, and it will give them a weight

what view of this decision of Ergland's

of its claims are just and susceptible

Great Britain's are. If the commission
finds that Venezuela is not entitled

do otherwise than gracefully submit
In the event of like result as to
England's claims, that country will
have to do the same, for by the very
act of presenting the evidence of their
claims to the commission they agree,
tacitly at least. to abide by its decision.
This whole boundary controversy,
with all its dangerous potentialities, is
now in a very fair way to be soon and
amicably settled to the satisfaction of
all concerned and the triumph of the
principle of arbitration.

THE NORTH POLE FOUND.

A telegram received at st. Peters,
berian trader has received information
that DIR. Nansen, the Norwegian eXplor-
er, has reached the north pole, has
found land there and is returning to
civilization. If that information shall
prove correct, DR.. hansen has proved
his title to fame and it is fixed for all
time.
The search for the north pole has had
a fascination for explorers that has
been irresistible. So early as the mid
die of the sixteenth century Sebastian
Cabot was a chief promoter of the
expedition which sailed under Hugh
WilIoughby and Richard Chancellor in
search OF the northern parts of the
| world. Later in the same century John
Davis discovered Gilberts sound There
We're a number of voyages Of discovery
to the north in the eighteenth century.
This century has been prolific of arctic
voyages. In the early part they were
made by Captain John Ross and Lieu
tenant Edward Parry, and Captain
David Buchan, and Lieutenant John
Franklin. In the forties Sir James
Ross and Sir John Franklin made their
famous voyages. In 1850 Mr.. GrinnelI
sent out the Advance and Rescue, COM
manded by Lieuterants De Haven and
Griffith, and accompanied by DR.. Kane,
in search of the Franklin expedition.
There have been other American expe-
ditions since then, notably those of
Lieutenant Schwatka, whose object was
to throw further light on the Franklin
expedition. Then there was the jean
nette expedition, fitted out by James
Gordon Bennett, and put under the
command of Lieutenant De Long, of
the United States navy. This was fol
lowed by the Greedy expedition.
What history of human pluck and
endurance all these expeditions tell.
And what so many brave men have
sought so long and for which they have
sacrificed so much has at last been
found by DR. Nansen, if this story from
Irllutsk be true. 1t is not uniting that
a descendent OF those old Norsemen
should have achieved the discovery of
the north pole. 1t was Norseman
who first saw the shores of America.
What sea kings they were! And if Dr.
hansen, in whose veins there no doubt
courses the blood of the Vikings, has
found the north pole, then his name
will be associated with those of Co
lurnbus and Magellan, while the Fran
is destined to become as famous as
the Santa Maria and the Victoria.

Speaking of the action of the house
on the Utah county election contests,
the Logan Journal says:
But the evidence when it got before
the house was so Overwhelmingly in
favor of the Democrats and so damn
able to the Republicans that they were
glad enough to let the matter drop
And the work of Republican leaders of
the Republican caucus and elections
committee was all undone because
there was no semblance of founda-
ton upon which to build their dishon-
est claims.
In fact, so flimsy was the case made
out against the Democrats, that only
five Republicans had the hardihood to
vote in favor of the preparation of so
grave wrong. Thus are the trumped
UP charges against Democrats pune
tured one by one. and thus is the
searchlight Of truth thrown upon al
legged frauds so that the people may
see who is at fault and which party
Is in the wrong.

why it does not pass except the slow

things. but If our impatient friend will

COMMENTS BY THE EDITORS.
Limit of pocket Money.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says gold is
not good pocket money and undertakes
to prove it by the argument that a man
would rather carry 500 in bills than in
gold. The defect in the argument is that
very few people carry 800 as pocket
money. In the average game in this coun-
try $40 is the lirnit.-San Francisco Call
