Squeezing the Life Blood

They Thrive on Financial
Trouble.
General Prosperity Would Be
Their Disaster.

The gold contractionists, who are
squeezing the life blood out Of the peo-
pie, depressing trade and continuing the
panic they commenced in 1898, are en-
deavoring to explain the hard times by
saying that they are result of 'want
of confidence This is refreshing i'm.
pudence from set of men who live up
on the destruction Of confidence and the
wrecking Of business enterprises. They
are the men who watch the treasury
gold reserve as buzzards watch dying
mules on the road, and who fill the ear
with croaking predictions that the ma
tional credit will suffer if it falls below
800, 900, 900. They are the men who
draw the gold out for export and then
sell the gold back to the government at
a premium to replenish the reserve.
They are the men who. cry down the
bonds Of the government SO that they
may buy them cheap.
They are the men who induce the
treasury department to put 500, 900, 900
of bonds on the market at one time in
order to lower the price, when ordinary
business prudence would dictate the
sale of the bonds in small lots, if at all,
and in advance of the necessity for
them, and without any flourish of trum.
pets. They are the men who advocate
the gold standard because they have
money to sell and want to make it dear.
:, As money becomes dearer property be-
comes cheaper. With prices constantly
falling capital is afraid to invest itself
in enterprises Farm products will not

Mark Hanna Says They Care Little About
 the Financial Question.
 CLEVELAND, O., June 27.-Mark Han na. the republican manager, does not think the silver question is a matter of great consideration to the working men, saying:
 The thousands of workingmen. who are em- ploved in the manufactories of this Country. do not care an iota about this question of free silver They say they do not, and it is apparent that what the industrial classes of America want is better times, dawn of pros- perity and some assurance that they will ere long receive better wages, or at least q stipend equal to that which they were getting before the financial depression which followed the democratic victory Of 1892. am convinced of the correctness of what am sayng because have talked with my men on this subject. have 5000 to G,0OO men in my employ and know by personal investigation that the men who are working in the shops and in the mines care little or nothing about the whole financial question. They recognize the fact that it is one of the issues of the cam rairn. but that is about as far as their interest

The Treasury Secretary Reiterates His
 Declaration About Tree Coinage.
 WASHINGTON, June 27. - Secretary Carlisle reiterated yesterday to a cor respondent the predictions which he made in his Chicago speech of disaster to follow the adoption of free coinage in this country without international agreement. Creditors will not wait for the actual passage of free coin. age law" he says, "but as soon as such measure receives the ap- proval of the people they will de. mand their money. and if not paid, will enforce collection by judicial pro. ceedings and sale of property. Payment of all obligations held abroad will be demanded in gold at once and every investment of foreign capital in this country will be withdrawn" Assist ant Secretary Curtis said: "The adoption of free coinage would have an immediate disastrous effect. All gold coin would certainly be hoarded, contracting largely the volume of the circulating medium. At the same time currency not redeemable in gold would rapidly depreciate in value. Interest rates for the use of money would rise very high and the usual cure for this condition, the sending of money from abroad, would be prevented by doubt IS to the value of money in which such loans would be repaid"

FARMERS ENCOURAGED.

Government Officials Certain That This
 Years Harvest VIII Yield Large Profits.
 WASHINGTON, June 27.-There is new hope for the farmers. The year 1898 promises to bring them rather better returns for their labor than last year and better than the year before The wheat crop of the country is sure to be the largest since 1892, and larger than the average of the last l6 years. This years wheat crop is unofficially esti. mated by the department of agricul. ture at 475,GO0,OO bushels. This has been exceeded only six times since 1880. The importance of the wheat crop to the farmer is not so much in the total yield as in its market value. According to the present outlook, the value of this years wheat crop will greatly exceed that O: the last three years. The department of agriculture does not presume to estimate the prices of any commodities in advance of the market, but unofficial information is to the effect that the average value of wheat this year is likely to be about 0t CCuts, hSdluSt Ol CeutS ldSt year, 4S cents in 1894, 54 cents in 1898 and 6a cents in 1899. If the estimate of 57 cents for this years crop be borne out by the market quotations during the remainder of the year, the total value of the 1896 wheat crop will be $27O,- OOO.OO
 The condition of spring wheat indi. cates prospective yield that closely approXimates full or normal crop, the average for the country being 99. per cent The average for the year 1895 was 97.s. The percentage of the combined winter and spring wheat acreage is 10l.7, and the condition of all wheat is s7.6.
 .As yet the government has no of. ficial returns on the corn crop, but un. official advices indicate normal crop, probably equal to last years large yield of 2,l5l. .OOO, GOO bushels. Prices are stiffening up trifle. and the out look for greater total value than last year is counted good. The outlook for oats, rye and barley is good.

WONDERFUL GARDEN.
At Least the Story About It Is Wonder.
 full Enough.


 full Enough.
 Most people have heard of the hang. ings gardens of Babylon. the modern roof gardens and the gardens or float ing islands in which vegetables used to be grown for the citizens of ancient Mexico, but probably few have heard of q garden on board ship, with farm yard attachment. The splendid ship Mowhan, now in port, and the largest vessel which has ever been here, had such an arrangement on board during her trip to Oregon. On leaving Belfast for Portland she took on board as bal- last 5000 tons of Irish soil. which, when leveled off, made quite stretch ot ground, and as the soil of Ireland is proverbially fertile the ships company proceeded to put it to good use by plant ing a stock of garden truck in if--cab- bages. leeks, turnips, radishes, lettuce, peas. beans, etc. The seeds came up all right and the plants fourished finely, and when the ship was in the tropics, grew with great rapidity. As they progressed towerd the Horn and the weather grew colder things came tn perfection rapidly. The crew and ships apprentices amused themselves by weeding and cultivating the plants and the captain and officers took regular walks in the garden daily and all had green vegetables to their hearts' content.
 As they came around the Horn the garden was replanted and by the time they reached the equator everything was abloom and all hands feasted on fresh vegetables daily. The only draw backs to the garden were the weeds. which grew so rapidly that they could hardly be kept down, and the drove of pigs, which were kept in the farmyard attachment, and which on several oc- casions,w when the ship was bucking into a nor'caster and rolling heavily, broke out of the bounds and made serious inroads on the garden. It is a serious matter to call all hands on board ship. when the pigs got into the garden thero was more pounding on forecastle scut- ties and handspikes and blowing of boatswain's whistles than if the ship had been laid aback by typhoon or all the masts had been carried away, and every sleeper was aroused to help get the pigs out of the garden.
 The last pig was killed and served up with green vegetables just before the Mowhan entered the Columbia. On the arrival of the Mowhan here the Irish soil was discharged on the elevator company's dock and piled up neatly. so that any exiled patriot who desired a bit of the "ould sod" can be accommC. dated. The pile will doubtless be cov- cred with shamrocks in the spring and will furnish boutonnieres for q whole St. Patrick's day procession. Doubt less many sack of it will be carried Of to fill flower pots. etc. Although it comes from the "black north" it' is still the real "ould sod."-Portland Ore gonian.
