The Stroke of Lightning.

DR.. Carl Muller, writing In Humn,el-
und Erde, declares that in Germany,
from 1879 to 1890, fifty six oaks, twenty
fir trees and three or four pines were
struck by lightning, but no beeches.
Yet seventy per cent. of the fore st
trees Of Germany are beeches, Ill per
cent. oaks, thirteen per cent. pines and
six per cent. frs. In other words, there
are nearly seven times as many beeches
as oaks. The beech seems, to the Doc
tor, immune" from lightning effects.
Also, he says, trees standing in the wet
ground are more liable to be struck
than those in dry; that trees with dead
limbs are more liable than those with
out, and that trees which are rich in
fatty matter and resin are more liable
than those which are not.

THINK 1T OVER.

Some Points for Farmers to Carefully
Consider.
Farmers who think that free silver
will help them get rid of their mort.
cages should consider carefully what
effect sixteen to one 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 loaning at low rates OF
interest as soon as we adopt the silver
standard. But suppose the schemes
should not work in the way they ex.
pect? Suppose that as soon as it be
comes likely that free coinage law
will be enacted there is general de
mand that all mortgages should al
once be paid in fulll The promise oil
cheap money when free silver comes
won 7 help you now. Where are you
going to get the money to pay of your
mortgagep Do you suppose any man
is going to make loans while there Is a
possibility of his being repaid in 80
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 thenp
Think these things over. Don't be
fooled by the free silver idea. that
cheap money means low rates of inter
est. The facts are just the other way.
Interest is far higherin oil silver using
countries than in gold countries. II
we 60 on the silver standard the men
who have capital to lend will charge
more interest than they do now in
order to cover the risk of being repaid
in deprecated silver dollars. So, If
you succeed in borrowing under free
coinage you llpay higher interest on
the loan. Ask anybody who kno we
the facts whether interest is not much
higher in Mexico, India or the silver
South American countries than in the
United States. England or Germany,
with their currency based on gold.
Then make up your mind that you
will vote for the financial system
which II left undisturbed will benefit
you far more than free silver will.

Resistance of Steel.

An experiment was recently made in
Vienna in order to test the relative re-
sistance, under pressure, of the hardest
steel and the hardest stone. Small
cubes of corundum and of the finest
steel were subjected to the test. The
corundum broke under the weight OF
six tons. but the steel resisted up to 42
tons. The steel split up with noise
like the report of a gun, breaking into u
powder and sending sparks in every
direction which bored their way into
the machine like shot.

CARLOADS OF FARMERS

Maj. Mckinley 3 response was repeated
ly interrupted with applause. and it
was quite lengthy. He said the hard.
ships of the American farmers came
from too many competitors over the
whole world. They also came from
the fact that the farmers best custom
ers, the American workingmen, had
been largely out of work for the past
three years. The Republican party
could not dispose of the competitors,
but it could help the American market
for the farmer. The home market,
under protection, consumed 95 per cent.
OF American agricultural products.
de said that the home market is the
best market; that the factory was the
farmers best friends; that prosperity
had come to the farmer through the
factories and not through the mints.

vote. In 1892 they had stood firmly
and Loyalty against free trade. They
would stand against free trade and II ee
silver this year. That to lower the
standard of value would not give the
farmer any actual gain, but the panic
of free trade and free silver policy
would but add to the hardships of the
last three years. He quoted from the
presidential messages of Fillmore,
Jackson and Buchanan to show that a
low tariff policy had always worked to
the hardships of agriculture. He said
free silver would not cure over produc.
ton of farm products or the under con-
sumption of the American people. Free
silver would not close the wheat fields
of Russia, India or the Argentine Re-
public. That the farmer, as we'll as
the workingman, wanted his pay in an
honest dollar.

WOULD HURT INSTEAD OF HELP.
How Fres Coinage Would Injure the
Farmers.

How Fres Coinage Would Injure the
Farmers.
The chief strength OF the sixteen to
one agitation lies in the belief that it
would benefit the agricultural classes.
This is serious error. The facts of
all human experience show ws conclusive.
ly that free silver would cause wide.
spread and prolonged injury to the
farmers of this country.
The mere threat OF free coinage would
greatly injure the farmers by causing
an immediate calling in of all loans
through the natural desire of lenders to
get back money worth as much as they
lent. Hundreds Of thousands Of farmers
would be unable to pay their mort.
cages, and their farms would be sold
at sacrifice. No new loans would be
forthcoming, as the owners of capital
would not invest so long as there was
any danger that by a change in the
money standard the value OF loans
would be cut in two. AS the chief
complaint of the farmers now is that
interest is two high and capital too
scarce, the effect of policy which
would make capital scarcer and dearer
can be figured out by each farmer for
himself.
A second way in which free coinage
would hurt agriculture would be by
the financial panic which would inevi.
tably follow the overthrow of our pres
ent sound financial system and the
adoption of the unstable cheap silver
standard. With the millions OF bank
depositors demanding their savins 20, the
machinery of credits, by which 80 large
part of the country's business is done
would be suddenly stopped. Merchants
would be unable to buy goods for lack
of credit; manufacturing industries
would be closed down, as in 1893, and
millions Of workers will be idle. Men
out OF employment do not buy as much
farm products as when they are at
work, and the farmers who now com.
plain of the lack of markets for their
produce would find themselves with a
large part of their crops unsold. Would
not this be serious injury to agricul-
ture.
Another evil which free coinage
would bring to American farmers
would be the unsettlement of their
trade relations with the great gold
standard commercial nations, which
purchase each year 100000, 900 worth
OF our surplus farm products. The
adoption of the silver standard, with
its constantly fluctu ating scale of
prices, would prove the same barrier to
commerce between this and other
countries that it has to trade between
gold standard Europe and India, China
and Japan. Do the farmers want to
curtail and unsettle our foreign trade.
These are some of the ways in which
free coinage at sixteen to one would
hurt the farmers No advocate of the
53 cent dollars has ever been able to
show single way in which it would
help them.
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1896-09-02
Legal Ratios Can Not Fix Values.

While the advocates of free coinage
are loudly asserting the power of the
Government to raise the bullion value
of silver from thirty to one to sixteen
to one Of gold they at the same time
publish facts which prove the very re
serve of their claim. Thus they boast
that for the twenty years previous to
1878, the year of the alleged crime, the
value of silver bullion ranged from
three to ten cents per ounce above it's
coinage value-in other words, the sil
YER in dollar" coin was worth three
or four cents more than a dollar. Now
the preachers of prosperity through
legislation say that it is the law that
fixes the value of the money metals,
and that II the United States alone
opened its mints for the free coinage of
silver at sixteen to one the com ercial
value of gold would be exactly sixteen
times that of silver. That their asser-
ton is not true, and that the bullion
value of either metal can not be fixed
by law, is clearly shown by the facts
given above in regard to the complete
failure OF previous free coinage laws to
keep the real value of silver at ratio
of sixteen to one of gold.
