THE GOLDEN CUP.

I dreamed I was walking in a beauti-
full valley and came to a great crowd
of people-men, women and children.
In the center Of the crowd was a clear,
sparkling spring. Over the spring was
an arch which bore this sign, The
Product of Labor" In the crowd were
many who seemed in great distress.
Some were moaning, some we're lying
still with looks of anguish on their
white faces, some seemed frantic with
pain and some had put an end to their
lives. I looked with horror on the
scene and 1 asked, What is the cause
of this suff3rIng9"
And they answered, I'VE r dying
of thirst"
"Why do you not drink Of the
spring9" I questioned in wonder.
And they said, eve have no golden
cup with which to dip the water, and
it is a law with US that no water shall
be taken from the spring except with a
golden cup, and the golden cups are
few and they are owned by a few men
who seem not to care that we perish
of thirst"
And I went away sick at heart

TOBACCO CROP.

Largest Yield Per Acre Ever Harvested
Years.
SPRINGFIELD Mass, August 10 Toe
American Agricultural, in it's issue of
this week, says: More than half of the
cigar leaf tobacco crop grown in the
United States has been safely housed
and up to date the returns show it to
be of the highest uniform quality and
largest yield per acre ever harvested.
There were %, 900 planters of the crop
this year, compared to 35, 900 in 1892,
while about g. GOO acres were devoted
to cigar leaf this year, compared to
100, 900 in 1892 This is exclusive Of
Florida, where leaf of particularly fine
quality has been produced by expert
enced native and Cuban planters. II
the new u~nharvested crop averages in
yield and quality with that already
cut, the American Agricultural ex-
poets the crop will equal $50, 900 acres.
The proportion of the crop suitable for
wrapper leaf promises to be large. The
on look for prices is better than for
several years-for old leaf-because of
the decreased supply and the increased
demand for this years crop bt cause of
it's promise of superb quality and com
pa~ratively small amount. Consump-
ton is on the increase, the taxes paid
for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1896,
being for 6. 1886, 600, 900 cigars and A.
400, 900, 900 cigarettes.
The American Agriculturist reports
Cuban stock Of old leaf as practically
exhausted and the crop this year must
be small. A large part of the wrapper
leaf grown in Sumatra has been unfit
for this market, owe 40 per cent. of the
imports Of these wrappers having been
shipped back to Europe during the past
year as not suited to the American de-
mand. Dealers are cautious in con-
tracing for the new crop. The general
tendency among dealers is to wait until
after the election.

TREASURY GOLD RESERVE.
Plan for Replenishment by Importation o
Gold.


Gold.
WASHINGTON, August 19.-The Treas
ury gold reserve at the close of bust
ness to day stood at $1O4 36I. O51. The
days Withdrawals were $l67 200. The
Treasury officials were informed of the
gold importing scheme at New York,
but had nothing to say respecting it.
NEW YORK. August 10. "A statement
that Lazard Freres intends to import
50, 600. 600 gold from London was the
main topic of discussion in Stock Elk
change circles this afternoon. The ar
nouucament caused a marked change
for the better at the Stock Exchange.
At the eff 70 of LIZ lrd Fceres, it was
said that the gold just ordered abroad
for shipment to New York was q pure,
ly business transaction and that the
deal shows them a profit. It is also
stated that the sum ordered is slightly
in excess of 50. 900, 900. It is stated that
bank presidents are discussing the ad-
visibility of replenishing the treasury
gold reserve in manner adopted in 1898
Conferences have been held conCinu
ously throughout the day.
There is a probability that plans will
be laid fo- the importation of between
sis. 900, 900 and 800, 600 of gold In 1898
the bankers decided to secure gold i'm
ports on Friday morning. The first
shipment was made on the steamer
sailing for this country on the follow
ing day, and on Monday a week later
the gold was in vaults in this city.

CUBAN WAR NEWS.

Advices OF the Last Expedition of the
Three Friends Spanish Soldiers Or
deTed to Kill ANY Cuban Who Claims
American Citizenship~-A Battle Near
Havana
KEY WEST, Fla, August 19.-Among
the passengers on the Mascotte to-night
wes Arturo E!vafz a member Of the
last expedition Of the Three Friends.
He reports that only seven members Of
the e. petition have been killed to date,
and five made prisoners. The balance,
abou5 forty, are with Gen. Aguirre,
neal Havana. He says that there is
much hatred expressed at the Ameri-
cans in and around Havana, and is in
formed that orders have been given to
kill any Cuban caught who claims
American citizenship. He also claims
to have witnessed the killing of young
Gown, who, he says, was first securely
bound and then hacked to pieces.
He reports a battle on the 176h near
Guanabacoa between Gen. Aguirre and
three thousand Spaniards under com
mand of Gen. Ochoa, the murderer of
young GOWN. The Spaniards lost u
killed.
Charles Gordon, one Of the last expe-
dition of the Three Friends, in the bat,
tie on the 18th, was picked out by the
Spanish shooters and narrowly escaped
death. His hat was pierced by three
bullets. So close was the firing that
Gordon seriously wounded the son of
Gen. Ochoa with a revolver.
HAVANA, August 10 1t is reported
from Artemesia that anumber of rebels
stopped a work train near Bacanagua
and attacked the military escort on
board of it. The latter, according to
their own story, made q gallant defence
for IS hours, when troops who had
been sent to their assistance arrived on
the scene and drove the rebels from
their position. The Spanish lost six
killed and twenty two wounded, in
Guiding a lieutenant. The rebel losses
are said to have been heavy. The train
was abandoned and was set on fire by
the rebels as soon as the troops retired.
A superior force of rebels under Clio
tide Garcia surrounded a body of
Spanish guerillas who we're employed
in protecting the laborers on the Guer-
roro estate near Banaquissez province
of Matanzas, and attacked them from
all points. The Spanish force was OBJ
liged to retreat, leaving behind them,
according to the eff ;ial report, twelve
dead, including the commanding
officer. Eight wounded men we're car
ried in the retreat by their comrades.
Advices from another source are to the
effect that the Spanish losses were
much larger than stated in the official
report.
Numerous rebel bands, believed to be
commanded by Maxine Gomez, at
tackled a convoy that was proceeding
from Canto to Bayamo under the escort
of Gen. Fernandez a fierce combat
ensued.
The troops used artillery, but the
rebels succeeded in forcing the escort
to retire and Captured the convoy. The
rebel loss is unknown. The Spanish
lost an officer and three privates killed,
a captain, surgeon and twenty-seven
privates seriously wounded and thirty
five others slightly wounded.

Very truly
D ?. DUNCAN

We hope Alliance agents, ginners
and merchants will at once place orders
for the wire ties. They have proven
satisfactory in every respect. The
Trust ties cost So 81 per hundred pounds
and the wire ties will cost but 50 40 per
hundred pounds, a saving OF 81 cents.
Every cotton State ought to adopt
the wire ties and let the Trust founder
along by itself. The outlook is that
the trust concerns will have many tons
of ties on hand by the end of the season.

Ths Word .Dollar."

According to one authority, the word
"dollar" is a corruption OF the German
word "thaler," the form in Dutch being
"daalder," Danish "daler," and Italian
"tallero." All these different forms
were derived from Joachim's Thai, q
Bohemian town where the count OF
Schlick, A. D. 1878, coined some excel
lent pieces in silver Of one ounce In
weight. "From the name OF the town
came Joachim's thaler, applied to the
above coins, as well as that o!
Schlickenthaler. Hence, Joachim's
thaler pieces were first contracted into
Joachim's thalers and then into thalers.
These coins gained such reputation
that they became pattern, so that
others of the same kind, though made
in other places, took the name, the word
assuming different spelling through the
low countries, reaching Spain as dol
lars, and through its provinces trans
mitted to the western hemisphere,
where it was applied to coins prior TO
the adoption OF the federal currency.
In coinage the word dollar" is a favor
lite, being found under various spell
lngs in almost every part of the globe

WOULD HvaT INSTEAD OF HELP.
How Free Coinage Would Injure the
Farmers

Farmers
The chief strength of the sixteen to
one agitation lies In the belief that II
would benefit the agricultural classes.
This is serious error. The facts OF
all human experience show conclusive
ly that free rilver would cause wide
spread and prolonged injury to tho
farmers Of this country.
The meye threat of free coinage would
greatly injure the farmers by causing
an immediate calling in of all loans
through the natural desire of lenders 70
get back mchey 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 az
a sacrifice. No new loans would be
Forthcoming, as the owners of capital
would not invest so long as there was
any danger that by change in tine
money standard the value of loans
would be cut In two. As the chief COM
plant OF the farmers now is that inter-
est 10 too Ugh and capital too scarce,
the effect Ct policy which would make
capital sctrcer and dearer can be
figured ou.hy each farmer for himself.
A seconi way in which free coinage
would hur. agriculture would be by the
financial panic which would inevitably
follow th overthrow Of our present
sound financial system and the adoption
Of the unstable cheap silver standard.
With the millions Of bank depositors
demnndinr their savings, the machinery
OF credits, by which so large part OF
the countfy's business is done, would be
suddenly Hoped. Merchants would be
unable tobuy goods for lack OF credit;
manufacturing industries would be
closed dokn, as in 1893, and millions
Of workef would be idle, Men out Of
employment do not buy as much farm
products when they are at work, AMI
the farm&s who now complain OF the
lack Of m rkets for their produce would
find themselves with large part OF
their crops unsold. Would not this be
serious injury to agriculture?
Another evil which free coinage would
bring to American farmers would be
the unsettlement OF their trade rela-
tions witi the great gold standard COM
merciM Nations, which purchase each
year 5000, 100000 worth Of our surplus
farm products. The adoption of the sill
ger stant with its constantly fluctu-
nting scale OF prices. would prove tho
same ba rier to commerce between this
and oth,r countries that II has to trade
betweenIg gold standard Europe and ln'
diu, Chi3a and Japan. DO the farmers
wunt to kurtail nnd unsettle our foreign
| trade?
Thes" are some OF the ways IN whlcn
free CT Aage at sixteen to one would
hurt I farmers. No advocate of j1-
cent d lrs has ever been able to show
a singlS way In which 1t would help
| them,
