Coy. AltCeld at the Auditorium.

The Chicago Tribune speaking Of the
assemblage that greeted Governor Alt
geld at the Auditorium last Saturday
evening says: THE audience for the
most part was not of the sort usually
seen at the Auditorium" That is true.
There were no low-necked dresses and
costly opera robes in sight. The boxes
were not filled with bankers, and the
auditorium proper with rich merchants
posing as "workingmen" and repre-
sentatives Of labor But, as predicted
last week, the gathering was as respect
able as any ever seen within the walls
of that splendid building, which was
packed to the very dome. There may
possibly have been vacant seat here
and there, but there were hundreds
standing in the foyer, and N numbers it
surpassed the Carlisle meeting. An
even more significant fact is that the
audience was heartily III accord with
the speaker, while the most strenuous
efforts of the gold men to fill the house
with their friends utterly failed to give
Mr. Carlisle a sympathetic audience.
If any man thought for a moment that
the free silver issue was dead in Chi
cago, the Altgeld meeting should cause
him to revise his judgment.-National
Bimetallist.

Trade Conditions.

Still no revival and more excuses.
Dun's Review of Trade of the 18th says:
ut is now the middle of May, too late
for business to change materially until
the prospects of coming crops are as
sured, and definite share has been given
to the presidential contest by the con-
ventions. Until the future is more
clear, there will be prudent Gisinclina-
ton to produce much beyond orders,
or to order beyond immediate and GER
tain needs. If this waiting spirit pre-
walls two months longer, it will crowd
into the last half Of the year an enor-
nous business if the outlook is good.
For the present there is less business, on
the whole, than q year ago, though in
some branches more, and the delay fol-
lowing months of depression is to many
trying and the cause Of numerous fail
ures."
Ever since the repeal of the Sherman
law" the gold men have had prosperity
looming up ahead; but there was al
ways some little thing in the way.
First, we must have bond issue to re-
plenish the gold reserve and restore
confidence" Then it Was found that
the bond issue had itself created some
stringency which, however, would soon
pass away-just as soon as the gold
could be drawn out OF the treasury
again. Then another bond issue was
required to give more confidence"
Then more stringency and then more
bonds. Sometimes the weather was bad;
sometimes it was too fine. For the last
month or two the trouble has been
under consumption" and lack OF de-
mand for goods" Now the lack Of de-
mand continues, the season is too far
advanced, and no material improve
ment can bc looked for Until after the
conventions have been neld and crop
conditions assured. 1t will be more
than two months before all of the con-
ventions shall have been held, and VIC
can safely rely upon the ingenuity of
the trade experts to find Il small volume
of excuses by that time. Less business
upon the whole than there was year
ago, with good times coming con-
stantly ringing in our ears, Is condi-
ticn that should open peoples eyes.

How Little.

To show you, dear reader, how little
financial reform can come of free silver
coinage, alone, let us make a state
ment:
In round numbers our population
may be called 10000 900 people. 1t will
take about all the American product
of silver (after the arts are supplied)
to give each man, woman and child 81
per year.
That is, the coinage of $70000,0 900
per year would increase the amount of
money 81 per capita, per annum.
But the increase of population-from
births and from foreign immigration
will be about 100000 people per year,
and it will take S25, 000, 900 of new sill
yer to bring the newcomers up to the
present per capita Of, say $25 per head.
To simplify the argument, let us ad-
NIT that foreign silver will be dumped
on us sufficient for evening up-$25,-
100000 per year, we'll say
What would be the result?
Why, it would take 25 years, at the
rate of coinage we have mentioned, to
reach the $50 per capita limit that pop
ulists ask for.
And in 20 years hence, If the bust
ness of the country be doubled by that
time, as is probable, we shall be no
better off under free silver coinage
than We are at present-not bit.
Free silver coinage, from the very
necessities of the situation can be but
the beginning of financial and econo-
mic reform.
Figure it out for yourself.-Nevada
Director.

The imports OF rice into the United
States for the eight months ending
March 1 were 4S,043 short tons, as
against 64,0S7 tons during the same
time the previous year. Included in
this were 22,255 tons Of clean rice,
against 1892 tons during the same
time the year before. There were a.
600 tons of rice -four, rice meal and
broken rice imported, as against 23,141
tons the year before. The notable fea-
ture of these imports is the falling Off
in the imports Of cleaned rice from 49,
1872 tons in 1S94-95 to % ,255 tons during
the same period in 1856. The low
prices at which homegrown rice has
been selling seem to have had the effect
of diminishing the imports of Compel
ing rice to the extent of some $4,000
tons. Our annual consumtion of rice,
domestic and foreign, is estimated at
about 100000 to 10000 tons. These
reduced imports would seem to indi-
cate comparatively bare rice market
this summer and better prices than last
year when the new crop shall begin to
come in.

Mayor Schott is struggling to deter
mine whether or not firecracker is a
musical instrument. This problem
arises from the giving of an open air
concert in the park. The musicians con-
cluded their evenings performance with
the national hymn, America" and in
order to give the selection according to
the score, detailed two of their number
to shoot off firecrackers. Their is city
ordinance authorizing band concerts to
be given in the park, and also one for
bidding the exploding of firecrackers.
The firecrackers exploded, and a bold
policeman arrested the musicians. They
have pleaded not guilty, and will have
jury trial.

II the democratic platform demands
the reopening of the minis to silver, as
now seems likely, all the powers Of the
democratic CD administrator will be
used to compass the defeat of the dem
ocratic candidate. The prosperity to
accrue to the people under the adoption
of that policy would put in shameful
contrast the current results of the adj
ministrations policy
If the republican platform demands,
unequivocally, the re-opening OF the
minis to silver the democratic platform
will necessarily demand the same, and
the contest will be narrowed thereby to
a protective tariff against free trade.

of Seneca is pitiable. 1t is a town of
200 Inhabitants and is situated in a
valley. The water extended from bluff
to bluff and was from four to six feet
deep in every business house. Many
buildings were washed away. Two
were swept away at Neosio. but the
loss is slight. The damage to crops
and furniture is great, as many houses
were flooded The damage to Seneca
property will reach $500
