Although hampered for space, The
following special from Washington tt
to the Republic, dated March Sd. is o
such interest as to force it's way iutt
this column: 1.-The Secretary of Wal
has approved the recommendations %
Captain George F. Chase of the Thira
Cavalry, stationed at jefferson Bar
racks, for the purchase of 1,100 acres
of land for a rifle range in the Arcadia
Valley. This tract of land can be
ago Captain Chase was authorized by
the War Department to examine land
in sundry localities adjacent to st.
Louis with view of purchasing rifle
range for target practice. Captain
Chase spent several months in riding
over the country and finally secured
options near Arcadia, Mo-, on 1,1OO
acres in the Arcadia Valley, three
miles of low land with a mountainous
background. Secretary Lamont was
for time somewhat Indifferent to
making the purchase or recommend
ing it to Congress. as nearly every
great post in the country is desirous
of having rifle range attachment.
Most of the big posts, however. have
been putting in demands for an appro-
priation of from $50, 900 to 800, 900 to
buy the lands necessary for rife
range, but Captain Chase made bet
ter bargain and convinced the Secre-
1ary that it would be wise and expedi-
ent to recommend the immediate pur-
chase of the Arcadia Valley grounds
to Congress. The Secretary has writ
ten a communication to the Speaker
of the House recommending the pur-
chase, and it is probable that an item
will be placed in the sundry civil bill
appropriating the amount. Repre-
sentative Cobb will take charge of the
matter in the House and Senator Cock
rell in the Senate, and no doubt it will go.
Captain Chase's efforts in securing the
approval of the Secretary are worthy
of praise. Captain Chase, however,
came here with a record for services
performed in the field which entitled
him to the respectful hearing of the
Secretary of War. General Schofield.
the Commander of the army, in his re-
port for the year 1898. had this to say
regarding Captain Chase's services on
the Rio Grande border: The most ar
duous service which has been rendered
by the troops during the past year,
and in some sense the most important,
has been that required to suppress and
punish violations of the neutrality laws
between this country and Mexico. The
report of the Department Commander
gives full details of all the services
rendered and shows that the troops
were finally entirely successful in their
labors. l regard the troops in the De-
partment of Texas as deserving OF high
commendation for the manner in
which they have discharged this ardu-
Gus duty If the bill providing for
the purchase of the lands in Arcadia
for rife range as an adjunct to JEFF
ferson Barracks becomes law, as now
seems likely. to the intelligent efforts
of Captain Chase most of the credit
will be due"

The depths of love, Oh, who can tell!
That in mothers bosom dwell;

Control the impulse of the heart!
Around that heart they weave web

Or pierce as with a fiery dart.

Their fragrance to the world to give,
Yet linger long

In memory a sweet refrain.

Thus unalloyed

look at prices before that time. His whole

some one say something about money of

D cents, the nickel is the money OF ultimate

err than one hundred silver dollars, and so
do you.
1.-THE essential proposition OF my friend
is that, measured in farm products, the
gold dollar has appreciated. 1t is his
trouble with it is that 1t Is not true. The
last half century has produced more gold
than the four centuries preceding. The
natural result has followed / propose to
show that gold has fallen. The way to
measure IL is by the amount Of human
labor it will buy. Measured by the wages
paid to labor In 1860, taking the wages of
that year as 100 or the standard, the wages
paid in 1910 were but 81 per cent; in 1850,
92.7 per cent; in 1870, 162 per cent measured
In ~greenbacks, or in gold 133 per cent; in
1880, 141 per cent; in 1891, 1907 per cent,
This Is the best test OF the value OF the
dollar. My friend avoided entirely the test
Of the wages paid a laboring man, and
ask him point blank whether it isn't true?
Another Test
Of value OF money is the price we have tc
pay for its use. Every one knows that uI
10 within the last two or three years the
rates paid for the use Of money has been
constantly declining.
"My friends supreme argument is thai
the prices Of farm products have been fall

market of the Mississippi valley. Taking
the prices at Chicago of the four great
cereals since 1851 we find the following
prices prevailed:

when these figures were presented Mr..
McCleary was allowed to interrupt to point
out that they were prices at the point Of
export and then TO ask the question whether
the decrease in the rates of transportation
from the farm to the point of export had
had nothing to do with this decrease. Mr..
LIND admitted that ii had, but attempted
to parry the threatening puncture Of his
balloon by retorting that the men who had
built up the country and made Ii possible
for railroads to be built and to be operated
at a profit had IA just claim to the benefits
OF reduced rates. He then took up some OF
Prof. McCleary's points, answering them
briefly, and on the whole not very salts
factorily. He did not attack his price
figures with the exception Of the prices at
Mankhto, which he dismissed as unworthy
OF consideration. as during the earlier years
for which prices had been quoted there had
been no railroads TO Mankato. He said fur
ther and in brief:
The per capita circulation in this coun-
try now Is certainly larger than 1t was
when we had higher prices. but the i'll
being world wide, the remedy must be
world wide, and the prices must be raised

my opponent has failed absolutely to give
any reason why silver was demonetized.
He says gold has not appreciated and that
prices have not fallen in consequence. He
says wages have risen and that Is the
true test.
THE reason why LABOR has risen Is that
by the Introduction of improved machinery
and inventions labor has been made more
productive. 1t earns more and 1t ought to
get more wages. One reason why wages
were lower in 1860 and before than they
have been since was because there were
probably a million and more of slaves, who
lowered the average wage of the whole
country.
THE farmers wage Is fixed by the sur
plus of his crop. Generally speaking. IL the
farmer sells cheaper. he buys cheaper. The

Congressman McCleary was then intro
duced and was greeted as warmly as his
predecessor. His address was so full of
'meat' that scant justice can be done 1t
In any condensation of his remarks. He
said in brief:
Fellow-Citizens and Friends: My friend
has carefully concealed from view the rene
dy for the evils he has so graphically re-
vealeG. The fundamental complaint Is that
things don't cost so much as they used TO.
I remember that In 1870 a hand rake reaper
cost more than a selfb!nder does today.
l remember to have sold myself two har-
vesters that cost me $40 and S325. Calico
used 10 be % cents a yard. 1t Is now 4 or
8 cents, but we don't hear any complaint
about that sort Of falling prices.
81 was surprised at one Of his questions.
He asks you whether you would not like
things you don't have. He fails to distin-
guish between desire and a business de-
mand. He complains that the products OF
the farm are too low. Four years ago they
asked you to look at the high prices Of what
you bought and never said a word about
prices of what you sold. Now they call
your attention to the prices Of what you
sell, but never say n word about what you
buy.
