MKINLEY, 243 BRYAN. 90.
RESULT OF A STRAW VOTE ON AN EXCURSION
TRAIN FROM PIERRE DAKOTA, TO

MINNEAPOLIS
James A. Blanchard, the wel-known lawyer of
this city. yesterday sent to The Tribune the fol-
lowing information
II a passenger excursion train from
Pierre, s. d., to the fair at Mnnea polls, and a
straw vote on the train was: Mckinley 2i5
Bryan, 90"
This vote may be taken a significant indication
of the political feeling in the West. most of the
men on the excursion train were presumably Dakota
farmers.

What Free Coinage Means.

The free and unlimited coinage
of silver means that neither the
President nor his Secretary of the
Treasury would be allowed any
longer to boycott tho four hun
dred and and twenty-eight mill
lions of standard silver dollars
now in existence. The power
that could re-establish silver coin
age would compel the use of silver
with gold in the redemption of
greenbacks. This would do away
with the false pretense that bonds
must be sold with which to buy
gold to redeem greenbacks. 1t
would remove the menace by the
gold gang that the legal tender
quality shall be taken away from
the vast amount of silver now in
existence. 1t would add enough
to the money in circulation in the
country each year to keep pace
with the increase of population
and the requirements for domestic
exchanges. 1t would make all the
silver bullion in the world worth
just as much as though it were al
ready coined into dollars. II
would stop greenbacks from being
presented for redemption at the
Treasury; the greed of gold specu-
lators would be offered silver
when they demand gold and they
would not want it. Free coinage
would guarantee the stability Of
the currency. The grinding con
traction now going on would cease
The borrowed surplus in the Trea

Japanese Cheap Labor.

In the recent issue of the Man.
ufacturer's Record some facts
concerning the cheap labor of ia
pan are given. The writer says
that from the windows of the rail-
way car Osaka might be taken for
Cleveland or even for Chicago on
account of it's innumerably tall
iron chimneys belching forth
black smoke, indicating the facto-
ry interests of the place. The city
is a network of canals laden with
bridges and boats of every kind
which relieve the streets consider
ably. The streets of Osaka are
literally packed with human be-
ings. Except in the modern mills
practically all the work is being
done by hand labor. One match
factory employs $500 hands. In
half a dozen different kinds of
employment involving twelve hours
work per day, from 6 A. M, to 9 P.
NJ, the average wages are less than
4 cents per day. Throwing out
some of the higher priced men
their average earnings are less
than q cents per day. The aver
age well-to-do lsborer will earn
from 10 to 121 cents per day, which
enable him to improve the charac-
ter and quantity of his food and to
buy some luxuries. Finally, it is
said to cost less than a dollar to
bury a man in good form, the aver
age cost being about 80 cents.
The wanderful ingenuity of the
Japanese, and their quickness in
adopting our Western ways and
our improved machines, certainly
suggests that they will soon bt
competitors of ours in various in
dustrial directions, With theil
competition must come q genera

tory tariff be adopted that shall 81

COTTON PROSPECTS.

The condition of the cotton CROP
of 1896, as shown by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, in it's bulle-
tin for the month ending June
80, shows remarkably high aver
ave. June is one of the crucial
months for cotton. and while dry
weather may have in some thin
land section injured the growing
crop. it has been of great benefit
TO it as a whole, for it is with a
dry June that cotton fiourishes
and forms.
The Report showed an average
condition of 92.5 per cent, which
though a fall from that of preced-
ing months is the highest June
showing on record, and it is to
conditions in that month we must
look for results.
Cotton, unlike corn, does mol

cription would no longer engage
in mere hand to mouth production,
but would manufacture for the re-

This would give work to those now

boring people themselves to buy
