Mckinley is unquestionably the
man for the goldbug nomination,
unless there is cheating round the
board, which is not likely as the
"bugs" have everything in their

choice for two reasons. He is made
of the most pliable stuff and owes
all he has to the free gift from the
gold crowd, having become bank

These are the strong points in
McKinley's favor. He may attempt

Government Ownership.

works of the city and has reduced
the cost to consumers As per cent.
Bradford, England, under munic-
ipal ownership has reduced the
cost of gas Sc per cent. Two-thirds
of the municipalities of England
own their gas works.
In the United States the average
cost of electric lights in 131 cities
operated by individual or corporate
enterprise is 500 for 1000 candle
power arc lights. The average for
lights of that power in "a cities
owned and operated by municipal
tiles is $50.
The city of Paris gets its lights at
cost and $5,OO0,O00 year as the
city's share of the profits of the
lighting companies.
In Glasgow, Scotland, the aver
age of city railway fares is under
two cents-39 per cent only being
one cent fares and yet there was a
profit of Sill, 900 the first eleven
months of municipal ownership. In
Berlin yearly tickets on the street
railways sell for $3.50 that permit
the holder to go in and out of the
city distance of five miles as often
as may be desired, running aver
age of ten miles for one cent, and
yet a profit of 40 per cent is made
on the passenger traffic. In Aus
tralia the public ownership of rail
roads allows workingmen to ride
for one third of cent mile, while
first class fare for 1000 miles is
only $3.50.
Is it not strange in the light of
these undisputed facts practically
demonstrating the advantages of
government ownership of public
utilities that we find so many peo-
ple-who are otherwise intelligent,
scoffing at the idea of government
ownership of railways, telegraphs,
telephones, gas and electric light
ing plants?
Not one single instance can be
cited in this country where munic-
ipal ownership of gas and electric
plants and water works having
been tried has there been failure,
but ON the contrary the most salts
factory results have followed. In
every instance the plants have been
improved, the expense reduced,
efficiency of service increased with
a lowering of the cost to the con-
sumers, and yet providing a revenue
to the municipality.
Three fonrths of the railroads of
the country are under government
control-in the hands of receivers
as fully controlled and managed
as If owned by the government,
doctoring them up by overhauling
the track and rolling stock, paying
employees, etc, Is it not strange
that the government can take a
wrecked railway-one worn out
and run down, and in few years
make a good property out of it, and
yet we are told that the govern
ment caunot Own and operate the
railways just a little bit strange
isn't it? when you take a good
square look at it.-Sound Money.

Cuban sugar and Tobacco.

The economic collapse Of Cuba is re.
'ealed by few salient figures. Sugar
IL the chief article of export, and 60 per
cent. of the population live on its pro-
duction. In 1894 before the rebellion)
the total output of sugar was 1,o5O,OO0
tons. This season, up to April 30, only
10000 tons have been manufactured,
and 1.-THE total output for the year is es-
timated at less than 200.uo tons,' with
good luck Tobacco, the second great
staple of Cuban trade, is in a worse
plight than sugar. The normal produc-
ton is 450, 900 bales; 'stais year win see
only $4,000 bales in the market" In a
few weeks the cigar factories in Havana
will close their doors, which will throw
$4,000 men and women out of work
The value of the exports from Cuba is
calculated to have fallen in one year
from c ~ 900. 900 to 6 3,ooo, 900. No won
der merchants are OF opinion that
Cuba has received her death blow

Democratic Headquarters Deny the Charge

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-Assertions by the
Chicago papers that the democratic
national committee is hopelessly in

Every bill has been promptly paid,
said Kimbrongh Jones, son of the

while the committee is not rich it has
money to pay all bills that may be-
presented. The report is a lie from

Small Piles of Lumber Worth $4,000
and More-YaIue of a Log.
Lying In some of the great lumber
yards of New York and only showing
their value to the experts and the in

ests. In one single lumber yard 1T is
no uncommon thing to see a stock that
is valued at $4,000 or more. In one
block near the east river front there
is often s., 000,0 worth piled up in the
air or under the cover of rough sheds.
There are several hundred varieties
of fine woods brought each year into
New York, but of these only few are
known to commerce to any extent. Ma
hogany, French burl, rosewood, curly
ash, American quartered oak, figured
birch, black walnut, Circassian walnut
and satinwood are the fancy timber
varieties that sell the best, their prices
running from three to ten cents foot
for yeneers. These figures give no ade-
auate conception of values, until they
are examined carefully. But the calcu-
lation is simple one. A veneeris thin
strip cut from board by shaving ma
chine, 30 veneers being allowed to each
board of an inch thickness, the boards
of these costly woods running about
two feet in width. As a rule these
boards are eight 20 ten feet long, and
thus single veneer of mahogany two

by itself. from so cents to one dollar. A
double row of these veneers piled up
five feet high is worth easily s., 900.
These veneers, stacked up in piles in
the sheds, are SO brittle that the only
way of shipping them to furniture and
piano manufacturers is to pack them in
cases. A case usually holds 500 sheets.
or from $500 to $500 worth, and is so
heavy that the strength of from four to
six men, with rollers, is necessary te
get it upon a truck.
Even unvarnished and unpublished as
these rare woods are in the rough, the
patterns are easily visible and the de-
signs and veining are very beautiful.
Nearly all these woods are sold in VEN
GERS, for two reasons: first, they are too
costly to use solidly, and second, they
all have a tendency to warp. Next in
popularity to mahogany comes Ameri-
can figured walnut, from Kentucky,
West Virginia, Tennessee and the west
ern part of North Carolina. The finest
logs of this timber are to be found on
the slopes of the Blue Ridge and Cum
berland mountains. So important is
it to get woods of fine patterns that
the leading walnut dealers inspect the
trees themselves before they are cut
down. They employ experienced woods
men to search over the whole region
where the best walnut lies for months
at time, and then. the finest trees hav-
ing been marked, the dealers leave the
city and travel through the woods on
horseback themselves, selecting the
most valuable trees, afterward buying
them from the farmers or the owners
