THE HAMMER TEST.

What is known as the hammer test
on coin is becoming quite popular in
some of the eastern states. One free
silver speaker in Boston took a gold
dollar and hammered it until its own
mother, if it had a mother, wouldn't
have known it, and then took it to a
broker and asked him how much he
would give him for it. He said that all
he could give was sixty-five cents. The
Boston Herald had an editorial upon
the subject, which brought forth from
a correspondent the question whether
the hammer test was not a penal Of
Tense against the laws of the United
States against mutilating United States
coin OF currency. The Herald quotes
the provision against such mutilation
(section 5459 of the revised statutes
of the United States, and adds:
The purpose of the law is to pre-
vent the impairment of coin that is
intended to be kept in circulation. The
hammer test converts coin into bull
lion, and effectually destroys its power
of circulation until it shall have again
passed through the mint. Such con-
version is not illegal. Quite the re-
verse. Aesi
If the hammer test converts coin
into bullion, and effectually destroys
it's power of circulation until it shall
have again passed through the mint, is
not the Acknowledgement of this fact
in reality concession of the conten-
ton of the silver men that it is the
mint stamp giving it its legal tender
quality that gives its great value to
gold as money? It's the depriving of
all silver but a limited amount of this
mint stamp that has caused the great
disparity between the legal ratio of
silver to gold and the commercial ra-
ito. The hammer test has disproved
the gold argument.

IN CALIFORNIA.

There is a class of people who go
down to San Francisco and, after talk
ing with some bankers. brokers' and
Southern Pacific men, rush back home
proclaiming their belief that the state
will go for Mckinley. Those, however,
who travel through the state and in
vestigate conditions carefully, do not
hesitate to say that Bryan will carry
it by large majority. The conclusion
of this class is corrohorated by a
statement made by Los Angeles man
in an interview published in the Den
yer Republican. He said:
Since the nominations were made by
the national conventions of the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties | have
visited nearly every county in Califor-
MIA several times, and 1 believe that
the state will go for Bryan by a
larger majority than is expected by
most persons at the present time The
other day / dined with ex-Attorney-
General Hart OF Sacramento, who is
outspoken for Mckinley, and he con-
coded the state to Bryan by major
ity of $4,000. The Republicans have
abandoned all hope of the state, as if
mense Bryan majority. In Los An
geles We have a Republican Bryan Sill
yer club with something near 4,O00
members, and every member is a Re-
publican. 1t is generally conceded that
Los Angeles county will give Bryan a.
majority of 5000, and it has always
been>a very strong Republican county.
The Democrats claim the county by
5000 majority. The total vote is about
ceded to Bryan by a very large major
ity. The portions of the northern part
of the state which have visited have
always been Democratic and I didn't
hear much While there for it is con-
sidered as foregone conclusion that
Bryan will sweep that part of the state.
l have never seen SO much enthusi-
asm in any campaign in any state as
there is in California now
Yet the Republican managers profess
to think they have chance to secure
California's electoral vote Why they
think so, if they really do entertain
any such belief. is difficult to under
stand. The state has been for free
coinage for years. Both parties and
all the leading papers have advocated
the policy. So universal has been the
sentiment that local Republican speak
ers are nearly all on record for free
coinage, and their records constantly
confront them. NJ. NJ. Estee, for in
stance, made a free silver speech only
in May last that is now distributed at
every meeting he addresses. The San
Francisco Republican papers, though
they now support the gold party. for
merly taught free coinage; they have
not been able to present any good rea-
son for their desertion of the cause.
and they have thus stripped them
selves OF their influence. 1t is impossi-
Bile to believe that the result Of the
teaching of years could be reversed in
few months by speakers and teach
ers who cannot explain their own
change of front. This view is borne
out by the observations of those who
have studied the situation, and we may.

THE WHEAT BULGE.


In connection with the bulge in
wheat and the political feature OF the
rise, a Chicago special to the Denver
Republican says:
Mr.. Hanna has reason to be proud
Of the assistance given him by the
RotLisc-s4ids, Tor they have come TO the
rescue of the local market by this latest
advance. 1t was greatly needed, for
the local crowd began to wonder how
they would DISPOSE of the wheat bought
at a fancy price without a break.
Wheat was statistically strong. This
was learned earlier in the season. and
the visit of President Baker to England
last summer confirmed the fact On
his return q great plunge was made
by the bulls. The opportunity was a
most favorable one. Trade was terribly
dull, and the bears were talking of so
cent wheat. The English syndicates
which were vitality interested in Ameri-
can politics realized the situation.
Wall street. like Barkis, was willing.
San Francisco helped, and the private
warehouses did the rest. That's the
story of the advance in nutshell, and
If any one doubtc these facts, let him
refer to the leading partisan local
papers for confirmation. Never in the
history of the trade has a bull market
been so widely advertised as during the
recent bulge.
Sometime the facts about this specu-
lation win come out, and it is possible
it will be found to have been carefully
timed and that it was engineered about
as stated by the Chicago correspondent
There were reasons why some advance
should occur, and all the speculative
agencies were willing to assist in a
concerted effort at a time when a rise
might influence the result of the cleo
ton. This explains how it was that 1t
was confdentially whispered about
three weeks ago among those closely
Identified with the Mckinley campaign
that there was to be a big rise, and
it explains the unusual fuss made over
it from the start by the Mckinley
press.
But, whatever the extent of the
political manipulation may have been,
the advance is a splendid good thing
for ell farmers who had not already
sold their wheat Farmers will thank
Mark Hanna for stirring up the market

manently higher prices

BouTwELL's FORESIGHT.

Some people claim great foresight
but usually prove their possession Of
it by citing facts after they have oc-
CURED. Such a one is ex-secretary of
the Treasury George S Boutwell,.
Speaking before the Twentieth Cen
fury club of Boston the other day, he
said:
l had come to believe at that time
that it was wise for every nation 10
recognize, establish and maintain the
gold standard He had reached the
conclusion that silver coull not be kept
on par with gold from the increased
facilities for the mining of silver. Tn
Ger these, instead Of an ounce of gold
being produced with equal facility to
the Is ounces Of silver. it was evident
TO him that so ounces of silver might
soon be mined with the labor required
to produce an ounce of gold. This led
him TO recommend that the silver dol
lad be excluded from the authorized
coins enumerated
People will not say that the ex-secre-
tary is falsifying facts, nor deny his
great power of seeing into the future,
but they will smile incredulously.
which will answer every purpose. IF
he saw so much he should have told it
at the time, and not have kept mum.
The goldbugs never tire of telling how
there was no metallic money in the
country when silver was demonetized,
yet Mr.. Boutwell, says that he knew
that silver was to be so abundant that
it would become a drug in the market.
As the Springfield Republican says on
the subject:
Furthermore, Mr.. Boutwell,, as a
United States senator, was member
of the joint monetary commission of
1876, and he made minority report in
which he recommended international
action on the invitation of the United
States, to restore silver to full use as
a money metal. If he had favored re-
monetization because of an anticipated
alarming output of new silver, why
should he have favored steps to re-
monetize so dangerous a. metal as he
now says silver had grown to be in
his mind?
When Governor Boutwell, comes to
reflect on this matter, we. think he will
also deny to himself the provision now
claimed. AS it stands, his statement
tends to strengthen that silly but wide
spread belief that the decentralization
was the work of designing and
greedy plutocracy, which successfully
sought, through striking out the metal
of greater coming cheapness, to appre-
eiate the value of other money and
the burden of all debts
The fact is that Mr. Boutwell, has
got his foresight and his hindsight all
mixed up.

of their wants and by vicious social
customs respecting dress and appear
ance.
If this be true. then it is greatly to
be regretted no matter where it may
Occur 1t is the opinion Of the Sun
that some relief might be obtained by
depressing the disposition TO ostenta-
tious display in the construction and
fitting up of school buildings and by
1iscouraging exhibitions of vanity in
the matter of dress on the part of
pupils.
We cannot think that beautiful
school houses have a tendency to drive
children from school, but on the con-
trary we believe they have very
beneficial influence upon pupils. In
fact it is a valuable part of their edu-
cation the same as all architecture is,
if it be architecture and not the mere
piling of masses of stone and brick
upon masses of stone and brick.
Exhibitions of vanity in the matter
of dress on the part of pupils should
be discouraged. And if these exhibi-
tons are the exception and not the
rule, the public opinion of several hun
dred pupils win discourage them pretty
effectually.
Without authentic statistics we
should be very much inclined to doubt
that illiteracy is on the increase among
American children.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-10-22
INCREASE OFF ILLITERAcY.

The Baltimore Sun says that COM
plants are made in various commune
ties throughout the country that the
proportion of illiterates to the whole
population is increasing. 1t would
naturally be supposed that if there is
an increase of illiteracy in the country
it is due to the great influx of foreign
ers, but the Sun says that this is not
the case. 1t says that in some of the
larger cities the increase in the num-
Der of illiterates may fairly be ascribed
to the oyerreaching ambition of peda-
gogues, the vanity and pride of school
directors, and the resulting Customs
established among the pupils; that in
some communities the lower schools
are more or less neglected that higher
education may be provided for the few.
and that the town or city may gain dis
tinction by the character of the build
ings provided for high or normal
schools; that there is a similar ten
dency to build costly schooIhouses for
all grades, in which the poor girl or boy
feels out of place.
In our free common school system
of education the primary and secondary
schools are of far more Importance
than those for the higher education:
not that these latter are not of great
Importance. but because the great mass
of the children of American parents
never pass beyond the graded schools.
The education there given should be
of the very best and to it the most at
tention devoted, for that education is
the education of the great majority of
the American people.
The Sun goes on to say that in our
cities. at least, in spite of free public
schools and in spite, in some cases. of
compulsory education laws. we are
getting back to something resembling
the monopoly of education by the rich
which prevailed in olden times, only
that our aristocracy of wealth en-
braces very much more numerous
class and includes what in Europe
would be called the middle class. II
further says the poor are being shut
out Of our schools. not merely by their
poverty, which compels them to go to
work at7an early age, but by disregard

The morning after the Republican
county convention the Tribune said:
"Mr. Reese strikes as too light timber
for county clerk" That is exactly the
conclusion the people have come to on
the matter; they know that Mr.. Reese
is too light timber, while Mr. Dunbar,
the Democratic candidate, fully meas
ures up to the requirements of the
Office, and they will therefore vote for
the latter.
