THE question before Congress
is, whether it is now safe and ex-
pedient to offer free coinage to the
the silver dollar OF 4I2H grains,
with the mints of the Latin Union
closed. and Germany not permit
ling silver to be coined as money,
At current rates OF silver, the
Tree coinage Of dollar containg
4IaH grams, worth in gold about
ninety-two cents, gives an iUsgih-
Hate pyeff to the owner of the bull
lion, enabling him to take ninety
two cents worth OF it TO the mint
and get It stamped as coin, and
force his neighbor to take il for a
full dollar, This is an undue and
unfair advantage which the Gov
ernment has no rightto give to the
owners of silver bullion, and which
defrauds the man who is forced to
take the dollar.

Mr.. Bryan asks fora short dol

We all know what short yard

dollar works the same way and no
other. A dollar, like yard stick,
is measure OF value, and the only
honest dollar, like the only honest

Figures Of Record versus Figures
of Rhetoric.

Mr.. Bryan at Newark, N. J.,
said; "Our opponents have del.
fed gold until they have forgotten
the best qualities OF money. They
have so worshipped 1t as a thing to
hold that they forget the necessity
OF moneyto serve as the standard
OF value, and as the measure OF de-
ferred payments. They are so anx-
ious to have great deal OF value
in very small quantity that they
have raised the value OF the dollar
until now it is almost beyond the
reach of the masses OF the people,
until soon they will have to enlarge
their magnifying glasses to see it
as i goes in its upward fight.
Ny friends, we are tired. Tired

medium OF deferred payment It is
now nothing but medium of de-
lc,red hope
There has been an enormous in
CT asc in the worlds supply of
gold during the past half century.
Previous 10 iS4I the production
seldom exceeded $40, 900, 600 a
year; since that time it has been
from SIoo, 900, 600 10 S2oo, 900, 600
a year, But Mr.. Bryan says gold
has become so scarce that il can
hardly be seen with a magnifying
glass. Had it appreciated so much
ia value as he asserts, or had it
increased at all, the interest for its
use would also have increased. But
in the past fifty years the rates of
interest to public as we'll as private
borrowers have fallen from one
fourth to one half throughout the
world.
Mr.. Bryan and his Populist as
sociates assume, nevertheless that
the supply OF gold has not kept pace
with the enormous increase OF the
worlds business, and that hence
gold has slightly risen in value.
That hole is stopped against them
by the fact that the increased sub.
stitution of bills Of exchange, checks
drafts, etc, for gold is one of the
most striking phenomena OF bust
ness IN the last fifty years. While
gold, aud paper currency as well,
has vastly increased, the use
for it in actual exchange has di-
minished in still greater degree.
How Mr. Bryan's flowers Of rhet-
oric wither and fade in the light of
truth How quickly does the
balloon dollar" OF his disordered
imagination collapse when punct-
ured by fact! There is not one
statement or assumption IN the
above quoted paragraphs, nor in
any of his speeches, concerning
the scarcity OF gold and the in
creased value of the dollar that is
not utterly refuted by evidence with
in the reach of everybody. The
want OF sincerity and truthfulness
in his communings with the peo-
pie, more deplorable than his ig-
norance, betrays his total unfitness
for the great Office Of President Of
the United States. II may be that he
is unconscious OF his extravagant
perversions Of the commonest facts
of current monetary history; but
whether unconscious or not, it
is manifest to all thinking people
that it would be stupendous po-
litical mistake to intrust such man
with this high responsibility. -

In answer to inquiries made by
the New York World, Ii Hung
Chang has explained that, although
silver and copper are used in
China as money to the exclusion of
gold, silver passes by weight, as
it did in the time of Moses, at its
bullion value. Practically it fol-
lows from this that China, though
using silver, is really doing busi-
ness on gold basis. There would
be no objection TO the use of un-
limited quantities of silver in the
United States after the Chinese
method, except its unwieldiness
and the instability of its value.

The question is asked, Why
should not a silver dollar under
free coinage buy as much as it
does now2 Because there is only
a limited number of the silver
dollars now in existence and the
government is able to keep them
equivalent to gold dollars. But If
all the world were permitted to
bring silver to the mints and get
silver dollars for every 37II
grams of it the government could
not keep this unlimited number OF
dollars at a parity, and, like those
OF Mexico, they would have to
circulate at the value of the bullion
they contain, and this at the pres
ent price of silver is about fifty
cents.

sou,b n.kot. and Irrigation.

The Dakota Farmer has issued a spe-
cial irrigation number. By illustra-
lions and by reports of actual trials it
is shown that the most marvellous re-
suits followed successful irrigation. Ac-
cording to all reports the supply Of wa
ter beneath the surface is unlimited.
It is estimated that the 10000 square
miles in the area stated with a single
well on each section that is, 10000 wells
on the whole area, could be flooded an
nually to a depth of 80 inches. while
ten inches of water supplied by bitches
is sufficient to mature crop, for every
bit of the water is utilized and none
runs to waste, carrying the fertile soil
of the hills with it, as is the case with
rain water. The population that such
an area could support under such
state of cultivation almost exceeds
comprehension. Six million people
could have ten acres each, or one mil
lion could have sixty acres each, and
a sixty acre farm under this intensive
cultivation would be as productive as
section in a state of nature.
This is by no means dream-picture.
It is believed to be possible. and that by
men who have given scientific study to
the question, and it has been already
realized in many places. The issue of
the Farmer referred to shows that all
over the basin farmers are sinking ar
tesian wells and constructing large res
ervoirs in which to store the water un-
til the proper time comes for its utili-
cation. What was once sun-dried re-
gion is becoming a region Of bitches and
lakes and ponds with vegetation and
fish and crops which do not depend
upon the uncertain clouds, but simply
on the ingenuity and industry of man.
What a relief it will be for farmers,
relief from anxiety in summer and
want in winter when they are no long
er compelled to look at the clouds.
That anxious, despairing look which
has been worn on the faces of SO many
farmers during the past few seasons in
the Missouri West will disappear
and give place to the look of content
ment and joy. The people of Dakota
are not only applying the water from
these wells to farming operations, but
to power for mills, large and small,
for sprinkling purposes, lighting and
every want of humanity. The same
we'll that raises the corn cuts it up
in the corn shredder or grinds the

When Planting an Orchard.

Dig the holes the proper depth and
level at the bottom, and large enough
that the roots may be Strengthened to
their full length by the hand. The
roots should lie equally divided as near
as can be done. The proper placing OF
the roots has much to do with the
growth and beauty of the tree. II the
roots are thrust into the ground
cramped, crooked, and without proper
care, the trees will grow in like man
ner, stunted, crooked and misshapen.
When the trees are placed in the mole,
the roots properly divided and straight
ened, a little fine earth should oe
shaken over the roots, the tree slight
~ raised so as to give the roots a ma
tural descent. The tree-top should in
cline to the west several inches, the
hole to be filled with fine earth and
firmly pressed, so as to hold the tree In
its proper place. The prevailing west
winds will soon bring the tree up to
perpendicular position, for if you Will
take the trouble to examine the orch
ards around you. YOU will find nearly
all the trees leaning to the east. This
is caused by the strong west winds.
The ground is prepared, the trees Sc

trees and ground. The tree tops should
be well formed by proper pruning. The
branches from the trunk should be at
or as near equal distances apart as 1t

ence more marked than in it's mode of
attacking the plant, and in this fact lie
valuable hints to the cultivator. 1t
has been assumed that because the
smut of wheat and oats can be pre-
vented by immersing the seed In hot
water or a solution of some fungiclde,
the same method is applicable to corn.
But it is not true and for the reason
that the method by which the corn
smut attacks the plant is very unlike
that Of most Of the other cereal smuts.
It has been found out at the Indiana
Experiment Station that the smut does
not attack the plant through the seed,
but like wheat rust it starts In the
leaves and stems, wherever the spores
are carried by the wind and find lodg-
ment and sufficient moisture to enable
them to terminate. The spores will
grow as soon as ripe, that is as soon
as the mass containing them turns
black, and they will also retain their
vitality for year or two in case con-
ditions for growth are not favorable.
It is evident from this that neither
tho time of planting nor the previous
condition or treatment of the seed Will
have any effect upon the amount OF
smut in the crop; and experiments al
ready carried out substantiate this de-
duction. It is equally evident that me-
neurological conditions will have de-
cided influence But the farmer cannot
control the weather.
Two things can be done to decrease
smut in corn. The growing crop can
b sprayed with suitable fungicide
and the entrance of the smut into the
plant prevented. That this can be
made effective is shown by the expert
ments of the Indiana station. But it
is an expensive and troublesome
method. The other, more convenient
but less thorough method, is to gath
er and destroy the smut, and thus
eventually rid the fields of it.
The bes. time to gather the smut is
Just before the ears silk, when the
fields should all be gone through and
every sign of smut removed. being
careful not to scatter it upon the
ground, or in any way let the spores
get free. The gatherings must be
burned or deeply buried to certainly
destroy the smut. One or more later
Gatherings should also be made. This
may be called clean culture, and II
persisted in for a1few years would re-
duce the annual production of smut
to an inconspicuous and harmless
amount. J. c. Arthur, Botanist.
