the United States itself? A. An
enormous increase.

the United States itself? A. An
enormous increase.
Q. How large? A. In 1875 there
we're 26, 3S1 ,512 acres of wheat cult
waited in this country; in 1891 there
we're 80, 916,S97, an increase of so
per cent. The yield in 1875 292,-
1876, 900 bushels, heavy increase
over preceding years. In 1891 the
yield was GIL. 100000. Even last
year with a great reduced acreage
and partial crop failure, the yield
was 467.1 bushels.
Q. Has the yield of other crops
increased CORRESPONDENCE? A. 1t
has.
Q. Give instances. A. The cult
waited area of corn in the United
States in 1871 was 81, 091, 134 acres !;
in 1891 it was 76,240, 515; increase,
1874 per cent The yield of corn last
year was double that of any year
prior to 1875. Both the acreage and
the average annual yield of oats
doubled since 1871. Our cotton crop
in 1894 was five per cent greater
than in any other year prior to
1877.
@. Was a decline in grain and cot
ton prices, under such conditions, in
evitable? A. AS inevitable as a de-
cline in the price OF clothing, or furni-
ture, or books, or steel rails, or pins,
when competition in their manu-
facture has extended enormously.
@. Would free coinage help the
producers of grain to a larger profit,
under such conditions? A, Not in
the least.
@. Why not2 A. Because if the
nominal price were to raise through
imitation of the currency, the price of
everything else would rise also, and
the farmer would be relatively no
better off than be was before.
@. Do the free coinage advocates
use in their speeches these statistical
facts which we have explained? A..
They do not.
@. Can the subject be understood
without examining them? A. 1t
cannot; the whole question rests on
these facts regarding money and pro-
duction.
@. Why do the free coinage speak
ers not use the facts and figures? A.
Because the facts and figures are
against them.
O. Is there any dispute over the
truth of the figures quoted in these
answers? A. They are undisputed,
even by free coinage men. They are
taken from the reports of the United
States treasury, of the department
of agriculture, of the director of the
United States mint, of the United
States Bureau of Statistics, of the
British Board of Trade; all of them
in their respective spheres, the high
est known authorities.-New York

they exhibit total ignorance of thu
rules of composition, and commonly
they convey commonplace thoughts

The great cry of the silver men is
that prices will be restored in the
event of free coinage. They assume
that there is no doubt about the
proposition. Will they apply their
balm to all prices? How would the
workingmen relish the idea of paying
the old price of 1876 cents a pound
for sugar, 1916 a gallon for oil, or
$1.14 yard for a carpet that can
now be bought for forty cents, or
twelve cents yard for calico? Those
we're the prices in 1872. Let the
thrifty housewife go through the list
of necessities and compare the prices
of 1871 with the prices of 1896; and
while we are on this subject of com
parison it might be well for the work
ingmen to do some figuring and COM
pare his wages, manner of living and
comforts in 1896 with those of 1872.

CUBAN AFFAIRS.
The Situation from a spanish Point of
View.

In a personal letter to a friend,
Miss Alice Bushee writes from San
Sebastian concerning the Spanish
situation, and also encloses a trans
lation of an editorial in a recent San
Sebastian paper which gives an in
side view of Spanish affairs, not easy
for Americans to obtain. While the
editorial was written for Spain. not
America, the view of the Spanish sit
uation from Spanish point is worth
knowing by those who take an inter-
est in the Spanish Cuban war, and
we therefore publish it herewith =
"The notices from Cuba are sor-
rowful to the last degree. A disaster
in the river Canto, in which the insur-
rectionists obtained control of ship
and sunk her to the bottom; another
disaster in Sagua-a telegram at the
last hour-where handful of brave
men succumb to a number of the
rebels; the climate making ravages,
and in all parts the vomit causing
more victims than the bullet of the
rebels.
"Dismal situation, doubly agoniz-
ing because in the meantime we see
nothing here which may console and
animate, and we see much which
causes Indignation and rebellion.
While we receive from Cuba these
sorrowful notices, which ought to
draw tears from the eyes, and which,
by their gravity, ought to awaken
the downcast national spirit in order
to arrive soon, very soon, to the end
of a war in which the brave Spanish
soldier has to fight against the ele-
ments of nature, more powerful than
the Mausser guns and Krupp cannon;
while there our sons and brothers
fight and shed their blood; here, in
what was once a sacred temple of the
laws the step-fathers of the country
go to actual blows as to whether
Nunez and Galvez Holguin are to
wear or not the honored toga of the
legislator. y

blows, challenges which end in acts,

Pinar del Rio without it's being pos
sible to make him come out of his
den, death and ruin spreading it's

"This is the situation of Spain.
"And the most grievous of all is
that the country tolerates with femi-
nine resignation such shame, when
in better times the half of what hap
pens to-day would have been enough
for the public Indignation to over
flow, imposing the law of its wishes.
"Those who in Cuba shed their
blood and die in hospitals, know it
already; the fathers and brothers of
those martyrs of duty know it al
ready; the fate of those, the honor
of the country is valued less by this
wretched government than the deeds
of Nunez or of Galvez Holguin; less
than the bad temper of MARTINEZ

In the fall of 1894 alittIe collection
of Scotch tales appeared in book
form under the title of "Beside the
Bonnie Brier Bush" The book was
we'll treated by the reviewers and
critics, and almost Immediately it
sprung into fame, the demand for it
becoming so great that edition after
edition was exhausted in rapid sue
cession. 1t soon came out that the
name Ian Maclaren was the nom de
guerre of the Rev. John Watson,
clergyman of the English Presbyter-
ian church at Seton Park, who, in
his earlier days, had been in charge
of Scotch parish, and these stories
were simply sketches of various
Scotch types, written by one who,
unknown to himself, possessed a mar
velous faculty of controlling the emo
tions of his readers. No one was
more surprised at the success and the
enormous sale of the Bonnie Brier
Bush" than the author himself. As
a result "The Days of Auld Lang
| Syne soon IOllOWeu anu was LIKEWISE
enthusiastically received.
The Rev. John Watson is tall,
strongly built man, with clearly
carved, decisive features and steady,
alert blue eyes. He is of an extreme
ly genial temperament, and, since the
renown which has come to him
through his literary successes, he has
developed into an unusually clever
after-dinner speaker. In converse
ton he is witty and bright, with a
never ending fund of stories at his
tongues end. The slight Scotch ac-
cent with which he speaks adds
greatly to their effectiveness. In
order to devote his whole time to lit
erature the author has given up the
ministry. A complete novel from
his pen is now running serially in the
"Bookman." Arrangements have
been made for Ian Maclaren to make
ecturing tour in this country dur.
ing the fall, and, as he is extremely
popular as an author on this side
and more than usually well qualified
from his ministerial training to he q
reader and lecturer, his reception
should be a cordial and hearty one.
