Silver Coinage

If any one has a belief that large or small
coinage of silver had anything at all to
do in affecting the price of wheat, these
figures bring him to the conclusion that the
coinage of $39, 100000 in 1890, the largest year
of such coinage, forced the price of wheat
down to 92 cents. whereas the coinage Of
So, 600 in 1879, nearly the smallest years
coinage, forced wheat up to $1.H per bushel.
Then what will we do with the facts that
in 1889 we coined the next largest amount
of silver, and yet wheat went to the lowest
point in the twelve years; and the same Is
true Of corn, for in that year OF large
silver coinage corn went down to SO cents
bushel, the lowest point 1t touched In
twelve years. Note, also, in all these rela-
tions Of years to prices and silver coinage.
that the actual per capita of circulation of
all forms of money increased from 1873.
when wheat was Sill a bushel, to 1880, when
it had dropped to 90 cents a bushel: No one
who cares to know the truth about the
allegation that small silver coinage has
decreased prices OF these staple products
can make careful analysis of these figures
and hold to that conclusion.
SEEKING OTHER REASONS.
While there are causes which have tended
to a decline in the prices of these and other
products, it is plain that want of silver
coinage is not one of them. Mr.. Walker.
of Massachusetts. and other noted writer's
on political economy hold that scarcity or
contraction of money does have a marked
tendency in lowering prices. But decreas-
ing prices of neither agricultural nor
manufactured products can be charged
to this condition in the United
States, for the circulation per capita
has been increasing since 1867. when 1t
was s18.2S, and reached its highest point
in 1892, when it was S24.H. So other rea.:
sons than the lack Of money in circulation
will have to be looked for. Before GRO
ceeding TO the real causes Of the decline in
prices of commodities, let US consider what
have been the facts in this regard in man.
ufactures. The following table, made up
from the actual figures of the markets In
the years named, covering a period of
twenty years, and including some staple
products. will serve to illustrate the facts

THIS is THE THIRD
MINNEAPOLIS AND ST. LOUIS GRANTS
G. a. r. RATES ASKED. ..-

Confidently Expected That the 500 VIII
Soon Follow tho Example Other st.
Pau1-Chicago Lines Must Now Rack
Down or Get Left.
ST.. PAUL, Feb. 15:-The Minneapolis
and St. Louis railroad has fallen into
line with the Chicago Great Western
and the w sconsin Central and will
grant the same rate and the sa1ne ex-
tension of tine on special rate tickets
for the G. A. R. national encampment
rs the latter two roads, It is rumored
that the 500 road will soon fail into
line. :-.
This action simply bears out the first
predictions made as to the ultimate
course that the Chicago lines would
adopt. So long as the Chicago Great
Western stood alone in its offer to grant
the G.. A. R. the. terms desired, there
was a possibility that the remaining
five Chicago lines might hold out, con-
fident that one road could not handle
all the business. When the Wisconsin
Central also broke away and followed
the example of the Great Western, the
chances of the combine hold .ng out
were materially lessened. and now that
the Minneapolis and st. Louis has
withdrawn from the agreement, there
is no longer any doubt as to the result.
With three Of the six Chicago lines
granting the desired rates and 80 days
extension on tickets, the Milwaukee,
Omaha and Burlington will scarcely
stand by and see these roads monopo-
ize all the business.

Wisco ,sin Central Can Meet G. A. r.
Rates of the Great Western.
CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-Relief was af.
forded to the Wisconsin Central road
during the day in the matter of ar
rangements for the G.. A. r. encamp-
ment at St. Paul next September. The
chairman Of the Western Passenger as
soclation gave it authority to meet the
action Of the Chicago Great Western
road in extending the limitation Of
tickets until Sept. l5, with the option
to holders to have them EXTENDED until
the end of the month by depositlng
them with the company's ticket agent
at St. Paul prior to Sept. Is. The Wis
consln Central vas given further au-
thority to tender these arrangements to
connecting roads for basing purposes.
Its connections say, however, that they
will not avail themselves of the offer.
They are satisfied with the first ar
rangements agreed to and cannot af-
ford to have longer limitat. on of tickets
at a cent Per mile than was provided
for in them.

RACE AND CREED WAR.

One Possib lity Of the Proposed Renee

CHICAGO, Feb. l5.-The Times. Her.
aid special from Ottawa, Ont, says:
The Introduction of the remed al bill in
parliament caused the widest excite
ment i'll Manitoba, the province most
directly interested by the passage of
the measure.
The Greenway government openly
announces that any attempt to coerce
Manitoba into submission will bring on
serious trouble. Rebellion is likely to
follow and civil war is a possibility.
The Conservatives of Manitoba, realiz-
ing the danger which threatens the
province. and fearing race and creed
war following the passage of the bill
which restores paroch al schools to
Roman Catholics, have gone so far as
to warn the D mluion government to
consider the consequences of hasty &C.
ton in the matter.
THE galleries of parliament were
crowded when the minister of Justice
introdu ed the bill. ~.'. ---
All the papers and documents relat-
ing to the school question were for
mally submitted to the legislature by
Premier Greenway. It is likely that
the premiers first step will be to appeal
to the privy council of England.

dENERAL WEYLER IN CUBA.

the Now Captain General Arrives ut
HAVANA, Feb. 13.-The steamer AL
fonso XIII arrived here at a. M, hav-
ing on board General Weyler, the new
saptan general of Cuba. The entire
eity was brilliantly decorated in honor
Of the occasion and the bay was
splendid sight, all the warships and
merchant craft present being decorated
with bunting. Troops and volunteers
turned out to a man, together. with the
f1e department. and police, and for a
long time past no such brilliant display
has fee.l witnessed in Havana. This
is mainly due to the fact that in many
quarters General Weyler IS looked upon
as likely to be the man who will restore
order in Cuba, which would mean a re-
sumption of commerce and bus ness,
developments which are anxlousy
looked forward to by the commercial
community.
Will BE Hard On Sympathizers.
General Weyler has issued procla-
nation addressed to- the military Off,
GERS in which he says:
81 am determined to have the law
fall with all its weight upon all those
in any way helping the enemy. or
praisng them, or in any way detract-
Ing from the prestige of Spain, Of its
army or Of it's volunteers. Knowing
this, and knowing my character, may
perhaps need to say no more to make
you understand what is the conduct
that I am to follow"

dressed to the people Of Cuba asking
their cooperation.
