ever he thought it expedient to do
so are now more than ever con-
vinced that they were right. The
premature publication of the ma
ture Of the report which Gen.
Fitz Lee, our consul general to
Cuba, has made to the president
upon the condition of affairs in
Cuba is what convinced them. 1t
is argued that this report will
furnish basis for the president
to act upon, if he be SO disposed,
and that if he takes any action
favorable to the Cubans Spain
will be compelled, by public opin-
ion which is already much influ-
enced against us, to declare war
against the United States. Mean
while Gen. Fitz Lee is in diplo-
matte hot water. He wrote a let
ter containing very decided opin-
ions to a relative who made the
mistake of showing it to a news
paper man. Consequently the
Spanish minister wants his Off
cial scalp, and according TO diplo-
matte ethics he is entitled to it.,
but whether he will get it is al
tOUether another thing.

Sioux Falls Press: The pity of
the people of South DakNa will
be aroused for those in general
who have been deluded into leav-
ing the state to hunt for more
promising locations elsewhere
which none of them have found
and which none of them will find.
But there will be none of these
emlgrants who will arouse so
much of sympathy as the old
soldiers who went down to Geor-
gia to join the colony at Fltzger-
aid. 1t is pitiful to learn of the
sad experiences they have under

inflicted upon them in their new

haired veterans are duped into
such disaster as has afflicted those
who last year moved down to that

ceding annual average. In 1895 it i'm
ported S1,74ss55 hundred weight
Q.-What has made possible this re-
markable increase in wheat produc-
ton?
A-The exceedingly rapid develop
ment Of transportation facilities in
newly cultivated grain countries,
among them India, Russia, and the Ar
gentine Republic.
Q.-Has there been an increase in
the United States?
Am enormous increase.
Q.-How large?
AIN 1875 there were 26.3S1, 512 acres
Of wheat cultivated in this country; in
1891 there were S9,s16,S97, an increase Of
so per cent. The yield in 1875 was 292.-
$4,000 bushels, a heavy increase over
preceding years. In 1891 the yield was
eli, 1,7SO,OOO. Even last year, with a great
ly reduced acreage and a partial crop
failure, the yield was 467. 100000 bushels.
Q.-Has the yield of other crops in
creased correspondingly?
Alt has.
Q.-Give instances.
A-The cultivated area of corn in
the United States in 1871 was 34,091,-
1877 acres; in 1891 it was 76,2O4,515; in
crease, 124 per cent. The yield OF corn
last year was more than double that
Of any year prior to 1876. Both the
acreage and the average annual yield
Of oats have doubled since 1871. Our
cotton crop in 1894 was so per cent
greater than in any year prior to 1887.
Q.-was a decline in grain and cot
ton prices, under such conditions inev-
table?
A.-As inevitable as a decline in the
price of clothing, or furniture, or books,
or steel rails. or pens, when competition
in their manufacture has extended
Q.-would free coinage help the pro-
ducers of grain to larger profit, under
such conditions?
A.-Not in the least.
A.-Because If the nominal prive Of
grain were to rise through imitation Of
the currency, the price of everything
else would rise also and the farmer
would be relatively no better of than
he was before.
Q.-Do the free coinage advocates
use in their speeches these statistical
facts which we have examined?
A.-They do not.
Q.-Can the subject be understood
without examining them?
Alt cannot; the whole question
rests on these facts regarding money
and production.
Q.-Why do the free-coinage speakers
not use these, facts and figures?
A.-Because the facts and figures are
against them.
Q.-Is there any dispute over the
ruth of the figures quoted in these an
,wers?
A.-They are undisputed even by free
coinage men. They are taken from
he reports Of the United States treas
Try, of the department of agriculture.
# the director of the United States
mint, of the United States bureau Of
statistics, and of the British board of
rade; all of them, in their respective
pheres, the highest known authority.

From Gold or Silver"

From Gold or Silver"
The purpose Of this series OF ques-
tions and answers is to put, in simple
form, the problems raised by the free
coinage controversy with a plain an
swer to each. All statistical facts given
are transcribed from official publica-
tions. and a list Of all authorities used
is published at the end of the Cate
| chism.
ouestion-what is the fundamental
claim of the free-coinage advocates?
Answer-They claim that the amount
OF money in circulation has been de-
creasing since the demonetization of
silver, and that this decrease has caus-
ed general fall in prices,
Q.-Is it true that the money supply
has been decreasing?
Att Is not.
Q.-What are the facts?

lation in this country was $442. 1O2, Al;
in 1872 it was s7SS, 1903. .54s; by the treas
ury bulletin at the opening of the pres
ent month. it was $l.521, ,5S42sS,
Q.-What does this show?
Alt shows that our money supply
has increased 24O per cent as COM
pared with 1860. and 1OS per cent as
compared with 1872.
Q.-Has the money supply increased
faster than the population?
Avery much faster.
Q.-How do you prove this?
A.-By dividing the total money in
circulation at each date by the total
population at the same date, and thus
finding the circulation per capita.
Q,-What does such process show?
A,-The per capita circulation of the
United States on July /, 1860, was $1AO6:
on July /, 1872, it was $3.50; at the
opening of the present month in 1896
1t was $21.35.
Q.-But has not the money supply of
the world at large been decreasing?
A.-on the contrary, 1t has been In

duction.

been?

the mint, which are acknowledged au-
thority, show that from 1878 to 1894 in
elusive the worlds total new gold pro-
duction has been $2,526,SS4,sOO.
Q,-Is this new product Of gold in
creasing or decreasing?
