Relations Entirely Cordial-No Founda-
tion for "a Certain Disturbing Dispatch.
Washington, May 15.-The Spanish
minister, Senior Dupuy de LONE, being
shown this morning dispatch from
Madrid asserting that the Spanish gov
ernment had authorized a formal re-
monstrance to be presented against the
attitude of the United States in regard
to Cuba, replied That this was directly
contrary to all his information, and TO
the explicit statements contained in the
queens speech. He said that his gov
ernment had warned him to pay no at
tention to disturbing dispatches in the
press, as they would keep him fully ad-
vised on all points.
The relations between Spain and the
United States, he added, We're entirely
cordial and there was no friction of
any kind.

These Are Not Crimes.

Mankind progressed from. the use of
rowboats to sailing vessels and steam
ships. It is not "enmity'' to sailing
vessels that makes US travel by steam
ships. 1t is no 'unfricndly act'' Of a
great newspaper against hand presses if
it uses steam presses. 1t is no crime"
against horses if we transport our goods
by railroads. Neither is it enmity to
silver nor an unfriendly act, nor crime
toward it, if other nations and our own
use gold for the transfer of values. We
will continue to use row boats and sail
ing vessels as we'll as steamships, Just
as we will continue to use copper and
silver as we'll as gold. No act Of con-
gress could. however, give to our sailing
vessels the great and almost uniform
swiftness Of our ocean steamers. Not
even an International agreement would
accomplish IT'D. 'Ochs. -

Information For All.

Too much cannot be. said in praise Of
the penny publication Present Prob
lems Four numbers have thus far
been issued, and each contains an excel.
lent discussion on the money question.
No. / is a 4S-page pamphlet entitled
''The Free Coinage Problem" It is a
most excellent treatment of the whole
free coinage problem, showing it's bear
ings on farmers, wage earners and the
general public.
No. 2 contains, besides other short
articles, the now famous Horrible
Crime The Demonstration Of Iron
1900 Years Ago." by Alex. p Hull.
No. 3 is entitled Free Coinage Dis
Gected. It is by ext Congressman John
/, De Witt Warner, one Of our best posted
men on the money question. He makes
good use Of the 80 pages in this pam
phlet. Besides laying bare the 16-to-1
question he indicates what must be the
Anal solution Of the coinage and cur:
rency questions.
No. 4 is entitled "Sixteen to One
Versus Wages" It is also by Mr.. War
ner. It shows from statistics in this
and other countries that actual wages
have always and everywhere declined
when paid in depreoiating money, and
have risen, when paid in gold. His sta
Hstios and arguments are full and con-
elusive. No one who understands them
will attempt to answer them.
This admirable series Of timely little
pamphlets undoubtedly furnish both
the best and the cheapest information
ON this question for the general reader.
They are a convenient size for carrying
In the pocket, are illustrated and are
printed in attractive form with neat
covers. -
They are published semi-monthly by
the Present Problems Publishing Co., J,
81 Park place, New York city. The
subscription price is 20 cents per year
single copies, cent each. Sample copies
will be sent free to writer's or speakers
on the money question, who are likely to
use large quantities if the pamphlets
are found to be satisfactory.

STATE EQUALIZATION.
THE State Board of EQualiZa-
ton Make Many
Changes.

County Auditor Ellenbecker has
received from State Auditor Dunn u
report Of the changes made In the
asse ssment In Morrison county. The
only decrease was on horses 2 years
old, and their assessment was de-
creased 10 per cent.
/ A,large number of increases were
made as follows:
Cattle l year old, SO per cent.
Cattle 2years Old, 10 per cent.
Sewing machines, is per cent.
Watches and clocks, 66X per cent,
Melodians and organs, 10 per cen t,
Pianos, 40 per cent.
Household and office furniture, IL
per cent. ., :
Agricultural tools and implements,
33hS per cent. y,
Goods and merchandise. ~ per
cent.
Material and manufactured ar
ticles, Is per cent. 90.
Manufacturer's tools, Implement
and machinery, 10 per cent. .
Shares of bank stocks, 81 per cent
Dogs, SO per cent. . *
Real estate, both city lots and
lands and farm lands, 10 per cent.
The most important OF the above
changes are the increase of 40 per
cent in goods and merchandise, the
increase OF Is per cent in material
and manufactured articles. the IN
crease OF 81 per cent in hank shares
and 10 per cent in real estate The
material and manufactured ar
ticles" include logs and lumber,
flour, paper, ETC.. and the rise effects
the Pine Tree Lumber company,
Interstate company, Hennepin
Paper company, Little Falls brew
cry, and other manufacturers. Two
years ago the state board raised
this class 800 per cent, and last year
100 per cent. Both times the state
auditor granted a request of the
county board for an abatement.
The increase in goods and merchan-
disc is unusual, and will increase 40
per cent the taxes paid by the
merchants OF the county. !.
The banks are raised 81 per cent,
and this brings their.taxes to q good
sized sum. e. II
All real estate in the county is
raised 10 per cent, but it will leave
the taxes on farm lands smaller than
before.
Two years ago farm lands were
raised to over "a an acre by the
state hoard; this year the 10 per cent
raise still leaves them at about IS
an acre. ssi s.S ss

result Of Bryan's election? The
$6Oo, OM, 600 in gold would be
withdrawn from circulation Der
manently. The government minis
could not coin silver dollars-53c
dollars-to take its place in years,
no matter how much silver were
brought tothese mints. Agitators
|tclaim that gold is out of circula'
ton now, but it should not be
forgotten that it forms reserves in
many banks, that the reserve in
Washington keeps the paper
money in circulation and thatthe
policy Of the government to keep
money at a parity is now keeping
SIC silver dollars circulating and
performing the functions Of 1000
dollars. Afree coinage law would
do away with all this and we would
have nothing but silver and paper
dollars in circulation, the value OF
which would auctuate from day
to day. No one would dare to in
vest money for they would have
no assurance of receiving as good
money in return. No new in
dustries would be opened, work
ingmen would not be able to pur-
chase the products Of the farm,
while creditors would press for
payment, and as it would be
impossible to secure gold for the
payment of mortgages, forced sales
would ruin almost every, farmer
whose farm Is mortgaged, as fast
as the mortgages became due.

Minneapolis Tribune: Within
the past month the price OF
wheat in all the markets has ad.
ed some ID or l3 cents per
bushel. Thurday's market was
perhaps the elimination of the
advance for the present but the
reaction from the highest point
reached was only about one cent
bushel. No. 2 cash wheat in
Chicago sold at 70 cents per
hushel.
The causes which brought about
this advance are regarded as legltl.
mate by the trade. 1t is different
from the big speculative advance
of 1895, which had no substantial
foundation, as WAS afterwards
shown. But this year the short:
age in the crops and in the worlds
supplies arc real, not fancied;
therefore, intelligent wheat
handlers look for much higher
prices before the harvesting of
another crop-although a good
temporary reaction from yester-
days top quotations is not ,un'
likely. Z
One notable fact connected with
the rise in wheat is the weakness
and dullness Of silver during the
same time. Silver bullion, while
wheat has been gaming 10 cents a
bushel, or nearly Is per cent, has
shown no advance at all. Our
silverite friends assure us that
there is an inscparable connection
between silver prices and wheat
prices; that the fall Of silver
brought the low price of wheat,
and that nothing but the appreci-
alton of silver through free coin
age Will give the farmers rising
prices of cereals. &c.. .
If there is anything in this
theory, the law of it's operation
must have been suspended during
the past month.
The fact is, there is nothing in
it. The conditions Of supply and
demand make wheat prices. The
fluctuations in all commercial
markets are Independent Of the
quotations of silver bullion.

Free silver and Cheap whest.

The evil day Of the western grower
has now come. The wheat growers Of
Russia and Argentina are underselling
him and driving him from the market
Silver is not doing it, but these compel
.itors are by offering their wheat at a
lower price. They were influencing its
price long before the silver agitation
began, and they will continue to influ-
ence it whatever our government may
do with silver. This country is not the
entire commercial world, and, much as
we may wish it, cannot by any juggling
with silver advance by cent bushel
the price Of wheat in the markets Of the
world for the very obvious reason
that foreign buyers are not dependent
on our market Philadelphia Ledger.
