The German American citizens of
the United States are as patriotic as

and they are able to reason out the
financial question without the aid of
the wealthy men of that nationality

question is one which is strictly
American, and the American people.
whether native or foreign born, will
decide in accordance to their convic-

The cost of bushel of India wheat
laid down in Liverpool is one rupee.
The rupee is silver coin ninted at
the English mint but is the money OF
India. Its weight is 1870 grains of
standard silver which is obtained by
the English people in the United
States for about so cents an ounce.
Our standard dollar of 412t grains
weighs one ounce hence one of our
dollars will coin nearly q rupees,
which gives the people of England q
bushels of wheat laid down in Liver
pool for the amount of silver in one
of our dollars coined into the money
of India. And the republican party
by its platform declares in favor of
continuing this until such time as
the British government may agree
to international bimetallism. They
rant about protection to the Ameri-
can farmer and by the legislation
that makes silver commodity com
pei him to meet this species of COM
petition from the wheat producers of
India. For the past three years the
English people have taken from the
United States by purchase 10000
ounces of silver at the price of $780,
600 which coined into rupees would
lay down in Liverpool 400, 900 bushels
of India wheat. The price at which
that wheat can be laid down in
Liverpool fixes the price of American
wheat for the same market. India is
also a cotton producing country and
that also has it's price fixed in the
same way the price of wheat is fixed
by the price of silver. And the gold
standard democrats and republicans
of like hue ask our producers of these
staples to kindly ''permit the molas-
ses to rum until such time as our
English cousins will agree to inter.
national bimetallism. Neither wing
of the gold party has yet intimated
what it will do if their efforts to in
duce the English people to accept Of
our silver at the coinage value fixed
, for it from 1892 to 1878, is failure,
which is the only bimetallism that
will adequately protect the American
producer

The Yoakum Graphic this week
contains an occount of what q
couple Of bold, bad bunco men did
down there Saturday. The two
slick individuals sprung the old
knife scheme on couple of green
country boys, robbing them of No.
The trick consisted in one Of the
men displaying q little knife which
he said could only be opened by o.
secret spring. Another young
man then came up and offered to
bet 80 that hes could open the
knife. The two boys were looking
on and the young man winked at
them and offered to take the bet if
the boys would furnish the money.
AS he offered to divide profits they
readily agreed to this and the boys
pulled out 49, all they had' aud
gave it to him when he suddenly
faded away from view. The other
young man did likewise. The two
boys then hunted up an officer and
told their tale, and the gay buncc
men were hunted up and put in
the calaboose. The Graphic thinks
this an indication that YoalSum is
a metropolitan city, as bunco men
are supposed to operate in such
cities only.
