New York and New JERSEY.

William E. Sackett, author'of mod
ern Battles at Trenton" q we'll known
political writer in New Jersey and New
York and firm believer in the single
gold standard, said to reporter for the
Washington Post:
Il am astounded at the progress the
free silver men are making in New York
and New Jersey. Do you know that of
the 70 delegates who went from New
York to Chicago firm in their convic-
tions for single gold standard until
international agreement could be effect
ed 40 of that number returned to their
homes converted to the free coinage of
silver platform Of the convention? OF
the 20 delegates from New Jersey l6
returned declaring their intention to
work for and support the free silver
plank. They declared this not so much
because they deemed it their duty to
abide by the action Of the convention,
but because they had become redhot
enthusiasts for free coinage. Today they
believe in 1t as firmly as they believed
in gold q week before the convention
WAS held.
THE most astonishing thing concern
ing the rapid strides Of free silver in
these two states is that it is in direct
opposition to an almost united press in
each state. The newspapers are almost
a unit in opposing free coinage, many of
the Democratic papers being even more
rabid in their denunciations Of it than
the Republican papers; but, notwith-
standing, the movement is growing
and growing 30 rapidly that it will not
surprise me in the least if the electoral
votes of New York and New Jersey are
cast for Bryan and Sewall. ! have just
made a trip through each of these
states, and found everywhere outside
Of the large cities an enthusiasm for the
free coinage Of silver that has startled
me- The friends of sound money will
have hard work to counterfeit this grow
ing sentiment before November ar
rives."

The Gap and the Filling.

Since 1889 the circulating medium
has shrunk about $500, 900, 900. Do you
wonder, business men, that the cutting
out from our circulation of $500, 900, 600
has compelled your banks to hold their
monetary funds and deny you what is
necessary for the conduct Of your bust
ness? How long will it take with $780,
900, 900 a year to fill that gap?
Six years of free coinage will not
supply the deficit that has been made
under the gold standard in the last six
years The hole cannot be filled for six
years to come with that amount. But
it is suggested that the capacity of the
mines can be increased.
| should like to see some man bold
enough to state his figures upon that
score. The mining authorities are per-
fectly able to inform you what is the
capacity of the mines of the world as
now known.
The great bonanzas of this country
have been practically worked out and
the same is true of the silver mines of
Australia and Mexico. Practically there
are no bonanza mines remaining. -

The Fifty Cent Dollar.

The $50 cent dollar" pictured by the
gold advocates, as a result of free coin.
age, would be impossible. The only way
the dollar can be reduced to one-half its
present value is by doubling the mum.
Der Of dollars in proportion to the guam
tity Of things to be exchanged for dol
lars. Free coinage could have no such
effect at any time in the near future.
There is no reasonable probability that
1t would add more than $50, 900, 900 a
year to our stock of metallic money.
Any change brought about by such an
addition would necessarily r. gradual,
for it would be only little, /, any, in
excess of the increase Of our Jpulation
and business.
The first effect of free coinage would
be 10 raise silver to the present level of
gold. Then prices would rise-that is,
money would cheaper just in proportion
as its quantity increased. AS money
increased in volume the workingman
would certainly get more Of it First of
all, the idle would find employment and
then would come the inevitable rise Of
wages. Improved conditions would Gre
ate more business opportunities, many
who are now simply wageworkers would
engage in business on thei. own account,
leaving places to be filled by others, and
becfming themselves the employers of
labor. james K. Jones.

A Mad Freak.

To do nothing but talk about an in
ternational agreement means simply
playing into the hands of the money
lenders, for they could always be GER
tain to hold back some nation from join
ing the agreement.
If this country takes action alone,
there is no doubt that the nations of
Europe would follow suit, and the
world would return to the system Of
two monetary metals, system which
has come down to us from the beginning
of time.
The scheme Of helping the world by
destroying one-half of the debt paying
medium will be looked upon as a mad
freak of these times. But meanwhile
this scheme, while it has only been in
operation for few years, has cost the
white race more misery and ruin than
all the wars of the century. Van Leer

Against n a2 Dollar.

The Republican party asks us. to &C.
oept policy which it admits is wrong,
but which it will rectify as soon as
England gives it leave. Silver was de-
monetized in 1873 at the bidding of the
creditor classes. For the 20 years pre-
ceding that time the commercial spirit
grew up all over the world, and uni.
yersal Indebtedness was a consequence.
Then the creditor class saw an oppor.
tuuity Of making 81 out of each 81 due
it through the characterization Of silver.
That is our contention. We are not
fighting for a so cent dollar, but against
~ dollar Of Lombard and Wall
streets. By demonetizing silver oue-half
the money Of the world had to do all
the world. OF course it would appreoi.

Universal Slavery,

The creditors of the world in gold
countries have, since 1878, doubled
their lien upon their neighbors' property
without advancing another cent to
them. For every ounce of human prod
ucts which the debtors then owed the
creditors they now owe them two. For
every days labor that would then be
required to pay off the debt 1t would
now require two For every life that
should have been spent in releasing the
bond upon human energy two lives must
now be spent In a word, the weight
imposed by debt upon the sum Of human
energy, the suffering, the agony, re-
quired to emancipate humanity from
the load has been doubled.
Nor is this all. The process is con-
tinuing one. The weight is still increas-
ing and in an increasing ratio If it
continue much longer, it means univer-
sal revolution and reputation or uni.
versal slavery.-Detroit News.

1t will be seen from the foregoing table that,
while during the 10 years Of the period under
consideration, including the years from 1873
TO 1882 silver fell more than Is cents per ounce,
or IA per cent, wheat advanced about 21b cents
per bushel, or per cent, and that, while dur
ing the last 80 days silver has fallen cents IN
ounce, wheat, owing to deficient harvests in
other countries, has advanced from Ga to IS
cents per bushel.
1t has never been asserted that the de-
cline in silver following its demonetiza-
ton was the sole cause of the constantly
lower prices of wheat. 1t would have
been absurd to say that supply and de-
mand, or even speculation, had nothing
to do with the market quotations. And
it has been with due allowance for these
influences that the advocates of the free
coinage of silver have become convinced
that the most important factor in bring
ing about the depressed condition of the
wheat market is the treatment silver
has had at the hands Of congress. In
this belief they are not shaken by the
furry in the speculative markets at the
present time. Such operators as Robert
Lindblom of Chicago declare that if it
were not for the depression due to the
rise of gold, prices for wheat would be
very high'this year.
Professor Hyde's table shows that
after silver was demonetized, and up to
July 8, 1896, silver fell 4S per cent,
while wheat fell 40 per cent. Silver was
demonetized and the demand for it fell
off. Wheat was still in demand, at
times with such strength as to keep its
relative value away up, as in the period
from 1873 to 1SS2-not 1887, as Pro-
fessor Hyde incorrectly says. But as
soon as the demand reached its normal
figure wheat values declined even more
rapidly than silver so that last July
they were again practically on the same
relative footing as they were when sill.
yer was demonetized. What has hap
pened since July does not affect the val
ne of these figures as showing the bad
influence upon wheat that the demon
citation Of silver and its consequent
decline had. The sudden rise of wheat
in the last few days is due wholly to
the failure of foreign crops, especially
those of India and Argentina. The yield
of Australia and Russia has also been
below the normal and England must
buy the shortage from us. The move
ment Of wheat in single season cannot
discredit the evidence of its movement
through series of years. New York

The Palmer Of Other DAYS.

There is not a man anywhere who op.
poses the coinage Of silver who does not
insist that congress has the right to
farm out the privilege Of supplying the
people with currency through banking
corporations. Democrats the fight for
the silver dollar is more than 40 years
old. We won it once against the ma
tional banks under the lead of Old Hick-
ory, and by his bones we'll win it again.

Professor John Hyde, the statisucia
Of the department of agriculture al
Washington, has prepared an elaborate
report with the avOwed intention OF
showing that the decline in the value Of
silver has had nothing to do with the
lower prices Of wheat which prevailed
until the recent speculative upward turn
in the market. Professor Hyde has IN
rivaled opportunities for the accumula-
ton of facts, and his report is valuable
for that reason, but it fails as an argu-
ment on the question which he sets out
to answer because his deductions are
made to accord with what are evidently
his preconceived ideas as to what they
should be. On the other hand, the fol-
lowing paragraph, which contains the
gist of the professors report, is prac.
teal confirmation Of the contention of
Mr. Bryan that the decline in wheat
and silver has been sympathetic:
That both have declined is true enough, but
the noncOrrespondence in their decline has
been sufficient to make their relation matter
of the grayest doubt, even had we no other
and satisfactory explanation Of the fall in
wheat. This will be best illustrated by the
following table, in which 100 is assumed to
represent the average price Of each Of the two
commodities during the first five years under
consideration:

FIRE SWEPT TENEMENTs.
SIX Families Open III Year with

Between four and five o'clock yesterday
afternoon, a fire the origin of which is
unknown occurred in the four-story double
tenement frame building No. Log St.PauTs
avenue, owned by Daniel McKane. The
building is n of the class known to the
Fire Department as barracks. A large

The flames rushed up the airshaft to the
roof enveloping nearly every apartment
and penetrating between the ceilings and
floors requiring the firement rip away
most of the flooring and woodwork. This
with the great quantity of water it was
found necessary to use, actually did more
damage to the building than the fire.

prise which the railway is perfectins
raay not be unnecessarily retarded.

AN odd feature of the real estate move
nient in this city in the last year has
been the enormous development in street
improvements without corresponding ac-
tivity in building. The condition is due
to the combination of confidence in the
city's future with the present discourage
mens due to poor water and light money.
AS business improves and cash seeks new
investment, and as the introduction Of
new water removes the objection of out
siders to move into Jersey City, a great
boom in building and leasing may be
expected.
Even more than the new water supply,
the obliteration of the meadows will help
70 populate the city. Nothing could be
more discouraging than that old ride on
the cars through a mile of reeking swamp
before the Heights were reached. The
closing in of Mill Creek does away with
the worst feature of the swamps, and
factories are fast eating up wha re-
mains.
