practical tests were made Of the ores

best for saving most values. Work on
mines and mill will begin at once, and
several houses have to be erected and
repairs made on old ones. There are
plenty OF mechanics. miners and la

naturally be given to old settlers in

THE WORKINGMAN'S INTEREST.
Money is worth what it will buy, no
more, no less.
Money will buy more now than it would
in 1873.
Money is therefore worth more now than
1t was In 1873.
Every man who works for wages gets
more money for his work now than he did
in 1873, and can buy more with each dol
lar of it..
Is this a condition of things which any
w~orkingman should wish to reverse?
Is it the interest of any w%orkingman to
vote for a return to conditions which
would give him smaller wages IN money
that would buy less.-NeW York World.
The above is a sample of logic used
by the eastern press. If readers of the
World accept such statements as salts
factory, perhaps the workingmen will
conclude that there is nothing wrong
in conditions here, that they have
plenty of clothes, plenty Of provisions
in the house, coal in the cellar and
rem paid in advance and are rolling in
the lap of luxury.

Mr.. Buchanan. United States minister to
the Argentine Republic has made a report
to the Secretary of State on money and
prices in foreign countries, showing the
invariable bad effects of the cheap money
system on the farmers and the wages
earners. An extended and careful personal
observation has convinced him that, with
possibly few exceptions all classes OF
workmen il Argentina are today receiving
less wages. the purchasing power of their
money being considered, than they wera
ten years ago. Minister Buchanan sum.
marizes his views on the financial question
as follows:
THE first person to feel the decline Of
gold has been the farmer, who is come
planning bitterly of the relatively loV
prices he is receiving for his products,
while he finds himself obliged to pay tho
same prices for what he buys as he did when
he received $3.50 more for every 100 kilos
of wheat than he now receives Low gold
does not induce the merchant to mark
down his goods with the same good will
ne manifested when he advanced their
price Notwithstanding the decline in the
employers income, as gold falls, the work.
man Will not, in all probability consent to
decrease In his present wages without a
bitter fight; nor can he do so unless there
is sharp decline in rents and in the cost
OF living. AS gold declines the wage earn.
er who receives a gold salary finds his in
come disappearing, while his expenses re.
main as before. This period of readjust-
ment in the value of the money of the
country has brought about a complete stage
nation in business. With the advent of low
gold, the farmer who made money on its
rise turned specuator and holds his grain
or cattle for higher rate The merchant
cannot make collections because of this
condition OF things, and he has to pay
abroad, he also becomes a specuIator and
waits for lower gold Thus, every one ia

to the extent of trying to profit in some
manner by the daily rise and fall in gold.

Gems. Palmer and Buckner arrived a,

depot by 500 persons. 1t proved an un.
welcome greeting they received, and the
party was compelled to pull out without
accomplishing anything. AS the candi-
dates stood on the rear platform with
their heads barred, a number of young
men pushed up with a big Bryan banner
vand showed it under the noses of the gen.
erals. Several efforts of General Buckner
to speak were interrupted by cries of de-
ris1on, many in the crowd yelling: Look
at the Mckinley Aid Society,""

to get at the generals and strike them

bitterly around the car end; women were

blows were exchanged. An old farmer

shouted: You are carrying Missouri for

crowd.
After five minutes of fighting screaming

Chinese to Make Wine.

Tscoma Dispatch to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Northern Pacific liner Tacoma. which
arrived today from Hongkong and Yoko,
hama, brought news that a Chinese syndi.
cate intends to open at once In northern
China a large establishment for the pro.
duction Of wine. The vine has long been
gr' vn in that country. but only with a
view TO producing grapes for the table.
Attempts were made in 1893 to produce
wine from these grapes. These attempts
were so successful that the syndicate re-
ferred to applied to the Chinese govern
ment for a monopoly for the production Of
wine from grapes.
An Austrian expert has recently visited
the wine-producing districts of northern
China and describes the quality of the
grapes grown there excellent. Baron
Max Won Babe, son Of the late director OF
the Austrian Pathological Institute, has
been appointed director of the new estab.
lshment in China and is now on his way
to that country.
An increasing quantity of wine is con.
sumed in China by the Chinese officials
and the growing European settlements on
the seacoasts. Heretofore the supply has
come from California and Europe. With
cheap labor II is figured that wine can
be produced very cheaply at home. II Is
STATED that the Chinese are anxious to
drive foreign wines out Of that market.
