The idea that wages will increase
enough under free silver coinage to make
up for the depreciation of silver is direct
~ contrary to experience During the war
the increase in wages was only about 43
per cent, while the increase in prices was
more than 100 per cent. The advance of
wages involves the concurrence of two
parties, the interest of one of which is
to Keep wages dow n as low as possible,
while prices are subject to the will of
one party only, and be anxious for a
rise. Wages in silyer-using countries
have not advanced as the value of silver
has fallen. The workingmen in Mexico,
Brazil, China and Japan, and India get
just the same amount of silver, which
Is now worth So cents on the dellar, as
they did when silver was worth 100
cents on the dollar. There wages range
from 10 to 20 cents per day In silver dol
lars worth only about one-half the Anne
rioan gold dollars.

The Mccormick Reaper Com pany, the

jesse r. Grant. youngest son Of Gen.
Grant, better known as "B uck," has
turned up in the..Populist ranks. He
says he cannot support the Republican

the Chicago platform because of what
he calls the anarchist plank and so he

1t is curious and suggestive fact that
the harshest things said of the Southern
Democratic politicians in this campaign
have boon said by Democrats like Bourke
Cochran, Gen. Bragg, Gen. Sickles and
our ex-Gov. Waller. and not by Republi-
cans. A quotation (about nnreoonstructstl

days at the head OF their columns by two
or three of the Southern sound money
papers now supporting Bryan is taken
from a speech made by a Democratic to
the largest indoor gathering Of Demo
Gratis ever assembled in the Democratic
city of New York.
The Portland daily press., 1896-09-08

Bryan is very bitter against the Demo
Gratis who put Palmer In nomination at
indianapolis, though he processes tt
think the third ticket will not hurt his
chances. If he thought it harmless, Chow
ever, hewould hardly get so angry over
it. The truth Ia that the indianapolis
ticket has finished what little chance he
had and he doubtless knows 1t. Hence
his temper.

We observe that Mr.. Frank is very
cautious about predicting the result of
the election in Maine. He tells Bos-
ton Globe reporter that he has had big

who will vote the silver ticket, but he
takes good care not to commits himself
as to ths number of Democratic boilers.
Mr., Frank is wise,

Senator Hill still retains his non.

Bryan by the Albany Argus, paper

The election of William Mckinley and

principles is expected to have a marked
influence on railroad investments and
improvements. 1t has been known for
some time that several Of the leading
lines running into the Twin Cities were
awaiting a favorable result Of the cleo
ton to decide a number of important
matters. 1t is believed that the North

soon make extensive investments all
along their respective lines, especially
on the Pacific coast.

Chicago Great Western, would start for

NEW COAST TARIFFS
VIII Be of Benefit to Western Slope
JObbers.

The new transcontinental tariff
sheet adopted by the roads in con-
ference at last weeks meeting of the
North Pacific coast lines is ready for
distribution among shippers, and the
tariffs will be sent out today.
The general results Of the meeting
have already been printed in the
G b e. The lines interested were the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific, Can
adam Pacific, Union Pacific, Oregon
Railway & Navigation company, Bur-
lington & Missouri River and the 500.
The new tariffs were based on those
in effect upon the Southern Pacific, or
Sunset route from Atlantic seaboard
points to South Pacific points,
and were made for the purpose of
meeting the competition of the latter
line. The new tariffs will enable the
North Pacific coast business firms to
stand on more equitable footing by
the side of those on the South Pacific
coast. The cause for the reduction by
the North Pacific lines are familiar to
all.
The new tariff sheet comprises
thirty-siX pages, and rates are shown
upon over $500 different commodities
from Atlantic points to the North
Pacific csast points. st. Paul and in
termediate territory as has been pre-
Viously stated, is not affected by the
cut. The eastern boundary line of the
territory affected is the Atlantic coast
The western boundary practically is
a line drawn from north to south
through Buffalo, N. Y, running as far
south as Virginia and North Caro-
lima. The tariffs affect consignments
from the above territory to the fol-
lowing terminals: via the Canadian
Pacific, to Seattle, Everett, Fairhaven,

Wash; via the Northern Pacific to
