Estimated That Nearly Sixty Thousand
Men Participated.
According to careful estimates there
were between $4,000 and 80, 900 men in
line in the big parade. OF this aggre-
gate United States regulars and naval
forces numbered 1000, national guard
Of New York $4,000, and national

The veteran, General Merritt, one
of the worlds famous leaders of cav
airy, commanding the division of the
Atlantic, the First division and the
natty West Pointers, called for a salvos
of cheers as they followed. Engineers,
artillery, cavalry, infantry, in pictur-
esque but orderly variety, tramped by,
each brigade headed by veteran of
note. Not least among the honored
troops were the tars from Uncle Sans
navy. Besides these regulars there
were the citizen soldiery and the naval
militia. There were no invidious dis
tinctions. New York's famous Sew
enth was no more heartily cheered than
was Maryland's superb Fifth, while
the solid ranks of Pennsylvania sons,
led by their governor, had the same
braves showered upon them that greet
ed the guardsmen from New Jersey,
Ohio and Massachusetts,. Hearty, too,
were the plaudits accorded the sons of
Confederate veterans-youths whose
sires "took their horses home with
them," at the mandate of the great
general in whose honor the march was
made.
But enthusiasm reached it's climax
when the division led by General o. o.
Howard marched into view. The old
veterans were given the greatest hon.

came the independent companies, the

Cheap Confederate Money.

A southern firm advertises Is varieties
of Confederate bills for % cents, also a
''rare collection of so different bills and
shinplasters for only $2.'' Apparently
the firm has millions of dollars worth
OF this money for sale cheap.
What pity that our old fogy consti-
tuition is in the way! But for it the
cheap money advocates in any state
where they have majority could buy
up this whole Confederate outfit and
start in business at once. The amount
of prosperity and happiness that could
be extracted from this old paper mine
would depend upon the size (population)
Of the state fortunate enough to secure
the monetary outfit.
For instance, it would probably give
Nevada more than 81, 600 per capita and
would at once transform her from one
of the poorest to one of the wealthiest
of states. Instead of sagebrush and
prizefghts she would TEEN with gran
aries and warehouses. Down with a
constitution which prevents state home
rule in monetary affairs and the mani
fold blessings of cheap money!

Better Banking Facilities Needed.

Discussing the poor credit and bank

fore the last meeting Of the American

sible that one tenth of the farmers could

states the silver states and a few large
cities, the remaining vast agricultural
section of the country, having 40 per
cent of the population and rs per cent
of the area, has less than 4 per cent OF
the bank deposits and depositors. This
suggests what was the real grievance OF
this mass of voters, although they did
not themselves understand it. Their
banking facilities are proportionately

Japan's Experience With Silver.

The attempt of Japan to maintain a
mint ratio that was different from the
market ratio was failure and resulted
in denuding the ejaculation of gold. BIZ
metallism had failed III Japan as ELSE
where.
The decline in the value of money had
in Japan the effect it always has had of
robbing the laborer and enriching the
capitalist. The miserable pittance paid
to the wretched operatives must at no
distant period lead to social revolution
unless the rate Of wages be considerably
improved.
In 1879 family consisting Of five
members of the lower middle class could
subsist on 70 yen ayear. In 1898 the cost
of living had risen to $50 yen year.
During period of % years the silver
yen declined very nearly one-half in it's
gold value, about two-fifths in it's power
to buy merchandise and about one fourth
in its power to buy labor.
The gold value of the exports from
the United States and England to Japan
was over $18, 900, 900 in 1892 and nearly
So 900, 900 in 1896, while the imports

Why Interest Is High In Texas.

The Galveston Daily News reminds
its Texas readers of the difference in in
terest rates in the northeastern states
and in some of the western and southern
states and gives them few elementary
lessons on the reasons for this difference.
"Interest is never SO low" it says sin
communities given over to suspicious
fires, questionable assignments, fraudu-
lent failures or to legislation with de-
cided turn against the creditor and in
favor of the debtor" Much of the mar
ket rate of interest is insurance against
risk, and of course diminishes as the
risk decreases. s"Where men are required
by law to pay their debts and are not
sheltered and encouraged in tricky
courses by unreasonable exemption laws,
and by public prejudice against cred
itors as a class the risk is naturally less
serious.
Making it's application to Texas,
The News says: eve have right to
to leave fraudulent debtor a residence
worth $50, all the bank stock or
bonds he can carry and an extraordinary
collection of the tools of his trade or
profession and to defy his creditors to
crook a finger at him. We can do this if
we prefer, but it is going to cost us
something" 1t asks why the 'goodly
majority of the people of Texas, who
"are not disposed to live high today and
hide behind the exemption law, the as
signment law OR some other law tomor-
row." should be forced by the discredit
of bad laws and few dishonest men
'to pay two prices for every dollar they
borrow" It believes the rate of interest
would come down one-half and the
loanable funds would double if the hon.
est men of the state would demand the
enactment of laws under which cred
itor could collect what is due him.
