COUNTERFEIT DOLLAR.
But 1t Has More Silver i'm 1t than the
Genuine Thing.

The government officials at this point have
received information of a. new counterfeit
silver dollar that has recently been put into
circulation. The new coin is dated 1888 and
bears the New Orleans mint mark. Its
most glaring fault is that no margin is left
between the milling on the face of the
coin and its edge. The lettering is also too
large and much of it is poorly formed. The
officials say also that the word Liberty
across the front of the Goddess cap, is
much too prominent. Major Carter, of the
Treasury Department, says the coin really
contains more silver than genuine dollar.

TAMMANY SWEETS.

Tammany's original endorsement of
Bryan was politics, an enforced step to
mold the lower strata of that organiza-
ton in line. The leaders of Tammany
are gold-bugs. New York City is for a
single standard of gold by many thou
sands majority. Tammany's hope of
victory and control of Greater New
York is in united Democracy without
reference TO the currency question. The
money lines once drawn and Tammanv
is hopeiessly split. The labor oryaniza-
lions OF New York desire the presence
of Bryan and speech from him on
Labor day. The bosses. who had not
counted on this. are much worried
Croker has been asked to come hack
from Europe and lend a hand. The Ia
Dor element of Tammany are sincere
believers III the Chicago platform
Ihese principles would be fatal to the
success of the party in that city. So
they have set about the scheme 10 keen
Sryar away. Mr.. Bryan will be pledg
Cd the state delegation of New York
three years hence in the event of his
agreeing To decline making the expect
cd speech, for the political control of
Greater New York involves the control
of the state.

THE SUGAR SHAME.

When a Louisiana senator gives no
tee that he will move to amend the
tariff bill as it has been reported by the
senate finance committee, by striking
out the sugar schedule and inserting
that which the house of representatives
agreed upon, it is evidently time to
abandon the senate sugar duties entire
ly. There is no question that the house
bill is much less favorable TO the sugar
trust, and if it is better from the point
of view of the only state which pro-
duces large quantities of raw sugar, the
senate finance committee ought to be
thoroughly ashamed of its work. 1t is
quite clear that Jones, the Nevada Pop
ulist, who held the balance of power
in the senate committee, insisted upon
a position that will not suit the major
ity of Republican senators and will be
rejected by at least part of the Demo
Gratis. The tariff bill will never become
a law in so Objectionable a form as il
was given by the finance committee Of
the senate.

CAPITAL AND WAGES

Statistics recently published in
France show a condition there very
similar 10 the condition shown, by the
last United States census. to exist in
this country, namely, that while the
rate of interest on capital has steadily
declined for the last fifty years the rate
Of wages for labor has steadily in
creased. Within the period named
French rentes have gone down from )
per cent to as low as 2.92 per cent Rail-
road securities there have declined IN
interest so that the rates now paid are
not more than IS per cent of what they
were in the middle of the century. Sim
liar conditions obtain in Hungary.
where the rate of interest has declined
from 6 70 per cent. The Swedish and
Norwegian loans. formerly ar and )
per cent. are now foated az 5 per cent.
and Egyptian funds, which originally
bore an interest of per cent, now yield
only BIS per cent. Turkey. itself. which
owes some SSo.O0.ao0. and which for
merry paid 10 per cent on her loans. can
now borrow AT from : to 5is per cent.
Within period OF thirty years rates OF
interest in the United States have gone
down from 10. Q, S per cent 10 and 4
per cent
For most Of the period named above
wages have been steadily advancing.
