One DR.. u. NJ. Browder, a leader of the
Populist party in Greensburg, in an inter-
view in the Greensburg Review of last
week spoke as follows
Mr. Griffith is not silver pioneer in the
sense of the meaning to-day 1t is true
he advocated the coinage of silver at the
ratio of 10 to ] some years ago, but that
was to suit metallic spectators, and not
for the peoples good. The free-coinage-of-
silver idea was a Populistic discovery and
was adopted by the Democratic party,
which was pressed for a popular issue. 1t
is a Populistic principle, and the Democ-
racy came to Populism instead of the re-
verse.
The point of interest in the foregoing is
that DR.. Browder holds that there was a
time when "the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to / was advocated to suit
metallic spectators. and that that time
was 'some years ago" This forces the
conclusion that at present silver mine own
ers and metallic spectators have no in
terest in the free coinage of silver. Years
ago, when the silver in a standard dollar
was worth so cents, the metallic specula-
tors only urged free coinage. Then these
spectators and mine owners would make
about 25 per cent. by free-coinage law,
worth of silver in a standard dollar and
the profit to bullion owners would be over
100 per cent, these mine owners and metal
lie spectators care nothing about free
coinage, the demand coming it is inferred,
from the people whose paper money will
lose so per cent. of its purchasing power by
the silver monometallism which the Popu-
lists advocate. In view of the tremendous
activity of the silver mine owners and spec
ulators a year ago there is reason to fear
that the excellent doctor has been imposed
upon by some designing agent of the Silver
mine Trust.

for food. clothing, rents and to pay obli-
cations 1t has been a long time since
many men and women have seen their
names on pay rolls permanently. In that
time clothing has been worn to tatters anC.
shoes to their uppers, furniture has been
crippled-in short, there will be a special
demand for all of the merchandise in the
market With the prospect of wages many
can get a little credit. Thus trade will
slowly pick up The more employment that
can be given the more rapidly will business
improve. Therefore the more employment
which the country ct large has to give the
more men will be earning the wages which
will absorb the surplus Iow-priced goods.
might have been made in this country
which must be absorbed. This will delay
for a time the improvement which comes OF
full employment. Since late in 1893 the.m mass
of people have been pur chasing as little as
they could get along with. With the feel
ing that better times are at hand when. as
the days pass, more and more men and
women are earning wages, all will purchas"
and consume more freely. This will create
demand, demand will deplete stocks and
more labor will be needed to fill the empty
warehouses with other goods to be sold.
All producers, including the farmers will
feel the good effect of a more general de-
mand, even if prices are not greatly ad-
vanced.
There can be no improvement which does
not come in this way. Better prices for Ia
Dor and products depend upon greater de-
mand for consumption. Idle money by
millions may be piled up in bank vaults
without improving business; in fact, large
accumulations of money is one of the sur
est indications of unsatisfactory business
conditions Those men who assume that
better times will come, bringing money to
those who need it without being able to
tell from whence it comes, do not make use
of the common sense and reason which all
men of fair Intelligence should possess.
Are any of the indications referred to
apparent? The number of hands employed
is increasing, not SO rapidly as could be
wished, but hundreds of thousands more
of men and women are now earning wages
than were last November. The commercial
agencies affirm this. These same reports
declare that a spirit of hopefulness prevails
regarding the fall trade; jobbers are begin
ming to report fair orders; business gener-
ally is better than it was year ago. Dur
ing last week the prices of several staples
advanced and all others remained I'M
changed, indicating that the general decline
or weakness of prices year ago has
ended. Bank clearings last week were 73
per cent. greater than in the corresponding
week Of 1896. There will be a far greater
gain when we enter the month in which
the Bryan convention in Chicago paralyzed
trade. To the disgust of the croakers, gold
has practically ceased going out of the
country while the stock in the treasury
has increased. In New York last week
bank loans were increased 81, 100000 for the
obvious reason that the opportunities for
the profitable use of money are increasing.

write a book on them, has at last COM

book several months ago and sent it
to the publishers, but the Minis. was
lost in transit, and has never been re-
covered. 1t represented years hard
labor. The author, when he gave up
all hope of finding his Ms, set to work
to reproduce it, which he did TO his
own satisfaction. The book will he

USE DYNAMITE.

NEW YORK, September 10.-The
Herald's corresponded in Rio Janeiro
cables: Whole companies of Brazilian
troops were destroyed in the last en-
gagement with the fanatics at Canu-
dos. The rebels used dynamite with
great effect when the government
troops approached to attack, and Il
great number of soldiers were killed
by the explosion.
The fanatics now occupy impregna-
BILE positions at Camidos, and the Gov
eminent troops are helpless. General
Oscar, who is in command of the
troops, will suggest to the Minister OF
Brazil that Camidos be besieged and
the fanatics driven out by hunger. He
says it would be foolish to attack
them, as the fanatics have placed
scores of dynamite bombs in the
ground around their position, which
will be exploded in the event of an
attack, resulting in great loss to his
army.

AFTER SEVEN long YEARS
ROMANCE ~ THE LIFE OF JOHN
MUIRHEAD.
His Sweetheart Travels Half Way
Around the World to Join Him.
viii he Married Tonight.

At the home of Andrew Brown this
evening Miss Janet Brown of Edin-
borough, Scotland, and John ;. Muir
head, chief engineer at Waimanalo,
plantation, will he quietly united in
marriage The wedding is the last
chapter of romance in real life that
readily shapes itself into a pretty lit
tie story.
The bride arrived only this morn
ing on the Mariposa, after travelling
alone half way round the world 10
meet her intended. Years ago, when
John Murhead was a struggling
young mechanic in Edinboro, he
became smitten with the charms of
pretty Janet Scott, and won her hand
and heart. They would have been mar
ried at once, but the young mechan-
les wages were insufficient to support
two. So they waited and worked, bur
in vain, for competition is keen and
promotion slow in old Scotland.
Discouraged with the prospects al
home, Muirhead decided to seek his
fortune abroad, and his sweetheart
promised to wait for him. That was
seven long years ago. but she kept her
promise. Her confidence in him nev-
err failed. Muirhead drifted about un.
til he reached the Islands. BY hard
work and perseverance he managed
to lay by tidy sum, and now holds
a, lucrative position.
A few weeks ago he sent for his ia
net. She was ready to come to him
and with all the haste possible prepar
ed for her journey. Mr.. Muirheat
came up last night to meet her. ant
was on the dock this morning wher
the steamer arrived. The meeting
was an affecting one.
After they are married. Mr.. ant
Mrs. Muirhead will go at once t.
Waimanalo, where they will take NJ
