Production of Silver just Sixteen
Times That of Gold, Says Mr..
Nash


To the Editor Of the Globe
AS one of those who are on the side of
NJ. Paradis as far as the silver question is
concerned, allow me to monopolize a small
space in your columns, in order that l may
eucidate as to why l favor the ratio of 16
to 1. AS an economic proposition let me
submit the following: "If the same amount
Of human effort, applied to machinery. will
produce 16 times as much silver, and no
more-on the average-than it will gold, are
the two metals on parity or not at 16 to
II" l maintain that the cost Of production
alone determines the parity, provided the two
articles are to be used for the same purpose
and If 16 ounces of silver will answer the
same purposes and perform the same func-
lions as will one ounce of gold-if treated
the same as gold-their parity is determined
at is to l.
In support of my proposition l make a
further claim, viz: That the same amount
OF human effort, applied to machinery, will
not, on the average, produce more than six
teen times as much silver as 1t will gold
and in conclusion l maintain that sixteen
ounces of silver-coined into standard coins
of the realm-will answer the same purposes
and perform the same functions (as medium
of exchange and a measure of values) as
will one ounce of gold for according to the
Stanley-MattheWs resolution, there is not a
single outstanding obligation of this govern
ment that is not payable in standard silver
dollars. Furthermore, If the nations of the
world were assured that silver dollar would
purchase such quantity of American COM
modities as does a gold dollar. would they
have any scruples against accepting our silver
dollars, and if so, why? If the United States
government should issue a legislative edict,
that wheat should no longer be used as a
food product, land it has just as constitu-
tional a right to do so, as it had to de-
monetiZe SlVer), would the relative decline
in the price of wheat-in that event-be due
to legislation by the United States alone"
or would it be owing to an overproduction of
wheat? kindly answer the above interroga-
tons at your convenience, as | am at loss
to understand why any American newspaper
should advocate a policy that depreciates the
value of one of our greatest productions, for
you must remember that sellers and
not buyers of silver. The English policy is
to reduce the price of what she has to
buy, and she relies on the Hanna Mckinley
has to sell, when we sell bonds, she sells
gold, and the more American products that
gold will buy, the more profit does the
English financier make on each of his in
vestments respectfully yours,
Louis Nash.

Statue of Marquette Unveiled in His
Namesnke City.

StItue Oh hhrauette OnNelIeu IN His
Namesnke City.
MARQUETTE, Mich, July 15.-Fath-
er Marquettes namesake city held a
great celebration today in honor OF
the unwilling of a bronze monument
of the explorer and priest whose name
the city bears. The weather was fine
and the streets swarmed with people.
There were large delegations from
every town in the peninsula. The
revenue cutter Gresham, anchored
within a few hundred yards of the
statue, fired a salute of thirteen guns
at the unwilling when the canvas fell.
A feature of the parade was band
of thirty Indians on horseback. dress
ed in feathers and war paint. The
band was augmented by as many
more men and boys painted to repre-
sent Indians. The exercises were held
on a platform built at the foot of the
statue. During reading of an original
ode a little girl pulled the cord and
released the veil amid tremendous
cheering. The statue was presented
to the city by Hon. Peter White. The
common council, which was sitting on
the platform, then and there passed
al ordinance accepting It. The main
speech was a brilliant effort made by
Hon. Don NJ. Dickinson, of Detroit
In part he said:
More than 220 years ago, in territory which
now forms this state, where the wilderness
came down to Lake Michigan, suffering with
a mortal disease. alone, cold, desolate, with
out shelter. man lay down under the bare
trees. and with his last look, resting upon
the sacred emblem of Christianity died with
a radiant smile upon his face. This event
set down in all the authentic histories of
our country, occurred early in May, 1915.
Since that time the name of that dead has
never been mentioned by intelligence save
with reverence and respect, and nver by
intelligence coupled with learning, except with
honor, affection or profound admiration This
was Marquette.
He sought no earthly reward; he would, for
himself, accept no fame for he desired others
to have the glory Of his great achievements
for his country. and of his noble services
to civilization. But he looked with a serene
and perfect faith on the fulfilment Of the
promises. made to him, and sealed upon
Calvary more than 1900 years before. And
yet while self-abnegation ruled his life, while
he even sought oblivion for his personality
and his deeds. he has niche in the temple Of
fame, a shining place In the memory of man
kind, and a corner all his own in the uni
versal heart of the world.

BRADsrREEr,s PRICE MOVEMENTS.

BRADSTREET'S PRICE MOVEMENTS.
Bradstreet's index number for July
shows a slight sadvance in prices
OF the 9S staple articles on which
the index numbers are based over
that for June. although that was less
than the one for May. The marked re-
covery that has t:taken place among
these articles, regarded as a whole,
Is seen when the figure for July l.,
f2,999 is compared with that for July
1, 1896. whens it was 67,1S2, the lowest
point touched. For July the more
marked decreases iin price are found
among the items. of beeves, sheep

salt, petroleum and hay Wheat, oats,
barley, corn, eggs and sugar have
tended upward with cotton, "copper"
tobacco. prints and wool. The net
average gain is one-fifth of 1 per cent
over June prices
Again the pOund-price list presents
some curious relations. We find that

phosphate rock have the same price, g

Der and cotton seed are each priced at
A OF a cent a pound. The price of a

hay and sulphuric acid is the same,

of a pound each of milk, wheat, peas,
nails. alum and bicarbonate of soda. In
the three-cent-a-pound class we find the
homogeneous articles hogs, lemons,

Oil, turpentine, glass and flax, with
beeves, sheep, bread, barreled beef,
pork, lard, Goldfish, rice, linseed oil,
raisins. lead and nitric acid each worth
four cents a pound in the markets.
Pigs, sugar, currants, borax and bacon
fill the five-cent list, while eggs stand
proudly alone in the six-cent schedule,
having climbed out of their compan-
ionship with. the .five-centers during
the month. But it is very upsetting
to ones preconceived ideas of cost of
production to, find the pound-price

GoIdoMine for Sale

REDWOOD FALLS, July 15.-An order has
Nantz power to advertise for bids for the
fourteen acres owned by the Minnesota Gold
Mining company, ssori which their gold mine is
situated at Redwood Falls. The bids will
also include the hosting machines and every
thing else connected with the sale. Judge
Smith is authority for the statement that
he knows everything about the mine and
that there is gold there. There is no cues

by, with the improved machinery coming
into use, the property can be successfully
worked. There are membranes on the
property which amount to about $500.

WHICH is GOING TO CROWN 1T.

CAST AND COUNTED UP TO
LAST EVENING.
HOW THE CANDIDATES. STAND.
Harriet Finn Running Like u Race
Horse and Leading the Entire
List.

Over $4,000 votes have already been
cast in the voting contest started by
the o b last Sunday morning. The
readers of the Globe who are deter
mined their friends shall be among the
winning quartette are evidently taking
the sound advice which tells them to
vote early and often" The delightful
trip in store for the two gentlemen and
two ladies who receive the highest
number Of votes has impaired a zeal to
the contest that bids fair to multiply
the votes into the hundreds of thou
sands during the five weeks yet re-
naming. The coupons after tomorrow
will count only four votes for the en-
suing seven days. but that will serve
to make the competition all the more
exciting.
A study of the subjoined table show
ing the vote for individuals opens up
an interesting field for speculation
Thus far the men are in the lead, hav-
ing received 10,095 votes, as against
1885 for the women. But at that no
one man has received as many votes as
one of the women-Miss Harriet Fl!rn
who heads the entire list this morn
Films closest competitor among the
men is Ned Cummings, who leads the
masculine contingent with 1905 votes
l.. K. Newman is not far behind with
1,130 votes, and I. D. Tussey is close
third with 1,100 Among the women,
the second in popularity at this writ
ing is Teresa GuthunZ, who has 610
votes.
But the game is young yet and like
other games, is never won till it's fin
iShed. The names of the winners may
not be included in the appended list.
New candidates appear each succeed
ing day. but those who are after the
prize and haven't started yet would do
well to cut in while the coupons count
for five votes apiece.
The contestants and their friends are
cautioned to follow to the letter the
instruction printed on each coupon pre-
scribing the time within which it must
be filed with the manager Of the
