"Free Coinage" Demand Is misleading.

''Free coinage" demand Is m1SleaulnSs
If any advocate of the free coinage of
silver dollars or copper dollars or iron
dollars at any ratio, 16 to 1, more or
less, will agree to stop there and ask
nothing more, I for one am prepared to
meet him, and in that way to stop the
present contest. Who would want them?
Not one of these men will consent to
free coinage on those terms. Not one of
them would be satisfied. Not one of
them would then get what he is after
under the pretext that free coinage and
"equal rights of gold and silver" are all
that he wants. I challenge any one to
find an advocate of free coinage at 16 to
on these simple terms-that both gold
and silver should be treated alike; that
both gold and silver coins shall be made
for any one who takes the bullion to
the mint to any number that he wants.
I challenge any advocate of free coinage
to deny that free coinage, pure and SIM
pie, is not what he demands, and not
one of them will dare to meet this chal-
lenge.
This demand for free coinage is a
cover intended to conceal the true pur-
pose of those who ask it. Most of those
who support this measure have been de-
ceived and misled. Let such men put
the question to any owner of silver
mines, to any senator Or representative
in congress or to any and every candi-
date on the free coinage platform in
the following terms:
eff we grant free or unlimited coin
age, without charge f,G the coming,
Will you demand nothing more?" Not
a man who knows what the true pur-
pose is will answer eyes" to that ques-
ton. Edward Atkinson.

His Sign Manual.

Any one who has ever seen the Gov
ernor's privatc lecretary's sigma
tire, will appreciate the following
from the New York Sun. In
the course of business recently Lu Kells
received draft with Tam's endorse
ment, and after turning the signature
u side down, side ways and corner
wise, he concluded to pay the instru-
ment, without protest, as he felt would
have been the safer plan. A chrome
goes as a premium to every one who
can make it read "TAMS BIXBY:"
Our esteemed contemporary the st.
Paul Dispatch, is either trying to be
jocose with the Hon. Tams Bixby of
Minnesota or it is innocently raising
wheat may be false hopes in his exper-
fenced bosom. Mr.. Bixby is Cop
pher Republican of great name and
service, and doubtless worthy to as
pire to and receive high office, but it
may be considering too curiously to
consider that he will be appointed
treasurer of the United States because
he writes hand incapable of imitation
and ''his selection as national trea-
surer will put an end to the lucrative
business of counterfeiting. 1t NAV
be that, as the Hon. Tams Bixby's adj
mirer says, this statements signature
''is as hard to make as a, constitutionl
law against trust as hard to decipher
as Pioneer Press editorial, as impos-
sible of initiation as Populist decla-
ration of principles. 1t may be that
this strange writing turned "upside
down, crosswlse, or slantendicular is
the same explicable!puzzle." Eviden-
thy Mr.. Bixby is a symmetrical and
original, though, perhaps, too obscure
writer, if the specimens of his sigma
ture given by our esteemed contempo-
rary is genuine. This signature seems
to consist of transverse section of
horsehair or wire fence rampant on an
inebriated letter 2 or piece of light
ming. And yet it may well happen that
it will not be Mr.. Bixby's fortune to
be treasurer of the United States. Our
own voice would be for sending him to
the department of agriculture for the
sake of having his signature analysed
and classified.

Can't Export Laws.

No civilized country can confine its
citizens within it's own territory or
prohibit all commercial intercourse with
other countries. Every country, there
fore, needs money which can be used in
purchase from and in payment of its
debts to other countries. Yet, howsoev-
er great country may be, and however
absolute may be the power of its gov
eminent, its laws can have no extrater-
ritorial effect. No government, there
fore, can prescribe the standard by
which its currency shall be valued in
any other country, or compel the citi-
zens of another country to- receive it's
currency save at the, bullion value of
that currency in the markets Of the
world.

winter wheat Short.

c. A. King & Co.'S. report on winter
wheat, issued on Saturday, at Toledo,
Ohio is compiled from 4.165 replies
from grain dealers and millers cover
ing every county in the six principal
winter wheat states: 1t says: Winter
wheat will be another short crop.
There was more winter wheat killed
than usual. The condition averages
about the same as two weeks ago.
The season is two to three weeks later
than year ago, when it was a trife
early. Very few complain of insect
damage.
Illinois looks the worst. The pros
pect there now is only a quarter of an
average crop. About half there say it
will be total failure. thirds of
the acreage sown was winter killed.
Indiana promises only a triHe over
half a crop. Conditions lately worse
than two weeks ago. About one-third
winter killed. Missouri also looks
bad. 1t promises less than two-thirds
of an average. About a third of the
acreage is being plowed up. Ohio
has the best outlook. 1t now promises
nearly an average crop. About 10 per
cent OF the acreage was winter killed.
Michigan looks now like nearly an
average crop, but needs growing wealth,
er. Some acreage has been winter
killed, but it is early to tell definitely.
Kansas is an uncertain state. 1t has
fair prospect now and has improved
a trife this month. About fifth of
the acreage was winter killed.
