NO CURRENCY IN THE WEST AND
SOUrH.

SOUTH.
In the presidential election OF 1896
20 states voted against free silver
and % states for it. In proportion
to population, the majorities in free
silver states were nearly as large as
the majorities in the opposing states,
and in some instances even larger
While Mr.. Mckinley had popular
majority on the entire vote of nearly
600, 900, Mr.. Bryan's majorilics in
% states amounted to 900, 900.
The attempt to account for this
deep cleavage between the northern
and northeastern states on one side
and the southern and western states
on the other by saying that all the
intelligence OF the country was on
one side and all the ignorance and
dishonesty on the other is rs unsat-
isfactory as it is untrue. To assert
that the demand for free silver finds
its whole strength in the demands OF
few silver mine owners is contrary
to common sense. Only five small
states among those which voted for
Mr.. Bryan were in any sense silver
states Let ms set these entirely
aside, and there remain II states.
giving over 600, 900 majority for free
silver, and containing nearly 40 per
cent OF all the population of the Uni
ted States. These states have always
demanded a great increase of cur
rency in any form, and did SO long
before the silver question was ever
mooted. Their demand for free sill
yer is mere incident in the demand
which they have kept up for fully 80
years for a great expansion of cur
rency in any form.
The enormous development OF bus
mess in modern times has made it
simply impossible to conduct it ex-
clusively, or even in any very large
part, 10y the use or of small notes rs
the medium of exchange. Netting
is better known than that over 90 per
cent OF all wholesale business in the
country is carried on by checks, or
somewhat similar paper Instruments
1t is equally well known that a vast
majority of all the coin and paper
currency in existence in precisely
those districts where the use of checks
is greatest 1t is therefore impos
sible that those sections of the coun-
try in which regular banking facil.
tiles are scarce can supply the lack Of
these by the use actual money in
their exchanges On the contrary.
the more they fail to make use of
checks, the more they fail to have
possession OF money. Space can not
be given here to explaining the na,u-
Tal laws which concentrate money IN
precisely those places where it is APP
parently mere drug locked up in
vaults, but the fact is obvious to ev-
en- the most superficial mind.
In examining financial statistics
for 1894, it appears that the aggre-
gate banking resources of the United
States (using round mber-) amount
81 to Sc. 400. moo. 600 or this vast
sum, 50, 700, 900. 600 was held By The

VERY MUCH BUG HOUSE.

That Was tho Appearance OF the Peoria
Building This3laorning.
A cloud of shad flies blew up the
river into Rock Island from the south
this morning and landed ON the
Peoria depot building. the west and
north sides of which were soon coated
with the myriads Of the insects. This
is the first invasion Rock Island has
had Of these river bugs this year.
and the consequence was an enter
tanning discussion about the depot
premises as to just what they were.
Some termed them June bugs, others
morning fies, still others lumber
flies. and still others electric light
bugs, but q railroad man capped the
climax when he said the correct name
was railroad canaries. At all events
the insect, switch appsar to exist but
for day, come from the bottom
lands along the river, and often pur-
sue boats. as they probably did to
Rock leland last night, are willow
wisps in many respects that is GER
tain. And we did not hear OF any
body remarking about you're not
so many" in gazing upon them this
morning, either.

The Present Cut Rates Traced
"The present insurance rate war;"
said local agent this morning. "can
in reality be traced back to IA years
ago. It was at that time that Ger
tain companies, now embraced in the
union, formed compact and to such
an exorbitant extent advanced the
rates ON insurance that many Of our
industries right here in Rock Island
we're obliged to draw out and cancel
their insurance, and to institute mu.
tual companies. We had two Of
them here in Rock Island. but the
union companies made such war
upon them that they we're obliged
eventually to cease existence. This
opened the field to other companies
and increased competition. The
union companies are coming
back with their reductions and seek
ing to drive out the competition that
they themselves established IA years
ago. The aim in brief is to break
up competition, and all that stands
against the success of this design is
the non-union company and its ally
the mutual company"

According to the Burlington pa
pers, the Dubuque which went over
the rapids early yesterday morning,
had some excitement at Burlington
coming up. Charles Botsai, the
mate. beat q colored rouster with q
loaded cane and then with his fist.
The injured man managed to get of
the boat, and four other rousters fol-
lowed him, refusing to work on the
boat longer for fear OF violence at
Botsai's hands. The police were called
for, and two officers responded, but
Botsai had intimations that they had
been called. and when they arrived
and were told by. Capt. Murphy to
go aboard and get their man. they
were unable to find him. and the boat
left in a few minutes later, presuma-
bly, with Botsai secreted aboard OF
her. A telephone message was sent
ahead of the boat to Muscatine that
Botsai might be arrested there. But
he was not found. nor was he on
deck when the packet reached here.
He will probably emerge when quiet
is again fully restored.

Representatives of Starving
Miners in Town.
STRIKE VICTIMS IN ILLINOIS
William Clark and Thomas
Link Here From Ladd.
Condition of the Idle Golfers
and Their Families.

William Clark and Thomas Link
came to Rock island from Ladd, Ill
last night to solicit aid for their fell
low miners and their families who
are starving. The emissaries Of
charity and humanity called at The
ARGUS office in company with j. w
w. Cavanaugh. They tell q sorrowful
tale OF want and famine among the
men in the employ of the White
Breast Fuel company's coal mines Of
Ladd. The GOLFERS have not had
remunerative employment since last
fall. that is their earnings during the
winter were not more than an aver
age of two-and-a-half days employ
ment q week would bring in that
time. They live in the compauy's
houses where they are required to
pay IS month and this is taken out
first. and what they have left for
provisions. ETC., is hence not suffi-
cient for the actual necessities of
life. This was the condition when
they we're working. "The mines have
been idle since May L." said MIR.
Clark, "but early in June they started
up. and the 400 men after working
nine days found that their income
amounted to % cents per day per
man. Then they ceased to work and
have been idle since. Our men be-
long to the United Mine Workers
and our grievance is the same as
that which it has caused our brothers
to strike in the great mining dis
tric,s east and south. We are SIM
ply protesting against starvation
wages. We are willing to work; in
fact are anxious to do so and earn q
living.
Tales Of Misery.
mo one who has not been among
us realizes the extent of the want and
misery that exist in our town and
among our miners and families to-
day. To say nothing of the ill-clad
condition of the sufferers, there are
women and children who are actually
starving to death day by day in sight
OF each other and within the reach
humanity. There are innocent. help
less. little children on the streets of
OF our mining town, whose stomaehs
have not contained food for days and
whose gaunt faces tell more elo-
quently than words that can utter
the story of their dreadful condition.
While with the men it is hard
enough. the condition of the women
and children is dreadful.
1--WE have made every provision
for the proper distribution there OF
the funds we receive. We, in addi-
,ion to the soliciting and receiving
committees, have thoroughly or
ganizsd and trustworthy distribut-
Ing committee, which attends to the
proper distribution of all aid. This
committee investigates and keeps
itself posted on the condition OF
every one of the 400 families, and
when provisions come in they will
be sent to those most needful and
appor toned according to the man.

good"
Messrs. Clark aud Link were at
Sheffield yesterday, where they re
ceived considerable encouragement,
and they met with fair response in
Rock Island on making known their
mission. They will be here some
days and it is hoped they will re-
ceive such liberal contributions as
