The present prices for wheat ought to en-
courage the farmers of Tazewell county to
pillow more and SOW an increased crop this
Fall. TIE county will not make enough
wheat to supply its own population with
bread for another year, though it is much
better of in that particular this year than
last. We urge upon our farmer friends the
Importance of raising more wheat. Let
every farmer in the county try to raise
more in 1898 than he did in 1897.

SILVER'S FALL HURTS LABOR.
Striking Effect of the Decrease in Value
on Silver Mexico.

Washington, Aug. 2o.-TEe practical eff
fects in a silver country of the fall of silver
are set forth in strong light by a report
received by State Department from Consul
General j. G. Donnelly, ofNeuvo Larendo,
Mex. Mr. Donnelly's report is brief and to
the point as follows;-
81 have the honor to report marked rise
in the price of all commodities in Mxico
as the result of the recent fall in the price
of silver. This was to be expected of i'm
ported goods, but domestic products and
even rents have risen.
"There have been no corresponding adj
vance. however, in wages or salaries.
Labor stays on its silver basis"
This report is in line with other infor-
nation reaching here, The Mexican
Government is receiving silver in payment
for taxes, while it is compelled to pay gold
on the interest and principal of its debt.
The Mexican dollar is at present worth
about 40 cents, so that it takes $3.50 of
Mexican silver to pay every 81 in gold of
debt. This is proving tremendous drain
upon the Government.
At the same time, as MIR. Donnelly
points out, the price of commodities has
risen measured in Mexican silver.
1t is noticeable that the government and
labor are the two elements to suffer most,
the Government being drained by its gold
payments, and labor suffering by having
its wages remain on silver basis while
silver is declining.
LOSS ON U. e. GOVERNMENT SILVER.
The Government has lost approximately
S66 200, 900 on the decline ofsilver within
fourteen months. This is basel on
treasury figures of the original cost ofsilver
bullion and the value Of that metal.
The process has been going on so grad
ually that the effect of the decline on the
Government holdings has not before at
tracted public attention. At present, how
ever, with the price of silver declining
every day, attention was directed to the
loss sustained by the Government on its
cords of silver now stored in the Govern
ment vaults. This led to the comparison
Of original costs with present selling price,
disclosing the remarkable aggregate of loss
already sustained.
The accumulation of silver has been
going on steadily since 1878, first under the
Bland-Allison act and then under the
Sherman law.
Without offering any comment on the
figures, Director of the Mint Preston to-day
gave the amount of the Governments
silver holding, the original cost, etc. This
shows that the Government stock ofsilver
cost S464 ,210, 1868.

Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1897-08-26


These figures can only be approximately
correct, but as such are valuable. The in
creased production is based entirely upon
estimate, and must necessarily be, since the
crop is not yet. entirely harvested; but, as
we have said, the estimate is a concensus OF
the opinions of a number Of men engaged
in raising these crops, arrived at by them
through experience and obsel walton.
We have taken no account of the in
creased production and enhanced price of
rye, barley, potatoes and the various grades
of hay. Those of our readers with sta
tistical bent can, if they choose, carry the
calculation down through list, aided by
the following report of the value of the
