TIE coal strikers in the east are

THE coal strikers in the east are
only asking for SO cents as against
623 offered by the operators. This
is not a very great difference, and
if the tariff is going to work such
wonders in the way of better times,
why cannot the operators concede
what the miners ask? If all the
factories and shops are starting up
they can certainly afford to pay a
little more for coal, or the coal bar
ons could afford to sell little cheap
er seeing that they could sell SO
much more. We are afraid there is
a little hitch yet about that pros
perity wave.

SHOULD the uprising in India get
fair Roadway, it would be no easy
thing for England to hold her grip
on that country. The natives are
in a desperate mood at the present
time, and should the native troops
desert their English brothers they
would make very interesting time
for Johnny Bull. The matter is
getting SO serious that England is
massing her troops and war vessels
in India to be prepared for the
worst.

The Oklahoma Indians are get
ting taste of being civilized. The
Oklahoma Legislature recently
passed a law forbidding polygamy
and also requiring all future mar
riages to be conducted on the white
mans system. Several Indians
have married according to their old
laws and refuse to obey the new
ones, and as consequence are
spending their honeymoon in Jail
in different cells from their wives.

bullion value of late and wheat
rising, gold monometallists are Ju-
bilant and think that they have an
unacceptable answer to the bimetal-
list contention of correspondence
between the general fall of wheat
and silver prices during the past
twenty years, as indicated by the
index numbers of Sooetbeer and
other economists.
The truth is in nutshell. One
of the chief reasons for the decline
in market value of American wheat
has been the competition of silver
using countries like India and
Argentina. While the wheat pro-
duction of both for years has been
advancing with rapid strides, and
the exchange value of silver in
London has been dropping contin-
ually, the silver value of agricul-
tural labor and products in those
countries has been stationary. In
India and Argentina an ounce of
silver would buy bushel of wheat
in 1895, when an ounce of silver
was worth, say, so cents, exactly
as it would in 1885, when it was
worth dollar in gold.
Here is where the British COM
mercial shrewdness came in to
crush the American agricultural in
terest and make the toiling, payless
slave of English markets. AS soon
as Great Britain succeeded in de-
stroying the parity of American
silver with gold London began to
buy our deprecated bullion and ex-
change it for East Indian and South
American wheat. Every cent that
American wheat fell per ounce was
a cent saved on the purchasing
price of wheat. But the demand
for our silver for this purpose of
exchange served to keep it at
higher value compared with the
price of wheat at Liverpool as long
as that demand lasted. Naturally,
when the crop failures occurred in
India, and the comparative short
age of recent time in Argentina,
the demand fell off and silver be-
came further depressed, while nee
essary resort to the wheat produc
ton of the United States to make
good the shortages and failures of
wheat elsewhere in the world, en-
HANGED the price of that commodity
compared with silver bullion.
1t is to the advantage of the
American farmer that cosmic crop
conditions are likely to preserve,
perhaps to increase, the disparity
for another year to come. At the
same time it is not we'll that he, or
the rest of us, should allow himself
to be confused or deluded by spe-
cious arguments of the gold inter
est. When, in the course of natures
providence, normal conditions re-
turn, and the competitive power of
other wheat-producing countries is
at work again, we shall see the
same old state of things England
will bear our silver and buy it to
exchange for the wheat of silver
countries, and so recommence the
former operation of destroying our
farmers.
The illustration presented in the
current and doubtless temporary
rise of wheat and fall of silver is
one of the strongest arguments for
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1897-08-28

FRENCH REPUTATION"

generally known that the Bank OF
France is redeeming its obligations
in silver. AT all events that har-
rowing fact appears to have escaped
the attention and notice Of the gold
standard writer's and speakers OF
these United States. Any person
who goes to the banks counters and
seeks gold payments is turned
down; or rather the person who
would go there with such demand
would be turned down. This has
been going on for some time since
the closing of the minis to silver.
No man has been paid in gold be-
cause he wanted gold. The ones
ton is and always has been, what
is pleasing and convenient to the
Bank of France? The bank re-
tains the option to pay in either
metal. 1t does not ask the man on
the outside of its counters which he
wants.
Is this redemption in fifty cent
dollars, or ten cent francs, repudia-
ton? Has anybody lost confidence
in the Bank of France because it
exercises its own reserved option to
pay either in silver or gold, or part
of each? The same conditions ex-
list in the United States sub-treas-
uries. 1t is the reserved right of
this government to redeem its notes
and to pay all drafts on its treasury
in gold or silver, or both. This
option is a valuable thing. If ex-
ercised in the interest of the gov
eminent, as the law contemplates,
it makes the maintenance of the
coin reserve entirely easy. Is there
a premium on gold in France be-
cause her official bank, which is
practically the same as our Treas
ury, pays in silver all that it choos
es to? Is there state of chronic
panic in Paris? Do the business
men or the people of France de-
nounce the bank for paying in sill
yer? If SO, we have never heard
of it on this side of the herring
pond.
In Germany the same conditions
exist In England the rate of dis
count is the premium or gold, and
slides up and down at whatever
pace is necessary to prevent gold
exports. Poor old Uncle Sam is
the only victim Of the bunco steer
ers among the nations. He is led
into a dark alley and robbed by
the American pals of foreign plum
derers who tell him to turn his
pockets inside out to save his credit
and give him a good name! And
the old gentleman has appeared to
relish it and has said: $50 through
me, boys; have your fun with me.
| am perfectly willing to give up
all / have, so that you will call me
an honest man and a good fellow"
And how his Wall street friends do
obey himl
But last year the old fellow shook
his head little doubling and for
while it seemed as though he was
about to land sockdolager on the
jaws of his plunderers. And he is
getting madden and madden all the
time. There is no doubt in the
minds of the bunco steerers them
selves that he is getting ready to
thrash them soundly and then to
take charge of his own pockets.
Perhaps he has heard of the Bank
of France and other instances of
European population. "--Silver

ing the matter.
CONGRESSMAN w. s. HOLMAN, of In
diana, was lying critically i'll at his
home in Washington on the 10Th. He
had bad fall about ten days ago and

here yesterday afternoon and buried
him six feet under ground, there to re-
main three days. Sheriff Jackson and
posse of officers appeared on the
scene as the grave was filed in and
ordered the professor to take the man
out or suffer arrest. The professor re-
fused, stating that he was violating no
law, and after consultation with the
county attorney the sheriff found he
could take no action. The subject Is
supplied with air through box His
face resembles that of corpse, but
has not the extreme pallor. There is
a great deal of excitement over the
case.
