MONEY AND PRICES.

Now If prices were doubled there
would be an increased demand for the
product of the mill because the people
would have more money to buy with.
Take the farmer, for instance, whose
income at present prices is, say, 5000
year, and whose fixed charges-in-
terest, taxes, ETC., are likewise 5000 a
year. He cannot purchase a single
yard of cloth at any price and pay for
it, but double the prices of all product
and he could purchase 5000 worth from
the manufacturer and pay cash for 1t,
which would benefit not only the mill
owner and employee, but would give the
farmer a chance to pay his debts and
enable him to buy $3.50 worth of goods
at present prices and pay $500 or
double the present price in cash for 1t
and furnish his family thereby with a
few comforts and necessaries Of life,
which would certainly be preferable to
a cipher.
Dozens Of extracts from campaign
documents might be given did space
permit, showing that there is no diff
ference of opinion on either side as
to the effect Of more money-all agree
that doubling the volume of money
will double prices. The gold gamblers,
however, claim that this would be
ruinous to the productive interests Of
the country, though they are using
every effort, lawful or otherwise, to
keep their holdings to the highest
point, and are so sure they are right
from a financial standpoint that they
first demanded high-priced coin in pay
ment for obligations purchased with
cheap paper, and now are demanding
the highest-priced money in the civil
ICED world.
Now there are only two parties to
this question, the debtor and the cred
itor, and as the only way debts can
be paid is by the sale Of the products
of labor, therefore the debtor must :e
the producer, and the price of his effort
is measured by the price of the prod
uct he creates. And as debts and
taxes are fixed charges against the
producer, he is forced every morning
to 60 upon the market with his prod
ucts to buy dollars to pay these fixed
charges, which must be settled before
he knows whether he has anything
left. He does not 60 on the market
with the other fellows dollar to buy
his own product. D. T. ALLEN.

Something Rare.

4 young colored woman OF Oswego,
n. Y, recently gave birth to a child
with one white hand and white foot,
and its nose and the central part OF its
face is also white, giving it most I'M
canny appearance. The physicians
are of the opinion that If the child
lives, the other part of it's body will
turn light or else the white spots will
GROW darker.

The steady and rapid growth of our
commerce with the orient is illustrated
by a statement just received by the
treasury bureau of statistics showing
the imports and exports Of Japan dur
ing the first half of the present calen-
dar year. This shows Japan's pur-
chases from the United States continue
to increase with great rapidity, while
in many cases those which she has
been accustomed to make from other
parts of the world are being reduced.
Her importations of raw cotton from
the United States in the first six
months of 1898 were 1872, 064 yen in
value. against 3.S11.S2 yen in the cor
responding months of the preceding
year. Our manufactures of iron and
steel seem to be especially satisfac-
tory to the Japanese, the increase y
nearly all articles Of this class being
strongly marked. The finer grades Of
American manufacture also seem to
be finding special favor among the
Japanese, imports of American watches
having increased from 1851 yen in
the first half of last year to 165, 500 yen
in the first half of the present year
while our own records of expectations
show an increase in exports Of type
writers, sewing machines and other
articles Of this class to Japan.

ambitious of the esteem of posterity,

dispatches increased thirty-told. not
thirty percent merely, but thirty times

and operating the slower part by the
public.-The New Time.

Under bimetallism and prosperity
the Dingley bill alone would produce
revenue sufficient to pay the expenses
of the government and carry on per-
petual war with a nation the size of
Spain. But under the gold standard
the Dingley bill has failed to meet or
binary expenses on a peace footing
therefore Republicans will be in nc
hurry to repeal the war tax.-Silver

other opportunity to show that patriot
ism is love of and support of the free
institutions of America. The firing OF
Chinese crackers is not patriotism.
The discharge of brass cannon is not
patriotism. The display of the Amer
lean flag is not patriotism. There IS
no patriotism that will uphold privi-
legged classes in this country, wheth-
