May Accept the Plan.


II now seems quite possible, if not
probable, that the United States Sen
ate may accept President McKinley's Is
currency plan in which he proposes the
destruction of the endless chain" sys-
tenn by which gold is drawn out of
the treasury, and n gradual transfer of
the gold responsibility to the national
banks Of the country, in conjunction
with an increased circulation on their
part. Prior TO the presentation of the
Presidents simple and apparently feas-
ible plat it was believed that nothing
could be offered which would be ac-
cepted by the silver element in the
Senate, unless a free coinage PROPOSE
ton were attached to It. The uns.-

About 100 Chippewa Indians living in

Crichton will Is Broken.

Judge J. w. Sale of the County Court
at GAINESVILLE has decided that the late
John Crichton was of unsound mind when
he made lis will, and therefore that docu-
ment is invalid. The estate was valued
at $4,000 and the will disposed of it in
such manner that his wife and three
children were given ST each, the balance
of the money being left to his sisters. The
children viii now get several thousand
dollars each from the estate.

Protection and "Luck."

Many of the free trade papers have
been doing lor of talking about the
great luck" of the Mckinley admins
tration in coming into power just at
the time when prosperity was return
ing to the country" They have only
got the cart before the horse. This is
what is to be expected of men who put
foreign interests before American in
terests. They get accustomed to see
ing things twisted.
The facts are better expressed by
saying that prosperity began to return
to the country just as soon as the Nc
Kinley administration came into pow
known that Maj. Mckinley was elect
ed and that protection was to be given
in the near future to American indus
tries. 1t is a little trick which prosper
ity has--to come back to the country
just as soon as protection replaces free
trade. We have seen it do it more than
once in the history of the country.
In applying the term luck" to what
has happened the free traders are fol-
lowing in the steps of those shiftless,
imprudent short-sighted neighbors of
the prudent, industrious man of sound
judgment, who enviously attribute the
rewards of his industry and good judg-
ment 10 his luck" Our present pros
perity is due to no luck, but to the
sound American policy of giving pro-
lection to American industries, OF Sc
curing the home market to American
producers and of providing work for
American workmen at Americans
wages.

Wise Policy Outlined.
Washington correspondence:
While the first fortnight of session
OF Congress cannot always be looked
upon as an index to its prospective
action, the developments thus far have
strengthened the feeling that the pres
ent session of Congress may be as sat
isfactory and prompt In its action on
great national subjects as was the spe-
cial session held just after the inaug-
uration of President Mckinley Three
subjects have especially attracted the
attention of statesmen since their ar
rival and discussions have already in
dicated gra tifying drift of sentiment.
These subjects are currency reform,
revenue and expenditures and the Gu
ban question.
The Currency Question.
While definite prediction as to what
Congress will or can accomplish upon
the yexed question of currency is not
easy to determine, the developments
thus far are encouraging to those who
hope for action. 1t will be remembered
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1898-01-05

that the Mexicans who are heaping
adulations upon the American apostle
of the Mexican system of finance have
currency amounting to 80 cents per
capita in gold, against 1896 per capita
in Mr.. Bryan's own country; $40 per
capita in silver dollars, worth 45 cents
each, against $S.7S of silver per capita
in the United States in dollars worth
100 cents each; 80 cents per capita in
silver basis paper money, against $3.50
per capita in gold standard paper mon
ey in the United States, making a total
of $S.41 per capita, with $500 of it in
45-cents-on-the-dO money in Mexico,
against $24.03 per capita in 100-cents-
on-the-dOllar money in the United
States.
This statistical fiend also discovers
that the increase in money in circula-
ton in the United States since Mr.. Bry-
ans nomination amounts to twice as
much as the entire gold, silver and pa
per currency of all Mexico. When it
is remembered that Mr.. Bryan in the
speech which captured the Chicago
the campaign urged that the currency
of the United States could not be liz
creased in proportion to the growth of
the population without the adoption of
the free coinage of silver at Is to /, the
fact that the money in circulation has
increased in sum twice as great as all
the money in all Mexico in short sew
enteen months time seems to cast
shadow of suspicion upon the accuracy
of the financial views of the statesman
who is now receiving the plaudits of
the Mexican populace. The increase of
money in circulation IN The United
States from the beginning of the month
in which Mr.. Bryan was nominated to
the beginning of the present month
was $211 ,359,33S, while the total mon
ey of Mexico-gold, silver and paper
is Sf06. 900, 900. A. B. CARSON.

resided in q boarding house on

OF the establishment now has good
picture taken Of the lieutenant when
stationed here. ..
Lieutenant Cervera was univer-

Of naval matters. He was recop-

fellow. The woman with whom he
boarded told mo an amusing Incl

a white monkey which he kept as a

at tho house took q great liking to
the animal and asked the lieutenant
if he wonld part with it. Cervera
replied in a laughing manner: "I
will give you the monkey if you will
