Treasury Tables show the ssstemesss
Of GoIdites 10 De without
Foundation.

The claim made that there lis an over I
prodnction of silver since 1873 as com (
pared with gold and that this Is the
cause OF Its fall in price, is absolutely
without foundation. According TO the
tables ISSUED by the treasury depart
ment August &c. 1898. showing the total
production Of gold and silver in the
world at coinage value, IT appears that
from the year 1902, when our monetary
system was founded. 10 the year 1852,
being q period OF 60 years, the total pro
duction of silver In the world, rating II
at coinage value, was SLIGO, 1877 900. and
the total production of gold during that
time was 5000. $4,000; that is, there
was almost twice as much silver pro
duced NJ gold. The production OF each
metal Of course varied greatly during
the different years. and yet the market
ratio between the two metals remained
| practically the same during all that
| time. The tables show that during
those co years there was variance OF
| only scvcn-tenths of one point, or just
about the cost OF exchange. The same
tables show that from 1852 to 1873 the
total gold production Of the world was
sa.5tG.5.500O. while the total silver pro-
duction was $0s0.225 900; that is. there
was 2N. times as much gold produced
MS silver, vet the market ratio remained
undsturbed during those 2l years. just
ms it had during the period of 60 years
when there was twice as much silver as
gold Again, the same treasury tables
show that from 1873 to 1892, inclusive,
the total gold production of the world
was 81. l7G, sos 600. while the silver pro.
duction was So i7.os7,000; that is. the
production of gold was nearly equal &c
that of silver. During the first two
periods silver was n money metal; dur
ing the last period il was not. The fact
that during the first two periods, cover
ing over SO years, the market ratio re

PRODUCTION OF WHEAT.
In silver Using Countries the Cost II
naming More Sta
tionary.

A few months ago wheat could be
produced in the United States. shipped
TO England. and sold at IL cents per
bushel cheaper than like quantity
could be raised and shipped 10 the
same markets from Russia. India or Ar
gentinc Repubic-the great wheat-pro-
ducing countries of the world. I'M
proved machinery in those countries
has probably cheapened its produc-
ton TO some degree, and for the sake
OF argument, / will admit that il can
be laid down either in London or Liv-
erpool at the same price per bushel.
II this be true. then the wheat from all
over the world would come into com
petition with ours in foreign markets,
and if the quality were the same u
would appear TO the casual observer
that the wheat produced in the United
States would sell on equal terms with
that from other countries. but such
Is not the fact. Why? For this reason;
Because we are a gold standard ma
ton. and il is easier TO effect exchanges
among those having common me-
dunn OF exchange. In this country
there is no difference between the value
of gold and silver money-it is all re-
dcemable in gold-while in the silver
using countries gold is at premium oil
about 100 per cent. In the past 70 years
| in silver-using countries, there mas
been no material change either in
nriccs or in wages when computed In
silver. The link that held the two met
ais together from time immcmoriai 10
1878 was free coinage of both. When
free coinage was denied silver, that
metal began to Gepreciate in vafie ana
prices in silver nre no longer prices IN
pold. Hence the difference in prices
between n gold-using and silvcr-using
nation But how does this AFFECT the
American farmer? In this way: The
same quantity of silver in silver-using
countries will buy as much material
or labor as ever. while il takes one-hail
as much gold to buy the silver as IL die
in 1873 This gives England an oppor
tunity to buy up the silver product
coin II into rupees, and buy the whea
OF India TO come into competition witt
the American wheat in the markets o
the world. This. and similar instances
have cheapened the price OF our prod
uct because il is equal to bounty o.
exports to the difference between tn
price of gold and silver. This is an IN
lust discrimination against the farm
ers OF this country. IL has MATERIAL
chcapened the price Of wheat. and O
its price has gone down until the cos
of production leaves no margin to til

A False Alarm.

Some one told old Jim Hewson, the
bear-hunter, who lives on Bill Williams
Mountain, that Giveadam Gulch had
been captured by the Spaniards, and
he arrived in town Tuesday to see
about it. Old Jim can tell the track Of
a cinnamon bear from a grizzly even
on a dark night, but he's off on Span
iards. He didn't stop to figure how
they got here, but his patriotic feelings
sent him along on his old cayuse at a
gallop, and he was greatly disappoint-
ed to find things running along as
usual. AS a solace he went on drunk,
and after he had shot the insulators
off of thirteen telegraph poles, yelled
himself hoarse and fired away one hun
dred cartridges we had him locked up.
Sentence was suspended next morning,
however, and he started for his cave
in the mountains to wait the call for
more troops. Old Jim can yell like the
scream Of cyclone and a bears eye
at forty rods Is sure target, and If
he ever gets chance to land in Cuba
the Spaniards will want to escape him.

opinion of Europe. He proved himself
an admirable King, and the worthy
Belgians showed themselves to be ca
pable of self-government and of loyalty
to their adopted ruler. Leopold took
virtual charge of the foreign policy.
His influence was felt in every depart
ment of the state. He was not content
to be a figurehead. But he was careful
never to overstep the line that sepa-
rates the constitutional monarch from
the absolute monarch. He once said to
those who had aided In the freeing of
Belgium and in calling him to the
throne: You have made Belgium
but have introduced her to her neigh
bors."
In the dark year of 1S4S, Belgium was
the only country in Europe that re-
manned mistaken. Plots, conspiracies,
tumult and discomfort were rife
among the people. Every King doubted
his subjects. France revolted against
Louis Philippe, who was forced to fly
for safety to England, where he land
ed at Newhaven under the name of
"Mr. Smith," Throughout this troubled
time Leopold remained in Brussels al
most the only King in Europe whose
life and throne were secure.
