discussed the question Of levying a

will not be needed at present.

UNCLE SAM BUYS ISLANDS,
Minister to Chilli Negotiating for pnr

New York, Aug. "A dispatch to the

according to advices from Magellan

lands of the Wellington archipelago,
with the object of establishing coaling

DEWEY DIDN'T SAY IT.
Another Denial of the Recent Inter-
view Imputed to the Hero
of Manila.

London. Aug. a.-The Daily News and
the Standard print Vienna dispatches
saying that people who had intercourse
with Admiral Dewey are convinced of
the incorrectness of the interview re-
GENTLY printed in New York paper, in
which the admiral was made to say:
"Our next war will be with Germany"
They say that Admiral Dewey not only
said nothing pointing to strained rela-
tons between the United States and
Germany, but even denied that Capt.
Coughlin's words could possibly have
been based on anything which he
dewey had said, as Capt. Coughlan
had never been in his company. On the
other hand, Admiral Dewey does not
conceal the displeasure he feels over the
arrogant conduct of the Germans in
Manila.

WISCONSIN DEMOCRATS.
An Address Issued Outlining the
Three Great Public Questions
of the Day.

Milwaukee, Aug. 2.-The address is
sued to Wisconsin democrats by the
committee created in Chicago on July
20, consisting of John Tooher of Mil
waukee, L. +. Ryan of Waukesha and
w. ii. Rogers of Madison, and made
public Tuesday, recommends the organ
ization of democratic clubs throughout,
the state of Wisconsin without delay,
and says that there are three great
questions confronting the American
people for solution which must be
fought out in the next national cam
paign. The great questions are trusts,
money and imperialism, any one of
which should serve as an issue for a
national campaign.

IS TALKOF THE TOWN
The Great Cleveland Boycott Over
shadows the Strike.
BUSINESS is SUFFERING GREATLY.
Some storics of the Punishment Melted
Out to Riders ON big Consolidated
Cars-Ohio Has No ANTI
l., Boycott Law.

Cleveland, o., Aug. 2.-The strike has
practically been lost sight of in the pop
ular excitement over the boycott.
Everybody is talking about it, and the
newspapers publish many stories illus
trating the methods that are being re-
sorted to in the effort to prevent people
from riding on the cars of the Big Con-
solidated. People of all classes and in
all occupations and walks of life are be-
ing affected more or less, and business
Is suffering greatly in consequence.
The street railroad company continues
to operate its cars on all lines, but many
of them are run over the road empty,
while on the other hand the cars of the
Little Consolidated and the union buses
are crowded to their utmost capacity.
Apparently the officials of the company
are not worrying over the situation,
but the strikers are jubilant, declaring
that they will yet win the fight, and
force the company to come to terms.
No Specific Law.
Ohio has no specific statute covering
boycotting or conspiracy, and it has
been questionable whether the boy
cotters could be reached. Judge E. T..
Hamilton, who stands practically at
the head of the Cleveland bar, said that
it would be impossible to collect dam
ages from boycotters. "Boycotting is,
however, q crime" he said, under the
common law covering conspiracy, and
any person who is refused goods by a
merchant can cause the arrest both of
the person who asked that the person
be boycotted and also of the merchant
who refuses to sell goods for con-
spiracy."
Smashing the Boycott.
Adjt. Gen. Axline said Tuesday night
that he had found a way to smash the
boycott so far as it affected the troops.
Every day since the soldiers arrived they
have been subjected to petty annoy
ances because of the refusal of mer-
chants to sell them necessary supplies.
Gen. Axline pointed out the other day
that these merchants could be prose-
cuted under the civil rights law, which
requires all keepers of inns, restaurants
and places of public amusement and ac-
commodation to serve all people alike.
Tuesday night Gen. Axline declared that
If any more complaints of discrimina-
ton against soldiers came to him he
would appoint a judge advocate general
to proceed against the merchants, and
thus seek to bring them to time.
A Doctors Story.
"A prominent physician gave an in
stance of the way in which the boycott
is being enforced. He says he was
called to see little girl who was dying.
He was met by two men, who told him
he had better not attend the child, as
its father was s'scab." He replied that
they ought to serve notice OF the boy
cott on the Almighty and inform Him
that they would not go to Heaven, for
the child would be there in short time.
Monday night man was refused med
icine at.two drug stores, even though he
was in critical condition, simply be-
cause he had ridden on Big CONSOLE
dated car.

In the construction of new or repair
ing of old fences it becomes necessary to
extract the staples. This operation
heretofore has been accomplished by the
use of old axes, cold cllisels, hatchets,
claw-hammers and various other devices,
none of which are i'll the least suitable for
the purpose, hence it has always been
tedious and much dreaded job, usually
resulting i'll broken wires, ruined tools
and injured hands. Fer this reason the
work is delayed, and put off from time
to time, and the fence left i'll bad state of
repair. This Staple Fuller makes the
work of extracting as easy as that Of
driving them. To pull staple. grasp it
with the prongs, as shown in Cut, press

ing nail with claw-hammer.

Till thou at length art free.

CHANGES NEEDED
IN BANKING LAWS
National Banks, Owing to Various
Reasons, Do Not Take Out
Enough Circulation

Increased activity in industry, with its
welcome attendant-a larger employment
for. labor at higher wages--gives to the
body of the people a larger power to alb
sorb the circulating medium. 1t is further
true that year by year. with larger areas
Of land under cultivation, the increasing
volume of agricultural products, cotton,
corn and wheat calls for larger volume
of money supply. This Is especially no.
ttceable at the crop harvesting and crop
moving period.
In its earlier history the national bank
ing act seemed to prove reasonable ave-
nue. through which needful additions to
the circulation could from time to time
be made. Changing conditions have APP
parently rendered 1t now imperative to
that end. The high margin in bond secur-
tiles required, resulting from the large
premiums which government bonds COM
mand in the market. or the tax on note
issues, or both operating together, appear
to be the influence which impair its public
utility.
The attention of congress is respectfully
invited to this important matter with the
view Of ascertaining whether or not such
reasonable notifications can be made In
the national banking act as will render its
service in the particulars here referred to
more responsive to the peoples needs I
again urge that national banks be author
ICED to organize with capital of $4,000.

recognizes as the best. The financial
transactions OF the government are con-
Quoted upon gold basis. We receive gold
where we sell United States bonds, and
use gold for their payment. We are main
tanning the parity Of all the money issued
or coined by authority of the government.
We are doing these things with the means
at hand Happily at the present time we
are not compelled to resort to loans to sup
ply gold. 1t has been done in the past,
however. and may have to be done in the
future.
1t behooves us. therefore, to provide at
once the best means to meet the
emergency when 1t arises, and the best
means are those which are the most GER
tain and economical. Those now author
lied have the virtue neither of directness
nor economy. We have already eliminated
one of the causes OF our financial plight
and embarrassment during the years 1898,
1894, 1895 and 1896. Our receipts now equal
our expenditures; deficient revenues no
longer create alarm. Let us remove the
only remaining cause, by comforting the
full and necessary power on the secretary
of the treasury and impose upon him the
duty to uphold the present gold standard
and preserve the coins Of the two metals
on parity with each other, which is the
repeatedly declared policy Of the United
States.
In this connection I repeat my former
recommendations that portion Of the gold
holdings shall be placed In a trust fund.
from which greenbacks shall me redeemed
upon presentation. but when once re-
deemed shall not thereafter be paid out
except for gold.
