THE JOURNALS INVESTIGATION,

Those who live In German communi-
ties have no need of assurances other
than the proofs presented every day
that the German Americans as a class
are opposed to the free coinage of silver,
in fact are opposed to any form of cur
rency not equal to the best Germans
are not theorists They lock at things
in matter-of fact way. In money mat
tiers they put their hard, common sense
and careful business methods against all
the financial theories atioat and abso
lu ely decline to accept a theory for a
fact.
Those interested in hay ing it so, have
sought TO convey the idea that the Ger
n-Americans We're coming over to
free silver. 1t is equivalent to saying
that water will run mp hill.
The Milwaukee Journal to get at the
| facts sent letter TO each Of the German
papers of the state asking whether it is
true that German Americans are chang
ing to free silver and whether it would
| be wise for the next democratic national
convention to declare for the free coin
age Of silver at the ratio of Is to /. In
its issue of Tuesday, % answers to these
inquiries are published, Fourteen say
there is no change in favor Of free silver.
Many of these say free silver has lost
ground since '96, some are emphatic in
saving that the Germans will do in 1900
as they did III 1896 should free silver
be an Issue, and all deem declaration in
favor of free silver unwise. Four say
the silver sentiment is growing in favor
with the Germans These are C. Otto
Schmidt of The Wahrheit, this CITY.
Chris Roemer of the Wecker, Appleton.

Washington, and J. Weidner of the Tele-
s.aph, Oshkosh Two in addition favor
free silver, but say there is no change
Two say they are Independent i'll poll
tics. but that silver sentiment is on the
decrease, and one favors free coinage

This should give the rampant Bryan

THERE is Il boycott on at Chippewa
Falls growing out of the Street railway
strike there. 1t is a singular circum-
stance that there is rarely street car
strike ending in a boycott in which the
boycott is not supported by the people
of the city affected Is the business of
street railways Of itself calculated to pro-
woke prejudice? or is its management us
Il rule such us to provoke hostility? On
the surface and SO far as the people out
side of Milwaukee know, the street car
strike in that city few years ago was
without apparent good reason. But
residents OF that city voluntarily ao-
copied such Inconvenience in support
of the boycott instituted that there must
have been some better reason than the
disposition to take sides. 1t is evident
that unpopularity can be gained by hav-
ing interest in street railway

SECRETAY GAGE has decided to issue
$40, 600, 600 in gold certificates This
issue is not for the purpose of increasing
the currency of the country but to have
circulating medium which can be more
easily exchanged than coin. The small
est denomination which can be legally
issued in the form gold certificates is 500.
The demand for certificates comes be
cause of the movements of crops
These certificates are issuedl in exchange
for gold coin. The condition illustrates
the evil of having the government in the
banking business. The issuance is arbi-
trary and though there IS demand for
it, it is in aform which separates il from
that sympathetic relation which should
control the amount of circulating me-
dunn. There is no fiexibility in our sys-
TEN. The demands of business do not
directly affect it as there is always an
arbitrary interposition. Business frames
the best laws for its own conduct.

1T IS intimated that Tom Reed will
serve out his term in congress and will
be the leader of the anti-administratio
forces in the house 1t is well known
that Mr.. Reed is not in sympathy with
the Mckinley policy, but it is doubtful
whether his opposition has in it the
strength of revolt The administration
cannot change its policy with regard to
the Philippines without earning meas
ure of discredit which would be fatal
Neither can 1t pursue the present policy
of shilly-shallying without like disastrous
results.

GOOD ROADS.

There is no question at present which
deserves more of the farmers attention
than that of good roads because the
condition to be brought about willreadi-
ly come through united and intelligent
action. In this county the system of
road making i'll vogue to-day is much
superior TO that which prevailed some
years ago And yet the present method
is as crude, when compared with the
process inaugurated by scientific road
builders, as it is superior to the method
it replaced
There is no state in the union in whicl4
it is more difficult to build good roads
than in Illinois, because of the deep soil
and lack of proper material Those who
travelled through this state u few years
ago can readily recall the impossible
condition of the roads after period of
rain, But a method for making good
clay roads has been found and is being
used TO advantage in Illinois.
There is IA certain prejudice among
farmers against accepting ideas which
did not originate with themselves, and
there are people who pose as the farmers
friends who will work on these preju-
dices and justify them and thus win
their favor while doing them injury.
The self binder the seeder and other inn
proved agricultural implements have
come to the farmer from sources similar
to these through which come good roads.
The man who assumes he can learn
nothing from others has no progress
in him, and is rapidly approaching the
condition of a fossil.
Good roads do not come through
chance or slipshod work They require
thought in planning as well rs labor to
bring them about Roads are never good
enough while they can be made better:s
1t is during the rainy season that the
need of good roads is felt The farmer
who can bring 50 bushels of wheat to
market in one load has decided add
vantage over the farmer who can bring
but 40 The profit III farming now
comes from attention to things which
received no attention years ago when
competition was not active. Now, GER
tain sections are making improvements
which lessen expense Those sections
which will not do likewise are certain
to be outstripped in the race.
In every line of business these days.
attentions given to improvements which
lessen expense. Profit now comes from
attention to little things The farmer
must see to it that Wear and tear is
lesseued and that certain things can be
done with the least possible expenditure
of labor If he does not he is sure to
run behind AS community farmers
can by adopting good methods lessen the
labor of hauling and thereby cut down
EXPENSE and add to profits.

there are 900 dogs to each sheep and in

DISGRACEfUL SCENES

Enacted ut Bcnwood Yestcrday-The
blindness of the Towns Police
Force TO Strike LawIessncss En-.
couraSes Such Incidents.
The way Of the street car patron in
Benwood IS hard. Judging by the expert
ences Of the four passengers carried
from Wheeling to Benwood. In each
case the passengers were bound for
Bellaire, and were followed to the fer
ry landing. hooted at and struck by
eggs and garbage and roughly treated.
but the most serious incident of the
day occurred about o'clock. Earlier
in the day man and his wife were
despatched with eggs for riding on the
cars, and a similar reception was given
stranger. The climax was reached
with the fourth victim. a mlddle-aged
man. Of foreign birth, carrying valise,
and claiming to come from Florida.
As the car swung around the loop
in the center Of the town, children
gathered from all directions, the tidings
being passed from lip to lip that there
was man aboard. and 1t Is said that
the news was telephoned in these in
disorder commenced. All kinds of refuse
and chunks Of coal were thrown Mt
him, and he was otherwise insulted.
His hat was knocked Off n score OF
times. The kids took all sorts OF lib
critics. and finally the man reached
the float. Terrified. he tried to explain
that he knew Of no strike. and sympa-
thy began to change toward him. a
drunken fellow, however, grabbed the
stranger. and started to throw him
into the river. He nearly succeeded
the stranger screaming frant!cally and
calling murder" Fortunately the
ferry boat arrived In the nick of time
and by n quick jerk the man managed
to escape to the boat.
None OF Benwood's police was to be

this fact, said the town was being dis

Il Is Hurting Business,

To tho Editor OF the Intclligcncer.
SIR:-For the last three weeks the
general public has been cutting off Its
own nose to spite somebody's face In
the interest Of the street car strike.
The result has not been success.
From the report OF the meetings held
on Saturday and Sunday. 1t appears to
be, not for settlement Of the strike,
but to sustain arbitrary action Of GER
tai parties who are members Of and
control the Trades Assembly. In other
words. "the public be damned; we are
the people. and We Will make our own
laws and they alone must be llvod up
to. without regard to the business In
terests Of the community or the con-
venience Of the few other people that
live here"
We are losing trade and good name
very fast, but II the merchants and
manufacturers can stand 1t, why the
rest Of US poor fellows will have to.

Eighteen Cents and Ten Hours.

10 tne Eoitor OF the lntelliSencer
S1R:-The strike is becoming a seri-
DUG matter; not so much TO the strikers
and the company as TO The general pub
lie. Both parties must remember the
public, and they should be willing to
make concessions on either side In or
der that travel be resumed. While the
writer thinks the strikers have asked
nothing but what Is just and right. he
suggests rs n compromise that they
propose IS cents an hour for ten hours
work. This will give the same daily
wages as asked by them. with an extern
sion Of one hour In the time. The atten-
ton of both sides is called to the fact
that 1t Is the. public that Is the great
est loser in the matter. Come, gentle
men, on both sides. observe the gold
en- rule" and the strike will be settled
at once. CITIZEN.
