United States was in 1872 by DIR. Under
man, director of the mint. Since then
all other estimates have been reached
by adding to the stock of coin at that
date the annual coinage and supposed
amount of domestic coin imported, de-
Quoting the supposed loss by recoinage
of United States coin, the supposed
amount exported and the supposed
amount used in the industrial arts. The
amount carried abroad by travellers has
been considered to offset that brought
back by them-a most amazing calcu
lation, as every American who goes to
Europe undoubtedly takes out 500 for
81 he brings back. How the error oc-
CURED is not SO important as its effect
1t certainly gives force to the conten-
ion that the money of the country has
been contracted far beyond what was
supposed and shows the cause of the
depression of 1886. With circulation
at that time of not more than $18 per
capita, it is not wonderful that the
country should have suffered.
1t is certainly somewhat amusing to
read the remarks of the protection
newspapers on the subject of the paper
trust. That combination recently
frightened the screws and raised the
price of paper and caused a tremend-
Gus howl. The American Newspaper
Publishers Association, which includes
most of the large republican papers OF
the country, has submitted a memorial
to the ways and.mesns committee and
to the finance committee of the senate,
earnestly requesting remedial legisla
ton. The memorial recites the wrongs
inflicted upon the newspapers of the
United States by the paper trust, AND
states that the price of printing papel
has been arbitrarily increased without
reason or warrant. All trusts are the
offspring of the Dingley tariff, and ART
just as arbitrary in their charges, JUS
as grasping and just as determined tt
exact the last farthing from the con
sumner as is the paper trust. The onl!
difference ia that they attack the poke
book nerve of the republican news
papers and hence these forgotten tn,
occasion only-their rhapsodies on pro
lection and their declarations.that it in
creases the general prosperity. TIL
very minute that the shoe pinches then
they come to congress begging for re
lief.

N. NJ. Rowley has a broader smile

There will be complete change in

home town, Waukon, Iowa, in school

Floyd has been called to take charge of
the second primary department of the
school at her home town at Lisbon.
Thus Coggon loses as fine corps of
teachers as could be found, and we feel
assured that the patrons as well as the
scholars will regret that they will not
return.-Monitor.

big barn was to us a decided novelty
the frame being so made that every
part of the building rests directly on
