THAT PER CAPITA increase.
How Increase Advanced From $2I
to $50 In Four Years.
FuIfumsut Of POpuIist Contention That
Increase Of the Circulating Medium
Makes Good Times-Rspub-
lfcan Boast Is vain

In last weeks issue Of The REPUBLIC
first column, news page, there was an
article headed Larger Than Ever
The article gave the figures recently
sent out by the treasury department
showing the increase Of the circulating
medium from s2L53 on April I, 1896, to
s26.12 at the present time.
1t is claimed that the total increase
Of 492,645,O43, or 81 per cent, has been
made in the last four years The Oh
jet Of this showing is to clam a vic
tory for the gOld-standard financial
policy Of the republican party; and the
party papers set up this plea both in
editorials and slug-hesded articles,
Some even indulge in the partisan
fling, "How about the per capiter,'
now?" as though it refuted the pOpu-
list contention and settled the money
question for all time.
1t does nothing of the kind, but, on
the contrary, confirms the pOpulist
contention It has always been declar-
ed by the reform forces that the guam
tstiYe theory Of money was correct;
that, as taught by all political econo-
mists, the sum total of Commodities is
weighed against the sum total of money
in circulation, and, vice versa; that a
plenty Of money made good times and
andvanced prices, and scarcity of mon
ey made hard times and depressed
prices; that money was a government
function exclusively; that government
money was good; that it should coin all
the silver and gold presented at the
minis, make it a full legal tender, and,
if that were not enough to do business
on, to issue its own paper money in
lieu thereof. This position is unassail-
able.
But how has this increase of the
circulating medium been brought
about? First, by the unusual expendi-
lures Of the war with Spain and the
Filipinos. Second, by increase in gold
coinage. Third, by increase in silver
coinage. Fourth, by good crops and
the enormous sale Of American com
modities abroad, especially foodstuffs,
horses, mules, etc., for the South Afri-
can war. These are some of the main
causes of this increase.
Beside this, the republican party has
been surreptiOusly purchasing and

coming silver under the guise Of gold
bullion purchase, which viii be ex-
planned later. In the Fifty-ffth con
gress a bill was passed authorizing the
secretary Of the treasury TO coin the
silver seigniorage Of 50, OO0, 900, and, in
the mean time to issue currency
against it. Then the secretary Of the
treasury is authorized at any time to
purchase silver bullion for the coin
age Of subsidiary coin and to renew
worn coin. It viii be remembered that
Secretary Cages declared policy has
been to increase the amount Of subsid-
larry coin.
The explanation promised above is
as follows. Standary gold bullion is
900 fine. Heretofore the department
would not receive at the mint gold
bullion less than T5O fine. Baser bull
lion had to 60 to private re6neries- But
IatterIy the minis viii receive gold
bullion 500 fine, or so per cent gold and
5O-per cent silver, estimated at its bull
lion value Of cOures. The increase in
silver circulation in the last year, as
shown by the article published last
week, is q, I5O,695. Including the coin
age Of the signiorage, probably the
total for four years would approximate
s1OO,OOO,OOO.
One year ago last December the pub
Usher Of this paper was in the mint at
San Francisco, California, and they
were coming silver as well asgoId there
at that time. The chaparOne pointed
to a silver brick about to 90 into the
furnace. and said: Ladies and gen
tlemeE, that silver brick is worth
8, 200" He only lied so per cent. Its
bullion value was about $500, its coin
value 81 200.
Now the dear republican party claims
that we have good times becau Sc of the
increase of the circulating medium,
and, that pOpulist contention is refuted
and the gold standard justified. Moth
ing could be more red iCulOus. The re-
publican party has been rinking pop
milk and getting fat on it-indeed, it
has been sucking the hind teat Of the
granger's COW, on the sly, and then
comes out Of the pasture, crawling
through brush fence, and, meeting
the old granger himself, struts up to
the old man and says: ''LOOk at mel
See how fat I'm gettiDgT' "Ah, sonny!
Try the whole four. The more milk
you drink the greater calf you'll be-
come" says the farmer.
They boast of the Sl5O,OOO,O0O gold
reserve. Part Of this IS due co increas-
ed gold coinage, part to silver coinage,
part to exports, bond sales, etc The
gold standard has nothing to do
with it. Silver coinage increases the
gold reserve, because it frees just so
much gold from doing duty as a medi-
I'm of exchange. Under the y years
Of the operation Of the Bland law the
gold reserve was increased fully forty
millions of dollars. Let these boosters
that claim the earth come on if they
want to debate this question.

garden is about 100 feet square, and he
aims to dig bitches across It two feet
deep and two feet wide, and about ten
feet apart which he will fill with stone
to about ten inches Of the level Of the
surface
The bitches will then be filed in
with dirt and the rock filing will be
used to receive the water which will do
the sub-irrigating. The main idea,
and which seems plausible, is that the
rock when thoroughly wet viii retain

soil where there is no rock.

MAJORS CEMENT.

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man Of New
York, explains some very interesting facts about
Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard article
know that 1t Is many hundred per cent better
than other cements for which similar claims
are made. but a great many do not know why.
The simple reason is that Mr.. Major uses the
best materials ever discovered and other man
ufacturers do not use them. because they are too
expensive and no not allow large profits. Dir.
Major tells Us that one Of the elements OF ms
cement costs Sis pound. and another. costs
s. IS a gallon. while a large share OF the 50
called cements and liquid glue upon the market
are siLteen-Cent glue, dissolved IN water or cit
nc acid and IN some cases, altered slightly N
useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
TWENTY-FIVE cents e bottle, and when dealer
tries to sell a substitute you can depend upon
it that his only object is to make larger profit
The profit on Majors cement Is as much as
this Is doubly true In view Of the fact that each
dealer gets ms share Of the benefit OF M Maj
Or's advertising which now amounts to over
$500 a month. throughout the country.
