FRANCE INCREASES ANNUAL COINAGE
FROM TEN TO EIGHTY MILLION FRANKS

Not since 1893 has there been such
an opportunity presented to congratu-
late producers of silver as there is
today, with the white metal advancing
IN price by leaps and bounds, says the
Mining and Engineering World. AT
the close of last year silver brought
81 cents per ounce the ayeras> price
for the year being 49.7 cents per fine
ounce at New York and 23ia at Lon.
don per standard ounce, the lowest
average price in the history of the
industry. Tuesdays official gain is
given as 73A cents per ounce, an in
crease over the 1915 average of 23.56
cents or exceeding 81 per cent.
In consequence everyone is now try
ing to explain the cause of the pheno-
menal rise and the reasons assigned
are about as various as they are num-
erous. That the price has gone up
and still shows unmistakable signs of
advancing still further is all that we
are interested in; the reason, while it
might be interesting to know, would
not be likely to assist us in further
boosting the price, and we will there
fore be content to let those who de-
light in abstruse speculations have
the field to themselves.
Some of the causes assigned for the
remarkable advance IN silver price is |
the charge that belligerents are hoard |
ing their gold and increasing their
silver coinage, the Bank OF England |
having the smallest silver reserve in !
IFS history. China and India are again |
in the market, Mexico's and Australias
production is cut off for the time be-
ing, and greater qualities are going to
South America.
In connection with the advance in
the price of silver, It Is announced
that the French mint, which in ordin.
airy times coined annually 10000, 900
francs in silver. win this year coin
more than SO,oOO,00O francs.
Considerable discussion is under
way over the possibilities of bimetal-
lism and the restoration OF silver to
something of its old position.
But whatever be the cause for the

present position of silver ii is fact
worthy of mention that it has been
70 years since silver quotations were
on so remunerative a basis as at the
present time.
OF more than passing interest is the
knowledge of the part that the United
States has played in the worlds pro
duction of silver and the effect that
production has had on the price.
In the matter of production, out of
total worlds output to the end of
1915, given as 1861. 936,2S9 ounces
the United States has produced 2,236,
726,7SS ounces or approximately 20
per cent. The worlds record produc-
ton came in 1911 when the output to-
tailed 22S,737,SS3 ounces, the United
States outputting GO,399, 400 ounces or
rs per cent. The average price for
that year was 53.3 cents at New York
and "a 3-5d at London. In 1915 the
worlds production was 211 1867 400
ounces of which amount the United
States contributed 76,371,4O0 ounces or
S6l3 per cent. The average price for
that year was 49.7 cents at New York
and 23Rd at London.
II is of interest to note in connec.
ton with the production in the United
States in 1915 that of the more than
fb,000,000 ounces produced nearly one.
hall or "a per cent was reported from
Montana, Utah and Arizona together
three of the principal copper-produc-
ing states-and that further IS per
cent came from the silver-lead mines
Of Idaho. Thus it will be seen that
silver production owes its prominence
largely to the operation of properties
which look for their main profits from
metals other than silver.
In looking over the appended table
one can readily see that the white |
metal has passed through many vics-

AUTO INDUSTRY
LEADS OTHERS
IN FAST GROWTH

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 9.-The
amazing growth of industry in the last
decade is shown in the report of the
industrial census taken by the govern
ment and made public through the
office of the state statistician.
In the last ten years the manufac-
turing industries in this state of liter
allure and corn increased so greatly
that in 1914 the total wages paid wage
earners In Indiana amounted to S119,-
258,000. This showed an increase Of
$23,747,0 900 as compared with 1909 and
$47,200,000 as compared with 1904.
Shows Great Increase.
The report, which was taken at the
close of 1914 also shows a correspond
ing increase in the number Of persons
relying on manufacturing industries
for their means of livelihood.
The number Of wage earners in the
state in 1904 was 1929; in 1909 was
10,519; and in 1914 was 1877, sos The
value of the manufactured products in
1904 was $336,S41, 900; in 1909 was
$751;, 100000 and in 1914 was $73O,795,-
600.

Auto Business Grows.
The automobile business showed the
greatest growth. From the year 1904,
when there were but eleven industries
in this group, employing but SIG per-
sons, to 1914 growth so astonishing as
to be almost unbelievable is shown. In
1914 the number of industries assoc
lated with the automobile had risen
to SO and the number of persons en-
ployed to 1919. The wages paid had
jumped from S496, 900 to s5,027, 200.
The value of the products manufac-
tured had jumped from $1,699,00O to
s29,390,000
The number of liquor producing
firms shows a decline, although the
output and the number employed
shows gain. The lumber and timber
products industry also shows a de-
cline. Indiana is not shy on patent
medicine firms, however. In 1914,
their number had increased to 1856

GLEN bLAMES
RESTAURANTS
FOR OFFENSE

Dairy Inspector Glenn said today
that in his opinion the restaurant men
who get into trouble for selling milk
which is below the butterfat standard
have no one to blame but themselves.
"Carelessness in the handling of the
milk in restaurants causes prosecu-
tons for the sale of milk below the
butterfat standard" Glenn said.
Milk is placed in retainers and it
is frequently the case that the res
taurant men neglect stirring the milk
from time to time to keep the cream
settling on the top. In consequence of
such carelessness when milk is drawn
from the retainers it does not have
the required butterfat l know that
all dairymen supplying milk to res
taurants are only selling milk which
meets the butterfat requirements"

Wake Up, LOOK OUT, Mr.. HAAS,
TRACTION Line SURE SAYS HERALD

E. NJ. Haas, secretary Of the Com
mercial club, has written a letter to
the Columbus, Ind, commerce body,
seeking information of the proposed
traction line between the cities, via
Greensburg. G. Frank McCallie, a
Newbern man who is taking the lead
in the negotiations under Promoter
Kuhn Of indianapolis, is interesting
eastern capitalists in the matter, and
there is some probability that it may
be taken up in the near future. Mr.
Haas says a representative of a tinan-
cial house was here few days ago
and made the statement that a con-
tract had been let for an electric road
between Columbus, Greensburg and
Richmond This he said was the first
intimation of the projects revival. The
Columbus Herald says: "lf the writer
of the above letter doesn't wake up
shortly the chances are that c. Frank
McCallie who is by way of being
resident of the Newbern neighbor-
hood, when he is not out boosting for
the proposed Columbus, Greensburg
and Richmond traction line, will run a
railroad through his town without his
knowledge or consent, for Mr.. Nc
Callie called on Secretary Lehman, of
the Columbus Chamber of Commerce
Thursday evening and informed him
that in few days Mr.. Kuhn of In
dianapolis, leading promoter for the
proposed road. with a party of men
from the east representing bonding
houses. will come here and go over the
route of the proposed road with view
to ascertaining the ACCESSIBILITY of
financing the proposition"

have taken the offensive, forcing the
Democratic party to pursue defensive
strategy. The Republican organiza-
ton declares the big Republican vote

Judge to Take Field.
Judge D. w. Comstock, Republican
candidate for representative in con-
gress, will take the field for an active
campaign about the middle of next
month. He is now working out the de-
tails of his campaign, which will call
for complete canvass of every coun-
ty In the district and numerous ad-
dresses. He will have the assistance
of small army Of speakers who will
be sent into the district by the state
organization.

sional nominee, will return to the dis
trict Immediately after the adjourn
ment of congress and he will then de-
vote his entire attention to his cam

SHALL MOOSE
RECEIVE POSTS?

What shall we do with the Pro-
cressives? This question gave rise to
considerable trouble today when the
county commissioners brought up the
proposition of appointing members of
the registration boards for the regis
tration to be held october g.
Under the registration act Of 1913
the Progressives should receive all
the best appointments since in the
election of 1914 they carried the high
est number of votes Of any party in
this county. But now there are
scarcely enough Progressives in the
county to I'LL the appointments on the
boards. the commissioners were ad-
vised
The votes of the different parties in
1914 for the secretary of state, show
the Progressives had the largest num-
Der, the Democrats second and the
Republicans, third.
Commissioners are ready to appoint
members Of the registration boards
but as yet no recommendations have
been received from the county chair
men. The law requires that they be
appointed in August
II is likely that Richard Wigmore,
county chairman of the Progressive
party, will be called before the COM
missioners at the next meeting to ex-
plain whether his party will demand
representation on the boards.
II the Progressives insist to their
rights and make recommendations for
registration clerks, each registration
board in the county will consist OF one
Republican. one Democrat and one
Progressive.

SOCIALIST ANSWERS
ARTICLE ADVANCED
BY Tiff RECENTLY

No meeting of the Young Peoples
Socialist league was held last evening
on account of the Willard meeting.
Walter Willard, of Cincinnati, spoke
to about two hundred persons at Sixth
and Main street. His subject was.
why We Must Have Capitalists"
and his purpose was to prove that the
Democrats and Republicans were right
and the Socialists were wrong.
Willard said there were two ways
to get a railroad built. The first was
the Democrat and Republican ways of
going to capitalist and asking him to
construct the road, and the second
was for the people collectively to build
the road.
Just as long as you believe that
you think you haven't the brains or
aren't competent to build your own rail
roads, but admit that you must have a
guardian to first rob you and then to
give you back a small part of what
they took in the form of railroads.
you are fit to vote the Republican and
Democratic ticket, but as soon as you
gain confidence in your ability to as
sumo the full social product of your
toll and pay your debt to the future
with part of it, you must vote the So
cialist ticket"
Mr.. Willard answered part of Mr.
Edgar lifts recent article.
