If the statement be correct, a review of the currency legislation of the United ' States for a third of a century deinon L strati", how few, if any. politicians in tiie historian's sense have had to do with it in ail its range evidence is everywhere to be had of a disregard of the underlying principles of political economy and a woeful ignorance of the facts concerning monetary history. An analysis of its parts bears testimony to the truth of the assertion. A consideration of the y whole places it beyond cavil. That which wo call our currency system is one in name only. It lacks every ele ment of what rightfully can he called • system. It violates in every essen tial feature wliat in all other depart ments nf imvernnientai affairs we dor.inate a system. It is not an or derly combination of parts into a whole, according to some rational principal of organic idea. livery where there is want of unity, and instead of presenting to the world flnaucial com ' pletcness it exhibits itself as a work of shreds and patches." THE BLAND-ALLISON ACT. “By the operation of the Bland-Alli aon ail,” continued Mr. Eckels, “was caused the coinage of many millions of silver dollars at a value far more than the commercial value of the sil ver metal in them and of far less value than the metal in the gold dollar with which it is provided tlioy shall be of equal legal tender value and alongside of which they are expected to circu late. And as if to add the crowning act to a scries of complications already perplexing to an unheard of degree, the Sherman law has given us still other silver dollars and treasury notes to burden an already overbur dened gold reserve, without in the smallest measure adding to its safeguards. We search in ^ain fo find some solid foundation up on which all this structure rests, hut the statute books reveal nothing, save that there is drawn about it what I* deemed 'the sacred circle' of govern incut protection, in the declaration ostentatiously made, that It is ‘the eatahlished policy of tne Tolled Mats* to maintain the two metals at a parity with t-ach other u|k>ii the present legal ratio nr such ratio as may be provided by law ' The declaration ts made and then to proclaim the sham and prs trior of It the secretary of the tress ery la denied the full and adequate powers necessary to enable him, under any nud nil ctrcumslaueea. to enforce that policy to the credit of the nation and with the tenet expense to the eitisena' Mr Kekela declared that tha elttsaa whe Bated the trend of events must tee thnl the eteud o* the horiaon was tha ambiguity la trod Mead tn govern meal ewe I tee la hr legal tender teaeee deoted the seattmealaitty of those whe would relate the greeeheche he sause of war associations, and assart st that the temporary issue* of the* Any. despite the appeal* of tha ehtef • teeuUv* and *•-•#**' a *es of tha Irsst e»y. are stilt a Used part ef the Put erne ef the «urroa>» s i.nurni. irins s»:».t>Ktt "It te assorted, soul Mr Mehela "the* »hee the reseeaea of the go* prnmeat exceed It* aeeeaeary aspen t Mere* no further trouble will Ml**, ltd Mb* argument bes*d open hfnsi condition* under a plethora of money In the treasury l* ndranerd In •up port of the contention.

ICot timing KlondlUftrs flu*# Doleful Tslftf to Toll. San Fbancihco, Aug. 19.—One of the clearest accounts of tho situation at Dyea and Ska'faway where several thousand prospectors are now camped walling to pet over the divide was given to-day by (ioorga D. Kish, a prominent grocer of Oakland, who mude tlie trip in order to see whether there was uny chance for rushing sup plies into the Klondike this fait, lie found the outlook hopeless. He said; “If you want to do a service to bu* rnauity advise men and women to stay awuy from Dyea and bkagaway. The day 1 left Dyea there were three fun erals. Two were those of young men who had attempted to cross Dyea river. The last funeral was that of a young man who had reached the sum mit of Chileoot pass. He was entirely out of provisions, and, goaded to des peration by starvation, he stole a side of bacon. He was detected by two of tho party from whose outfit he stole, and was shot to death. An inquest was held and the verdict was justifi able homicide. "At least 8,ouo people are camped at Dyea and iSkagaway. and the ma jority will remain there through the winter. Starvation and death will stalk among them. There are many lawless adventurers in the two little towns on the bleak coast; nicu and women of a stripe who will not hesi tate at tlie commission of any crime when money and food become scarce. “I was ashore for nearly three days, duriug which time I made close ob servations. People who had arrived at Dyea two weeks before had been unable to move owing to lack of trans portation. There were 1,500 people be tv txu i ryi:a. auu uiu qumiiiiii«, auu w»»n included mnny women. Thero were about 3,500 from Nkagaway road to Dawson through White pass and down to Lake Dennett. It is impossible to get through the pass and there is a swamp of feven or eight miles to cro3s before reaching Lake Dennett.” He said few of the prospectors had the courage to advance, and many had no money to return. FIVE CENT RISE IN WHEAT. The Most Sensational Advance of th* Union Recorded. Kansas City, Mo.. Aug. 10.—Wheat went up more than 5 cents a bushel to-day—the biggest single day's up turn since the remarkable advauce commenced, a month ago. September wheat in Chicago sold nt 88 tj cents at the close of trading. The December price, wV.eh lias been a cent under September for some time past, closed at 8s^ cents, and May wheat closed above 00 cents. There was a corresponding advance In cash prices in Kansas City. No. 3 hard wheat, which sold yesterday at 7814 cents, to-day sold above SI coats toward the cud of the trading, though most of the day's business was done at 81 cents, before the big advance oc curred.

A Custer county (Neb.) farmer thus writes to the Omaha I tee: I have de sired for some time to add my in I to through your pupcr to help further its work In railing attention to our state as a desirable home for the tenant elans in some of the eastern (dates. I have bcon n resident of the state 1<n the past, fifteen years ond each year hut strengthens the conviction that for the man with small capital to start on Nebraska cannot bn surpassed. To prove tills fact 1 will refer to my own township. Having no village it is purely a farming community. Three years ago the census taken by the re lief committee found 131 farmers resi dent. Of this number nearly all came here with less than the value of E:iOU to start a home. Yet today's canvass would find thirty js-r cent of our farm ers independent and prosjieroiis. i can name many whose assessment puts tln-ir property above the thousand mark, and many more are not far !«• hind and rising each year.

Tlie ft‘!rOtK) was paid | for land. All is under fence and not a dollar of debt. These are not ex treme eases. The township lias its farmers' club, organized eight years ago, and each winter lias had its farmers' institute without a failure. It is twenty-five miles from a railroad, has good schools and on public occasions gets together as intelligent an audience as any com munity in tin- I 'nited States. I speak of these conditions us pre vailing. and I believe them to be far above tlie normal. Three years ago I was in New Kugland, my old home. I found farmers complaining of their condition. N'o bright hope before them. Property depreciated. The same old mortgage eating its fill stead ily through each year. 1 was home sick to get back to my western home after two months' absence. What 1 say to all who are paying rent or struggling with a mortgage with no prospect of ever lifting it is: “inspect tlie west! Look for yourself, and then if satisfied let go your pres ent hold and get a new grip where at present there is hope for betterment.” With the use of improved methods of cultivation we can overcome the draw backs of the past and feel sure of fair crops each year. The new comer will benefit by the experience of tlie old settler. He may not get rich, but lie will eventually be able to pay. "Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.” _ Kvcry Crop Is • Hl| One. Assistant (Jen. Freight Agent Lane of ;he I'nion Pacific has returned from a trip through Nebraska, and is enthu siastic over tlie big crops. “We are go ing to have two crops of corn this year —the first we planted for in tlie spring and tlie second the one we planted in 11>94, and which came up ami flirted with us a fe.v weeks anil tlfen disap peared,” he says. “What we want to do now is to blow out the light and frighten ourselves with a frost.

The president of the institute gave un out line of the work to Is- followed and subjects were assigned to different members, The afternoon session was devoted to u discussion of the best way to cure hog cholera, and the la-st way to keep it from spreading. The sub ject was fully discussed from different points. Norm- thought the only way was to kill the hog* us soon as they showed any signs of the disease, and , others thought a good share of the hogs having the disease could la- saved by the different preparations now be ing tried at the experimental station*. The next question of Importance was the rulsing of cattle which breed in the main would be the best for la-cf and which l«-*t for the dalry product. Mr. Hrown of Muplet'reek read an able essay on the subject from Ills stand point, having been a practical farmer for a number of years. He thought a great many of the farmers of today changed tlieir herds too often for the benefit of their stock. He thought u farmer who took any interest in ruis ing cattle should select the breed he thought lie could do best with and then stick to it without crossing with other breeds, us he found that in so doing the breed would not do so well and smaller returns were invariably the results, ’i bis matter was ably discuss ed by some very s-t< -e-j»ful st«s-k rais ers, and quite a difference of opinion seemed to exist. Home thought better results were to be obtained by crossing *t... i.i., I. i. murks by advising bis brother farmers to stick to the cow on the farm. The night, session was well attended, the opera house Icing comfortably filled. The principal address of the evening was by I'rof. Connor. Mis sub jeet was Ibc ‘ Kdiiealiona!

Oemfand Dumb Institute. Today, says a Lincoln dispatch, the Investigating committee received the report of the institute for the ileaf and dumb at Omaha. The report show* a shortage of •1,(130.70. It is alleged that the .shortage occurs in the child ren's accounts and the journal account. In the investigation the whole period from 1 H»3 was covered, and many of the discrepancies date back to the time when no regular liookkeeper was em i ployed at the institution, i ne items of the alleged shortage consist mainly of matters charged twice on the cash book and on vouchers, and what are call “unauthorized expenditures.” that is. money that was paid out on charges which the committee thinks should have been reported to the legislature, as coming under the head of deficien cies. In this respect the shortage is more apparent than real The items arc all small, mostly $2 or 83, the largest being 8*50. t«s for Nebraska Corn stalks.
