INCREASE OF CURRENCY WHY THE NEW ENGLAND STATES OPPOSE IT TIio Freo Coinago Kill Opposed Hocauso Jt Would MuUu Money Cheaper and ifaho the Jrico or all Products of Xauor Tlio I oar Dollar The New England States irrespect ive of party in each Congress contend against an increase in our currency Without undertaking to discuss the idea of action upon principle it might be well to consider the possible mer cenary motives that underlie this con tention The financial interests of New Eugiaud and the East lie in the investments 01 us iiiuuu nuuiui increases its income from that source is advocated and whatever decreases this income is opposed There is but little doubt upon this point as judged from the past history of that section The free coinage hill was opposed on the ground that it made money cheaper and therefore raise the price of all tho products of labor which in turn would enable the debtor to pay his debts with less hard work this proposition in England declared to be nothing less than a partial repudiation The pen sioners were informed that they would ho able to buy less with their pension money the department clerks were warned that their salaries would pur chase less of the products of labor and the hired girls and widows of New England were told that they could draw less tribute for their alleged sav ings by the passage of the silver bill and the consequent cheapening of money and the increased price of pro ducts From this view of the matter the efforts of New England against free silver is robbed of its garb of hyp ocritical cant about an honest dollar the honor of the nation and many other similar positions and sinks to tbe lowest level of pure mercenary self interest New England by this ac tion acknowledges that an increase in the volume of currency would increase the price of products and thereby en able the farmer to more easily pay his debts but oppose this increase because they the New England people own the debts In order to more clearly show the baneful effects of New Eng lands financial rule a consideration of the debts of Iowa and Alabama will give a clear example it being conceded at the outset that New England and the East either owns or controls nearly all the debts of the nation The in debtedness of these two states as rep resented in the present census is Towa 51C9034956 Alabama 3JU273 It is fair to assume that at least one half of the indebtedness will date back to 18S0 Taking this for granted as the basis of calculation the following propositions are made In 1SS0 the in debtedness would stand Iowa Alabama SS951747S 19513891 Towa is the best all round producing state in the North as shown by the census In 1880 the average value per acre of j the three great cereals was i Corn Jo t Wheat 1 45 Oats 9 S In 1889 the value per acre was Corn S63 Wheat Oats y 26 These figures are taken from the re ports of die Department of Agrieultre By taking the value per acre as a basis a fairness is assumed to which all will doubtless consent In 18S0 the mortgage indebtedness of Iowa could have been paid with the DToeeeds of 9121675 acres of corn 7947157 acres of wheat or 10733806 acres of oats In lboJ it would Have required 13044374 acres of corn 11 0S2124 acres of wheat or 15897520 acres of oats Erom these figures it is plain that it required the product of either 8922 689 acres of corn 3134967 acres of wheat cr 5173656 acres of oats more to pay the 89517478 of indebtedness in 1889 than it did in 1S80 Think of it 3134967 acres of land must be plowed sown reaped thrashed and the product marketed in order to meet the increased tribute demanded by the depreciation ingthe value of gold It would take the average wheat crop of 60000 farms to make up the differ pnfift The one great crop of Alabama is j cotton The average price ol cotton to the planter in 1880 was 11 cents per pound while in 1889 it was 8i cents These prices show that in 1880 the debt of Alabama could have been paid with 174672645 pounds of cotton but In 1889 it would have taken 229576 365 pounds or an increase of 54003 718 pounds or 122008 bales of 450 pounds each The above calculations disclose very clearly that it is New England greed and avarice instead of a sense of jus tice or a regard for national honor that prompts them to such untiring ef forts to keep down the volume of money That their motives are purely mercenary and lack a single element of justice or fairness to the balance of the people They own the debts and are determined to woing as much trib ute as possible from other sections of the country for its use and ultimate liquidation The less money in circu lation all things else being the same the lower will be the price of labor and its products and the greater will be the power of money to oppress Na tional Watchman Clearing tho Decks Earnest reformers have long agreed that success is impossible until one of the twin agents of plutocracy has been driven from existence That now seems to have been done It is doubt ful if the Republicans will again nominate a national ticket The Gov mentinall its branches will without doubt pass into the hands of the party on the 4th of next March and the Republican party will disolve as did the Whig party in 1853 its com ponent parts going to swell other politi cal organizations The Democracy will enter into pos session of the political estate with a zeal and enthusiasm rarely Witnessed Is m yjnMy i TMmJB0Kjr1 4 it Erenzied with success almost unex pected the height of Democratic am bition will be realized and there is no probability that Democratic energies wiHbe devoted to any work of real re form A change of tariff schedules by which no material reduction will follow in the gross taxes on the people will certainly be effected Beyond this it is questionable if any effort be made and the Democrats will relapse into a fools paradise of fancied secur itv to be rudelv awakened two or four years hence by notice of want of confi dence emphasized by the advent of a party of principles bent on an aggres sive campaign The new party is already here It cast 70000 votes in Georgia and was represented in the campaign just closed by electoral tickets in all but five or six states of the Union in more states than was the party that won the presidency in 1860 and for first time since 1860 three parties will be repre sented in the Electoral College A majority of those who have hither to voted the ticket of the Republican party are honest They have been re tained in the ranks by habit by hope of reform within the party and by hatred of the Democratic party The vote cast was a declaration of a want of confidence and plainly indicates the dissolution of Republicanism It is no less true that the masses of Democrats are honest In this elec tion they voted to give the leaders who promised so much an opportunity to redeem their promises That they will be disappointed is by no means a vague prediction The influences that made the Republican party unsatisfactory to its followers are in full possession of Democracy The honpst masses will turn from the victorious party just as they have turned from the beaten The Peoples party entered the arena with a defined purpose Its demands are equivocal Though but a few months old after the election ceased to be a third party and became a prominent factor in the calculation of all men who look to the future Around its standard will rally those who love liberty and who hope for the perpetuation of the Republic Tiie cause of reform will go on No true man will weaken in his devotion to the principles which have gained his adhesion The battle is to be fought next with one antagonist in stead of two Let every man tit his hat to the future Peoples Party Paper A Hotter Day Coming The great strike at Homestead has been declared off by the Amalgamated Association This is certainly a great disappointment to the great hosts of labor throughout the world They had hoped for a different result but the history of Homestead is only an added chapter to the book of woes And yet this result settles nothing at all It has proven to be one of the most seriously contested battles be tween the contending forces but no thoughtful observer will believe that either side has brought all its forces into the contest or that either has ex hausted its reserves Capital is still organized and labor is still organized or perhaps more properly speaking labor has all the elements of organiza tion and effective combat still intact The only thing that may be said to be fully demonstrated is that the pres ent organization of the power of the state is entirely in the interest of the rights of property The defeat of the men at Homestead is due to the pres ence of the militia and the prostitu tion of all the power of the courts It is demonstrated that as far west as Pittsburg the man who will not work on the terms of organized capital shall be declared an outlaw and hounded by all the power of the state to submis sion or starvation And this is just the thing that the workingman has all these years been voting should be the way to serve him He lets organized capital set up the ballot and ho votes it The strike is not our way The non partisan union or lodge is not our way If a man wants anything that depends on law we believe that the easiest way to get it is to vote for it The easiest way to vote for it is to come right out into the middle of the road and smite hip and thigh all parties that stand in the way to the desired end Ben Eranklin said Experience is a dear school but fools will learn in no other That school house has about all the pupils it will accommodate just now And so it will go on like a kettle of boiling sap The scum will roll over and the chips bob up and down but in the course of time there will be plenty of sugar m the bottom of the kettle Nonconformist The Condition as It Is We clip the following pointed state ment from the Winnsboro S C Ad vocate and would just add that there is no way to help matters and get re lief except to force it and a peaceable citizen has no way of forcing it except through the ballot box Education and continued agitation is the only way of making the average citizen see it and the only fear we have is he will only see it when everlastingly too late The masses of humanity are to day toiling and pinching and saving from one years end to the other and they receive only a miserable pittance upon which to subsist and nothing is laid aside for a rainy day We see this in our own immediate neighborhoods men with families to support barely earn what they eat and are hardly able to produce sufficient clothing to keep them comfortable The outlook to them is dark indeed Where shall re lief be found Will the plutocrat re lease his grip upon the throat of the toiler or the bondsman grow weary of turning into his coffers the earnings of his slaves Shall we look to the men who have brought degradation and poverty to the toilers to remove the burdens they themselves have imposed upon them Aliens are constantly se curing immense tracts of land in this country and every effort is being made to control legislation in the interest of the plutocrat and against the farmer and laborer Toiling on day after day the laborers have allowed these wrongs to pass unnoticed until now their re- r T moval will require herculean efforts j Wise coinsel must prevail and the people must be educated in the needs of the hour The people have an all powerful weapon in the ballot and they must use ic The busniess men it is very evident do not pay much attention to the real reason for hard times They say there is not enough money in the country business is dull the people havent got any money to pay with They dont follow this up and ask why it is the people have no money and if there is any way of increasing the volume of money The enormous interest that the peo ple are paying is as great a burden on the business man as on the farmer or laborer and the money stringency af fects him in precisely tho same man ner The sooner the merchant realized that his prosperity depends upon the prosperity of the masses the better it will be for all concerned Ex Based upon the best authority the United States census the following table of wealth and wages extending from 1850 to 1890 inclusive

His sledgehammer blows have knocked out the opposition in nearly every state in the Union National Econo mist The records of the census bureau show there are now living 1073857 soldiers who acted with the Union army during the rebellion The cotton crop in the United States has increased from 2000000 pounds in 1791 to over 4000000000 pounds in 1891 The SUont CUy Many stories have been written about mirages and delusions but none have been more interesting and curious than that of the Silent City mirage which makes its appearance near the Pacifio glacier in Alaska The discovery of this wonderful mirage was made by tho Indians who would tell of the city which was built in tho clouds Tho mirage can be saen in tho early part of June from 5 to 6 p m It rises from the side of tho Pacific glacier It first appears like a heavy mist and soon becomes clearer and one can distinctly see the Bptctor city well defined streets and trees tall spires huge and odd shaped buildings which appear to be ancient mosques or cathedrals It is a city which would seem to contain at least 25000 or 30000 inhabitants As yet no one has been able to identify it although several have claimed t recognize the place There is no city iike it in Alaska nor in any country about it for thous ands of miles Some claim it is a city in Russia others say it is a city in Eng land but none can tell where it is The mirage was given the name of Silent City as it appears to be one like a dead city there is nothing that would indicata it is inhabited They Rrlnjr Money The philosophical maxim nothing is email or insignificant is strikinly real ized in the history of what seem to be petty inventions The man who pitented tho idea of attaching rubber tips to lead poucils realized over 200000 by his invention The miner who first attached a metal rivet at each end of tho mouth of the trousers pockets to resist the s rain of heavy bits of ore made more money than if he had found a gold mine while he who first devised the small metal plates to protect shoe heels real ized 260000 in a few years The glass bells to hang over gas jets and thus protect the ceiling from smoke made a large fortune for their inventor while the inventor of the roller skate made over 1000000 The copper tips to shoes made their inventor a millionaire and the gimlet screw has piled up a dozen fortunes for its proprietors Even toys have made their inventors rich and fortunes have been realized from tho dolls that close their eyes dolls that cry balls with return string and puz zles in fact almost any device that sells in great quantities however insignifi cant it may seem is certain to brinsj very large returns to its owner An Ingenious Bodqullt There has been on exhibition at Mer Iden Conn one of the most marvelous

being a full rigged ship surrounded by an ingenious piece of needlework representing a pretty landscape Another design is a cottage worked in colors inclosed by a picket fence on the gate of which a girl is swinging In the left corner is a min iature lake with a swan surrounded by her young resting on the water In the opposite corner is a large vase sup porting a collection of flowers eaoh so perfect in coloring and detail as to lead one at first glance to pronounce them natural They include callas tube roses geraniums and other varieties All of the work was done by hand and It took Mrs Buell nine years to make it AQeafMuto Club One of the strange things in Paris is a club composed entirely of deaf and dumb men The servants too cannot hear nor speak The president of the club is an

stch Precinct IVIeet and Organize a Jopullst Club lioasou Mith Your elghoor Spread Keiorm In Every Way Josiblo Tho Duty of 1 opulists The conflict is over and while the Democrats elect the President Vice President a majority of Congress and will have control of the Senate also still the Peoples party have gained a great victory They have carried six states fthe first time in thirty years that a third party has had a voice m the electoral college have defeated the Republican party and are on the highway to ultimate success The re form movement will not stop agita tion and education will continue until all the principles promulgated shall have been enacted into law All but bigots and those who are too selfish to acknowledge the truth of all political opinions recognize the necessity for retrenchment and reform The de mands cf the populists are but few and are well defined however no hope can be entertained that the Democracy will enact any one of them into law They are dominated by the lead-pencil-interest-figuring brigade of the Eastern States and dare not interfere with national banks or pass a law favorable to silver or any increase of the circu lating medium in any way All know that they will nob favor government ownership of the railroads and tele graph or the postal banking system The Republican party will not again be a potent factor in American politics which is eminently proper having long since filled its mission This is to the advantage of reformers and the duty of the hour seems plain Let every voter at each voting precinct in every state that voted for Weaver and Field and all others who will meet and or ganize a populist club if such an or ganization does not already exist Let the campaign be kept up Spread re form literature put at least 10 cents into the club treasury every meeting or monthly at all hazards as a cam paign fund Reason with your neigh bors use argument instead of abuse and slander and success will crown our efforts four years hence A change must come and the only way to secure it is to educate enough voters into a new party to vote it through South ern Mercury Startling statistics The census reports of 1890 show that there are on record in the United States nine million mortgages which average 450 each making a total of 5000000000 The census reports also show that the average value of each farm in the United States has de preciated 1620 the average per acre of depreciation since 1864 has been 28 That in 1840 the farmers owned 90 per cent of the wealth of the country and that they owned less than 21 per cent in 1890 Total number of farms in the United States 4225995 of these 1024701 are renters Of these renters 702224 are com pelled to divide equally their crops with their landlords while the great est share asked of the British farmer is one fourth Over one million American renters while jthe homes of our people the heritage of our children are owned and controlled by foreigners Think of it Eoreigners own 84000000 acres of our land enough for a farm of 160 acres for 500000 of our renters Two hundred and eighth one million acres of our land owned by railroad corpora tions and syndicates enough to make nine states the size of Ohio Who own the railroads The money power composed principally of Eng lish lords and dukes And vet we have over a million American farmers without farms New York with its two million in habitants only 13000 own homes In Chicago population 1200000 less than two and a fourth Joer cent own all the real estate Erom 1880 to 1890 the producers increasedjthe wealth of the country 50 per cent they in creased it from 44000000000 to 66 000000000 Who got the increase In 1890 of the 66000000000 of wealth in the United States 30000 leading capitalists possessed 38250000000 leaving 29750000000 for the remain ing 63000000 inhabitants It will be seen from these figures that although our farmers artisans and other toilers produced the in crease of 22000000 a few capitalists absorbed most of it The wealth of the Yanderbilt family is estimated to be 300000000 an nual income at 7 percent 21000000 New York World How tho Populists Will Vote Id the South Senator Peffer being told of the re port that he had said the Populists in the Senate would vote with the Dem ocrats replied So far as the tariff question is con cerned I am quoted correctly We have all of us been tariff reformers and do not see that our advancement io the Senate will altar our views in that respect We regard the tariff question as one which pertains more closely perhaps than any other ex cept the money to our cardinal prin ciple which is the reduction of taxa tion We believe that tariff reform means a lightening of the burdens of the people and with that object in view we will vote with the Democrats in their efforts to modify the McKin ley law It should be understood however that we do not support either one of the old parties but standing on our own platform and not having as yet sufficient strength to carry out our views in their entirety we vote for such measures brought forward by either Republicans or Democrats as seem to us to tend towards the end at which we ara aiming It appears to me somewhat uncertain as to whether we shall be able to vote with the Dem ocrats on many other questions than that of the tariff Both the old par ties differ with us on the other measures of reform which we are anxious to institute We want to put a greater volume of circulation in the hands of the people and to reduce the rate of interest that a money lenderj shall not be able to make more money than the agriculturist or the laborer can make at his trade It would not be enough to have Congress pass a law simply saying that no person should charge more than a certain rate of interest on money loaned out for we could not compel any person to lend his money It would be neces sary for the Government itself to loan the money and fix the rate of interest Neither the Republicans nor Demo crats are yet ready to help us in the accomplishment of this reform What Hocomes of It An English writer says that every dav that the sun rises on the American people it sees an addition of 2300000 to the wealth of the Republic What has become of it Let us see Jjt rest oi U S bonds per day 5 lOOOX lmeresc oa staie ana oiner ooi as j oj i Expenses of U S Govt bonds lOJUriX

Eor certainly a man cannot pay out more than he is receiving Ah we see how it is A man can pay out more than he receives but when it does it draws upon his capital The people arejpaying out 1770 000 per day more than they are ac cumulating That is they are parting with all the natural increase of wealth f2300 000 per day and drawing 1770000 per day upon their capital In other words property is ac cumulating in the hands of the few the interest suckers oilicial barnacles corporation leeches and non-productive vampires at the rate of 1770 000 per day How long will it take at this rate to absorb the entire capital In other words how long will it take to produce a nation of princes on one hand and paupers on the other Eigure it out It is a matter that can be ascertained with mathematical certainty And then you can figure out just how many of these blood suckers will have to be choked off before the thing will come out even so that the toiler will have his fair share of the increase of wealth which his labor produces Chicago Express Xaubeneck on the Result Chairman Taubeneck of the Popul ists National Campaign Committee in discussing the election said to a re porter recently The revolution at the polls seems to me due first to the spirit of unrest of discontent and dissatisfaction among the people of the nation and second to the fact that the old party ties are loosened if not broken It has taken the American people long years to dis cover that the tariff is a tax and that the foreign manufacturer does not pay this tax It has cost them millions of dollars to learn and solve this question It will now take them years to learn that a tariff for revenue will not re move the burden of which they com plain In my opinion the people have simply jumped out of one fire into another The Peoples party will reorganize immediately and prepare for the next contest We are right and will not turn our backs on the principles that we have advocated on money land and transportation before which the tariff question sinks into insignificance The power of money must be taken from individuals and corporations and placed in the hands of the people on the same principle as our postoffice system is conducted to day The land and transportation planka will not receive tho pre eminence they have in the past at least We shall center our entire fight on the money question Cleveland has delivered three speeches since his election One be fore the Chamber of Commerce in Wall Street at their annual banquet another before Henry Villard the rail way magnate at a private reception the third at a dinner of the swell Man- hattan Club The speeches were well enough worded nor was the subject matter censurable but the places and times and auditors were not particular ly assuring to that large class who hoped to see a day when a little atten tion would be paid to the great masses and the millionaires given a back seat for a while A dinner at Delmonicos proved fatal to Blaine and it was at a feast among his courtiers that Bel shazzar heard his deathknell Mr Cleveland might profit by these his toric examples The Cincinnati Herald says When a farmer gives a mortgage on his farm for borrowed money he gets no inter est on his security neither is it exempt from taxation When a national banker deposits bonds for security for money borrowed from the Government he draws interest on his security and it is also exempt from taxation This is not a special privilege oh no Now hunt up the Democratic plat form keep your eye on it and the ad ministration for the next four years It is going to be interesting for the Democrats have a chance and it re mains now to be seen whether they will put into effect what their platform ad vocates Unionist Says the National Economist Co lumbus cast his vote alone for four years He was styled a fanatic Ha stood alone for a voyage of discovery Now the world goes mad to do him honor So much for the courage of conviction The farm mortgages amount to 246000000 in Kansas in Ulinois 380000000 in Iowa 220000000 and in Missouri 314000000 an ag gregate of over 1000000000 in four states iGj5S CervantdS t The history of Don Quixote did not wait for the tardy fame of future ages it was universally read and ad mired as soon as it was published The most eminent painters engravers and sculptors vied with one another in representing the story of the knight of La Mancha The author however had not in terest enough to obtain even the smallest pension from the court But friendless and indigent as Cer vantes was he

part of his life he was for some time a slave in Algiers and there he devised a plan to free himself and thirteen of his fellow sufferers One of them traitorously revealed the design and thev were all brought before the Dey of Algiers who prom ised them their lives on condition that they revealed the contriver of the plot I was that person at once cried Cervantes save my companions and let me

been made to the Mineral Cabinet of Har vard College in the diamond bearing meteorite lately discovered in Arizona It will be remembered that those dia monds were tirst found by a professor in a cavity of iron which he was sub jecting to examination Finding that his cutting tool was arrested by a hard substance he investigated further and met with several black diamonds and one white one In or der to see whether other portions of the meteorite contained diamonds a piece was suspended in a platinum cage and immersed in acid contained in a platinum bowl The current from a voltaic battery was then sent through the bath from the cage to the bowl and the iron dissolved away leaving a black slime which on being washed showed blacv and white particles The black were amor phous carbon the white partly quartz partly diamond The quartz was dissolved by digesting it over a steam bath with trong hydrofluoric acid The diamonds were found to cut glass and scratch topac or sapphire Dia monds are found to occur -in old vol canic vents such as the Kimberley mines of South Africa which are filled with decomposed intrusive ma terial thrown up from great depths Prof O W Iluntimrton recently ex pressed the opinion that since the earth is apparently a mass of meteor ites covered with a crust there ought to be abundance of diamonds at great depths An Anecdote of Itosselli Anecdotes of

last Sunday the performance was pleasantly varied for the delecta tion of the spectators by matching a fine bull against two Mexican lions The entertainment proved a drawing card and fully 2000 people assembled to witness the sport The bull wa3 game and as soon as the liens entered the arena he charged them furiously and caught one of them on his horns While he was busy with this one however the other got him by the throat and hung on till the bull fell exhausted to the ground A bander illero then entered th arena to help give the bull a chance when the lion sprang upon him and before help could be rendered fatally mutilated him The lion was shot the man gled bull put out of his misery and the crowd declared that they had never seen such royal sport New Orleans Picayune JbnxxY let
