of 200,000,000 ouncci of American silver and
the c6inugo of or Issuance of certificates
upon the fifty or sixty millions of sclgnorngo
now in the trennury. It Is understood that'
this compromise would have met the ap
proval of most of the ardent free coinage -
ago advocates , and that the light against
repeal would have terminated within a few
days. But President Cleveland stated last
tilght that no compromise should be consid

tory < Ho is confident that the reueallsts
can wear out the free silver men nnd that
unconditional repeal may bo had within u

thnt the silver men can defeat n vote for

lieving thnt there will bo nothing done this

Dlrrrlrd AgitllKt Trillll Wrecking.
Representative CnUlwoll of Ohio hns pre
pared a mcnsuro which Is Intended to-put n
stop to the widespread work1 of train
wreckers. It proposes , for the purpose of
punishing train wreckers , to regard nil
railroad cars ns Interstate commerce car
riages nnd give United States counts juris
diction over all cases relating to tram
wrecking nnd to punish any malicious
interference with the running of trains.
This would have n tendency to scttlo
all question as to the right of
train employes , ns well n > train robbers , to
stop the running of trains und injure rail
road property , nnd its chances of adoption
may bo hazarded by that fact. Mr. Caldwell -
well hns also prepared a bill , which ho will
shortly Introduce , providing that all convict-
made' goods shipped out of the state where
they nro manufactured shall bo tagged In
such a manner as to show that they are man
ufactured by convict labor , and to Indicate
plainly the prison In which they are manu
factured.

senators who nro oxurtlnt ; o ory effort to
bring about the early repeal of the Siormrm |
law complain that the c.iuso is being Injured
by "presumptuous mtorforonco" of the so-
called Now York bankers , who proceed on the
theory that the senators are acting under
their illrcutlous. Tliuy arc frequently invit
ing senators to como to Now York to receive-
advlco about how the light for repeal should
bo conducted in thu senate. Senators Gor
man , Voorhees , Palmer , McPherson and
others , who are leading the cause of repeal ,
receive peremptory letters almost dally
from Now YorK financiers who , whatever
their reputation in n business way may bo ,
betray an utter lack o > knowledge of the
legislative usages of 'Ho senate and the
status ot financial loir slutlon ,
A dlsiutuh from Now York quoted the
Now Yorlc bankers as criticising Senator
Voorhees because he hud Ignored a request
to como to Now York for advice. The Tall

cgislatlon may bo enacted which will amend
the existing law by extending the limit al

tutlonnlity of the measure. While the new
Chinese minister has refrained from com-
ning himself us to the policy to
bo pursued , ho has expressed the
belief that the rigid enforcement of the law
at this time would bo n grave injustice to
these Chinese who ; under a belief that the
law wns unconstitutional , failed to register
within the prescribed time. Ho has had
several conferences with Secretary Gresham ,
with the rodult that Congressman Everett
of Massachusetts today introduced in the

"WASIIINOTOX , Sept. 0. [ Special to Tun
BBE , ] Some genius with n gift forlltoraturo
nnd attractive arraying of figures will , ouo
of these days , strike upon the Idea of ex
tracting from Uio many and varied silver
speeches which have been delivered In con
gress during the past thrco wcoks nil thnt Is
of historical Interest. There could undoubt
edly bo compiled from the one or two hun
dred speeches which have been delivered ,
pro nnd con , upon the silver repeal bill n
most Interesting nnd most valuable book : v
work which would represent the greater
part of the wisdom of the \vorld upon finance.
The 437 members of the two Branches , of
couinoss liavo ransacked the literary pro-
auctions of the world and hnvo consulted the
best living authorities , not only upon the
subject of uiotnl money , but upon finance In
general , and the result of this wide und suc
cessful rcscarcn 1ms been given out In the
larco number of speeches prepared , most of
which' have been delivered In the house and
senate , but many of which will yet bo
spoKcn.
There is scarcely a feature of the eclcnco
of finance that has not como to men in this
congress through one channel or another. It
Is said that hundicds of letters Imvo been
written to and from prominent financiers ,
legislators nnd statisticians In Europe.
Tlio.ro have been ninny translations of works
in foreign languages for the use of men in
congress who were preparing speeches upon
the silver bill. The congressional library
with Its millions of volumes niul the public
nnd private libraries of the entire country
hnvo boon searched by these diligent Ameri
can btuti'sinon with a view to securing some
thing of moro than patent interest ; the idea
has been to dig out something old nnd tried
and practical and yet unknown to the gen
eral run of American statesmen und loaders.
Truly n Treasure House.
The speeches delivered have shown n won
derfully wide range of learning and Informa
tion. They represent the work of months
upon the part of hundreds of intelligent nnd
painstaking statesmen. It would bo impos
sible for any ono man during a natural life
time to collate with his Individual resources
the information contained In these sneoches-
of 100 or 200 men. Many of the speeches
wcro of several hours' length in de
livery , nnd wcro brightened with stories
and reminiscences nnd the folklore
of our own country. Ono could , by reading
live or six of thp leading speeches delivered
in the two houses of congress , get a compre
hensive idea of the present situation of our
country and the problem which has been before -
fore congress for almost a month , und
toward which the country has been looking
with almost breathless suspense nnd eager
ness.
ness.Tlioro are two great sides to the silver
question before congress , nnd the reader
who would secure a valuable nnd intelligent
idea of it must rend both sides. Although
Chairman Voorhcesof the senate committee
on llnunce spoke in favor of the uncondi
tional repe.il of the present silver purchas
ing law , ho Is , known to bo an ardent free
coinage man , and his speech , when taken in
connection with those delivered by Scn.itors
Vance of Noath Cavolina , Wolcott of Colorado
rado and Heprcseutativo Bland of Missouri ,
will give the reader a fair idea of the free
coinage side of the question. The speeches
of ei.-Speaker Ileed , Senator Sherman and
Senator Mori-ill cover the gold or repeal side
of the question.
- Strong1'oluts that Wore Miule.
There have been just two points in the
debate for and against the repeal of the
present silver , purchasing not which have
stood out In bold relief from all others and
served to make converts for or against the
proposition under consideration. The in
vincible point in the argument in favor of
the repeal of the present law Is the ono
with which all readers are familiar that n
continuance of the purchase of $54,000,000 ,
worth of silver bullion annually and the
issuance of us much coin or certificates to
represent it will ultimately , with no other
country of importance using half as much
sliver , drain us of all our gold and place us
upon a silver basis , a position which would
depreciate our currency in all parts of the
world. Senator Vance of North Carolina in
opening his free sliver speech put the argu
ment , or rather the kernel ot it , aptly when
he said that the metallic money of the
world is estimated at about $7,500,000,000 , of
which one-half is silver und a full legal
tender , and If wo are to take the lead and
set the initiative of repudiating silver us
money the result would bo not only a con
traction of the world's currency to one-half
of its present volume , but there would
inevitably follow a shrinkage in values pro
portionately.
Senator Voorhees in his speech uttered a
sentiment in his usual well-rounded
phraseology which expressed in different
language the "sticking point" with these
who contend against a cessation of our con
stantly Increasing currency volume through
the purchase of silver , lie said that ho did
not propose to ' 'double the riches of the
oroditor class und double the burdens of the
debtor class by wiping away one-half of our
supply of money and cutting off permanently
our entire increase of currency. " ' While
contending for the unconditional repeal of
the silver purchase act as the best means of
restoring confidence in financial circles und
securing nn international arrangement for
free coinage upon a uniform standard , Sena
tor Voorhees declared that it would bo im
possible to buy enough gold to maintain an
increase of currency commensurate with our
Increase of population. This has hcon and
Is now the only real -sticking point" In the
minds of men representing sound money con
stituents , men who themselves oppose
InfltiHnti nml flilt innnnv nr nnvrMmr
which would bo unsound in our
economic policy. They are afraid to trust to
future legislation for something to take the
place of our present bllvor purchasing law ,
which , If It does nothing else , provides a
constant increase in the circulating medium
to the extent of tr l,00l,000 ) a year , oven
though the seigniorage romaln in the vaults
of the mints uncoined and represented by no
outstanding corcillcaU's. It has been btatod
that mne-t'mths of the voters of the coun
try bulcng to the debtor class , There has
boon und IH yet a fear of legislation which
would not only ultimately result In the ab-
scncoof further or substitute legislation , In
not only a general shrinkage ) In or deprecia
tion of values , but burdens upon these who
liuvo debts to pay.
TII l'ru\IU lor u 1'luxlbto Currency.
As anticipated In dispatches from Wash
ington u number of times during the past ten
days , the demand tor a law providing a
steady increase of currency equal to the in
crease of population , to take the place of the
silver-purchasing law. has assumed form , It
Is now conlidenlly bdlluved by many that the
representatives of the administration will
be able to carve out of our banking systems ,
both national nnd private , a scheme which
will increase the volume of currency oven
moro rapidly than has the purchase of silver
und its coinage or issuance of certificates
upon it.
Tlicro is no politics in the worlc which is
new being done with a view to perfecting
the banking systems and creating n new
volume of currency , It is true that Score-
trry Carlisle and other authorized represen
tatives of the administration are taking the
lead in the formation of a general currency
bill und that they are not consulting the re
publican leaders in congress ; but this'is ex
plained by these gentlemen in the statement
that it is first necessary to conform to the
views of the president , who will bo called
upon to sign the bill n Inch is to bo ultimately
passed ; and , secondly , It behooves the demo
cratic party , widen declared in favor of the
repeal of the state hank tax , to overcome the
objections which have been offered to that
proposition. In other words the representa
tives of the administration recognize that
the democratic party committed a very rash
act when it declared in favor of making
state bank circulation free , and that the
proposition not only needs u general defense ,
but the plnn must bo Immcnicly modified
and onlt rgv'd.
In the first plftco the republicans hnvo
shown oven greater eagerness i0 replace the
liver money with n .flexible nnd IncronMnR
volume of currency upon jnnothcr basis thnn
have the democrats , anvl ) had it not been for
the pounding which Mhttoropubllcans have
been constantly pjviligfcthe democrat * In
congress ever Mnco thai ! " body convened in
extraordinary session otvitho 7th of August ,
the proposition now Incubating would never
hare been conceived by the administration's
representatives. In thp second plnco the republicans -
publicans hnvo so halnstrung the state bank
|
plnnk In the dcmocratlc'pliitform ' ns to make
ridiculous the finanolaTffollc.v of the present
administration , and lli6"lnbblng which they
hnvo given thd dotrfoorifts upon every occa
sion has had the ofteM of prodding the
administration into hownl action. And in
the third plnco it will1 bo seen when It comes
to notion at the hands of congress that the
republicans will bo the principal adherents
of nny prnotlcnl and sound financial policy
which the Administration may recommend.
The republicans In congress at this tlmo nro' '
neither afraid of their duty nor demagogical
In their actions. The words "national
banks" do not frighten n genuine republican.
Ho takes hold of them and handles them
the same as ho does the Interests tit the
farm and the workshop. Ho neither in
creases the burdens of the banks because
they are banks nor lightens their burdens
because they nro financial corporations. Ho-
doesn't fear adversb "notion from his con
stituents because hojooks Into the banking
question ns n business man nnd ouo who
knows that our bunking Interests nro us Im
portant to thp'porsons who lleht them for
political reasons as these who patronize
them from business necessities.
It Is now believed to bo possible and feasi
ble to re-establish state bank circulation ,
but it will , if it Is re-established , stand upon
an entirely different basis from what It
stood uKii | prior to the Inhibition tax. Under
the old regime there was nothing but the
red It of the state , banks to make good their
Irculntlon , and wildcat money was as plen
tiful in the north ns con federate scrip In
* , ho south during the most hopeful days of
the secessionists. If state bank circulation Is
rc-cstnbllshed by aot of this congress It will
bo secured by'amplo deposits of unquestion
able securities , nnd there will bo not only
Inspections of these institutions by federal
government oMinihiors , but the money itself
will bo printed by the parent government.
There is no doubt thnt this democratic ad
ministration would restore the old system of
unsecured and worthless state bank scrip If
it could. But a determined republican mi
nority in tho'sonato could and would prevent
It. Although Mr. Cleveland comes from
what Is recognized as a bank state , It Is said
ho would sign a bill" to restore the old wild
cat currency , but ho knows full well that a
patriotic minority in congress would defeat
nny net in that direction.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 0. [ Special to TUB
Bcu. ] Every reader of TUB BEE will learn
with intense nnd dirctt linancial Interest
that there are good reasons for our western
farmers mid cattle growers to expect higher
prices for their products. A terrible drouth
has spread all over Europe , causing such a
scarcity ot cattle food and general farm
products that these countries must of neces
sity look to us for their food until another
crop can bo raised.
English farmers and cattle growers have
been paying from 20 to $40 a ton for hay Im
ported from the United States with which to
keep their cows and sheep allvo. Much of the
llnest Block in England has been slaughtered
because Its owners could not afford to buy Jt
food. Crops of all kinds are short In Eng
land , Ireland nnd Scotland. And now comes
the report that Germany hus suffered a terrible -
riblo drouth und her live stock is also being
slaughtered , because the farmers cannot
afford to buy feed.
Gorniitiiy Sutl'crliiK for roildcr.
Consul Monachal ! writes from Chemnitz ,
Germany , his oHlcinl post of duty , as fol
lows , under a date of a few days ngo :
"Germany is surfering very nave-rely from
a scaicity of hay und fodder. The deficit is
so great that it has taken the form of n na-
tioiml calamity. In places protests are be
ing inado ngamst the fall army maneuvers
because of the so-called futternot ( fodder
scarcity. )
"Tho crop failure is wldesproad. Its in
fluence will linger for a long time and will
bo felt in nil the meat markets nnd ex
changes of the empire.
"Farmers , to save part of their cattle ,
have been obliged to sell or kill the lonst
valuable of their herds. In Saxony thu
chairman of the combined agricultural
unions sent out circular letters to the chnir-
uien of 418 local agricultural clubs or socie
ties. Ho got Hit answers. Of thcsq forty-
live acknowledged tua t > : ilo of from 10 to bO
pur cent of their entire stock. In , ttio dis-
trlct of ChomniU 10 per cent wcro sold , and
in Dresden " 0 per cent.
"Ab n rule , the sale of cattle wns proportional
tional to the si/o of the farm , Persons
having distilleries of any kind on the farm
and these who produced sugar-yielding roots
sold only such tattle as had llttlo or no value
for agricultural purposes. The largo farm
ers , especially these who carry fodder from
year to year , bold from 10 to IS per cent ol
their stock. The middle nnd snuU
farmers sold from " 0 to 25 per cent , the
difference depending upon each farmer's
knowledge and skill in the treatment , of ills
grain and grass fields. The very smul
farmer had to sell often as high as 80 per
cent of his cattle to save the remaining " (
per coat. In certain districts the sale ol
cattle , duo to last year's small crop of hny
had already begun ia the early months 01
last winter. In the Laubau district these
sales wcro sometimes very largo. .In some
districts the cattle of middle and smal
farmers wcro killed and the meat sold foi
the price remarkably low hero of 0 nnd 7
cents per pound ,
"Keports from some districts show tha
sheep conld not bo sold at all , for , even n
the lowest prices ever known hero , In pro
portion to other things , there was no do
maud.
"Inasmuch as young cattle fell first under
the ax , when it was found necessary to kill
u great scarcity of breeding cattle is ru
ported ,
"It u feared that , notwithstanding th

great efforts now being inado to prevent it ,
yet hay and fodder being so dear nnd the
foreign surplus , so far as reported , so small ,
fully one-half of the catto In many districts
will have to bo killed this fall or winter in
order to save the other half.
"All this cannot fail to affect the meat
markets for a long time to como. By and by ,
ns the source of supply grows smaller , meat
must bo dearer. There is no good reason
why American meats should not llnd bin and
ready sales In a country where moats whole
sale at such prices ns the following :
l'rlcb of Mtint.
The primary cause of nil tills scarcity is
, ho almost unprcccdontcdly long period of
routh. Haln has been so long deferred that
oino sections , notably In Belgium , are ro-
jorted to hnvo be&un rain-producing cxpcri-
ncnts , with what results I am not in a posl-
ion to stato. It Is because of what must
omo that I doom It my duty to apprise our
> eoplo through the department of tlio dis-
istrous effects of this year's dry weather.
Not only should there bo u largely increased
market , with good prices , for our hny and
; rain , but the time is auspicious for getting
L good hold once moro on the European meat
narkots.
"How best to do tills is an interesting
irohlom. Perhaps a good plan would bo to
mvo the Germans noxv visiting our country
see our stock yards and methods of feeding ,
raising and preparing bcoC , veal , pork , otc.
"However lot the outlook for boof-sclllng
jo what it may , there is a real and pressing
need for hay and fodder of all kinds.
"Our grain has always boon popular hero.
I'lio Gcrmnn millura nnd bakers turn to our
wheat Holds for their supply when the yield
icro Is small.
"Germany Is n good buyer , nnd pays In
cash or Its equivalent. A people who spend
millions , not only upon the necessaries , but
also upon the luxuries of life , cannot bo
called poor. "

WASHI.NOTON , Sept. 1) ) . Tlio September report -
port of the statistician of the Department of
Agriculture bho\va u decline in the condi
tion of corn to 7(5.7 ( per cent from 87 , The
chntigo Is marked In nearly nil the surplus
corn states. The present condition in 75 nor
cent in Kentucky , ( H jnOhlp , 05 in Michigan ,
In Indiana , 04 in Illinois , 00 in Iowa , Itt in
Missouri , 74 ii | Kansas and 71 In Nebraska.
In comparison with thu September reports
of the past ton years only three were lower.
There hns been u general decline In the con
dition throughout the country , which has
been caused by the prevailing drouth.
The condition of wheat , considering both
winter and spring vnrletlcs.whcn harvested ,
was 74 per cent , agalm-t 8.r > . : i in lb'J2. The
general average \rus the lowest slnco 1885 ,
when it wns 72. Heportcd conditions
from correspondents from tha prln-
cipai wheat growing states are as
follows : Ohio , 03 ; Michigan , 80 ; In
diana , 88 ; Illinois , CO ; Wisconsin , 80 ;
Minnesota , 05 ; Iowa , 85 ; Mibcourl , 01 ; Kan
sas , 42 ; Nebraska , 55 ; South Dakota , 00 ;

In the eastern and most of the southern
states the crop harvested was in gooa condi
tion , nnd the yield iivrragod well , while In
Illinois , Missouri , Kansas and Nebraska the
yied was small und pf an Inferior Duality.
Much of it graded at No , 3 and under ,
and , in eome places , was reported
to bo worthless. In the Dnkotns the yield
was light , \yhllo the quality wan generally
good. In Iowa and U'licouuln the winter
variety yielded well und was of uood quality ,
while the spring varlty yielded poor and
'was of inferior quality , In Min
nesota the yield was poor und not up to
expectations , the quality generally being
good , with some complaint of shriveled
gram. In California and Oregon thu quality
of grain was good und up to the average and
the yield has been good except on the low
lands , where it was greatly damaged ,

"Every cloud has a silver lining , " Is an
old adage the truth of which confronts ono
nt every turn. The cloud which has been
floating around on the financial horizon has
been of a very deep black hue , but the silver
lining , or at least n part of It , Is apparent in
the following case.
At the beginning of the present depression
Mr. C , a prominent merchant of thlV
state and a man keenly alive to the possibil
ities of the situation , wont cast
and hi u quiet way purchased an
immense stock of goods , gathering it
together hero"nnd there whenever an
opportunity presented itsolf. Many of the
largo -wholesale houses were sorely In need
of funds , thu country merchants were buy-
IIIK little or nothing , and bills had to bo met.
Some of the houses had an immense stock
of good ; on hand nnd wcro hard pressed by
creditors , who would not bo put off. Hero
was the opportunity ; the goods wcro sold at
enormous discount * on the wholesale prico.
Mr. C. bought. Ho hul ; the goods shipped
to his store at Lincoln , and now has on sale
