A FnBK SlLTKn
The advocates of. the free nnd un
limited coinage of silver nt the ratio
nf 10 to 1 by the United States Insist
tlmt If this policy were ndoptod there
would be no sliver come to this country
from tiny foreign country , because In
nil foreign countries silver Is worth
more limn It would be here If coined
nt the present ratio. They assert that
the Kuropenn nations will not send to
Us the bullion of silver which they now
use nt a ratio of 15 % to 1 ns standard
iiionoy to be coined here at n ratio of
10 to 1 , which would Involve nn enor
mous loss In the rajJo besides cost of
transportation. Tills seems plausible ,
lint Is the argument wniml ?
Of course It Is not at all probable
that the stiver already coined and In
use In Europe n money would be
melted down Into bullion and scut to
this country to be rccolned. That In
deed would Involve n large loss to
Kuropoan countries. Dut what of the
annual production of silver outside of
the- United .States ? It Is to be borne
In mind tlmt the countries of Europe
are not coining silver and that the
white nielal sells In those countries as
any other commodity. The annual pro
duction of silver In the world Is about
11(1,000,000 ( ounces , the commercial
value of which Is ? 12:5,000,000 , , but the
rolnago value at the ratio of 1C to 1 Is
IHHV about ? . " . ,000.000. If the pro
ducers of silver could have It coined
so : is to realize the latter sum for It , as
the advocates of free nnd unlimited
ciilnage by the United States propose
they shall do , Is It at all likely they
wiitihl take It Into the market to be
sold for llttlo mure than half that
unuiiinl , with tin ; probability of still fur
ther depressing the price ? Manifestly
not , and since the United States would
under free coinage at the present ratio
( ill'er the silver producers more than
they could anywhere else obtain for
their product they would send It to this
country. The opening of our mints lo
five silver coinage would be an Invita
tion to the silver producers of the world
to send their sliver here nnd get more
for It than Its market value , nnd there
can be no doubt that the invitation
would be accepted. "We should thus
have added annually to our stock of
sliver about 100,000,000 ounces In ex
cess of our own production , with the
chance that this would be Increased
from year to year under the stimulus
which our free coinage policy would
give to production.
What would be the inevitable effect
of this policy ? Manifestly to carry this
country to a silver basis , and that very
speedily. The parity between gold and
silver has been maintained by limiting
the coinage of the latter and of Its
paper representatives. The fallh of the
United States Is pledged that nil forms
of money shall be kept equal to each
other , and It lias been possible thus
tar lo maintain this pledge by placing
a limit upon the coinage of silver and
the issue of paper by the government.
With the free coinage of silver the
government would lese nil control over
the amount of money to be Issued , ex
cept as it should be determined by the
iiuantlty of sliver produced in the
world , which would seek our market
us long as our sliver dollar Is worth
more than the bullion In It.
If the advocates of the free and un
limited coinage of silver sincerely be
lieve that under that policy we should
have to coin no other silver than the
amount we produce they are deluding
themselves. Their policy would Inevi
tably Hood tills country with the world's
silver product , expel gold nnd reduce
( he United States to the monetary posi
tion of Mexico , Hie states of South
America and the countries of Asia. No
real friend of the agricultural producers
and the wage earners of America will
advocate such a policy.

ir DAY ,
This day 1ms been designated by the
school authorities as Library day , and
will be celebrated quite generally In
the public schools throughout Nebraska
as : : n imolliclal Loll day. Teachers every
where have been recommended to de
vote a portion of the school hours to
exercises that will Impress upon the
pupils a knowledge of the benefits to bo
gained from the companionship of good
books. In some of the schools contribu
tions of hooks arc to bo solicited as n
nucleus of a school library or In main
tenance of a school library already be
gun. The celebration is to Illustrate
Iho Intimate relation existing between
the work of the public schools and the
IIM > of a suitable library that can min
ister to the literary tastes developed
tit school.
There can be no question as to the
importance of instilling Into the mind * of
children In the public schools the habit
of supplementing their assigned studies
by the reading of books. This habit
may bo formed' and directed under the
supervision of the teacher , and Its
strength and tendencies must to a great
degree depend upon the character of the
books placed at the pupil's commander
or recommended to him. It Is all very
well to say that books , like friends ,
nmst bo ot one's own choosing , but In
both tlie choice may be often consider
ably Improved by limiting Its subjects.
Had books , like bad companions
may bo sure , will work their own way ,
while good bookH may lay at hand un
opened. Once , however , imbue a child
with a desire for substantial literature
and Iho chances are fair that timhy
stories nnd lurid novels will be unable
to storm the citadel.
Tha Library day exercises should ,
therefore hold two objects in view.
First , they should , while of an enter
taining character , Instruct tlui pupils
on the books which they have been read
ing. Anecdotes of'popular authors , ex
tracts from standard writers , essays
upon books and bookmaking , rules for
selecting books and for obtain
ing Iho full benefit of their road-
lug tlie topics for the program arc al
most Innumerable. Tlio second port Is
the practical work of getting desirable
books for the use of the. pupils. In
these days of omnlverotis reading and
books without end , It Is Impossible "Tor
the parents of most children to provide
the requisite literature for the entire
family. Especially In the smaller towns
and country districts Is It more eco
nomical to have a common store of
books ttt Iho school In which nil may
share alike. In the larger towns and
cities , where n free public library Is
open lo every one of prescribed age ,
this necessity Is not so great. In fact ,
lu such case a school library is not
necessary at nil , although a small col
lection of the books most suitable to
the pupils might have n salutary In
fluence upon their literary bent. The
Idea of a Library day celebration can
do much good and little harm.

The five Judges of the district bench
who took a firm ulatid In favor of an
Impartial trial of the libel case which
had been pending In the criminal divi
sion of the court will not suffer in public
esteem or in respect of the bar by rea
son of the criticism of their action from
any quarter. The fact that the supreme
court was about to Issue a mandamus
to sustain them In their position affords
conclusive proof that they occupied high
and solid ground. As the custodians of
justice and equity In this district It was
the duty and prerogative of a majority
of the district bench to administer and
expound ( lie laws in accordance with
tlie spirit of the constitution , which en
titles every citizen to nn Impartial trial
by a Jury of his peers , and clothes the
vilest criminal with thu presumption of
Innocence until he lias been adjudged
guilty. Such a trial could not possibly
have been had In the case at bar which
the five Judges ordered transferred from
the docket of Judge Scott. There Is no
disposition on oift- part to revive the
Issue , although the case lias been dis
missed and Its discussion Is privileged.
Suffice it to say , that the action of
Judges Ilopewell , Keysor , Ferguson ,
Blair and Ambrose cannot fall to com
mend Itself to Hie approval of fair-
minded citizens who look to our eourtn of
law as tlie palladium of justice and
equity.

The Bureau of Statistics has completed
its report of Imports and exports of the
United States for the mouth of Septem
ber. 1S04 , and lNi ) ; , and the figures are
highly interesting In connection with the
claim of the tariff reformers , tlmt under
thu now , law a great Improvement would
lake place In our exports of merchan
dise. Mr. "Wilson and other democratic
Readers have held out the assurance ill
justification of their policy that in tearIng -
Ing down tlio defenses to American in
dustries reared by protection our manu
facturers and producers would bo lot
Into all the markets of the world. Mr.
Wilson said to bis West Virginia constlt ;
ucnts that under the democratic policy
regarding tlio tariff not only In the great
products of agriculture , not only In our
wheat , corn , cotton , beef nnd other meat
products , but In the products of our
manufactures , foreign producers and
manufacturers might henceforth find us
competing with them in all the markets
they sought lie talked this way to the
British free traders who dined him , nnd
he reiterated it to the people of his con
gressional district.
What do the otilcial statistics say in
reference to this assumption of the
leader of tariff reform after a month's
experience under tlie new tariff law ?
They show tlmt the exports of merchan
dise for the month of September , 1891 ,
amounted to $13,000,000 less than for the
same month of the preceding .year , nnd
this , notwithstanding the fact tlmt a
year ago the country was in the midst
of the panic. It also shows that In Sep
tember of hint year there was Imported
into the United States about ? ( > ,0K,000 ( )
more In-gold than came Into the country
In September of this year. At the same
time .our Imports of merchandise ex
ceeded those for tlio corresponding pe
riod of last year to the amount of over
$4.000,000 , and , while in September ,
IS'M , Hie excess of exports over Imports
of merchandise was more than $25,000-
000 , last September tlie excess was only
n little over ? S,000,000. Tims It is shown
that Instead of. Improving our trade In
the markets of the world , the conditions
under the now tariff law nro very much
more unfavorable than they were when
the panic was at Us height.
The new tariff law went Into effect In
August , nnd throughout that month the
business of the country was practically
being carried on subject to the pro
visions of that act. If the assumption of
tlie tariff reformers Is good for anything
the exports of last August o'ight to a'-ow
a decided improvement over those of the
corresponding mouth of 1803. Tlie con
trary was the case , however , the total
exports of domestic merchandise during
August of this year having been nearly
$12,000,000 , less In value than for the
f-ame month nE tlio preceding yo.tr. What
answer will tlio tariff reformers make to
these stubborn facts , ofliclally attested
by democratic olllclals ? Perhaps they
will say that the law has not been In op
eration long enough for a fair test of Its
effects upon our export trade , but what
sound reason Is there for expecting any
better relative results this month or the
next or a year hence ? The now tariff
will not make the people of Europe cat
more of our agricultural products , nor
will it lessen the competition of other
agricultural countries with the products
of this country. Europe has always
taken of our breadstuffs and meats tlio
amount needed to supply the. demand ,
mid European merchants will continue
to do tills regardless of our tariff. As to
extending the markets for our manufac
tured products , wo shall be able to do
that only when we can produce ns
cheaply as our- competitors for these
markets , and ibis will not bo until wo
shall have reduced the price of labor to
the level of the labor employed lu the
Industries of Europe. The talk about
capturing the markets of the world Is
utterly delusive , unless American labor
Is brought down to the standard of the
labor with which it must compete for
Biich luarkctflpimtwhenever thin la ( lone
the nnllon will .Juivo . entered upon n

degradation 67 American labor to the

to pay for laijgtir access lo the world's '

Because a i\\nn' \ & name appears on the

Coercion , tliroatw , bulldozing nnd even

Major General Howard sees General
Schofluld's ' suggestion of an enlarge
ment of tlio regular army and goes him
one better by saying that the number
of soldiers should be doubled at the
least. fSeneral Scliolleld was conserva
tive lu his recommendation , compared ,
with General Howard , The latter , how
ever , wants the increase for no other
purpose than to 'suppress domestic in
surrection , whllis the former thought
that the danger 'of foreign invasion is
a subsidiary argument. Wu hardly

be received with even as much favor
as the commanding general's report.

The transfer of $10,000 from the gen
eral fund lo the lire and police fund
will insure Omaha a continuance of her
present police and lire protection during
the remainder of the yrar , until the
latter fund shall be replenished from
( lie new tax levy. This , however , does
not by any menns , do away with the
necessity for economy lu the lire and
police departments. Itccent events have
demonstrated unmistakably that the
money now expended can be made to
support a more dlllclent service. The
departments could unquestionably bo
strengthened while economizing nt the
sauio time. The Board of Fire and
Police Commissioners should not count
on having the funds at their disposal
made up regularly by additional ap
propriations from , -the general fund.

There are doubtless more yet to hear

that he mall a statement of the fact to

Wo guarantee it will be Interesting. It

Boston Advertiser : Japan Is proving her-

such that she Is chiefly Interesting to the
stufllou * western mind. Wo do not share
In the apprehension that she Is to become n
monaneo to the world's peace , The upward ,

Her ambitions nro not chiefly warlike.'o
look for her to take n worthy place In the
sisterhood of nations that cultivate literature ,

San Francisco Chronicle : The report from
Shanghai that China Is suing for peace Is
not at all Improbable. The empire appears
to bo In a badly rattled condition nnd may
well doslro to make a treaty on Iho .basis
of autonomy for Cores , but It Is doubtful
whether Japan , flushed an slio Is with suc
cess , will listen to propositions that are not
accompanied by promlBon of a heavy Indem
nity. The quadruple alliance of European
powers will ha\o somu voice In the matter ,
and Japan Is bound to listen to U , for she
cannot pursue a policy that might result In
the extension of western aid to China.
Minneapolis Journal : England's attempt
to stop the war between China and Japan
has not been seconded by the continental
powers for the reason , doubtless , that they
are likely to fare better In the division ol
spoils hereafter than by going to the trouble
of trying to hold Japan In check now. The
war Is now likely to be fought out , and China ,
with a formidable rebellion at home , Is
likely to be looted by France and Russia
and England , for the French will scizo the
opportunity to add more territory to Tonquln
from China , and Ilussla will encroach from
the north , while England Is sure to take con

This gives 118,000,000 busliels an the ap
proximate reiiiilremcnt from abroad. Owlnq
to unfavorable harvest weather only a small
part of the wheat In Great Britain Is nt for
milling purposes. The oat crop la considered
excellent. There are about 27iGIS | [ bushels
of last year's wheat crop In Hrst hands.
The amount necessary to be Imported to
meet all demands will bo about 189,783,080
bushels , at about 3,640,000 bushels aweek. .
Commercial Agent Held of Dumferllno , Scot
land , announces that the year 1891 , according
to authentic reports will bo uno of disap
pointed hopes to Hrltlsh farmers. Since
June hearr storms have Injured the hay ,
damaged the grain and produced a wide
spread attack of disease among potatoes.
Official estimates of tlio crop Just gathered
In Franco show the quantity of i\heat In
excess of the average. The report makes
Franco Independent of outsMo help. The
drawback on flours , upon exportation , made
from the duty paid on foreign wheat has
already had the effect of stimulating the sale
of French ( lours In Ilrltlsh markets.
The wheat crop In Uoumanln la the small
est for five years , the rye crop kills below-
thai ot last year , nnd tlio yield of barley
and oats per aero Is the lowest for five
years. There was about half of n crop of
corn.
In Germany wheat shows n falling oft In
quantity nnd quality from last year and the
potato crop Is very disappointing. The
Austrian wheat crop Is expected to mcasuro
50,000,000 bushels. Barley and oats have an
average yield , but corn does not promise as
well. Italian grain Is reported excellent In
quality. The corn crop , damaged by drouth ,
Is looked on as lost In many districts.
Belgian wheat , harvested under very un
favorable conditions , Is Injured In quality.
Hungary's wheat fields yielded 107,000000
bushels ; rye , 61,000,009. and corn , 62,000,000.
There Is an average rye crop In Austria , ex
cept In quality , which Is deemed poor. In
Hussla the approaching completion of the
Siberian railroad Is expected to open up to
commerce n new field , and "a new nnd
vigorous competitor. " says the statistician ,
"will before long be found In the markets of
Europe , " as an enormous quantity ot fertile
land -will be brought under cultivation by the
railroad.

Deals Principally with the Action of Troops
During the Urcnt Strike.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 18. The annual re
port of Brigadier General Thomas H. Iluger ,
commanding the Department of California ,
made public today. Is devoted largely to a rectal -
ctal ( of the stirring events of the great
strike. Of this subject the report treats as
follows :
"Tlie service of most Importance performed
during the year by troops serving In the de
partment was that recently rendered under
orders received requiring the prevention of
destruction to the United States malls , in
terferences with Interstate commerce and
the enforcement of the mandates and war
rants of the United States courts. "
After describing the condition , of affairs
at Loa Angeles and the dispatch ot Colonel
Shatter's troops to that place , the report
goes on as follows : "The result of the pres
ence of the > troops was that the mall train
service was soon resumed on all main lines ,
first to the east and later on to San Fran
cisco. The trains were guarded by detach
ments of troops from the 7lh until the
'
15th of July , when they 'were discontinued.
With th& exception of the overturning by
strikers on July 10 of some cars on a rail
road crossing to Interrupt the running of
trains , no overt act was committed during
this time , but there Is sufficient evidence for
bellet that the strikers would have resorted ,
In the absence of military force , to any de
gree of violence thought necessary to prevent
the operation of the railroads entering at
this point except upon terms dictated by
themselves. "
General Ruger next tells ot the reception
of the president's order of July 7 to re-
moro obstructions to malls nnd Inttrstnte
commerce , and ot the conditions prevailing
whereho decided to begin work , because
tlio ntrlkcrs. wereIn greatest force and wcr
belligerent. He says thcro wcro 2,500 man
In th9 rnllro.id shops there , ana of thcs 2,100
joined the strike cither willingly or Under
Intimidation. These were Jolntd liy at least
COO strikers from other points , making about
3,000 men , the Greater part of whom were
nnnod , nt leant ; oo of them with rifles and
guns.
General Iliicer touchei lightly upon the
conduct ot the mllltla In thepo wordi : "On
July 4 n , detachment ot the stale troops.
composed of two regiments end part ot an
other , nere assembled nt Sacramento upon
request made for nsslitnnce by the Vnltat
States niarsli.il , under the provisions ot a
sttUnto ot the state for the purpose of afford
ing such assistance ns might be necessary
to rrsumo prompt operation of tm ! railroad
for the carriage ot the malls and for Ilia
purposes of Interstate commerce. For re -
sona and onltiK to f.icts wlilcli It Is not
within the purpose ot this report to ataU ,
the object was not accomplished ,
Regarding the wrecking of the train bear
ing soldiers from Sacramento to San Krau-
clsco on July 11 , and the killing ol four sol
diers , the report says : "There li no Ooulit
the murdsr ot the four soldiers nnd the engi
neer vt\t the act of the strikers who lett
Sacramento before- the train wns started , and
also little- doubt Hint It was known before
hand to a considerable number of other
strikers that the track had been tampered
with for the purpose of derailing the train.
Th a place selected lor this work was n trcstlo
crossing water anil approached by a narrow
causeway. That , loss of life would occur
In cnso thc'traln wns thrown from the trade V ,
uas almost Inevitable. Proceedings arc In
progress in the- civil courts against scver.il
men charged with murder In causing
death by the wrccklnft of the train. "
General Htiger pays a high compliment to
the naval forces landed at Oakland , saying
they wore of pstfctitl.il assistance , and espe
cially In permitting action with more con
fidence , ns to ( avertible results than would
otherwise have been the cose.
Great pralie la also accorded lo Colonel
Shafton and his command , nnd to Colonel
Graham and the troops nt Sacramento. Gen
eral Hugcr says : "At Sacramento the pha&o
ot the trouble upon the arrival ot the. troops
had far surpassed tlio limit ! ) of the word
'strike. * The method ot procedure nnd In
tent , as evidenced by the acts of those en-
Bated , were distinctly Insurrectionary. Ex
cept for the action ot the troops the disorder
would have been prolonged and In all proba
bility would not have ended without serious
bloodshed and after the destruction of much ,
property. "
Attached to the report ot General Ruger
arc reports from Colonels Shatter and
Graham nnd Commander Reed , depicting-
great detail the most Interesting phases of
the great struggle between law nnd order and
anarchy.
