NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Yesterday's Interesting Program at the Chautanqua Grounds, HON, ). H. WALKER ON FREE COINAGE Tis Reply to General Weaver's Address in Favor of the White Metal—The Con- vinelng Arguments of the Mas- sachusetts Statesm! The Chautauqua bell yesterday had a little less silvery ring in it than on the day before. Congressman Joseph H. Waiker of Massa chusetts was the golden tongued orator to roply to General Weaver's nppeal for free silver. He was closely logicil aud spent little time or talent in striving to merely ex tertaln his hearers, He said he subposed that a Chautaugua audience wanted facts to think about instead of things to laugh about. Although bis main effort was evidently to convinee rather than convulse, some of tho points were 8o sharply made, and some of hi Wlustrations so striking, aud some of his opponent’s fallacies put 1 such a_ridiculous lignt, that the audience expressed its en- thusiasw in loud applanse. Mr, Walker said: Wuat product one mau_shail accept from another in exchauge for a product_owned by him 18 wholly for him to decide, Thousands of attempts have been made 1o comyel men to take one coin rather than unother, for tueir labor or goods, and by everv govern- ment, ervilized and barbarous, that has ever existed, but never once in the whole history of the world has 1t been suceessful, Tho question of the advantage of the froo and uniimited comage of silver is not to bo decided by froth and sentiment. Itis one of fact. \Whethier any ills bave resulied from the demonetization of sitver is one of fact, and to be proved, not seantiment. Its solu- ton 18 in knowing, first, the uses and relations of any coth what- ever to trade nud pmmerce, nnd, sccondly, o kuow the present commer- cinl relation, or ratio, of gold to silver, as compured with the past, ana why. We make 10 progress in the solution of prosent aificulties by simply nscertaining the condi- tious of 100 years aro, or of sixty vears ugo, or even of thirty years ago. For differences in social and_ecoiomic corditions then aud now are wll important. he mweans of trans- vorting aud exelanging products, the means of dividing and subdividiog produets iuto their smallest quantity aud, still more, the means of transferring the titles to tho same from one man to unother—these things, which men wever seew to consiaer, have mude more progress and been move changed 10 the last thirty yeurs than in the previous 100 years, This simply evidences the pro. gross maae in Curistian civilization. Against the forms of this progress, men of good inten- tion and bud ure alike alv unconsciously fighting. The progress made in_monetary methods swee the close of the Napoleonic wars of 1812 and 1315—in cighty years—as in all departments of civilization™ i3 greater than in the 500 years preceding, that period and in the last thirty vears many times more than in the previous fitty years. Iach of the latter periods shows a wonderful increaso and development in teade per cavita. 1 have uever scen an_estunute of trade per capita for the periods nwmed, but I have no doubt but that, taking Europe and the United States, the annual trado in the first half of the nineteeuth coentury was 100 fold more per capita than during the seventeenth and elghteenth ceuturies, and the exchange of products per capita in the present half of the nineteeuth century is 100 fold more than in the first half of this century. is Essentially Barter, Again, it is cquully certain that the pro- portion of actual “barter trade”—giving one product directly for another product in band “during tue seventecnth and eighteenth centuries was a hundred fold more than in the first half of the nincteenth century, and it1s certain that today nearly all trade is es- sentially barter, or 1o a hundred fold greater extent, to the whole velume of trade, than it was fifty ars ago. Up to the Napol- conic wars coii was scarcely in common use anywhere. It was the universal custom to hoard it. Al wealth was only in lands used exclusively by their owners, slothing equi- page and in coin. After Napolesn, coin was far more froely used as monev up to the time greater honesty admitted of the eommon use of paper orders for product or for coin, called currency mouey, [ mean toinclude in the term paper money, bank notes, chec drafts, bills of exchange, etc. Ev cof papor used for money is eutially. Coin is the only actual "It is now conceded that all trade is, and must finally e, the “exchange of pro- duct for product.”’ No oie wants coiu as such. Trore is no use for it, excepting to exchango 1t for another product. Paper money is more convenient, therefore all men are now more willing to take any product they desire than to take coin, if the product desired is at hand, or if not, to take paper orders for It, colled money, o get the product when necded. The tuking of uctual money (coin) for a product is LOW, known. The taking of paper monc product is the taking by the seller of an order for anotter product on auother seller. The paper monoy sumply expresses the coin valuo of the thing sold mad enables the salier to delay getting the procuct he de sires of anothor seller to a future time, at which time he delivers the paper to'the other seller, aud he in turn to another, and 50 on. Gold 1s the Nerve of Tra As Christian civilization has advanced, the giving of actual moucy (coin) for a pro: duct bas practically disappeared. The practical use of coib 15 now ulmost wholly to Smeacuro value,” and it is fast takiog the position of a *‘measure of value” only, and that, by means of being used for the “cur- rout redemption” of puper money in bauk. Modera trade would ot be possiblo were this not the fact. Neither would it be possi- ble, hiad not honesty taken the place of dis- honesty and contidence of suspicion, faith of doubt.” Coin never could have increased as fast as trade has developed. Gold is now the nerve of trade and paper woney its eirculat- g life-blood. Again, we cannot understand the present monetary condition without giving our atten- tion somewhat tothe social, political end transportation conditions of 'tho past and present, Sixty years ago the sailing vessel, loading ‘at Boston for Liverpool, hud a man avoard called “supercarso,” whose duty it was to sell 1ts cargo und by a return cargo. Sailing to Canton with its cargo, it took £1,000 to #20,000 or more, iv coin, if its pro- posed return 0 was move valuable than its outgoing cargo. The round trip being six months, it took that time to return this coin to the chanuels of trade, Allow- six it ing six bours to a business day, and monthis for the vovage of the ship, comes out as follows: It now takes five winutes to transfer a coin credit from a bank in Boston 1o a bank 10 Canton. Tuere- 1010 each £,0)0 in coin today in the China trade has 14,000 times the commercial power it hud sixty years ago. Thatis to say, any civen $L000 can now be effectively used 13,000 times, where it could then be used only ouee sixty years ago. It is thereforo the equivalent,“in the world's commerco, of adding §13,000,000 o the coinage of the world for every $1,0.0 of coin in existence, wore we inthe same condition of sixty yeurs aeo, SIXLy veRrs ago thirly duys wis the shortest time coin or u letter could go to and from St Louis. It now takes one minute to transfer a coin crodit from Boston to St Louis, Lherefore cach 1,000 in coin today, in that trade, is 10,000 ties as effective s it was SIXLY Yours ago. Auy given $1,00 can be used 10,000 times, where it could be used QLY 0BCO SIXLY YeArs Bgo. Commercinl Effcctivencss of Coy Taking all trade the world over, near or the present effectiveness of coin 1 werce wust be many thousana times s cffective by tho use of the steamship, the ruilroad, tho telegraph, the tolephone and by modern commercinl devices as it wus sixty yeurs ugo. The commercial effectiveness of any given amount of coin has increased thousand fold faster than trade bns ineroased is why silver bas depreciated. Gold is pre- ferred, it having u more concrete valie. ‘Tuis country now bas in coined woney abou, $1,200,000,000, while for the reason given of lessened demind for coin our daily commercial use of coin is only 8,000,000, or 11§ per cent on our daily trade of #40,000,000," Wo now bave 200 tiies as much coin as is daily used were only paper mouoy used by the people for pocket money., We actvally bave about $100,000,000 of “visible coin’’ whoily de- voled tu commercial purposes, or more thun 100 times @s wuch as is daily used.

Coin has the beneficent qualities of neither productive uor con- sumablo weaith, it boiug ouly a ‘“moas ure of valuo*' Having no other useful quality, keoping more than a suliiciency of it is utter wasto of capital. There is in tho Indebtedness, that amouut is roachad, . ‘ Prod 1 Consumable Wealth, As I have before said, all trade is the ex- change of product for product, mostly with money. Seco.d, all so-called paper money, checks, drafts, bills of exchange, notes, or bank accounts that any one holds are purely and only titles to, or orders on, the property a given amount of proverty or wealth in the country, and it 1s impossible to ncrease it cxcepting 1n two ways, first, by the industry and frugality of our own people, or by more abroad. The first method means advancing inoustrial condition and civilization, the sec- ond 13 changing the location of wealth country. as shown by tho last census, pro- £25,000,000,000, and of coin, whicn is neither productive nor consumable, $1,200,000,000, a total of £26,200,000,000, It is said the actual valuo of all real and versonal property is discussion we will consider only its assessea valuation. Now every dollar of this wealth is owned by somebody, and tho logal pre} honestiy by his property. sons own the same wealth, those persons have not yet insisted on the division between them of any given property set to them jointi Individual and corporate, to cach other, public and_pri- more than its total assessed valua- ply means that property is loaned from property, reloaned again and ugain, as wo know it is, in fuct, und cxperience, Every man can get to uso he has suflicient skill, industry and integrity ably certain that ho will return it again, dence of a faith in the average intogrity and benevolence, in tho country, comprehension, It is inipossibie to 1ncrease curities, or by issuing paper money, or by can be dispensed with, All wean robbery or waste, It is also impossible to justly effect the awstribution of wealth by the issuing to any person or by the govern- vertible on demand. It is only possible to safely use & given amount of paper money, how much can oniy be known by experiment. Itis also impossibie to profitably use moro much coin money can be safely and profitably used, can only be known by oxperiment. A sufticiency is enough, as to both paper und coin money, as_in every other known thing solutely waste, and a8 much so in coin as in any known thing, Furthermore, the volume needed and used 1n one country is no indication even of the other country. Of the millions coined 1n Mexico, ouly § per capita can be kept in Mexico. The balance_goes out of the coun- try immediately. In E'rance, the cruel wars, forms of government, has ingrained in the I'rench mind such a ‘want of confidence in the institutions of the country, excenting the financial promises of the government, any other highly civilized country. Local banks are not known in France as we know and use them. What few bank loans are made in France center in the Bank of ings, or pots buried in the ground. E nic Changes, Wonderful has been the economic changes of the last few years, aud all in the interest economic measure, expressed in wages, for an average day's work. He is the primary measure of gold ana silver by his own economic worth, expressed in wages. In all have been the measure of value, irrespective of coinage laws, for three quarters of a cen- tury. Whether old has or has not changed in value in thirty years can only bo known worker receives more or iess weight of gold, for un average day’s work today than he did thirty yeurs ago; ana isecond, what volume products the wage worker can buy with compared with thirty years ago. Let me say here that what is ‘said of 1860 as cow- pared with 1502 applies with greater force to 1873 as compared with 18¢ out the intervention of any kind of é¥rrency in the hands of others. Third, there 1s only wealth being bronght into the country from ductive and consumable wealth amounting to £62,000,000,000, but for the purposes of this sutiption at least is that each owner camé It is not conceivable that any two per- 4.

There banks are old stock- of the plain common people. Mun is tno true England and America, gold is conceded to by first knowing whether the average wage # he gold he receives for his day's work, as Iuis certainly known, by investigations of the most reliable economists, that the weight of gold actually paid, or its equivalent, to wage workers today, is from 331, per cent to per cont greater than in 1860 or 1573, This Ccouclusively shows that, as measured by tho efforts of an average man, gold has fallen 1n its price from 33l per cent to 30 per cent. It is also known that, takiug the whole range of products consumed by smail farmers and waie workers, the average fall in prico has been from 2 per cent to 33} per cent since 1873, An averago day’s work ought, there- fore, now to buy about double of produets it boughtn 1578, By compariag price currents and wage lists of 1860 and 1873 with those of 1892 we know it will now buy that much moro, It is as certain s anything can be that pro- dacts would nave advanced in price one- third bad labor advanced one-third, had not inventions in machinery agd improved methods reduced the time consumed by the wage worker inproduciag o unit of product avout ouc-half. It is economically 1mpossi- ble for products to be lessened since 1873 to their prosent price, while wages per hour huve increased in price, excepting by im- proving the machinery and methods of pro- duetion to the equivalent of the increased cost per hour of labor, plus tho sum of the reauction in price velow the former price of 1873, Mislending Assertions. Mush hes beon said of prices of nagricul- wral products measured in silver. This is very misleading; first, becauso tho average rediction in labor cost in days’ work, of a ricultural products, tuken aitogether, with the horse mower, reaper, tedder, rake, hoe, potato digger und improvement in_ ull’ other implements, is fully one half. Allowing 10 per cent for wear and tear on tools, added Lo he 50 per cent of cost, makes the cost 55 por cont of that of 156). ‘I'here has been no live years period since 1860 that prices of agri- cultural products have been 45 per ceut lower that in any five preceding years that were ot years of thy iuflation of the cur- rency, while the cost of production has been 45 per cent less, and what the farmer buys, mackinery, supplies, ete., has decreasad in price from 25 per cent to b0 per cent since s he free coinage of silver, then, means and can mean nothing else thau o change of our “weusure of valus” from the measure of vilue common to all highly civilized natious, to Buropean nations and the United States and Canada for moro than half a century, und under which every existing doebt was contracted, to that of Mexico, India sud Chiny, ete, hool Exhibit, The schools bave prepared an exhibit whaieh wili ve laid before the public in the ampbitheater toduy. ‘Tho subjects are Latin, German, physics, chemistry,” z00log: goomeLry, geology, ASLIONGIY, Stenograph tynewriting, spelling, penmauship, drawing, nunier and’ general information.

The Las Vegas Stock Grower comments upon the matter av length and amorg other things savs: “Tho reduction will probably result in a lowering of rates all along the line, and allow southwestern cattle to be run to South Omaha. Such a reduction would bo decidedly agreeable to stock owners of this section, as the prospects of an unusually good corn crop in Nobraska this year will as- sure a strong demand for feeders, and the recent enlargement of the packing plants wili result in an_increased demand for all grades of cattlo,)® - What the New 'Mexico journal savs but voices the sentiments of the cattlemen of tho southwest.

Almost Entively St, Johns, N, F, bestroyed —~tlow the Flames O inated, St Jonys, N K, July S.—[Speenal Tele- gram to Tue Bee|—Tms city is bewg practically wiped off the facoof the eartn by an extonsive fire which is now raging. A high wind is blowing and sweeping the flames with a force and rapidity which canmot bo checked by uny power within the city and it is impossiblo to obtain aid of uny other place. It is almost cortain that long before daylight thero will be nothing left of the city, as tho wind 18 grad- ually shifting und will surely sead the firo in another desolating path across a portion of tho city not yet touched. The Mothodist college, Masonic hall and Orange ball were smong the first to bo burned, and the government buildings. con- taming the public records and the archives of Parlinment, are hourly threatoned. One hundrea and fifty houses are already destroyed and from fifty to 100 others are on fire 1n various parts of the city with chances strongly against any of them being saved. Thocity has one of the most excellent water systems on the faco of tho earth, but it has proven powerless to stem the awful march of the firo fiend. Firemen havo fallen exhausted; citizens who volunteered have been taken away fainting to keep from being crushed to death by falling buildings, while others are powerless to save even the contents of their own homes. Hundreds of women and children have fled to the hills in terror and they presont a wonderful sight, brilliantly illuminated by the rolling flames from the streots below. At last the most destructive foature of tho firc has shown up. The flames have reached the wharves and the shipping has veen hauled out into the bay to be be- yond the reach of the consuming clemont. 1t is here that the greutest loss will oceur, as the shipping interests of St Johns are on a most oxtensive scalo and the loss to thir, part of the city alone will reach into the millicns, At 1 o'clock 400 houses have been de- stroyed. — - TROUBLE OF AN 10WA STOCKM.AN. His Cattle Were Sold But the Purchasing Firm Suddenly Dissolved. Cnicaco, Tll, July S.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.|—A case of more than usual in- terest wus on hearing in Justico Rananll H. White's court yesterday afternoon. Juno 30 Last D, P. Wilson, a stock raiser at Farragut, Ia., shipped five loads of cattic to the Chi- cago market. Tho stock was assigned to S, P. Cady & Co., commission merchants at the stock yards, aud sold by them, Mr. Wilson was given i draft tor §,200. The bilauce, $3,143.05, Mr. Wilson instructed Cady & Co. to devosit in the Merchants National bank in this city, to the credit of his home bank. The firm of Cady & Co. is composed of S, P. Cady, his son, C. B, Cady, and Georg W. Humphrey. Whon the elder ( reached his oftico the recei requesting him to call. He did so and was informed that therc was not morey enough to tao crodit of s firi to pay the check of £,143.65 due Mr. Wilson. The ufternoon provious Humphrey had drawn a check for $2,750, payable to himself, and got the money. Ouly a little over §00 remained in the bank, and this Mr. Cady drew out and paid to Mr, Wilson. rin the day Mr, Cady received o letter from Humphrey, in which he said he had concluded to withdraw from the firm and had drawn what money he thought belonged to him from the ©pank and bad left the city. Wilson swore out warrants for Cady, his son, and Hmuphrey, charging them aay following morning hie od a noto from the cashier of the bank with ' larceny as bailee. When the cases came up for hearing this afternoon Humph roy through his attorney askea for a con- tinuance, which was rofused. So was a change of venue, and on the advice of his counsel he jumped up and ran out of the court room. He went to Mr. Chancellor's oftize, rcem 60, Major block, and locked him- self in. Constable Costello tried to dislodge him, but was unsuccessful. Cady and his son wero held to the criminal court in bonds of $1,000. Humphrey later waived examin- ation and his bond was fixed at §2,000, - Colunibus, iblbee Tiv atens o inu Advices from effect that the To heavy rains, thr rounding country. liss., aroto the r. swollen by te the sur- IN BE UTY, TON ugh all the DURABILITY THEY NO EQUAL MUELLER PIANO AND ORCAN CO., 103 Main St., Council Bluffs, lowa. broad through the wide we anos, The JARDMA PIANOS approach nearest the UMA VOICE.
