WRONG REGARDING THE RATIO Mr. Rosewater Shows Why Free Silver Democraw and Populists Are in Error. THEORY OF 16 TO 1 NOT PRACTICABLE Real Ralative Value Must Be Considered in Order to Maintain Parity Between the Two Dollars—International Agree= ment Also Necessary. Mr. Edward Rosewater addressed the members of the Hamilton club in the Pat- terson block last evening upon the subje “16 to 1,” his address covering the silver question, with especial reference to its bear- ing upon the interests of the nation. He evident gatls faction of that many of the theories advanaed by the free silver democrats who recently visited Omaha are mere fallacies when subjected to analysis. He proved that the populist Idea that prices advanced with the increase in the volume of currency was a mistaken idea. Not only that, but he proved by official figures that the oft repeated assertion that the prices of farm products depsnded upon the prices of silver in the markets of the world was false. The figures he quoted showed that when the price of silver went up the price of pork and corn went down, and that during the past year and at the present time, with silver at the lowest price in its history as a money metal, the price of corn, which, according to the populist tleory, #hould be less than 10 cents per bushel, ob- stinately refuses to be governed by the free silver schedule and Is mounting up to 40 and 45 cents per bushel. In discussing the silver question, Mr. Rosewater said: It 18 eminently proper that a club founded by republicans and named after Alexander Hamilton, the first secretary of the treas. and the originator of our financial syste should, If possible, endeavor to enlighten itself with regard to one of the great fssues of the present campaign, Our friends, the enemy, the populists and a great body of the democrats, are about: to perpetuate & fusion on the one single Issue that con- gross shall enact a law providing for the free and unrestricted coinage of all silver brought to the United States mints at a ratlo of 16 to 1. Before I attempt to discuss this fssue I want to call your attention to the declaration of the republican party in its platform adopted at Minnepolis in June, 1892, That declaration was as follows: “The American people from tradition and Interest favor bimetallism, and the republican party demands the use of both gold and silver w8 standard money with such restrictions and under such provisions, to be deter- mined by legislation, as will secure the maintenance of the parity of values of the two metals so that the purchasing and debt paylng power of the dollar, whether of sil- ver, gold or paper, shall be at all times equal. The interests of the producers of the country, its farmers and its workingmen, demand that every dollar, paper or coin, issued by the government, shall be as good as any other. We commend the wise and patriotic steps already taken by our govern- ment to gecure an international conference to adopt such measures as will insure a parity of value between gold and silver for use as money throughout the world.” HARRISON'S INTERPRETATION. In interpreting the platform adopted at Minneapolis, Prosident Harrizon gave a fur- ther expression of his views in the following language: “I am thoroughly convinced that the free colnage of silver at such a ratio to gold as will maintain their equality in the commer- clal uses of the two coined dollars would conduce to the prosperity of all the great producing and commercial nations of the world. The one essential condition is that these dollars shall have and retain an equal mcceptability and value in all commercial transactions. They are not only a medium of exchange, but a measure of values, and when unequal moasures are called in law by the same name, commerce is unsettled end confused and the unwary and the ig- norant are cheated. Dollars of unequal com- mercial value will not circulate together. The better dollars are withdrawn and be- come merchandise. The true interests of our people, and especially of the farmers und the working people, who cannot closely observe the money market, Is that every dollar, paper or coin, issued or authorized by the government, shall at all times and in all its uses be the equivalent, not only in debt paying, but in purchasing power, of any other dollar. The republican candidate for vice presi- dent, Mr. Whitelaw Reid, stated the ques- tion even more clearly and more concisely when he sald: “We demand that every dollar, paper, sil- yer or gold, shall be made and kept as good s any other dollar.” Now, those who have given the subject close attention and are familiar with the history of the financial affairs of our na- tlon will be compelled to agree with me that any attempt to couple together gold and silver at a ratio that does not represent their true value will be a failure, and will have the effect of driving out the better dollar and of making the cheaper dollar the money of the people. Value is that quality of money or thing that will induce & person to give for it in exchange any fele or commodity or labor. When two Icles or_commodities require a different amount of labor in their production it natur- ally follows that they cannot and will not be freely exchanged upon an equal basls. Golng back to the old days when commerce consisted only of barter and exchange, there might have been a time when a keg of nails was equal In value to a sack of flour. But an Inventive age has reduced the cost of labor In the manufacture of nalls. The time came when the same labor that produced a keg of nails In six days produced the same keg In‘three days, so that two kegs could be made in the same length of time by the same Iabor that formerly produced but one keg. When that time came the parity of the nails and flour ceased. The man who produced the sack of flour would not exchange it for one keg of nalls, He demanded two kegs of nalls, because his sack of flour repre- sented six days of labor, while the one keg of nails represented but three days of labor. The illustration is a simple and homely one, but it proves Indisputably that law cannot maintain the parity of two articles of un- equal value. It also proves that although the owner of the sack of flour might stamp it 100 pounds,” and put but elghty pounds of flour on the inside, he could still sell it for eighty pounds and no more. His elghty-pound sack would not pass current for 100 pounds of flour, for the value Is not there. So it is with gold and silver. It fs true that for elghty odd years In the history of this gov- ernment a silver dollar of 412 grains could be exchanged for a gold dollar in the great commercial marts of the world. But the time came when a change in the relative value of the two metals took place. As the production of silver increased the cost of the production decreased. In due course of time, according to the well recognized laws of commerce, gold brought more on_ the mar- kets of the world than sllver. But so long a8 the government or the people were will- ing to barter gold for siiver on an equal basis a silyer dollar was worth as much as a gold dollar. It s 50 today. Our sil- ver dollar Is as good as a gold dollar, but only because the government has said’ that ft will exchange a gold dollar for a silver dollar at the pleasure of the man who holds the silver dollar and because the people still have confidence in the abllity of the government to so redeem its silver dollars. ERROR OF THE POPULISTS. Qur populist friends insist that this state things shall continue forever. They say “Phis law is like the law of the Medes and the Persians. We demand that the govern- ment shall continue to exchange one ounce of gold for sixteen ounces of silver, regar: lesy of the value of the silver in the great markets of the world.” Now, the demands of the populists and the democrats of the Bryan school depend entirely upon the abiilty of the government to maintain this artificlal parity of the two metals. The government's ability to do this will depend entirely upon the amount of gold it can keep on ‘hand Let us look backward a little into the @nanclal history of this government. The tlemen who recently visited Omaha for e Purpose of holding a “free silver cou m" were Yoluble In thelr talk about commercial proved to the his hearers | | 1894. the unfriendliness of the government to sil- vor. They talked a great deal about the great “crime” of 1873, when the silver dol- Jar was stricken from our list of coins. These men insist that by reason of that one single act all the calamities which have beset the country are to be accounted for. They assert that the silver Industry has been ruined, the debtor class increased, the manufacturer and the farmor crushed. What basis have these men for such declarations? Is it true that the government has been “unfriendly” to silver? Let us see. In the first sixty-five years in the history of our government our silver mines produced about $1,000,000 worth of silver. From 17 until 1873 the entire coinage of silver dol- lars by the government amounted to only $8,260,000. Those of us who remember the times prior to the war know that in those days we had no silver dollars In eirculation They existed merely as curiosities, All our silver coin consisted of Mexican quarters and halves, and, very rarely, of Mexican dol- lars. w, what happened when silver was “struck down?’ Prlor to 1§ silver was a searce commodity. It sold at a premium of 4 per cent. Nobody was foolish enough to take silver to the mints, where he could get but 96 cents for a dollar's worth. In 1878 the Bland act was passed, and on March 1, 1 las: than elghteen months after the passage of that act, the govern- ment had colned 36,000,000 silver dollars This coinage was continued until 1801, at which time the government had coined about $460,000,000 in silver dollars and subsidiary coln. This certainly does not look as if the government of the United States had been unfriendly to sflver. And yet, of this immease smount of silver colned, only about $60,000,000 has been thrown into clirculation. The secretaries of the treasury have used every effort to get this money out aniong the people. They have offered to pay the cost of transporting it to the large manufactories of the country if the manufacturers would take it and pay it out to their working men In some instances this was actually done and the silver dollars found their way b to the United States treasury In a week after they had been paid out Then, here is onother point which possibly Mr. Bryan has never thought of. The director of the mint has computed that the cost of minting a coin of any value, whether it be $1 or a §20 piece, is 2 certs. On that basly it cots the government $1,000 to coin ,000 $20 gold pieces with a total value value of $1,000,000, while it costs $20,000 to coln 1,000,000 silver dollars. It cost the government $410,000 to coin the $110,000,000 in double eagles turned out since 1873. The cost of the same amount of money coined in silver would have been $8,200,000, leaving the exce:s of the cost of coining the silver remaining at $7,800,000. And vet the populists, with Mr. Bryan, want the govern- ment to contipue this enormous and use- less expense. It would be far better to pile silver in the treasury vaults in the shape of silver brick VOLUME OF CURRENCY. Again, the populists tell us that the peo- ple have not enough money. They say the volume of currency is not large enough to enable the people of this country to trans- act busines It occurs to me that the country has been transacting business for the past twenty-five or thirty years. We must have had the volume of currency nec- essary to transact this business, It must be remembered that 95 per cent of the busi- ness of the country is transacted with checks and drafts. So in addition to the §23 per capita of actual money in circulation this country has had the benefit of billions and billions of dollars’ worth of credit checks, just as good for the purposes of commerce as If stamped by Uncle Sam, for after all paper money is simply 1 O Us—evidences of debt. But a silver dollar is not an I O U. It is money, and it circulates only be- cause the government stands ready to ex- change a gold dollar for it. The moment that the government is unable to pay gold for silver just that moment will silver re- turn to Its place as a metal and a com- modity. The stamp of the government cuts no figure. Gold passes In the great mone- tary centers of the world by weight. When we export gold we rarely export gold coin. Exporters prefer gold bars, and for their purpose they are willing to pay a slight premium over coin. Replying to a question. from the audi- ence, Mr. Rosewater stated that the republi- can party was for honest money. It was in favor of a financial policy by which every laboring man would get his money in cur- rency that would not shrink In value in a night, that would be just as good in Florida as in New York, and in Oregon as in Ne- braska, that could be placed in a bank ard kept there a day, a week or a year, and still retain its full value. “Suppose,” said he, “the government would follaw the advice of Bryan and, his followers and open the gates and permit all the silver of the world to be dumped here and coined at a ratio of 16 to 1. The gold would be drained out of the treasury in forty-elght hours and the country be reduced to a silver basis. What would follow? The laboring man who had a small deposit in the bank would be paid in silver and be robbed of 30 cents on the dollar by the banker, who would buy silver with gold. The price of labor would be the first to go down and the last to come up. Creditors would call in loans and increase the rate of interest. The country would be reduced to the condition of silver nations like China, where labor commands the smallest price in the world. “The populists point to France as the country where the blessing of prosperity is enjoyed to a greater degree than in any country on the globe. And yet you will find that France is the greatest debtor na- tion in the world, and her people the heaviest taxed. Her wages are lower than in England, in spite of the fact that she has a per capita circulation of $44, while in England the per capita circulation is but $22. In addition to this fact, it can be proved that the United States has taken fewer precautions in the way of protecting her currency issues by a gold coinage than the three great commercial nations of Europe combined. France circulates $21 per capita in paper and silver covered by $23.60 in gold per capita. England circu- lates $4.25 per capita in silver and paper covered by §14.40 in gold. In Germany the proportion of silver and paper to gold is $7.40 to $10.12 per capita, while the United States protects its silver and paper issues of $14 per capita by $11 in gold per capita. The United States circulates $432,700,000 in paper uncovered by gold, while Irance, England and Germany combined circulate but $314,000,000. France, with all of her alleged prosperity, according to the theorles of our populist friends, still remains the leading gold country of the globe. She circulates $900,000,000 In gold, England $650,000,000, Germany $500,000,000 and the United ‘States $089,000,000. CANNOT DO IT ALONE. “It has been claimed by the gentlemen who met in Omaha the other day that the United \States could alone maintain the parity of gold and silver by legislation which would exclude foreign silver, thus enhancing the value of our own. This, in my judge- ment, would be Inpracticable. ~ In the last three years, according to the official 5 this country imported from 000,000 ~ to $35,- 000,000 in silver. " It would be almost impossible to exclude foreign coin sent here in payment of debts. It would be mixed with American silver and deposited with the mint by American silver producers in spite of any precaution that might be taken. Director Leach has stated that during the past few years so much foreign silver has been mixed with American silver that it has ben extremely difficult to arrive at the true figures covering the production of American mines, “Notwithstanding all that has been sald about the great crime of 1873, the pro- duction of silver has made enormous In- creases. In 1870 the production amounted to $16,000,000. In 1893 1t had Increased to $85,000,000. The position of the populists in claiming that the prices of commodities depend largely upon the price of silver is equally fallacious. Figures covering a great many years reveal the fact that in 18 one year before the infamous conspiracy so frequently alluded to, the price of mess pork ranged from $11 to $16 per barrel. In 1§79, after the Bland act had so greatly stimulated the price of silver, mess pork went down to from $7.70 to $13.75 per barrel. In 1852 the prices soared up to from $16 to $24, without any appreclable Increase In the price of silver, while in 1891, when silver brought the high price of $1.21 per ounce, the foollsh farmers of this coun- try were selling mess pork for as low as $7.45 per barrel. In 1803, after congress had re- pealed the sliver purchasing act and the price of silver went to the lowest point in its history, pork sailed up to from $§10.28 to $21.80 per barrel.”" The speaker was at & loss to understand these figures when applied to the populist theory. He could only explain them by the application of the law of supjly and demand, which regulates prices all over the world. Tt was the same way with lard and It is the same with corn. In the days when silver was bringing fancy prices farm- ers were burning their corn because it was worth so little. And at the present time, with sllver almost worthless as & com- modity, corn was mean and obstinate enough to ask 40 and 45 cents a bushel for itself. In_ conclusion Mr. Rosewater alluded to the labor disturbances of the past year, and showed that they were in mo wise connected with the price of silver. The legislation of last year had not even affected the silver in- dustry except in the cases of a few low grade mines in the west. The labor troubles, having no relation to silver, would adjust themselves in time. England, Germany and Russia had experienced serious trouble in labor circles and yet they had no silver mines. It must be remembered that all of the gold and silver mines In the United States did not employ as many men as were rgaged in farming In the state of Nebraska. The production of silver was insignificant when compared with the productions of many of the great states of the union. Penn- sylvania alone produced $150,000,000 worth of fron products, including coal. The finjection of $70,000,000 or $80,000,000 of silver into the circulating medium annu- ally would not and could not benefit the workingman. Until the laboring man could get his wages raised to the new basis he would be the loser in every way. After his wages had been increased to the new stand- ard he would be no better off than he is today. The true policy and the only safe policy for the United States was to continue the efforts of the past to secure through co- operation with all the great commercial na- tions of the world a standard by which gold and silver might be maintained upon a parity acceptable to all alik 1t Appenrs that Some of Our Competitors Don't Like U Tho following circular was sent out by some one who is intere:ted in somebody else's welfare: handle penitentiary made unfair and scab is “Hayden Bros. goods, nothing made goods.

The report of the canvassers who have been engaged In taking the school census for several weeks past has been revised by the committee on boundaries of the Board of Education, and s now supposed to be as nearly correct as possible. The totals show a slight increase in the number of children of school age since last year, but this is not in proportion to the increased number of pupils who have registered as puplls at the various schools. The conclusion is that dur- ing the year a greater number of children have been attending school than usual on account of the hard times. Many boys and girls who have usually been at work have been thrown out of employment, and have consequently put in their time at school. The distribution of pupils among the wards is considerably changed from a year ago. The change in the ward boundaries last spring is largely responsible for this, as some of the territory that belonged in one ward when the last census was taken has now been transferred to another. The en- tire cost of taking the 1894 census at the usual price of 3 cents a name s $899.22. The following table shows the school popu- lation of the various wards as compared with a year ago: 1893, 8,452 1894, First Seoond Wi Third ward.. Fourth ward.. Fifth ward Sixth ward... Seventh ward..... Eighth ward Ninth ward. Totals. . JOINED HIS SON IN JAIL. Major Wilcox Fined for Refusing to Answer Questions in Court. Major Jeremiah C. Wilcox was compelled to join his son, Sherman G. Wilcox, in the county jail yesterday on a charge of con- tempt similar to that on which the son was jafled by Judge Blair Tuesday afternoon. The contempt grew out of an old suit agalnst the major on account of a promis- sory note given by him nearly two years ago. The note was never satisfied, and the holder, Harry Cartan, secured a judg- ment In Judge Scott’s court for the amount, An execution was issued to satisty the judg- ment, but the officer found it difficult to ascertain just what property was owned by the father and which had been trans- terred by the son. Sherman was brought into court on a caplas, but refused to answer any interrogations of the judge in regard to the status of the property on which he was committed until he should be more tractable. Yesterday Judge Blalr attempted to obtaln the same information from Major Wilcox, with the same result, and the major was fined $100 and costs and committed to the county fail until such time as he should be ready to answer the questions of the court, DIED.

[1S 1§ AN 00D PREDICAMENT Dissenions in Health Board Provent it from Oomplyiwg with Oourt's Order. IT IS ALL ABOUT LOCATION OF DUMP Half the Members Want it Outside the Clty and Half Ioside—Absence of Oue Faction Yesterday—Meet Agmun Monday. The present status of the Board of Health in its relations to Judge Ferguson's court is somewhat pecullar. The board s under positive Instructions from the court to fix & dumping ground for garbage, but cannot obey because its membership Is equally di- vided on the location of the proposed dump and cannot get together. Several futile ef- forts have been made to agree on a location to be submifted to tha court, but the mem- bers are apparently no closer to an agree- ment than they were when the controversy was first started. The matter all hinges on the Interests of the garbage contractors. MeAndrews, Blu- mer and Duncan want a dumping place lo- cated out in the country somewhere not less than two and three-quarters miles from the city limits. Mayor Bemis, Chiet Seavey and Commissioner Saville are equally deter- mined to have a dumping ground located at some point on the river within the city lim- its. The foot of Leavenworth street s the location most favored by the latter faction, but this is warmly opposed by the garbage contractors, who expect that if a dumping ground should be established at a consider- ablo distance from the city limits it would frecze out most of the smaller fry and give them almost as much of a monopoly as the contract that was knocked out by Judge Ferguson's original decision. A meeting of the board was called o'clock yesterday afternoon to decide on a dumping ground, in accordance with the mandate of the court. Neither McAndrews nor Bruner put in an appearance, and Dun- can looked in long enough to say that he had_important business and could not at- tend the meeting. After some discussion between the three members present, Acting Assistant City Attorney Maccomber was called in for advice. The mayor wanted to know whether there was any legal means by which the board could compel the absent members to attend. Judge Maccomber de- cided that nothing could be done in that direction more than to see that the mem- bers had ample notice of the meeting. The question was raised whether the board would not be liable for contempt in failing to act on the order of the court, as with only three members present it was im- possible to take any official action, and every effort had been made to obtain the presence of the other members without suc- cess. Acting on the advice of the attorney, the board adjourned until Monday, after preparing a statement for the benefit of the court to the effect that the three members named had appeared as directed, but that the board had been unable to take action on account of the delinquency of the three members. This, the city attorney advised, would protect the members who were present and lay the burden of the failure to act on the members who had refused to attend. RAILROADS ON THE RACK. at 3 Interstate Commerce Commission After Them for Violations of Law. WASHINGTON, July 5.—A big gathering of representatives of railroad and steam- ship companies engaged in the Atlantic coast trade is expected at the rooms of the Interstate Commerce commission on Friday, when they will conduct an inquiry into certain alleged discriminations in rates. In the order summoning the appearance of the rallroad people the commission says: It appeal from an inspection of the joint tariffs of rates. .upon interstate traflic to points in Georgla, Tennessee, Alabama and other southern territory east of the Mis- sissippl river and south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers that carrlers in many cases make a greater charge for the trans- portation of such traffic for a shorter than a longer distance, and that by reason of recent changes in th the num- ber of these departu the rule of the state has been gri ased and the disparity between the longer and shorter distances has in many cases been greatly enlarged, and also that there is reason to belleve that notice of the changes in rates has not been given to the commission nor to the public, as required by w." ~ The carriers embraced in the scope of the order include the Pennsylvania road, the Cumberland Valley, the Norfolk & Western, the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgla, the New York, Philadelphia & Norfolk, the Richmond & Danville, the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac, the Atlantic Coast line and other southern roads; the Old Dominion, Clyde, Ocean and Merchants and Miners Steamship com- panies, the Nashville & Chattanooga road, the Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pa- cifle, the Illinois Central and other west- ern companies. The discriminations com- plained of are a result of the late rate war, which was started by a combination of the steamship and railroad lines. Only com- petitive points, however, profited by tne cut, and the rates to noncompetitive points were unchanged. For Instance, the rate from New York to Atlanta was reduced from $1.45 per 100 pounds to 05 cents, but the intermediate points continued to pay the old rates. These cuts in the east were felt by the lines running between the Ohio line and the Atlantic, where there was a big reduction In the rates to competitive points, but none to intermediate pollms, e Closed by Creditors. I Oberfelder & Co., wholesale millinery, were closed up late yesterday afternoon by creditors.

The efficacy and nutritive quality of lacta- ted food is today acknowledged by everyone. As a preventive of cholera Infantum .t is worth more than all the medicines in the world. As a strength-giver to growing infants nothing can compare with it. As a food that is easy to procure and prepare, and is Iiked by the little ones themselves, too much cannot be said for it. It has saved the lives of thousands of in- fants within the last few years. It has been the food of hundreds of babies wl have mever been sick.

We tried several differ- ent kinds of infant foods, but none agreed with until we commenced the use of lactated food. Now he is perfectly heaithy. We are still using the food and recommend it to all our friends.” This is the experience of hundreds of mothers in this vicinity and will be the ex- perience of hurdreds more. milk insuffi- es. fails to show a PTURE can be CURED IN4TO 10 WEEKS Our Bond Cuarantees no Pay until Cured.
