AFTER wrecking the Nation's industries by threats of free trade and passing the Wilson bill, which, abrogated the reciprocity treaties, the Cleveland administration tackled the financial with equally disastrous results.

Tnii Department of Agriculture reports a decrease of the value of horses during 1S0-I of $192,000,000. That is rather hard on farmers, but they are not the only suffeiers from this free trade, bond-sell-ing, gold-standard administration.

THE American Economist has a line story without words in its last issue. It is a series of seven pictures showing the condition of this country. 1. Under protection Uncle Sam is paying oil' bonds fast as the holders come up with them. 2. Factories are all booming and have a placard on the outer wall "Extra hands wanted." 3. A free trade orator is explaining to a large audience what free trade means, viz Higher wages, cheaper necessities, higher prices for American products, more factories, more work, prosperity, contentment, happiuess. Such was the speech of the free trader in 1802, did it come true:' 4. Thi Wilson bill passed, hooray! hooray!, 5, This factory is closed. Notice, this bauk is closed, working men out of work, men standing before the bursted bank. 6. Uncle Sam with an empty treasury and a notice posted $50,000,000 U. S. bonds for sale, and au Englishman walking tip swopping gold for bonds. 7. Uncle Sam slipping round to a pawn brokers shop in Wall St. with $50,000,000 more bonds under his arm for sale. 8. Uncle Sam flat of his back with Johnny Bull on him with his hand on Uncle Sams throat and a British banker getting the last sack of gold out of the U. S. treasury. The pictures speak for themselves. Who wants that state of affairs to exist or continue in the future. Certainly no patriotic American/ Then do some thinking and vote right when the time comes.

Docs justice require that silver be re-' tized on the old ratio of 10 to 1?

i^uoto a plain toe of

fiit't.s right at tho start, and to that end

question, treme case. We have the official facts in the federal census and the authorized statistics of tho nation and states.

mi:

personally int'Tesfed and which is but a type of many thous.imK My home is in a town of some 2.000 people in the Wabash valley, in a region singularly: blest by nature in climate, timber, coal, rock and water, and with a soil fruitful in all the products of toe middle temperate zone. There I own a little real', estate, and every fact herein given is within my personal knowledge and canbe verified by the records. Several yearsago the county bonded itself heavily tobuild a jail and courthouse and for? other purposes, and some of the bonds are still due, and las a real estate owner must pay taxes thereon. v: When this debt was contracted, a$l,-, 000 bond would have bought in that, town !)."i2 bushels of wheat. It will today buy bushels. It would then havo bought 1,700 bushels ol corn. It will today buy :!,00() bushels. It would then have bought eight good averago farm horses. It will today buy 20. It would then have bought 10 acres of first class land within easy sound of tho courthouse bell. It will today buy 20. And so I might go around the list, for of all farm staples pork is the only ono sold at. near tho old price, and that, as everybody knows, is a purely accidental and temporal'}* matter.

Now, I respectfully submit the question to any honest man as yet untainted by goklbug sophisti'3', Is not tho practical result just the samo as if the government had sent tho army thero and compelled those farmers and owners of town property to pay $2 where they had agreed to pay £1? And if this be, as wo believe, the result of legislation, wherein is it morally one whit better than highway robbery? Nor is this an ex-

Goldbitg Sophistries.

I anticipate tho answers. We aro ail familiar with them. The first is that invention has greatly cheapened production. This is a self evident falsehood. Thero is not an implement now in use on tho farms of Indiana that was not then, save possibly the twine binder, then invented, but not in general use. The labor cost of farm produce has not decreased by so much as 2 per cent. But supjio.se it were true. Should the creditor have all tho gain of an advancing civilization? Is not tho farmer entitled to at least one-half of it? The goldbug argument on this point is self destructive. They assert that invention and the consequently increased production have cheapened commodities 50 per cent. They next assert that the enormous output of the mines has cheapened silver 5 0 per cent. Therefore, they say, silver is not ''honest money." If tho premises had smallpox, the conclusion would never catch it—so far aro they apart. We know it to be true that jiroducts havo cheapened 50 per cent in terms of gold if it be also true that advancing civilization has cheapened silver in the same ratio, is it not conclusive that silver is the best possible continuous measure of values? Is it not, our enemies themselves being judges, the ideal money for which economists have sighed so long—tho money which will, through all the changes of years, buy most nearly tho same amount of commodities? Is it not indeed tho only money which works exact justice, enabling the creditor to buy as much as did tho money he lent and compelling tho debtor to pay no more?

I maintain, however, that thoir contention as to silver is falso. I insist that of all products of human labor silver is the most consistent in value—that is, it bears in purchasing power tho least variable relation to other commodities —and that gold is, by natural law, as shown by geology and metallurgy, at least four times as subject to fluctuations in value as silver. Of this I will treat later. Much is said of overproduction, especially in wheat, but it has repeatedly been proved that the world does not yet produce all tho wheat it wants. Our agricultural department shows that consumption of the grain has decreased in this country, oheaper stuffs being substituted, and in Europe there are still 100,000,000 people \vho can not afford whoaten bread, but use rye, onts and potatoes. Aro we to suppose that they do that for fun? No, the

wor

I

I'T O I

id's creditors have their grip on the

throats of the world's producers, and the law is on their side. That claim of theirs we sadly admit.

Strong Point* For Silver.

We hear much also of tho competition of Argentino and other lands, but the fact is skillfully evaded that it is the war on silver which has stimulated the export from these countries. The Argentine minister, Dr. Zeballos, tells me that if the world's present policy bo continued his country will shut out all American grain from the European markets within ten years, and Seuor Romero, Mexican minister, in a written reply to my questions, says: "While it is true that the Mexican coin when converted into foreign exchange has no other value than that of tho silver bullion contained in it, it is also a fact that the difference has greatly encouraged and increased the export of other products, and has also greatly favored manufacturing, in order to avoid the buying of I exchange to pay for imports from counI tries having a gold standard. The purI chasing power of the Mexican silver dollar has iiot been changed in Mexico^

so there is more stability in prices and wages, which is also p. great advantage. Our economic conditions are now better than those prevailing in gold countries, We havo fewer failures, and the increase of traffic has prevented our railroads going into the hands of receivers." Will somo ono kindly mention a gold basis nation whero the general condition is improving, exports increasing and no railroads going into tho hands of receivers?

Cold Appreciation.

Is it pnssiblo to dissociate silver from its traditionary connection with gold, to divest the mind of misleading improssions due to the long habit of quoting silver in terms of gold, and get a fair view of tho metal on its merits? On this point I lirst present a bit of history. In 1871 silver was as now a commodity, and gold was the .same, for both were demonetized by tho greenback. Near the close of that year a ten ounce I silver bar (no liar, no buying it up by government credit) sold in New York city for si: 10 in gold. Gold was at a lower premium than some years after, so the bar of silver was worth almost exactly si5 in greenbacks. This would .1 lien buy in New York city 9'.j bushels o! wheat, 2i of oars, 15 of rye or 1-S of corn, and likewise 80 pounds of cotton or :i0 of wool or :HU of bar iron. Today that ten ounce bar of silver would sell, 1 believe, for •?(.MO, which would buy in New York city 11 bushels oi' wheat, n- 112 pounds of cotton, nearly twice as much bar iron as in 1871, somewhat less of rye, oats and pork, and somo\vhat more of other things. On the general average of 100 commodities tho purchasing power of uncoined silver has declined, as near as I can estimate it, 10 per cent. Now, it is clear to my mind •That that .10 per cent is exactly equal to tho cheapening caused by increased invention in mining and reduction and by the general demonetization. It would take columns of figures to prove it, but

I also believo it to bo true that the smaller cost of producing commodities, due to inventions since 1871, would with a stable money have been balanced, or nearly so, by increased consumption, and that as measured by an ideally perfect or absolutely invariable standard commodities have really cheapened but the merest triflosinco 1871. All tho rest which appears in the nominal quotations is due to the 40 per cent increase in the purchasing power of gold. lilinded by Self Interest.

The cold hard truth is that on this particular point thegoldbugs aro afflicted with a delusion liko that which possesses a child or a green landsman voyaging down a very crooked river. Now the sun is on his right and now on his left, at one time in the north and again in tho southeast, while woods and hills move round him in a regular devil's dance, but to his eye tho boat goes straight on. Tho landsman knows better, and the child can be taught better, and both will admit tho truth because they gain nothing by self deception, but the goldbug's interest blinds him, and though convinced by unanswerable figures he would still deny tho truth.

Our creditors have assumed, as if it wero a primary truth, that while all other articles on earth are perpetually changing in value gold alone is gifted with tiie groat attribute of God—immutability. They have asserted this so loud and long that they have come to believe it themselves, and this radical error has debauched all their political thinking. In vain do we point out to them that a bar of uncoined silver will exchange for nearly as much as 80 years ago, while uncoined gold will exchango for 40 per cent more. In vain do we prove the steady decline of all commodities in equal measuro with silver, and that regardless of new inventions or relative production.

Silver the Most Constant Value.

I would not rashly rush in where angels fear to tread and contradict scientific men who havo made an exhaustive study of the subject, but certainly all the evidenco in my possession goes to provo that silver is tho most constant in value of all tho precious metals, and that gold is extremely variable. I present a few reasons. Nearly all the silver is produced from deep lodes—great fissures extending to unknown depths in the earth, caused by primal convulsions and filled probably by mineral rising in a sublimated state. A true fissure vein onco well opened is a permanent property, and the supply therefrom is, as a rule, tolerably regular. Such mining is in every sense a legitimate business, and even if thero is an immense yield for a fow years it makes but a trifling difference becauso of tho vast stock already in the world.

Gold, on the other hand, is largely the product of placer, gulch and bar, of washing in gravel beds and picking nuggets from apparently accidental deposits. In such mining there is no certainty, and hence a gold famine like that in tho early part of this century is followed by a gold glut like that of 1850-(50, and that in turn by a gold famine. It is truo that there aro permanent and reliable lode mines of gold, but enough of the others to produce great variations. Let gold be quoted in terms of silver, and all men would soon recognize that it is the more variable in value.

And if any reader thinks that the gold basis will broaden to fit the needs of commerce let him consider these facts, given by tho eminent statistician Mulhall: "In 1800 tho international commerce of the world aggregated but $1,510,000,000, less than tho exports and imports of tho United States last yoar. In 1840 it was but $2,8(15,000,000, when all the world had but 4,515 miles of railway and ocean shipping of but 10,482,000 tonnage. Today tho world has 884,000 miles of railway, over 41,000,000 tonnago of ocean shipping, 14 intercontinental ocoan cables and an international commerce a little in excess of $ 18,000,000,000. But crodi currency supplies the deficiency." Unfortunately true. Credit has expauded far beyond the sustaining power of the gold basis. And that's what's the matter with the

country. J. H. BROWNING.

III.—AUTUX AND BRIKNXK. The old town of Autun lies on thp left bank of the Arroux, 104 miles south east of Paris. Here tho boys Buonaparte were put to school, in January of 1771). The town is an epitome of European history. It was the capital of the brave .ZEdnans, whom C-.rsar overcame in the lirst year of the Gallic war. Napoleon, in his tenth year, arrived at tho gates, lie was put under charge of tho Abbe Chardon, nephew of the General Marbauif. Tin) latter devoted himself to the interests of the Buonaparte family, and paid a part of the expenses.

Meanwhile the father and Marbrrnt had gone to Versailles, and were assiduous iu their efforts to net tho boys estu-b-

lished as pensioners. The solicitation was that the young fellows should be educated at tho expense of tho state. Marbeeuf invented a fiction, flecked with fact, about tho nobility of his wards and the petition was granted finally as to Napoleon. But Joseph had now passed the limit of his eleventh year, and was no longer eligible—unless by violation of law. He must therefore be diverted to the priesthood, while the younger brother was assigned, at tho public charge, to tho military academy at Brionne-la-Chapclie, on tho right bank of tho Aube, in tho department of tho same name, a hundred and eighteen miles from Paris. Thither he was transferred in tho latter part of April, 177!), and was admitted as a cadet.

At Autun, tho chief business had been to teach him French. Ho applied himself closely to this task, but not very successfully. He learned to speak French, brokenly, with an Italian accent. To the end of his life he never acquired a nice knowledge of the adopted tongue. His grammar was broken, his composition thunderstruck, and his spelling heretical. His practical knowledge of tho language which ho was destined to use for forty-two years in his intercourse with men was sufficient but his mind was never tolerent of technicalities.

This trait of neglecting the exactitudes was stronglj' maniiested from Napoleon's childhood. He went as far as the practical in whatever subject ho touched but having seized thus much, ho cared for nothing else. Pie desired correctness in others, for that was useful to him but as for himself, he wanted only aggregate results and a knowledgo of their practical advantage. All authors have commented on tho inaccuracies and lapses in tho Napoleonic correspondence and manuscripts. It became his habit to slur over, in his rapid way, tho errors in his writing and his arrogance seemed to convince him that, whilo correct -i liing was an accomplishment in pedagogues, it was rather a fault in great men.

The young Bonaparto is described by his master as being of solemn demeanor rarely laughing never happy or mirthful no disposition for playing proud and solitary easily wounded always resentful learning with lightning-like rapidity, but stopping short of correctness vain of his faculties patriotism almost morbid disliking the powerful foreign race with which his lot had been cast looking back regretfully to Corsica, and (most unboylike) thinking more of his country than ho did of his home aud mother.

Already, before leaving Autun, the pale little Bonaparto fell into frequent quarrels with his French schoolmates about the Corsican revolution! They insulted him with the charge that his countrymen had been cowards else they would havo won their independence. To this he answered angrily that if the French had outnumbered his people only four to one, tho invaders would have been defeated. Military calculation already I

The military academy at Brienne was one of ten of like kind recently established in tho kingdom. Besides these, thore were two higher schools, one at Paris and the other at La Fleche. This system had superseded another which had failed on account of its unpopularity. Tho military education and the right thereto was a plum for tho nobles. Boys of the Third Estate had therein no part or lot. In the schools wero gathered the weakened reproductions of a moribund nobility. The governors of the schools were even as tf»o cadets. The institutions degnerated, until thore was a popular reaction against them. Thero was a reform, headed by tho Church. New Bchools wero established, and monks wero put In charge of them!

At tho timo when the boy Napoleon went to Brienne, the remarkable condition was presented of a system of military schools in charge of the monastio

fathers. Tho Brienne academy was conducted by tho Minim Fathers, good men in their way, but as sources of inspiration to lads with the gleam of military glory in their brains they wero mere dullness and obfuscation! Tho courses I of study were mathematics, geography,

1

history, Latin, modern languages, philosophy, and such poor misnamed seienco as might be squeezed from the sponge of clerical dogmatism in the eighteenth century.

Such was the disciplinary fare which I was offered to tho boy Napoleon. He was now far removed from friends and I kinsmi a. ile made the acquaintance of I his schoolmates admired one of them —Bourionu.—and seemed to lovo another—Des Ma/.is but his character and manner were rocks, of offense to tin* rest of the hundred and fifty. Nothing more striking has been presented in personal annals than the contrast which tho poor

Cor.-ican lad, with his solemn

face,

long, stiff Mack hair, haughty expression, clo:-e-shut Italhi'i m-urh, solitary pride of bearing, and unfashionable insular suit, afforded to the throng of noble, mocking effeminates among whom ho was washed up as from the sea.

On his entrance into the academy— •which was a clean, well-ordered place —Napoleon brought from tho Abbo Chardon certificates of mode-rate proficioncy and the usual character-sketch ot himself as a pupil. But nothing proeoted him from the inane animosity of his fellows. They j-cred at him in a I manner that would havo driven a less resolute spirit to despair. Ilad ho been complaisant, ho might easily have won peace, if not popularity but. his defiant air seemed to challenge tho attacks of the contemptuous crowd.

Deep down in the situation lay tho provocation of poverty. Tim boy perceived the disparagement to which ho was subjected on this score and it maddened him not a little. His most troublesome characteristic was this—that he would not follow in anything. He would lead. Ho would be first or nothing. Assumption of leadership and the air of it brought on him still greater contumely. The bitterness of the situation sometimes came to tho verge of bloodshed. Once he got himself arrested for challenging another to fight him on account of an insulting remark about his father. The sullen boy went muttering to tho guard-house. Nor was he restored to condition until Marbeeuf had interceded in person with the authorities.

Out of this epoch come some wellknown stories of the student Bonaparte at Brienne. In course of time, his fel-low-cadets, understanding him better, becaim.' first tolerant, and then friendly. Friendship in tho ease of the proud and arbitrary cadet meant subjection to his will. While he could not bo companionable in sports, he could and would command. The existence of the tradition about his dividing his fellows into two armies, building a fort in winter out of snow (building it, too, according to tho

principles of good engineering!), mak-

ing a siege, with snowballs for bombs, aud with all the seriousness of Genghis Khan carrying the place by storm, may well attest his disposition and growing ascendency at the academy.

Tho young Napoleon remained at BriI ennefrom April of 1771) to tho year 1784. The inspector Keralio, coming from

Paris to the military school, discerned in tho slender cadet from Ajaccio the hints of promise. The method was in such cases to send up students from the minor academies to tho Military School I of Paris. Sometimes promotion was made directly to the navy and this was considered a great honor. It appears that tho inspector would havo had Cadet

Bonaparto sent to the fleet but tho officor died before his wish could be fulfill* ed.

Accordingly, at tho end of Napoleon'? course at Brienne, ho was recommended for promotion to the military school in Paris. At this time, namely, in 1784, when Napoleon was in his sixteenth year, ho was personally described by tho inspector in tho following terms "M. do Bonaparto (Napoleon), born August 15, 17(ii). Height, 4 pieds, 10 pouces, 10 lignes( metre, 59 centimetres, 3 millimetres= 5 feet, 2.7 inches), is in tho fourth class of good constitution, excellent health, mild disposition (mistake there, Inspector!). Is upright, gratoful conduct very regular has been always distinguished for his application to mathematics is fairly acquainted with history and geography is weak in all accomplishments (very true, Monsieur do Keralio!) and Latin. He will make an exc llent sailor deserves promotion to the Military School in Paris.

Tho character of the young Napoleon at this period of his career reveals in one thing a depth and far-off sigh that might well havo belonged to the forceful years of his maturity. Tho thing related to Joseph, his brother. As early as the coming t.o Autun, Napoleon excogitated tho scheme to lodgo his brother on the safo ledge of the priesthood. Thus would he have him out of his way! Given a military career for both, and Joseph must be, by seniority, before him. But nothing shall be before him. Arguments fit for Richelieu aro found why Joseph shall enter tho Church, rise to distinction, be a Mouseignour, and by that way defend, support and advance the prospects of tho family of Buonaparte. As for me,
