TIIE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 1890.

your correspondent this afternoon: "Since about the 5th of April last, when the price of silver began to advance, the price of wheat has gone up 15 cents per bushel, corn about 12 cents per bushel, cotton betweu 1 and 2 cents, per pound, and butter and cheese in near the same proportion. The average wheat crop of this country during the past fifteen vars has been about 450,000,000 bushels. The average corn crop for ten years has been about 1,S 00,000,000 bushels, the cotton crop about 1,700.000,000 pounds, and the butter product about 12,000,000 ponnda. and the cheese product about lS.OOO.OUO pounds. This advance would have amounted to over S 400,000,000 if it bad come in time to cover the whole of last year's product of these five articles. The advance in the price of silver during that time has been 18 cents per ounce, which, when applied to the CO.000.000 onnces of silver annually produced in this country would amount to onlr Sy.OOO.OOO, By these ligures you will see that the farmers have been benefited forty times as much as the silver mines by this advance, yet 1 am told that a paper called the National Economist, which claims to represent the Farmers Alliance, is complaining of a silver lobby securing the passage of the silver bill.7' "Do you think the advance will he held," was isked. Yes," naid Mr. Jones. "If the present bill is honestly carried out and a sufficient volume of greenbacks issued to meet the requirements for money among American producers. Silver alone, nor silver and gold combined, will meet one quarter such requirements, especially for the next few years, during which all outstanding national bank notes must be retired." "Do you believe the present silver bill will be faithfully carried out!" That depends on the President and the Secretary of the Treasury. I have not seen either of tbem since the bill passed, but am told both of them said it will be, and it is sincerely to be honed, for the sake of the American producers, that such will be tho case." 'Do you expect a large attendance at the national Greenback conference to be held at Indianapolis on the 27th of this month!" "From present indications there will be a fair number present. Of course, it is called and will be held as aconference of national Greenbackers, who will then and there preserve the great fundamental principles and name for which they have so long and honestly labored. 1 do not expect much time will be spent on the history or theories of money.7'

BLAINE'S RECIPROCITY LETTER. It Comes TJp for Lively Discussion in the Senate Mr. Fryes View of It. Washington', Aug. 6. After some routine business of little importance the Senate proceeded to the consideration of the tar ill', the pending question being on Mr. Morgan's amendment to paragraph 127, page 24, in regard to iron ore. Mr. Gorman resumed bis argument. The metal schedule, he said, was. perhaps, the most important one in the? bill, and the paragraph under discussion was practically a key to the whole schedule. The rate of duty on iron ore controlled to a largo extent the cost of the production of all iron and steal east of the Alleghenies. Mr. Gorman sposo at great length in favor of the reduction of the duty on bessemercre, having, in the course of his remarks, colloquies with Mr. Sherman, Mr. Culloin, Mr. Spooner, Mr. Blair, Mr. Dawes and other Senators. Mr. Gorman eaid that with a reduction of duty on foreign bessemer ores the result would be that steel ships .would be built as cheaply in Baltimore 'as on the Clyde. With that advantage, he said, the prediction of the great Republican Secretary of State would be verified. Mr. Blaine had said, and said truthfully, that within the confines of the bill thorn was not a single item or line that would open the market to the agricultural, products of the United States. Mr. Frye replied: "The Secretary of State has been quoted several times in the Senate as arguing that the McKinley bill did not in any of its features open up markets. Now, the Secretary of State was dealing in that letter entirely with foreign and not home markets. And it will be clear to any Senator who has read tho letter that he intended to have said, and expected to have been understood, that in the McKinley bill there was nothing to open up foreign markets. I do not understand that in a pro tective tariff there is an especial purpose to open up foreign markets. It is the purpose of a protective tariff' to create a home market, which is worth infinitely more than any foreign market. And that was, undoubtedly, the understanding of the Secretary of State, and not a purpose to relfect at all on the McKinley nill, except so far as that there was nothing in it intended to open up foreign markets, and he desired to have something put in it. in the way of reciprocitv, by which the foreign markets might be opened up." Mr. Butler asked: "Then 1 understand that tne Secretary of State was in favor of opening up foreign marketH to American manufacturers''7 Mr. Frye answered: "Undoubtedly he was in favor of some reciprocal relations with the republics to the south of us, by which the market of the United States might be extended to them." Mr. Butler asked again: "Then, in short, be was in favor of opening foreign markets!" Mr. Frye replied: "He was in favor of resorting to some measure by which tho high duties imposed by the South American republic on products of the United States might bo reduced aud removed, thus enabling us to send our goods to those markets.;P Mr. Butler persisted: "Then he was in favor of opening up foreign markets to American manufacturers!" Mr. Fryo again replied: "He was in favor of opening foreign markets to the American producers of provisions and breadstuff." "Not of the manufacturers of the country?" asked Mr. Butler. "He said nothing of manufacturers," said Mr. Frye. "It is well understood that the South American republics cannot afford to open their markets to all our manufactured goods, because they depend entirely on their import and'export duties for money to carry on their governments." Mr. Gray spoko of "the remarkable gloss put by Mr. Frye on Mr. Blaine's letter," and he went on to read extracts from the letter to show that Mr. Frye's interpretation of it was not tho natural or correct one. Mr. Frye stated, in reply to Mr. Gray, that Mr. Blaine had criticised the bill in simply one regard the provision making nugar fre. In his judgment, Mr. .Blaine had simply criticised it because the freesugar provision was not accompanied with a provision that would open up themarkets of South American countries to the products of American farms. That was a criticism which he himself would have made. There was no otber criticism made by Mr. Blaine on the McKinley . bill, aud he himself sympathized strongly in that criticism. Mr. Gibson denied the statement that Mr. Blaine's letter referred to sugar alone, and asserted that it referred also to hides, and wool, and ores. Tho Secretary of State stood committed. Mr. Gibson said, to the broad policy of reciprocity with South American and Central American states. Mr. Morgan withdrew his amendment in order to allow Mr. Gorman to offer one; and Mr. Gorman thereupon moved to amend by reducing the duty on iron ore from 73 to flo cents per ton. Mr. Plumb moved to amend the amendment by making the rate GO cents per ton. Mr. Gorman accepted the amendment. The amendment was rejected, yeas, 11; nays. I'D. Messrs. Dawes, Ingalls, "Paddock and rinrnb voted aye with the Democrats, and Mr. Payne was paired with a Democrat, Mr. Barbour. The rest of paragraph 127 was agreed to as reported by the finance committee. Mr. Vanco moved to reduce the duty on pig-iron, paragraph 128. from 310 of a cent per pound to $r a ton. Without disposing of the amendment the Senate adjourned. NEW DEPUTY COMPTROLLER. Mr. Nixon's Appointment Made Yesterdaylie Arrives to Ifocelve It. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington. Aug. ft Robert 5f. Nixon, of New Castle, arrived to-day to take the position of Deputy Comptroller of the Currency. He ia stopping at the Ebbitt, and was called upon to-night by a number of Hoosiers. Mr. Nixon received hia appointment to-day. The Comptroller is very much pleased with Mr. Nixon, and said he liked him from tho moment he first saw hi in. Mr. Nixon met Comptroller Lacey

not long after the inauguration of Presidrnt Harrison, and made application for the position of bank examiner for Indiana, but he) was induced to -with-draw his application after being assured that if he would apply for the position of Deputy Comptroller he would receive additional support. General Browne took charge of Mr. Nixon's campaign from the start, and to him more than any other man is due the credit of the appointment. Hon. Henry U. Johnson, of Kichmond, who is to be General Browne's successor in Congress, was also an earnest indorser of Mr.. Nixon. Those who have seen him, and especially the officials in the Treasury Department, say that Mr. Nixon is especially well fitted for the position, and predict that he will make a very eflicient ollicer. Inasmuch as Comptroller Lacey intends to be absent from the olh'ce considerable of the time in the future, and the deputy will be acting Comptroller, the position is an iinportaut one, and it is fortunate that one so well equipped by experience in practical banking and the practice of law has been selected. His bond i$ $50,000. MIL CLAF.KSON'S PLANS.

He Knows Nothing About Ills Reported Purchase of a Denver Newspaper. Special to tie Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Aug. C First Assistant Postmaster-general Clarkson, when asked to-day whether there was any truth in the report that he was at tho head of a syndicate which had purchased tho Denver News and that it was his purpose to remove to Colorado and become editor of that newspaper, said: "I do not know anything about the Denver newspaper matter. I bavo no interest in and havo not heard of it before." Mr. Clarkson has not yet entered into a business arrangement and does ! not know what he will do when he leaves the Postollice Department. He prefers to locate in the East, aud it is not improbable that he will engage in the newspaper business somewhere east of the Allegheny mountains. He has been tendered very tempting propositions to become editor or proprietor of prominent newspapers in the far West, and he has been otlered several railroad and other positions, but up to this time he has not accepted any of theVn. and it is not likely that he has considered any of them seriously. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. Enumerators Frequently Neglected TwoThirds of the Questions to Be Asked. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Aug. G. The Census Office is having tronblo with its agricultural returns. Many of the reports thus far received are almost absolutely worthless, so far as furnishiug reliable statistics is. concerned. Itlias been found necessary to suspend the pav of supervisors in the First and Second Indiana districts, asthe returns are of no value. In Minnesota there are serious blunders, but it has been found ueceseory to throw out the work of only one enumerator. In gathering these farm statistics, enumerators have taken the name and size of the farm, acres under cultivation and one or two other matters mentioned in the schedule, but have neglected more tbau two-thirds of the other questions. The returns show only part of the farm products. How to get around the difficulty is now puzzling the bureau. MINOIl MATTERS. Gen. Adam Iladeau'a Military Status Finally Fixed by the Attorney-General. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington. Aug. a The status of Gen. Adam Badeau, who, for tho past fifteen years, has been on and off the rolls of the army as a retired officer, has been at last decided by Attorney-general Miller. The decision holds that there is no legal right to bear Badean's name on the retired list of the army. General Badeau was appointed as assistant secretary of - legation at London, May C, 1869, and resigned his position in the army.. Hesnbeequently resigned his position as assistant secretary of legation, was restored to the army and was afterwards appointed consul-general to London. After this he was placed on the retired list, was dropped, and by various decisions was put on and taken oil' again, at intervals, for several years. Now the Attorney-general decides that when he resigned on May C, 1SG9, he was finally out of the army, and all other decisions in his case wero erroneous. Movements of the President. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Aug. C The President returned to the city this afternoon about 2 o'clock from Cape May. He will probably leave on Saturday for New York to take the cruiser Baltimore for Boston to attend the Grand Army encampment at the Hub. Some time week after next he will make another trip to Cape May, and about the last of the month ho and family will go to Cresson, Pa. General Notes. The collector of customs at Astoria, Ore., has been instructed by the Treasury Department to cease issuing certificates to "alleged Chinese merchants or others'' leaving the United States with the intention of returning. Several petitions have recently been received by statistician Dodge, of the Agricultural Department, from the Chicago and St. Louis boards of trade asking for a change in the hour for issuing the monthly crop report. The department has notihed the petitioners that if they can secure a majority of tho exchanges in the West iu favor of the change, the report will be issued atl o'clock i. M., instead of 4 P. M., and tbat no change will be made this month, but probably beginning with September the report will be issued at 1 o'clock. Secretary Noble instructed the Commissioner of the General Land Office to renew the order suspending from settlement and entry the sections of land in Tulare county, California, upou which mammoth trees" are growing. Secretary Windom to-day appointed Robert M. Nixon, of New Castle. Ind., to tho vacant deputy comptrollership of the currency. STRUCK BY A TORNADO.

Senor Rocha undertook to form it It is impossible to describe the indignation that prevails, arising from President Celman's playing with his solemn promise to resign. Every effort was used to prevent Vice-president Pellegrini from resigning, as he would become President if the Chamber should accopt President Cel man's resignation.' It was expected that in the event of his becoming President Senor Pellegrini would surround himself with the best and .most honorable men.

A committee of members waited npon President Celman and cave him two hours iu which to resigu. They threatened that in the eventof his refusal to resign the Congress would impeach him. Celman immediately sent a message to Congress recounting bis services and offering to sacrifice himself to tne welfare of the country. History, he said, would do him justice. The Chambers accepted Celman's resignation by a vote of fit to 22. Pellegrini has assumed the responsibility of forming a new Ministry. It is expected that Senors Metre. Costa.

SPEECH BY SALISBURY. He Is nighly Pleated with His Own AdministrationThe Egyptian Policy. London, Aug. C At a banquet at the Mansion House this evening Lord Salisbury, in a speech, enlarged npon the pacitio aspect of Europe during th e Six years of his government. The powers of Europe, he said, never presented so uninteresting an aspect from the war point of view. The tendency to the settlement of disputes on terms of compromise was spreading fast and influencing every power. The African agreements proved the desire of tho leading powers to maintain amicable relations. Referring to Egypt, the Premier said that nothing in the course of his administration had been more satisfactoryHhan that counT try's steady progress toward financial equilibrium. The future of the country was a diplomatic matter of some delicacy. It was owing to English energy that Egypt flourished. The time had not come for Egypt to govern itself. It would depend to a certain degree upon the actions of other nations when Egypt would be fit to be intrusted with its own government. Regarding home affairs, Lord Salisbury claimed that the present government of Ireland had been successful, and that the country was more orderly, more contented and more prosperous than ever before. He trusted that be would neveragain see. those in power who were pledged to support a reign of anarchy.' Cheers. HARDSHIPS UNDER TURKISH RULE. Desultory "Warfare (on the Albanian Border, in Which Christians Suffer. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Aug. 6. Notwithstanding the efforts of the Turkish authorities to enforce peace, a desultory warfare is raging on the boundaries of Albania and Montenegro, and is attended ,by much barbarity. The Montenegrins recently beheaded four inhabitants of Gussigne. in Albania, and the Albanians proinotly attacked tho Montenegrins and marched into Gussigno with twelve Montenegrin heads stuck on pikes. At latest accounts a band of Montenegrins were hnnting for more Albanian heads. The peasants on the Turkish side of the border, who are mostly Christians, are not allowed to carry arms, and are victimized by both parties, their families maltreated and their children carried off to be disposed of in some slave market. Forty Christian families near Ipek determined to emigrate to Montenegro. Beforo getting across the frontier they were attacked by a large party of Albanians from the mountains. About half of the peasants were killed. Meantime tho Sultan, who seems to pay but little attention to the miseries of his Christian subjects, has been presented by the Grand Vizier with two new wives, one a Persian, the other said to be a girl from Morocco. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. England and France Settle Their Zanzibar Dispute by Agreement. Paris, Aug. 6. The agreement between Franco and England in regard to Zanzibar has been signed.

The agreement also provides that tho British consul in Madagascar shall take his exequatur from the French government. The Jews in Russia, Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal. London. Aug. C Baron Ilirsch is authority for the statement that the denials from St. Petersburg in regard to the treatment of the Jews are merely subterfuges. Tho Czar's government asserts, which is true, that no new rules have been adonted as'to the Jews. The fact is that old and severe statutes which had grown obsolete are being rigidly enforced with terrible effect upon tho Jewish population, especially of the more remote districts. Nothing can be done in Russia to alleviate their condition, and the expatriation of multitudes is inevitable. More Trouble In the British Army. London. Aug. 7. Another instance of insubordination in the army Las justoccurred at Exeter among the men belonging to the artillery battery stationed at that place.

After a full-dress parade on the drill-grounds a recess was taken. To-night about five thousand people gathered on the lake front to witness the conferring of the degree of chivalry and the display of lire-works. There were a number of Patriarchs candidates for the degrees as well as one civilian, Mayor Creier. The degrees were conferred by four young belles of Paducah, Ky., the Misses Sallie Hobbs. Ida Roberts. Mattie Roberts and Kat Roundtree. They were attired in white, with black velvet embroidered capes, faced with scarlet silk. The first named lady fastened the golden spurs to tho heels of tbe candidates' boots, the second presented th chevalier's sword, the third the steel gauntlet and the fourth a silken glove. A badga was then placed by a little girl on the breasts of the newly-made chevaliers. The display of tire-works was in sixteen divisions, and is claimed to have been the most elaborate ever given in the country. The general headquarters have been'delngert to-day with dispatches from cantons that had keen expected, 6ayinir that they had been held up by the railroads and would not come at all. Especially was this tbe case with the Pacific coast delegations and those due from New York, Indiana. Ohio and Canada. In every instance the Patriarchs iound, when upon the eve of starting that the rates had been Advanced several dollars above those at first quoted them. As a resultthe cantonment, so far ns numbers are concerned, is a fizzle. At seven first-class hotels there were registered but 9S0 Odd-fellows. In addition, nearly one hundred are camped at tho Sixth Regiment Armory and quite a number are scattered about the city. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.
