Mrs. Alice Stockberger is a pretty
widow of Rochester, Ind., and John
WalterB Is a rich farmer aged 70, who
lives near Peru. Uncle John "inade up"
to the widow and after a while changed
his mind, whereupon Mrs. S. sued for
damages. The jury kindly awarded her
$4,200, but while she was congratulat-
ing herself the judge cut tho amount
down to $1,200. Uncle John Is now ad-
monishing the boys to beware of "vld-
ders," Just the same.
Charles McQuinn, a wandering Wil-
lie, struck Louisville the other day and
applied at the Wayfarers' Rest for a
night's lodging. He explained that he
had not slept in a bed for three years,
and he wanted to experience a new sen-
sation by reposing just once in a nice
warm bed. He got more than Ills wild-
est fancy depicted. He got a red-hot
bed and new sensations to throw at
the birds. The bed given him had not
had a human occupant for some days,
but others than tramps hanker after
warm beds. Unbeknownst to the man-
agers a swarm of bees had come in
through the open window, and had ap-
propriated the mattress as a make-
shift hive. They resented the intrusion
of Mr. McQuinn pointedly, so to speak,
and warmly. He was cured, perhaps
forever, of the baneful desire to sleep
In a warm bed, and took to the woods
again. Almost as painful as the sting-
ing rebukes administered by the bees
was the reflection that he had worked
three hours chopping wood to get the
coveted bed.
The amount of railway capital on
June 30, 1895, Is shown by the govern-
ment report to be $10,985,203,125,or $6:1,-
330 per mile of line. The increase dur-
ing the year was $188,729,312. Railway
capital was distributed as follows: The
amount of capital stock was $4,961,-
258,656, of which $4,201,697,351 was
common stock, and $759,561,305 pre-
ferred stock; the funded debt was $5,-
407,114,313, classified ns bonds, $4,659,-
873,548, miscellaneous obligations,
$445,221,472, Income bonds, $246,103,966,
and equipment trust obligations, $55,-
915,327; the current liabilities amount-
ed to $616,830,156. Of tho capital stock
outstanding. $1,169,071,178, or 23.57 per
cent was owned by the railway cor-
porations, as well as $137,508,841, or
9.39 per cent of bonds outstanding.
These figures show an increase In the
corporate ownership of securities, prob-
ably rather due to railway consolida-
tion than to the strengthening of re-
serve funds. Stock to the amount of
$3,475,640,203, or 70.05 per cent of the
total outstanding paid no dividend, and
$904,436,200, or 16.90 per cent of funded
debt, exclusive of equipment trust ob-
ligations. paid no interest during the
year covered by the report. In no
other year since the organization of
the Division of Statistics has so large
a percentage of stock passed its divi-
dends, or, except in 1894, has so large a
percentage of funded debt defaulted
Its interest. Of the stock paying divi-
dends, 6.89 per cent of the total stock
outstanding paid from 4 to 5 per cent;
5.39 per cent of this stock paid from 5
to 6 per cent; 4.41 per cent paid from 6
to 7 per cent, and 3.99 per cent paid
from 7 to 8 per cent. The total amount
of dividends was $85,287,543, which
would be produced by an average rate
of 5.74 per cent on the amount of stack
on which some dividend was declared.
The amount of bonds paying no inter-
est was $624,702,293, or 13.41 per cent;
of miscellaneous obligations. $54,498,-
288, or 12.24 per cent; of income bonds,
$225,235,619, or 91.52 per cent.
A New York laborer, who certainly
should go down to posterity as a won-

his head on a large slab of rock. He
still lives, Is quite well In fact, and the
only injury he sustalued was a dislo-

Beems a startling outcome of such a

Is receiving gross gold for his services
to the enemies of labor—Mark Hanna,
H. C. Payne and the republican party.
In 1891 he wrote for the North Ameri-

Worklngman and Silver." Here are
some extracts therefrom:

can possibly be, since in earning a

owners of gold, silver was secretly and

tors and congressmen In 1873, when the

Why should any man, especially a

articles bought from Foreign coun-
tries will be doubled in price. Such
as CofTee, Tea and Sugar. Do you wish

Good Authority.
Mr. Davis, of Kansas—The president
rightly said that "the inexorable laws
of finance and trade" can not be defied
with impunity. So, having copied the
financial policy of England, Is it
strange that we must suffer the same
penalities? In 1865 the people of th«
United States emerged from the great-
est war of modern times. They had
*een successful. They had saved the
best government on earth. Money was
plenty, times were good, the nations;
debt was not large, and, as Individuals
we were "out of debt and prosperous.''
We felt as did the British people aftei
their great victory at Waterloo, and
the banishment of Napoleon. The
British system of contraction, inaugu-
rated here In 1866, began to tell on the
clearing house transactions in 1870. In
1873, the same policy struck down sil-
ver. This was at once followed by a
disastrous panic, distressing the entire
country, as had never before been wit-
nessed. According to Senator Logan,
It was a "money famine;" and it has
continued ever since with only tem-
porary abatements.
I have now shown the similarity ot
the British and American financial
policies instituted for the same gene*
ral purpdse, under similar conditions,

the demonetization clause. One states-
man has not denied a knowledge of the
act of treachery to the people—John
Sherman—and he is to-day the subject
of adverse criticism by nearly every
living man who sat with him in the
senate when that bill was adopted
without question, on his word that it
contained nothing that interfered with
the coinage of the silver dollar.

"Gold is the legal standard to-day be-
cause the bankers, brokers and gold
owners of the world influenced con-
gress to make it so. The people never
demanded it, never uttered a sentiment
that could be construed in favor of
monometallism, never petitioned con-
gress to pass such a law. It was done
when a bill with sixty-seven sections,
as long as the moral law, was under
dlBcusslon, and was passed through
congress without question, because
that body had faith in the honor of a
committee of three, of which Mr. Sher-
man was chairman. * * *
"THE TERM 'FREE AND UNLIM-
ITED COINAGE OF SILVER' IS
MISUNDERSTOOD. MANY BELIEVE
IT TO MEAN THAT EVERYTHING
IN THE SHAPE OF SILVER BUL-
LION AND OTHERWISE WILL AT
ONCE BE COINED IN UNLIMITED
QUANTITIES AND THROWN INTO

HAVE SILVER TO COIN WILL TAKE
IT TO THE MINT, AND ONLY
THOSE WHO EARN IT WILL.
OR SHOULD LEGALLY BE PER-
MITTED TO POSSESS IT. 'BUT
THEN THE FOREIGNERS WILL

CRY. IF A DOLLAR'S WORTH

OF SOME AMERICAN PRODUCT
WILL BE EXCHANGED FOR IT, UN-
LESS THE FOREIGNER IS RECK-

LION FOR NOTHING. IF HE DOES
WE ARE THE GAINERS. » • •
"The cry that 'we will have too much
money if silver Is remonetlzed and
made the equal of gold' Is unworthy of
consideration. No nation ever yet com-
plained of having too much money or
suffered through that cause. Hard
times an4 panics are due to contrac-
tions ,and not expansions, of the cur-
rency. Contraction of the currency is
not possible where the government
ltelf, acting under its constitutional
right, issues the currency directly to
the people without the Intervention of
individuals and corporations. • » •

President Ives raises the issue
squarely between the railroads and the
farmers.
The railroad corporations through
their stock jobbing departments, have
contracted large debts and made those
debts payable in gold.
Railroad charges being largely fixed
by law, the managers of these corpora-
tions are supporting the scarce money
policy, well knowing that scarce money
means dear money, and that dear
money means cheap prices for farm
products. President Ives opposes free-
silver coinage because he does not want
the price of flour and meats increased.
Those who advocate the election of
Mr. Bryan say that, while free coinage
»lll raise the price of flour and meat,
it, will also advance the price of every
other product of labor and benefit every
laborer in the land.
Free silver coinage will stimulate
business of all kinds, including the
railroad business, and more business
will necessitate the employment of
more men, and the increased demand
for men will bring with It an increase
>n wages. Which policy Is best for the
country? Which statement is the
more reasonable?

Mr. Speaker, the inexorable laws of
finance and trade cannot be defied with
impunity. We have copied England's
financial policy, and we have suffered
her disasters. We are still copying her
policy and also continue still reaping
the same results. It appears to be im-
possible for our public men to learn
anything from history, or even from
their own experiences, with the well-
known facts thrust into their very
faces.—(See Congressional Record, Fif-
ty-third congress, first session, August
