There are ' some of the advocates of the free coinage of silver who contend that the demonetization of silver has been the cause of the de cline in the prices of farm products, and consequently of the depressed condition of agriculture in this coun try, while the opponents of free coin age contend that this has. had noth ing to do with it, but that prices are ' influenced by entirely different causes. - Both are partially right and both are partially wrong, because both look only on one line, and don't want to look outside of that for any other cause. The, free coinage man is right in j his assertion to the extent that when money is plentiful it is more easily earned and more freely spent, people as a rule live more generously, con sume more and are willing to pay more freely for what they want. The man who when money is bard to get would support a family on a thousand dollars a year, if money were plenti ful and more easily earned would spend fifteen hundred for the same purpose. Apply this rule propor tionately to the 12,500,000 families in the United States, and it means the consumption of a vast amount of the necessaries, not to speak of lux uries, the spending of a great deal more money than is spent when peo ple are compelled to economize, and consequently more liberal prices, be cause ot the greater demand. That's how the volume of the cur rency affects prices when there is no foreign demand and the producer is compelled to rely upon the home market. The anti-silver man loses sight of this fact when he contends that the sole cause has been over production, while the silver contest ants lose sight of overproduction altogether. The simple fact is that it was not overproduction nor too little money which caused low prices, but both together. This was and still is an agricultural country. Seventy-five per cent of her $1,000,000,000 of exports consists of products of the farm in some form. We raise more than there is an export demand for, which throws the producers back on the home market to dispose of the remainder, and ' this being usually more than the home market can con sume there is a surplus, which the dealer anticipating takes advantage of and makes his prices accordingly after figuring upon what he may be may bfxable to sell. Here the volume of; currency comes in again, for if money were abundant, business brisk as it would be with an abundance of money, the masses of people would be able to buy more and to pay more for what they bought, and the surplus would be smaller if there were any surplus at all. ' But the opponent oi silver coinage will say there has been no contrac tion of the currency, we have more silver coined and in circulation than we ever had, and this, therefore, can't be the cause. There fox been a contraction of the currency and a very material contraction, although (counting all the different kinds of money we now have in alleged cir culation) the per capita is larger than it was at any time previous, for there were at the close of the war and for some years after it, $1,000,000,000 of Government bonds which were used as money, which are not in existence now, because they have been re deemed and destroyed. They count the $500,000,000 of silver coin as a part of the currency, while the Treasury- of the United State absolutely ignores it and fe fuses to pay it. out in the redemption of demand notes presented, and the banks follow the example set by the Treasury, ignore it all they can, and use only as much of it as is necessa ry for But change. admitting that every dollar Ihey say is available (or circulation, there is still a practical contraction brought about - in another way, which is really more disastrous than an actual contraction of the volume of the currency would be, because it puts the control of the volume of money in the hands of a compara tively few men of one section and en riches them and their section while it impoverishes other sections which become tribute payers to the monop olizers of the money which they need. Let a small number of men have control of the volume of the curren cy, whether it be large or small, and they can and will manipulate it in their own interests, they can and will fix the rates of interest which bor rowers must pay for the use of that money when the lenders are not held in check by law, and they can and will fix the prices, of agricultural and other products which become sub jects of commerce or of speculation. Thus the people who live by their earnings suffer not only from the scar city of money, but from the unequal distribution of the money by which some lections have a large Surplus, while others are far from having enough to meet their current needs, and if they get it at all must get it from the monopolizers who, under the present monetary system, are absolute masters of the situation and monarchs of all they survey. While the free coinage of silver would in crease the volume of currency it would at the same time break up this monopoly and the people who have need of money would gain immensely by that. MI50R MENTION. The dispatches in reference to Yenezuela and Nicaragua are becom ing interesting, for they are begin ing to show up the motive which in spires England in her demands upon both of these countries. In the for mer it is greed for extension of terri torial possession, in the other it Is to threw' obstacles in the way of the building of the Nicaragua canal un der the control of the United States. When the Bluefields trouble began and England took so much interest in and gave such moral support to the Mosquito Indians, who had dis puted the jurisdiction of Nicaragua over what was called the reservation, we expressed the opinion that the Nicaragua canal was at the bottom of England's movements, and when she made her arbitrary and peremp tory demands upon Nicaragua for indemnity for insults to British dig nity and outrages upon British sub jects, we reiterated that opinion The dispatches . published yester day confirm the correctness of our views and show that they were not based on mere sus picion. "It is thought that the in timation of the cession of Corn Islands by Nicaragua in lieu of the money indemnity may be a shrewd device of Nicaragua to make this Government show its hand. It will not show its hand while the hinted at cession is a mere matter of talk, but if it should assume the shape of a business transaction there is not much doubt that it will show its band, a full hand, too, and both of them. This Government might just as well permit Great Britain to go in and take full possession of Nica ragua as permit her to get posses sion of territory, however small, which would give her command of the canal. She would be very well satisfied with Corn Islands instead of the money indemity, and would think she had made a splendid bargain, and knocked the ' bottom out of the Monroe doctrine beside. - at at The only object we can see in the publication of the Washington . re port that a bill had been prepared at the instance of a number of Repre sentatives in Congress and Senators, who are in sympathy with Cuba, which will be introduced at the next session of Congress, providing for the recognition of the insurgents as belligerents, is to keep up the hopes and the courage ot be insurgents to continue the fight, but whether It has this effect or not it will also have the effect of spurring up the Spanish Gov ernment and the Commander of the Spanish forces in Cuba to proceed with more vigor against the insur gents, to crush them before the movement can be started in Congress for the recognition of their bellig erency. If Cuba had this now Spain might as well withdraw from the field and acknowledge her indepen dence and save life and money, for with it the Cubans could command more men and money inside of thirty days than Spain could inside of thirty months. There are thousands of men in this country who would look on a campaign in Cuba as a pic nic. Spain knows this and this is one reason why talk of according belligerent recognition to the Cu bans will spur her up to more speedy and aggressive action. There is little doubt that the financial question will be the issue in the coming1 Presidential cam paign, but the tariff will figure, too, In an incidental Way. As far as any prospective" legislative Interfer ence with the present tariff is con cerned, save perhaps in the correc tion of errors or making clearer points which may be in doubt, there Is little probability of that for some time to come, but if the tariff should work well, if ; industries should con tinue to revive and grow under it and wages increase asT they- are doing now, and the revenues Jfrbm it meet the expectations of its friends, the Democratic campaigners 'and press will dwell - upon that as a vindication of -Democratic policy in tariff reform and of Democratic wisdom in the administration of the Government. But if, on the other hand, the Improvement in business be not indisputable, the revenues should continue small, and the Trea sury remain embarrassed, the Repub lican campaigners and press will ar raign the tariff as the cause of It, ring the; changes on thatr and de mand a return to what they will call the better and wiser Republican pro tection policy, so that in either event if the new tariff should be a success or a failure, it will figure largely in the next campaign. . CURRENT COMMENT. When a man is in favor of sil ver he says he is for silver, but when a man favors gold he says he tavors "sound" money. Why is it .that a champion of silver is not ashamed to say what be means, while the gold champion masquerades behind "hon est" money? Augusta Chronicle,Dem.

It is natural that Russia should not wish to see China surren der to Japan any territory on the Eastern Asian Continent, and it is likewise natural that France should svmoathize with Russia in this mat ter. In this emergency it is pleasant to see that England is atsposea- to lend support to Japan. This makes the situation in the East quite as in teresting as it has been at any time heretofore. N. Y.

Yen. may find it hard to believe that sandwiches made from boiled fish are good, but if when yon have a bit of boiled halibut left from dinner you make a few for luncheon or tea yon will find them very good. The fiah. should of course have the flavor that comes from boiling it in salted water with a bou quet of vegetables say a slice of onion. a stalk of celery or a sprig of parsley and half a dozen peppercorns. Break up the Hah with a fork; then take a wooden spoon and rnb it as fine as possible. Make it into a seasoned paste by adding a fourth of a pint of sweet cream, a tea- spoonful of salt, a saltspoonfnl of white pepper or paprika, and at the very last and gradually a tablespoonfnl of lemon juice. This amount of seasoning is for 1 pounds of fish. Cut your bread very thin, spread the slices with a little but ter and then with the fish. Lay between the slices before putting the two togeth er a Email, tender lettuce leaf. New York Post A Use For Hsvlf Burned Carbons. There is already a demand for the un used and half burned carbons from the aro lights. Some one has discovered that carbon is a cure for consumption, and it is a well known fact that men who work in carbon factories are singularly healthy. Just how the fragments of car bon are broken up and the particles in haled does not appear, but people collect them a good deal and profess to derive benefit from their use. It has been claimed for years that a smoky atmoa phere ia a good one for a consumptive patient, although this has been denied by doctors again and again. The carbon theory may account for what some peo ple believe to be nonsense and others an Infallible theory. St Louis Globe Democrat AbsentaUaded.

Th Drummer Hsvs Whole Bsvft of Msv- ehlnes and Trp. to Car For-Imlta. - tlon of and Other Sounds, and How Some of Them Are Accomplished. It would be an odd thing if . in these days of realism an orchestra could not keep up with the times in the produc tion of realistic effects. The peal of tubular-bells, once heard with so much wonderment. Is now too familiar to cre ate surprise, and equally well known is the anvil, the old friend met with so often in "II Trovatore" and many oth er popular opera and musical selections. Nowadays many theater orchestras possess quite a number of instruments whose names are probably unknown to 09 out of every 100 members of the au dience. In many theaters the musician who plays the drums also manipulates from 5 to 20 other instruments, most of which would be unrecognized by any other than the professional. Some of them are used for representing noises imada bv human beings; others are em ployed for reproducing fche "language of animals" . ana oi nature, jriajuu operated upon by an expert, the result is often very successful. A noted inventor of these adjuncts of the orchestra has made a remarkable in strument from which may be produced the "puff puff" of a locomotive. The contrivance from which this effect is obtained consists of a semicylinder of sheet iron about a yard in length. Two wooden handles, in each of whioh are set at different angles a dozen or more tempered steel wires somewhat resem bling a dismantled umbrella, are used to make the peculiar noise of the engine puffing. Holding one of these sets in the hand, the musician strikes the sheet of iron with each alternately, slowly at first and increasing in speed as the tram is supposed to get under headway. Then the train comes to a stop, when is heard the peculiar sound of the air' brakes and the escaping air. This effect is produced simply by using a couple of Blender brass tubes soldered together. with piston, blowing into them at one end and slowly pulling out tbe piston. If you want the roar of lions, there, is a musical instrument ready for yon to produce the roar. It is a large trumpet shaped instrument of sheet iron, in the large end of which, near tbe opening, are set two vibration tongues of titL Jt is played upon with a trombone mouth piece. One of the most curious musical in strum en ta is that used to represent the "swish swish" of a boat's screw as it whirls through the water. This is really a musical machine. It is an ordinary cheesebox fitted to an axis, on which it revolves, and the cylindrical part is made of calfskin. The ends are perfo rated so as to allow the sounds to escape in proper volume. Pegs project inward from the ends, and a handle and a quart or two of dried peas complete the outfit When the box is revolved, the peas strike against the pegs and roll along the dried calfskin hides. The revolutions are slow and irregu lar at first and then more rapid and steadier. Then yon get the "swish swiah" of the screw. A cock crow is a very easy noise to re produce. The instrument used is simply a wooden tube with a reed inside, the tube being inserted into the side of a tin cup. A "child's cry" is easily pro duced by taking out the wooden tube al ready referred to and blowing it, hold ing one end between your closed-hands to give the different tones. A "town dock," which produces a good imita tion of a bell striking the hour, is a large iron cylinder about 5 feet long and fl inches in diameter, the stroke being made with a smaller pipe covered with cloth. One musician has an excellent instrument which produces the "siren" note of the steamboat The noise is made upon three reeds, which are sim ilar in shape to an organ pipe. These are connected with one mouthpiece and give three tones simultaneously. The same musician has a curious in strument which he calls a "snoring ma chine." It is an oblong box, hollow, with a reed inside, and requires a pair of lusty lungs to operate it, as it takes considerable air pressure. The "gallop of a horse" is sometimes rendered by oocoanut shells cut in halves and struck upon a stone block. Another device to re produce the same effect is made of wood en blocks hewed into the shape of a horse's hoof, with real horsehoes attach ed and hollowed out inside the shoe. It is played by striking the shoes on a slab of stone. To imitate a clog dance "clog mal lets" are used. They are small wooden mallets, with one end of the head hol lowed, and "jingles" set inside the hol low spaces. A "cuckoo" is a small reed like instrument, with one key to change the note and a sliding piston to altar the pitch as desired. A fine imitation of the bagpipes is given on a solid brass horn, with tapering bore and finger holes similar to those of flageolet It is played upon with an oboe mouthpiece. As an example of the many instrn- xnenta required in an orchestra it may be interesting to reproduce a list of those played upon by the drummer is a well known American orchestra. They in clude the various styles of xylophones, drawing room bells, orchestra bells, carillons, "baby .cry," "bobwhite," cocoanuts to imitate the galloping of horses, clog mallets, canary whistles, ouokoos, crickets, "duck's qnack, " hen cackle, hand clogs, sand boards to imi tate jig dancing, "joy bird, " "locust, " "frog,", "mocking bird," "popgun," "robbin," "cocks," the "waldteufil" or "wood devil," making a weird, whirring noise; "slapsticks," to pro duce the sound of the cracking of a whip; hand bells, etc., in addition to the customary drums and cymbals usu ally played by this bumble but by no means unimportant member of the or chestra.
