A toetedo net constructed of inter locking' steel rings is soon to be pat to a practical test. The Italian army contains nearly two million men, or, to give the exact figures, 1,923,072. Among them are 35, 000 Alpine soldiers, trained and inured to the hardsliips of mountain warfare. Besides keeping dogs to watch over camps the German army is training them to hnnt for soldiers hidden in the woods and fields, so that after a battle the worinded might all be found and brought in. Gebmakt's new dispatch boat Meteor Is, excluding the torpedo boats, the fastest craft afloat. Her length is 203 feet, width 31 feet, draught 13 feet, with 950 tons displacement. Her engines de velop 5,000 horse power, and at full speed she goes 24 knots an hour. There are not enough graduates from West Point thisycar to fill the vacancies of commissioned officers in the regular army, and not enough applications to supply the required number of cadets for next year. It looks as if our young men were not embracing the military profession with very great ardor. SUMMER TOURISTS.

What would it be worth? Two cents a bushel? Hardly. With fifty years supply of baled cotton on hand, what would it be worth? The cost of storage and hauling would be but little less than the price. The stopping and lim iting of the coinage of silver have brought an ounce of it down from $1.29 to 07 cents.

The Quantitative Theory of Mocex The Ttalne or Each Dollar Depeada on the Xambcr of Dollars Oat. Thus by the universal competition to get it the valne of a dollar is made to depend upon the number of dollars that are out. This is a principle that lies at the very foundation of the science of money. The law, stated broadly, is that the value of each unit of money in any country at any given time de pends on the whole number of units in circulation in that country. The larger the number of units out, population re maining the same, the less must be the value of each unit; the smaller the number of units out, population re maining the same, the greater the value of each. Notwithstanding the variance some times found between the premises and the conclusions of economic writers, there is no economist of repute who does not admit this to be a fundamental principle. The true money standard of any coun try is not the material of which the money is made. The standard is not a concrete object, but a numerical rela tion. It is the relation between the number of units composing the mone tary circulation of the country and the numbers of the popnlation. It is the legal tender function that constitutes money. It is the power which the law imparts to any material to pay debts and liquidate obligations. It cannot for a moment be doubted that the money function, being conferred by MODERN JUGGERNAUT. stitute of government. Great Brit ain, a monarchy, in 1816 led off in the demonetization of silver. Un able to conquer America with lead and steel, she inaugurated that step while yet smarting with the lessons taught her by Decatur on the northern lakes and by Andrew Jackson and his southern braves at New Orleans; and stimulated to broader dreams of con quest by just having conquered France at Waterloo, she sought in 1816 to com plete the conquest of France, just as Germany thought to complete it after Sedan in later years. Ilut each time France has held up her silver buckler and fenced them off with her silver hilted. sword. Far reaching in her prevision of events. Great Britian sought by the the supreme authority, is the all-sufficient guarantee of the money value. There is no necessity for reinforcing that valne with any inferior value that may attach to the material on which the money stamp is placed. The money function is immeasurably the most im portant that can be conferred by society upon any material, and it is absurd to urge that that function is not of itself sufficient for the maintenance of the value of money. All the value that money can possibly have the totality of value that can exist in the shape of money in any crountry will attach to anything upon which the sovereign au thority stamps it, whether the material on which the stamp is placed be gold, silver, paper or anything else. Leg islators or execntive officers of the government, by increasing or de creasing the volume of money, corre spondingly decrease or increase the value of each unit of that money. For no matter how many or how few the units may be, the total value of the money of the country will be comprised within the total number of those units. A change in the number of the units effects a proportionate change in the value of each unit, and whatever the value of the unit may be, it is of the utmost importance that that valne should remain undisturbed. It is absurd to maintain that a gold unit, which, as time goes on, is con stantly increasing in purchasing power, is a better unit than a unit of any other material that maintains unchanging value through time. Whenever the business of the country accommodates itself to a given number of units, the only question for the gov ernment to deal with is to wmlftnin that valne as free from disturbance as possible; and according to all authori ties on political economy that can only be done by increasing or decreasing the number of units in circulation ia accordance with the demands of in creasing or decreasing population. If it be admitted, that one of the most important offices of government is to see that the equities are preserved be tween its citizens (and if this be not so, to what purpose are our courts of equity instituted?), then it cannot be denied that it is one of the highest offices of government to see that money, which measures all equities, and which mast for all time eoatame to be the principal measure in the service of ctr ilized society, shall he of -Tirhanginr. value.

Mr. Joseph Sampson, of Sioux City, delivered an address before the conven tion of Iowa bankers, which met ia that city recently, on the subject of silver, in the course of which he said: The maintenance ot American credit through a (Ingle standard ot value, which shall be recognized by all nations, seems not only desirable but necessary, because many ot onr greatest enterprises, giving employment to thousands of worklngmen. can secure capital at exceedingly low rates of Interest only so long as European lenders can feel secure that the same quantity and quality of money lent will be returned. TJiey lend us their gold only upon condition that gold of equal weight and Oneness sball bj repild. Only by International agree ments as to what may be considered Irgil tender in lieu thereof, can existing or faturt contracts be changed. This is briefly the position taken by the bankers and capitalists of the conn try and the politicians who draw theit inspirations from Wall street. If the United States must ever be subject in its financial policy to the colossal aggregation of usurers and rack renters that center .at Lombard street, London, the blood of our fathers will have been shed in vain. England is notoriously the creditor nation of the world; her usurers and landed lords have made of Erin a monument of pov erty and misery known of all the world, and the streets of London are wont tc resound with the tread of men, women and children marching and crying for "bread or blood!" Not content with the ruin wrought at home they are reach- wiles of commerce to accomplish what she had failed to do here by force of arms, and had but partially done abroad, and to-day, as the wheat of her myriad of Indian ryots takes the place of our American product in the Liverpool mar ket, she beholds the triumph of a policy which has narcotized American brains, corrupted American morals and im poverished American farmers. While some of our economists amuse ignorant readers by copying English phrases about "the best money," "the fixed and invariable value of gold," and talk scholastically about "intrinsic value," England gathers in her golden harvests, piles up her "cent per cent" and laughs in her sleeve at our ignorance and folly. Speech of Senator John W. Daniel, of Virginia, in U. S. Senate. ing out for all the nations of the earth; but the authority of their hereditary monarchs and rotten aristoc racy had been repudiated, force had been resorted to and ignominously failed, and some other method had to be devised to gain control over this proud republic That method was fonnrl in the single gold standard finan cial system, which by the aid of foreign gold and domestic traitors was fastened upon us. It is high time, indeed, for the new declaration of independence. Itut we quote again from Mr. Sampson: Peprecl itlon of our cum ncy by unlimited coinage of silver would be flm discerned by the rich who could arrange their affairs and investments so as to protect themselves Distraction, uncertainty and a panicky feel ing always gives to the shrewd and far sighted the largest opportunities for gain. The losers In such a period would be the w dowsand orphans, with Insurance policies paid at a discount of 1 1 to 20 per cent. : sav ings bank depositors, who put In bank gold wages and who must take back funds with reduced purchasing power; salaried em ployes and wage workers who could not get larger pay, but whose living expenses would be Increased. This is another typical argument of the opponents of free coinage of silver. The solicitude of these philanthropic bankers for the poor widows and orphans and salaried employes is very touching. As for themselves, unlimit ed coinage would only enlarge their "opportunities for gain," bat they are disinterestedly opposing it in the inter est of the "poor widows and orphans." Out upon such hypocrisy! The bankers have as much right to urge measures in their own interest as anybody, but they should come out like men and not fight like cowards over the shoulders of wid ows and orphans. The single standard is in the interest of bankers and other money loaners, and solely in their interest. Their in terests are not the interest of the wealth-producers, never were and never will be, and it is high time the American people were realizing it So long as congressmen, presidents and treasurers allow those who deal in money to dictate the course to he par sued in financial affairs, so long will' the wealth-producers be slaves to the wealth-absorbers.

In the Forum for June the Hon. Wil liam McAdoo, of New Jersey, discusses Immigration and the tariff. His view Is that a very high or substantially pro hibitory tariff in the United States is bound to force an immigration which is Inimical to American labor and con trary to the best interests of the whole country. There never was, is not now, and never will be, any reason for Europeans to migrate to the United States, except a desire to better their condition. It was news from across the seas of plenty of work and wages in America which started the streams of emigration to these shores. The thousands of foreign workers who are landing now come, as their predecessors came, because they can get more pay and more food for their day's labor than could be had at home. Aside from legislative restric tions there is but one way to dam the inflowing stream: Depress the stand ard of American wages and living, and beget among onr working people the degradation and hopelessness that is the lot of the European peasant, and you will be bothered no longer with unde sirable immigrants. But just so long as we continue to prosper, and no legis lative barriers exist, starving humanity will swarm to share in the bountiful banquet which is the heritage of the American workingman. The statistics of immigration show that every prosperous period in our his tory was marked by a rapidly swelling stream of immigration, while the peri ods of commercial disaster and stagnant industry invariably decreased its vol ume. The earliest figures at hand on immigration begin with 1821, a year within the period of depression which began in 1817. We find, therefore, im migration falling off, as will appear from the following table: AIJE3 PASSESCBBS AIIKIVED IS TOE CSITED STATES tJCniNG THE YEARS or i:DCSTIIIAL. OEPBESSIOS, 1SJ1-23. Ttar.

ISA If Mr. McAdoohas noticed a tendency in the immigration stream to swell in 1891, he can safely set it down as an un failing sign of increasing prospei ity. He need not be disturbed by the fact that nine months of the prescntyear showed a total of 310,237 immigrant, against 254,403 in the same period last year. The number for 1890 was small as com pared with former years abont fifty eight per cent, of the number for 1882, for instance although our larger pop ulation should enable us to assimilate a proportionally larger number. It is not at all probable that the total for this year will even approach the figures for 1881, 18S2 and 1SS3. Our argument is neither for nor against foreign immigration. Its bene fits may or may not be neutralized by the objectionable features it has as sumed in late years. But this we know: That when prosperity comes increased immigration Will come with it, unless Bhnt out by legislative enactment. Mr. McAdoo unfortunately neglected to look np the facts before placing in the mouth of his Austrian immigrant the statement that in his native land he ate our "wheat and pork." We sell al most no food products to Austria. The figures for last year show that we did not send a bushel of barley, rye or wheat, nor a pound of beef, nor flour, nor an ounce of pork in any form to the Austrians. The total of all our exports during the year to Austria-Hungary was only $945,703. The little island of San Domingo bought within 819,000 of that amount from us. We have been spending millions of dollars every year for Austrian goods Last year the amount so spent was 59,331,378, and the Austrian pearl-button worker has been spending it with other nations. We bring his industry over here and he follows It to teach onr own workers the art of pearl-button making. In New Jersey he will now be sure to eat American "wheat and pork."

" RECIPROCITY WITH BRAZIL. IKBsatUtto roorts Prodi nse. to BraxB ALarrrCat.rarsa acta Wktea Wul Caatttrao to lacrosse. That reciprocity with Brazil can benefit farmers is denied by free traders. The manufacturer will alone profit under the new commercial treaty, they say, and the abolition or reduction in duties on agricultural products is only a blind to the farmer, while the "robber mill owner" will reap all the advantage. Recent investigations by the department of agriculture show how devoid of foundation in fact this theory is. Taking as the basis of our calcula tion the actual exports to Brazil last year, we find that agricultural products receive nearly all the benefits of the new treaty. Our trade in non-agricultural articles which are affected by the change in duties is insignificant when compared with the amount of onr ex ports of farm products so affected. In other words, it is largely a farmer's treaty. We give below the tables from the May report of the statistician of the department of agriculture, which bring out these facts.

Fully three-fourths of southern democrats favor a protective tariff, and we believe the day is not far distant when they will all vote as they work. We trust all friends in North Carolina will make a special effort to attend the Asheville meeting and organize for protection. ACALL. NORTH CAROLINA PROTECTTVX TARIET LEAGUE.

Irrespective of former party afflUat'ona, respectfully requested to at tend and participate ia the organization of said meeting. Most respectfully submitted, J. C Prttchard, Chairman. J. M. MOQDT. Secretary. Iron Production aad Shipbuilding. When the tariff of 1846, cutting down the duty on pig iron from 99 per ton to SO per cent, ad valorem, was passed, our production of pig iron was very near that of Great Britain. That and the reduction of dnty to 24 per cent, ad1 valorem in 1857 held onr production of pig iron virtually stationary until 18C5. At that time England was making four tons, in round numbers, where we made one. Free traders, and some protectionists who have a vague idea of industrial af fairs, are fond of asserting' that we went out of shipbuilding because the great change from wood to iron aa a shipbuilding material occurred about this time. But if they will read an ar ticle by the distinguished engineer and naval architect, Horace See, in the cur rent number of the Engineering Maga zine, they will see that two shipbuild ers on the Delaware, Beaney & Neafie, now Neafie fc Levy, of Philadelphia, and Harlan & Hollingsworth, of Wil mington, commenced building iron ships in 1844. When a man is sick all sorts of nos trums are prescribed by those that don't know. So all sorts of reasons are given for our not building iron ships by those equally ignorant. The true rea son is that England has taken pains to control our supply of iron. It has been worth all it cost her. Tho QoesUoa of Aaaarieaa TIa as Belated to tho XaaaEsctui of Tin Plates. "For the last few years," says the TJtica Observer, "we have been reading glowing accounts of the abundance of ore our tin mines would produce some time or another. Our republican con temporaries have attempted to justify the tin plate taxation largely on this feeble possibility' or prediction." Pro tectionists justify the tariff on tin plate on grounds entirely independent of American tin. Whether American tin mines can produce a single pound of tin or not, we want a tariff on tin plates, for we know that we can pro duce those just as well as they can be produced ia Wales. We have the steel and iron which constitute 97 per cent, of the material used ia their maanfac ture, aad we eaa get the others per cent. the metallic tin just where En gland gets tt aad just as cheaply. For it is only a very small part of the me tallic tin ased oa the tin plates imported by as from Wales which comes from Britmh mines.
