Thero is one thing to be borne -in mind in studying the figures. That is, that the silver dollar has in this country the purchasing power of a gold dollar. Thus the $10 which the baker receives is equal to nearly $20 in Mexican money, and will purchase nearly 20 worth of food, clothing or anything else in Mexi co. This as against 7.60 which the Mexican receives. Remits Tell the Fncti. The New York World says it is not admitted that the Wilson tariff bill is a failure. Well, tho evidence is so ap parent that it is not necessary to admit. It can safely be said that no party in this or any other country ever made such a failure as the Democrats in the last four years. Thoy started out with the intention of showing the peoplo how the country should be run after having damned Republican methods. They had full possession of all branches of the government for tho first time since the war. At tho end of three years the treas ury was bankruDted, the revenuo hav ing been deficient almost every month of the life of tho tariff bill, and the na tion's funded debt was increased J202, 000,000. Thero were many other less important happenings, including the disruption of tho Democratic party it self, but they need not be introduced in evidence to prove the Wilson bill the most abject failure in modern legisla tion.

Kansas City Journal Kep.). WEJII WELL! That Meeting of the McKinley Club Last Night Was Simply a Killer for the Deluded Brethren of the Opposition. The Court Room Packed by Enthusiastic Republicans who Listen Attentively to Several Ringing Speeches by Local Orators. Monday night's assemblage of Re publicans at the meeting of tho Mc Kinley and Iiobart Club was repre sentative of tho best clement of citi zenship in the city and larger than, on any previous occasion. Tho court room was taxed to its utmost capacity and many who desired to do so wero unable to gain entrance. In the absence of President Grafton the Club was called to order by lion. C. S. Dana at 7:80 and tho meeting opened with a Bong by the newly or ganized glee club. Dr. John W. Simpson, who had been prevailed upon but a few hours previ ously to deliver an address, was intro duced by the presiding officer and re sponded with a ringing Republican sound money speech that was enthusi astically received and frequently in terrupted by generous applause, lie discussed the tariff and the financial issues in a clear and forcible manner and did not hesitate to characterize the tariff question as the most import ant now before the peoplo of the United States. At tho conclusion of his address, which oratorically was one of those gems for which Dr. Simp son is noted, he was extended a vote of thanks and invited to speak at a future meeting of the club. After another song by the Glee Club the Club entered upon tho regular busi ness of the meeting. The Committee on headquarters reported that thoy had been unable as yet to secure suit able quarters and the committee was continued to the next meeting. Prof. J. H. Chamberlain, R. C. Dawes and Prof. W. W. lioyd responded to re peated calls and delivered brief and forcible addresses. The Committee on Uniforms reported having selected a uniform consisting of white duck trousers, colored leggins, blue cape and "gold" hat. Samples and prices were displayed and upon motion those submitted by tho Diamond Pants Company, at 81.75 per man for the complete outfit, were adopted. Mr. C. R. Stevens was elected to the position of Drill Commander and D. V. Pickering was appointed a Committee to take orders for uniforms, after which the meeting adjourned.

Oil Fire at Slstorsvllle- SlSTEnSVILLE, W. Va Aug. 17th. At an early hour Sunday morning the citizens of this city were startled by a terriffic explosion, which shattered a large number of window panes on this side of the river. The scene of the explosion was at the Fisher Oil Co's. No. 8, on the Tull farm,, just across the Ohio. The boiler let go with terriffic force, setting fire to tho derrick and a tank containing 200 bar rels of oil. The ilames leaped high into the air and illuminated the whole country for a distance of five miles. No one injured. Loss about $3,000. Cause cannot be ascertained. Found on a Shanty Boat.

THE PIEST CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT. Fallacies of Free Silver ArcumenU Ex posed Should the Hopei of the Sllver ltea Prevail All Gold Would Leave the Country and the Currency Would He Greatly Dcpreolntod A Dliattroua Xanlo Would Enine. "Leaflot No. 1," entitled "Blxtoen to to Ono: What It Moans," bos been is sued by tho Republican national com mittee. It has the following extract from tho Democratic platform adoptod at Chicago at tho head of the first page : "Chicago platform of-1800 : Tho free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 10 to 1. Tho standard silver dollars shall bo a full legal tender equally with gold for all debts, public and private." Then following this comes tho expla nation : "Sixteen to one what it means. A silver dollar weighs sixteen times as much as a gold dollar. This is what is meant by the coinage of silyer at the ratio of 10 to 1. 'Free coinago of silver : When brought to tho mint silver shall be coined into .dollars at tho expense of tho United States government without cost to the owner. By the unlimited coinage of silver is meant that all the silver, Amer ican or foreign, brought to any of our mints, shall be so coined at the owner's demand. This is what is meant by the froe and unlimited coinage of silver. "When the ratio of 10 to 1 was estab lished by tho government, sixteen ounces of silver bullion was worth in tho mar ket lust as much aa one ounco of gold bullion. A silver dollar and a gold dollar were then worth precisely the same, before they wero coined, when they were coined, or after thoy were melted ; the face value of a silver dol lar was its actual value. But of late years pure silver has declined in value, so that now the commercial ratio, in stead of being 10 to 1, is about 31 to 1. That is to say, an ounce of gold bullion is exchangeable for thirty-ono ounces of silver bullion, instead of being changeable for only sixteen ounces of silver bullion, as it formerly was. Sil ver bullion is thus worth in gold only about half as much as it was when tho coinage ratio was made 10 to 1. "A silver dollar with tho stamp of the government upon it passes for more than it is worth, just as a paper dollar passes for more than the paper upon which it is printed is worth. Tho cred it of the government is behind (ha paper dollar, and the credit of tho gov ernment is behind the silver dollar. But the credit of the government is not behind the uncoined silver, in the form of bullion, therefore the bullion is ex changeable for other commodities only to the amount of its actual or intrinsic value. Free and unlimited coinago of silver at tho ratio of 10 to 1 means, therefore, that the government of the United States, instead of pledging its credit for tho limited amount of silver, now worth only 81 to 1, at a parity with gold, would have to do so for an unlimited amount at a ratio of 10 to 1. By this the United States would undertake to double tho value of every ounce of silver, coined or uncoined, in the world, and extend an invitation to all tho nations to send their rurplus silver here to bo coined into silver dollars at tho ratio of 10 to 1. "These silver dollars, if coined in an unlimited quantity, would not be worth as much as gold dollars, because it is the credit of the government which makes those wo now have equal in pur chasing power to a gold dollar, and the credit of the government is not without limit. 'Unlimited' coinage of silver would exhaust its credit by exhausting its power to redeem its pledges to main tain silver at a parity with gold at a ra tio of 10 to 1. The consequence would bo that the silver dollar would soon de cline in purchasing power to the com mercial value of tho bullion it contains, and would be worth little, if any more, than half a dollar in gold. "As all private ana public debts not explicitly payable in gold would then be payable in these half-rate dollars, our gold would disappear from circulation and would quickly bo drawn out of tho country in paying our obligations and purchases from gold-using countries where our silver coins would not be ac cepted. As a consequence wo should in a few months lose all of our $613,000,000 of gold, leaving us with a much con tracted and greatly depreciated cur rency. "A disastrous panio would onsue, fol lowed by the suspension of thousands of factories and business houses, a gen eral business collapse, and the loss of employment by hundreds of thousands of wage-earners and laborers." A Good Object Lesson. The Ohio St'ato Journal uses a good object lesson by offering to all who will send them an American dollar to send the semi -weekly Journal for six months and give a Mexican dollar as change, though the Mexican dollar contains sov eral more grains of silver than does the American dnUsr.

Tho Buchanan Milling company of Niles, Mich., announces that it will pay to every fa-mer who sells wheat in lota of 600 bushels or over, one Mexican dol lar per bushel. The manager explains that tho company would tako small lots of wheat on tho, same basis were it not for tho expense and trouble of shipping in Mexican dollars in small amounts. If wheat holders will olub together and sell in lots of 1,000 bushels the company will make the seller a present of two good American dollars for each 1,000 bushels delivered to it. The Mexican dollars contain more silver than tho American dollars, and for the farmer to realize $1 per bushel for his wheat all that is necessary to do, it is claimed, is to store the Mexican dollar until free silver wins, should that event como, and then get them coined by tho gov ernment. The offer is being taken up by many farmers in Berrien county, Mich. Wheat Versu Money. In 1867 the price of wheat ranged from 11.55 to $2.85 per bushel, and the nor capita circulation of money in the United States was $18.23. In 1877 ttio price of wheat ranged from $1.01 to $1.76 per bushel and tho per capita circulation of money was $15.58. In lh87 the price of wheat ranged from 66 cents to 01 cents per bushel and the per capita circulation of money was $2'J.4n. In 1894 the prico of wheat ranged be- tween 50 cents and 65 cents per bushel and the per capita circulation of money was $34.80. , If more money is all that is needed to insure a better price for wheat, will somo of the Bryanite school of poli ticians bring their ponderous intellects to boar upon these figures and explain how it is that wheat commanded threo times more money when the per capita' circulation was from $15 and $18 than it does now when the per capita circula tion is about 823?
