Drake's freo silver speech last week which we will venture to say wa new to the farmers and the public generally : j Tho low price of wheat is the result of tho crime of '73. The farmer of India is & curious combination of ignorance and superstition and an obstinate observer of the customs of bis ancestors. One day, some time in the dietaut past before the crime of '73 had been committed, one of these Indians sold to an Englishman a bushel of wheat for export. lie re ceived therefor two and a half rupees in silver. He was pleased with his bar gain. So was the Englishman, aud the price of a bushel of wheat was estab lished at two and a half rupees silver. Now, with the Indian farmer, au estab lished price is an established price. He varies not one jot or tittlo from the cub torn of his fathers. He asks no more and will take no less. Now an ounce of silver will coin just two and a half ru pees. Therefore an ouncv of silver will buy a bushel of wheat. No matter what eilver may be worth whether fl.S'J or or only 65 cents per ounce, it is all the samo to him. He must hare his two and a half silver rupees or he keeps his wheat and ttio Englishman may starve for all he cares. Now, mark the cuteuess, r, rather, cussedne3S, of the Englishman. Ho plots to demonetize silver, and thus re duce its value so that he may buy the Indian farmors' wheat at half the price be formerly was force 1 to pay. This he accomplished by inducing the United States to commit the crime of ,73, anil divers other governments at various times to commit similar crimes agaiutt silver. Now this same blasted, bloody linglisman brings his ship to this coun try and instead of loadiu it down with wheat as formerly, fills it with silver bullion, takes it to his mmt and coins it into rues, loads it upon his ship again and exchanges it for the Indian farmers' wheal and sails back to Liverpool to feed the hungry but busily employed milt nd factory hands, while the American farmers' wheat rots in the warehouses and the idle aud unemployed American laborer starves. This, Mr. Drake assures us, is the cause of the low price ot wheat, and he further informs us that the remedy lies in restoring silver to free coinage. Then it will be worth L29 an ounce aa be fore, all over the world, and when the pesky Englishman his to pay that price for it, there will be no profit for him in the Indian wheat trade because of the obstinaucy of the farmer there, as afore said, in refusing to accept any price but the two and a half rupees for his bushel of wheat. Ergo, it will be cheaper for him to bty it of the American farmer at i 1.20 a bushel. Sccb line of reasoning .Mr. Drake kept up for nearly two hours, relieved oy an occasional anecdote. 11 is ai reasonable to believo that the Indian firmer is that kind of a mau as it is to believe that the American farmer cau be gulled by such preposterous stories. The Harrisons. New York, Sept. -J. (ieueral Ben jamin Harrison's heart is beating in uni son with the univerto these balmy fall day?, and Mrs. Beojamin'ilanison has joined the ranks of other celebrated American women with tibcin all woman kind feels a lively sympathy. Like the Dachessof Marlborough, Lady William Bereeford and Mrs. John Jacob Astor, her thoughts are dwelling in the quin tessence of delight upou those daintiest of dainty thingc those filmy laces and fluffy gowns in which tiny baby Harri son may soon nourish wee hands and feet and coo as it gazes on a s'. range, new and all-absorbing world. For several days the pleasing truth has been whispered. Nearly all of the ex-president's dote acquaintances are congratulating him quietly. At last has been learned the secret of General Har mon's independence of all political al lurements that bad once been bis chief enjoyment. He Las ehown a lofty ob livion to politics. Ho has even told tho republican maoagets who wanted him to make speeches that he would speak whero and when ho pleased, by which he meant no offense to any one, for 1 stanch and loyal in the pattv ' wauts McKinley eled- ' majority. It w ven'!- capturing Cuervo'rf insurgent camps and seizing Dorses, cattle, arms, munitions and medicine?. Tho commandant also captured 25 fishing smacks suspected as being in the service of filibusters. Cuervo, who retreated to the interior at tho head of the remnant of his forces, has been since attacked and routed by Spanish t rob pa near San Nicholas. The Herald's correspondent in Trint- dud says au important engagement oc- J curred at an old fort at Veguitas, where Quiutin I Baoderas' forces were in trenched. A .'-panish column under Colonel Lara attacked him ou the 23d instant.. After eight hours' fighting Banderas was forced to abandon his position, which was immediately occu pied by Laras' triumphant trooi. .Sev eral paciflcos were baDged or macheted by the rebels. The village of San Miguel del Tadrou, on tho road from Havana to Guines, was raided and burned by insurgents. Stores and residences were robbed and tha churches destroyed. Many pacifi cos, men, women and children, who had been stripped of their clothing or driven out doors into the rain and storm in their night clothes, reached (Juanaboca this morning at an early, hour seeking refuge. An English Syndicate's Offer. New Yobk, Sept. 2J. 'The Cuban junta has received an offer from an Eng lish syndicate of a loan of 40.000,000 for fOO.OOO.OOO payable in 20 years. Presi dent T. Estrado l'alma and the ether membere of.tbo junta held a coufetence ai soon as the offer was received. Talma was asked what action had been taken. "Wo have taken no decided action as yet," he said. "We have received a number of similar offers from bankers, who see that wo are almost certain to win, and we have them all under adviec ment. We will probably accept the belt terms, the offer of the English syndicate seems to call for a very large interest, but the fact that they may uover get it back must be considered. During the last year of the Mexicau war for inde pendence Mexican bonds sold for $2 50 on the hundred." I AftI A MINER. I labor down in the mins and bring up gold and silver for the mine-owners. I now get $3 a day. With it I can buy five ounces of silver that comes from the mines. Now, I will put it this way to make it plain. At present my day's wages are five ounces of silver bullion. Each day I bring up six ounces of sil ver from the earth; the mine-owner gives me five ounces of it for mv work and he keeps one ounce as a profit on my labor, inat is tco way it is now under the present gold standaid. Under the free silver law the mint ower takes the five ounces of silver, that was once my wages, and gets it coined into Eix silver doliart these be ing legal tender; he gives me three of them for my wages and keeps the othtr three as an extra profit over the ounce that used to be his profit. By this method the mine-owner has increased his profit of one ounce of silver to three and a half onces. Has this extra two and one-half ounces been taken from me? He says, "No, I still pay you three dollars." "But," I say, "I can now buy only two aud one-half ounces of bullion where under tho gold standard I could buy five ounces with mv dav's wages." The capitalist mine-owner says: "Under free silver your two and one-half ounces have become what fiye ounces were previously." I say, "Ac cording to that, you have increased your f profit the entire amount of what my ! wages once were; but let us see if m two and one-balf ounces will a" buy as much as the five ounces ' "When my wages were " could take it to Mexico buehela of wheat with bushel at Mexi--and at the earn bushels ef w' 00 cents, take r-Mr Coal tar and resin at Marstera'.
