upon an island How they reached the island we will not now stop to enquire wheth ¬ er by shipwreck or by voluntary ssttle ment Their united labor produced all the wealth enjoyed by the inhabitants of the Island All hands being employed In useful labor a reasonable drgree of cointort and happness But at length two of the men Stephen and John shrewder and more cunning than the others persuaded the inhab Hants of the island to adopt ad their med- ¬ ium of exchange a certain yellow metal which they discovered on their part of the land They convinced their brethren that this yellow metal was an honest and stable measure of values and Anally in- ¬ duced them to adopt it as their standard From thid time forward John and Steph- ¬ en loaned Ihs yellow metal to the people They were to return 110 pieces for every 100 borrowed and they pledged their houses and lands as security for the loan John and Stephen employed a clerk to do their writing and recording of pledges or them and pursued their Investlga tions along the lines of securing even if pos ible a still more sife and stable medium of exchange for the people From the day that they got the inhab- ¬ itants of the island to adopt as their medium of exchange their yellow metal they received besides the products of their own labor one tenth of all the prod ucts of the labor of the other ninety eight families or es much of the good tilings of life as any oiherten families on U19 island John and Stephen were doing now two onchundredths 61 the la- ¬ bor and receiving of the wealth produced Different par- ¬ ties began to compliment them for their businetB capacity foresight and good management John and Stephen were not satiefled liowever with what they had done for the people They continued to meet each other frequently to talk oer wajs and means of perfecting the peoples medium of exchange At laBt John hit upon a scheme to advance the interest ofthepropb materially and as he said to them in public meetings give them as sound and stable a circulating medium as it wrs possible or tie ingenuity of man to devise lie end Stephen dis-¬ cussed the matter at great length and finally decided to recommend their scheme to the people In brief they decided that the people did not really care to uctually handle their jellow pieces of metil all they could demand was that the yellow pieces should bu safe in Join and Steph ¬ ens keeping when wanted They de¬ cided to write p eccs of papc r promising to dellvi r to tlvi holder of t le paper as many pieces oi yellow natal as were iiamud on the paper whenever the paper should be pretentid to thim at their chests and lend Jlietutothe people In ¬ stead of rial places cf in t til Stephen t xptaiued to th island rs ai length the heauths and amaiitagej of the new sys tem Tut piipi ret rufuates anuld be far more couyeului tfor llit people to handle in their businus and piuce the popula- ¬ tion of the Islaid was growing and busi ¬ ness increasing they w uld uted a lager Volume of circulating medium than their limited uumbei of pieces of yellow metal would supply Accordingly they would issue three piect s of paper forevety piece of metal they had in their sife While tho paper was far more convenient and to long as they knew the metal was there for them whenever they presented their paper and demanded it why they would never present tboir paper for redemption They said this was the crowning glory of their system So long as the metal re B3rve w as main alned In their vaults confidence would be preserved and so long as confidence rtmaiued undisturbed bus inels and trade would go on without dis- ¬ turbance They would utilize their augmented capital in developing the re ¬ sources of tho island and opening up new opportunities for employment Tiie new and improved system of finance was submitted to the inhabitants for their approval and needless to say Only was adoptee by a large majority two nen Edward and Henry had the temerity to yote sgainBt the improved system t

- - faua DECEMBER 23 1896 Mongrel Jtaee Hot While the Cuban question in most of Its details lias been thoroughly dis cussed thero is ono feature of the situa ¬ tion to which little or no prominence has been given And that is tho character ol tho population With respect to the Cubans there ex ¬ ist in the public mind quite a variety of ideas It is urged by thess who sympa ¬ thize with the Spanish government that Cuba is wholly unfit to govern herself on account of the prominence of negro Tho prevailing blood on tho island opinion in this country even among those who are friendly to tho insurgents Ecems to bo that a majority of tjie na tives aro mixed breeds who While there are some of coins fall under this liead the number is small When compared to the total pop ulation of tho island and scarcely amounts to u fraction From the latest official returns tho white inhabitants number about 1100 000 whllo the colored population includ- ¬ ing negroes Indians and mixed breeds Theso figures is only about 489000 clearly show that pure Spanish blood predominates on the islaud and that Cuba is just as capable of as the haughty kingdom of Spain itself f tlll another falso impression in re gard to Cuba is expressed in the charge that its population is criminal and un- ¬ ruly So far as the records throw any light upon this suljct nearly all the crimes committed on the island are traced to residents of foreign birth and not to native Cubans either white or ¬ ¬ ¬ 03teLdKmNBiiDaK nk qhoVKRpotS ky Breckenridge News WEDNESDAY The Dfngley Bill From Th American Frme l Last year the Republicans in the House of Representatives did what was thought to be tho very beet thing to meet tho alarming deficiency in the National revenues Recognizing their poworlcssncse to undo the evil work of the Wilson Iniquity and the urgent need of immediato relief of the Treasury thoy passed the Dlngley Bill which they hoped would commend itself to the Democrats and the President as being simply an amendment to the Wilson Mil and strictly on its lines to provide for such an increase of revenue as would savo the country from further increaso of debt and more bonds They made it strictly an emergency measuro and limit-¬ ed its oporation to two years one of which is now gone The bill restored wool and some other articles to tho dutiable list nt eix tentliB the duty imposed by the McKinley Bill and made a general advance of 15 per cent on all the other duties on the list of the Wilson Tariff This was a very small advance For cxamplebay which paid a duty of 1 a ton under the Mc KInley law and was cut down to 2 by Wilson would pay 2 30 The other rates in the Agricultural Schedule would have been changed as follows McKinley Horses and mules each 0 Co Cattle each 10 oo Sheep

this might bring as much as 50000000 increase of revenue and that it should receive unques- ¬ tioned support from all parties But the ¬ It pc I Democrats in the House voted against it and when it went to the Senato tho Finance Committee having a large Free Silver majority struck out every- ¬ thing after the enacting clause all revenue provisions of every kind and substituted a Free Coinage bill The Free Silver republicans led by Senator Teller and aided by the Democratsstub bornly refused to let it come before the Senate until a freo Coinage Bill wns passed Senator Morrill made two de- ¬ termined efforts in February last to get the original bill before the Senate The first effort was defeated by a vote of twenty nine to twenty one and the second by thirty three to twenty two Tills is its legislative status to day It is in the hands of the Finance Committee but a majority of the Senate can at any time order it reported back take it up and pass it This should bo done but whether the minds of tho Free Silyer Its publican Senators have been changed any by the election remains to be seen As wo said at tho time their conduct in defeating its consideration last February was simply inexcusable They sacrificed the interests oi their wool growing and farm er constitutents and became accompli- ¬ ces in plunging the country deeper into debt without in tho least aiding their main hobby Opposition has been expressed to the Diugley Bill on the ground that it recognizes and attempts to amend an inher ¬ ently vicious measure Fear is express ed that if it is adopted it will prevent tho passage of a wisely matured equita ble Tariff such as the country demands shall supersede the Wilson Iniquity These objections are not well taken The Dlngley Bill Is expressly limited in its operations to a year from now which will give time to prepare another bill As to the recognition of the Wilson monstrosity that is mere quibbling We have the Wilson Tariff and must endure it until anothei is substituted Until then let us minlmlzs its hurtfulness as far as possible There is no telling when we can get another bill It took two years to pass tho McKinley Bill It will be three months beforo 1resldent McKinley is inaugurated If ho should call an extra session at once the bill could not possibly go into operation beforo Midsummer In the meanwhile the Treasury will continue to run behind millions of dollars every montband anticipating tho higher tariff foreigners would fill our bonded warehouses with goods and with wool which without increasing our revenue would take work and wages away from our peoplo ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ Tho only respect in which the Cubans are deficient is in educational facilities Common schools have made but litto progress in Cuba for tho simple reason that Spain has done every thing in her power to prevent the growth of intelligence While the statement Is a harsh one to make it is never the less true The idea of the home government in alopting such a barbarous policy is no doubt explained by the fact that slavory can bo best promoted in a condition of ignorance Spanish rule in Cuba has and thero is always been oppressive every reason to believe that the govern ment has stilled education for the pur- ¬ pose of maintaining its supremacy over tho island Instead of accomplishing Its purpose however this policy of keeping the Cubans In ignorance has failed and Spiin is now grievousy aware of her mistake Had she treated tho Cubans with only decent respect instead of reducing them to a stato of abject dependence and ser- ¬ vitude tho fires of revolution woud never have been kindled on the island and its fertile soil now drenched with blood would be today luxdrant with thj smile of peaeo Atlanta Constitution ¬ ¬ I am 87 years old and have

continues to go up and will continue to do so for some time yet The best estimates put the actual needs of Europe at 300000000 bushels with not more than 330000000 bushels any- ¬ where In sight This makes the United States once more the arbiter of the market Russia Australia and India are exhausted The latter two must buy great quantities of wheat instead of sll ing The only hope of Europe before the next crop comes in is from Argen- ¬ tine which being south of the equator is now harvesting The burning ques- ¬ tion Is hnw much she will be able to supply with the general belief that it will not be more than half her annual crop or about 5000000 bushels If this prove true wheat will take a jump The lessening amount of our own wheat coming forward greatly strengthens the advance in prices It shows that our supply is limited so that a considerable rise does not tempt our farmers to part with their grain We think they are justified in expecting that it will go con ¬ siderably higher yet
