TOE TOLD silver the world over if he will begin it in every v.uy us wcic in by this bunKO steerer UNCLE SAM'S MILK CHECKS, Story of n.

Dnlry, Lead Mine, Lead Coin and of Some Qaeer People Who Wanted Ya(te Ileduced. There was once a dairyman who did large and prosperous business, lie was known and respected by a large community, and nearly all the people who knew him did business with him. do not know what his real name was, but they culled him Uncle Sam. At the early day when these things happened there was very little money, and people used bar Jend, bullets and tobacco for change. Finally Uncle Sam, who was a rather unusual character, read a passage in one of Aristotle's works in re gard to the invention of money, that "it was afterward determined in value by men putting a stamp on it in, order that it may save them the trouble of weighing So Uncle Sam built a stamping ma chine which would stamp out an Eng lish penny's worth of lead and was worth a pint of milk, as he was then selling milk.

Thee checks proved to be quite convenient. People found them all full weight, and Uncle Sam's workmen and servants took their pay in them. People also sold him, their cows for them, and Uncle Sam sold milk for them. Sometimes the people used the load coins for bullets and' for weights, but Uncle Sam idn't care very much. Although it did cost him something to coin them, he had passed them at their lead value.

In fact, Uncle Sam would exchange coins for bar lead. at any time, weight for weight, as amatter of public convenience. Some other people made coins in a mold occasionally, but people generally weighed them in order to find whether they were as heavy as Uncle Sam's coins. Uncle Sain said he didn't care how many coins they made, und he would take them himself if they were full weight. A lead mine as discovered not very far from Uncle Sam's, and lead went down in price to.fibout half what it had been, A great many people who had 9ome of Uncle Sam's lead began to wonder what he was going to do about the matter.

The cheeks were worth only a halfpenny now. They discovered that Uncle Sam was still receiving them for a penny's worth of milk and that he was continuing to pay them out to his workmen just as before. His business was enlarging, and he was stamping out these cheeks in larger numbers than ever. Teople sold him ha and cows for them at the some rate, for he hnd said that he intended to main tain the arity of his checks and the oennv. Feople didn use his checks for bullets now, for bar lead cost only half as much.

And Uncle Snm request ed his friends not to make any of these checks out of bar lead, for he didn like to accept halfpenny checks for a penny unless he had passed them off on the public for a penny worth ot laoor. The next thing of note that happened to Uncle Sam was this: The people who owned the lead mine heard about his scheme, and they got up a convention in order to see if something couldn't be done for lead. They wanted to g-et the good old prices. They proposed that Uncle Sam should com the whole out put of their mine free and let them cart away the checks, since they owned the lead. They tried to make Uncle Sam believe that this would double the price of lead and he could go right or.

doing business as ii nothing had happened. There was also some talk to the effect that people couldn't pay their debts unless they could get some cheap money to pay with. The working people were getting a penny a day, and many of them thought these lead pennies they were getting were too good and would buy too mucL at the stores. They joined the free coinage movement in order to get a cheap penny which would buy only half ns much as the present penny, with a view of restoring lend to its old price, so people could pay their debts in cheap money. They said they would trust to luck to get their wages doubled.

Some of the wiser ones shook their heads and said Uncle Sam certainly couldn't carry the whole lead output at twice its market value. They were confident that if he should attempt to do so the lead coins would soon pass at their junk valued This would upset credi ts and business and ruin the whole community.

C. A. Fronk, of Salem township, has entered the contest for county clerk ni less oil account of demand of friends than through his own desire. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1844 aud lived there until the war broke out, attending school and working on the farm. He promptly eulisted in the 9th Pa.

Cavalry and served gallantly until July, 1803. He resumed his studies after coming home from the army and theu worked at the carpenter traduuintil 1870 when lie came to Kansas, locating first at Ft.

He has taught school in differcLt portions of the country; has served the people of his township as trustee and gave good Mr Fronk has always been a republican ot the stead fast, stalwart kind. He is a man of uier it and well qualified for the position he seeks.

If nominated aud elected he will serve the people well aud faithfully. Henry Smith of Moran, the only can didate who is contesting with Mr. Fronk for the office of county clerk, was born in Clayton, about 42'yeai-s ago, Hi parents moved to Pennsylvania when he was a mure child, and remained theri until he was 22 years of age, when came to Kansas, slopping for a time at Atchison and then going out into Nor ton county where ho "proved up" on Government claim. In 1881 he camo to Allen county, going into tho mercantil business in Moran in which he has since been engaged. Ho is a wood-worke and carraige-iuaker by trade.

He wa educated at the High School of Latrobe and is well equipped to perform the duties of clerk. The esteem which he is held by his neighbors is shown by the fact that he was six year: the township clerk, six years as member of the school board, and three years on the city council. He has taken an act ive part in the Republican politics his township and has the confidence and regard of the party all over the county. P. A.

Interest Ilatea Are Lower In Gold Thau In Sliver Standard Countries. It will pay silverites who want cheap money that is, money ait low raiesof interest to study the rates of interest charged in gold and silver standard countries and to compare the average rates of interest on certain classes of loans in sound money states, which never favor repudiation, and in states which favor free coinage and which sometimes favor repudiation of debts.

It is difficult to get exact figures of interest rates in different sta tes and coun tries, but the statistics obtainable are not favorable for the farmer who votes for free silver with the expectation that it would enable him to borrow money at Jow rates of interest. According to the last census, the avetv age rate of interest on farm mortgages in 1S90 was 7.3G per cent. The rate has undoubtedly declined since then, except, perhaps, in certain states which are voting and legislating against capital. The rate is also higher than on most other classes of securities. It )s probable that the average rate of interest in this country is now considerable less than six per cent.

In England, France, Germany and many other gold standard countries it is undoubtedly less than five per cent. We haye, however, put the rate oil the barometer at eix per cent. In Mexico, Central and South American countries and in most ot her coun-tries on a silver basis the rates of interest will probably average more rather than less than ten per cent. Statistics on ordinary loans on farm mortgages are not available for comparison in these countries. Ferhaps the most available are those prepared by Prof.

Irving Fisher and published in August, 1896, by the American Economic association. These phowou-ly market or bank rates of interest in London, Berlin, JIM COUNTRES 'COUNTRIES' I3 12. 12- EC 5 Paris, New York, Calcutta, Tokio and Shanghai for a series of years, and of course these are far below the average rates. Prof. Fisher finds that the average bank rate of interest from 1875 to 1S79 was 3.8 per cent, in the four gold standard countries and 10.1 per cent, in the three silver standard countries.

In silver standard countries the rate had fallen but little, the average for 1870-4 being 10.7 per cent. In gold standard countries the rate "had fallen over 25 per or from 5.2 in 1870-4. These facts tend to show that there is some good reason why interest is lower in gold standard countries. They are confirmed by the further facts that many large loans and some small ones made in silver standard countries are made payable in gold and at rates of in terst far below those prevailing. One of the ajleged reasons why Japan has changed from a silver to a gold basis is to obtain lower rates of interest on loans which she wished to negotiate.

There is more in this subject of cheap money than some silverites dream of. The beet money is, in fact, the cheapest. If the borrower thinks otherwise, lot him have "his cheap money and pay the increased rates of interest charged for It, liyron W. Holt, Another mow for Silver. The Peruvian government in April suspended the coinage of silver and decided to prohibit its importation after May 10, It is probable that Peru wished to borrow money and that she could not do so while on a.
