As our reader- are aware, the Titim xi: has devoted considerable space at all ( times to articles pertaining to the pro- ; duction of coal. Among those most re- j cently given in these columns were t several (hat were extracts from articles j published in the Bond Record, of New j York city, as was stated at the times i they appeared in the Tmm xi:. These 1 articles, when published in the Bond 1 Record, attracted general attention • among all classes who are interested in coal. They were pronounced accurate 1 by those who are versed upon the sub ject. and their author, Mr. Griffiths. re ceived many deserve I compliments for , his painstaking work. The readers of the Tmm \K have had placed before them in previous issues of this paper the, most salient facts and < figures contained in the Bond. Record's < articles. One of these, in which the estimated amount of uninined coal con trolled by the several carrying roads was given in percentage and in tons, caused considerable local comment, and in order to give our readers an opportunity to obtain a more lasting impression of the figures therein presented, we have secured from the Bond Record the use of a diagram with which Mr. Griffiths' most notable article was illustrated. This diagram appears on the fourth page of today's TIUHIM:. and in addition some of the figures published by lissome time ago are reprinted with it. r l'lii> diagram conveys to the mind more vivid ly the proportion of unuiiued coal which is controlled by each road than an) other plan we know of. Miners and others interested in coal production will do well to retain a copy of this issue, as the diagram is known to he correct and will prove valuable) in many ways to all who make a study of coal. The Itieycle ;i Folitic.ll l'ower. ' From the Review of Reviews. Nowadays the world may easily be 1 divided into people who wheel and \ people who do not, and the former class , seem to hold the balance of power, puss- i essing as they do the solidarity due to ' this single enthusiasm. The bicycle ' has become a power in economics and politics. Jts association, the League of ' American Wheelman, successful!) j lights the great railroads and is heark- I ened to by municipal and state legis- 1 latures. When tin* wheelmen of ('hi ' cago wanted to visit a far Western meet they insisted that their fares should be , at one-half price, and the railroads were i terrorized into submission by the threat i of having 150,000 wheel men sol id I) 1 arrayed against them. The transportation lines in man) states have been forced to do away with i express charges on bicycles and treat them as checkable baggage. In sever al localities the local bicycle associations ' have decided that owners of wheels ought to ho generally taxed £1 a head for the sake of obtaining better cycling roads, and forthwith the legislative powers bowed before them. In New York city the street sprinkling carts made uncomfortable riding, and an ordinance was at once obtained ob liging the water-cart drivers to leave a strip of unsprinkled asphalt three feet wide next to each curbing. Legislators are busy with expert testimony on the question of the danger of carrying small children on bicycles handle-bars. Holiert Will Weaken the Ticket. The more that becomes known about Ilobart the more Republican dissatis faction there is expressed at his selection by llanua for the second place on the ticket. At first it was thought that bis obscurity woiild-cause him to be accept ed without protest by the rank and file of the Republican party, but since the newspapers of the country have been throwing their searchlight upon Ilo bart. \s record then 1 is a regular Republi can bowl all along the line. They may not bo able to force him oIF the ticket, but it is certain that had they known as much at St. Louis as they do now that I the Rlaiue. Republicans in that conven- j tion wouid never have allowed Garret i Ilobart to lie nominated for vice presi dent, and it is doubtful whether llanua would have asked such a thing of the convention had lie known that ilobart ' not only bolted the nomination of Rlaiue in the issi campaign, hut furnished a considerable part of the money to pay the campaign expenses of Ren Rutlcr. ! whose running was a factor in the elev- I ion of Mr. Cleveland. The Rlaiue Republicans were not an) too well disposed towards Mclvinloy any way, and, now that tliey know the part played by Ilobart in keeping their idol out of the White House, nobody need be j surprised if thousands of them knife the j whole ticket in November. DEATH OF MINISTER YOUNG. Expired in a Now York HoHpitul After a Fortnight'* Illness. New York, July 7. —Gen. P. M. B. Young, United States minister to Guatemala, who had been sick in the Presbyterian hospital for a fortnight, died yesterday of Ilright's disease. lie reached New York from Guatemala two weeks ago on a leave of absence, and went to the hospital at once for treatment. The body was shipped to Cartersville, Ga., last night. (Jen. Young was born in Spartans burg, S. C., Nov. 15, 1859, and was edu cated at the military institute iu that state. He began the study of law and then entered the military academy at West Point in 1857. Within two j months of the time of his graduation j lie resigned on account of the secession and joined the confederate army as a second lieutenant. He was successive- j ly promoted through all the grades to j that of major-general on Dec. 12, 1804, j having command of a cavalry division, j After the war Gen. Young went to Cartersville to live, and was the only democrat elected to congress when : representation was restored under the reconstruction act, taking his seat July 25,1808. and being re-elected for ' three successive terms, serving until March 3, 1875. In 1877 he was ap pointed ono of the commissioners from j the United States to the World's fair in St. Petersburg, and in 1885 was ap pointed consul-general at that place during Cleveland's first term, serving but one year, owing to the severe cli mate. He returned to this country and went to Cartersville to live, where he remained until he was appointed minister to Guatemala. New York Republican Committor. New York, July 7. —The republican state committee will meet this after noon at the Fifth Avenue hotel, when the date for the state convention will be set, at which the candidates for gov ernor, lieutenant-governor and judge of the court of appeals will be named. Saratoga will be the convention town. There is no opposition to that, anl the time will, in all likelihood, be the lat ter part of August, 25 or 27. There has been some talk of an early date in Sep tember, but August has the call. To Hoy Forest I.amlfl. Albany, July 7. —The issue of 81,- JOO ono in bonds by the state to pur •liase additional lands in the Adiron- Jack region within the confines of the state park is to be vigorously advo cated by the state, fisheries, game and forest commission.

From the Hoiul Record, June, 1800. The Bond Record is intended primarily for persons and corporations having money invested or to invest. The in vestor too often is influenced by preju dice. or sentiment or fashion, and all too rarely by exact knowledge. It is the aim of the Bond Record to reduce to a science the investment of money. We place at the service of our readers the results of expert work by law yers. engineers, accountants and by practical men engaged iu the actual business of the. various transportation, manufacturing, distributing and mining corporations. The services of such experts are obtainable only at large expense, therefore they may lie availed of by investors only by mutual co-opera tion. Frequently a thorough investiga tion of some one corporation or Indus-1 try, and an intelligible presentation of the facts disclosed by such examination, involves an expenditure of several thou sand dollars. Examples in point are the Bond Record's studies of the Raltimore and Ohio Railroad in the December, 1895, number, and of the anthracite coal industry begun in the February, ls'.ii). number and concluded in the June! number. Investors who have carefully noted the information contained iu the Bond Record from month to month have been enabled to correct errors by disposing of investments injudiciously made, in many instances saving a large amount of their j investment. Others have been prevent ed from sacrificing investments, and -till others have been enabled to make investments in securities absolutely good but temporarily discredited which have, since they were first brought to notice by the llmid Record , made marked advances in market value. The high standard which lias charac terized the Bond Record in the past will lie maintained hereafter and no effort will be spared to make it the authority ui corporate securities. With this end in view, our entire energies will he de voted to expert, scientific dissection of the reports of public corporations and to the presentation to our readers, in plain language, of the results of the work. We do not hesitate to claim that serious mistakes in the investment of money can be absolutely avoided by in variably consulting the columns of the Bond Rcord before investing. To facili tate quick reference an index of ail cor porations whose affairs have been re viewed in the current volume will bo published in each number, and at the close of the year there will be published an elaborate analytical index, of every public corporation and of every corpo rate security. The Bond Record will continue to pub lish articles from the pens of the ablest thinkers of the age upon currency and ! banking, government finances, and cor . porate problems, and will in the future give considerable attention to municipal ■ finances and government. From time to time we shall publish reviews of im portant hooks on economics, also tran scripts of papers of value appearing iu the journals of learned societies. These papers are frequently of the first, impor tance lint they rarely come to the notice of any outside the circle of the societies' members. It is the intention of tin* publishers of 1 lie Bond Record to spare no effort or ex- I ion so in making it the leading authority • iu its field. YALE MEN HOPEFUL Trial Hoata for Grand Challenge Cup at Henley To-day, LEANDERS ARE THE FAVORITES Ell's Sons Must Win the First Heat or Buffer Defeat—"Hob" Cook Not Over - Sanguine of Victory. nenley-on-Thames, July 7.—This af ternoon will witness the trial heats for the Grand Challenge cup, and all the crows who will participate therein are on the anxious scat this morning. The new boat of tho Yuleerew has not proved at all satisfactory to the men, and yesterday it gave out twice, ne cessitating the stopping of rowing un til it could be repaired. This boat, which is made of paper, is sixty feet in length and twenty-four inches wide amidships. It does not meet the ap proval of English oarsmen, who claim that it does not begin to have tho ri gidity of an English-built cedar boat, and that it is affected with structural weakness. The Yale crew ure in tho best possible condition. Dr. McDowell regards Hon. Rupert Guinness, the present holder of the Diamond sculls, and Vivian Nickalls as the most for midable of his competitors in the Diamond scull contest. He thinks that if he has the lead to tho Faw ley Court boat house he will win. The town is crowded with visitors from all parts of tho country, and there are also many foreigners, especi ally Americans, waiting to see the races. The hotels and boarding houses are filled to overflowing, anil the Henley tradesmen and others are reap ing a bountiful harvest. The course is lined with houseboats, barges and pleasure craft of every description. The starts of the Lcander crew ure fine and will give them an immediate advantage. The representative of the United Press last night had an inter view with Bob Cook regarding the geueral situation, lie said that if the Yale crew won the first heat they would win the cup. He expected, how ever, that they would be beaten at the start, as starting was the Leanders' strong point. He added that Yale would row to the finish whatever hap pened. He had confidence in the staying power of the men. He does not expect that the Lcander crew will full off on the second half of the course, as they have rowed the second half as fast as the first half. Mr. Cook is not as san guine of winning as ure the Yule crew. He intimated that he would not be surprised if the Leanders won. He said the American crew would not row above forty strokes per minute, while he believed that the Leanders would pull up to forty-three strokes. SATOLLI'S SUCCESSOR. No Importance Attached to tho Report of lliiihop Fa Iconic'* Appolutnieut. Washington, July 7.—No importance is attached at tho papal legation to the report from Rome that Bishop Falco nio will replace Cardinal Satolli as the papal delegate at Washington. No information, official or otherwise, has been received to that effect, and the report is thought to have no better foundation than is to be found in tho circumstances that Falconio has lived In tho United States and speaks the language with a certain proficiency. Cardinal Satolli will not return to Rome until his sueeesor has been up pointed and confirmed in his new dig nity. It is regarded as unlikely that the pope will make tho appointment before September next, inasmuch as it is not desirable that the change should he made during the heated term, but later in the autumn and upon the ap proach of cooler weather. JOHN BROWN'S GRAVE. To lie the Scene of a Flay; liaising on July 21—No Formal On! tiering. Albauy, Jul)' 7.—The state fisheries, game aud forest commission, at a meeting in this city, decided to have a Hug raising on July 21 ut the grave of John Brown on the John Brown tract in Essex county, recently presented to the state by an association of patri otic New Yorkers, of which Henry Clews is president. The commission will attend, and the members of Mr. Clews' association will bo invited, but there will be no formal gathering or attempt at display. Speeches will be made by State Excise Commissioner Lyman, who presents tho Hag for the occasion, and by Gen. Merritt of Potsdam. New York Civil Service Appointments. Albany, July 7. —The following civil service appointments havo been made: W. H. Jordan, as director of the agri cultural experimental station at Geneva, in place of Peter Collier; sal ary, $4,0C0.

Trenton, July 7.—The court of ■errors by unanimous vote has reversed the action of Vice-Chancellor Bird in granting an injunction to tho Pennsyl vania Railroad company restraining the United States Fipe Line company from laying its oil pipes under tho •ompany's tracks near Phil lips burg. Fliis decision removes the principal Jisiaele in the way of the pipe liue caching tide-water. Stanley's Condition.

It is disputed that the language of the constitution authorizing the gen eral government to "coin money" and to regulate its value applies to paper. It is well to be right in this matter, and I appeal to the writers contemporary with the constitution and to the very highest authorities to prove that tho words "coining money" apply to both metal and paper and to one as truly us to the other. Webster's Dictionary says that the word "coin" means to "stamp," and that tho act of stamping may apply to either metal or paper. Dr. Franklin, discussing the question of trade and in dustry, said: "Moreover, as incontest able advantages of paper, wo must add that the charge of coining or making it is by no means proportionate to that of coining of metals. Nor is it subject to waste by long use or impaired by adul teration, sweating or tiling." Napoleon Bonaparte, writing from Boulogne Sept- 24, 1805, said: "The evil originates in the bank having transgressed the law. What has the law done? It has given the privilege of coin ing money in the form of paper to a particular company. In a word, in dis counting after this manner the bank is coining false money." Professor Jevons, discussing tho sub ject of bank notes, says: "According to the view I adopt, the issue of notes is more analogous to the; royal function of coinage than to tho ordinary commer cial operation of drawing bills. Wo ought to talk of coining notes, as John Law did, for, though the design is im pressed on paper instead of metal, tho function of the note is exactly the same as that of a representative token. As to the right to issue promises, it no moro exists than the right to establish private mints. For our present purposes that alone is right which tho legislature de clares to be expedient to the community at large.'' Albert Gallatin, who was secretary of the treasury under two administrations, said, "The right of issuing paper money as currency, like that of issuing gold and silver coins, belongs exclusively to the nation and cannot be claimed by any individuals." Again Mr. Gallatin said: "But issu ing a paper currency is not dealing in money, but making money. The unre stricted right of coining gold or silver might be claimed with as much pro priety as that of coining a paper cur rency. '' Testimony might be greatly extended to show that the right to "coin money," us given to congress by the constitution, applies to paper as well its to metal. And, as a logical consequence, neither states, corporations, nor individuals have any better right to issue currency than they have to coin metallic money. All money must bo redeemed; that is what money is for. An irredeemable money is worthless. But let us not be misled by terms. Swapping dollars is not redemption. All dollars, both metal and paper, need redemption. Money does not depend for its value on the value of the monetary material, but on the values that are behind it, on the values of the commodities with which it is redeemed. Hon. E. (4. Spaulding, a banker of Buffalo, N. Y., who was chairman of the subcommittee of ways and means in 18fil-2, stated tho subject, of redeeming money very plainly and truly when ho said: "Every time a SIOO bill passes from one person to another it is a practical redemption of it by tin; person who takes it. Every time a merchant at Chi cago pays to a farmer SSOO in national currency for a carload of wheat the farmer by the; operation redeems such national currency not in greenbacks, nor in gold, but in a commodity better than either—namely, wheat, a staple ar ticle, use ful te> all. So every merchant in New Ye>rk that sells a bale of cotton goods and receives his pay for it in cur rency redeems such currency, not in the; way that banks redeem it, but in cotton goods, which is far better, because it performs the true; functions of money by facilitating the legitimate sale of commodities. So every time that a mer chant or manufacturer pays his internal revenue tax to the United States col lector in national currency the govern ment redeems such currency by receiv ing anel discharging such tax. So every mechanic or laborer that receives na tional currcucy for his services redeems such currency by the labor performed. So it will be seen that just so long as the national currency is practically re deemed every day in its passage from hand to hand in tho payment of com modities and services, and in the rami fied operations of trade and business, both with the government and the peo ple whose operations it greatly facili tates, there is not the slightest necessity for resorting to the expensive and risky operation of assorting and sending it home for redemption." Dr. Franklin, discussing the money question before a committee of the Eng lish house of commons, said: "The English bank bills being pay able in cash upon sight by the drawer is indeed a circumstance that cannot attend the colony bills, for tho reason just above mentioned, their bullion be ing drawn from them by the British trade, but the legal tender being sub stituted in its place is rather a greater advantage to the possessor, since he need not be at the trouble of going to a particular bank or banker to demand tho money." From all that has been said, it ap pears that a money, either metal or pa per, that is receivable by the issuing government for all dues is good money, and then, if in addition to that receiv ability it is endowed with the quulity of a general legal tender, it becomes rc- I definable with all the commodities that ' are for sale in the country. Such a j money rests, not on gold alone, but on j all values, and all men are eager to re deem and accept such money to the ut- ' 1 most extent of the values they have for 1 ' sale. Such a money if coined from pa- j 4 per is precisely as good as the issuing i * government, and its volume can be con- j 1 trolled in the interests of the people , 1 far more easily than the volume of coin, j CAUSES OF LARGE FORTUNES AND 1 LOW WAGES. ( The wealth which any man owns is 1 either earned by him or it is not. If ( earned by its owner, 110 matter how \ great the amount of it, his ownership of j i it injures no one; it deprives no other i . man of anything which is justly his, i and there is no danger that any "for- 1 tune," consisting entirely of wealth 1 earned by its owner, will be too large, 1 for ability to earn is limited. And also j there is no mystery about its causes. , And one of them would be high wages, , for no man could accumulate even a ( small fortune by earning it unless ho i received and retained a large proportion I if not all of the wealth ho earned. But ] if not earned, then there is no limit to * the size of the fortune. The largo for- ' tunes which exist today are certainly 1 not earned by those who own them. I 1 doubt if any one would attempt to 1 maintain that they are. Tiny are ac- 1 quired legally, as a rule, but that does 1 not necessarily mean rightfully. The 1 men who can earn a million dollars in 4 one lifetime are not numerous, and yet ! 1 there are many men owning fortunes of i * many millions each. Since all wealth ! ( is produced by some one, if those who 1 do not produce wealth have it, or if ' some who, producing some wealth, have 1 more than they produce, then it fol- ' lows, as a matter of course, that some ( who have produced wealth do not lmve ' it. In some way a part of the wages of 1 those who labor has been transferred to 1 other men's pockets. In other words, if 1 some get who do not earn, then some ' earn who do not get. There is then a f vital and necessary connection between c large fortunes and low wage s. 1 How is this transfer of wealth effect- 1 ed? Why are those who labor and pro- 1 due© wealth willing to part with it for f the benefit of those who toil not and 1 spin not? It does not seem natural that 1 they should, and yet the practico is to ' nearly universal that we always expect 1 a "workingman" to be a "poor" man. ' All wealth is produced by labor, but ] not by labor alone. It must be applied ] to land, the great storehouse of raw material provided by nature. And JLS all men are here by the same warrant they j all have an equal right to be here, to live. But without access to laud no man can live. All men must therefore have ( an equal right to land, to the best as , well as the poorest. But these equal , rights to life and to land, though gener ( ally theoretically admitted, are practi- j colly denied by the institution of land- ( lordism, the private ownership of land. ] By our laws we allow certain persons to j hold the best land as their private prop- j erty and to charge their fellow men all | "the traffic will bear" for permission to use it. What landowners can get is the difference between what a given amount of labor can produco on their land and what the same labor could produce on the best land to be had for nothing, which is always the poorest land in use. As increasing population and improvements in the arts tend al ways to increase the demand for land, and thus to make larger the share which its owners can appropriate, an expecta tion of the still further advance is cre ated, and men are induced to hold land out of use on speculation. This compels labor to have recourse to still poorer land, thus lowering wages, which arc always fixed by what can be made at, the margin of production, and raising rent. Large fortunes, so called, do not really consist of wealth at all—that is, ( of "desired and appropriate labor prod- ' nets." If they did, they would soon be * used up or destroyed, for no sooner is an article of wealth produced by man than nature goes to work to reclaim ( the elements of which it is composed and to return them to the common reser voir from which they were drawn forth. Such fortunes as wo** arc now consid- , cring consist chiefly of taxing privileges of different kinds, by virtue of which J their owners can appropriate the results of work as they are produced without working themselves. And chief among these "taxing privileges" is landlord ism. We cannot permanently raise wages or prevent the amassing of "large \ fortunes" until we destroy private land : ownership (no possession)—that is, the private appropriation of values attach- ' ing to that to which we all have equal rights, the land. Until this is done de stroying other taxing privileges will have no effect, for landlordism is "the robber that takes all that is life," be that "all" much or little. But after this is done the other forms of private taxation can be more easily destroyed. How is this to be done? By the singlo ' tax. Abolish all taxes except ono sin gle tax on the value of land and make j that large enough to take all the annual i rental value, and tho private appropri ation of rent will be destroyed and with it speculation in land, enforced ( idleness and involuntary poverty, with all the intemperance, crime and misery ; that follow in its train. And "largo i 1 fortunes and low wages" will be no ! more, for whoro rent goes to the com munity and each gets all he earns no ; one can get more. EDWARD D. BURLEIGH.

"Considerations by the Way." TO TRUE DEMOCRATS. Addrcftft of the Texas (told Delegates Who Declined To Seek Admission. Chicago, July 7. —The following' are the main points in the address of the gold delegates from Texas who yester day decided not to apply for admission to the convention: "To all true demo crats who are delegates to the national convention: The undersigned are hero as delegates from the state of Texas, duly authorized and empowered V represent the sound money element of the democracy of that state, by a representative delegate convention, called and held in accordance with party usages. We are not here for the purpose: of waging a contest before the convention as to our rights to seats in that body, for candor compels us to say that, under existing circum stances, we would not accept admission to the convention. Coming as we do from a southern state in which the party organization has been usurped by political practices of the most ques tionable character, and which, by such methods, has sent to the democratic convention a delegation committed to the furtherance and enactment of a heresy wholly ulien to democratic principles and practices, we desire to say to all true and loyal democrats here assembled from the several states that we represent more than 100,000 democrats whose patriotism will not tolerate the degradation of our national honor. We are here to con tribute as best we may to the preserva tion and advancement of true demo cratic principles, the perpetuation of party existence, and the upholding of the honor and credit of our common country. We desire to say further that the question of the free and un limited coinage of silver by this gov ernment alone at the ratio of 10 to 1 has already passed beyond the domain of argument, and that our democratic brethren of the United States may pre pare themselves for the adoption bj* the convention of most extreme views upon this question. Upon this assump tion, which we know to be correct, we suggest that it is the duty of demo crats. in this crisis, to take measures for the preservation of the party, so that its principles may not perish from the earth. The exigencies of the situation admit neither of delay nor attempt a fruitless effort to compro mise. If we would preserve the party from destruction we must act now, un mindful of personal consequences, and regardless of aught save devotion to party existence uud unselfish fealty to party principles." VICTORY THE MAIN DESIRE. Senator Sti-wart Say* There Are A ny Num ber of Good anil Tried Men Available. Chicago, July 7.—Senator Stewart of Nevada, speaking to a United Press reporter this morning before the con vention convened, said: "I find the delegates generally discussing how they can secure the combined votes of democrats, populists and republicans. It is generally conceded that all these parties would vote for Teller, and that his nomination would secure success. Hut many of them have their own can didates, who have been faithful free silverites, and they cannot see why everybody should not vote for their favorite. There are a large number of good and tried men in the field, auy one of whom ought to satisfy good silver adherents. However, the paramount desire for victory is so great that it seeuis probable at this time that party prejudice will be buried and that there will bo a union upon a representative silver man of all the parties interested and that the man selected will lead to victory." Illlnolw To Support Dlaml. Chicago, July 7.—At a meeting of the Illinois delegation at the Sherman house it was decided that Illinois should cast her forty-eight votes for Richard P. Bland of Missouri for presi dent. The first formal vote stood forty eight to one in favor of Bland,with four delegates absent. Preceding the formal vote there was an informal bal lot in which Stevenson and others re ceived scattering votes. Anotlter Stcniner ft Total LOM, Halifax, N.
