but he dnres not onunciata or defend
them publicly or manfully. 1Io Inns no

never daroa to slow them. 1Io carries
winter on both shoulders. 11o cannot
take rank rs statesman, for he has novor
originated nnything good or bad in his long
political career. Ills record in Congress is a
strndd1ing ono. His record on tho stump is
similar. 1le kaa mover been tho champion Of
anationa1 policy, nor tho representative Of u

cian, smooth, oily partisan, snars,
Tolubla talker, good hand-shakor, and but

money men, l.o is in favor Of honest money;
when he is With rng.money men, he fondlos

for tho reason that he has not courago

in ilrBt attacking and thcn defending Senator
6ngnMAN's schomo for an Anglo.Amorican
currency has drawn general Intention to tho
plan. Tho commercial advantages Of uni-
form currency for Englisls-speaking people
throughout tho world would 10 grent. The
almighty dollar Ia worshiped In America,
North and South, in China md Japan, whilo
the sovereign ia sovereign over the trado
Of that Empire on which tho "enn never

commercially, though not politically, In tho
hanls Of the Eng1ish. II tho two values could DO
given common denominntor, international
trndc would bo Bi,nplit3od and strengthened.
They can bo. Reducing the nmount of specie
In our dollar by ".8S per cent would mako 1t
worth just one-lfth of tho British sovereign.
Tho coin dollar would thon be worth 07.12
conts In our present coinage. A simple low
would protect the holders of public and
private securities, payable in our 'prcaont
coin, from nny losa.
Il was q biuuder for us to oycr cut loose from
tho British standard. For this blunder tho
first Congress is responsible, at n timo
when spain was tho great ailvor-mart Of tho
world, hor "milled dollars" formed tie
main medium Of our exchange. Honce
tho uso of the Spanish dollar hore.
But when tho CONFUSED coinage Of
tho Colonies waa swept AWAY, tho
now dollar Of tho United statss should havo
been mnde equal to ono-ffth OF tho soYer-'
eign Of tho mother country. This was not
done. Since then, Congress has occasionally
RtultiAcd itself by solcnnly voting that five
dollass shall crchaugo for q pound sterling,
without troubling itself 10 mako their value
Just equal to TINT Of the pound or sovereign.
The latter is what uoet1s to bo dono now.
II, however, wo mako this concession, wo
may fairly aRlk for son,o return. England
should adopt the decimal system and mako ton
farthings ono penny, ten pence one shilling,
and twenty shillings ono pound. Thon tic
farthing will be ono-fourth of n cent, tho pen.
ny q cents or half nickel, tho shilling 25
cents or "quartor," tho sovereign five dol
as our dollar.
Such combined chango would bo groat
step towards true worlds currency. Trance.
Belgium, Switzerland, and Italy have the
franc as their unit, and the coins of one pasa
at full value in nil the others. Germany has
tho mark rs unit. This is worth 24A cents
in Our present coin, or tho morest inconsidsr-
able tri0e loss than IN English shilling. Even
after the suggested change in the iastor, tho
difference in value would be 80 slight
that Germany, Which, as IN intelligent Gov
ernmout, cau readily inanago such mattora,
could ba easily persuaded to assimilato her
coinage to the Anglo-Amorican standard.
Tho commercial world would then bo divided
into two grcat groups, ono Of them Anglo
Saxon, tho other Latin one with O currency
of ahillings, marks. and dollara, tho other
with currency Of francs, Tho former is
sure to bo more widely used, md this fact
will fnally make Anglo-saxon money uni.
versal. The world Is much moro likely to
ohtain uniform currency in this way than
by mixing attempts 10 bring about the whole
thing at onco By means Of many todioua
treaties and cumbersome compromises.
