of q common ratio of coinage by all Western
nations This plan is not ut war with puDhc
faith. and will receive the candid consideration
to which honest measures are entitled, even
from those who doubt their wisdom.
But the Bland bill is not an honest measure.
II changes the law upon the faith of which
the United States has sold $7S3,OOo,OoO OIL
bonds Formal pledges have been given
by this Government, in accordance WIN
the act of 1878 stopping the coinage
of silver, that the principal and interest
on bonds offered for sale should be paid III
gold. and that the customs duties for the pro-
lection of public creditors should be collected
in gold. 1t not only makes silver dollar
now worth less than 92l2 cents legal-tender
for payment of principal and interest on bonds,
and all customs duties, but it thus depIlves
the Government of all gold revenue, ef-
fectually repudiating the pledge of the
act of 1875. to redeem the legal-tcnders IN
gold. There are many advocates OF remone-
tization. whose views we do not adopt, but can
respect, who hold that silver dollars should be
,ssned in exchange for legal-tender notes,
dollar for dollar, or that the notes should be
Withdrawn by funding rs fast as the silver IS
issued. They hold that such retirement Of notes,
nrior to the date fixtd for resumption, Will
help that process. But the Bland bill is at
war with this pan as with every other that
looks to any honest payment OF debts. 1t
aboshes as to silver the charge now made
for coinage, and in effect provides:
|. That the Bonanza spectators may have
all the bullion from their mines turned at pub
lie expense into coin which shall be legal
tender without limit.
II. That the German Government may also
have all its store of silver turned into such
United States coin at the expense of the United
States
These are not only dishonest propositions,
since they involve reputation of public obli-
cations, and not only hostile to every plan of
the intelligent advocates of the double stand
ard they involve the greatest peril to business
interests. We cannot believe that the Senate
will adopt them. We cannot believe that any
vote for them whatever can avert IA veto by a
President who cares for the public welfare or
the public honor.

gence and integrity of the voters whose ap-
proval they seek.
Twenty years absence from power has gwen
them an unreasoning hunger for official spoils'
During this period they have tried every arti-
flee and trick and manGuvre to win popularity
and secure votes. But the craft OF the dema-
gogue has appeared through it all Mr.. llden
talks about the party having a " central idea'" IL
has none at all, except by any ana all
means to win votes. He may have centrai
idea, but the party is simply an incongruous
and incoherent crowd of ranting demagogues,
who believe the people are sordid, mean ana
dishonest and that by pandcring to their base
passions and low desires it is in the power OF
the Democratic party to secure their Ia
vor and support. The majority in Congress
are unused to the responsibilities of power.
The taste they are now enjoying is developing
no capacity for its exercise, but only an IN
tense hunger for more. They are not trying TO
assist in legisIating for the country, but SIM
ply posturing for applause, and playing the
demagogue Their fatal mistake is in reckon
ing that the people are destitute of both IN
teligence and conscience.

4 TIMELY SUGGESTION.

ON the 18th of this month the life-saying
stations along the coasts are opened, and the
crews enter on their duties. On the more dan
gerous portions of the coast, their watch is
kept up until April 10 or May l. Our
readers know how efficient this six-mOnths'
vigil of these hardy men has proved in the
saving of life and property during the six
wears it has been established. Last year was
the most calamitous of the six, and in it
there were 10S disasters to vessels within
the limits of the districts guarded by the ser
vice. The number Of lives impenlled was 75l,
and of these only twenty-five were lost. The
shipwrecked We're given shelter and comfort
at the stations, and more than half the prop
erty endangered was saved. The whole cost
of maintaining the Life Saving Service during
the year did not amount to one-eighth the
value of this property saved. We may be sat
isfcd, therefore, that one branch of Govern
ment service pays fair percentage of income
To the nation, leaving the saving of human
life quite out OF the account, on which no price
can be set.
Our object is not, this morning, however, to
call attention to the efficiency of these crews,
but to pleasant way by which many of our

Russians were repulsed, and retired to Deye-

readers, no doubt, will be glad to show their
appreciation Of their faithful service. The sta
tons are 10S in number, placed from necessi'
ty, on the bleakest and most dangerous points
on the coast, and manned each by keeper
and six surfmen. The houses are furnished
with only tho barest necessaries for comfort.
The rules of the service require the constant
presence of the men at the station, except
when patrolling the coast. Nothing can be
well imagined more bare and dreary than the
daily lives of these men will be during the
coming Winter months. We suggest that do
nations of reading matter to these stations
would be a most effective way OF doing good
and giving pleasure, and one easily within the
power of most of the readers of The IRiB-
UNE. Books, new or old, of history, deyo-
ton. travels, fiction, volumes of magazines
or newspapers, would serve the purpose. A
good woman who died in Philadelphia
year or two ago, left a friend behind whose
name we do not know, but who we are
sure il worthy of having friends,
both in heaven and on earth, and
this kindly soul last November, instead
of bniIding n monument over her dead, or
giving her the testimonial of a stained-gass
window, sent III HcT lltinOiy a. ii''iO N"'N
books to some of these lonely stations. We
should be heartily glad if some OF our readers
would 90 on with this work. They would
think with more pleasure of these poor fel-
lows. keeping up their ceaseless watch along
the coasts while we are all sleeping warm
and safe, through the stormy nights tins VIM
fer. if they knew they had heid
ort friendly hand to them, and sent them
so much good cheer and comfort. Cases nave
been built at the stations for the reception OF
such books as may be sent, and these cases
are made portable, so that the books can be
exchanged as soon as read, from post to post
If any of our readers are minded 10 give so
much pleasure with so tritling an expenditure
of time and trouble we have no doubt that
the chief of the Life Saving Service, upon
application, will direct them how to send their
gifts directly to the stations where they are
most needed Now, when the stations are
being reGtted, is the proper time to send.

The recognized organ Of the Tammany De

ment that Mr. Kelly favored an increase in the

ment often made during the campaign and repeated
in The TRIBUNE yesterday, is erroneous Mr.. Kelly,

pal expenses in all departments to the lowest point
consistent with efficiency. Good. If Mr.. Kelly will
perseyere in this excellent resolution, and that
it is realized in the shape of legislation, he will earn
our thanks and confidence. With regard to some of
