ic. Therefore, no competition possi-
BILE between the producer of gold
and the producer of silver, no pur-
chase and sale, no account, no price
between one metal and tho other.
Without their being offered, without
their being demanded, the circula-
tion absorbs them both at the legal
par, and cannot refuse them. When
the monetary law is bi-metallic, nei-
ther gold nor silver, coined or un-
coined, is merchandise. That is the
secret.
Their color is different, their
weight is different, their production
is different-no matter; the paying
power of the two cnrrencies being
legally identical, no depreciation can
befall one metal relatively to the
other, and consequently the relation
between the weight of the gold coin
and that of the silver coin never
needs alteration.
Knowing that ne could prescribe
for perpetuity, the legislator of 1903
took good care not to say that the
l5i should be merely provisional and
subject to modification the Isl
was never modified, and during
three-qnarters of IA century it govern
ed the relative value of gold and sill
yer In the entire world. 1t will ap-
pertain to the International Congress
to re-establisl, ", to declare it uni
versal, and thus to give it absolute
stability. This will be a great bene-
fit for all nations.

The Crevasse and the Fisheries.

In observing the active industry
of crab fishing which prevail in
the village Of Pass Christian, II
was our luck to encounter Ger.
man who stands by admission at
the head of that industry. In a
somewhat prolonged interview he
explained the difficulties which
embarrassed the fishermen. "Der
crevasse," he said, had driven
away the sheephead, ousted the
oysters and brought the river cat
in their place. Zach mein Gott,"
said hesith emotion, "when dere

1t was suggested that the Unit

all the Gulf fisheries which sup
piled the city of New Orleans, and
because it wouId be better for the
health of the city and the coast to
have a body of salt than of fresh
water about them. This attempt
to enlist the fishing interest in be-
half of Federal improvements was
somewhat interrupted by Herr

which he addressed to ",lem dam

The Duty Of Taxpayers and As

A friend In the country writes
to NJ, a. follows:

1877, defines the duties Of assess
orr, bat, taxpayers in general do
not read the acts Of the Legisla-
tage, and to them the lessons Of
this act are lost. There are many
taxpayers who seem to think, and
DO actually say, that a change
for the t,etter in our State govern
ment ought to bring about . re-
duction In assessments. That 1t
will, In due time, effect q rednct-
ion OF the rate Of taxation ID Ger.

IL has increased the value Of pro.
perty from % to 30 per cent.

understand that a falsely low esti.

theloag run, reduce the 0ssosst
Of the tax that must b. levied for
the support Of the government,
sincc it must necessarily result III
increasing the rate OF taxation,
