THE treasury experts estimate that there
are now two millions OF counterfeit coin in
circulation, and that the amount is con-
'stantly increasing. Besides the process of
actual counterfeinng, the tracks of sweat
ing and filling are resorted to. As much
as two dollars, says the Scientific American
is stolen from $50 gold piece. What there
is left of the metal is genuine, and the i'm.
print, especially of the sweated piece, re-
mains sharp; after filling the coin is rebur-
'nished. Another process is known as split
ting by which as much as $3.50 can be
taken from a single $50 gold piece. The
two halves are then followed out and the
hollow filled with an alloy of silver and
platinum. The parts are Joined with gold
solder. Another process is to bore holes in
the edge, fill with silver, cover with gold
solder and re-mill. Chinese rogues are ac-
'cused of sending the coin to China to be
thus debased and bringingit back for circu-
'lation. The amount of value thus abstract
ed is from So to $3.50 from $50. The coun-
'terfeits, pure and simple, are almost invari-
ably below weight. But there is counter
felt S. piece which is one of the most dan
'gerous. 1t is full weight, 100 grains, COM
posed of gold and silver, and yet worth only
from S2.70 to $40. 1t is thicker than the

creased some fifty per cent in thirteen years,
although now it is but little higher than
five years ago. A man and wife, with two
'or three children, can live in two or three
rooms in poor and comfortless manner for
1875 a year, and to support such an estab-
'lishment all the members have to work ten
or twelve hours daily. For a family of six
persons the cost is about 81 a week-an
amount that few families can earn, as the
depression of trade and the reduction of
time allows few to do a full weeks work,
although wages are nominally trife higher
than five years ago.
Just what is to be gained by reducing the
working people to starvation prices has never
yet been set forth, and though in Europe
poverty may aid in keeping the people in
subsection, such state of things is not de-
sirable in the United States. Work for all
at remunerative wages is the democratic
theory, and if iudiclous legislation can aid
in bringing in an era of prosperity, the peo-
pie may be assured that it will be had as
soon as the democratic party obtain full con.

GOVERNMENTS.

Democrats charge that republicans are in
favor of "a strong government" and are try
ing to make political capital by this kind of
talk. 1t is in keeping with the demagoguery
of party which panders TO communism and
advocates every scheme that tends to weaken
the foundations of society. What do demo-
Gratis mean by saying that the republican
party is in favor of "a strong governments"
Do they mean il as thing of reproach? VIII
they dare to say that they favor a weak gov
eminent? or VIII they undertake TO show why
strong government is not desirable? They
dare not say the former, and can not show the
latter. We think we speak the sentiments of
in telligent republicans when we say they are
not disturbed by this charge of favoring a
strong government As between a weak gov
eminent and u strong one, they prefer the lat
ter. II democratic demagogues and commun-
isis favor weak government let them say so
the republicans will meet them on that issue
a. soon as they dare to make it.-Journal.

made by the democratic party against the

democrats mean when they charge the rad

noon of its power struck down constitutions,
bsyoneted legislatures, placed its despotlC
heel upon PROSTATE states, used the army as
a machine for carrying on and carrying out
its despicable policy, and gave evidence con-

RUSSIA finds out after posting her books
that her little unpleasantness with Turkey

THE POTTER FARCE.

To read some Of the radical organs one
might be led to conclude that radicals gen.
orally are having a glorious time of it in
laughing at what they are pleased to call the
Potter committee farce" When big
fraud is unearthed they applaud vociferous-
ly; when some damning perjury is dragged
forth to squirm and hiss like serpent a
jolly laugh goes round and the exhuberance
of the conspirators and their friends is al
most boundless. Such things, they declare,
help the party, make it popular with the
people and insure its success. The New

The KISS of Peace.


Fishwives and other maket women have
long enjoyed a reputation for turbulence of
speech and manner. not only in England.
but in most parts of the world. A Russian
colonel, who has lately been appointed chief
police master of one of tie most populous
towns of one of the Baltic provinces has hit
upon very novel, but truly oriental plan
for the civilization of these irritable DANES
He knew that preaching moral homily
would be of no use whatever where the
hearers were two women who were cursjng
one another at The rate of 40 words a min
ute, and who were only prevented from tear
ing one another's faces by the strong arm of
police. You must be locked up in one and
the same cell until you have kissed each
other" This was invariably the sentence of
the new magistrate in every case of female
broll which was brought before him. He
knew very well that although kissing one
another is habit with male Russians, II is
not much in use with the women of Nus
covy, least of all with the fishwives. The
excited ladies were hurried off, rallied for a
time louder than ever, protested that they
would die sooner than give this numiliating
sign OF reconciliation, and then, after a few
hours confinement, called the jaller, and
/ informed him that they had kissed" As.
the conciliatory act was effected in the dark
for the sake of procuring liberty, and with
out the presence of Witnesses, the fshFives
were informed that they must repeat the
kiss publicly in the open market place. a
small fine was then taken from each, and
they were marched out into the mercantile
areopsgus, and were then com PEELED in the
midst of their sisters in trade to kiss each
other three times, and to give public prom
ise of future peaceableness. At the end of
six weeks. during which period this curl
Gus penalty was frequently imposed, not
a single outbreak of a market wife battle Oc-
CURED within the jurisdiction of the humor-
Gus police master.

IT is S own by the returns from the mines
of America and Australia that the gold sup
ply is steadily decreasing. The San Fran
ciso Chronicle, in commenting upon the sui
ject, says that ''the gold product of the
American mines for 1878 will be little, if
any. less than that of last year. but with the
Australian mines the case is different. Their
product is decreasing TO an extent that will
make the gold product of 1873 $S5, 600, 900,
or 100000 less than that of 1877. The fol-
lowing shows the pold supplV since lS4S.

The present rate of production is not half
that reached in 1852. The population and
business of the world and the demand for
gold in the arts have increased much more
rapidly than the supply of gold has de-
creased, SO that the proper relation of
gold to business was being impaired IN both
directions at the same time' With re
duced production of gold the value of silve
is certain to advance, and Its demonstration
is likely to take place in all countries where

In view of the depressed condition Of busi-
ness OF every description growing out of toe
fact, mainly, that the currency has been
contracted under radical rule, from S37 per
capita to s13 per capita, the democratic
party of Indiana demands that legal tender
notes of the government "shall be issued in
such amounts as the sound business inter
'ests of the country may from time to time
require" With s37 per capita the country
was fabu' ously prosperous, and still the
amount was below that which France keeps
in circulation. The contraction of the circu-
lation to s13 per capita has led to almost
universal bankruptcy. More currency is
therefore imperatively demanded The dem
ocratic theory is "that the right to issue paper
money, as well as coin, is the exclusive pre-
'rogative of the government" and itdemands
that more greenbacks shall be issued, that
the business of exchange may be facilitated
and that the division OF labor may again
advance the national wealth.

REnARKAnLE TRADE CHANGES.

A London correspondent Of an American
journal recently made some astounding
statements concerning revolution said to
be undergoing In Great Britain's trade
and finances. These statements are con-
firmed by cable dispatches, and present
some curious As well as interesting facts.
That country seems TO be losing its grip"
upon the manufactures and the commerce
Of the world. and its once unquestioned
supremacy in trade seems about TO be cLal.
lenged, II not shaken. The changes in
the cotton market are very remarkable aud
signiacant Between 1890 and 1872 the
quinquennial increase in the exports OF
British cotton manufactures ranged from
"a to IS per cent, equal TO from IL to S.e
per cent. per annum. Between 1874 and
1877, on the contrary. the increase was
only per cent. or 1.s per cent. per annum.
In 1si2 the total cotton consumption Of
tho world was 2.514.000 bales, o. which
Great Britain took 1872. 900. or 81 per
cent. Of the whole. In 1877 the total con-
sumption was 7,i0S,000 bales, Of which
Great Britain took s,149,o0o. or "A per
cent. The United Statcs now manufacture
more bales Of cotton than Great Britain
did In 1912. since 1870 Great Britain's
annual consumption Of cotton has only in
creased 10000 bales. while that Of the
continent Of Europe, tho United States
and India has increased l,25o00o bales.
The consumption Of cotton In Great Britain
last year'uas 10000 bales less than IT was
in 1879. The decline which these figures
