Silver IN the Treasury.
st. Louis Republican.

Secretary Sherman continues to exhibit
the auti-popular spirit on the silver coin
age which prompted him to assist In the
characterization of 1873. A year ago con-
gress passeu an act requiring him 10 coin
$2,O00,0O0 to $4.000,000 per month of
silver dollars, which should be full legal
tenders for all debts. Under this act
there had been coined up to November
OF the present year. $45, 200, 900, of which,
Sl3,OO0,O00 has been put in circulation,
and $32,O00,000 is held in the treasury.
The secretary thinks that when the
amount coined reaches $50,00O,OOO the
coinage ought to be stopped, because the
silver dollars do not circulate easily and the
bulk OF the coinage remains in the treas
urv mo effort" he says. has been
spared to put this coin 10 circulation"
But the statement Is disingenuous, if not
positively untrue. The secretary has de-
liberately disregarded the spirit of the law
ID his effort to prevent the silver dollars
from getting into circulation. The law
makes them legal tenders, the same as
gold and greeubacks, but when public
creditors demand gold, which is worth 10
20 IA per cent. more than silver. he gives
IL TO them, although it is his duty as agent
OF debtor government to pay in the
cheaper money. As long as gold coins

Gambling in the army is to be stopped,
Senator Plumb, of Kansas, is going to do
it. IF a soldier or officer, while in actual
service, is caught gambling he will be
punished by court martial, the soldier
to be punished according to the discretion
of court, the officer by dismissal from the
service or some less severe punishment.
In addition, if an officer CANDLES when he
is not serving with troops he is to be
punished. Post traders will be discharged
from Office if they allow gam bling in build
ings under their charge. The command
ing officer at the post will bring the offend
ers to justice. These measures will doubt
less prevent gambling in the army. They
might be applied to prevent stock gamb'
ling, as that is much more pernicious
The bill was referred to the committee or
military affairs, and, as the bill is already
two years old, it has a great chance to die
of old age.

coin, of course. public creditors will prefer
the former. But why should they have
the privilege of choosing? 1t is the debtors
right to say which of two lawful moneys
he will pay the obligations in, and the
creditor is bound to accept what is offered.
The secretary is paying out 1913, 100000 a
year in interest on the public debt. Here
is a fine opportunity to put the silver
dollars in circulation. but he does not take
advantage of it. Not one silver dollar
does he pay out in interest; it is ali paid in
the public creditor at the cost of the peo-
pie.
The secretary can get the silver coins
into circulation easily enough. if he only
wanted to. The trouble is he does not
want them to circulate.
