OUR MERCHANT NAVY.

1t is evident that Congress will be com
PEELED by public sentiment to consider at
an early day what action can be wisely
taken to restore our shipping interest to
the rank it held before the war. The
annual report of the Secretary of the
Navy contains u recommendation that
subsidies be granted for the establishment
Of American steamship lines. The adj
vocates of such subsidies and those who
urge the admission of foreign built ships
to American registry will have Il battle
to fight in Congress. and the country will
not be content if the agitation of this
subject results i'll nothing more than a
quarrel between factions. England. be
gan in 1891 the policy Of protection for
her shipping interest, and she has not
abandoned that policy from that time to
this. France. eager to obtain the wealth
of the seas has granted heavy tonnage
bounties for the establishment of steam
ship lines. and there is little hope of the
restoration of the shipping interest OF
the United States to its former rank I'M
less the government grants some such
direct aid to its merchant navy as rival
nations afford to theirs. Among the
subjects Of grave Importance to which
Congress must give speedy and earnest
attention is that of what may be done
to give our shipping the place upon the
seas the greatest of our Republic de
mauds.

THE NEW SILVER COINAGE

People who are overburdened with an
abundance Of silver coin will be delight
ed to know that Secretary Sherman will
recommend and the President will ap-
prove. a new coinage, replacing the pres
ent dollar, which contains 412. grains,
with !, new coin. of $50 grains of silver.
and equal in value to a gold dollar With
this increase of weight. the new coin will
rank at par. and become stable cur
rency. Silver has more variable value
than gold. it is true, but not enough to
prevent the adoption Of the gold basis
The production of silver is not as great
as formerly. ints1S United States mines
produced Sol, 900, 600 Of silver, but last
year less than half as much. In 1913
the silver product of Victoria and New
South Wales was $4,000, 900. but last
year it was but ST, 100000. The silver
mines q Australia are by no means ex-
hausted, ana ti.ase OF this Republic are
amazingly rich, but their aHpual yield is
not likely to effect such fluctuations in
the silver market as have occurred dur
ling the last ten years. If the silver coin
of this country is now recoined on Il gold
basis fluctuations in the silver market
will not be likely to make another recoin-
age necessary during the De4s quarter
century. at least. The trade dollar, which
everybody refuses to take, and the eiGh-
ty-eight cent silver dollar which 30 one
likes to take, are disliked because Of their
pretense to be what they are not. more
tiiaa because they are coin and not paper.
1t is well to have one measure of value,
just as it Is tiast to have standard yard
stick; but it is not wise for the greatest
silver producing country earth to viz
tually exclude silver from its money Ga
clllation. Let silver be coined as freely
as gold, but. as Col. Bob In.ersoll puts
it. "Let every silver dollar be worth 4
dollar in gold if YOU have to make it four
feet in diameter.
