Does anyd one believe that there is
anything connected intrinsically with
the commercial value of silver to
make 4l2A grs. of silver coin worth
~ dollar, Oh can disturb this when the
government maintains. constitutional
law in its dominiOns? On the cons
tIary, are not all the operations in the
procurement of silver from the mines
based upon these government adjnst>
ments of its value in their coinage?
MIST assuredIy. Each government
determines this in its own limits, aud
while faithfully executing its laws is
master of supply and demend to the
extent of its coinage, as affecting the
stability of its coin. Production of
silver acknowledges this, because it
moves not until it sees remuneration
founded upon government coin.
Abundance of silver in the market is
IA blessing to a well regulated govern
ment, because this jnsures its procure
ment, the thing desired for coinage
with convenience and upon favorable
terms; its great scarcity might embar-
rass, which may be the case with gold.
Without execution of constitutional
law, now violated and ignored, restor-
my silver to its rights rs fixed by the
constitution and acts of congress, all
attempts for remedy will fail, will
amount to nothing more than at best
topping off a few dead limbs from the
tree, while the disease with its raw,
ages is active at the root. The issuing
of certificates by the government, the
servant of the people, in answer tn
present reasonable complaints If the

quantities would removed public in

uraly to the expectations OF many,

Sex Isolation in Education.

President Warren, of the Boston Universi-

the same medieval ideas which created and
sustained monasticism. "If the aim be-" he
says, ''to narrow human being TO one small
function, isolation will be found helpful. If
the aim be the semI-development OF a human
being, semi-isolation is by all means desira-
ble On the other hand, harmonious all
