small hope of change in British action at
present is expressed. Nor can ono see how
Western farmers are to be won to the srspcn-
sion of silver coinage by the argument that
Indian wheat sells in London for 20 per
cent less money because OF the fall in silver.
il o suspension of coinage would at once pro-
duce a new and unprecedented fall. But tho
measure urged is supported by many stronger
arguments than these, and it would DO most
gratifying If the conduct Of the Treasury De-
partment had been in harmony with them. In
this world however, swift preaching and lame
practice are sometimes close allies 1t was
Mr.. Mannings misfortune that the exigencics
of a political campaign required rising prices,
a business boom, and plenty of money in Wall
Street last fall. whether theories were damaged
or not.
The argument for revision OF the tariff rests
upon the assumption that surplus revenue OF
SI25,OOO,OOO will involve needless burdens
after the present fiscal year; that the purchase
of bonds not due would be unnecessary, OK
travagant and merciless to industrious toll
crs''; that "while the funded debt stands, 1t is
not wise to discard the taxes on whiskey, to-
bacco and beer" but rather to add duties on
coffee and tea instead of protective duties; and
that the protective system can help only per
cent of the workers. and must harm the rest
There will be abundant time TO answer these
rcasonings before Mr.. Mannings party can be
brought to act upon them. But it is important
to place on record his statements. for the time
will come when they will contrast curiously
with his action and that of his party.
L Administration placed itself in false
position at the beginning, when il attempted to
ignore the fact that four-ffths of the Demo-
Gratis are at the same time Free Traders and
silver inflationists. AS evil associations are
apt to corrupt, it was safe to pre-
dict that the Administration of such
a party would yield when it was in the right,
and try to please the innationists in practice,
while pleading eloquenty for sound currency.
The eloquent plea is repeated in MIR. Man
ning's report. But the actual initiation OF S34,-
100000 in the circulation outside the Treas
ury during the past four months is an effective
commentary.

THE TREASURY REPORT

Jacobs voice, Esau's hand. 1t is called Sec
rotary Manning's report, but 1t is not report,
and the greater part of it does not appear to be
Secretary Manning's 1t is not report, but
an editorial argument or speech on the silver
question and the tariff The bulk Of the ar
gument is not in harmony with the most i'm
pOrtant specific recommendation of tue Secre-
tary, nor with the conduct Of the Treasury
Department for the past four mouths. Ever
since Mr. Marble offered to ring fire bell in
night" his peculiarihes Of style have been
recognized by many of his fellow-citi-
zens. who will have no hesitation in giving
him credit for the graces of expression in this
argument. The opinions are those which Mr.
Marble has constantly advocated; they are not
those which have recently governed the action
OF the Department.
So long as Secretary Manning strove faith
fully TO protect the public credit. and to shield
the country from the evil influence Of silver
coinage and initiation. it was pleasure TO COM
mend his policy. Then he refused to issue
silver certificates at distant points upon de-
post of any tankabe funds at New York, but
for some months past the Treasury has been
doing precisely what it then refused TO do.
Then he strovo TO limit, so far as his under
sanding of the laws gave him power, the cir
cula ion Of silver certificates. Since August
he has increased the amount of silver ccrtifi-
Gates in use by about $17.OOO,OO0, and the
amount Of standard silver in use by about
$SOOO0OO In the report now submitted. he
recommends the retirement Of the outstanding
legal-tender notes. and the issue OF silver GER
ifcates in their room. lie proposes to pay
he unfunded debt with the present surplus and
that which will accrue. and TO issue silver Ger
tifica.es in their room. and gold certificates if
need be, without contraction OF the circula-
ton" Fidelity to the principles at first
pouscd by the Secretary compels distinct disap
prevail of the course he has OF late pursued.
and Of this recommendation to issue S34O. OOO.-

only in deprecated coins.
The argument in favor Of suspension OF sill

isb Government. since Lord Randolph Churchill
took charge of it's finances. can be said TO pre-
sent crisis Of vital importance. inasmuch ~

principal fact to be borne in mini Is that when
coffee houses in question a great deal more
than coffee is implied. To wean the masses from
tie saloon they must be offered somethin. which
meets all the social wants catered to by the sa'o
not only as well but little more fully than it
does. The absenre of intoxicants, in effect. must,
at least for n time. be compensated by something
harmless but entertaining. Even II that can be
done there will remain T. great manv people who
prefer the saloon precisely because they can get
liquor there. certain percentage OF them will
never change their habits. Another portion OF
them may in time be won over to the coffee
houses But IL the latter to be successful they
will have to be introduced AMI MANAGED on strictly
business principles, without any regard for their
Temperance effect. Then they will be tried on
their merits and IL they pay the projectors the
fact will he sufficient assurance that they are doing

THE COFFEE HOUSE SCHEME.

correspondent wants TO know why coffee
houses cannot be established in this city after the
manner of those English ones which Mr. Frederic
Gore has been describing. There is probably no
reason why such coffee houses should not be intro
duced in New-Yori. unless it be want of confidence
IN them as an inv estmcnt In approaching mat
ter of the kin l. however, IL is necessary to form,
late the subject practically. There are two a. par
entity distinct ways Of looking at this one namely
that OF the Temperance advocate pure and simple
AMI that of the unsentimcnal ca itast The
Temperance advocate is a t TO think that all that
is needed Is to open plenty OF coffee houses in order
b. reduce the consumption of liquor. The capital
list takes a broa err and mor, sea ching view In
the first place he perceives that what may be
termed the normal demand for coffee houses
that, namely which represents the satisfaction Of
a D rely physical want. is alea ~ su Piled The
pc,umt ton Is that there many OF the com
mon xnI Of coffee houses in existence as this nor
nal demand warrants. The question then is,
whether by addiny to the att action OF coffee
houses the demand can DO so stimulated and in
creased as 10 make ich venture Profitable
The answer from En,lani Is in the affirmative
and tits Is cncouraginy. But 10 understan the
fun meaning OF this answer we must know the
method employed there To make the coffee houses
popular, AMI when we know that we must take
into acco, mt the differences between English and
American public taste which would necessi ate
modification OF the English methods. Our co n,
across the Atlantic have certainly gone to work
in tho oughl practical way. They have aimed
at making the coffee houses successful rivas OF the
