policy toward India will be, is one
Of the Oldest Of chestnuts Before
the resumption of specie pay
ments, for years the Wall Street
sha-pers daily tossed gold up and
down on rumors Of their own man

! Threadneedlc Street are doing now.
They persist in reatlng silvermoney
as a commodity merely; as though
little stagnation in the market
would cause it to fall as If it were
vegetables or bull-butter The idea
that silver is precious metal, the
very life blood of commerce, and SO
rare that the world needs every
grain of it. they steadily ignore and
hire their organs to ignore it, and
go on with their gambling. And
our Congress, with eyes darkening,
20 on with Adjournment, and DO
nothing, though their duty is as

metry. More than 81 per cent. of
all our trade is domestic trade. We

enough by a thousand millions of
dollars to do business with. The
present gold product is absorbed in
the arts. To make up the defic-
iency we have greenbacks, nat

There could be no better money
than silver certificates backed by
silver, dollar for dollar, in the
Treasury. If we would but use
our own silver product it would
supply the need, and would not
over supply 1t, for the annual pro-
duet does not keep up with the de-
mand for new money. That plan
adopted aud adhered to would leave
Europe where she was before our
SILVER mines were discovered. She |

OF that our Government compels
our miners to send their bullion to
London, to let the sharpers there
fix the price upon it. 1t does, it too,
at the expense Of every industry Of
the Republic. The farm ers ard
