COLNAGE IND PRICES

1t is constantly said that the disuse of silver
is a cause of prevailing low prices, and there
fore that its coinage should be continued. But
this begs the question whether the coinage
tends to support prices. The first effect is
obviously in the direction of a higher price for
silver. 1t takes from the market silver else
where apparently not wanted. But unless the
silver so coined goes into use as currency, there
is no effect upon the prices of other products
On the other hand, the continued coinage has
effect in other ways upon the price of silver
itself.
The silver thus taken for the mint does not
go into use. The accumulation of idle silver
causes fear that or later the store will be
unlocked and the vast quantity of silver
empded on the market, either directly by sale
or at a depreciation as currency. In the latter
case, the depreciation of silver as currency
would vastly exaggerate the tall in the price of
bullion. The boards Of silver by France and
Germany have been the terror of the market
for years, and now the great hoard by the
United States is added.
On the other hand, continued coinage causes

ard. The control of the worlds markets.
through control of the price of silver bullion,
would give an enormous present advantage 10
those countries, while they would vastly IN
crease their supply of gold by the failure OF this
country to keep its large stock This hope
prevents action on the part of those Govern
ments to settle the silver question. Indeed, IL
tempts them to add an artificial to the natural
depression of silver, so as to push the United
States over the precpco in spite OF any resist
ance. Thus cable dispatch states that Ger
many is about to begin selling silver again,
notwithstanding the low price current, in order
to put an end to the hope that the policy Oh
that country may be reversed
The argument that the disuse of silver causes
low prices is thus wrongly employed as
evidence that the United States should not
suspend coinage. For coinage is not use
unless the coins 60 into circulation. 1t Is
merely accumulation of silver. and snver
accumulated in vast masses, where the amount
is constantly reported to the world, causes far
more apprehension than if held idle in the
scattered boards of private holders. The sus-
pension of coinage by this country would throw
on England and Germany the responsibility; it
woI.ld deprive them of hope that they may be
able to wrest from the United States its supply
of gold, and would force them to meet the
question themselves

DEMORALIzED PCBLTC SENTIM ENT,

| DEuORALIZEO FCDLIC SENIIh ENIo
1t is a melancholy fact that the cause of Civil
Service Reform, recalled to mind by the
| Presidents message and the report of the
Commission, has been set back further in
one year, since President Cleveland began to
enforce the law, than it had advanced in
several years under faithful Republican en-
| forcement. Doubtless this statement seems
extravagant and tinged by partisanship to
those Civil Service RefOrmers who cling to the
! Administration with more than paternal fond
ness. But if they open their eyes to the
changes in practice and in public opinion which
are actually visible all around them, they will
realize that it is the simple truth
Little more than year ago, suspicion that an
officer of President Arthur's Cabinet was dis
regarding the law would have aroused an out
cry for his removal. Proof that he was doing
so would have brought to support the demand,
not only good citizens of all PAL ties, but every
active politician Of every party. The Den o.
Gratis would have demanded his removal as
means of impressing the public with their
sincerity. Even those Republican politicians
who do not at bottom believe in reform would
have seized the same occasion to court public
sentiment then believed to be most powerful.
But what do VIC now sect POstmaster-Ge General
Villas has violated the law repeatedly. The
fact has been so proved that it is scarcely
denied. Nobody thinks of his removal nobody
cOnsiders it worth while to ask for it. 1t is
known that the party now in power objects to
Mr.. Villas, not because he has done these
things, but because he has not done more of
them. 1t is believed that the President, If lie
removes Villas, would be as likely as not TO
select a man more satisfactory to his party.
The public opinion which would have
denounced such acts with indignant fervOr is
now divided and demOralized. A part of its
conspicuous representatives are engaged in
trying painfully to cover Mr.. Cleveland's short.
comngs, and to make the best of an Admins
tration for which they are responsible
Two years ago, had President Arthur selected
a notorious spols politician, one of the most
INSCRIPTIONS in methods and aaclose associate
of ballot-box suffers and forgers of returns,
member of the Civil Service Commission in
place of Mr.. Eaton, what an Outburst Of wrath
there would have been. He did no such thing;
nobody supposed it possible that such a man
could be found in the Republican party who
would dare to ask for such place. Put Presi-
dent Cleveland puts in Oberly, and where is the
Outburst of wrath Again the Civil Service
sentiment of the country is divided and demon
allied. a part of the most conspicuous repre-
sentatves are engaged in whJewashng the
Administration for which they are responsible.
They are not willing to say or to think of the
Administration what every reformer, every
good citizen and almost every politician of
either party would have openly said of Presl-
dent Arthur had he been guilty of the same
acts. Do not the reformers see that there

THE CAN4DIAN GOVERNMENT sustained.
The Rei debate in the Dominion House of
Commons has at last been brought to close,
and vote being taken on Mr.. Landrey's motion
censuring the Government for the execution of
Rlel the Ministers were sustained by a majority
of "a the vote standing LAG to 50. The attack
on the Government was fierce and determined
one Every influence was used that could be
avaied of to intensity the race enmity which
was al the bottom of the movement. The most
sweeping and extravagant statements were
made by some of the defenders of Riel, and
principles were advocated the adoption of
which would have been as disastrous to the
Opposition as to the Government Notwith-
standing the heated character of the debate,
however, it has resulted in substantial victory
for the Government. Sir John Macdonald finds
himself at its close with probably more strength
than he had hoped fol, and the passion i'm
ported into the discussion clearly did not afford
any practical help to the Opposition.
The precedent offered, however, is mis-
chievous, as the Minister of Justice Mr..
Thompson, pointed Outin the course of the de-
bate. Making Parliament q court Of last resort
for the retrial of criminal cases is opening the
door to political abuses of a serious kind, and
the danger of such abuses is greater in Canada
than in most countries, because of the mixture
of races in the population. Where race preju-
dice is strong and party feeling rams high there
will always be a temptation to raise the cry OF
persecution when some criminal whose relations
or previous position give him notoriety is in
the hands of the law; and if the custom is per-
mitted of transferring the trial of such cases to
Parliament, and thus making the execution of
justice even in part dependent upon fractional
politics, it is clear that the government of the
country will become more difficult than ever.
No such occurrence as this Riel debate could
have taken place in the Imperial Parliament,
and there is no sufficient reason for permitting
SO dangerous an innovation in a provincial
legislature.
1t is fortunate for the cause of good
government that the Canadian Cabinet
has been sustained by an emphatic ote, but the
risk taken was a grave one, and it can hardly
be expected that the Opposition will abandon
the new departure which has afforded them the
means of worrying and embarrassing their OPP

The debate in the Senate over the suppressed
papers is approaching an end. Indeed, the vote
upon the Judiciary resolutions may be obtained
to day. The delay in mo way seems to have
strengthened the Democrats position. They
have had a great deal to say recently a'ont the
unconstitutionality of the tenure of office act ;
but unfortunately for them, as Mr.. Evarts
showed yesterday, that point has nothing to do
with the real question at issue between the
Senate and the President. Mr.. Evarts exposed
thoroughly the system of judicious selection by
which the Democratic debaters have been abe
to misquote Republicans in this matter. To
take sentence from a speech here, and another
there, is sometimes effective in sustaining
charge of inconsistency; but it is always dis
honest. Yet that is the way old speeches OF
Mr. Evarts and other Republicans have been
treated in this debate.
