SILVER COINAGE.

The anti-silvernrcss have adopt
ed new method of approach TO
the proposition that the coinage Of
silver by the United States MINIS
shall be suspended. Almost daily
1t is announced IN the Associated
Press dispatches that some leading
metropolitan newspaper OF the
East, heretofore strongly opposed
TO silver. has come on; IN favor OF
hi metalism. and then follows a
long extract from the article In
which the paper mentioned declares
itself. But the point to the article
is always proposition that coinage
of silver in the United States be
temporarily suspended in order to
drive Great Britain from monometal-
lem to bi-metalism. Should it be ORA
caoued into such a proceeding 1t
will take years Of work to secure
resumption of coinage ofsiiver, and
all that has so far been gained for
the cause Of mctalism vii be lost.
As toforcine England into BIN etal
ism-that will be sooner accomplish
I'd by the United States consistent
" following her own ro.icy. No
Government was ever forced into
the adoption OF contrary policy
by its previous abandonment byan
other. nor will England be n this
matter. The solution of the silver
problem so far as their own people
are concerned rests with the Unit
ed States. This country should
have policy OF its own in financlalaf-
fairs as well as in other economic
matters and should follow it TO the
end jus: as it has done Oh the tar.
if. A high tariff has made Amer
lea rich in opposition to the most
strenuous opposition Enelishmen
and their adherents IN America,
and free silver will add to those
riches in opposition to al England
can do. The proposition to force
England into bi-metalism by its
abandonment By the United States
is Just as sensible and practicable
as would. be proposition to force
her into high tariff policy by the
abandonment of that policy here.

NEW YORK, Aug. Especial kilograms to
the favorable features in trade circles heretofore
noted. The moderate increase in east-bound
trunk-line tonnage, backed by heavy lake
shipments and rail around Chicago is
significant. West-bound shipments are also in
creasing. particularly Of dry goods from New
York and Boston. The movement of general
merchandise at over twenty leading distributing
centers is reported to be above the August aver

Secretary Lamar's Continual Conflict with
His 3ubordinates.
Washington Special in Boston Advertiser.
The attempted denial on the part of Secretary
Lamar Of any difficulty with General Black is
taken here az piece of impulsive generosity on
the part Of the kindly Secretary in his enthus-
asm over the prospect of getting rid of the Gen.
eral. The truth is that Lamar has suffered Sc
verely since he went into the Interior Depart
mont, ard has suffered quietly. He has, If the
truth were known, been martyr to the ambi-
tions or the carelessness Of his subordinates A
gentleman who has been for years past on init
mate terms with the Secretary, draws
the following picture OF affairs at
the Interior Department during the
past year: Gall denials to the contrary notwith-
standing, the Secretary has had hard time with
Black, and is relieved at the prospect of his re-
Nrement Yet Black has not been the only thorn
IN Mr. Lamars flesh. Montgomery, the Assist
ant Attorney general. has caused him serious
embarrassment by his actions. He has on sew
eral occasions refused to listen to cases that have
been sent to him by the Secretary, although his
sole duty in the department was to give atten-
ton TO such cases as the Secretary brought to
his notice. It was actually found to be necessa-
ry to have the Attorney general draw Montgom-
eEys attention to his duties before he would give
attention to matters sent to him. Then Sparks.
with his enthusiastic monomania, drew the crit
icisms of the whole country upon the department
and caused the Secretary sEious embarrassment.
Atkins stirred up congressional investiga-
ton by his action regarding post traderships,
and, following this, came Mr.. Black again with
senatorial investigation upon charges that he
had wildly made regarding the former admins
tration Of the Pension Office Over this last
Investigation Mr.. Lamar was most deeply cha
grined, and this, coupled with the almost daily
complaints of Black that have assailed him. has
caused him to grow little weary of his Com
missioner Of Pensions. Mr.. jerks worried
under these annoyances for few months, and
then resigned. He could not possibly stand it,
although well enough satisfied with government
work. Mr. Lamar has, since Jenks's resigna-
ton. had to bear the brunt Of these complaints,
and it is said that he is almost prepared to follow
Jenkss example. He will certainly do so unless
relieved Of few of the gentlemen who are try
ing to make regulations his shoulders.
There are too many statesmen in possession of
the Interior Department at present.
