Chairman Jones then addressed the

THE San Francisco Call is up in
arms against the notion Of putting
lumber on the free list, while the duty
on sugar is reduced only 20 per cent.
In this the Call displays how utterly
thick-and-thin Republican bias con.
trolls its views. For a Californian to
want sugar made free and lumber
taxed betrays denseness Of concep.
ton hard to realize. OF course the
Call wants sugar made free under
Democratic administration, in order
to weaken that party in the South,
where sugar is staple pre-
duct. Lumber it wants protected
in order to aid the half
score firms in San Francisco who pay
the Call certain modest s. ums annu-
ally for advertising their wares. That
is the core Of the Calls policy. 1t
matters not that California has great
opportunity now at her door of be-
coming the great sugar region of the
continent. There is no beet
root sugar factory yet in operation
to advertise its product, and
the Call doubtless accepts the princi-
pie expressed in the words sufficient
unto the day." etc. Were lumber
admitted free million people in this
State would be benefited by such
change in the tariff, and to very ma
terial extent. But the ten firms who
advertise in the Call would suffer
Now, from a partisan standpoint, a
Democrat would be glad to re-,
the lumber tariff untouched; for
such policy would increase the
party's chances in Michig n
and Wisconsin. Perhaps this has
to do with the vitality tf
our party. Democracy is as robust
and as earnest under defeat as when |

Fractional CURRENCY,


EDITORS HERALD: Because fully
agree with you that silver should be
coined in large quantities, | venture
to ask you to allow me to differ from
you in your columns in regard to the
issue of $75, 900, 900 OF fractional cur
rency now proposed in Congress. The
advocates OF silver coinage make a
mistake, it seems to me, in insisting
on the circulation OF silver coin as a
necessary consequence of a large sill
yer coinage. A general circulation OF
coin money of any and every kind is
an evil and an inconvenience, because
OF the wastage by constant wear, and
OF its weight and bulk. Paper money
of all denominations is far prefera ble
for actual circulation and use. But
both coin and paper OF equal value are
Indispensable to perfect currency,
each, however, in its proper
place. Gold and silver are
the worlds currency, the cur
rency of all civilized nations.
combined by common consent and are
therefore the medium of exchange for
the foreign trade of nations with each
other. They are therefore the basis
and standard OF value of all curren-
cies, paper money and subsidiory
coins issued by the several nations.
Each for itself are national currencies
of local circulation only. For domes-
tic traffic, constituting ninety-nine
hundredths of the trade of every peo-
pie, the nations own paper money
may in every respect be just as well
used as coin, and for economy of wear
and convenience OF handling, much
better. The government should,
therefore, give free and unlimited
coinage to all the gold and silver that
this country produces.
That wonid at once bring every
ounce of silver to par with gold at the
rate established by law for the weight
of the silver dollar. But having been
coined and its value thus fixed by
law, it is not necessary that this gold
and silver coin should be put in circu-
lation. AS above stated, it is better
that it should not, except so much as
shall be specially called Jor, for for
eign trade or other particular use.
The Government should, in addition:
furnish free storage fer all the gold
and silver coin deposited with it,
issuing coin certificates therefor.
These, including fractional currency
should, with greenbacks, constitute
the sole currency of the nation. Pro-
vision should of course be made
for the exchange OF soiled or worn
paper money for new clean is-ues
1t is the duty OF every government to
provide its people with a currency
suitable in quality and quantity for
the easy transaction of it's business.
Nothing less than the above is a dis
charge of that duty. Gold and silver,
coined and locked up in the treasury,
perform just rs important function
in our system of currency as if in ac-
tual circulation. Coin certificates
serve their purpose in this system,
and greenbacks theirs, each differing,
however, in this respect from the other
and frern coin. What is wanted for
silver is coinage, not circulation.

the jurymen if they had agre ed upon

they had not and that there was no

Cheney therefore ordered that the
