The Future Of Electricity.

1t would be quite impossible to fore
cast the future, even Tor single decade
with reference to the applications q
electricity, even though discovery were
ended. The mere expansion of indus
tries already in some degree established
will give them an Importance which
we cannot now estimate. But dis
covery is not ended, and it is more
than probable that results will yet be
reached which, although they cannot
be at variance with the general doc
trine of energy as now understood, may,
to some extent, revolutiOnize our
methods. with corresponding advan-

Put Silver Behind the National
Bank Notes.

The proposition of the .SiIver Dollar
seems to cut the Gordian knot of the
Silver question. 1t will make home
market for ell the silver we can pro-
duce from our mines, and give security
70 ever National bank note that will
make it good as a silver certificate, or
gold which it is not now. It will in
terest the National banks in the cause
Of bi-metalism, which they have here
tofore opposed. 1t will save them
from going out existence which, as
matters now stand, is surely their
speedy end. AS long as silver is below
its par in gold, or below the ratio of
l to Is, these will be profit to the
banks in going into this arrangement.
The extra demand for silver will
causc it to rise in value, and thus gold
and SILVER will once more clask hands
in a union of prosperity for the people.
The plan is SO simple and SO practical
that no time should be lost by the
next Congress in putting it into ex-
ecution. 1t will have the way for free
and unlimited coinage, and help give
to the nation. - Silver
