Bland of Missouri, the Democratic

Bland Of Missouri, the Democratic
leader on the silver question, says:
"The Presidents message on the silver
question is vague and inconclusive. He
claims to be a friend of silver, but while
he desires it in our circulation, he coun-
sells as little of it as possible, hence he
has not coined more than two million
dollars worth of silver per month, thus
following in the footsteps of his prede-
cessors. He refers to the view of the
Secretary of the Treasury as to the issu.
ing Of certificates on the market value Of
silver bullion, but we are not informed
as to what the plan Of the Secretary
may be, therefore cannot now intelli-
gently c~riticise the plan. The President
is evidently in doubt himself on the sub.
iect of silver coinage. 1t is difficult to
understand one who does not understand
himself"

It is singular. says the s. F. Alta,
that wherever the Australian ballot sys-
TEN is in operation there are great Dem
ocratic gains. No doubt som influence
has heretofore prevented e free ballot
and a fair count. The system seems to
work to q charm in New England, and
we are not without hope that its intro
duction into Pennsylvania would eman-
cipate the degraded vote Of the miners,
which is cast under the absolute dicta-
tion Of their employers. We regret that
the President did not let us know what
he had to recommend on both sides Of
this Australian ballot. He straddled
everything else and ought to have got
onto this.

Done for silver this Wfnter.
Senator j. z. Jones passed through
last evening going to Washington. He
is in robust health aud fully equipped for
the fray with the gold bugs. He is an
ardent advocate of silver remouetiza-
tion snd is so thoroughly convinced Of
the justice Of the cause, that he cannot
conceive how Congress aud the Admins
tration can refuse longer to place the
metal on an equality with gold at the
mints. The Senator says that there is
not much, if any. over production OF
silver ct present, the demand being
about equal to the supply, and If we can.
not get free coinage, the Government
should at least coin the $4,000, 600 per
month. authorized by the act Of Febru.
airy 1875. II Congress refuses to pass .
free coinage act and the Administra-
tion declines to coin 1900, 600 standard
dollars monthly, which he believes,
would soon restore silver bullion TO par,
he would consider the silver producing
States j~ustifable in placing an electoral
ticket in the field at the next Presiden-
tial election and giving the electoral
votes Of those States, to the candidate.
pledged to do most for silver.
Senator Jones has always been one OF
the ablest advocates Of silver remoneti-
zation. His speech on the Bland Bill, or
Silver Bill as 10 was generally called,
was the most comprehensive, by all
odds, ever delivered on the subject, and
the arguments which be advanced were
unanswerable. When the battle is re-
uewed this Winter, as a representative OF
= silver producing State, he will doubt
less be found in the front ranks dealing
sledge-hammer blows for the metal
which was debased by the fraudulent
legislation Of lS73.-Silver State.

Sensible Proposition,

The Genoa Courier says: Here
after we propose to charge more for
keeping things out OF the paper than
for putting them in. If the newspa-
pers told half OF all they know, a
society revolution would ensue in short
order. 1t is what is kept out OF a
paper, not what is put in, that keeps
the world running smoothly"
The Courier is right regarding its
charges, as it is almost invariably the
case that persons who want things
kept out of the paper are those who
never pay a cent for putting anything
in them.-Silver State.

The Printer the Pioneer Of Western
Civilization,

Truly may the printer be said to be
the pioneer of Western civilization.
There is but one other that goes before
the printer on the Pacific Coast, and
that is the prospector. When q ''strike"
has been made and the town of tents
and pine. shakes arises, in the midst
thereof is seen the tent or shanty OF the
printer. The Sillverton (Or.) Appeal
exaggerates very little when it tells that
q Portland printer was seen wading
through the mud Of the Santium bottom
the other day with a font of long prim-
er and q couple of galleys done up in
his extra shirt, looking for a location on
the Oregon Pacific railroad to start a
timber land sheet. In his back pocket
we're half a dozen column rules. while in
his hat he carried q bodkin and a job
stick.

WINDOWS sILvEs PROPOSITION

The following article is from the New
York Herald, and explains fully the
proposition submitted by Secretary
Window Of settling ~ the silver ques.
ton:
Secretary Window proposes to issue
Treasury notes against the deposit of
silver bullion at its market value when
deposited; to make these notes r~eceiva.
bic for customs, internal taxes and all
public dues, and to make them redeema.
bic, at the option Of the Government, in
gold coin or in silver bullion at the mar
ket price on the day of redemption, or
in silver dollars if the holder prefers
these. The coinage Of silver dollars is
at the same time to cease.
1t cannot be denied that il something
must be done about silver Mr.. WINDOWS
is the safest and best plan that has seen
daylight. 1t creates . note which
will be at all times worth par in gold.
because the holder can always get for
such a note the value Of silver its face
calls for in the open market. II in the
changes of silver value there is any loss,
the Government will bear it, as it ought
to. The bill holder, the citizen, is made
absolutely secure, and that is at any rate
most satisfactory.
The present silver dollar is only q
token; it is not money. 1t has served
the purposes Of a token coin just as the
cent has in its field, everybody knowing
there is not a dollars worth of silver or
q cents worth Of copper in the two
coins. A token currency may be useful
so long as it is not redundant, but the
moment it becomes that it becomes mis-
chievous. At the present rate Of coin
ing no one can ~foretell how soon there
will be an oversupply of silver dollar
tokens, and consequent and very serious
financial disorders.
Secretary WINDOWS plan has the great
merit that it removes this danger. IL
stops the coinage of the Bland token
dollar and provides a new currency in
which a dollar bill will represent always
a gold dollars worth Of silver. That is
its merit, and it is a great one.
The proposition will not please those
who want to degrade the currency,
whose aim is to fasten upon the country
a dollar not worth a dollar, not worth
any fixed sum, but worth now perhaps
se~venty.three cents, and luctuating with
every change in the price Of silver.
Whether expedient or not, Secretary
Windows proposition has the merit of
looking to honest money.

Everybody Skeptical, but Much Sage
Speculation Indulged in Seri-

WASHINGTON, March 11.-During tho
past week there has been talk of an early
conyening Of the Fifty-first congress. II
is not unlikely that President Harrison
would call congress together should the
reports from Samoa prove to be correct.
The executive departments have not
yet received anything TO change their
opinions Of yesterday respecting the re-
ported engagement between the German
steamer Olga and the United States
steamer Nipsic at Apia, Samoa. The re-
ports from San Francisco did not create
much excitement at the capital as the
people here who are interested in the
matter are familiar with the fact that.
Geographically speaking. Washington is
nearer than San Francisco to the Samoan
islands.
Editors Of all the principal papers di-
rected their correspondents to interview
public officers on the situation, but there
was nothing but negative matter obtain
able and the situation here cannot change
until some official intelligence is received
al either the state or navy department.
II is known at the latter department.
that four iron clads sailed from Geneva,
Italy. for Samoa some eight or ten days
ago. 1t is expected that these vessels
will require at least sixty days to make
the voyage
Speaking on Samoan affairs a gentle
man familiar with the country and ifa
customs said that if the commander Of
the Olga fired on the Samoan troops from
the harbor of Apia il could only be done
by firing directly over the neutral terri
tory where the Americans live and have
property; that the commander Of the
Nipsic would naturally feel justified, un-
der these circumstances. in protesting,
and IN following the protest, IL disre-
garded, by action, and that his protest
would say that a shot from the Olga over
the neutral territory. endangering the
lives and property Of the Americans,
would he regarded as an act Of hostility
toward this country.
Another reason for making the protest
and following it up would be that he had
received news from this country and
knew what public sentiment here was
He would also know OF the approach Of
Admiral Kimberly with reinforcements.
/ The American naval officers at Apia
have been subjected 10 many humilia-
tiOns and are likely to welcome the op-
portunity 70 revenge themselves They
are men OF spirit and, the fact that the
/ Olga was twice as big as the Nipsic
would, in the opinion OF the gentleman,
| be rather an argument for than against
| the probability Of the report.
