the discretion, given by law to increase the
was enacted FEB. 20, 1889 the price of silver
was $40 40 per OUNCE making the bullion
value of the dollar 93 cents. Since that time
the price has fallen as low as Oh cents per
ounce, reducing the bullion value of the dollar
10 100 cents. Within the last few months the
Noy. l, last, the bullion value of the silver
dollar was ~ cents. The evil anticipations
which have accompanied the coinage and use
of the silver dollar have not been realized. AS
a coin IL has not had general use. and the pub
lie treasury has been compelled to store it. But
this is manifestly owing TO the fact that its pa
per representative is more convenient. The
general acceptance and use of the silver certih-
cate show that silver has not been otherwise
discredited.
Danger in Free Coinage.
Some favorable conditions have contributed
to maintain this practical equality in their
commercial use, between the gold and silver
dollars. But some OF these are trade conditions
that statutory enactments do not control and

hasty examination, owing to the press of other
matters and to the fact that It has been so
recently formulated. The details of such q

SOME REFLECTIONS ON THE TARIFF.
Prompt But Very Considerable Legislation
Called for.

1t is fortunate that such use can be made
of the existing surplus and for some time to
come of any casual surplus that may exist
after congress has taken the necessary steps
for a reduction of the revenue. Such legisla-
ton, should be promptly, but very conside.
our tariff law, both in its administrative feat
ures and in the schedules. The need of the
former is generally conceded and an agree
ment upon the evils and inconvenience to be
remedied and the best methods for their cor
rection will probably not be difficult. Uni
formity of valuation at all ou- ports is essen
to secure it, 1t is equally rable that ques-
ton affecting rates and classifcations should
be promptly decided.
A Delicate Matter to- Tackle.
The preparation of a new schedule of customs
duties is q matter of great delicacy, because
of its effect upon the business of tue country,
of great difficulty, by reason of the wide di-
yergence of opinion as to the objects that may
be promoted by such legislation. Some dis
turbanca of business may perhaps result from
consideration of this subject by congress, but
this temporary ill-effect will be reduced to a
minimum by prompt action and assurance
which the country enjoys that any necessary
changes will be so made as not to impair the
just and reasonable protection OF our home
industries.
The Protective Principle.
Thu irregularities of the law should be adj
justed, but the protective principle should be
maintained and fairly applied to the products
of our farms as well as our shops. These du-
besides the public revenues. We cannot
limit their effect by fixing our eyes on the
pubic treasury alone. They have a direct re-
lation to home production, to work, to wages
and to the commercial Independence of our
country; and the wise and patriotic legislator
should enlarge the field of his vision to in
clude all of these.
Taxes on Tobacco and Spirits.
The necessary reduction in our public reve-
nueS can. am sure, be made without making
the smaller burden moro onerous than the
larger by reason of the disabilities and limi-
tation which the process of reduction puts
upon both capital and labor. The fres list
can very safely be extended by placing thereon
articles that do not offer injurious COMPETE
ton to such domestic products as our home
labor can supply The removal of the inter-
nal tax upon tobacco would relieve an impor-
tant agricultural product from burden
which was imposed only because our revenue
from customs duties was insufficient for the
public needs IL safe provision against fraud
can be devised the removal of the tax upon
spirits used in the arts and In manufactures
would also offer an unobjectionable method or
reducing the surplus.

With Few Remarks Upon the Silver
Question.
A table presented by the secretary of the
treasury, showing the amount of money OF all
kinds in circulation each year from 1873 to the
present time Is of interest. 1t appears that
the amount of national bank notes in circula-
ton has decreased during that period STA, lO9,-
TO of which sJ7,;992s9 is chargeable to the
last year.
Withdrawal of Bank Notes.
The withdrawal of bank circulation will
tons. Il Is probable the Adoption Of the sug-
gestions made by comptroller of the currency,
viz: that the minimum depo.i of bonds for
the establishment of banks be reduced, and
that an issue Of notes to the par value of the
bend, be allowed, would help to maintain the
bank circulation, but while this withdrawal
OF bank notes has been going on there has
been large increase in amount of gold and
silver coin in circulation and In the issues Of
gold and silver certificates.
Total Amount in Circulation.
The total amount of money of all kinds in
circulation on March 1, 1873, was $685., 793, S07,
while on Oct. I, 1889, the total was 81 600
There was an increase of $293, Az ,552 in gold
and Of So, 100 in standard silver dollars, Of
Silver certificates, and of $H, 073 Isl in United
States notes, making a total of S7l3916, 403.
There was during the same period decrease Of
S1l4, I'D in bank circulation and of S642, 4S1
In subsidiary silver. The net increase was
S589, 24 1913. The circulation per capita has in
creased about five dollars during the time COW

A Three-Cornered Conference Decides
That the Case Is Good.
Ex-Mayor Gilbert Collins, Corporation
Counsel William Brinkerhof and Cor.
poration Attorney Roberick B. Seymour
held a conference yesterday regarding the
legal aspects of the controversy between
the old aud new city governments over
the new charter.
After several hours spent in considering
all the salient features of the arguments
advanced against the constitutionality OF
the charter, and the alleged Illegal method
in which it was placed before the people
for ratification, the trio concluded that
the measure and the proceedings We're
sufficiently defective to give good grounds
for a contest.
Pursuant to this conclusion the Board
OF Finance will hold a meeting tomorrow
morning to arrange for the preliminaries
OF its fight against the new law.
To date Mayor Cleveland has ignored
completely the action of the Board of FL
nance in appointing Messrs. Brinkerhoff
and Seymour to succeed Messrs. Blair and
Hudspeth. That the only recognition he
will give the appointments will be shown
in a veto of the resolution fixing the sal
aries of the new officials is not questioned.
