THE daily Russell Harrison perhaps
could avoid the painful duty of boycott
ting republican officials for reading DEM
ocratic newspapers, if it would occasion
ally serve them with the honest news.
For instance, the significant feature of
the Ohio state convention on Tuesday
was the wild enthusiasm for Blaine.
The most pregnant paragraph in the
Associated press report, which was
served to the Journal and The INDIE
PENDENT alike, was the following:
AT the conclusion of his address, Nevin
said: And at the right hand of the presi-
dent stands a man who, for keen judgment
and devotion to American interests and
American progress, is the peer of
any man who ever lived. who
lives to-day, or ever will live, James G.
Blaine.' The name of Blaine was never
heard by the convention. Little by little
as the petoration reached it's height the au-
dience caught the infection, and from a
general hand-clapping the applause devel-
oped into one mighty roar that shook the
building. Men shouted themselves hoarse
and women waved their fans. while a thou
sand voices over and over again repeated in
musical chorus. Blaine! Blaine! Blaine"
The republican officials, and other
people, who wanted to know the senti.
ment of that convention, had to read

rison's newspaper suppressed it.

1t will be s3en that Australia leads i'll
the quantity of gold in circulation per
capita. France comes next, and then
follow in order the United Kingdom,
Egypt, the United States and Belgium.
France loads as regards the per capita
circulation Of silver. Next comes the
Netherlands, and then in order Belgium,
the United States and Spain. Russia,
Austria Hungary, Greece, Japan and
Mexico have n~oticeably small amounts
of gold in proportion to the population.
Russia's proportion Of silver is also no.
ticeably small. Japan, the Scandinavian
Union (Sweden, Norway and Denmark)
and Canada have also small proportions
OF silver.
These figures show that we are far
from the danger of imitation and that
when the vastness Of our territory and
rapid increase in population are CON
sidered we are really more restricted in
our circulating medium than most coun,
tries.

THE WORLDS COINAGE.

From the report OF the deputy master
of the British mint it appears that there
was an actual decrease in the worlds
coinage in 1890, the total of all the mints
being G56, 100000 or nearly s9%2,25o,ooo
less than in the previous year. Some
exceedingly interesting analyses Of the
tables in this report are made by
Bradstreet's, from which it appears that
Germany coined no silver, neither did
Switzerland. On the other hand, Hol-
land and China coined no gold. The
amount of silver coined by China is not
stated. The leading gold coming III
tries were Great Britain. Australia,
Germany, the United States, Russia and
Spain. The leading silver coming
tries, on the other hand, were the United
States, India, Mexico, Great Britain,
Japan and Spain. China is here X
cluded, owing to the want Of STATISTICS.
Coming to increases and decreases in
detail as compared with the preceding
year, it appears that while the United
coined a greater number of pieces than
in the preceding year the value OF the
coinage was somewhat less, being $780,
254,437 in 1890, as compared with $780,
965,93O in the preceding year. The value
of the gold coinage was s22,02l, 74S and
that of the silver coinage s36,S15,S37.
The gold and silver coin in circulation
in the United State on July l, 1890, was
S1,O76, 1920, as compared with S1,024,-
172,S46 on the corresponding date of the
preceding year. In Great Britain there
was a large demand for silver coin last
year. There was a considerable increase
in the work of the Calcutta and Bombay
mints. At Bombay 74,553,O00 roupees
were coined, or 12,205,000 more than in
the preceding year. The coinage exc
cuted at the German minis in 1890 fell
off as compared with that of the pre-
ceding year. There was little change in
The amount executed at the Paris mint.
Belgium coined no money in 1890. In
Vienna the coinage Of copper fell off
very largely. In Russia there was an
increase in the coinage of money of all
denominations except copper coins.
The net increase as compared with the
preceding year was 4,276,071 roubles.
The olnage of gold alone was ~3,72O,06O
roubles greater han in the preceding
year. The coinage of gold in Sweden
and Denmark was large considering the
population. In Sweden the issue of sill
YER was considerable. At the Neither
lands mint there was no gold struck,
and the minor coinage was not consider
able. In the Portuguese mint there
was a decrease in the total coinage exc
cuted as compared with that of the pre-
ceding year. The value of the gold
coins, however, vas greater than for sew
eral years past.
But the figures that will most worry
the enemies of silver, who are never
tired Of reiterating the statement that
we are in danger of having an unduly
inflated currency, are contained in the
table just published by the London
Financial Times, showing the per capita
of GOLD and silver in the different coun-
tries Of the world as follows:
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-06-18

read of his forty days. fast at New York
in 1880, and the repetition Of it in Min
neapolis IN 1887, laid their digits ton
derby by the side OF their nasal organs,
and whispered with a leering smile that
this was still another way of raking in
the dollars. 1t is terrible that a good
man should be so misjudged by his fell
lows. The doctor was laboring for the
regeneration OF the world. TO this one
end were directed all his researches and
sufferings, his trials and his conclusions.
And now he lifts away the veil in the
Kansas City Times. We are what we
are because we are OF meat.
From an animal diet come forth anarch-
lists, fighters, quarrelers, murderers,
drunkards. and each and every one OF
the human species that defileth the
name of man. We are tho creatures OF
II stomachs, and until we return to u
vegetarian diet non will go wrong II
princes will play baccarat, though pres.
byteries thunder out their tiercest de-
nunciations, and convocations labor
with the erring brother. Away with our
c~arnivorous practices, and soon wings
will be sprouting on human shoulders,
and the peace of the primitive times will
return.
1t is a pleasing picture. But with
the imbecility that ~characterizes
the average reformer the doctor has
made a bad choice of a scene OF action.
The reformer is seldom anything it not
impractical. He begins by getting a
fair-sized "bee in his bonnet" 1t buzzes
away until the head begins to swell,
and soon the noise of that Insignificant
little insect entirely outclashes every
other terrestrial sound, and ruins the
common sense of it's victim. Why should
the doctor have chosen Kansas City for
the new revelation? We admit the
force of all his historical arguments.
We bow to the might of Samson, and
we have a dim recollection that the doc
tors affidavit is true and that the great
mans maternal relative abstained from
porterhouse steaks and a meat diet gen
orally. We had a notion-we were in
error, and we admit it-that the giants
hair had something to do with his phe-
nomenal strength, but the doctor says
no, and no it is. We are grateful for
the Information about the Essenes, and
we regret to learn that the Masonic fra
ternity in the west has fallen away from
the vegetarian habits of the early order.
But we return to our old complaint,
and we repeat why Kansas City? What
is to become of the succulent hog and
the tender, luscious ranch beef that find
their ready market in Kansas City? 1t
is a grave mistake. As we'll preach the
virtues Of a low tariff to a Pennsylvania
manufacturer, or the benefits OF terra
tirma to the trout you have just landed.
We respectfully advise the doctor to
transfer his religion and his advertise
ment thereof to Helena. We have a
beef combine here. Prices are away up,
and the doctors theory will bring him
the blessings of every economical house
keeper in town.

The action of the irrigation congress
in adopting resolutions favoring the ces-
sion Of arid lands to the stetes, under
certain restrictions, is highly importa Mt.
as il probably foreshadows the decision
OF congress in this matter next winter.
The practical agreement of the states
west OF the Mississippi upon this policy
will insure it's adoption, and we believe
such disposition Of the public domain
will be best for the whole people. It
has long been apparent that the people
outside of the arid belt would never con-
sent to the appropriation OF money from
the public treasury for constructing ir-
rigating systems and those who contend
that it is the duty of the general govern
ment to improve these lands are battling
in a hopeless cause. Let the lands go
to the states under the plan outlined by
tho Salt Lake congress, and the people
most interested will solve the irrigation
problem. r.
