DIRECTOR LEEcH ON SILVER.

Director Leech of the Mint was before
the House Coinage Committee the other
day, and is reported rs saying that "the ex
change value of the silver dollar had been
kept equal to gold mainly by its extensive
coinage by the Government, and because
the Government had not Disseminated in
the payment Of silver" Precisely what Mr..
Leech meant by saying that the Govern
ment had not Disseminated in tile payment
OF silver Is not clear. The Government has
not disseminated in its receipt Of silver. but
has In making payments. 1t is the fact that
the Government receives silver dollars at the
same valuation as gold dollars that has kept
The exchange value of the dollars of the two
metals at parity. During twelve wears the
government has paid its bonds and interest
thereon in gold. II has kept 800. 900 900 in
g0ld as reserve fund for the redemption of
greenbacks. 1t is these facts which render
the Tree coinage Of silver a somewhat baz-
.;ardous policy. To what extent has the
practice of the Government during so long
. period the force Of law? While the
letter OF the law allows the Government TO
pay bonds and gIeenbacks in silver, would
1t be- just to creditors to do so? Under
: tie policy now pursued silver may be used
in paying bonds because silver is inter
changeable with gold. But under free coin
age, until such time as silver bullion rises
TO parity with gold, in the legal ratio, the diff
ference between the commercial value of the

IN the form of a premium on gold Mr..
erch says also that the two metals may be
'alntained at ar By an agreement between

Collector Phelps has sounded a note of
wa.nii 10 the friends of white labor which
nay be- familiar to readers of The CALL,
but is nevertheless in good time. He is in
4oubt whether restriction ends on the 9th of
May, 1892, or at the expiration of the first
amendment to the original act in 1894 In
either case Congress should be up and doing.
II probably is not possible to secure action
from the present Congress, but the Congress
that meets in December should make exclu-
sion one of its first objects. There is
another phase of the exclusion problem
which needs immediate attention. The
Canadian Pacific Railroads. making arrange
mentS. to import Chinese in large numbers.
Atpresent there is no other restriction upon
Chinese immigration into Canada than a $50
head tax. The tax does not keep a single
Chinaman out Dealers in slave labor will
gladly pay the tax and take it out of the
Wages of their chattels after they arrive
he Canadian Pacific understands very well
that nine of every ten Chinese it may land
in Canada will find their way into the United
States. Under these circumstances might
IT nor be well for the American Government
TO give the Canadian Pacific notice that the
transportation Of Chinese will be considered

nations of sufficient commercial Importance.
These nations would agree that silver
should be coined at certain ratio 10 gold,
and that such coin should be full legal
tender in all the nations entering into
the agreement. That is an extension
of the policy of the United States.
The more nations we can include in
such an agreement the sooner silver and
gold Will com together 10 the worlds mar
ket The project of an American monetary
union would be a great step toward the
establishment of the double standard in
Eur ope. With such an increased use of sill
yer as would follow the formation of an
American monetary union silver would
gradually rise in the market until par with
gold was reached.

FROM THE SENATE TO THE WHITE
HOUSE.

The Hill papers are devoting considerable
time TO the work of showing that an election
to the Senate is UNNECESSARILY fatal to Pres
idential aspirations. Numerous instances
are given Of ex-Sena tors who have been
elected Presidents, and two of Senator's
elect who became Presidents. But there
is not a solitary instance of man be-
ing elected from the Senate to the White
House. The list of Presidents who had not
been Senators is longer than that of Presi-
dents who had, and contains more great
names. OF Presidents who had been Sena-
tors, Andrew Jackson and John Quincy
Adams are of the first rank. Martin Van
Buren, and James Buchanan were able
men, but will not take place in history be-
SIDE Washington, Jefferson, Madison, the
eider Adams, Lincoln and Grant, none of
whom had been Senator. 1t may be said.
also. that the most eminent Senators never
became Presidents. Not one of the ten Sem
ators who. after term in the Senate. were
elected TO the Presidency, was an admitted
leader in the Senate. Probably il one of
them had been he would never have re.
celved the Presidential nomination. Mr..

ANOTHER STRONG ONE.

"A Successful Firm Which Attributes Much
of Its Prosperity to "The Herald"
Messrs. Souls d Hensey:
GENTLEMEN: We have few words to say
as to the value of The HERALD as an adver-
tising medium. When we began our boot and
shoe business, in the Atlantic Building, on
September 20, 1888, one of the first things we
did was to insert an advertisement in THE HER
AID Almost Immediately we began to find
that many of the patrons who came to us were
induced to do so by reading this advertisement
Our business has steadily increased, and we
have the best of reasons to believe that this
highly desirable result has been in large de-
gree directly due to the same cause. Naturally
we continued to use THE HERALD's columns in
the effort to still further extend our trade and
the results have abundantly justified our course,
as is shown by the fact that recently we have
taken both the stores in the Atlantic Building
in order to more fully accommodate our pa
irons We regard THE HERALD as the best
medium through which to reach the most desir-
able class Of trade in Washington, and hope to
continue to use its columns in the future with
ever-increasing benefit.
