silver as a Circulating Medium.

Under this caption Hon. George S.
Boutwell, discusses the silver question
in the March Forum. We wish to
gather out of this article some of the
statements he makes concerning silver
as money. Our currency is only par
TALLY upon a gold basis. For conven-
ience and economy the currency of a
country should always be of paper. Sill
yer and gold wear and waste. Spurious
coins more easily impose upon the peo-
pie than counterfeit notes and are more
easily produced. A million dollars in
silver weigh 80 tons, and the same am
cunt in gold weighs 1-16th as much.
When silver coins were substituted for
fractional currency it cost the govern
ment not less than $3.50, 900. The use
of paper money depends on the conf
dence the country has in it, and this
confidence depends upon the basis OF
coin upon which these promises rest.
Our gold and silver certificates repres-
ent an equivalent of gold or silver coins
in the U. S. treasury. The difficulty
with us now is, as between gold and
silver, that the extraordinary produc-
ton of silver has lessened its value as
compared with gold. In 1860 a silver
dollar was worth four cents more than
a gold dollar. Since about 1870 the
production of silver has exceeded that
of gold in comparison with the demand
for each in the arts. Experience justi-
fies the opinion that the earth has, rel
atively, more silver than gold, and un-
der an inexorable law, silver comes
more and more into use as the basis OF
our currency. The tendency in this
direction has continued for the lest A
wears until the circulation of gold does
not much exceed $50, 900, 200, while
the circulation of silver is not less than
1910, 100000. During the last II
wears the annual product of the gold
mines of the United States has averag-
ed about s35, 100000. Not less than
$40, 900, 900 of this has been used in
the arts. The balance of s25, ,000,0
was clearly an insufficient increase,
hence the necessity of legalizing the
use of silver or increasing the volume
of greenbaeks. In the future, unless
there be large Increase of gold prod
net silver will gradually become the
chief factor in our currency. Without
reference to the wisdom of particular
measures, the experience of the last ten
wears shows that the use of silver as
means of reinforcing our currency has
been valuable and the least dangerous
that could have been employed. The
difficulty is not so much within ourselves
as in bringing foreign countries to an
agreement with us as to the relative
value of gold and silver for purposes of
trade. Not more than thirty years ago
it would have been considered quite an
achievement to have secured a paper

In order to cure catarrh it is necessary to al

There are some who have the cour-
age to assure us that Apr. / the price
of sugar will drop two cents per pound.
This is on account of the removal of
the duty on sugar under the Mckinley
tariff. 1t is proposed to SO arrange
matters that the entire country can en-
Joy the benefit of the reduction at once.
Now, let us watch and see if sugar goes
down on the first day of April. But
don't anticipate too much, for that day
is known in the calendar as San Fools

South Dakota sends Rev. Mr.. Kyle,
a Congregational clergyman, to the L.
S. Senate. Mr.. Kyle did not seek
greatness but greatness has been thrust
upon him. Last 4th of July he dis
cussed social questions in an Grafton in
such manner as to captivate the farm
ers who listened to him. He was sent
to the State Senate on an Independent
ticket. He goes to the L. S. Senate
as the result of a fusion of democrats
and Independents. If not a man OF
correct political principles, he will be a
man of high moral character, and this
viii be worth something to the Senate.
Mr.. Kyle is, physically, stalwart, be-
ing six feet four in height and weigh
ing over two hundred pounds. He has
been a home missionary. In his new
place it may not beneeessary to change
the direction of his efforts.

Secretary Proctor proposes to enlist
Indians in the United States service.
No doubt this is good scheme. II
the Indians must fight let their fighting
be so arranged as to prove of practical
use. A regiment or two Of Indians could
be stationed near our large cities to
quell labor riots and college rows, and
perhaps assist umpires at base ball
games. There would be a SAVIOR of
aboriginality about this method of do
ing business to say the least.

manufacture money to meet the emer-
gency is equivalent to partial repudia-
ton of the debt. The moral aspect OF
such a course must damage the fnan-
