nually, and treasury notes to be issued
therefor. These are redeemable in
coin, and the treasury muse coin enough
of silver to meet them. According "a
the latest estimates the production of
sllver for last year in the United
states is less than 6o,00O,o 900 ounces
Allowing certain proportion of this
output, perhaps about 10 per cent, for
the arts, then there is very little left
for foreign markets The Sherman act
absorbs the whole native product of
silver in this country, hence, should
the export of the metal continue for q
few weeks the main argument of the
anti-free-coinage fnen would be entirely
set aside. In Europe silver circulates
on par with gold, and is coined in a
ratio of 1515 to of the latter. It seems
unreasonable then to imagine that sill
yer, which is worth over there ST.. 33 an
ounce, could be brought over here and
sold for $1.29. Before any trade in this
line could be effectively accomplished
European nations should actually. re-
construct their coinage system, and
there is very little probability of such
reform. Gold is coming back to the
United States at present to pay for our
products. This shows that after all,
the only way in which the precious
metals can go from one country to an
other is in settlement of trade bal
ances, and notify trading in the metals
themselves. The country which con-
tinues to export more than it imports
will evidently possess the largest
quantity of both gold and silver. It
must, however, not be forgotten, that
by means of American tourists great
deal of gold leaves this country yearly.
for which there is no reciprocal trade.
European tourists do not to CORE
spending extent visit this country; hence
the balance of gold in this line is
against us. If fAmerican pleasure-seek-
ers and sight-seekers would spend their
holidays in Colorado, Utah, Alaska and
California, then part of the gold ques-
ton would be settled.-Peoria (nL)

The enemies of the sub-treasurv

the peoples party to lose votes in

mitting for arguments sake that that
is true, how are the gains made by the

to be accounted for with the same issue
before the people? The sub-treasury
people can as fairly claim that issue as
a cause for increase of votes as the en-
cmies of the plan can base losses upon
it. The truth is the sub treasury has

An Ang1o.Saxon Holiday.

The English speaking peoples may,
we think, properly claim Christmas
as peculiarly an Anglo-Saxon holi-
day. 1t is true that it is also fes-
tiyal of the Christian church, but it
is easily demonstrated that a sim
liar festival-without the religious
elements-was observed by the Ger
manic tribes long before the Roman
legions crossed the Alps. In fact, it
would seem that Christmas was not
originated by the church, but that
the priesthood adopted the feast
day, remodeling it to serve as a We
hicle for religious ideas, and turning
it's generous and social spirit to ac-
count in the service of the church.

terest on this debt is $77o, ,ooo,o 900, or
$12 per capita, or over $50 for each
voter. If Washington, Jefferson,
Franklin and their compatriots had
agreed to pay the English aristocracy
one-half this annual per capita
tax, would there have been any
revolution? Common sense fur
nishes the answer. The de-
mands made on us by England in
1774 were small when compared with
this great sum, yet, by some means, we
have put ourselves in far worse posi-
ton than were our forefathers They
rebelled and conquered, but we have
no alternative but legislation. It is

protect us What have they done?
They have sold us to foreign capitalists
and we can't help ourselves. The
passage of the national banking act

1t is probable that President Polk has
rather over estimated the rate of inter-

OF interest at five per cent it makes the
