LET HIM TRAVEL.


HARRISON will probably break the
record as presidential traveller and
speechmaker. In the latter role he
must be credited with much alertness in
adaptation and general felicity of eX-
preston, covering what he would give
to party with a film of patriotism. 1t is
i'm material whether his meanderings
are timed to promote individual ends or
not; he need offer no apology, as he
seems to DO at times, for travelling
about. No serious criticism is likely to
be had in any considerable quarter over
his industry as a traveller, although
opinions expressed are proper subjects
of comment. A letter written by JEFF
FERsON when he was president has
been reproduced, declining to visit
Vermont, and expressing the opinion
that the president should be in his
Off ce at Washington during his term
OF service. So far as attention to the
details of the position are involved, the
situation is changed by the use of the
telegraph. Important matters can be
acted upon as well while the president
is in Vermont as in Washington. Then
travel is rapid and pleasant. as it was
not in JEFFERSON's time. 1t is much
easier to find objection to long journeys
n stage coaches than the palace car
transit of the present. But JEFFERSON
had some ideas that would not find COM
Portable quarters in the White house
under this administration. He was re-
markable, even in his time, for his abey-
auce of self. He would not 90 about
among the people, lest he might seem
to be looking for personal popularity
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. 1t would have
shocked his senslbilities to have it
thought he was going about to stimu-
late a popular sentiment that would give
him further lease Of power. It's prob
able that his rare sense of prOpriety
would have prompted him to declare
that he would not accept another term
of Office before he took general tours of
the states a little in advance OF the
meeting of the nominating conventions.
If there is any criticism of the journey
ings of Mr.. HARRISON, it grows out of
the fact that he is an aSpirant for re-
election, and may be presumed to be
making a canvass to that end. But it is
not worth while to press that point or
insist upon his adoption of the ideas of
one SO alien to him in purposes and sem
timents as Mr.. JEFFERSON. Let it be
regarded as a good thing for president
to go about among the people. 1t af-
fords a pleasant show to the populace,
and enlarges the information of the
president. HARRISON would perhaps
do well to travel all the time.

SILVER AND GOLD.

1t is.very hard to talk with an advo-
cate of either a gold standard or a silver
standard without being overwhelmed
with the complexities and difficulties of
this currency problem. The silver men
seem to have the idea that if free coin
age should prevail there would be more
money IN circulation, and somehow ev-
erybody would have more. That is,
they believe in silver because they
think it would make them rich. The
gold men say that the free coinage of
silver would mean the purchase by the
government of the output of all TIT
mines of the world at price above its
fair market value. They think that it
would not be just for the state to pay
premium on one commodity and not on
another. According to their method of
reason, it would be as sensible for the
government to buy all the potatoes or
all the wheat in the market at an in
fiated figure as TO permit the coinage Of
- cents worth of silver into dollar.
Both of these views are arrant non
sense, and one is as nonSensical as the
other. The Minneapolis Tribune, with
its Characteristic economic ignorance
and Observation-Disclosures elaborated this
position of the gold advocates the other
morning at great length. 1t said that
the government was now doing all that
It ought TO for the owners of silver
mines. 1t bought their stuff at its mar
ket value, and coined it into an honest
dollar. But what they wanted, the Trib
une said. was to have the government
buy their stuff. not at its market value,
but at twenty-five cents above its mar
ket value for coinage into dollars. This,
it declared, was more than the people
could afford to give, and it insisted that
silver miners and silver spectators
should stand on a level with the farm
ers, manufactures and merchants of
America. and receive from the govern
ment for their products the fair market
price.
More error could not be cOndense d
into one editorial than this. As the
currency laws of the country now
stand, the government buys rs cents
worth of silver and shapes it into a
coin which it calls dollar. 1t pays it
out as dollar, and DEGREES that it shall
circulate as such. 1t makes % cents by
the operation on each dollar, but the
currency it provides IS not an honest
currency. 1t is fiat money, with no
more Of the intrinsic qualities OF true
money than greenbacks would have.
Its value depends on the governments
promise TO redeem it in gold, on de-
mand; but there is every objection to
IL which there is to paper currency
backed by nothing but the pledge of
the government. Besides, its volume is
not regulated to meet the necessities
of business, but Is fixed by conventional
and senseless rules. No more than a
maximum can be coined in each month,
no matter how much is needed, and a
certain amount must be coined, even
though there is a demand for none.
The mind of man could not devise a
more foolish or dangerous currency
| than our present silver money.

WHAT ARE THEY WORTH?

In his discourse yesterday mo rning,
melted by his recent visit to Chinatown
in San Francisco, DIR. SMITH. of the
Peoples church, adverted to the pub
lished statement that it costs $4,000 to
convert a native in China, without
vouching for the figures. Whether the
result is compensatory was not directly
indicated, but his valuation of the
'Heathen Chinee" as a constituent In
the mundane elements was evidently
low. 1t was, however, intimated that
financial computations are quite legiti-
mate, and expenditures should bear
some relation to results. Efforts to
elevate and evangelize the heather have
the highest Christian authority and
impulse, but it is one of the
peculiarities of the situation that
same who would indorse large Outiays
for converting pigtail in China would
shut the door in his face if he should
follow his conyerterS to this country.
DR.. SMITH would exclude him as spe-
cies degrading to the white race, too
thrifty and too vicious. The emphasis
he gave home mission work in contrast
did not indicate that he would invest
$4,000 in the regeneration of the aver
age Chinamah in this country, but
meant that the dollars had better go to
the reclamation of white people, if the
fractional currency were invested in the
Chinese mission. The mathematical
phase of the question is, if souls are
of equal value. the money should
be invested where the returns would
be mast numerous. Taking $4,000
as the cost of converting one China
man, would not the same expenditure
in any American city fill the spiritual
harvest withat least a hundred souls of
white or black persons? Then, what
ever might be the relative valuation IN
another world, it is to be presumed that
in local and present effects the scale
tips heavily homeward. Then the fact
is palpable that these home heathens
90 abroad aud are perhaps more effect
i've missionaries because they are not
professional lights, and they knock out
the seed sown at the $4,000 rate. Per
haps the money would go further
abroad if the converting work were first
made more effective at home. But the
question may be left for adept elucida-

RILL. When he wants to learn of the
existence and nature of raging sinshe
goes in person where sin is raging,
notebook in hand, and his harangues
are picturesque and piping hot with the
details of his own experience. If these
details are not correct, he holds himself
responsible, because he is his own au-
thority. Mr.. MORRILL, went ''Slum-
ming" lately. and ON his return he I'M
burdened himself to a newspaper re-
porter. He spoke with much severity
of a number of saloons, and character
lied them as gambling places and houses
of designation. The proprietor of one
of those which he thus attacked took eX-
ception to his criticism. and has denied
that his establishment is center either
for gambling or prostitution. He has
done more than this. He has had his
reverend detractor arrested on the
charge of criminal libel.
This fate will probably not hurt Mr..
MORRILL, very much, if he has any posi-
ton and following in the community.
1t may be quite true that he has gone
too far in his structures; but saloon,
even without gambling or asslgnation
attachment, is difficult concern to
defend. and the man who keeps one
runs the risk of having hard thin gs
said about him. 1t would be bet
ter for Minneapolis and better for
st. Paul if there were no bars
in either of them. The drinking
habit is a bad one for the health, the
pocket and the character of the people
who indulge in it. Very reputable men
do take cocktails between meals, and do
lOiter about the entrance of liquor stores,
exchanging the cOurteSies of the season
with their friends. But it is not the
wisest or safest habit they have. and
they are playing with fire. Half-fuddled
gentlemen achieve a good deal some
times, even when they are in this condi-
ton, but they also sometimes make eX-
pensive and disastrous blunderS, simply
because they haven't their wits about
them. A good many fortunes have
faded away in follies induced by irregu-
lar and excessive tipping. A good
many regulations have been lost in fol-
lowing the suggestions of a whisky

Zens 90 into saloons, but they are also
headquarters for criminals, bruisers and
loafers. They cannot escape the conse-
quences of their character. There are
shades Of disreputability about them,
but they are all bad to some degree.
Mr.. MORRILL,, if ne is usually careful
and well-balaneed man, will only be
made martyr, even if he is convicted
of having spoken too harShly of one Of
them.

FREE COINAGE.

Now, if there were free coinage, the
government would not buy the output
of the silver mines at a fictitious price,
as the Tribune is absurd enough to
think. The government would not buy
any silver at all. Every man who had
silver would take it to the mint himself
and have it stamped. Congress would
settle how many grains of silver should
make dollar, and whoever presented
the requisite amount to the government
officials would be entitled. as matter
of right, TO carry it away again with the
Goddess of Liberty emblazoned on the
one side and the American eagle on the
other. Having it in his pocket, he could
then do what he pleased with it. He
could hoard it or he could buy things
with it, but he could not buy
bit more than anybody chose
to give him for it. If it had so little in
trinsic value that the man who would
now sell a yard of cloth for a gold dollar
would only give half yard for it, no
more could be got for it. The silver ad
vocates claim that. even if the number
of grains in a dollar were not increased
over what it is at present, free coinage
would so enlarge the demand for the
metal that its purchasing power would
be as great as is that of the gold dollar,
which is now the standard. They may
be mistaken in this; but if they are,
mine owners would get no higher price
for their stuff than they do to-day. The
only difference would be that, instead
of selling it to the government. they
would sell it direct to people who would
give them in exchange for it grain and
clothes and the other commodities
which they wanted to buy.
If a silver dollar coined under this
plan were of the same value as a gold
dollar, they would circulate side by
side. If the silver dollar were less val
liable intrinsicallY than gold dollar, it
would not purchase as much, and gold
would be boarded and cease to circu-
late. The gold men say that this would
be a calamity, but even granting this to
be true, we should have to weigh
against it the advantage of having Sc
cured machinery for the automatic in
tiation of the circulating medium in
Here would be great gain
over the present system. But the
silver men say that even with
gold driven out of use, We should be
better off than we are at present. They
say that both gold and silver fluctuate
in value, but that gold is constantly
growing searcer and becoming more
valuable. A stable currency is very
desirable thing, but they hold that no
currency is worse than one which is
daily getting dearer, because it reduces
the returns of the owner of every other
commodity, and mades him the slave of
the gOldbug. There .is a good deal in
this, and, while it is not conclusive of
the matter, it shows at once how COM
plicated and difficult is the question,
and now there are many sensible things
to be SAID in reply to the advocates of
single standard. whether it be gold Or
| silver.

A HUNJANE FIELD.

Denver is a considerably smaller city
than st. Paul, but as the metropolis of
a mining state, it would be presumed
that most avocations are better paid
than in other communities. A recent
report Of the state commissioner of
labor gives the number of girls under
eighteen years of age in Denver en-
ployed in retail establishments, fact
cries, laundries and similar lines. They
form considerable army, but, no
doubt, much smaller than will be found
in st. Paul, The notable statement is
that even in the silver-mining capital
the earnings of these girls do not aver
age more than S. per week. 1t is not
presumed that in any city the reward
of this class of workers are greater.
Most of them, no doubt. have board
bills to meet, and all the expense of
living. Take out even the lowest rates
Obtainable, then add clothing, pin
money, car fare and other expenses if
there is any money left, and what
financiers these girls must be to live de-
Gently. Life is constant struggle with
them, and it is not surprising that at
times the persuasive voice of gilded
temptation beckons away to luxury and
ruin here and there; but it is useless to
berate those who pay the small wages.
They act on business, not sentimental
principles. The good ladies of wom-
ans humane association in Denver
have been moved to erect homes fol
these girls, where they can live comfort
ably and safely on their meager earn
ings. There is field of this kind moi
fully occupied in any city of which there
is Information.
