GOOD MEASURE TO KILL.

Senator Collins, who ought TO be above al
lowing himself to be made the tool oflgnoiance
and demagogism, has introduced bill IN our
Legislature which prohibits the employment OF
machinery in any Of the prisons of Ncw-lork.
1t is amazing that any lawmaler in his senses
who is bent upon doing his duty by the people
and who is familiar is Mr.. Collins must be-
with the recent history Of our prisons, should
consent to father 80 pernicOus a Dill. Inc
Legislature OF 1883 passed measure SIM
liar to the one under consideration, and the
Governor signed it. What was the result?
The Senator knows what it was, and the knowl-
edge ought to have kept him from lending his
name tc any bill which is calculated to dupli-
cate it,
In his annual report for 1889 Mr.. Lathrop
tho Superintendent OF Prisons, bore witness that
under the law Of 1888, commonly known as the
Yates law. the usual industrial operations in the
prisons had been almost wholly suspended, the
prisoners had become dem0ralizcd by the en-
forced idleneSs, while the taxpayers mad been
saddled with the heavy deficit OF S369,2I4 20
the heaviest since 1877. This Yates law pro-
hibited the use Of machinery in the PRISONS ana
in order still further 10 curtall the output OF
these institutions provided that no prison prod
uct should be sold in the open market, custom
crs being limited TO State institutions. well,
this law having proved a disastrous failure from
every point of view, the Legislature Of 1889, in
response to great popular demand addressed
itself TO the prison problem in dead earnest and
what is known as the FasSett law was passed.
Il is under this law that the prisons are now
managed, and it is scarcely too much TO assert
that. all things considered. it is AZ good law
for the government of prisons as could be
framed. Ii does well by the public: it does
well by the prisoner; it reduces to minimum
the competition between free and convict labor.
Doubtless it is not perfect doubtless, too, it Is
not possible to frame u prison policy which
would satisfy everybody. In his last annual
report, submitted Il few weeks ago. Supenn-
tendent Lathrop takes hopeful view of the
future of the prisons under the new law. The
deficiency has been materially reduced, the con-
dition of the prisoners greatly improved Tho
SUPERINTENDENT concludes his report as follows ::

forth in this statement OF the operations and results

UU1T rs FREE COIN1GEf

What is meant by free coinlSe OF silver, GER
tain correspondents ask. Others ask what the
real difference is between free coinage OF silver
and the present process, by which substantially
nil the silver taken from American mines Is
purchased each month and represented by notes
issued.
Free coinage exists when any holder of silver
bulhon can send or take it to any mint and get
for il in coins 81 20 IA for every ounce NO
ROYALTY or scignorage to pay, no cost OF mint
inc. but . benevolent Government bears all the
cyDensc in order that every conner, from near
or from far, American, European or ASatlc
NAV take away bright new United States dol
lars at the rate of one for every 81 Ia grams
of pure silver. Thus free coinage is unlimited
coinage. because Government has no power then
70 determine how much it will take or coin :;
ANYBODY and everybody determines that by
bringing Just what silver he pleases.
independent coinage" says Mr.. Cleveland {;
what did he mean? Apparently this only, that
the United States would enter upon that policy
without concert with any other nation. The
idea in his mind seemed to be that the thing
mgnt be safer if some Of the other great ma
tions were to Join i'll opening their minis to
silver coinage at the same time, but would be
abSurdly reckless and dangerous for the United
States alone.
The pending "Free- Coinage" bill is mis-
homer and a falschOOd in one respect. 1t does
not intend nor provide for actual circulation of
silver con because it is provided that anybody
shall have power to take from the Treasury, in
place OF si!"er bullion not coins at all, but paper
notes, at the rate OF 81 % ii for every ounce
Of silver bullion, and these notes shall circulate
rs full legal tender IN payment of all debts,
public and private. The quantity OF bullion
any one might take to the Treasury under free
coinage in the strict and proper sense would be
limited by the amount OF coined silver dollars
he might be willing to take away and could
find use for. But when a man can take away
legal-tendcr paper instead all limitation is re-
moved. OF coined dollars, after many years OF
anxious efforts by the Treasury, it has been
possible to get into circulation not more than
500. 600. 600 because the people will not carry
around a larger load Of silver. Hence free com
age. in "A strict and proper sense, would soon
sion coinage altogether, because it would soon
come to pass that nobody could get rid of the
silver dollar But unlimited paper, pretending
to be based on silver dollars. can be taken away
