PROF. JAMES A. QUARLEs claims that
we never have had double dollar stand
ard in this country. And a financial
retrospection viii prove that he is correct
when he says that we had a silver dollar
for our standard of value from 1892 to
1884; gold dollar for our standard from
1884 to 1862; a greenbacl dollar for our
standard from 1862 to. 1879, when specie
payments were resumed, and gold dol
lar for our standard from 1879 till now.
We have never, as a matter Of fact, had
double standard of value in actual use in
this country. He then proceeds to eluci-
date a proposition that is really self
explanatory and that ought to be com
prehensible to a child-tha5, while silver
is a useful metal, useful metal for coin,
dollar of it ought to be heavy enough to
be worth a dollar by the highest standard
of value. Bimetallists claim that it is
possible to have two kinds of metallic
mediums of exchange, equally 10 serve as
standards OF value. But Prof. Quarles
holds this to be impracticable. The two
metals, gold and silver, have never for
any length of time borne to each other
the same ratio of value in our brief his
tory. For, he puts it, it is impossible to
find any two substances whose relations
to one another in quantity and utility are
constant. Sometimes one viii be pro-
duced in relatively greater quantities
than the other, and sometimes one Will
be in greater demand than the other
Thus their relative value viii fuctuate.

A RHODE ISLAND belle, once a society
young woman, has, after leading wild
sort of life, married a Chinese cook of
San Francisco. No sympathy should be
wasted upon such cattle. The white
woman who prefers Chinaman for her
husband is well mated when her desire
is consummated. In fact she really has
the best of the bargain.

THE New York Post IN an extended
article expresses the belief-and which
runs parallel with that of the RECORD
UNION several times uttered-that Presi-
dent Harrison VIII welcome the opportu-
nifty to veto free coinage bill. When
the President said, as he did at Albany.
that he believes in giving the people good
money only, and just as much of it as the
Government can wisely afford, he meant,
certainly, that the dollar should be worth
one hundred cents. The silver accumu-
lation at Washington is becoming mount
ainous, and the people in and out of
Washington must very early come to re-
alize that its growth under the stimulus
of artificial purchases by the Government
must end. The regret that is now felt
keenly that the Government by legisla-
ton had year ago or more increased the
purchases is not calculated to help the
free coinage men in their effort to pass a
free silver bill.
