Aaia.
Brazil and the Argentine Republic
have the gold standard nominally, but
the actual currency is legal tender paper.
Turkey and Persia have the gold stand
ard nominslly, butnot in fact, the actual
currency being gold and silver coins.
Within few months Turkey has COM
menced the Issue of legal tender govern
ment paper.
Africa has considerable population,
but, outside of Egypt and Cape Colony,
its relation TO coinage or legal standards
Is triAing and unimportant. Both of the
precious metals are recognized as money
among the peoples inhsbiting it, who
have special preference for the silver
dollar, the coin which centuries Of use
have made most familiar to them.
In the non-enumerated countries of
Asia silver Is the metal In general use,
and some Of them, as Siam, Burmsh and
the Dutch colony Of Java, have popu-
latlons which are considerable, although
small in comparison with the population
of India and China.
In Spain royal decree was Issued in
the summer of 1876, interdlcting the
coinage of silver except on government
account. This decree also declared It to
be the intention of the government to
limit the legal tender function OF silver
to $50 pesetds, or about $28, after It had
and coined a sufficient amount
Of gold to make it practicable to do 30.
The pesetG and franc are equivalents in
value. The reason assigned for this in
tentlon was the depreciation of silver
relatively to gold. The price Of silver in
London was at about It's lowest point
when this decree was Issued. What in |
1uence the subsequent advance in It's
price In that market may have on the
policy Of Spain 10 uncertain.
In Holland silver was the sole stand
ard until 1916. In that year the double
standard was adopted with the legal re-
alton between the metals of 1873 to /,
which underValued silver and practically |
Danished 1t from the circulation. In
lS47 silver was again adopted as the sole
standard, not In consequence of the dis
,overy of gold in California, but just be-
fore that event. The principal reason
assigned by the statesmen Of Holland
Tor this change in 1S47 was, that It had
proved disastrous to the commercial and
interests Of Holland to have
\ money system Identical with that Of
England, whose financial revulsions,
after its adoption of the gold standard had
been more frequent and more severe than
IN any other country, and whose injurious
effects were felt in Holland scarcely less
han In England. They maintained that
;he adoption of the silver standard would
prevent England from disturbing the in
;ernal trade of Holland by draining of
ts money during such revulsionS, and
would secure immunity from evils which
lid not originate In and for which Hol-
and was not responsible. In 1875 law
vas passed interdiCting the coinage Of
diver except on government account, and
for an unrestricted gold coin
Ige, with unlimited legal tender func-
ions at q legal relation between the
metals of 1904 to l.
This law was avowedly provisional,
md was to expire January l, 1877, unless

Euloincd Against Rainmakinv

To the Rocky Mountain News.
Being constant reader OF your paper,
and having seen good many articles on the
artificial rain question, the last of which
was from Frank Melbourne, l would like,
In measure, to reply to him through the
columns OF the News.
No inventor has yet reached that point
where he can "wrap the drlpeFy Of his
couch about him and lie down to pleasant
dreams confident that his inventions will not
DO equaled or improved upon" The best
men Of all ages have met their equals and
lost sight OF In this progressive age by un-
known persons. This being fact, Is there
anything strange that others should know
as mueS, or more, than Mr.. Melbourne,
about the making Of rain. do not desire
to pose upon as a champion Of Mr.. A. b.
Montgomery, whom, Mr.. Melbourne saws,
he "will not stop to rec0g0nize," or any
OF the rain companies here. / am not in any
way connected with them, but know that
the Interstate Artificial Rain COM
pany, the Swisher Rain COM
pany and the GOOdand Rain company, as
we'll as myself, are In full possession OF the
Melbourne secret, and that Mr.. Melbourne
knows this to be so.
H., OF course, would DENY this, his reason
for 80 doing being very plain. The fact still
remains that these companies have been
very successful IN more than thirty differ

Ar a meeting of the state central
committee of the republican. party of
Kansas, nc Topeka, last week, George
7. Anthony proposed that the re.
publicans of the state be voted in
"blocks Of twenty" instead of
"bloCks of Eve" He also proposed
that there be called q state conven-
ton of republican editors and that
they be interdicted not to make filings
at the Mckinley tariff bill. He ad.
viSed that a bureau be established to
write editorials for the republican
press of the state to appear in all
papers simultaneously, aud that they
be paid by the central committee
campaign fund for composition and
insertion. He proposed thus to
muzzle the press. This proposition
needs no comment.

he was elected district attorney Of

for elk years. He then edited the

was elected az an independent re-

Men Disguised with the old parties
were even then organizing q new

dent. Excluding doubtful and fusion
tickets he received 307,750 votes.
He then resumed private life and

by holding the house in a deadlock

garding the Oklahoma reservation.
Even then he was regarded as sort
of st ,rmy petrol in politics, not a
republican. In his first campaign
he scarcely had the backing Of any
party, and his nomination was, in
the politicians phrase, "decidely IT.

feated one Of the grandest republi-
