NATIONS MAKE AND UNMAKE MONEY.
Contention that America Would he the
SILVER Dumping Ground.
After reviewing the history Of modern
monetary changes and making the decla-
ration that the consent of nations makes
and unmakcs money, the minority states
that the only escape from single silver
dollar standard under the Bland bill is an
immediate and permanent elevation of the
price of sill yer bullion to the price repre-
sented by the ratio o 16 TO l between sill
yer and gold. This price, it is stated, is
81 .2914 per ounce. The minority argues
that the Bland bill will bring silver from
foreign countries. The United States, it
says is the only source of supply to
Europe. and our gold, by virtue of the
bill, becomes available to take the place
OF unstable silver.
What the Problem Involves.
The free coinage problem is not, there
fore, the minority holds, one that concerns
"the mere trifie of superfiuous bullion or
| the annual product of the mines, but it
involves probable action by every nation
in continental Europe to DISPOSE of its sill
Yer in exchange for gold vnen any mar
ket shall offer such exchange" Silver COM
ing from abroad would, it is held, destroy
the gold standard, and i'll connection with
this the minority says: with what gold
would ourfgovernment then meet the sill
yer bulliohef France, which would be sent
here to be exchanged for gold at the ratio
of 16 to l? HEven if the law confers upon
the secretary of the treasury authority to
borrow gold for such purpose any sec
retary who should exercise this right to
meet the hundreds of millions which
France alone might demand would be
driven from his place by an indignant peo-
pie.
Bring rs to the Level of India.
There can be no doubt that the only al
tentative for our government would be the
refusal to pay gold and the payment of
creditors in silver coin. With this act the
adoption OF the silver standard is COM
plete and we stand upon the monetary
plane of India and China After arguing
that legislation has failed to raise the
price of silver, the minority comments on
the effects of silver standard in the fol-
lowing language: "The adoption of the
single standard, then, would place the
dollar unit at once at the mercy of the
silver bullion markst, and obligations now
outstanding, incurred upon the gold basis,
would be payable in a deprecated silver
dollar worth only what the world should
think it to be wcrth at given point of
time.
Means Partial Reputation.
"Thus to dcpreciate our standard of pay
nents is clearly partial repudiation and un-
quahfiedly dishonest and fraudulent. The
second section of the bill reported by the ma
| jority of the committee is a confession that
the purpose of the bill is to place the
United States upon silver monometallic
standard. To those who are willing to ac-
cept a silver standard in this country
which must involve degrees of repudia-
tion of existing obligations, there can be
no answer made except that it is dis
honest and fraudulent; and from such q

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The report of the
minority members of the committee on
coinage, weights and measures against
the passage of the Bland free coinage bill.
Is signed by Tracey of New York. TavIor
of Illinois, Stone of Pennsylvania. Will
Jams of Massachusetts and johnson of
North Dakota. The minority reviews the
silver question, protests vigorously against
the Bland bill and recommends the passage
OF measure authorizing the president to

lines of the Bland bill developlits true pur-

says, TO demonstrate that the compulsion

the creditor a cheaper and debased dollar
Few debtors will pay 100cents to discharge

coin note which will be redeemable in
gold so long as we maintain both metals
in circulation at the fixed ratio.
We shall never openly repudiate our debts
or corrupt the medium of payment; the
danger lies in legislation such as this bill
proposes, which shall make the govern
ment unable to maintain its promises and
tokens on the basis upon which they have
been accepted
Dollar that Doesn't Change.
THAT basis is the dollar which is
chaugeable nowhere, exchangeable every
where; which does not give up 80 cents at
our border, nor yield anything to fire or
water-the dollar OF gold" The minority
contends that the bill must precipitate a
silver standard and maintains that the eff
feet of the bill will be athat the mints Of
this country shall receive all the silver
which may be sent from any quarter for
coinagei into dollars. The minority of
this committee submit that the only posi-
BILE result of the legislation proposed in this
bill is the prompt suspension of gold pay
ments by this government and the imme-
diste adoption of the cheaper monetary
standard of silver"

What n BAD Digestion Docs.

\ doctor has been comparing the state of
mind of a man before dinner and after who
suffers from indigestion. Before dinner
the patients thoughts are something of
this kind:
What a jolly thing life is! How grand
it is to breathe the pure air, to revel in the
glorious sunshine, to laugh and be merry.
With friends all around, prosperous fu-
ture before one, all ones hopes and plans
turn out well. 1t may safely be said
that we live in a good country, and that
life is the most enjoyable state imagina-
BILE"
But after dinner, when the salmon and
the cucumber and the lobster salad have
Jegun to do their deadly work, the same
man thinks something like this:
Life is a fraud. Those who say life is
worth living are humbugs We go about
the world with a heavy load of care, and
from morning till night our time is spent
in battling with new annOyances. Bills
pour in on every side, failure stares us in
the face, every cherished hope is dashed to
the ground Bah! The whole thing is

4 Miniature Nolcano.

One of the curiosities of this country-a
curiosity that does not appear in the his
tores-is the burning mine at Summit
Hill, near Mauch Chunk, Pa. 1t has been
on fire since 1858, and no scheme or device,
though hundreds have been tried, has been
able to suppress the flames You can see
nothing but a hill from which steam and
gas escape at a thousand different points.
The rocks are so hot that sometimes it is
impossible to touch them without pain,
and all vegetation on the mountain has
long since disappeared. How deep the fire
extends there are no means of knowing,
but it certainly must be a miniature vol
cano and mil ions of tons of coal since the
fire first started have thus been slowly con-
sumed.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

a Criticism in Scientific Light.

The giants IN our glgantomachia, whose
thighs change at half their length into
serpents, and which, instead of two legs,
stand on two vertebral columns running
out into heals, with separate brains. spinal
marrows, hearts, intestinal canals, lungs,
kidneys and sense organs, are and remain
an intolerab sight to the morphologically
cultivated eye, and prove that, although
the sculptors of Pergamon were superior
in technical ability to their predecessors of
the age of Pericles, they were inferior to
them in refinement of artistic feeling. They
were perhaps pardonable so faras tradition
bound them, for making giants with
snakes legs
The hippocamps and the Tritons with
horses legs and double 'fishtails which
disfgure the ratings of our Schlossbrucke
come from another time, when the antique
still ruled uurestrained and morphological
standards were less common property than
they are now. But it is a matter of deep
moment tOUs if famous painter of the
present suffers such monstrosities, issuing
from the trunk, as sleek, sheeny salmon
hardly concealing the line between the
human skin and the scales, to dance real
istically on The cliffs or splash around in
the sea.
The multitude admires such blue sea
marvels as works of genius; what genius,
then, must Hollen- Breughel have been!-
