Mr.. Harvey Fisk & Sons, you have

That is true. The only way to cor
rect it is by bringing the country back
to the honest dollar system-that ol
bimetalism-the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver, which
is the system that was in existence
in all countries from the dawn of civ
ilization up to 1873. Taking all gov
ernments of the world there are 81,
dollars of debts to one dollar of money
and with every ounce of silver in ex
istence coined there would still b,
less money than the total amount o
debts, and the production would no
add enough for the demands of busi
ness. If the United States now hat
all the silver of the world, and had i
coined at the ratio of 16 90 l,
would be but $40 per capita. Wit

TIDE LANDS AND PUBLIC LANDS

II justly made? Are not public lands capable
OF being monOpOlZed? IsnOt tile difference IN
the monopoly of tide lands and public lands
only one OF degree? that is TO say, the former
may be more readily monopolized.
1t is not wise to weaken a strong posi-
ton by extending the lines so as TO include
doubtful one. Public lands may be
monopolized to an extent, but such posi-
bic monopoly cannot be compared in its
consequences 70 the individual possession
OF land which. from its location, becomes
the channel through which the products of
millions of acres of ordinary land may

STATE BANKS.

a Washington correspondent gives
credit to a rumor that the Cleveland
administration proposes to head move
ment to supersede national banks with
State banks. The first step to the accom-
pishment of this purpose would be the
repeal of the 10 per cent tax on State bank
circulation. The second would be an at
tempt on the part 0f tho administration 10
determine what kinds of securities may be
accepted as the basis Of circulation. The
method by which the Federal Government
may prescribe the kind OF securities on
which State bank may issue notes is not
clearly defined. The Federal treasury
may decline to issue treasury notes tor
circulation except on approved securities,
but If State bank, acting in accord with
State charter, chooses to issue It's own
notes, the National Government may not
find the power to say it shall not. For
thirty years the issue of State bank notes
has been prevented by the 10 per cent tax,
but the first step in the proposed move
meDt will be to repeal that tax. 1t looks
much as If the administration were getting
on the unpopular side of what may become
great issue. Some of these days the
people will ask themselves why banks
should be allowed to issue currency on
Understanding securities. whether Gov
eminent bonds, State bonds, railroad
bonds or some kind of industrial bonds?
What service do banks render that entitle
them 10 double interest ON their capital?
If S3i6.000.000 of legal tender based on
Sl00,000,000 of gold coin is constitutional
money, why may not the currency and It's
basis be doubled without violation of the
constitution?

AN INSTRUCTIVE DEBATE.

Senator White might have won his spurs
In Senatorial debate without antagonizng a
Pacific Coast Senator on question so near
10 The Pacific Coast heart as the exclusion
of Chinese labOrers. It does not make
much difference whether Dolph of Oregon
or Geary of California drafted what is now
known as the registration feature of the
Geary act. 1t is even possible that some
committee clerk whose name has never
found It's way into print put floating ideas
into legislative form. Very few Senator's
or REPRESENTATIVES absolutely write the
bills which they present and which in
time come TO bear their names. But Mr.
White did the Pacific Coast better service
In exposing the error Senator Gray had
fallen into in assuming that the United
States Government might have changed
the treaty with China through the State
Department instead of by action of
Congress. On this point Mitchell of Oregon
and White of California seem to have
worked together.
The Delaware Senator was silenced by
reference 10 the Presidents message &C.
companying his signature to the Scott
bill, In which the fact that the Chinese
Government had failed to act on draft of
treaty submitted some months before
was mentioned as reason for the action
by Congress. Senator Dolph made it
clear to the dulest comprehension that
the registration requirement was not un-
reasonable. It's object was TO identify
Chinese rather than to depOrt them. If
deportation followed it was the penalty
of failure to comply with a reasonable
law. The registered Chinese should be
considered as roll of honor. The certif-
cate was a recognition OF their right TO
live in the country until such time as they
might choose to return TO their mother
country. Discussion of this character can
not fail to eDlighten the people on subject
10 which they have given little thought.
Prominent public men as well as learned
clergymen and humanitarians of the In
gersoll school have expressed ideas in re-
gard to the right OF Chinese to come to
this country and enter into competition
with American workingmen which are de-
stru ctive Of national independence.

CoL0RED EMIGRATION.

Of late there have been symptoms of
restlessness among the colored population
OF the United States, and especially in the
South. Perhaps they are not more dis
contented with their lot in any State than
a sprlnkling Of white people who seek to
mend their condition and move without
hesitation long distances Ia the hope of
hetterment. The armies of boomers who
swoop down upon any fresh reservation
area opened up by the Government repre-
sent the spirit OF change as well as prog
ress when there is a prospect of good for
tune IN new region. 1t is not ast0Eish-

EQUALIZATION.

Under our present law the way to equal
ize an assessment Is to take one or two of
the lowest ones as the basis and add a
percentage which shall give them their full
valuation. The law does not permit the
State board to eQualize in any other way.
1t is little hard on property that has
been assessed at its full valuation to have
sufficient percentage added to bring
property that was assessed at low rate
to its full valuation; but this is what the
people have been led to expect when the
State board renders its decision.
Deputy Assessor Briggs has given the
public several examples of the way in
which things are done. The State board
had found properties that apparently were
not assessed at one-half their selling value.
But in some instances Mr.. Briggs dscov-
cred clerical errors and in others condi-
tons unknown to tbs board which caused
the apparent differentiation.
For example. family residence Is as
sessed at certain figure. 1t is afterward
sold with furniture at $4,000. The State
board concludes that the real property
hal been undervalued. without knowing
that in the sale personal property had
been included. In other cases valuable
buildings in the process of construction
were assessed for what was in sight. The
board finds that the completed building
was worth more than the Assessor had
estimated the frame TO be when the as
sessment had been made. The injustice
OF advancing the valuations Of property
generally on few examples OF this char
acter need not be pointed out.
The increase in the valuations is a part
of the fight by tax-eaters upon the tax
payers. The Legislature is pledged to
keep within the 80 cent limit. But the
appropriations are greatly in excess OF
the revenue that the 90 cent limit will
produce. What is to be done? In what
way can the deficit be made up more
readily and with less exposure to public
censure than by advancing the rate of
valuation so that the so cent limit will
produce all the revenue needed2

THE SEAL PROBLEM.

The Chicago Inter Ocean con siders it
deeply significant and highly encouraging
fact that no tribunal for the settlement of
an international difficulty has been organ
ICED which did not accomplish its purpose. !"
From present appearances the Boring Sea
arbitration accomplished its object some
what too effectually. Its object was TO
settle dispute; the dispute is settled by
practically removing the cause. Under
the decision the United States has no right
in the seals which will warraut'the ex-
pense of protecting that right. So COM
pletely is the title of the United States to
property in seals extinguished that it may
be thought wise policy to extinguish sea
life so far as the Pribiloff Islands are con-
cerned. This at least is the course sug-
gested by ex-Secretary Tracy as a proper
one to take in case the right of property
in seals should be denied If tie United
States should kill the whole herd Of seals
while they are domiciled on the islands
there would be no more work for poachers.
and there would be no seal problem TO dis
turb the relations of the United States
and England.
