5. Appointments will not be made
upon magnitude Of petitions or endorse
ments alone, but the character, appear.
ance aid evident fitness of the applicant

Trying to Compromise.

The story comes from Washington
that Mr.. Cleveland sees that the new
Congress will not repeal the Sherman
silver. purchase act unless some substi-
tute asceptable to he silver men is
brought forward. and that hence a good
deal Of Democratic brain power has been
used I'D in the endeavor to find some
way Of satisfying the silver men without
degrading y Money standard.
A proposition has been advanced as
compromise measure, Of which the FIRST
draft has been made public II is based
rpon the fact that the real ratio of silver
10 gold in the market of the world is nov
about % 20 | Hence it proposes to
withdraw all certificates that are now in
circulation for silver dollars deposited or
for the silver bullion purchased. and is
sac certificates for the silver in the
Treasury upon the ratio of 20 to Of
gold.
1t is urged in advocacy Of this plan
that, were it adopted, there would then
be no object in asking for gold, as the
certificate will represent a full dollar Of
value, and il necessary gold could be paid
on it. 10 fact, no matter where the Ger
t'6cate be presented IT will carry the full
value Of its face. 1t is also argued th At
the producer Of silver, it he honestly
wishes to sell his silver, will have only
m give dollars worth of silver for his
dollar certificate. But Mr.. Cleveland
fails to understand that the men who are
most strenuous for free coinage really
want the currency debesed. They want
a g. lollss. And this plan, we
predict, will meet with bitter opposition
from the Yves. and South, if it is seri-
Ously advanced as an administration
measure
Il is also argued that this measure
would reduce the value Of British East
India money; that the paper rupee wsald
have a downward tendency. and that
England would be compelled TO come %
this country with some honest proposal
for settlement of the monetary ques-
siop. Furthermore, there would, under
Il, no longer be an outflow of gold from
the Treasury. as the silver certificate
would represent something deposited of
equal value to gold; nor would it be nee
essary to hold hundred millions Of gold
rs sleserve, as Ne sun could be re-
placed il withdrawn by silver. at the
ratio Of % to |, and could be taken to
any market in the world and gold OBJ
tanned for it. 1t would enhance the :.
ne Of silver for manufacturing q
