schools OF other denominations. The
bill is non-sectarian, as any church es-
tablishing schoals Tor secular, as we'll as
moral and religious instruction, would
come in for u share Of it's advantages.
But it IS vehemently opposed BY the over
jealous friends OF the public school sys-:
tenn, By the American Protective Associ-
alton and other allied bigots ever re-
ioiclng at sn opportunity tovent their
fanatical spleen. Unfortunately for them
Arch bishop Corrigan declared that the
measure is most unwise, and that no
bishop in his province Of the Church ap-,
proves Of it. at Thursdays meeting Of
the trustees Of the Cathedral, the bill
was discussed, and was condemned by
all. The declaration d the Archbishops
position in regard tostha matter should
serve. 10 stop q discussion that promised
to become decidedly unpopular, because

to draft bills, no matter 4hox absurd, or
devoid Of authority, g ono of the priv
sleges Of American oitizenship. The: sil-
,ver lunacy has passed, 90 tho solons, ont

Sunday, July esp m
The United States Treasurer received last week
from customs S3,4so,SiG; from internal revenue
s3O1s 0s7, and from miscellaneous sources, S2O7-
3ss: total from all, S6.,06.aa5. against 81 ,0OO,-
ooa in the preceding week. The falling of in
receipts for customs was caused by the smaller
imports but the internal revenue receipts suf-
fered still larger loss. The weekly Treasury
statement shows decrease of S2.s4I.73s in the
net cash in vaults, and an increase of S44j, 064
in deposits in National banks. The reduction in
the net cash balances was S2,3o6,614. There
WAS small decrease in the gold balance. but
the loss in lceal-tendcr notes was much more
important. IL was considerably larger than the
gain in the preceding week.
The principal changes in the vault balances
were made up as follows A loss in the gold bal
xnce of S3s9,2se, by "a loss Of Ssso,379 in coin
and bullion, less a reduction of $1,000 in the
amount of outstanding certificates; ii loss in the
silver balance of 81 OF, sol, by the issue Of $685.
1913 certificates and notes, less "a gain of S640,G02
in coin and bullion, and loss in the lega-tender
balance Of $2,3I 7,442, by "A decrease OF S2,26I,-
442 in notes, together with ISslle OF $4,000
currency certificates Holdings OF National bank
notes were not materially changed. In consc-
quence of the small purchases of silver bullion the
issue Of Treasury notes amounted TO only S@oe,-
900, but the sum Of $l,1sl,246 was reissuci IN
the course of business, and tlrc volume of notes
in circulation enlarged by Sl,3s9246. En-
elusive of the amount held in the Treasury these
notes now outstanding amount TO Sl43,14O,-

nearly thoroughly done its work"
Leave silver to it's fate and let us SEQ

banner of nometallism and using sill
YER as an object lesson, fight for full
legal tender, inconvertible paper

Of parturition and an enlightened sys-
tenn of monetary science will be born

A QUALIFICATION.
What Constitutes tho Worlds Money-A
Plain Statement.

What Constitutes tho Worlds Money-A
Plain Statement.
"There is no money of the world"
never was, and never will be. There
is English money, French money, Ger
man money, Mexican money, American
money, etc, but no worlds money
English money is no good in the United
States. American money is no good in
England-neither of them is worlds
money even if made of gold"
While the foregoing from the Pitts
burg Kansan is true as applied to the
past and the present and will be equal
ly true of the future if the insane
theory of metallism prevails, it is to b.
hoped that the future holds better
things in store for humanity. The ideal
and abstract, invariable and immuta bio
natural unit of accountable figure L
lis, and always be the same ingall
parts of Gods universe. When the
universal brotherhood of man is recog-
nized it will be possible to inaugurate
an international decimal numerary
monetary system, under the operation
of which the inconvertible paper
money, representing the natural unit,
with its .decimals and multiples, will
be worlds money" and will pass cur
rent in the world, as the Latin unions
silver coins now pass current in all the
nations therein. GEORGE C. WARD

BATTLE OF THE STANDARDS.

1t will Be Well for the People if They
Shall Mutually Wipe Each Other Out.
The fight between the silver COM
bine and the gold combine is drawing
to focus in this country with the
chances that the goldites will knock
out the silverites. 1t was stagger-
ing blow that the yold.tes gave the sill
verites when they demonetized silver
in India and it has put the goldites
several points ahead in the coming
battle between the two forces in the
United States congress-
So far as the people are concerned it
does not make much difference which
whips. Both want to enrich them
selves at the expense of the public.
The silver combine consists of the
silver mine owners of the west. They
want fancy price for their silver ore
"a bigger price than it will bring for
ordinary commercial and manufacture
ing purposes-so they desire Uncle
Sam to purchase their metal and coin
it into money or issue silver certificates
in lieu of coming it, just as is is now
being done and has always been done
in the case of gold. They would siren
uously object to Uncle Sam buying a
lot of the iron or wheat or sheepskins
of the country and storing it and issu-
ing certificates upon it to circulate as
money, but can't for the life of them
see why it is wrong to buy the silver
ore for this purpose. They argue, and
they are right in that, that purchasing
silver ore and coming it or issuing
silver certificates upon it adds to the
money supply of the nation, but so
would buying iron ore, wheat or sheep
skins and issuing certificates upon the
same add to the money supply. Issu-
ing greenbacks, based upon silver ore,
iron ore, wheat, sheepskins and all
other products would add to the money
supply. and do SO by treating every
body alike, but the silverites do not be-
heve in that plan because it would not
give fictitious price to their silver.
The gold combine consists of GER
tain line of capitalists having their
headquarters in Wall street, New
York, and Lombard street, London.
They want the use Of silver and silver

certificates as money discontinued.
They do not wish to replace the silver
with gold, because they have not the
gold to replace it with. Their object
in fighting silver is to make money
scarce, because then it benefits them in
two ways.
First-H money is scarce it rises in
value and farm products, lands, labor
and so on go down. The goldites have
the money, the people have the rest,
and If the money is scarce and high it
goes much further in absorbing the
properties of the people.
Second-The goldites have the gov
eminent bonds, municipal bonds, coun-
ty bonds and the private mortgages of
the people, and if money is scarce and
products, lands, labor and so on go
down, these bonds and mortgages are
enhanced in value because it takes
much more Of the peoples property to
pay the interest and principal of the
same than when money is plenty and
products, properties and labor are high.
If there was no other way to in
crease the supply of money than to
buy the silver of the silver combine,
then it would be to the peoples in
terest, if they could, to prevent the
gold combine from knocking out the
silver combine. But the currency can
be increased without buying silver and
issuing silver certificates upon that as
a basis. Green backs, issued upon all
property as basis, increases the cur
rency and is fair to all
But the gold combine wants no
greenbacks. They are opposed to the
greenbacks we already have and want
them retired. Why? For the same
reason that they want no silver or sill
yer certificates make money scarce.
Whether they will succeed in having
the existing greenbacks retired re-
mains to be seen. They will do it if
they can.
The gold combine will not object to
expansion of the currency at certain
periods if they can control that expan-
sion in such a way as to contract it
when they see TT For that reason
they will not object to the repeal of
the state bank tax if that repeal is at

them masters Of the situation. Unless
our representatives in the senate and
congress are very watchful Of the peo-
pies interests the repeal of the state
bank tax, when it takes place, will be
attended with conditions very agree
able to the gold combine.
The fight just now is between the
gold combine and the silver combine
with objects in view on the part of
both detrimental to the people. The
people, therefore, can afford to let them
fight it out without taking part either
way.
When it comes to retiring the present
greenback, however, the people should
kick, and kick hard, and if state bank
system is to be gotten up in such way
as to be a mere machine of the gold
combine the people should kick, and
kick hard, against that.-Berlin (Pa.)
