INSTEAD of being dictated to by Eng
land on every financial proposition. let
us turn about and do a little debating
ourselves. In her dealings with her
colonies England uses more silver than
will ever be coined in the United States.
Naturally she wants to buy this silver
as cheaply as possible. Eminent Brit
lsh authorities have asserted that if the
United States completely dcmonetized
the white metal, silver would 90 10
thirty cents an ounce. Per contra.
with free coinage IN America, England
would have to settle with India and
other dependencies in h:gh-priced sill
yer. Sound commercial eense dictates
that we should make her pay as much
as possible for the silver she will be
compelled to buy.

By a majority of one the Sherman act
repeal measure was reported from the
senate finance committee Yesterday,
-Four of the six members favoring repeal
are republicans the other two demo-
Gratis. The five members of the COM
mittee who stood by silver are all dem
ocrats, save Senator Jones, of Nevada.
The support of Senator Voorhees, was
secured for repeal by coupling with the
measure a declaration that the United
States believed in bimetallic standard
to be secured by international agree
ment. This declaration for bimetal-
lism coupled with the repeating act,
and unaccompanied by any definite
proposition to coin silver at all, is an
absurdity on its face, mere claptrap to
catch votes.
The Helena independent., 1893-08-19

THE friends of silver are much better
organized in the senate than in the
house Of Representa- tatives. In the latter
body the silver men appear to be split
up into little factions. Some Of them
favor free coinage at ratio of sixteen
to one; others would accept seventeen,
eighteen or twenty to one. Some of
those who believe the ratio should be
sixteen to one will not vote for any other
ratio, they say. In this lack Of under
standing and unity there is danger
1t looks as though the repeating act
would pass the house and that no sub
stitute would be agreed upon in that
body for the present. The hope for sill
yer lies with tho senate.

H. THE Mssoulian knows what it is
talking about when it says: "These are

This depression cannot last forever.
This is too great country; it has too

III, If people were afraid Of the deprecia-

They would not hoard it as they are do

THE COST OF CHOLERA.
One Province in Asia Minor Has Lost
Trade Worth nany Millions.
New York Tin,

New York Times.
1t is estimated that one province of Asia
Minor has suffered loss of S15.0 .0O0. 900 this
year in trade owing to the prevalence of
cholera and to the attempts to suppress this
disease. If this be the measure of the loss
In one province of Asiatic Turkey. it is
plain that tho loss caused by cholera in
Europe during the last two years must be
enormous. Is it not probable that the
European loss has been one hundrad times
the loss of the province of Aidin? And
when the losses of life and property ca aused
by this disease in Europe since 1884 and
before the epidemic of last year are added.
the total must be at least three times the
loss of the last two years. And yet this
loss could have been avoided by the COM
bined efforts of the European powers, at a
cost of few millions OF dollars.
The careful guarding of ths pilgrim
routes by sea and land from India. and a
strict enforcement of the laws of modern
sanitation in Mecca and other "holy
places" midway between Europe and the
home of this est would require the ex-
penditure of a sum very small in compari-
son with Europe's enormous cholera loss.
