NO BLANKS IN THIS co-pEr1oN.

NO BLANKS IN THIS CO.PETIoN.
This is a competition of rather an un-
usual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for the
amount Of the prize. But the Press
Claims COmpany's offer is something en-
tirely different. Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is re-
warded for doing it. The prize is only
a stimulus to do something that would
be well worth doing without it. The
architect whose competitive plan for a
club house on certain corner is not ac-
cepted has spent his labor on something
of very little use to him. But the person
who patented simple and useful device
in the Press Claims Company's competj-
ton, need not worry if he fail to secure
the prize. He has substantial result to
show for his work-one that will COM
mand its value in the market at any
time.
The plain man who uses any article in
his daily work ought to know better how
to improve it than the mechanical ex-
pert who studies it only from the theo-
retical point of view. Get rid of the
idea that an improvement can be too sim
pie to be worth patenting. The simpler
the better. The person who best sue
oeeds in combining simplicity and pop
ularity, will get the Press Claims Com
panys twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company
may be judged from the fact that its
stock is held by about three hundred of
the leading newspapers of the United
States.

THE CoTToN SEED CRop.-A statistical
estimate recently published makes the
annual value Of the product from, cotton
seed about $30,000,00O. The New Orlean.
Picayune calls attention to the rapid advance
.s :hc value of cotton seed since the market
ing Of the p-GacG. cc..oa crop o;r.m:.os...
When the season opened, two months ago.
cotton seed was worth $l1 per short TN.
and since that time the price has advanced
steadily, until ii is Gow Sic per ton, This
improvement represents substantial gain
to the Southern planter and also indicate,
either an unusually heavy demand for cot.
ton seed or an uncommonly short prosrec.
tive supply. When it is remembered that
1t is but comparatively short time since
cotton seed had no market value at all, the
present price of SIG per ton proves what n
tremendous advance has been made towards
ut'l zing all the products of the cotton plant
and what considerable portion of his
profits the cotton producer formerly lost.
"ln this connection" says the Picayune. .it
would be well remembered that the price OF
picking the crop has been very much re.
duced this year, and this saving addedsto
the enhanced price of seed, has greatly IN.
creased the profits of the producers, some
authorities claiming that from these two
causes, fall cents per pound has been
added to the price of cotton compared with

TAN ON lNHERIrANcEs.-IIon. Benton
Mcmillan, democratic congressman from
Tennessee, in an article discussing the out
look for tariff reform legislation in a recent
number of the North American Review. sup.
gests that falling off in revenues resulting
from II lowering of IMPORT duties NAV be
made good by the imposition of graduated
tax on inheritances. Mr.. McMillan's sur-
gestion is timely and there are many reasons
why its adoption would be of benefit TO the
country. When citizen dies and leaves
sufficient property only to maintain aud edu-
cate dependent family there is good reason
to leave it unmolesred to be devoted TO those
purposes, but the laws which permit great
masses of wealth to descend indefinitely
from parent to child are not founded in INV
naiural right. Children are entitled 10 the
same care, cOmfort and training that their
parents enjoy cd, but beyond those they are
due nothing. II uron the dca'h of man
worth ten or twenty thousand dollars, his
estate were taxed, say one per cent, and in
heritanccs of greater value at n st;ll higher
proportional rate, large fund would be
realized which wonld greatly tighten other
burdens OF taxation aud no ore would be
deprived of copper to which he had a pe-
GUITAR or individual right. The huge for.
tunes possessed by few persons and con-
stituling powerful monied class are dan
ger to our country and laws ought TO be
enacted which will at least have The effect of
preventing their increase. -Ldurens idrcy-

WHAT SRIGNIoRAGE Is.-S;rictly speaking
seigniorage is the charge made by any ma
tioual government for coiuiug bullion on
private account. 1t usually takes the form
of certain percentage, fixed by law and
deducted from the metal brought to the
mint.
In other words, when an Individual brings
TO government mint O quantity Of one
of the precious metals to be coined on his
private account, he will receive wight Of
coins equal to the weight of pure metal
brought, less the percentage deducted as
compensation to the government for its servi-
ces and incidental expenses Of coinage, and
plus the weight of the alloy.
At the present time the United States gov
ernment makes no charge for coming gold
ana does not receive silver, copper or nickel
for coinage on private account. Therefore,
the term seignorage is not strictly applica-
Die to any transaction that takes pla1e m
connection with Federal mints.
However, as used in current discussions
of the silver question, the term i, taken to
mean the nominal profit made by thotgov-
ernment on its purchases of silver and the
coinage OF the same. To illustrate !, The
present market price Of silver is almost ex-
ac,ly 70 cents an ounce, while its ''coinage
value is precisely $l.29 an ounce, so THAT
on every ounce of silver bought and coined
there is au apparent profit of SO cents. For
reasons that have been more than once care
fully explained, this profit is rather appa-
rent than real, seeing that the coinage
value is rather technical than actual.
When it is proposed to coin the seigniorage
silver now in The Treasury the meaning Of
the proposition is that all the silver bullion
purchased nnder the act of July, 1890, cou-
monty called the Sherman ac', not already
coined and over and above the amount tn It
would be needed to furnish standard silver
dollars to match each dollar represented by
Treasury notes issued under the law, shall
be c)incd into standard dollars.

INCREASING THE SILVER CoINAGE.-Yash-
ington, Nov The Treasury Department
to-day ordered the superintendents of the
mints at San Francisco and New ORLEANS to
resume the coinage suspended some time ago,
of standard silver dollars. 1t is for The pur-
pose Of utilizing the seignorage that the
coinage of standard silver dollars is rcsum-
ed. The expectation il that about one and
ha'f million can be coined q, once, which
Will give the Treasury seigaorage of about
five hundred thousand dolars. 1t is the
intention of the Treasury Department, as
the ether mints become clear of gold coin
age, TO have thom also cJin silver, and thus
increase the coinage three and half 10 four
aud half million dollars per month.
