TIME TO DROP THIS,

In an excellent essay at the High
School graduating exercises, a young
climber up tho nights of knowledge
hksned the fall of Rome to our sit
uation in the United States to-day,
and declared that Roms's decay was
caused by the influx of foreign filth
on her shores.
Why is it that the schools are
taught to pay such homage to those
''nobls Romans" the most licentious
race that the sun ever shone upon.
The unspeakable nastiness of SodOm
and Gomorrah was no worse than
that of Rome in her palmiest days,
and the Caesars and Cicero almost
openly rsvsled in practices, for the
occasional indulgence in which some
Of the English nobility were forced
to run in shame from their native
land.
No foreign filth dumped on Roman
shores could have compared with the
horrible shamelessness of the filth
which reeksd on her hearthstones.
Rome fell because her own people
were internally rotten, not because
of any contamination from the out
side. She fell because she was lsp-
rous with the immortality of beasts.
1t is time that this rot about Rome
were shelved. If public-school his
tories and public school teachers do
net desire to tell the truth about
those noble Romans, they certainly
should not instruct young students,
in a great, glor Gus, and decent Re
public, to look upon Romans as
models and the foreign-born who
hocked there as filth.
And this brings up another thought.
Undoubtedly N UGH foreign filth is
is being dumped upon our shores,
but do we keep our own hearthstones
so scrupulously clean that we are
justified in laying all the blame for
any blasting epidemic in our political
social, or moral life, upon the
shoulders of othersl
This cry of "foreign filth" is too
often merely an evasion for our own
responsibility for the sins of the
Nation. Bee.

As an evidence that hard times are
causing some needed reductions in
prices the Republican of Fresno
takes cognizance of the fact that the
Oakland citizens can now cross the
bay of San Francisco for nickel
and to the Golden Gats Park for an
other coin Of that denomination,
whereas it cost double that amount
a short time ago. The despised
nickel is becoming powerful factor
in the commercial transactions Of the
country. 1t is to be hoped that its
growing Importance may not attract
the attention of Wall street, and
thus bring about its retirement.
Whatever may happen to silver and
greenbacks the nickel should be de-
Tended to the last grasp. The harder
the times the more essential it be-
comes.

HASTEN TARIFF REFORM.

1t is an encouraging fact that business
interests are beginning to speak as
plainly in the question of tariff reform
as they did on the repeal of the Sher-
man purchase law. The tariff question
is business question. and business men
are interested in its decision. 1t is of
course claimed by republican papers
that such men are opposed to tariff re-
vision and that the suspension of bust
ness by manufactures last summer was
due to a fear of tariff revision. This
question has been very conclusively set
tied by Bradstreets commercial agency.
which made a careful investigation of
the subject and found that only a very
small percentage of the firms that had
suspended made any claim of being in
huenced by the tariff question in any
way.
In so far as any of them were affected
it was due to uncertainty only and not
to fear of any damage from tariff re-
vision on the lines laid down in the
last national democratic platform. From
a business standpoint there cannot be
any possible damage to manufacturers
from cheaper raw materials The bust
ness view is stated as follows by the
Dry Goods Economist:
The worst of tariff change is the un-
certainty of its period of incubation. A
portion Of this uncertainty we have al
ready undergone: the remainder we are
in a better position to endure than we
have been for many years. Let the
tariff bill be pushed vigorously, and let
a date be early fixed upon and an
nounced on which the new bill shall
take effect This is the only sensible
and honest course, and. we firmly be-
lieve the only popular one for congress
to pursue.
1t may be added that this is not only
the sensible view from a business stand
point but also from a political stand
point. What is the criticism now made
by republicans of the conduct of the
present administration as TO the repeal
of the Sherman law? Delay. Not
withstanding the prompt and energetic
action of the president, they point to
the fact that we ndu DOln HOUSES Oh
congress and yet permitted the country
to suffer for weeks before giving the
demanded relief. 1t will be so with the
tariff question. If it is not pushed rap
idly, and if an early date is not set for
its taking effect. the democratic party
will be blamed for delaying relief 1t
would be folly to incur any such criti-
cism. The party has determined on its
policy 1t will put it into effect sooner
or later. The evidence is clear that it
will benefit the country to put it into
effect as quickly possible. Hence all
motives of policy dictate quick and res
olute action on the question.

THE RECENT SILVER MOVEMENT,

The movement of silver since the re
peal of the Sherman purchase law has
been a surprise to those who imagined
that the price of silver was bolstered
up by that financial eccentricity. Pos
sibly it may have some effect in teach
ing the American people that they alone
cannot control the price of any com
modify that is in general use throughout
the world. except as i'm proportion of
the population of the United States to
the population of the world our demand
affects the general supply. The chief
factors i'm the movement of silver dur
ing the present year have been the at
tempted resumption of specie payments
on a gold basis by Austra-Hungary, the
attempted establishment of a gold basis
i'm India at a ratio of about l to 81, and
an extraordinary demand for silver in
China and India The last has been po-
tent in holding up the market value of
silver. or. more properly in preventing
further appreciation of gold, because the
common people of those countries have
not yet grasped he distinction between
bullion and coin values. This is espe-
cially noticeable in India, whose imports
of silver for the present year already
amount to about S3OO 900 and will for
the year probably equal If they do not
exceed. the largest annual importation
recorded.
The situation in India is peculiar The
people of that country have long had
the habit of converting their surplus
coin into ornaments. In each village
there will be found one or more silver
smiths who supported themselves by
this work. In times of famine or de-
preston these ornaments were recoined
in large quantities at the mint. and this
experience, together with the fact that
under the silver standard, with free
coinage the rupee has constantly rated
at it's bullion value, has educated the
common people of India to estimate all
silver by its bullion value in rupees
without reference to its gold value.
Since the order for suspension of free
coinage and exchange of the rupee for
gold at Is 4d has gone into effect, there
has arisen a common use of silver bull
lion for money throughout India 1t is
used i'm the shape of small bars and is
valued by the natives with reference to
its relation to the rupee in weight That
is to say, bar which weighs the same
or armlets, or other ornaments as the
ten rupees would make. Hence. silver
bullion, which has a market value in
London of 20 cents per ounce, or an ex-
change ratio with gold of 80 to 1. is

LET Us PREY.

If we may judge from the utterances
% the inspired organ Mr.. Harrison is
beginning to realize that public senti-
ment in this country does not favor the
gobbling up of small and defenseless
countries by the national government,
simply because it wants territory. The
Journal now attempts to show that
Minister Stevens had nothing to do with
the revolution because press dispatch
of Feb. 3 shows that there was a letter
on file in the state department which
claims that Mr.. Stevens away from
the island until Jan. 49, and was. there
the revolution which occurred on Jan.
II. Some objection might be made to
the logic of this argument, but possibly
the point raised may be more easily dis
tion to its Washington dispatch of Feb
l. which is much more explicit on this
subject. 1t says:
AS the American interests on the ISL
and are, by many times. greater than
those Of resident citizens Of any other
country, il was only natural that Pres
ident Harrisons administration should
have prepared for an emergency. United
States Minister Stevens was. accord
ingly, long ago instructed to keep the de-
partment Of state at Washington fully
informed of the growth Of the feeling
against the queen. and when, six
month ago, the dispatches intimated
that a revolution might be precipitated
sent Minister Stevens authorizing him
to call for armed assistance from
United States naval vessel for protec-
ton of life and property and the pre-
vention. if possible, of bloodshed-
The cruiser Boston was ordered to
Honolulu, i'm anticipation of the very
event which has occurred, and her
commander. Capt Wiltsie, before he
left San Francisco. also received de-
tailed instructions. The exact nature
of these instructions is diplomatic
precautiOn not revealed at the navy de-
partInent here. 1t is understood how
ever, that both Minister Stevens and
Capt. Wiltsie caused the leaders of the
revolution to feel that they could have
the support OF Uncle Sans blue jackets
i'm accomplishing their purpose in an or
derby and bloodless manner and that
the houses and other property. both of
natives and foreign residents, would be
protected from wanton destruction. The
developments make ii apparent accord
ing to the information thus far received
from Honolulu. that the planting of ma
rines from the Boston actually precipi-
tated the revolution. while at the same
time this government has not been
placed in a position of fomenting or en-
couraging the change of government or
in fact, of taking any action against
which any of the foreign powers repre-
scented at the island could consistently
protest
There you have the matter in a nut

brought into large exchange relations
in India with silver coin which the gov
eminent is trying to maintain on a gold
basis at ratio of 81 to /, and therefore
attains practical market ratio of about
y to l. In other words there is a large
profit i'm shipping silver to India and
passing it into the hands Of the natives
under present conditions. But this can=
not last long. They will soon learn the
difference, and then there will come a
reaction that will shake the British en-
pire to its foundations. When these ma
tives learn that their ornaments cannot
be converted into coin there will arise
a prejudice against silver, a demand for
and appreciation of gold. general de-
cline of prices and an Indian panic that
will melt away English capital as the
Indian sun would melt snow.
The week before the repeal silver was
under influence of a special demand
from Japan. Last week it closed at
69A Yesterday silver certificates were
quoted at 69h67OIa. This advance over
the price before repeal is due entirely
to the oriental demand and will disap-
pear very quickly when the people of
the East learn the difference between
silver coin on a gold basis and silver
bullion. That will stop their call for
silver and the former process of depre-
citation will be resumed.
1t may be mentioned in this connection
that Itaiy's present silver trouble is due
entirely tG the use of paper money.
which, owing to the failing credit of the
country, has now deprecated below the
bullion value of Italian change money
Italy, like the other states of the Latin
union, made all silver coins below the
five-franc piece of debased metal. The
standard, like that of this country, was
900 fine but the small coins, or change
money, was only S35 fine or in a coin
age ratio of l to 143S. When Italy's
paper money began to depreciate the
standard silver money was driven out of
the country at once, but the small coins
remained until the depreciation passed
Z per cent. Then the small coins began
to disappear, and now Italy has none.
1t has all gone to France, Belgium,
Switzerland and Greece. where. under
the terms of the Latin union it is legal
tender in limited amounts on the same
terms as the change money of those
countries. Italy wants it returned, but
of course it will be returned only in ex-
change for gold. or the silver money Of
those countries, and if it should be re-
turned it could not possibly be kept in
Italy unless there is a marked appre-
citation in Italian paper money, for these
small coins are now at premium of
II per cent. in paper.
