bought in Europe. Now. there is nothing
to prevent the Americans in these silver

all kinds. With American skill and Ameri-
can capital and native cheap labor almost
all kinds of goods can be produced in Mex

ing people of European countries. Most
of them live by selling abroad the
finished goods made at home. But there is
not likely to be much sympathy felt for
the creditor who has conspired to increase
the value of the currency in which he ex-
acts payment. There is a good deal of
talk about the desire of debtors to pay
their debts in cheap currency. but not a
word about creditors who aim to com pei
debtors to pay in dear currency. That
gold has risen in its relation to commod-
ties is a fact that has been clearly demon
strated. If the clique of capitalists who
have effected this appreciation OF gold lose
part Of their anticipated profits through
changes in the channels of trade the
worlds verdict would be that they were
rightly served.

THE SILVER-PURCHASE ACT.

The New York World says, concerning
the proposed repeal of the Sherman silver
purchase act:
The direct and simple course Is the only safe
one. he law OF 1890 should be repealed
promptly, completely and without conditions.
There is nothing in 1t worth preserving.
When the silver purchase act of 1890 be-
came law the so-called Bland act was in
force. The act of 1890 did not repeal the
whole of the Bland act, but only the pro-
vision which requires the purchase and
coinage Of not less than $4,000 600 nor
more than $4,000. 600 of silver each month.
The rest of the Bland act is in force. 1t
is that act which declares the silver dollar
of 1922 grains fall legal tender and re-
qures the treasury to receive it at its
face valus for all dues. The repeal of
the silver purchasing clause of the silver
purchasing act would not therefore rid
the administration of silver dollars. 1t
would only prevent the coming of new
ones or the purchase of silver from which.
at the discretion of the treasury, new ones
may be coined
If the Cleveland administration were
willing to so before the people on the sill
yer issue it would present new bill re-
pealing all laws which were in conflict
with it. Then the people would know ex-
actly what was proposed. AS it is in the
public mind the proposition is simply to
repeal that part of the act of 1890 which
requires the purchase Of silver The re.
peal of the whole act would be repeal of
the section providing for the issue of
treasury notes and also the following dec.
laration of policy, which forms part of
section 3:
Tha. upon demand Of the holder of any of the
treasury notes herein provided for the Secre.
tary of the Treasury shall. under such regula-
tions as he may prescribe, redeem such notes in
gold or silver coin at his discretion, It being the
established policy Of the United States to main
tain the two metals on parity with each other
upon the present legal ratio or such ratio as
may be provided by law.
1t might be held that the repeal of this
declaration of policy in the silver-purchase
act carried with it the repeal of a similar
declaration in the act which the silver-pur.
chase act superseded. In that case the
dollars piled up in the treasury would be
reduced to their value as bullion. If the
Cleveland administration has courage to
formulate silver policy and stand by il an
issue will be m made to go before the people
upon. But moro proposition to repeal
the act of 1890 is misleading. The act has
other important provisions than that which
Is made the principal reason for repeal.

EXPANSIVE IDEAS.

Some Eastern capitalists are said to be
examining the canyons of the Colorado,
and especially the magnificent Grand
Canyon. in Northern Arizona, with a view
to utilizing the water power in two ways.
1t is to be applied in the generation of
electric power for navigation, the current
being conveyed along wire suspended in
mid stream, and employed in propelling
passenger vessels up stream. The project
is probably feasible as an engineering feat,
and very large number Of wonder struck
tourists might make the voyage of this
deep-eroded gorge and pronounce it the
most marvellous scenic creation of the con-
tinent. The study Of the towering masses
of cliff from the bed of the river is un-
questionably more impressive than look
ing down the SCARED and scanned walls
from the awful brink. and as large num-
Der of poetry-saturaled. rOmance-loving
people appear to take a pleasure in the
contemplation of desolate solitude on
sublime scale, there is no reason why rail
road engineers should not provide the IA
ciities for exploration. A navigating
trolley in the alb sseS OF the Colorado
gorges may SAVIOR of PROCLAMATION of nature,
but that is quite superficial view of
mans prerogatlve to enjoy what he can on
this footstool.
The second project of electric utilization
of the water power of the Colorado Is to
pump the water up again to the desert
tabeland through which the river has
slowly cut It's channel. and employ it III
irrigation. This is project entirely to be
commended. Water will cause the desert
to h1nnno nd hn f,I nro i,<
this region would be early. Maturity
would almost correspond with spring else
where. and the cultivator would never be
al a loss Tor an eager market. The area
susceptible of reclaim alton by the outpour-
ing OF the Colorado waters Is spoken of as
about as large as Massachusetts. To add
this area to productive territory is no in
considerable gain. But If the water is
diverted from the channel at this part, it
follows that there will be little left for
irrigation lower down tho river, where
ditching is necessary instead of pumping,
and where there are also wide wastes of
soil which may be made fertile by irriga-
ton. There is no more water to go round
than the river supplies. and In such an
arid country very little water will return
to the channel from the irrigated district.
For irrigation purposes it will therefore be
a question of scramblng for prior posses
sion. This is not the case with water
solely used to develop electric power. The
whole of the water is recoverable. Quite
how much power can be obtained from the
Colorado has doubtless not been calcu-
lated. The current is feeble trckle
compared with the mighty flood which
pours over Niagara, but it is a long and
rapid run in sharp descents. and available
force is an offset to lack of volume.

FURTHER particulars are forthcoming Of
the preliminary surveys for an interna-
tional railroad through the continent to
south America. Ex-senator Davis Of
west Virginia indicates that the surveys
snow no serious difficulties along the
greater part of the route. but the South
american portion may be arduous and
costly. Surely the aggregate length. how
ever. Is more than 430O miles. The pro-
moters OF this backbone project. as mat
ters are at present, will have far more
difficulty in securing capital and remuner-
atlve traffic than in getting engineers TO
unoertake the construction. Even for
