THE SILVER AGITATION,

The price OF silver is now lower than
ever before known. This depression in
the value of the white metal is ominous
to silver mining in the west. The COM
ing session of congress is anxlously
looked for TO give relief. That it will
repeal the Sherman law is by no means
certain and if it does the passage of q
bill for the relief OF the silv-r interest
is not probable. All this, however, is a
mere matter of speculation which the
meeting of congress can alone verify or
disprove. Congressman Bland, the
great free coinsge chief, said in an inter
view on the situation:
"The demonstration of silver is a
conspiracy between the banking insti-
tutions of Z gland and the eastern por-
ton of the United States, and the sus-
pension of silver coinage in India is part
of this conspiracy to bulldoze the con-
gress of the United States to the edop-
tion Of single gold standard. do not
OC'AONO SASCScO. IL TIE u6m-
ocratic congress stands true to its
pledges this conspiracy will not succeed.
The low price of silver is due TO the fact
that this and other governments are dis
eliminating against it, and that the
money interests in this and other coun-
tries have fought it. No important
commercial country has recently mad
vent for the free exchange of gold and
silver. The effort has been to dam up
silver and prevent its free exchange in
the commerce of nations. That the
United States by free coinage can re-
store silver to its original value was
practically admitted by the British
royal commission of 1888, consisting of
twelve members, six of them uncompro-
missing monometalists. They admit
France alone could maintain parity of
parity of the two metals at a ratio of
fifteen and half to one. This country
is stronger in material wealth, developed
and updeveloped, than England and
France combined"

THE DEGRADATION OF SILVER

The silver question is at present the
general topic of conversation, even
among men who have hitherto given
little or no attention ID the subject
When silver mines close down, one after
another; when smelters are allowed to
freeze out; when railroad stocks tumble
in sympathy and manufacturing estab-
lishments discharge their help the
question is no longer an abstract one
but comes home to US all, with the
promise that it will soon come much
nearer.
In London, which the United States
still permits to control the money mar
ket of the world, the price of silver yes
terday was sixty-eight and half cents
per ounce, at which rate the silver dol
lar, as bullion. is worth only fifty-three
cents. This drop demoralized the New
York market, and outside of the board
bar silver fell to the unheard-of price OF
sixty-two.
This state of affairs cannot, of course,
continue much longer. Eastern people
clamOr for the repeal of the Sherman
act, as a cure-all for our ills, but the
people at large would like to know what
kind of substitute is to take its place.
There is a general impression that
the United States is strong enough and
independent enough to take the lead
and outline financial policy for itself
We can get along very well without
the silks and laces and pictures OF
Europe, but they must have our wheat
1t will, however, be difficult to intro
duce aDy such American policy as long
as the gold bugs, who are in sympathy
with European capitalists, hold the
ear of the adm nistrati0n.
From Mexico, which is more nearly
concerned that most of countries IN the
silver question, comes the uniqua sug
gestion for the solution of the difficulty
by the United States. Mexican fiuan.
ciers say we could force bi-metalism
upon Europe by issuing gold loan oi
S500,000,000 in four and half per cent
bonds, which would be immediately
taken in Europe. where all other gov
erument securities would at once drop
not being able to compete with
cur bonds. Then, according to this
theory, gold would flow into the United
States. and in short time bi-metallism
would have to be adopted in those Eu
ropean countries wherei does not already
rule, while the enormous quantity o.
silver held by the American treasury
would rise in value and yield big
profit TO Uncle Sam.
Several other schemes are proposed
to restore silver to its previous condi.
ton, but the trouble is that the eastern
money power does not want to see sill
yer restored. Ii gold would only go tc

Affairs.
BLAMES THE REPUBLICANS

WASHINGTON, June 30.--At 6 o'clock
the following proclamation was issued: ::
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WAsHINGToN,
Jure 80, 1893.
WHEREAS, Distrust and Apprehension
| concerning the financial situation which
pervades all business circles has already
caused great loss and damage to our
people and threatens to cripple our
merchants, stop the wheels of manu-
facture, bring distress and privation to
our farmers and withhold from our
worklngmen the wages of labor; and,
WHEREAS, The present perilous con-
dition is largely due to financial pol
icy which the executive branch of the
government finds embodied in unwise
laws which must be executed until re-
pealed by the government; now, there
fore, /, Grover Cleveland, president of
the United States, in performance Of
my constitutional duty, do by this proc
lamation declare that the extraordinary
| occasion requires the convening of both
houses of congress of the United Stateg
at the capitol in the city of Washin g
ton on the 7th day OF August next, at
L o'clock noon, to the end that the peO-
pie may receive relief through legisla-
tion from present and impending danger
and distress.
All those entitled TO act as members
of the Fifty-thIrd congress are required
to take notice OF this proclamation and
attend at the time and place above
stated.
Given under my hand and seal of the
United States at the city of Washington
on the Both day of June, in the year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and ninety-three, and of the indepeDd-
ence of the United S iates the one hun
dred and seventeenth.
EXPLAINING THE REASONS WHY.
The determination to call an extra
session the first week in August instead
of the inst week IN September, it is un-
derstood, was only definitely arrived at
at this mornings cabinet session after
giving full weight to numerous tele
grams received from all parts of the
country urging this course, and the con-
sidering of which caused the president
to change his mind is fOreshadowed in
the remark made by one o. his cabinet
officers two days ago to the effect that
if The president received reasonable as
surances there was likelihood of a
prompt repeal of the so-called Sherman
purchase law he might be disposed to
call congress together earlier than he
announced. 1t is Inferred from this
fact that, as the president has done so,
ha POnsidara he hac ohfainad tho aSSur-
ance desired. Most of the cabinet fol- |
lowed the presidents example and left
the city or are leaving the city for brief
vacations. Those who remain say that !
the presidents proclamation speaks for
itself and decline to discuss the situs-
tion further.

No section of the United States feels
the silver depression more than Colo
RADIO, the great silver-producing state
of the union, where several of the
largest mines have already closed down.
and others are preparing to follow euit.
1t is proposed to hold mass convention
of representative men in Denver, to
protest against what is there termed a
'monstrous crime"
Ex-Gov. Houser, one of the largest
mine owners Of Montana, points out a
manner in which the decline of silver
may possibly bring with it its own rem
edy. He shows that every silver mine
that closes down reduces the production
of gold from twenty-five to forty per
cent of its total output, referring to the
fact that the bullion contains, on an
average, that percentage OF gold. The
result will be the contraction of the
gold product to less than $50, 900 per
annum, an amount which is consumed
every year in the arts alone. Money
will then become scarce, and gold will
go to a, premium, and this scarcity will
compel an increased use of silver.
Meantime, as Artemus Ward would
say, "the krisis is upon u.s." and while
financial doctors are disagreeing the
patient is getting very sick. There is
crying need, just now, for cool
headed statesman who wears large
sized hat.-Los Angeles Times.

IT is remarkable how prone the de-
mocrats are to do things for which they
have for many years abused the repub-
licans. For instance, it is stated at the
navy department that United States
steamship Dolphin has been dry-docked
at the New York navy yard, in order
that she may be put in thorough order,
as she is to be placed at Mr.. Cleveland's
personal disposal during the time he
spends at his Buzzard's bay cottage
this summer. Personally we believe IT
to be perfectly right that the president
of the United States should have gov
ernment vessel placed at his disposal
whenever he travels by water, it adds
a dignity to his movements that is in
keeping wIth-the exalted Office be holds
and really costs nothing extra to the
government, as the vessels and crew
have to be maintained anyway, but
the democrats have as a rule taken, or
pretended to take, an opposite view.

The most grotesque piece of paterna-
lism that tins country, says Harpers
Weekly, has lately affOrded-and the
assortment is considerable-is law of
the state OF Washington imposing fine
OF $500 for the sale of cigarettes, C ,garette
papers, or cigarette wrappers. The
motive is lsudabIe enough, being the
protection of young boys from tempta-
ticn ia respect to cigarette smoking.
But the means must be conceded TO be
disproportlonate TO the end. In addi-
tion TO which it must be said that the
measure is absurdly impracticable, and
could not possibly be carried out in any
community where there was enough
cigarette smoking to make it desirable.
But now comes the federal government
the grand paterndi, we suppose it may
be called-with its interstate commerce
law, and pronounces the inhibition of
the sale of cigarettes in the 'original
packages" brought from any other state
unlawful. So the small boy of Wash
ington loses the protection of the law,
and can indulge his unwhoiesome in
halation OF nicotine without fear of the
state courts or the MAJESTY thereof,

UNANIMOUS.

The tariff draft of the self,commis
stoned reform club government advis-
ers is dissented from by good emacrati
authorities. For instance, the Philadel-
phia Record, after giving reasons for the
use of both specific and ad valorem
duties, says:
But the tariff bill of the reform club,
in the affectionate devotion of it's au-
thors to a theory, would permit of no
exception, however resonable, to the
system OF ad valorem duties. Potatoes.
iron ore, pig iron, tinplate-everythin
in short-would be subject TO an ad
valorem duty, without the slightest re-
gard to the character of the import
Many of these articles differ so imma-
terially in variety that opportunity for
fraudulent differentiation would be
afforded in the substitution of an ad
valorem for the specific rate of duty
which has always heretofore been ap-
piled to them. Besides, some of these
al tiClOS dIo iidDlo 10 great nucIudOlODS
IN price; and the effect of the ad valo-
rem rate would be to compel consumers
10 pay a higher tax upon them the
higher they should rise in price in sea-
sons of scarcity. A duty of "a per cent
ad valorem on potatoes when the price
is forty cents bushel is slight: but IT
would become a serious tax upon con-
sumers when, IN time of potato famine.
the price should rise to 81 bushel.
An ad valorem duty would thus become
far more iniquitous .han the much
decried specific system of duties.
Experience shows that in the assess
ment of tariff rates it will not do to
adhere to rigidly to ret theory in be
half of either the specific or the ad
valorem system of duties. The simple
plan is to levy ad valorem duties upon
class of articles ranging widely in
qualities and prices, and to levy specific
dates upon specific articles having
little or no varieties of quality or price.

lleve that all epeculatiOns as to the time
of the meeting of congress INDUCED IN
prior to l p. N. today was guess work
pure and simple. 1t Is almost conclu-
siyely established that the calling of the
August session WIS DOT even G5I5rIniE-
ed upon until after midday today and
consequently could not have been COM
municated to any person IN confidence
or otherwise day IN advance.
The plain facts seem to be disturb
ance of values, arising from uncertainties
and as this situation was SO alarming. Mr..
Cleveland was at last com Delled to ac-
knowledge the unexpected contipgen-
cies necessItating the earlier meeting of
congress which he spoke OF In his cele-
brated interview OF Jnne 5.
The action of the British government
IN India brought matters to a crisis.
Previous 10 that startling event Cieve-
land manifested firm determination to
adhere to his plan OF calling congress
in September, but today he found tele-
grams on his table not only from the
eastern and middle states, but also
from the south, and even from some
silver states, urging that congress be
called together at the earliest day pos
sible to end the uncertainty, and he de-
termined 20 delay no longer. Even in
taking action the president took steps
as far as be could to prevent its being
known before the stock exchange closed,
SO as to avoid any appearance of ca
ercisiLg undue influence on the stock
market. The effect of the announce
ment upon senators and representa-
tIves In the city was very marked.
The proclamation, its effects and
probable result OF the action of the COM
ing congress is the leading topic of con-
versation in hotel lobbies tonight. The
action of the president, it is apparent,
meets with commendation and approval
by most of the members aud politicians
now in the city, and opinion is almost
general that the Sherman act will be
repealed. This proposition is not re-
futed, probably for the reason that the
tree-sllver men, who; Will conduct the
fight against the repeal, have very few
members in tho city. Free, silver men
however, will oppose any attempt to re-
peal the Sherman law with all strength.
The fact that the mines in the west
have been closed will be used as
weapon with which to force any waver-
ing member in their ranks back to the
fold.
