Silver Purchase Law.

1t is well to bear in mind the way
in which the Sherman silver pur-
chase law acts to produce a lack of
confidence. 1t provides for the
constant issue, at, fixed rate, of
legal tender notes for the purchase
of silver. These notes, together
with the outstanding United States
notes, constituted the legal-tender
currency of the country issued by
the Government. They form,
roughly speaking, about one-half
the currency, the remainder being
in silver certificates and National
bank notes. which are not legal
tender, and standard silver dollars,
which are. 1t is perfectly plain
that the Government cannot go OH
forever adding to its notes while
not adding to its gold. The know
ledge of this fact has caused the
general lack of confidence. which
was slow and gradual at first, but
became more marked as the notes
increased and the gold fell off.
For fourteen years the govern
ment has always held ct least $780,
100000 in gold in the Treasury.
While it held that amount, distrust,
though it had its influence and was
increasing, was not acute, and did
not directly and obviously affect
ordinary transactions. When, in
the downward course Of the gold
reserve the limit of Sl00,00O,000
was reached and passed. everybody
felt that there was no certainty bow
low the reserve would go or how
soon gold payments would become
possible. Then the lack of conf
dence became intensified. took the
form almost Of a panic, and proved
so obstinate that the whole coun-
try has suffered from it, trade has

cussi0ns.

The man who owns q newspaper, the
man who writes for newspapers, and the
man who reads newspapers, will each
alike find the newspaper discussed
from his point OF view In the August
number OF The Forum. There has, per-
haps, never before been published in SO
prominent II way the inside facts about
the life and the work Of newspaper writer's
as are set forth In the most straightfor-
ward manner by Mr.. J. w. Keller, Presi-
dent of the New York Press Club, Every
man that wishes to enter journalism ought
to read this account OF the actual expert
ence that awaits him. Mr.. G. X. Miller,
the editor of New York Times, points out
the unreasonableness of much OF the cur
rent criticism Of the Press, and elbows
what great service 1t really does. Mr..
John Gilmer Speed, by series OF tables,
shows how the proportion OF gossip has
been widely increased,in late years, espec-
tally in the New York newspapers, and
proportion of important news decreased,
and he esks II the newspapers do not
really give the news. These articles pre-
sent ain inside view OF journalism with
frankness and fullness that Is perhaps
unprecedented.
Among the articles In the August
Forum will be.two about Congress and
the Financial Crisis--one on "India's
Action and the Sherman Law" by Mr..
Horace White, and the other on 'The
Doom OF Silver a. a measure of value,

On the Eve of Marvels.

Two or three recent discoveries
or inventions promise much for the
welfare of mankind, if they are
successful as inventors hope they
will be. The first is our old friend,
the elixir of life. When first put
before the public too much was
claimed for it. 1t was reported to
promise to make the old young
again, and hitherto incurable dis
eases were to be banished.
This extravaganza having gone
down before experience and ridi-
cule. Ii was taken up in earnest
to ascertain its limits and capacity.
According to the reports of DR..
Brown-Sequard and the 1920 ply
sicians who have been testing the
remedy they have found it effica-
cious in several serious diseases.
One of these is locomotor ataxia,
or creeping paralysis. Of 324 cases
in which it was tried 314 were
greatly ameliorated, with hopes of
absolute cure in many. So in 300
cases of cancer, the hemorrhages
and the pain have been stopped by
its use. Marked decrease of con-
sumptive symptoms, such as lack
of strength, fever and sweating, has
followed it's use. And similar re-
suits have been obtained in palsy,
hysteria, malarial fever and other
diseases. According to the latter
tests it does not cure any malady,
but increases the nutrition of nerves
and muscles, thus enabling the
system to resist the encroachment
Of disease.
Another invention of great USE
fullness, if successful, has been
tested in New York. 1t is a
method of disinfecting sewage, by
DIR. A. E. Woolf, of that city. At
a cost of - day it will dismfect
10000 gallons of sewage every
"a hours, killing the germs of all
contagious diseases. 1t will disin-
feet putrid meat, destroying the
odor and restoring it to healthful
color, but probably does not make
it a nutritive food again. 1t is
even hoped that it will annihilate
the germs of disease in the human
body. However,, much remains to
be demonstrated of it's practical eff
ficency, 1t is hopeful.
4 third invention is the one on
which Edison is now at work.
Namely, to save the 90 per cent of
energy of coal now wasted in its
combustion. Should he succeed
the cost of everything made by
electric or steam power would be
cheapened, and the necessaries
and Injuries of life brought within
range of all to a greater extent
than was accomplished by the i'm
vention of the steam engine.
The principle for which he is
striving is the development of
electric currents Immediately from
the coal. In case he succeeds
there would be no further use for
steam boilers and engines. Steam
ships of 10000 horse power con-
Stunning only 220 tons of coal in
stead of 1900 as now, would beat
the present speed Of ocean grey
hounds.
We are living in an age Of mi
racle and convenience, but the
next generation may look back
upon it as we do upon the flint-lock
musket, the stage coach, or even the
viking and caravel epoch.-Detroit

parties in Abcrdeen's social history. The
ladies of the Congregational church gave

large attendance con pleasure BENT All
conventionality was thrust aside, and
every one present entered into the ENJOY
ment OF the evening with hearty good
will. Much credit is due the ladies in

gram. which was rendered as published

declined. His letter OF declination is Il
plain statement OF his contribution to the
campaign fund, which he belives he had
as good right to make rs any other man
has to give Of his time, and is positive
and absolute denial Of the charges made
as to the motive for giving. lnconclusion
he says that selfrespect compels him to
decline. that unleserved rebuke may not
be brought upon the administration. In
connection with this il might be pertinent
to inquire why, other things being equal,
as the president seems to think they are

his money should not be entitled to as
much consideration in relation TO appoint
ments as the one who contributes OF his
time.

freezing, the day was like rainy day in
April, mild and SOFT and everyone had
something for which 10 give thanks.
On that day in the outdoor part OF the
festivities Seattle and Tacoma played
football in the rain and mud, and Tacoma
got beaten the Portland team downed the
University boys; Princeton college beat
Yale by score OF & to 0, before a crowd
of so 900 people, and Harvard WON from
the University OF Pennsylvania by 24 TO

Thanksgiving game, as that day practically
ends its season, but while the frosts will
now cut off this pastime in the greater

thanks every day until the next national

THE MESSAGE.

The message of President Cleveland
given to congress on Monday is compre-
hensive document. covering all matters
of public interest. The recommendations
are wise and conservative. and with q
view to the good OF the whole. Upon the
Hawaiian question he reitcrates the sub
stance of commissioner Blount's report,
and says when advices are received from
minister Willis that special message
will be sent to congress. He is most pos
tive in recommending that we should
trun resolutely away from alluring exped-
tents and be content with nothing less
than 4 lasting and comprehensive tinan
cial plan. AS the plan is left to the wis
dom of congress, and no appeal made for
an issue of bonds. only that the existing
law be amended to the advantage Of the
government, this part of the message will
not meet the approval OF either the gold.
bugs or silver men, but the artificial con-
ditions surrounding silver having been
removed, time itself will assist in the
solution.
The tariff question. which is paramount
to all others, receives ample consideration
and with no uncertain sound. The duty
to fulfill the promises made is vigorously
asserted. The doctrine OF the Democratic
party that revenues should be derived
from the luxuries and not the necessities
of life is emphasized. The worthy pen.
sioner receives kindly consideration. but
the fraudulent pensioner is condemned as
an unworthy associate for the former
The entire message shows the president
to be in sympathy with the people, urging
with earnestness the enforcement OF rigid
economy in public affairs.
