constitution. congress in 1872 provided for
the free coinage of gold and silver. and fixed
q standard value for each metal. The ratio
between the metals was then fixed at one
grain of gold to fifteen grains of silver, aud
the coins of both a legal tender for all debts
whatsoever
The writer confuses the undoubted
function of the government to say what
shall be money with the other assumed
function of not only saying what shall
be money, but of making and supplying
it. The act Of 1892 and all other acts of
the government until the BLAND-AL-
LISoN act of 1875 and the SHERMAN
act of $780, did not assume to furnish
money, except subsidiary coins. The
government examined the relative
market values of the metals commonly
used by commercial nations for money,
established their ratio-how many grains
of the unit, the dollar, of one metal.
was the equivalent of the other-and
then provided places where the owners
of these metals could take their bullion
and have it coined, and each coin i'm
pressed with die which is only the gov
ernment's certificate of its value.
1t did not assume the function of say.
ing how much of this metal money the
people needed and 90 into the markets
and buy the bullion and coin it, but it
properly left that to be supplied for the
people by the people, leaving the owners
free to coin it or sell it for other uses as
they saw fit. We hold this to be yet the
only function of the government. All
history teaches that when governments
have gone further and attempted to pro-
vide or supply money for the people, tie
attempt has been attended with diSaSter.
Under the stress of war the federal gov
eminent tried it, and it took fourteen
years after the war closed to recover
from its bad effects. The Confederacy
tried it, and WATTERsoN tells US that it
took five dollars to buy cocktail. The
history of the confederation and of the
states following the adoption of the con-
stitution is full of instruction for US of
today
The GLOBE believes in the use of any
metal suitable to be used as money. 1t
advocates the use of silver IN manner
which is just. 1t does and will resist
the plumber of the people proposed
under the gnise of free coinage at
ratio of 10 to 1, scheme having for its
real purpose the sole benefit of the sill
yer mine owners. 1t prefers to remain
Democratic. and oppose class legislation
whenever and wherever it shows its
head and however disguised.

SILVER AND EGGS.

10 listen 10 the ShrlekS OF the silver
ties one would conclude that the most
productive of all our industries was be-
ing slaughtered by rash iconoclasts who
only care to strike down and destroy
that which is greatest and purest and
best. To listen to the turmoil stranger
to our industries would easily conclude
that the one on which the greater por-
ton of the people depended for their
daily bread was being ruthlessly taken
from. them.
But it is a clear case of Much Ado
About Nothing" Instead of being one
of the most important, the silver indus
try is one of the least. Not only does
the aggregate of farm produce vastly
outweigh it, but the least and humblest
of the multiform products of the farm
exceed. it in value. When the value of
silver is put into one side of the bal
anced scales, and the eggs produced by
the industrious Lens of the barnyards
are put into the other. the eggs send
the silver side of the scales up against
the beam "kerchunk,"
EDWARD ATKINSON, that indefati-
gable searcher after facts. the apostle
of detail, iinds in the egg product of the
country standard of measurement and
comparison which he makes frequent
and effective use of. He now brings it
to bear against this silver craze in a
communication to the Boston Herald.
Eliminating from the silver product
that derived from smelling copper, in
which it is by-product. he finds the
output to be in round numbers $4,000, 900
ounces, worth, at rs cents. S37, 800, 900.
Analyzlng from all the data accessible
+ to him. he finds that SO, 333 men are en-
gagged in producing silver. earning $780,
100000 annually in the work. Allowing
for their dependents, the industry FUR
nlShes support to 100000 persons. AS
the average immigration is between
100000 and 100000 persons. he concludes
that, were the silver-mining to cease
entirely, the persons engaged in it could
be merged into other occupations with
Ut loss or disturbance.
Then taking his old base of egg con-
sumption as ascertained for MaSsachu-
sets. of one egg every other day for
each person in tine nation, the average
consumption is fifteen dozen annually
per person. Averaging the price at 10
cents dozen and the present popula-
ton at &c, 900, 900, the value of the egg
product yearly Is S132. 100000. If to this
is added the value of the poultry our
"hen mines" turn out easily $3.50, 900, 900
each year. Deducting 20 per cent from
the 'hen fruit for services of those en-
gagged in handling it between the farm
and the consumer it leaves to the owners
S105, G00.0C0 for their compensation, or
three and one-half times as much as the
value of the silver produced. That is, as
a factor of productive wealth for the ma
ton the fowls of the barpyard. who
never get any further notice in the daily
Or weekly press than the quotations in
the market reports-eXcepting the bien-
NAL displays of the masters of the flock
just after elections contribute $3.50 for
every 81 contributed by all the silver
mines of the nation.

Il BIT OF HISTORY.

EX-PreSident HARRISON said a few
days ago that the country saw "noth-
ing in the present business situation to
suggest any great gain to the country
as the result of the inauguration of
Democratic policies" If the eX-presi-
dents memory were twenty years long,
and his mental organs were not dyspep-
tic, he might have saved himself the loss
of standing which this querulous re-
mark brings him. 1t was twenty years
ago last fall that a Democratic candi-
date for the presidency was defeated by
a majority which seemed to be so over
whelming as to secure absolute suprem-
acy toIthe Republican party and its policy
for an indefinite period. In fact, there
were not wanting Democrats and DEM
ocratc papers then to declare that
that party was obliterated. The Chicago
Times termed it a ''putrid reminis-
cence."
Twenty years ago last March this trl-
umphant party inaugurated Its presi-
dent entrenched in absolute power Its
policies, commercial and fiscal, were in
full force. No change or reversal was
dreamed OF. All hope OF 1t lay burr ed
in GREELEY's grave. Before that adj
ministration. enforcing those policies,
had been in power six months the worst
financial cyclone the country had ever
experienced, compared with which the
present storm is only summer gale,
swept over the nation. strewing its path
with ruin and desolation. For six long,
weary years men toiled and saved to
eXtricate themselves from the wreckage
of that storm, during which Republican
policies remained substantially I'M
changed.
There should be that in this fact to
teach both the unsuccessful candidates
for the presidency and vice presidency,
aud especially the latter, that there is
nothing in the 'presenl business situa.
