been forced by the SHERMAN act to issue
forty nine million dollars of treasury
notes in payment of silver bullion that
we didn't want anyhow, and that, if we
had wanted 1t, we could have gone out in
the open market and bought at nearly
third less than the price we paid.
Well, if that were true it is not the
fault OF the silver men. They did not
want the s HERMAN law. 1t was passed
to prevent the passage of law which
would have been acceptable to them and
for the welfare Of the country But ace
the country, have paid just what would
have had to be paid lin the open mar
ket' for the silver which the SHERMAN
law requires to be purchased monthly,
no more, no less.
1t is by such misleading statements
as those we have quoted that prejudice
IS being worked up against silver and
silver men, as though they were defraud-
ing the nation and making themselves
rich at the public expense. It is told to
the people OF the east that silver can be
produced for twenty cents an ounce,
and great many people believe it. They
need enlightment.
In the large majority of instances, sill
yer mining cannot be carried on at a
profit when silver is below seventy five
cents an ounce, and if the white
metal does not take a speedy
rise, that will be emphasized by
the closing down OF many more
mines and the shutting of from the mar
ket of large quantities of silver. This
may have beneficial effect, not only in
convincing the old theorists that they
have been in gross error on this question,
but in creating demand for the white
metal which will raise it to living price
on the market.
However, it is not the personal benefit
of silver producers that the agitation for
silver money has in view. 1t is the needs
of the country for more money, the de-
llverance of the debtor class from the
grasp of the creditor class, and the bet
terment Of the condition of agriculturists
who, under the cruel rule of gold, are
gaining little more than half the value of
their commodities. The silver miners are
suffering with all other producers by the
prevalent monetary system. and if there
are any robbers under it it is the specula-
tors in gold.

Who Are the Robbers

An eastern Republican organ which is
very rabid on the silver question, regard
ing producers OF the white metal as SO
many robbers OF tie public treasury, thus
attacks the sellers of silver bullion to the
government under the Sherman law:
They hold the weapons at Uncle Sans
9hea6 and compel him TO fork over the
difference between one dollar and twenty
nine cents and eighty-four cents, which
they put into their pockets, moi in the
form of silver, mind you, but in good
hard gold, worth its face value the wide
world ever.
This worshippar OF the yellow deity
seems to be under the impression that
silver is sold to the government at its
coined value instead of at the market
rates. And yet the daily dispatches.
which it publishes. bear the tidings that
the treasury department is haggling with

secure purchases. as required by the law,

Nothing In II.

A statement is going the rounds of pro-
Chinese papers to the effect that mis-
sionary at Canton has related an incl
dent in regard to Chinese department to-
wards Americans which puts this country
to shame in comparison and offers a
'sstinging rebuke.''
The story is that he intended to build a
chapel at Quong Tung-whereve that
may be-and placards were posted in the
neighborhocd denouncing all Christians,
He appealed TO the local magistrate and
showed him copies OF the treaty between
China and the United States, claiming
under it protection. The reply was.
ssTreaties must be kept.n Proclama-
tons TO that effect were posted and
punishment threatened on all who would
disturb the missionaries. This is cited
as a contrast to the action OF this govern
ment under the GEARY act. There is
nothing in the two cases which gives
rise TO anything OF the kind. Ii Chinese
were building Joss house in this
country and hoodlums or any one els
interfered with them, they could gain
protection equal, at least, to that afforded
the Christian missionaries in China
Under the GEARY act Chinese are re-
CURED to register. II they refuse to obey
the law they are to be deported. The law
may not be constitutional: it may be
deemed unjust. But if American resi-
dents in China were required to register
they would probably obey the law, as
they do the requirements as to registra-

A Suicidal Epidemic.

The epidemic of suicides which occa-
sionally sweep all over the world, some
thing as bodily diseases attack mankind,
gives use to numerous theories as to the
cause. None of them appear very salts

answer very well in a few instances, but
it happens that peculiar kinds of suicide
are seen almost simultaneously IN places
remote from each other and between
which there is no apparent communica-
ton.
Sometimes the weather is supposed to
have great deal to do with the suicidal
tendency. But that only. answers in
winter and times of gloom, and the sum-
mer often produces Just as many cases as
in the opposite season when cold and
hunger prevail. Quite recently there
have been a number Of suicides and the
lack of apparent reasons Tor them in the
sunniest time of the year has led people
to marvel greatly.
Sudden alteration OF mind is the easiest
superficial. solution of the problem. But
the utter absence of any Indications Of
insanity previously, in many of these in
stances, lead TO the belief that this is only
a shutting method of accounting for the
mystery. And If this remarkable aberra-
ton is the cause, what occasioned in so
many cases the sudden and previously
undeveloped insanity?

pressed that there is ''higher iaw'' gov

individuals under peculiar circumstances.
