New Year Was Not Observed at All IN
Washington.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-To.day was
tho quietest New Year Washington has
experienced within the memory OF the
oldest inhabitant. Not even the
pleasant sunshiny weather, which fol-
lowed yesterdays rain storm, could
enliven the prevailing dullness. Tho
White House was not only house of
mourning, but was quarantined by
reason OF infectious fever. Consequently
there could have been no Presidential
reception had not domestic bercavem ant
prohibited it. The Cabinet officers and
leading officials of tho government. of
course, followed the example of the
chief eXectiye and tho entire omission
OF all official receptions deprived the
day Of all life and color which the bril-
liant uniforms OF the diplomatio corps
and officers of tho army and navy
usually give to the occasion.
Speaker Crisp being sick, though not
seriously so, Mrs. Crisp did not recsive.
AT nearly all the leading hotels the Gus
tom which has been observed for many
years by the lady guests, OF holding q
reception in the parlors, was this year
omitted. Very few private residences
even kept open house. With all the
Departments and places of business
closed there was scarcely anything ex-
cept open barrooms and closed churches
to dis tinguish the day from one of the
dullest of Washington dull Sundays.

Gold and Silver Money.

Gold basis, silver standard, gold standard,

two metals, every dollar IS good as every
other dollar, 60 cent dollars, confidence,
credit, inflated currency and many other
cant phrases, all entirely meaningless if
investigated, has been ruug into the public's
ears by the daily press till the public in
despair says 1t cannot at all, at all under

These terms as used by the daily press
are wholly without meaning and are used as
the iuggler uses his rapid manipulations, to
mislead and deceive his audience. The daily
press of the large cities is to-day the most
venal and dangerous institution in our civ
ilizatiou. From an instructor and moulder
of true and patriotic public opinion, which

great economic questions which are pressing

These terms as used by the daily press

Money Found

Is the unique title ola work by Thomas
E. Hill who presents his views in dialogue
on government banks. Mr.. Hill is inclined
10 claim the idea of government banks as
original with him. The system has many
advocates in all parts of the country. Mr..
Hill, however, attempts TO give details and
management of such banks. If any serious
attempt to advocate the establishment Of
government banks on the lines deliberately
laid down by Mr.. Hill were made, we feel
quite sure it would become the laughing
stock OF the country.
The very first proposition the author OF
the scheme advances, is to retain the old
usnry system which is the bane of our fnan-
cial system, and also of the whole world.
Mr.. Hill proposes to pay long time depos-
itors three per cent interest and charge
borrowers four per cent, Thus at the very
outset he would plant the seed Of the deadly
upas. OF usury, and shackle the tool of COM
merce and trade. His extravagant ideas
are shown in the enormous ealsries he pro-
poses for the bank officers, which are no less
than $4,000 each for the presidents of the
5000 banks, the number he proposes to estab-

1885 was initiated in Europe at a
later date with similar purpose to
enlarge the tribute due from the tax
payer and debtor to the creditor.
Holland demonetized gold in 1850.
In 1857 the German states and
Austria pursued a similar course.
The men who controlled public
affairs in those countries simply
desired to squeeze public and private
debtors. Nothing was heard then
about the superiority of gold as an
international money metal, and as a
metal of special utility because it
could be easily transported; nor was
any apprehension felt that use OF
silver alone would put Germany
upon level with Mexico and China.
In France, also an effort to 6emone-
TIE gold was made. in 1856, but for
tunetely it failed. Henry G Carey,
writing in his "Principles of Social
Science in 1858, when silver was
still dear, said of these experiments :
Had the quantity of silver increased
in like manner" las California bad
increased the quantity of gold) },
gold remaining the same, there
would haye been the same desire for
excluding silver" This is, in a
sense, prophecy which in our day
is fulfilled. Silver being cheaper,
the moneyed classes have discarded
it and insisted npon being paid in
gold. But it is strange indeed that
free and self ruling people like
ours should submit to such a wrong
as tamely as it was submitted to by
the poor creatures who lived under
the dominion of the East India
Company.
The above article is from the New
York Press, a leading republican
paper, and plainly shows the irrecon-
cilable conflict which is destined to
break up the two old parties on the
financial question.
The Philadelphia Press and Phila.
delphia Record, which assume TO be
leading oracles of the two old parties,
are the most servile clsquers of the
gold ring. Such antagonistic ele-
ments cannot long remain without
party disruption.

How a Lake Was Created.

geographical times, not long ago, as
speaks the scientist, but very long ago,
speaks the chronicler of human follies,
as there was deep valley on the east
ern slope of the Sierra Nevadas, at
the headquarters of the Truclee river.
About this valley lowered granite
mountains. But earthquakes came,
rents were opened in the rocks, and
from the assures poured monstrous
streams of lava. One of these assures
crossed the lower end of the valley,
and through it poured floods of molten
rocks. Stream after stream issued,
to cool in solid sheets and blocks, until
a wall was built across the valley two
thousand or three thousand feet in
height, and above it was deep basin
five hundred or six hundred square
miles in area. The storms that fell on
the granite and volcanic mountains
rolled in rivers to fill the basin, and
Lake Tahoe was created.

Decentralization in England and
India.
In q recent issue the Journal

In recent issue the Journal Of
Commerce of this city observed:
1T will surprise the gentlemen
who have been denouncing the
British conspiracy against silver
ever since 1915 TO learn that gold
was demonetized in India in 1885
that is, at that time silver was made
the sole legal tender.'
The purpose of this statement
appears to be to convey the impress.
sion that, as England demonetized
silver at home in 1916, and demone.
tized gold in India in 1885, she must
have acted in both cases impartially
and without special regard either for
gold or for silver. Only the general
want of acquaintance with the sub
ject on the part of the public could
induce acceptance of this theory.
When silver was demonetized in
England in 1916 the worlds produc-
ton Of gold relatively to silver was
as rs to rs. 1t seemed probable that
gold would appreciate in value, and
it was chosen as the British money
standard for that reason. In 1885,
however. gold had begun to cheaper
and silver to become dearer, because
the production of gold relatively to
silver had changed to the proportion
of 30 to IS. Silver then was more
valuable than gold at the ratios then
in use. A silver dollar in this coun-
try, for example, was worth about
$l.O2 The belief was general that
gold, because of increasing produc-
ton, would lose in value, while silver,
because of decreasing production,
would advance, and this belief was
fully sustained by the facts as they
presented themselves for many years
afterward. At no time for forty
years, up to 1873, had the American
silver dollar so small value as the
American gold dollar.
In 1888 India was governed, not
directly by the British government,
but by the East Indian Company, a
corporation which conducted robbery
upon scale so gigantic as to make
all other robbers in history appear
Insignificant by comparison. Be.
cause silver was the dearer metal,
and for that reason alone, the East
India Company demonetized gold in
India and required that taxes should
be paid in silver The motive was TO
place heavier burdens upon the
unfortunate people for the profit of
their masters. 1t is simply sublime
INSTANCE of the operation of the law
of retribution thGt the silver policy
which was thus forced upon India
for purposes of plumber is now, when
silver has become the cheaper metal,
producing profound and hurtful dis
turbance of British trade with India,
and is harassing the Englishmen who
conduct the affairs of that great
dependency.
The policy adopted in India in
