WHAT THE CHANGE HAS DONE.
We have had seven months Of change. anc the
contrast is too appalling to be contemplated with
compacency by any American citizen. The wheels
of industry idle; the splndes do not move and
the FORCES black with disuse. 1T the uni

Committee last month that more than 30 per cent

ole thing in sight APPEARED to be the silver pur-
bered that the coinage Of the silver dollar was

Of 1873 provided for the coinage Of less than
month. Under this act there had been coined w
TO July. 1890. about four hundred and twenty mill

United States. and these three hundred and sixty
thirty millions of silver certificates. These certid

OF course any honest Secretary Of the Treasury
would construe this requirement TO redeem
such certificates in gold whenever their redemp-
ton in silver would endanger the parity between
the two metals The act of 1890 immensely
preferable to the Bland act which 1t superseded in
the character of the currency for which IL pro-
vded. while it added but little increase TO the
volume of the currency in circulation, and
were expressly assured that it's provisions for pur-
chasing would absorb all the surplus silver pro-
duced In the country and dispose of the production
of the American mines. While | voted for the act
of 1890 under the conditions then existing. there
has been no time since 1t first became apparent
that its workings would not enhance the price OF
