The bankers are very much afraid
that free silver would drive gold out
of the country. A greater danger is
the driving of the army of unemploy-

bread.

"The money of the world" Great
Scott! Who ever heard of it, Every
nation on earth legislates its own
money, from gold to chunks of dried
Goldfish. If we don't want their cod
fish, we needn't take it. Chinese pa
per money doesn't circulate around
here, because we don't need it, and
you might travel all over Europe
without having United States gold
piece showed in your face. The fact
is, all this talk is fOoliShneSs. Each
government can make and set It's own
value on its own money. This is
good enough for all home purposes.
We never have been, are not now and
never will be, coming either gold or
silver for use in the old country.
Trade between nations always has
been mere barter and exchange.
Except when Wall street is trying to
wreck the government, very little
gold is ever shipped to Europe. The
merchant takes his gold, silver and
greenbaCkS to the bank and has it
exchanged for the money of the coun-
try he wishes to trade with. The
same thing is done on the other side
when American goods are wanted.
British pounds are not in circulation
here and American eagles are not cur
rent in England.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

The report of the Acknowledgement
contains the usual summary of the af-
fairs and proceedings of the depart
ment Of justice for the past year, to-
gether with certain recommendations
as to needed legislation on various sub
iects. 1 cannot too heartily indorse
the proposition that the fee system as
applicable to the compensation of Init
ed States attorneys marshals. clerks of
federal courts, and United States COM
missioners, should be abolished with
as little delay as possible 1t is clearly
in the interest of the community that
the business of the courts. both civil
and criminal should be as small and
as lnexpensively transacted as the ends
of justice will allow. The system is
therefore, thoroughly vicious which
makes the compensation of court of
ficials dependent upon the volume OF
such business, and thus creates con-
met between proper execution of
the law and private gain which
cannot fail to be dangerous
to the rights and freedom Of
the citizens, and an Irresistible
temptation to the unjustifiable ex
penditure of public funds If in adfi-
ton to this reform another was in
augurated which would give to the
united States commissioners the final

IMMIGRATION.

The superintendent of immigration,
through the secretary of the treasury,
reports that during the last fiscal year
there arrived at our ports 44O, 1913 i'm
migrants. OF these 1,069 were not per-
mitted to land under the limitations
of the law, and SIT were returned to
the countries from whence they came,
by reason of their having become pub
lie charges The total arrivals were
14O. O34 less than for the previous year.
The secretary in his report gives an
account of the operations of the ma
rine hospital service and of the good
work done under its Supervision pre-
venting the entrance and spread of
contagious diseases. The admonitions
of the last two years touching our
public health, and the demonstrated
danger of the introduction of contag-
ious diseases from foreign ports, has
invested the subject of national quar-
antine with increased interest. A more
general and harmonious system than
now exists, acting promptly and di-
rectly everywhere, and constantly OPP
Grating to shield our country from the
invasion of disease and at the same
time having due regard to the rights
and duties Of local agencies would, /
believe add greatly to the safety of
our DeODle.

THE NAVY.

The report of the secretary of the
navy contains history of the opera
tons of his department during the
past year and exhibits most graft
flying condition of the personnel of our
navy. He presents a satisfactory ac-
count of the progress which has been
made in the construction of vessels
and makes number of recommen-
|dations to which attention is especial
lily invited
During the past six months the de-
mands for cruising vessels have been
many and urgent. There have been
revolutions calling for vessels to pro-
tect American interest in Nicara qua.
Guatemala, Costa Rica. Honduras.
Argentine and Brazil, while the con-
dition of affairs in Honolulu has re-
quired the constant presence of one
or more ships. With ali these calls
upon our navy, it became Necessary
lin order to make up a sufFi9ient fleet
to patrol the Behring sea, under the
lmodus vivendi agreed upon with Great
Britain, to detail to that service one
vessel from the fish commission and
three from the revenue marine.
The progress in the construction of
new vessels has not been as arapid as
was anticipated. There have been de-
lays in the completion of unanrSsd
vessels, but for the most part (tfey
have been such as are constantly oc-
curing. even in countries having the
largest experience in naval ship bttild-

failure of the contractors to deliver
armor as agreed. The difficulties skem

with satisfactory promptness. AS a
