THE simple fact about silver is that
there is too much of it. When it was
rare and scarce it could be used for cur
rency as it became common and plenti.
ful It's value huctuated so that It was no
longer useful as money A metal TO be
used as money for its intrinsic value
must, Of course, preserve that value
Silver did not comply with that rule.
Only a few years ago when the first
silver legislation began, the value Of an
ounce Of silver bullion was 1lS cents
Various acts Of legislation by the Repub-
lican party have caused temporary ap.
precautions in the value of silver bullion,
but the general tendency has been
toward depreciation. The price has de.
clined till today it may be ranging in.
definitely somewhere between 90 and 60
cents an ounce. However the silver
cranks may regret this abundance,
and consequent depreciation Of sill
yer, we cannot conceive what they
can do about it. Silver is
no better than iron for currency only
that iron is more plentiful. It was
regarded as good for currency at one
period in the history Of the world
But the same fate overlook the iron cur.
rencY of the Roman empire that has
now made silver currency useless. A
few years ago the relative intrinsic
value Of gold and silver was as one to
sixteen, now IL Is as one to thirty
Meantime gold has remained almost
steadily at the same value without
material nuctuation That is one OF
the chief requisites Of metal currency.
without that quality gold would not
be superior to silver or iron. For q
man to proclaim himself friend OF
silver currency in spite of these objec

by the whole civilized world is
just about as sane proceeding
as IL would be to wish tC

FAILED TO DEFACE STAMPS.

The Case OF Andrew wilhelm Well

tives.
Andrew Wilhelm, a saloon-keeper at
No. Al Shipley street, who, as was
stated yesterday was arrested on the
charge Of neglectiug TO deface internal
revenue stamps on beer kegs, was ar
raigned before United States Commits
sloner Smith and held in $500 bond for

lished an article calling attention TO the
fact that several internal revenue detec
tives were working in the city In the
endeavor TO punish those liquor and
tobacco dealers who failed TO deface or
erase the internal revenue stamps on
beer and whiskey kegs and cigar boxes
Two of these detectives discovered that
Mr. Wilhelm had failed to destroy the
internal revenue stamps on beer kegs.
They filed the information with Commits
siouer Smith, yesterday morning. and
Mr.. Wilhelm was arrested by Deputy
Marshal Hughes
On being arraigned he admitted that
the stamps had not been destroyed, but
that the fault was entirely with his bar
tender, who neglected the matter in his
(Wilhelms) absence
The detectives belong to the secret
service corps and will, it is said, file in.
formations against several other dealers
in few days
The case against Mr. Wilhelm will
possibly be compromised as he has always
kept a reputable saloon The penalty
is very severe, and includes fine and

AMONG the twenty Eve names dropped
from the pension rolls ,on one day this
week eleven were notorious deserters
some had not served ninety days in the
army as required by law; several
women were receiving pensions after

been in the military service at all. It is
likely that all Of these persons OF
nearly all Of them were known to the
local Grand Army Posts and yet the
dishonesty and reproach that will
necessarily be visited upon the old

checked or even exposed. The Phila-

There is no peril TO the pensions of all
who merit them but it is not creditablt

thoroughly qualified business man, by

the duties of the Water Department. He
has been identified with the best interests
of the city commercially and .socially for
many years and though strong parti
san who has heretofore exhibited a futile
and fertile ambition for politi
cal preferment he has always
preserved the personal respect which
is due to every citizen Of wholesome life
and good Intentions We have had oc.
casion to criticize the strength Of the
protection sentiment compared with the
weakness Of logic in Mr.. Hastings' S
political utterances but we never had
any reason to doubt his sincerity as a
man or his integrity as a citizen His
protected business is sufficient explana-
tion Of his protection sentiments. In
the Office of Water Commissioner we
feel assured that he will attend TO the
interests of the city intelligently and
honestly without reference to politics.

Scarcely anything in the

the revolutions IN the Book

ing. No other trade was as
deep in ruts or held as ten
aciously to ancient usages.
Whatever we said or did it
was held next to impossible
that a Dry Goods merchant
could be as much of a Book
seller as any other. We insist
ed that Books should be treat
ed as any other merchandise
bought in large quantities and
sold at small advances on same
basis as other goods are sold.
We have carried our point
and to-day sell as many Books
at retail as any other establish
ment in the United States.
We keep a complete assort-
ment all the year round, and
holds nothing as bats or adver-
tisementS or lob lots. We use
all the power of purchasing to
make low retail prices.
For example-we frequently
take a thousand copies of a
single book-on which as in
the instance of Hawthorne's
cloth-bound
Twice Told Tales,
Moses from an Old Manse,
the publisher makes a penny
each, the binder a penny each,
the seller--each, and the
public gets the book for
the little sum of zoe each.
This treatment of Books
holds good throughout the
