The St Mary Banner does the
foolish thing of reproducing a
lengthy article from the New York
Recorder (Republican), which
starts ont with the insincere and
Infamous inuendo, "that the time
has como when the will of the peo-
pie must be enforced alike upon
Congress and the President" It
is high time for Democratic news
papers to begin to exercise a little
Judgment or at least to give the
President of their choice, and the
members of Congress, credit with
having common sense, to say MOTH
ing Of patriotism and honesty.
There is no .utterance or act on the
part of Mr.. Cleveland that gives
room or license for any such criti-
cism by friend or foe.

The most amusing freak of lu-
macy now roaming outside of the
State asylum is the young quill
driver Of the VIM Parish Com
rade, who devotes about half of his
paper to calling the President an
imbecile and ass, and the other
half to absurd and untrue accounts
Of what does not take place at the
national capital The trouble with
this freak of hallucination is that he
measures everything good or great
by his own puny stature.

1t is an open secret that q part
of Mr.. Cleveland's plan is to imme-
diately coin the 133, 161, 1916 ounces
Of silver now in the treasury. The
following proposition of Congress-
man McCreary of Kentucky, one
of our national delegates to the
late monetary conference at Brus-
sells, is also said to be in high ia
vor and likely of adoption:
Resolved by the Senate and House Of
Representatives Of the United States Of
America in Congress assembled, That q
commission is hereby authorized and
constituted, to consist Of three Senators,
to be appointed by the President of the
Senate; three Representatives, to be APP
pointed by the Speaker Of the House Of
Representatives, and three experts to be
selected by the President of the United
States, with authority to determine the
time and place Of meeting, and TO take
evidence in Washington, or in any other
city of the United States, before the
whole committee or subcommittee, and
to inquire into and report:
First-On the change which has taken
place in the relative value of gold and
silver, and whether the change is due to
the depreciation of silver, or to the ap-
probation of gold; cause Of change, and
whether permanent or temporary; the
effect thereof upon finance, trade, COM
merce, agriculture, labor and other inter-
ests Of the country, and upon the stand
ard of value in this and other countries.
Second-On the policy Of maintaining
the double standard in the United States,
and what should be the legal ratio be-
tween silver and gold when coined.
Third-On tho best means of reorgan.
izing the banking system and of restor-
ing confidence in commercial and fnan-
cial circles and promoting international
bi-metalism.
Fourth-The report Of the commission
shall be presented to the Senate and
House Of Representatives not later than
the first day of January, 1894.

The Financial Problem.

4
The Financial Problem.
In the outset we desire to assure
our readers that we know but pres
cious little of this subject, but we
have read a great deal about it, and,
as it is question. of national and
worldwide discussion, we think it
right to give, as near as we can,
the questions at issue, and the eff
fects sought to be accomplished.
The two extremes are represent
ed, first by those who hold to a
double standard of gold and silver,
and second by those who believe
in single gold standard. There is
also a third idea that obtains to a
small extent, the Fiat" or rag ba-
by" idea, represented principally
by the Populists. Between these
warning factions, the great bulk of
the Democratic party, as repre-
scented by Mr.. Cleveland, may be
regarded as standing, calmly dis
GUESSING the situation, and endeav-
oring to so frame legislation SO as
to result in the greatest good to
the greatest number of the people.
In legislating upon this subject
in 1890, with what view it is not
necessary to discuss. Republican
Congressman adopted the notorious
Sherman law, which requires A.
SOC, 900 ounces of silver bullion to
be purchased every month, and in
stead of coming the silver into
money, hold it in bulk, issuing
therefore treasury certificates re-
deemable in gold or silver" The
effect of this law has been to"demon-
atize" or put silver out of crcula-
ton, as the pressure brought to
bear by foreign nations, where
gold is the standard, causes de-
mand for these certificates to be re-
deemed in gold, thereby exhaust
ing our supply of gold, which is
so limited in quantity as to be in
sufficient to transact the business of
the country. Hence a panic en-
sued, in which the banks and
wealthy individuals have boarded
their gold to the great injury of
the masses.
There is a perfect avalanch of
slush and rot brought into the dis
cussion of this issue by charlatans
and ignorant demogogues, who are
seeking to ride into place and po-
sition on the prejudices and dis
content of the people. Wild and
ill-considered propositions of all
sorts are advocated, and the great
political parties themselves are in
measure divided as to what is
best. The bankers and brokers

Where is the mistake? Regular jury
term of court 4th Monday in September
and the jury drawn for the Sd Monday
w. p. GUYNEs.
There is no mistake at all, so far
as this paper is concerned. The
regular jury term begins on the
third Monday in September, and
the jury has been properly drawn
and advertised for that date.
Bro. Guynes has got himself all
mixed up by putting confidence in
the patent side of the Montgomery
Mail, notwithstanding our warning
to the public against the mistakes
and inaccuracies that the young
gentlemen of that paper are liable
to commit. By paying strict at
tention to the CHRONICLE Bro.
Guynes will save himself lots of
agony in this line, as we seldom
get such matters wrong.
Thinking our friend may have
had some reason for solicitude we
called at the clerks Office for in
vestigation, but found it was only
a little error of the Mail, as above
stated However. after holding q
solemn consultation over the mat
ter, it was agreed that something
awful might happen at any time,
and the best thing was for Bro.
Guynes to move into Colfax, 80 as
to be here at all times and see that
the Clerk, District Attorney and
Judge make no mistakes in the
line of duty.
