THE quietness of Bastile day in
Paris was owing to the massing of
10000 troops in the city and not to
any peaceable inclinations on the
part of the Socialists, who are only
waiting for a favorable OppOrtuni-
ty to make it interesting for the
metropolitan police, of whom two
hundred are still unfit for duty on
account of injuries received at the
hands of the late mob. There is a
general uneasiness and feeling of
insecurity caused by the fear of
another uprising as soon as the
military is withdrawn. France is
a hot box just now, and there is no
knowing when, where or for what
cause a general rising of the So
cialists may occur.

will come over the spirit of her

NOT DEMoNETIZElI.

| 1nefe Is considerable loose yak
about the decentralization of silver
but it would seem from a reading
of the conditions on the "silver
certificates" that such demoneti-
zation is more in idea that in fact.
These silver certificates are issued
upon the deposit of silver in the
treasury, and upon their own face
it is declared that "This certificate
is receivable for customs, taxes
and all public dues and when so
received may be reissued." The
only difference between this sill
yer certificate and the greenback
is that the latter was made legal
tender for all debts public and
private. 1t looks to the ordinary
observer and business man that
the currency that the govern
ment receives for customs and
taxes and all public
dues is good enough for the
commercial transactions of the
country. Not only so, but one
would like to be informed how any
determinations are made between
the rich and the poor in the matter
of money when it is plain that all
mOney-silver, gold and currency
alike-is equally acceptable to the
government and is so accepted for
all public dues and taxes and GUS
toms. Why gold should be con-
sidered the money of the rich man
and silver the money of the
poor when gold and silver are
equally good in the eyes of the
government for all that it collects,
is one of the things that would
puzzle Old Nick, provided his sooty
majesty ever puzzles his brains
over such thing as finance. The
money, whether coin or currency,
that the government accepts from
the importer for duties, that
the tax collector takes from the
taxpayers for their municipal and
state and national taxes, that is
received for all public dues--this
money is good enough for the
people. 1t is all moonshine to talk
of one money for the rich and an
other for the poor, and 1T is all
wrong to make silver an exception
to every other commodity and
force the United States govern
ment to purchase silver, whether
it needs it for coin or not, in order
to bolster up the producers Of sill
yer. What the business of this
country asks is that the cOmpuls-
DRY purchase of silver shall cease
and that tinkering with the cur
rency come to a perpetual end.
