Engineering aud Mining Journal,
1.-THE English are having a forcible OBJ
ject lesson" on the insuficiency of the
gold supply. Our purchases of gold,
though only about $35, 900, 900, have
already sent the Bank Of England's 5
discount rate up from y per cent, at
which it stood month ago, to 5 per
cent, which it reached on the oath
inst. Where would it go if we should
buy, at whatever premium was neces-
sary to get it, $50, 000, 900 or 800, 900, :
900 more? 1t is certain that if universal
bimetallism is not adopted the United
States must increase its gold reserve by
several hundred millions of dollars
Where will it come from, and to what
point will the Bank of England raise
its rate to hold its gold? This object
lesson will be more efficient educator
of English 6nanciers and statesmen
on the sufficiency or insutficiency of
the gold supply, than would tons Of
volumes containing the most learned
and conclusive arguments of experts
and statisticians. How long would
the Gladstone government, which
opposes bimetallism, last with bank
rate of 6 or per cent, caused by the
insufiicieney Of gold?"

AwED BY THE JANiroR.

he is the man who can laugh tho

off their hats to him. He gets
presents not only at Christmas, but
all the yoar round. He demands

"Even the tenants are careful TO
keep him in good huinor. for he can
make lots Of trouble for them. He
will not have . stingy man In the

he finds tenant is falling behind In
his gratuities ho looks around for
another tenant, and the first No /

the landlord informing him that his
fiat is needed.
"Yes. sir, the janitor is the jolliest
man alive when all is going well-
when the coal bins arc full and tho

vegetables and preserves. OF course
he has the keys to all these closets.
He has been known oven to heap Goals

PERTINENT COMMENTS.

Senator Perkins, Of California: at
Is absurd to say that our coin silver
has caused, or is causing, the present
lack Of confidence l am sincere be-
lievcr in the use and coinage Of both
gold and silver, and do not think it
wise to disparage either by the agency
of force bill. If we commit this
country to gold standard alone we in
evitably increase the burdens of the
mass Of our people, and unjustly en-
rich select number or class of in
vestors at the general expense

Representatire Co5eea, Of Wyomng'
Europe is now maintaining 81 800
600, 900 in silver coin at parity with
gold as low as l53 silver to of gold.
Germany maintains over 500, 0G0, 900
in legal tender silver at a ratio of less
than IA to !. Yet have heard no
one urging Germany to change the ra
ito to IS to l, nor the cry of the dishon-
est dollar. France maintains 800, 00O,-
600 of silver in circulation at a ratio Of
15a to l. Yet nowhere in Europe do we
hear the cry of the 63-cent dollar. 1t
is only in this country that men can
be found so lost to patriotism, pride
and honor as to discredit the produc-
tions Of their own people. for we pro-
duce half the silver of the world
1t is estimated that the
Rothschilds and the Bank of England,
as principals and agents, hold over
so, 900, 900, 900 in bonds, stocks ana
various forms of Indebtedness against
the people of the United States. The
rise Of 20 per cent, then, means a
sure and unfailing demand against us
of $4,000, 600, 900 more of our proper
ty than justly belongs to those cred
itors There is no language to prop
erly stamp such rank injustice. 1t is
confscation and robbery of the most
high-handed character, perpetratcd
under the forms of law"
Senator Hansbrough Of .Norh Dn-
kota:-"The per capita of gold in the
world is little over 50. This would
give the United States about $50
900, 900 as its share of the world 3
gold. CT course VIC have more than
that, because of the great extent and
diversity of our business interests, bnt
our per capita circulation is no more,
no less than the amount of the re-
deeming money to each inhabitant.
We may put into use every ounce of
silver the world produces, but so long
as it stands as commodity, upon a
gold basis, it is no more than iron OF
tin, or any other commodity. When
the creditor wants gold liquidation be-
gins, and our silver and agricultural
products, which are always on par
with silver, must be sacrificed to sup
ply him with it. The frequency Of
panics or hard times depends entirely
upon the selfish whims of the creditor.
This condition of things will not be
changed until gold has been partially
relieved Of the burden placed upon it
~ the money Of ultimate redemption;
until some medium is selected to do a
part Of the work being done by gold,
and in which gold itself may be re-
deemed at par. Silver is the most
convenient, the most stable money
natal to BE- had for that purpose.

N Z. HILL candidly believe
that the independent and unrestricted
coinage of gold and silver by the Unit
ed States ut the ratio Of l6 to is safe,
wise aud absolutely essential to our
future welfare. Justice demands it,
Humanity demands it. The burden
of debts is already intolerable. The
gulf between the rich and poor is al
ready too wide. Let the possessors of
wealth remember that prosperity
which is founded on oppression Of
those who are less favored and the i'm
poverisbment of the masses of the
people will not endure and will inev-
itably lead in the end only to disaster. ="

Governor Waite. 'Are the Ameri-
people to be permitted to receive a
fair return for their labor and apply it
to their own profit and advantage, or
are they to allow contraction of the
money Of the nation to continue until
it will be impossible for them to re-
ceive any compensation which shall be
adequate for the value they create.
and impossible for them to discharge
their debts to the loaning syndicates
in London and New York? All other
questions are subordinate to this one.
The people of the United States have
contracted debt when products of
the soil, the workshop and the mine
sold at good prices. They are now
asked to pay this debt in high priced
money earned with low-priced prod
ucts. The solution, in great part, of
this question, exists in the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of l6 to l.

regret thot we see him leave. We hope,
however, that he may soon again visit

Hon. Virgil A. Lewis addressed a
large audience in thd school building
last evening, on the subject OF ''Associ-
alton" The speech was able and
scholarly, and was much appreciated by
| the audience.
Education" said he, is not the mere
storing up OF knowledge. 1t is the APP
plication of the acquired information TO
the practical parts Of life." He recited
several instances in support OF this
statement. Mr.. Lewis made very In
teresting address.
Prof. Crago recited the selection,
"Going Home" This was well recited.
The address by Mr.. Lewis, the reel
taton by Mr.. Crago. and several selec-
