RESULT OF A GOLD STANDARD.

There are two elements in q gold stand.
ard which make 9 third inevitable.
Adopt a gold standard and make the
Government responsible fer the redemp-
tion Of all the circulating medium, and
the sure result is the issuance Of bonds.
Gold-grabbing is going on fercely
somewhere all the time. At frequent in.
~tervals the Government which under
takes to furnish paper money and to re-
deem il on demand will be called upon
to supply gold for shipments and com.
mercial uses. No Government can main.
tain a steady policy Of piling up a sur
plus revenue. because no people will en-
dure to be taxed for no definite purpose.
The only alternative for a Government
which is responsible for a gold standard
currency in gold-grabbing times is to
borrow gold whenever the redemption
stock runs low, as it will frequently.
The lamentable spectacle OF another
issue Of $50. 900. 900 in bonds is only a
new symptom Of the disease called the
gold fever.
We believe that the President 10 mis-.
taken in supposing that sound finance
calls for this issue at present. But that
is not the essential mistake. The con.
~tinuance Of the gold standard is the blum.
der which brings the rest.
There lie nothing in all finance more
miserably grotesqne than the perform
ance Of the greatest Of silver owning
countries in running up q national debt
to maintain . monometallio gold cur
rency.-St. Louis Republic.

THE BALTIMORE PLAN.

This is the plan on which Cleveland is
said to be working to give Us . new cur
rency. This plan is in opposition TO that
Of the Peoples party. which is for the
sbolishment of our national banks and
for the issue by the Government Of all
paper money needed by the people, in
addition TO the coin which the Govern
ment can issue, which shall be Of gold
aud silver at the ratio Of l6 to l.
The New York Times thus foreshsd-
ows what the Baltimore plan is:
What we must do now is gradually to
reduce the volume Of Government paper,
replacing it with bank currency imme-
distely. perfectly safe and perfectly elias.
tic. Fortunately that lie entirely practi-
cable, and, still more fortunately. the
best minds in the financial world are con.
| WINGED Of the fact and are steadily press
ing the plan. The President will take IL
up in bis message at the approaching SEES
sion OF Congress. and though nothing
may be done at that session, the discus
sion will prepare public opinion for q
sound policy. When that is adopted. the
swelling or shrinking of the gold in the
Treasury will be q matter Of very little
Importance and Government loans will
not be needed.
But the Times 10 disingenuous. II does
not state the Baltimore plan fairly. That
plan Is for the Government to give up
the issue Of our currency to our national
banks. The Government will retire oil
it's paper currency, repeal the provision
of o National Banking law requiring the
deposit Of bonds TO secure circulating
notes, and to allow those banks to issue
notes up to so per cent Of their paid cap
ital, subject to one-half OF one per cent
a year on the average outstanding. Pro-
vision is made. too. for emergency Of
circulation" to the extent Of t~hree-quar-
ters of the paid capital, subject to an ad-
| ditioual tax. The banks are to maintain
with the Treasury q redemption fund
equal to five per cent of their average
circulation.
The Times is undoubtedly right in say.
ing that nothing may be done ct the
approaching session of Congress" on this
subject. And nothing will ome Of Ii
either until Congress is willing to vacate
the sovereignty Of the Government and
pass il over to the hands Of our national
bankers. -virginia Chronicle.

The Presidents message to Congress
was submitted to that body at the open
ing Of it's regular session last Monday.
1t is . very lengthy document-makiog
no less than thirteen columns OF small
type. The President treats Of our for
eign relations, civil service reform and OF
army, navy and Indian affairs. He CON-
pliments the army upon its efficiency and
discipline during the strike last Summer
and the report Of the commission sp-
pointed to investigate the strike and it's
causes.
He dwells at length upon the issue OF
bonds to replenish the gold in the Treas
ury, and while he admits that there lie
some doubt as to the authority Of the
Treasury Department to issue bonds he
svows his determination to continue is
suing them whenever be deems it neces-
sary. He does not intimate that the
Secretary of the Treasury has the OPP
tion Of redeeming treasury notes in gold
or silver, as best suits his convenience
and the condition Of the Treasury,
though such is the fact.
He recommends the plan suggested BY
the Secretary Of the Treasury for modi-
flying the banking laws. Absolute di-
vorcement Of the Government from the
banking business is, in his opinion, the
ideal relation Of the Government to the
circulation Of the country. This condi-
tion cannot be Immediately reached, but
the plan suggested by the Secretary is q
step in that direction.
The new tariff law is not satisfactory
to the President. He wants coal and iron
on the free list, and, 80 far as the sugar
scheduls is concerned, he would be graf
lied to zee every particle Of duty on re-
fined sugar stricken out OF the tariff law.
He argues that il the sugar refining in
t~erests, which are now protected. still
lAnguish to the extent Of closing refner-
les and discharging thousands Of work
men, it would seem to be hopeless to 4
pect to revive them by legislative aid.
He evidently believes that the closing Of
the reineries at this particular time is
for the purpose Of impressing Congress
with the idea that they cannot be run
proftably under the present law.
He seems to ignore the silver ques-
tion, except to express the opinion that
none Of our citizens are willing that the
financial obligations Of the Government
should be reduced to a silver basis. He
does not seem to think that q large ma.
jority Of the people do not care whether
the financial affairs of the Government
are conducted on a gold. silver or pa.
per basis. so long as labor and it's pro.
ducts are 10 demand at fair prices.
On the two most important questions
in which the people are interested-the
construction Of the Nicaragua Canal and
the payment by the Pacific railroads Of
their debts to the Government-he has
not q word to say, and the inference Is
that the President has been pulled
down" on those matters.
On the whole, the President sustains
the chiefs Of the various departments Of
the Government, but that is easily &C.
counted for from the fact that Cleve-
land bosses them all in the discharge Of
their duties.
The message is made up principally Of
Presidential suggestions, and most Of
them are bad.

FOUR MONTHS IN A CALM
Under the Tropical sun without
Wind to Stir a Sail.

Held for nearly four months in an equa-
torial doldrum or lead sea calm until her
provisions were exhausted and her crew on
p~erience of the American ship Edward
O'Brien, which had long been given up for
lost.
The ship left Victoria, B. c., early in De
cenber last for London with a large cargo
of wheat, and nothing was heard of her I'M
til June %, when she was sighted by the
steamer Calico in latitude 46.31, longitude
25.16, flying signals telling that she was
short of food. She was supplied by the
steamer, and Captain Written brought to
New York news of the safety to the under
writers, who were demanding heavy premi-
ums for reinsuring the vessel and cargo.
1t was learned that the ship had made a
fine run down the Pacific coast and around
the Horn, but when near the equator she
had been caught in one of the dreaded calms
that prevail in that latitude. For three
months she remained within a distance of
half a mile from where she first struck the
calm, and during that time there was not
enough wind to fill even the lightest of her
sails. Finally a small current, probably
made by the storm many miles away, APP
peared and served to send her slowly out of
the locality, which threatened at the time to
become a place of death for all o board.
On this current the ship drifted for almost
another month. Then a welcome vino car
ried her back into the paths of navigation.
When the Calico was encountered the
water supply of the Edward O'Brien was ex-
hausted, food was almost down to the last
ration. and in a few more hour the men on
board would have been beyond help. After
being supplied with food and water the ship
proceeded on her way to London.-ANcktand

ALLEGED DECLINE OF MARRIAGE

Miss Anthony Thinks We Are on the
Eve of an Era of CeIibacy.
Miss Susan B. Anthony is quoted as say
ing that we we are on the eve of an era of
unmarried women. The grounds for her
opinion are that under modern social condi-
tions young women are becoming more and
more se~lf-dependent. The conclusion she
draws, however, is not quite evident. The
assumption that s~elf-support on the part of
young women causes them to regard mar
rage with disfayor implies that they have
sought marriage in the past for sordid and
selfish purposes. This is a misrepresentation.
1t ignores the influence of affinity and affec-
ton, which nave generally dictated matri-
monial alliances.
The most that can be said of the general
dependence of young women in the past is
that 1t has narrowed in a measure the
natural choice of the heart. Self help III
young women means simply more freedom
for the exercise of feminine tendencies. 1t is
absurd to say that such freedom checks or
smothers natural instincts. Its effect is just
the reverse unless counteracted by other in
fiuences. 1t gives full scope of the affections.
1t makes n-sorted unions less probable. 1t
places young women, as regards social rela-
lions, on a level with young men. Facts
bear out this conclusion. Marriage may
be entered upon at a later stage of
life now than formerly, but among the
masses of the American people it is as
common as ever. If marriage has lessened
in any material degree at all, or if there is a
growing aversion to it clearly marked, it
will be found among the wealthy classes
who are governed by social ambitions or
among young men who are either unable to
support families or are anxious to make a
brilliant match" That intelligent, self
supporting young women show, as a rule,
any such dissemination is nowhere manifest.
