Review Of Yesterday in Brief.

London prices came in fractionally

although the good effect OF the Govern

partially offset by the de-

fears as TO unfavorable action by the
Northwest directors. The tendency for
the Grangers was slightly toward q
able irregularity in the Southern Railway
stocks and coalers, with business
as rule very limited In volume.

 CHICAGO, May 22-A meeting of the Western Passenger association lines
 which was to be held tomorrow is of for an indefinite period.
 The action of the Union Pacific in de-
 manding that association lines leave out the question of all east bound business
 which the Union Pacific received
 through the same agencles it derives
 west bound emigTant business, is the
 rock on which the split is likely to come.
 The Atchison has said 1t will agree to |: the proposition of the Union Pacific if 8 like privilege is extended to it, and pending vote on the question the as-
 sociation meeting adjourned to enable the recording of votes of absentees. A meeting of the presidents of the western lines will be held Wednesday to settle as far as possible the troubles
 of- the western freight rates, and if the
 passenger troablee are not over by that time it is extremely probable it will take hand also.

THE FLUCTUATIoN OF SILVER

Keseph, or the white metal, as it WAS
 called by the Hebrews, has known
 endless fluctuations, yet has never
 ceased its vain rivalry with gold.
 Solomon was the first apparently to
 discredit it, and when silver grew so
 abundant in the Holy City that 1t was almost as plentiful as the stones of it's streets, he very naturally refused to receive it as currency. He would take nothing but gold, we are told by Joseph us, for his merchandise, but paid away his Appreciated silver to Egyptian traders for chariot and pair of horses. On this he rode out in state in the morning to his country-seat at Ethan, 8 paradise of rivulets and gardens. Nothing could be bought or sold at Jerusalem for silver, says the historian, and only gold was valued.
 The Greeks, when they first visited Spain, made their anchors and common utensils of silver. The white metal lost it's value. But this could not continue long, for the richest silver mines at last grew unproductive, and ID the seventh century B. C.the metal had once more risen to higher price. It could once again compete with gold, at least at distance. The first form of money was iu stamped bars or ingots, with the weight certified by an official

CHAs. A. DANA, democrat, responsible for Mir. Clevelsnd's election, editor oi the New York Sun, for all of which "the Lord have mercy on his soul, pub lsbes a schedule of democratic princi- ples "up to dste," as he now sees them. He says:
 Every body knows what the demo. cratic tariff platform was in 1892. AS amended by the facts that platform to- day reads thus: "We believe in the robbery of the great majority of the American people for the benefit of the few, and also of the few for the benefit of the majority.
 "We believe in a tariff for protection with incidental revenue. We cordially endorse the principle of the Mckinley tariff, while reserving to ourselves full liberty to alter the scale and distribution of the protection it af- fords to American industries.
 I've believe that protection is censti- tutional, and that the constitution is protectionist. "We point with pride to our general treatment of such tru- ts as are directly dependent upon protection.
 "We point with pride to the income tsX as the culmination of class legisla- ton.
 "We hereby warn all persons against harboring the star-eyed goddess, as we shall hereafter pay no debts on her &C., count"
 All this change in less than two yearsl

THE desperation of the democratic senators could not have been made palmer than it has been by the adop- tion of the expedient of alleging that an attempt has been made to bribe two senators-Hunton and Kyle-to vote against the tariff bill. The motive for this action, which is clearly 8 put-up job, was to frighten the democratic sen- ators who are disposed to vote against the tariff bill into believing that they will be charged with having been
 bribed if they do not vote for the bill. Senator Lodge promptly offered reso- lution for the appointment of a commit tee of live senators to investigate the alleged attempt to brlbe senators; also | the charge that the concessions to the sugar trust contained in the proposed amendment to the sugar schedule were | made in return for a hslf-mlllion- dollar contribution from the sugar trust to the Cleveland campaign fund. It remains
 to be eeen how the democrats will vote on this resolution; they have already
 voted down one resolution providing for
 an investigation of the charge that dem-
 acrstic senators made large sums oi
 money speculatlng in the stock of the sugar trust.

HERBERT BROwE - Ma
SILVER GAINING.

That the cause of silver IS gaining ground every day may be learned from the manner in which it is treated by the leading journals of the country. This, for instance, from the Cincinnati En- quirer, is just ss good strong silver talk as any one can ask for:
 "ls there an intelligent reader who has not notics d that there has of late been tremendous growth of sentiment, on both sides of the Atlantic, in favor of the full use of both gold and silver as money? The finsnciers of the world are quickening in ther pace towards the position of the ardent free-coinsge men of America. They are declaring frankly that an abundant use of silver is neces- sary to the wholesome regulation of the worlds volume of currency. Tbe lesson they teach. IS 8 simple one. It is one which ought to be familiar to ali the people who can read and write in the United States. Finance is only abstruse when it is unnecessarily befogged. The plan truth IS that there is not enough gold in the world, and will not be, to back the paper circulatiop, and if we are to have a stable. redeemable cur rency, silver must be employed.
 "These foreign fnanciers are again throwing out invitations to the United States to join monetary conference for agreeing upon terms under which silver may take front seat in money matters. We'll, let them come on with their propo- sitions. If they are agreeable to this country, and do not seek to make the United States take the woret end of the bargain, they may be accepted. Mean time, let no silve man relax his efforts to have the silver question settled at home, or at least to make such showing as shall give us power and influence in a conference. Let all remember that the monetary conference siren has sung her seductive song many times. Let us not lay down our arms pending an inter national settlement, for in any event such an agreement cannot be arrived at for many months to come, and perhaps never"

TUCSON is coming through the fiery furnace of hard times largely purified of the passion for expenditure. Outlays in every branch have been abridged and particularly in the way of sending mon- ey abroad. It IS probable that not a town in the world of it's size has sent more money abroad than Tucson. Only that Pima county, to great extent, produced its own wealth from its mines both from the money paid for prop -rtles and the precious metal removed in addition to its other resources of the railroad, cattle, ranchlng, etc, this enor- nous drain could not have so long been borne. The number of money orders purchased at the postoffice and express office all these years has been some- thing nigh to appalling. The pinch of hard times has been nothing here to what it has been in the east, but it has pinched, and it has not been without it's good results. Money has been kept closer home, and economy, economy, economy, has been the watchword. One important factor bids fair to be light this year compared with years past. The vacations of Tucsonites will not be taken abroad nearly so much in '94 as usual. For every vacation taken to California or the east during the heated term from s200 to 5000 has gone. This factor ID the aggregate is very import ant. The town is drained and the peo- pie come home to earn more. There is no necessity for going outside of Arizona to find cool and pleasant places to spend the summer. The mountains of Ariz- onR have climate so cool that every night of the hottest weather blankets are requisite. In the Catalinas, Rip- cons. Santa Ritas and Ruachucas may be found some of the ioveliest spots in the world-where the moan of the pines, the songs of the mountain spring and the mountain bird msy be heard. Camp life is very jolly, and furthermore it is very cheap. Tucsonites should pack up their tents and hie them to the mountains. Then their spare cash will return to them instead of being forever lost in Californi 8; and at the same time vacation novel to many and pleasant to all may be had.

seal. Tbe earliest known ingots were of gold. But about 700 B. c. Mir. Head tells us money was fret coined, and in the British museum may be seen 8 Babylonian stater of electrum, 8 ming ling of gold and silver, apparently the oldest coin in existence. Silver was for time the common currency of the Greeks, but at last they adopted gold standard. The fine gold pieces of Philip and Alexander have become the models of all later coinage.
 At Rome the earliest money was of bronze; then silver came in as the stand ard and when it grew too abundant, the Roman emperors borrowed the gold coinage of the east. The Roman sol lidus was worth, in gold, a sovereign or half-eagle. But nowhere did silver money fuctuste more widely than at Rome; in the Hannibalic wars the the currency was constantly debased 1; in moments of danger money was hoard ed. But the victories of Caesar and his general robbery made it so plentiful at Rome that land doubled or trebled in price and money sank in value. Under Augustus, in the quIet of peace, it is probable that silver WIS worth about one-tenth its weight in gold. With the decay of tte empire debased currency filled the world with disaster, and aided in the general destruction of commerce and the arts.
 Silver in the middle ages rose in value with rarity, and was at times almost on an equality with gold. In Richard the First's time in England four shillings would buy COW, a bull, or a horse for blowing, and tenpece sheep with fine wool. Yet again, with the conquest of Mexico and Peru, money fell, prices of labor and land increased; but the rapid growth of trade ana commerce St the same period revived the demand for an honest currency. Silver and gold moved on together ard kept up a cer- tain ratio to each other that was never greatly disturbed. It is only recently that the immense yield of our western mines has nearly equalled that of an cient Spain when silver sank into dis credit. But it will no doubt soon re- vive again. p.-Harper's Weekly.
