Prof. Andrews concludes that ''at
the ratio OF 20 to the production Of
silver could not surpass that Of gold"
Ills opinion is TINT in few years silver
coined 20 to 1 would go to q premium
II the learned professor is approximate
ly correct, the 20 to ratio Is perfectly
safe. even from the money-lending
standpoint Silver producers should
not object to that ratio, since II allows
sl.o3 per ounce. Too many nations arc
bidding for gold. A country with o
rast silver treasure in the public vaults
IS foolish to let itself fall into n trcm-
BILE every time si. 900. 900 in gold is ex-
ported. A country whose prosperity
depends upon tho prices Of agricultural
products is foolish to encourage
money standard which lowers farm
prices and increases farm debts Tho
correct standard may be 10 to l.. Tho
Republic Is open to argument though
II is convinced that II 10 to / was the
true ratio In 1850. nothing but q return
Of France, Germany and India TO their
coinage regulations of 1850 could make
It the true ratio now. Whether the
ratio is 16 to 1, 20 to 1, or something
else, we shall never have our natural
prosperity until our people are relieved
from the gold standard monopoly by a
bimetallic coinage that will give us
the right to use our silver as q final

Gently developed affection OF Russia
for France was thought to have a
money-borrOwing side to it. 1t ap-
pears, however, according to a pre-
sumably veracious London paper that
the Car has never been short Of
funds. When threatened with finan-
cial stringency he simply put into
operation a law providing for the
seizure Of IS per cent. OF the money
transmitted to or by his subjects
through the mails The subjects get
government bonds for these forced
loans, and thus the eXcheQuer lis re-
plenished. The fact that Russian
bonds are about as desirable an in
vestment as stock in the late Chi
cago Spectacular has nothing to do
with the case The Empire would be
shaken to the foundation if the Gar
had to start for Copenhagen with only
299 trunks.

THE larger the number of German
battaliOnS the louder the cry Of the
German Emperor for peace. The
more he arms the greater his protest
that he is without hostile purpose.
The reichstag called together anew
has been addressed by the German
Emperor in person. Without COM
junction he informs them and
through them the country that he
proposes to tax further for the main
tenance of armies. In his speech
from the throne he says that Ger
many'S foreign relations are un-
changed. The country continues in
the closest friendship with allied
powers who with US follow common,
peaceful aims. Germany's allies also
maintain peaceful relations with all
the powers" The dullest intelligence
discernS the hollowness of these pre-
tensions. More than ever Germany
is an armed camp, more than ever it's
people are burdened by the mighty
cost Of maintaining a vast standing
army withdrawn from the fields of
gainful pursuit and eating the bread
of idleness. Talking peace to the
National Legislature the Emperor
upon the same day took part in a
different scene. The troops from
barracks in and about Berlin were
massed about the castle and required
TO take an oath of allegiance, a cere-
mony in which both PrOtestants and
Catholic chap,ainS, rOminally serY-
ants of the Prince of Peace but actu-
ally in the pay and entirely sub
seryient TO the Prince Of war, assist
ed. The remarks OF the Emperor to
these troops showed his belief that
he is in fact absolute as a monarch.
you have sworn to me allegiance. "
he said, "by the Fahnen id. and you
water" Even in this army, where
Individuality is dwarfed By the ne
cessities of military cjpline, there
must have been at least mental dis
sent against the proposition that
these great masses Of troops were
held together for no other purpose
than 10 serve an Emperor. Some o:
4 Tn I'D must have held the opinion
that their service was primarily 10

ism is the rule the atsolutist -four
