The Same Argument,

There is striking similarity in the
way the argument is stated in favor
of free silver coinage by the advanced
bimetallists of the United States, Ger
many, France and Great Britain. In
this country, aside from the mine
owners of The silver states, whose num-
bers are inconsiderable, the rehabilita-
tion of silver as an equal money metal
with gold is urged in the agricultural
interest, and most strongly in the
western and southern states, where the
cotton and grain product is the great
staple of the people. 1t is maintained
that the unprecedentedly Low price of
agricultural products is due to the de-
monetization of silver, followed by the
increased purchasing power Of gold.
1t is the same in Germany, where it
IS" the agricultural class or the
agrarian party, as it is called over there
that advocates free coinage, and has
forced the German parliament to ac-
ton looking to another monetary con-
ference. This is opposed by the COM
mercial interest, to some extent by the
manufacturing interest," and of course
by the great banking interests of the
country.
In Great Britain it is the Conserya-
tive or country party that most strong
ly favors action looking to bimetal
lism. 1t is opposed by the Libe rails.
now in power, whose greatest strength
lies in the cities and the manufactur-
ing districts. As in Germany, the de-
preston of British agricultural in
terests is attributed to the gold stand
ard OF values.
In France We see the same condl-
ton. Premier Ribot in his speech in
the chamber of deputies ON February
2nd found an explanation for the
wide spread agricultural depression
that prevails in that country in the
demonetizs ton of silver. He said:
81 am Of the opinion that the abolition
of the free coinage of silver, in which
the German government took the
initiative, precipitated the agricultural
crisis. France was forced to close
her mints to the free coinage of silver,
as the United States was, by the atti
tude of England and Germany. She
would be very glad to reopenth them un-
der satisfactory international arrange
ment.
The truth or weakness of the state
ment that the fall in the selling price
of agricultural products is due to the
cause assigned is largely a matter Of
deduction and asgiment, ;and'incapa-
bio of mathematical demonstration.
Yet the belief is entertained by
millions in this country and Europe.
1t is the moving cause for the re-
assembling of another International
conference, and of the confidence en-
tertained by many that the world is on
its way to Encouragement Of money
metals that will result in a much
more enlarged use Of silver.

THE Michigan Democrats came out
squarely for the free coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to l at their state
convention last week to nominate can
didates for supreme Judge, to be voted
on at the spring election. The Re
publican congressional convention on
Wednesday to nominate successor to
Senator Burrows from the district he
represented adopted this resolution,
which is quite curiosity in IFS way:
,sResolved, That we believe in the
largest possible use of silver consistent
with the maintenance of our rational
credit, and that we also believe in the
use of both gold and silver as the
money of our nation, and that silver
should be restored to its time honored
lGsitiop ia the nations finance.
Ifanybody can tell what this means
in ihe way of q policy for CT againsS
the silver issue as it stands. we would
be glad of the information.

Literary Notes.

The publication of John S G Alb
bolts History of Napoleon Bcnaparte
began in 1851, as a serial in Harper s
Magazine, and was continued during
more than three years. Pbenomenally
successful at that time (for, from first
to last, it proved itself to be the most
popular serial that had ever appeared
in an American periodically, its place
in the esteem of the general public was
afterwards assured by an adequate
publication in book form. The two
handsome volumes, containing almost
1900 large pages, admirable typo
graphically and generously illustrated,
are now p,rhaps more than ever in
request, as one result of the wide
spread interest in the iilustrious sub
iect of the work.

ON TO SALT LAKE

The people of Los Angeles may never
again have so auspicious an opportunity
as the present for securing the legislation
necessary to insure the building of a rail
road TO Salt Lake. The occasion, how
ever demands not only prompt action,
but correct action. 1t would be worse
than futile to secure the passage of law
embodying the essence of the desired
legislation but void merely because of de-
fects OF form. We have said that the law
should be pas sed and its consttutionality
left to the courts but this does not mean
that we should court constitutional objec-
tions. If there is any constitutional OBJ
lection going to the vital essence OF the
bill then we say let the courts pass upon
it, but the act that embodies the central
idea of the measure should be free from
all formal objections 1t is the opinion OF
eminent constitutional lawyers that the
prepared bill, as it now stands, empower
ing only counties of uhe second class to
build railroads. is special legislation and,
as such, unconstitutional and void. In
view of this possibility it would certainly
be the part OF wisdom to frame bill
general in its nature and applicable to all
of the counties OF the state, and yet en-
bodying the central idea of the Cincin
nat. plan. Such measure would not only
eliminate the most serious constitutional
objections thus far interposed, but as
matter OF expediency, it would seem to be
the better course, for it would enlist the
active and enthusiastic support of those
counties that desire to follow the example
of Los Angeles, and Ill this way greatly
increase the possibility of securing the
desired legislation. The only formidable
objection that would be feared will come
from San Francisco, but with the counties
themselves and Los Angeles arrayed
against San Francisco the outcome will
at no time be in doubt. We would sug
gest therefore, that a bill incorporating
the essential princip of the Cincinnati
law, but modelled upon the form of the
California statutes that provide for the
construction of county highways be pre-
pared and introduced. If the two thirds
vote necessary TO its introduction cannot
be secured, it can be presented to
the committee along with the Mathews
bill and the bill introduced yester-
day by Assemblyman Bula. The three
measures may thus be considered to-
gether by the committee and the bill
insuring the greatest possibilities if sue
cessful, reported back from the committee
with the recommendation that it do pass,
whether this bill be the Mathews bill or a
committee substitute. In conclusion we
advise the delegation to Sacramento not
to attempt the procrustean method of
forcing the Constitution of California to
IL, 4.
law conform to the Constitution, while
Incorporating the general plan OF the Gin
cinnati law. Do this, and you will in
crease the chances of passing the bill
while securing at the same time a consti-
tutional measures depart from this course
and you may find after you have passed
your bill that you have merely seated
yourselves at a Barmacid feast.
