More BimetaIlic Theses.
To the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
1st-That gold is not an invariable
standard for measurement of value
2nd-That it is subject to the same
conditions as other commodities, and
its value governed by the same laws.
3rd-That the demand for GOLD for
money uses has been enormously, in
creased by the demonstration OF silver,
and considerably by it's greater use in
the arts.
4th-That with this increasing de-
mand, there has been until within the
past two years diminishing production.
4th-That the value of gold is deter
mined by its purchasing power-by the
quantity of staple commodities it will
exchange for.
6th-That today gold will buy twice
as much wheat, two and one-half times
as much cotton, twice as much sill
yer, and from 35 to SO per cent
more of such staple commodities as
are indicated in the tables of European
statisticians as it would in 1878.
7th.-That all writers on economics,
with very few exceptions, in Europe,
agree that the appreciation of silver has
been going continuously since 1873.
6th-That the decline In silver has
been due to the lessened demand for it
for money purposes.
9th-That this is shown to be fact by
the operation of the Bland Act whi ch
interrupted the decline and steadied the
value from 1878 to 1884; by the Sherman
Law, which raised the pr ice 90 cents per
ounce in 1850 during the period of it's
largest production, and By its rapid de-.
cline when the support of the Sherman
Law was taken away and the mints of
India closed to free coinage in 1895.
1Oth-That if the United States were
to open it's mints to the free coinage of
silver tomorrow on the basis of 16 to /,
silver bullion would be worth $1.29 per
ounce the world over.

Fifteen million dollars seems now to

There is some misunderstanding about
the rule for the employment OF labor in
the street department adopted by the
City Council. Many, we find, think that
1t means simply that the laborers
must be hired every month, and that
there is no prohibition against hiring the
same ones for two months, or any num-
ber of months, in succession. Their
notion is that it is simply a device to
make it easy to get rid of incompetent
men without actually disoharging them
They are III error however. The rule
forbids the employment of any laborer fcl
more than one month at time This is
its language:
Men employed as common laborers,
shall not be continued upon the pay
ro more than one month at time.
Would 1t be possible to devise better
scheme for the promotion of laziness and
shirking than this? Wonder if the Port
land & Rochester Railroad encourage
their common laborers to shirk by this
sort of rule?
