BIMETALLISM.

The merits of bimetallism cannot
be determined upon the basis of
mere abstract theories. We must
consider it in its bearing upon the
monetary situation as it exists to-
day, and has existed through Gen.
turies of time. The money of the
world consists of two metals in
about equal proportions. Some
thing like two-thirds of mankind
use silver exclusively, and the re-
naming one-third use it quite
largely in a subordinate way. 1t
is conceded by even gold mono
metallic writer's that universal
gold standard is impossible--that
if the vast hordes of Asia could de-
monetize silver and adopt gold as
their standard, it would literally
destroy the industries OF Europe
and America, and shake the very
foundations of modern society.
But the opinion is well nigh uni.
versal that such change cannot
and will not be made and that sill
yer must continue to be one of the
great money metals of the world.
Hence the question, how can it
be utilized to the best advantage,
and especially by the United
States.
The simple and general answer
is, by putting it upon an exactly
equal footing before the law with
its sister metal, gold. But why2
That is the practical question.
Because, first, in no other way
can we get the full benefit of both
If gold is made the standard and
silver is used subordinately, the
latter fails to perform the functions
of money. In fiscal affairs, both
governmental and private, point
is ultimately reached at which
nothing but money of the "stan-
dard," that is gold, will satisfy the
demand. Hence a scarcity Of this
particular metal is a prolific breed
er of panics. 1t shakes confidence,
destroys money values, deePPresses
business and brings suffering among
the The people.
If silver were in every respect
the equal of gold, the maintenance
of a gold reserve in the treasury
would be a matter of but very lit.
tie consequence, and the shipment
of a million dollars of the yellow
metal from New York, would scar
cely be noticed. AS it is, the
whole country is thrown into a
cold sweat whenever the gold re
serve runs low, or when exports
of that metal increase.

CARLISLE wants to reduce the
currency of the country to gold,
copper and checks. This will be
inconvenient, and the poor East
erner who can hardly walk around
when loaded down with a silver
dollar will need sympathy when
he has to carry 100 copper cents in
lien thereof.

The administration is understood !. to be
of the opinion that united front on the
Venezuelan question will bring about a
speedy back down on the part of England,
and its belief is perhaps well founded.
England can scarcely afford to complioate
herself with us at this juncture. She
has plenty of trouble on her hands in the
other hemisphere. She is unpopular all
over the continent of Europe and Russia
is watching her, ready to take advantage
of any mistake she may make or any
complication she may involve herself in
But even were England not exposed to
attacks at home war with us would be
disastrous. Her great commerce makes
her exceedingly vulnerable to attack. Ter
rible losses could be inflicted upon her by
our swift cruisers. Her North American
province would also be at our mercy and
be speedily oyerrun by our troops.
That she will run all these risks for the
sake of a little..territory in South America
is extremely improbable. 1t would be
little short of madness on her part to do

tended to be final and to forbid the hope
that anything could be effected by further
diplomatic correspondence. In his mes
sage the President says practically that
the time for negotiation with any hope OF
an amicable arrangement has gone by,
and that the United States must now
meet the question squarely, whether 1t
will permit England to perform as judge,
jury and executioner in Venezuela or VIII
insist that the South American republic
receive fair treatment. The Pr esident's
suggestion is that the Congress appoint
commission forthwith to determine the
rights Of the two countries in the terri
tory in question in fair and Judicial
manner, and if the territory in dispute
or any part of it be found to belong to
Venezuela, to insist that Venezuela shall
not be disppiled Of her rights. While the
President deprecates any i'll feeling be-
tween England and the United States he
believes it to be the duty OF the latter to
resist British aggression in this case even
to the point of war. Practically the
message is a recommendation to Congress
to stand by and defend. the rights of Ven
euela, even if to do SO will bring on
conflict with England.
The Venezuelan question has been re-
garded all along by people on the inside

into very grave one, and though we
still believe that war will be averted.

II ENGLAND is so certain of the justice
of her claim to the territory in dispute
ons the Yer ezuean boundary, as Lord
Salisbury Processes, it is difficult to see
why she should hesitate to submit it to
arbitration Certainly there is no humil-
iation involved in great power like
England submitting controversy with
feeble state like Venez uela to an i'm
partial jury. Nobody would consUrue it
as Indicative of timidity or want OF
firmness on the part of England. On the
contrary it would be universally regard
Ell as an act of justice and magnanimity
toward feeble power. Under the cir
cumstances England's refusal is almost
tantamont to confession she is not SO
confident about the justice of her claim
as she processes to be.

The demands of the philadelphia cleo
trio car employees are not unreasonable
perhaps, in view of the responsibility put
upon them; but it is not at ali probable
that they will succeed in realizing them.
There are too many men out of employ
ment The resort to rioting thus early
makes it evident that the only hope OF
success lies in preventing new men from
taking their places by force. But that
policy cannot succeed as it will bring the
civil and if ecessary the military arm OF
the government down hard upon the
strikers
