CONSTITUTED, an. a~ppreciahle part Of the
currency. In, 1856 $1,000 were coined.
in 1889, $1,000; in 1910, se1.OO5; in 1871
sra, 900; and similar small amounts in
succeeding year, the highest being sl4s,-
s1s, in 1912, Only three times there
after did the, amount coined, in. any one
year exceed 100000, till 1859. Ia that
year s6ss.5OO and In 1860. sssS,9SO were
coined, after which it again fell of.
The total scarcely exceeded 100000,
and the most of this had been exported
or melted down.
In 1878 the coinage laws we're revis-
ed. A trade dollar vas suhstited for
the old silver dollar. The entire. west
ern portion of the country voted for
this change, including Stewart and
other free silver men of to-day.
In less than three years more trade
dollars were coined than the entire
amount of silver dollars coined from
1898 to 1878. They we're coined in still
larger quantities during the next three
years. They were mostly used in the
Chinese trade and saved exporting that
much gold.
In 1878 the coinage of silver dollars
was resumed on a plan which guaran-
teed the circulation of both metals. and
as we said, several hundred millions
more were put into circulation and are
circulating to-day"

not even fight against the appropri
alton for. the execution of the income
tax. We we believe that the tax is
odious and ought not to be. enforced,
but as the democrats have placed it up
on the statute books, it may, perhaps,
be agOod thing to let the country see
just how unpleasant it is. There will
be speeches against it, but no factious
opposition
Representative Russell. of Conn.,, a
republican member of the house COM
mittee on banking and currency, does
not believe that the treasury can get
any relief from inacial legislation, no
matter what its nature, until the tariff
has been rearranged on the lines of
protection and a sufficient revenue pro-
vided to meet the needs of the govern
ment. He recognizes, as do most I'M
prejudiced students of the financial
situation, that those two bond issues
would have been made even if no
treasury notes or greenbacks had ever
been presented for redemption in gold,
In short, that while those bond issues
were nOminaIIy made to replenish the
gold reserve they were in reality made
to meet the deficit caused by the new
tariff law. AS to the financial bill now
before the house, Mr.. Russell believes
that the administration can force il
through the house, but has his doubts
about whether Mr.. Cleveland will care
to do so, now that he has had an op
portunlty to learn what the country
thinks of it.

territory. Notwithstanding that
the rapers and strangers of justice
gained their point. (stOle the leSisla-

weight Of justice to surrender some
of their ~ill-gained plumber and have
been compelled to seat republicans
who they at first refused to recog-
nize; and, after the gang of demo
cratic administration highwaymen
having been compelled to recognize
republicans who were legally elect
ed, the cuckoo democratic organ, the
Santa Fe New Mexican, laps up its
own Yomit which 1t spewed in the
face of common decency in order to
conceal the abortion performed by
the democratic quacks at the time of
the organization Of the Legislature,
by telling the people that all honest.
ly elected republicans have been
properly recognized by the demo
cratic legislature and making an
awkward attempt to explain why
the recently seated republicans were
not recognized at first, and after a
fashion acknowledging the fraud
committed by the administration
heelers against those republicans.

The Silver Dollar.

Mcpherson Republican: at was the
old democratic party that stopped coin
ing silver dollars. 1t was the republl-
can party that ~re-established the coin
age and put several hundred millions
into circulation"
Lyons Democrat: For genuine un-
adulterated gall we commend the Nc
Person Republican as having appropri-
ated the entire gall sack of the repub-
lican party. Such stuff as that cannot
deceive ever the Hodgdon, of the Eagle,
to say nothing of the "colored man and
brother" who has furnished republican
majorities in the moreimportant states
fol more than twenty years. If there
lisa fifteen year school boy in this coun-
tay who does not know the above de-
c~laration to be an unadulterated falsi-
fication of history, schools are estab-
lished and newspapers are published in
Yain."
Mcpherson Republican: LET us
see. Perry's Political Economy, page
394, says that the coinage of the silver
dollar was suspended by the order of
President Jefferson, May /, 1906.
Not another silver dollar was coined
for thirty years.
The statute of June %. 1884, chang
ed the coinage ration of the the two
metals by reducing the number of
grains Of gold In a dollar. This brought
the country to a gold standard. This
act was approved BY Andrew Jackson.

Some republican papers say that
the democratic leaders in New Mex
leo. in order to further their nefarl-
Gus political schemes, will attempt
the adoption of the tissue ballot
which will enable them to capture
the elections. We don't see any ne
eessity why the democratic gang of
ballot box suffers and bulldozers
need to resort to the tissue ballot,
their present modus operandi Of run
ming things their own way seems to
work very successfully.

that system Of bmetallism which was be-
queathod to us by our fathers.
This is an unusual admission for an
eastern paper to make. But the syrnp-
toms of change among even eastern
people in favor Of more liberal gov
eramental policy toward American sill
yer, consistent with financial safety, are
rapidly multiplying 1t Is far from cer-
tain that Senator Cameron will become
the beneficiary of this change in senti-
ment, at least in presidential sense.
Indeed. the chance for his nomination
on the Republican presidential ticket
next year at this time does not seem to
be better than one in hundred. But it
is already pretty nearly certain that the
man who shall be nominated on that
ticket will be friendly, rather than hos
tile to silver, and willing ut all times to
work in favor of its international re-
Mobilization.
And this is, after ALL the important
thing.

THE LESSON OF EXPERIENCE.

Senator Platt at Hartford.
Some people seem never to be contented
with anything. They take the blessings of
life as matter of course and want ten
fold more. II they are getting golden
egg every day, they want n basketful of
them. If they are doing well. they want
to do better. And so while under the sys-
tenn of protection we were doing our own
work, supplying our own wants, and on
joying the benefits Of progress, there wero
some people who thought we would make
greater progress and find more happiness
by allowing some one else TO do our work
ana supply our wants. There were pro-
fcssOrs and theorists and Mugwump politi-
clans who thought that we could get rich
very fast as II country and people by
hunting up foreigners in far-off lands to
work for. while foreigners were doing our
work. That the thing for American work
lngmen to do was to supply the wants of
somebody in Africa or South America or
some far-off country, while they were let
ting the foreigners supply their wants.
And these same theorists, professors,
Mugwumps and Cheap-John people con-
structed n rosy picture of how rich and
happy VIC would all get under their plan
We have tried 1t, but there ls nobody In
Africa or South America or the Isles of
the Sea, who wants any of the goods that
we can make Mt n profit, and so we have
simply surrendered portion Of our home
trade to foreign capitalists and workmen
without getting anything in return. II Is
not quite gracious when people are In
trouble to say 81 told you So" but the re-
suits of the change of policy are jiBt what
we predicted and what we believed every
thoughtful man ought to sec in advance.

POLITICAL POINTS.

The Chicago Records poll of the reg
istcrcd voters of Chicago stands 21S5 FOR
free and unlimited silver coinage to LII
against.
one Of the most favorable indications in
behalf of genuine bimetalllsm is the fact
that Colonel Alexander Mcclure Is be-
ginning to predict its early defeat.
The Pittsburg chamber of commerce has
adOpt6r u resolution extending II cordial
and earnest invitation to the Republican
national committee to select Pittsburg as
the meeting place for the next national
convention.
To the Philadelphia Inquirer the case
stands thus: Senator Quay may have MS
faults and he may have enemies, but one
thing is certain, between n man of brains,
whose education Is not of the ordinary
kind and whose grasp of national aifairs
is emarkable-between such II man and
mere hog contractor with all the grasping
and grabbing proclivitles of the animal, If
the people were to choose there could lie
no doubt where the choice would fall.
Besides, there is an ordinance against
hogs in this town, and we rather think the
days of hogs of all kinds are numbered
In an interview in the Washington Star
Chairman Carter, OF the Republican ma
tonal committee, says: 1t is Just as
we'll to have it, distinctly understood that
silver is to be remonetiZed, and so under
standing address ourselves to the task
of bringing about the desired result. We
would like to accommodate Mr.. Whitney
and his friends by waiting two or three
years, and it Is quite probable that under
the present administration we will be COM
PEELED to wait, but in the meantime the
opinion is constantly. gaining strength that
this government alone can determine its
own financial policy. our interstate com
merce is greater than the commerce of
all the seas, and the balances to be settled
abroad in gold constitute a very triflnS
and insignificant part of the payment we
make annually to our foreign creditors.
Our payments are made in wheat, cotton,
beef and other staple articles of every day
necessity that our neghborS cannot get
along without. Any course of action that
will stimulate home production and bring
about better times in this country Will
facilitate the payment of our debts abroad.

The Cameron Presidential Boom.

The Cleveland World, ex-Census SUI
perintendent Robert p. Porter's paper,
does not regard with ridicule the presi-
Dental prospects of Senator j. Donald
Cameron. 1t says:
In the strong personality of Senator J.
Donald Cameron we have n man who has
at the back of him the great producing in
terests Of Pennsylvania, and likewise the
enthusiastic support of the far western
states. Such n combination will be hard
to beat should the more radical silver
ideas predominant at the national conven-
ton. Protection and bimetalism," with
the emphasis on silver, perhaps describes
this boom. 1t is full of faith in the power
of the United States to settle the monetary
question without the concerted action of
other nations. Should the free silver idea
prevail the Cameron boom will assume
tremendous dimensions and possibly bring
about curious changes in political parties.

IJahituaIIy Wrong.

From the Salt Lake Tribune.
The legislature of Pennsylvania the
other day passed q bill making education
compulsory in the Keystone state. The
governor promptly signed the bill, where
upon the Record of Philadelphia cries out;
"God help the commonwealth when tho
governor refuses to stand between the peo-
ple and the wild and errant legislation OF
which this compulsory education act Is
specimen" We mentioned the other day
that the Record was one of the great
newspapers of the United States that was
absolutely wrong on every subject. ana inc
above Is a sample of IT. Every state ought
IN have n compulsory educational clause.
