We print from the Washington Post
this morning a most diverting account OF
the way in which Secretary Mort, gave
his free silver statistician a LESSEN in
free silver. We have no idea that IN
pointing out moral of this kind the
Washington Post would allow a good
story to suffer for lack OF some of the
latitude conceded as poetic license and
it's account of this proceeding may. there
fore. be touched with little OF what II
thought necessary for a good story. But
VIC have no doubt that its main features
are true. and that the Secretary
drew the statistlcian's salary in silver
dollars. that they weighed twelve pounds,
that the statistician had great difficulty
in getting any bank 10 take them from
rim, and that before he got them on his
hands. he wished free silver and all OF
its advocates were with the devil. or some
other congenial playmate.
The tale is well told. and is diverting
one, but we reprint II because II con-
tains a NEST valuable lesson. The tor
Inents that statistcisn endured are cx-
actly the torments that the whole pubic
would en0ure if 1t were forced 10 trans
act its business with silver dollars. THIS
gentleman's torments are what makes
every man take gold when he Is offered
his choice between gold and silver. That
being sc, how is IL reasonable 10 sup
pose that the public will ever use silver
as its medium Of exchange, when gold
ard transferable credits furnish II with
all the media of exchange that 1t wants,
or can make use of?
