EDITORIAL NOTES.

Chauncey Depew said on his return
from flying trip West that the silver
madness was ALREADY waning. The
fact that the Democrats of Cook
county. ILL.,, declared for the silver
madness by 7O7 to % possibly seemed
as the basis of Mr. Depew's opinion
The New Yorker had been informed
that the people out West were uneni-
nous for silver
It is we'll TO remember that the sill
yer dollar, absolutely and unquali-
fiedly. was the sole and single unit of
our monetary system for 81 years.
The gold dollar was changed: the
amount of alloy in the silver dollar
was modified, but the amount of pure
silver in the dollar remained the
same.
The talk about this country being
flooded with foreign silver is merest
nonsence. All the silver in the world

legal. and think the Lichtensteins have acted
within the law. I am assured that every dollar

matter differently. | do not mean to lmpugn

them then that anything out OF the way had been

entirely legal, even IL IL was not altogether
equitable. II the regular form OF making an as-
signment with preferences had been gone
through with, the result would have been eS-
Rctly the snine. except that the stock would
have been sold at . sacrifice instead Of at fair
