EDWARD ATKINSON has new plan for
increasing the currency and at the same
time multiplying the 10 per cent tax on
state banks. His plan is for the banks to
issue certificates of deposit which would
pass current az did the clearance house
certificates of the New York banks dur
ing the panic of 1898. The chief diff
Guilty with Mr. Atkinson's scheme is that
unless it was made certain that the
money which the certificates re presented
was in the bank, they would not circu-
late and if the amount represented by
them were in the bank there would be
no increase of the currency, in fact no
necessity for the certificates. The only
way such a plan could be made available
would be to issue certificates on deposits
of land, warehouse receipts and similar
collateral and this the banks would not
care to do unless there was something in
it for them. In fact it would be a detri =
ment since it would prevent them from
loaning their own money at a good rate
of interest Dir. Atkinson's suggestion
will probably be taken for what it is
worth and considered only as one more
effort in the line of distracting the atten-
ton of the people and if possible pre-
venting the application of the real
remedy for present conditions which is
the opening of the minis to the free and
unrestricted coinage of silver.

A GOLD bug paper credits James G.
Blaine with having said that you can't
make gold dollar worth less than it is,
nor paper dollar worth more than it is
by congressional action. What, then, do
these admirers of Mr- Blaine mean by
talking of fifty cent silver dollar? Does
not the same rule apply to silver? If
the silver dollar is worth but fifty cents,
as they claim. it has certainly been made
so by congressional action. Nobody ever
questioned its value until congress be-
gan legisIating against it. In fact the
silver dollar was worth 1O3 cents up to
the time it was demoneEized by act of
congress

SECRETARY CARLISLE has decline to
participate in discussion of the silver
question on the plea of lack of time. He
says much research and preparation is
necessary. So those speeches he made
down in Kentucky were just of hand
remarks made without preparation and
he doesn't know whether they were
right or not. But the farmers and me-
chanics of the country know what he
said to be worthless and misleading.
They have had time to study the ques i
ton. If Mr.. Carlisle knew what he was
talking about when he made those
speeches and was telling the truth no
further preparation would be necessary
in order to enter into discussion of the
question.

Since the United States stopped buy

in uncoined silver has sprung up be-

More costly machinery is used in the
silver mines and reducing works of the
United States than anywhere else, for,
even when costly, machines are cheaper
than men and mules wherever Uncle
Sam rules. In the Spanish American
countries, where wages and the cost of
living are much lower. much cruder
methods of mining silver are employed
In place of the intricate stamp mills,
for instance, the ore is broken up by
primitive crushers consisting of great
round dressed stones rolled over the
broken rock by mules which travel in a
circle, and, in place Of the rapidly NOV

silver. ores are difficult to reduce, and
that is ole reason why silver was the
last of the three money metals to be
used for coinage purposes. Originally
silver was as widespread as gold, &C.
curing in nearly all volcanic'rock and
in some of the primary ones. But gold
remains unaltered by the elements, and
no matter how far it may be carried
from the place of original deposit, by
reason of the breaking down of the
rocks containing it, may be procured by
comparatively simple means-such as
the washing" Of dirt or gravel where
it has been carried by water after the
disintegration of the matrix rocks or
the crushing by mechanical appliances
of the rocks themselves where they per-
sist in spite of natures attempts to
break them down. Silver, on the other
hand, is only to be found in the rocks of
original deposit. When these are broken
down, the silver either enters new min
eral combinations Grand this is far
more common-disappear entirely. Sill
yer, then, can be mined only by appli-
ances requiring capital for their crea-
ton, while gold may often be procured
with the aid of nothing more expensive
than a shovel and pan
Although silver is found in paying
quantities in but paratively few
places, it is present in varying quantities
everywhere, including the ocean. ReIa-
lively the quantity thus held in solu-
ton is small, but whosoever should
come into possession of such a mass of
silver as exists in the world s seas. no
matter how low the current price,
would be quite justified in leaving all
work for others to do. since according
to the wise men this silver amounts
to some 10000, 900. 900 tons or 20,
900, 900, 900, 600 pounds At 81 an ounce
the 6 to l value-this amount of sill
yer would be worth 1920. 900, 900, OOO,-
900. At so cents an ounce it would be
worth $3.50, 900, 600, 900, 900 = quite
enough to keep the wolf from the door
during one short human lifetime. This
vast sum is many times greater than
the total amount of silver coins in the
world.
The annual production of silver. I'M
til the slump caused by the repeal of
the Sherman law, was nearly $50, O0O,-
900 ounces, of which the United States
produced 81, 900, 900 ounces, or more
than One-third, and of the total produc-
ton, according to one unimpeachable
authority, about two-thirds are used in
the arts, lost or shipped to Asia. How
ever, as another authority, equally I'M
impeachable, states that in 1899 only
5000, 600 ounces out of total of $780,,
100000 ounces produced were used in
the arts, it will be impossible here to
make any definite statement upon this
point 1t is stated, however, and may
be safely accepted perhaps, since I can
nowhere find it contradicted, that one
fourth of all the silver used in this way
is made up into spoons and forks. An
other quarter is used by silversmiths for
other manufacturing purposes, another
quarter is absorbed in the making Of
