CURRENCY REFORM.

Director Preston, of the mint, says I:
"The result of the currency legislation of
the United States for over a hundred
years has been such as to leave an in
coherent monetary system, as inc n | T.
ent, Illogical and expensive as can wei he
imagined, that inspires lit c. nlidence
at home and is not conducive to our edit
abroad, and its reform is one Of the most
important and ureent Political and finan-
cial questions Of the hour"
Apprehension that pa ty feeling III e.
vent the executive and legislative part
ments of the government from consider
ing reform Of the monetary system does
not indicate a high confidence in the
or OF congress. or both combined. Upon
the currency question there is no excuse
for party rancor. The monetary system
in its present state is representative of no
party, satisfies no class. Upon only one
proposal are all parties and all classes
agreed-namely, that the system must be
reformed.
Nor is 1t surprising that such a need
should exist. One government after an
ether Of the stable institutions of the
world has been compelled TO recogniz- the
the fact that by virtue OF conn e. cial
usage gold alone posse ses an unlimited
tender quality. One gov,rninent aft.r
another has struggled with the impossible
problem Of making It's own word main
tain another metal at par with go.d, un-
til today there is not in the world any
government recognized among nat ons
as enduring and honest wh.c ch k cps up
this attempt At the close of hu ed
years 1t is not to our dlscredlt that a
complicated and self-contradictory body
OF laws should confront our stat smen
and confound the flnanciers.
The chief reason why Eng ard contin-
ues to be dictator of the word in financial
matters is not merely that she ceased in
1916 to try to make two yaIdst.ck5 OF
different length measure one va d; not
merely that for three hundred years she
has left the banking business to bankers,
and declined to trust 1t to her politicians;
but that, whenever the money question
has been before her people or her parlia-
ment, 1t has never been viewed as pait
question nor dragged down into the blum
dering animosltles Of perty prejudice, nor
subordinated to class interest

THE EVILS or WAR TALK.

The present outburst of war taNk Is not
unnatural. To some extent It is excusa-
BILE, II not commendabe 1t is a notice
to the world that the American people
are united and are ready to go to any ex-
trene TO vlndicate the traditional policy
of their government and in protecting the
vital interests OF their country against all
comers, however formidable. The sober
sense OF the American people, the same
sound sense that rallies them to the sup
port OF the president on the general issues
OF the dispute with Great Britain, viii
show them, however, that any prolonged
war excitement at this time would be
productive Of far more harm than good
War talk, in advance of actual danger OF
war, Is Improbable. II unsettles busl-
ness and depresses trade, 1t diverts
mems minds from useful channels and
units them for the best work of life,
Whatever preparations for any possible
war may now be necessary or desirable
may well be left to the public servants
who are charged with such matters.
National defense is good thing. our
coasts. as we have always argued, should
be well fortified. Our navy should he

sea against any hostile fleet These ar,
objects which the government may prop
erly seek to attain at the earliest prac-

viii not help the government nor expedite
the work one whit for the general public
to go battle mad and to neglect and in
jure business by discussing hare trained
schemes for the conquest of Canada and
the destruction OF British commerce.
War talk is also inexped,ent at this
juncture because It is sure to make the
settlement Of the case more flcult.
Grave as is the dispute between the
United States and England, 1t is one to
be settled peaceaby by diplomacy ana
jurisprudence. That is the conviction OF
every rational man on either side of the
sea. The duty Of diplomat is to make
the settlement of quane's easier. not
harder, and Il Is the duty Of citizens to
contribute their share of influence toward
that end. That is not the best type OF
loyalty or OF patriotism which would om-
barrass its ministers by talking Of war
when they are working for peace. II we
really want to uphold the rights ana
honor Of the United States. and 10 do so
BY peaceful means-and who is there who
does notg-we shalt do 50 far more effec-

Is preferable to the gangrened limb. Such
was the case in our own revo uton. The
fiery oratory of Adams and Henry set the
land aflame with martial ardor But
that was only after those same speakers
had made every possible plea for peace.
In every sentence Of their war speeches
they made It clear that every peaceful
sppeul for justice that could be made had
been made and had been rejected. and
there was absolutely nothing left but to
fight. It would be worse than folly It
would De sin, to pretend that we are in
such an extremity today. The resources
OF civllization"-an civilization means
peace-have not been exhausted When
they are, II they ever shall be, the United
States viii be ready as one man to take
up arms and fight to the bitter erd. But
that time is not yet come The two great
nations OF the world which are foremost
In the arts Of peace and culture and
which are OF all most closely related to
each other by ties of blood and mutual
interests and common aim, have not
fallen so low that there is no way OF
settling their dlsagreements but by a
reversion to savagery and barbar.sm.
