Gold, Silver and Paper in Circulation.
From the New York Financier
France is referred to constantly by
the advocates of free silver as u
try prosperous and happy, chiefly be-
cause it has not fallen a prey TO the
so called evil of characterization" of
silver, and maintains its coinage ON n
parity that this country is urged to
adopt. In ease the proposal for a new
monetary conference is adopted by
other nations, the chief countries rep
resented will probably be, the United
States, England, Germany and France.
The following table shows the per
capita circulation of gold, silver and
uncovered paper, according to the last
report of the Director of the Mint:

The United States, as a comparison
will show, has a larger proportion of
silver in circulation than has France,
and her volume OF paper money is
much greater. In other words, were
the United States to recognize the
present money basis to conform to the
French percentages, without increas-
ing the per capita circulation, our gold
money would be increased, silver
would be decreased, and paper money
would be cut down three-fourths. In
totals, the circulation OF the countries

He goes all the saddle and harness gaits very

die and harness stallion over thirteen entries,
beating Indian Boy, who was never before de

Where the United States would get
between three and four hundred mil
lion dollars in gold to increase its eur
rency and what it would do with the
silver it would be forced to discard,
others can determine. The paper
money which would be retired would
wipe cut every greenback in the
United States the one commendable
feature of the whole plan. The aver
age amount of gold in circulation in
the four countries is $50 per cent. OF
silver 2".2 per cent. and of paper IA.
The Urited States has therefore less
gold AMI more silver and paper than
the other countries mentioned, and its
currency, adopting the arguments OF
the free silver theorists, conforms
more nearly to the ideal. If an effort
were made to place Il currency on
the French basis, calling such attempt
~ any other name, every free silver
paper III the country would at once
raise the cry of gold monometallism.

He Hadn't Thought of That.

A collector of unpaid bills has hard
time of it, but one met philosophical
debtor recently who convinced him of
some astounding facts. The collector
says that he had been chasing up the
said philosophical debtor for about six
months and was getting tired of the
job. 1t was always "come around to-
morrow or haven't got it now
"Say," he said when he made his last
trip. "are you ever going to pay this
bill?"
''Why, yes, some day." the philos-
opher replied. But, look here, young
man, want to show you a thing Or
two. How many bills have you got in
that pack?''
about forty" said the collector.
"How long does it take you to visit
all these people?" the philosopher in
quired.
about day"
what if all paid up promptly?''
"Why, that would be great
''Would it? What would you do for
a living if all these debtors paid up
in one day."
The collector looked blank for mo-
1nent.
Great Jerusalem! I'd be out of
job
well, then, don't be SO anxious to
collect every cent due your people.
One bill day is enough. AS for me,
come around some time next week, and
/ may do something for YOU" and the
philosopher faded away. - Syracuse

Western America.

Relentless Pursuit OF Bad Men IN Far
Western America.
The yigilants have a thorough sys-
tenn Of their own of private inquiry ana
espionage as well, says Chambers
Journal. Many a thief has mentally
wondered, with much unnecessary pro-
family, how it was known that he had
appropriated some neighbours calf, colt
or horse. Each district has its own
committee. This committee does not
work outside it's district save in spe-
cial cases. Committees assist each other
when required to do so. In heavy cases
committees will join each together. In
such an event from 500 to 1000 men
can be conferred at any given spot on
very short notice. When action is need
ed every member must attend the rem
devious, absolute incapacity from i'll
ness being the only excuse admitted.
The members are bound to secrecy ana
to help and assist each other IN all
cases Of emergency-to an extreme Inn
it. The obligation is stringent one.
No one is admitted as member unless
he is we'll reported Oh by the other
members. An executive committee is
formed of picked men only, who do all
the preliminary work, do it sklllfully
and thoroughly, and do not state the
result Of their labors until on the eve
Of carrying out their plans.
AS an illustration of how thorough
the vigilantes are in their methods
may give the following: Two road
agents. in Montana had killed without
any provocation two passengers on a
stage coach in open daylight. Inc
agents, we'll mounted, started at once
to leave the country. Three vigilantes
followed them. Day after day the Wig
ilantes followed the trail, but failed to
overtake the road agents, who, well
knowing the character of the sleuth
hounds on their track, were forcing
their tired horses toward the South.
The latter at last gave out; the agents
stole two fresh ones from a stable and
renewed their flight through Idaho,
down into Utah, and across to Nevada
the hunters behind them tracking
day by day and hour by hour. At last
the vigilantes overlook their men, and
two ringing shots from Winchester
rifles ended that chapter. local paper
afterWard stated that "The bodies Of
two men, each shot through the heart,
were found yesterday on the roadside.
They had a considerable sum Of gold
on their persons but no papers to iden-
tify them by. 1t is supposed that this
was vigilante work, as robbery evident
ly was not an object-their pockets hav-
ing been undiSturbed."
