THE SILVER QUESTION.
Continued from last week. /


AN Appendix to Mr.. Battells letter.
A very able article, entitled "Why the
South Wants Free Silver" by Senator
Morgan of Alabama in the last Arena"
published at Boston, thus aliudes to the
relative value of silver and gold;
The power of money is greater or less
according to the ability of wealthy men
and corporations to keep its control con-
centrated in their hands ; and the power
thus to focaize money depends in large
degree upon the denominations in which
it is coined or printed. 1t is easier TO
get together one thousand bills of ten
thousand dollars each than it is to as
semble one million dollars in bills of one
dollar each. Capital handles the larger
bills like "A concentrated army, while la
Dor uses small bills in widely scattered
hands. The same incidents attach to
gold and silver coins, and have given to
silver the designation of 1.-THE money of
the poor man." 1t is the money of every
man, and is indispensable to ALL and es-
pecially to the poor, because it pays for
the daily bread of hundreds of millions of
people.
In the form of fractional coins, every
man is the friend of silver money. The
enemies of silver money concentrate their
warfare upon the silver dollar alone.
There are but two reasons for this hos
tility: One is that the silver dollar, being
full legal tender, increases the volume
of "sOund money in a denomination
that is not easily capable of being con-
centrated in large sums; and the other
is, that silver money circulates without
creating, in its origin, any interest bur-
den upon the people, and suppants pa
per money which never leaves bank
without creating Il debt, by way of in
terest, that continues to grow so long as
it is in circulation. The miner who pro-
duces a silver dollar gets no interest on
it after he pays it out; but the banker
who prints and circulates a promise TO
pay dollar to the bearer always gets in
terest, and often usury, upon 1t so long
as it is kept in circulation. The banker
keeps his capital in hand. while he loans
its representative to the people. The
causes of this conflict between coin and
paper money are not to the advantage of
the people when they result in lessening
the supply of sound, constitutional
money in the hands of the people, and in
the increase of the facility for cOncen-
trating paper money in the vaults of the
banks.
The silver dollar Is a domestic coin
that stays in the neighborhoOd and does
its work among the laboring classes,
without going to the banks, either for

an easy creature TO control or limit
The rise of corporation, built on the
ruins of countless individual concerns,
and showing that it can reduce railway
corporations to an obedience which they
refuse to the State, is too suggestive of
an tmperium in inlperiO to be pleasant to
Democracy.
The States, to which the whole sub
iect legitimately belongs, confess their
inability to deal with 1t by leaving con-
gress to pass the Inter State Commerce
Act (lSSO, intended to stop the en-
coachments of railway corporations on
individual rights; out the success
OF even this measure is still quite doubt
full.
still more unhappy have been some of
the effects OF the new regime on the re-
lations between employers and employed.
The substitution Of a corporation for an
individual as an employer could not but
effect such relations unhappily, at least
for time; but the freedom and power
of the corporate employers strained the
relations farther than was at all neces-
sary.
The first clumsy attempts to control
the corporations, by limiting the per-
centage of their profits, led to the arti-
flee of watering" or unnecessarily IN
creasing their stock. In good years the
nominal dividends were thus kept down
to an apparently normal percentage.
When bad years or increasing competi-
ton. began to cut down the dividends,
the managers were often forced to attack
the wages or increase the duties of their
employees. The "bad years" began to
be more numerous and constant after
the financial crisis of 1873 had set in
and the first serious effects appeared in
the railroad strikes of 1871"

1.-The growing power of corpora
tons, and that at time when the
democracy had just shown its strength
most fOrcibly and to Its own satisfaction
the evident tendency of the corporations
especially in the protected industries and
transportation, to further combinations
such as pools and trusts; the con
sequent partial disappearance of that
competition which had seemed to be a
restriction on the corporations over the
individual; the power and disposition OF
corporations to cut wages down when.
ever dividends made it necessary to do
so; the half understood, but heartily
dreaded weapon, know as the black
list, by which combinations of employ
ers, especially of corporations, drove
employees inclined to agitation out of
employment; the general misgivings as
to the wisdom or honesty of the State
legislatures, in which the power over
corporations was vested; the unhappy
influences of the increase of urban pop
ulation over the Jury system; and the
complicated system of appeal which had
grown up in the American law. with
their opportunities for delay or perver-
sion of justice by wealthy and deter
mined corporations"
All of these conditions. thus wildly
pointed out. and well known by Ameri-
cans, call for wise and just manage
ment by the national government. And
the people must see that they have such
a government in control as will give it.
Exactly what is best to do in regard
to corporations. or especially IN regard to
railroads. is quite a difficult question.
When in the senate Mr.. Edmunds was on
the side of the people in insisting that
the Pacific railroads should pay the OBJ
legations due by them to the govern
ment. He also favored the government
ownership of telegraphs, perhaps also of
railroads; we do not remember. The
first is probably not desirable, as tele-
graphs are not a necessity to any one,
and are used very little by the great ma
ority of the people. But with railroads
the case is different. The railroads are a
part of the nations highways. Every
one uses them for travel or transporta-
ton. 1t is, therefore, very important
that they should be operated wholly in
the interest Of the people, instead of the
interest, or supposed interest, of the few
that manage or own them; and to accomp-
fish this government control of some kind
seems to be necessity. Government
ownership of certain lines may be desl-
rable, and, if so, no better beginning
could be made than for the government
to foreclose It's mortgages on the Union
and Central Pacific and run this great
central connecting line between the
eastern and western portions of our
country for the nations benefit.

Tourists, Gold In Italy.

At the British embassy to the king OF
Italy calculation was made some time
ego of the amount of gold brought by
travellers into Italy every year, By far
the largest number of these travellers
come from England and the United
States. The calculations made it evident
that no less than eco, 900, 900, or 500,
600, 600, are brought into this country
and left here by these travellers. In the
scantiest years that sum has not been
less than 4,000,0 while on other
occasions it has risen to e22 900, 900.
Mr.. Stamer, a writer ON Italy, relates
that an old woman in Sorrento once told
him that the people in England had no
sun, because the English had told her
time and again that it was not for So
ciety they had come to Italy, but to see
the sun. Besides all the English We're
fair and rudy. If they had had sun,
why were they not all sunburnt? If they
do get sunshine in Italy, as they do,
they pay very sweetly for it.-Rome

Food Tin Cans.

In recent government report by DIR.
Fl. w. Wiley it is stated that in Ger
many the law requires that the tins en-
ployed for holding canned goods shall
not contain more than per cent of lead,
while in this country there is no restric-
ton whatever in regard to the character
of the tin used, the result of this latter
fact being the employment of cans in
some cases containing as high as IL per
cent of lead. This practice prevails, not
withstanding the unanimity among
Psychologists as TO the effect of lead salts
upon the human system, the continual
ingestion of even minute quantities of
lead into the system being followed
eventually by the most serious conse-
quences--painter' collie, lead palsy and
other trying diseases well known to
physicians being the direct effects of
continual exposure of the system to any
such minute portions of lead salts. 1t is
said to be possible to exclude the latter
by requiring that the tin shall not con-
tain more than, say, 1 q per cent OF
lead also that the solder be as free
from lead as possible.
In Germany the solder made use OF In
sealing the cans is not allowed to con-
tain over 10 per cent of lead, while in
this country the analysis of numerous
samples of the solder applied shows that
it contains fully 90 per cent of lead, in
addition to this being the lack of care to
prevent such solder from coming into
contact with the contents Of the can,
and large surfaces Of solder ON the seams
are often found exposed to the action of
the acid contents of the can.

He Returned rne mp.

The Bristol (England) Mercury says
that while Paderewslzi, the pianist, was
in a nearby town recently he received a
courteously worded letter asking to al
low an invalid lady to call upon him
and hear him play one piece, promising
in return for ''this great treat" dou-
ceur of half guinea, which was tender
ed with much apology. The letter was
so worded as to be courteous and deli
cate appeal to the pianist's generosity.
The letter had the desired effect, and he
appointed time. Punctual to the mo-
ment, the lady appeared, and Paderew-
ski played her a few pieces. The lady
thanked him and slipped the promised
half guinea in the most gracious mode
of tip giving into his palm. "Ah what
is this?" blandly asked the pianist.

body 70 washington.
In The latter part Of the month OF
March. 1865, Washington saw many
signs Of collapse Of the rebellion. The
Confederate army appeared 70 be badly
demoralized, and Gcserters, who arrived
constantly IN large numbers, reported
that men from Alabama, Georgia, Flor
ida and the Carolinas could not be ex-
pected 10 have any heart in n fight
which then seemed only for the defense
of Virginia, while their own states We're
oyerrun by the armies Of the Union.
During the month of March more than
5000 deserters We're received ut Wash
ington, and great numbers were quar-
tered at Fort Monroe, Annapolis and
other points nearer the lines, where they
were put to work in the quartermaster
department or in the naval service
One curiosity of the times was Con-
federate regimental band which had de-
serted in body with its instruments
and was allowed to march through the
streets of the national capital playing
Union airs. This was one of the oldest
signs of the final break up. People re-
called story, told by Hooker, that
when the Union army scaled and occu-
pied Lookout Mountain rebel sentry
ON duty ON the crest of one Of the most
difficult precipices saw our men pile mp
in solid masses over sleeps which had
been thought inaccessible and was SO
surprised that he forgot TO run, bat
stood with feet rooted to the spot,
watching the Union force climbing up,
and streaming past him, and driving
the enemy far TO the rear, until he was
left alone, a statue of amazement Re
covering himself at last, he threw down
his musket, stripped off his rebel gray
jacket, stood on them both, and looking
far off to the sunny south stretched out
as a map below him, said, How are
you, Southern Confederacy?"
But notwithstanding such indications
of collapse of the rebellion at this very
time many northern Union newspapers,
led by Horace Greeley and others of his
stamp, were demanding that appeals
should DO made to the southern people
'to stop the flow of blood and the waste
of treasure" and that some message
should be sent to the southerners $50
terse that it will surely be circulated
and so lucid that it cannot be miscon-
strued or perverted, by way of an in
vitation TO cease fighting. Curiously
enough, the nearer the time came for a
final surrender the more fervid was the
demand for negotiation and appeal from
tho unreasonable radicals in the ranks
of northern Unionists. But all this was
soon to end, and while a small party
was asking, why not negotiate?' the
downfall came. Noah Brooks in Cen
