the gold reserve of the treasury.
The plain truth is, this incompetent
administration insisted upon con-
verting those silver obligations into
gold obligations, without any COM
mand OF law, or any reason in the
nature Of things compelling such a
course. And now this same incom-
petent administration comes to Con-
gress, and asks it to ratify Its stupid
if not Standardization, by issuing
gold erest-bearing bonds to cover
and redeem these coin obligations.
But the feature Of this bond prop
osition, which We have just men
toned, is not more criminal than the
feature to be mentioned now.
The issuing Of bonds recommended
by the President is for the final re-
demption and cancellation OF these
outstanding treasury obligations
| obligations which are now in, and
are part Of, the circulation Of the
country. The proposition Of Mr..
Cleveland is, therefore, simply TO
contract the currency by the with
drawal Of some 500, 100000 from
the circulation. 1t is true, that the
President wants the banks to be al
lowed &c increase their circulation
up to the face value Of the bonds on
deposit to secure it-that is, the
Presidents proposition contemplates
an increase Of the bank circulation
which will be exactly ten per cent
of their bonds in the Treasury. This
is his proposition, stripped of all the
pompous verbiage, for which the
President is so celebrated.
But it may be argued that the new
bonds would 90 into the Treasury ant
circulation to the extent o. theil
face value would be given to thu
! banks, and go into the hands of thu
3 people. Those who argue in Thu
3 way are either ignorant or dishonest
&, Millions of the new bonds would seel
g foreign investments; and there is no
a shadow of provision in existing law
or in any pending proposition, t.
a compel those bonds to go under an.
! circulation whatever. Let no one b.
5 deceived. Mr.. Cleveland simply pro
D poses to secure to the money holder
a a further appreciation of their hold
: ings, by taking $5OO,OOO,OOO out o
{ the circulation of the country.
= The message is an adroit attemp
q to secure legislation, under the pie
@ of an immediate necessity, that Wi
i certainly fix the whole vicious ma
J. tional banking system more firml
), upon the people, than it is now. TIL
g Congress cannot adopt, with safety

v ers than they now hold.

What Bimetallism and the
Ratio of 10 to I Means.

In a recent silver speech az Kan.
sas City, Kansas, the Hon. W. J.
Bryan. Of Nebraska, said:
u ask your attention to a discussion
of three questions: First, what is b.
metallism ? second, why do we desire 1t
and-third. how a we secure it? The
name bimetallism indicates the mean
ing of the word so clearly that mis-.
understanding seems almost impos-
sible. and yet we know that many have,
or at seem to have, a wrong idea of
what bimetallism is. One man said he
was IN favor of bimetaIlism. That is.
that he thought the government ought
to buy whatever metal it needed. The
postmaster at Chicago, in a letter re-
Gently published in a Chicago pa
per, said: L am not a monometallist
L believe in binetaliism on a gold
basis One of the leading speakers at
the bankers congress. in session at At
lanta the present week, made use of a
similar expression. Bimetallism means
two bimetalllsm, the use of gold and
silver as standard money, with equal
privileges at the mint and equal legal
tender qualities. Under b%imetallism a
silver dollar is not redeemable in gold,
nor a gold dollar redeemable in silver.
BimetallIsm does not mean that the
silver dollar shall rest upon the gold,
but that silver shall stand by the side
Of gold, and with gold support the COM
merce of the world. We do not want
silver as a credit money, a mere pro-
mise to pay some other kind of money;
we want it as real money, with which
to discharge contracts payable in mon
ey. Even the ratio of l6 to l is not al
ways understood. One person under
stood by it that the government would
coin sixteen silver dollars to every one
gold dollar coined. Sixteen to one
simply means that the silver dollar
weighs sixteen times as much as the
gold dollar. That is, in debt paying
power, one ounce of gold is equal to
sixteen ounces of silver. Free coin
age does not mean, as one gentleman
imagined, that every one shall be per-
mitted to own a mint and coin his
own money, but that the holder of sill
yer bullion shall be permitted to pre-
sent his silver to the mint and have 1t
converted into dollars without charge.
just as the holders of gold bullion is
permitted to do now. Unlimited coin
age means that there shall be no legal
restriction as to the amount of silver
to be coined, just as there is no legal
restriction as to the amount of gold
bullion to be coined. The free coinage
of the American product is not a sufi.
Gent remedy; it might be of advantage
to the mine owner, but the question is
larger than the mining states"

M'KENZIE SOCIETY.
A Successful Testimonial Concert in
Given at Metropolitan
Temple.

The friends of Professor Mckenzie mus
tered in force at the testimonial concert
rendered to him last night at Metropolitan
Temple, by the Mckenzie Musical Society.
There was considerable enthusiasm all
through the entertainment, which reached
it's climax when Charles F. Lelong pre-
scented the professor with handsome gold
medal in the name of the society.
A programme had been arranged that
was interesting but has the fault of being
somewhat long, particularly as nearly
everything was encored. The chorus,
which consisted of over hundred mem
bers, had the usual shortening of being
too strong in trebles otherwise it per-
formed number of selections very salts
factorily.
These included the quintet and chorus
from Martha" the grand finale and
chorus from Verdis "Attila," the SIN
fammatus" from Rossini's "Stabat Ma

ter" and other operate selections as well
as an arrangement of ''Asthore" for barry
tone solo and chorus. Professor Mckenzie
directed the chorus, and Roscoe Warren
Lucy rendered very able assistance as
accompanist.
A number of solos, trios, etc., were per-
formed. Walter J. Talbot sang the tenor
solo "M'Appari," from Martha" in ex-
cellent style, which showed him not only
to be possessed of good tenor voice, but
what is still more rare ability to use it.
In fact the other evidences OF his sing
ing made one forgive the fact that he was
a shade off the key now and then. Among
the other soloists, quintetists, ETC., were:
Mrs. ]. G. Laws, Mrs. j. Igo, Mr.. E. Luhr-
man, Mr.. Alfred Gehret, Miss Minnie
Powell, Miss Flora Whitney Evans,
G. F. Lelong, J.. P. Grodiens, Miss Marie
Coe Smith, John W. Mckenzie, Mrs. G.
Muhlner, Thomas Nowlan, Benjamin L.
Tarbox, Richard l. Whelan. There was
also string quartet, consisting of Dr. W.
Barmore, DR.. P. Erhardt, a. Reichers and
f. G. Hartwig.
Another performer, and by no means the
least one, was Herr Franz He'll, the
popular fiuegelhorn player.

MECHANICS INSTITUTE.
W. II. Smyth Chosen to Canvas for the
Next Fair.

W. III. Smyth Chosen to Canvas for the
Next Fair.
The trustees of the Mechanics Institute
held a long meeting last evening, the
principal business being the selection Of a
canvasser to solicit merchants and bust
ness men to make exhibits at the next in
dustrial fair. 1t was decided to select a
canvasser and choose a superintendent of
the fair at later.date.
John Woodlock, ]. P. Dockey, ]. H.
Gilmore w. III. Smyth, J. K. Firth and
w. H. Murray were the candidates. After
casting eleven ballots Mr.. Smyth was Sc
lected His salary is set at $500. Mr..
Smyth is well known to the business men
of the city and State.
Since the fair of 1879 he has been more
or less connected with the institute fairs,
either as a Juror or an exhibitor. He was
the manager of three flower shows held by
the California State Floral Society In the
Pavilion in 1892 and 1898.
When Horace Wilson was removed from
the position of librarian of the library, the
assistant, A. M. Jelhson, was promoted to
the vacancy. Since then the latter posi-
ton has not been filled. Last evening +.
B. Graves was promoted to fill the vacancy
at $50 per month.
The committee on employees recon-
mended that the request of George n.
Brewer for an increase in his salary from
$50 to $75 a month be refused. Herbert
Sturges will be employed in the library
for three months at $25 month. The
salary of W. R. Williams was increased
from S45 to $50 month.
