A COMPOSITE DOLLAR.
A Detroit Papers Plan for the SOlu
tiOn OF the Coinage Question.

ttOn OF the Coinage Question.
The Detroit Tribune (Rep.) pub
fishes an editorial leader which de-
clares in favor of the solution OF the
present money question by the issu-
ance of new dollar, to be composed
of proportional parts of gold and sill
yer. The article quotes the national
platforms OF 1883 and 1892 in favor OF
bimetallism, and points out the
dangers of practical silver monomet-
allism through the throwing open of
the mlnts to the unlimited coinage.
1t calls attention TO the difficulties
and delays which would attend the ne
gotiations of an international compact
and questions the successful mainten-
tenance of a parity between gold and
silver by that means in any event. 1t
calls upon the party to fulfill its plat
form pledges by formulating, without
delay, practicable scheme for bimel-
allism, and especially in view Of the
threatened disintegration Of parties
and the drawing of new party lines,
with gold monometallism on one side
and silver monometallism on the
other. Continuing. the Tribune advo-
Gates the composite dollar as a
measure easiest to effect and with the
least disturbance to business of any
plan suggested. 1t proposes:
"That all existing coinage laws be
repealed and that there be enacted 9
law creating = new American dollar,
which should become the standard
coin of the nation; this dollar to be
composed of 206 IA grains of standard
silver and II $40 grains Of standard
gold, fused together and struck into q
handsome coin about the size of the
present half-dollar. The coin would
be of absolutely stable value, for in
oaeo of disparity at any time in the
commercial value OF silver, what was
lost by the depreciation of vne metal
would be made up by the ex.ctly
corresponding appreciation of tn.
other"
As to the question whether the pro-
posed dollar would be suitable for ex-
port, the Tribune replies:
at would not be necessary to ex.
port the coin while uncoined gold
could be secured, which would be just
as available. If at any time it became
necessary to separate the gold from
the silver, it could be done at the
United States mint at a cost OF less
than l per cent. This very cost
would be precaution against the ex
port of coin while uncoined bullion
Was attainable."

nothing against the successful COM
panv, but simply believe that Mr.
Trowbridge should be rewarded for hi,
fair and honest fight. They say that
the bank of North America would
have secured its chief benefit from the
extra deposits received had it been
made fiscal agent. The trust COM
pany cannot of itself receive this
benefit, as trust companies in New
York are not allowed to receive de-
posits. 1t will be the part of the fiscal
agent to transact business for ever

E. N. Gibbs. Treasurer of the New
York Life Insurance Company and a
Director of the Security and Trust
Company, cabled Gov. McGraw from
Spain just before the appointment
that he (Mr. Gibbs) had had the
promise of the appointment by him
two years ago, and he expected the
promise would now be kept.
N. w. Harris & Co. had bill intro
duced in the Legislature two years ago
providing for a fiscal agent in New
York, but it was finally killed.
A Spokane Senator endeavored to
get the Fiscal Agency bill amended so
as to provide that the company ap-
pointed must have capital of at least
81 100000. This would have excluded
the Bank OF North America. During
the last hours Of the session, Mr..
Trowbridge's friends quietly blocked
this scheme by having the bill amend
ed to read that the "capital and
surplus" must be 81 100000.
After reading the article of four
weeks ago in The New York Times.
the President of the Bank OF North
America wrote Cashier Trowbridge, at
Tacoma, congratulating him upon his
success with the Legislature and
adding that Mr.. Platt would need his
service ON his return to New York in
the fight against Mayor Strong.

THE STATE PRESS ASSOCIATION.
Address by Executive Committee An =
nouncing the Convention.

-
neuncing the Convention.
The following address has been is
sued by the Washington State Press
Association:
"To the Press of the State Of WASH
ington: At a meeting of the execu-
tive committee OF the Washington
Press Association, held at Seattle on
the 11th day of April, 1895, it was de-
cided to hold the next annual meeting
of that organization at Everett, on the
9th, 7th and Sth days OF next August.
at is particularly desirable at this
time, when business of all kinds is
dull and it becomes necessary for
craftsmen to unite their endeavors for
the common welfare, that q full at
tendance should be had, and that
every effort be made to secure the
membership of those who have not yet
joined the association. The want of a
thorough organization WAS manifested
in the fate of the several measures
submitted by authority of the associa
tion to the late Legislature. While
many of our lawmakers expressed
themselves in accord with the several
propositions, they found very few ex-
pressions on the part of the press of
the State which indicated that they
were really desired, or were more than
the wish of self-empowered commit
tee representing but a small portion OF
the newspaper men of the State. 1t
was not surprising, under this cCndi-
ton, that nothing was accomplished.
"What the Washington Press Asso-
citation wants to accomplish at its
next meeting, is to determine just
what is needed in the shape OF legisla.
tion, or rather to give the present ex-
cellent suggestions the force which
numbers afford, and to unite upon the
business propositions, which will en-
able newspapers to be published at
profit. 1t is quite evident that many
publishers have made but little effort
to secure compensation for services
that is proportionate to their value;
especially in fixing the rates Of legal
and foreign advertising; and an in
terchange OF opinions, if nothing
more, may be productive of some BEN
eft.
at is hoped that every newspaper
in the State OF Washington will be
represented at Everett this year. The
citizens of that wonderfully enterpris-
ing city extend royal welcome. Let
us make the occasion one long to be
remembered by them and ourselves.
Fraternally yours,
JOHN MILLER MURPHY,
President.

Of his belief in advertising. One day
he engaged whole page OF newspa-

ment upon it over and over again. 1t

upon the page in the smallest type.
"Why do you waste your money,
Robert?" asked a friend. "I noticed
that same line so often. Would not
half a page have answered your pur-
poser
"Half a page would never have
caused you to ask the question:" re-
piled Mr.. Bonner. at least five
people will ask that to every line, was
the way l figured it,"
