THE MICHIGAN IDEA.
A Composite Dollar OF Goid aud silver
Fused Ia One Coiu.

A Composite Dollar OF Goid aud silver
Fused In Ono Coiu.
DirOi. Tribune.
More than nineteen month, ago the
Detroi. Tribune suggested two plans for
n scientific solution Of the problem.
The one most easily carried into effect
and with the least disturbance to the
business OF the country was tina. Of tho
composite dollar.
1t was proposed that all existing coin.
age laws should DO repealed and in
place thereof there should be enacted Il
law creating a new American dollar,
which should DO tho sole standard coin
OF tho nation, the dollar to be composed
oil 206i grains OF standard gold fused to-
gether and struck into q handsome coin
about the size OF the present haIt.dollar.
As tho practical difficulties surround
Ing bime.allism have become more
deeply impressed on the public mind,
tho plan suggested has received kindly
attention in many quarters.
1t would certainly be 4 Just compro.
mise between the two single standards.
The coin would be OF n convenient
size. For use in large transactions tho
treasury department might issue cer-
tlhcates based on the actual deposit OF
tho proper proportions OF gold and
silver bullion or oil coined dollars. y
h coin could not be OF absolutely
stable value for in case OF disparity at
any time in the commercial values OF
eoid and silver what was lost by the de-
probation OF one metal entering into
tho composition would be made up by
tho exactly corresponding appreciation
Of the other.
1t Is not an unnatural combination,
Tor itis well known that almost all silver
mined contains in its natural state a
greater or less percentage OF gold.

Practical temperance Work.

S''paia'Nt Nbrk.
There Was n great temperance meet.
lug In Pittsburch IN Sunday night
Protestant ministers Of various demoni.
nations aud Roman Catholics p~rloats.
Including a bishop, spoke from the
sane platform, alwaya a pleasing sight.
Bishop Phelan Expressed the sound
opinion that II treating were stopped
there would DO much less lntem per.
ance.
1t Is true beyond question that many
Imam drinks to excess because OF tho
treating habit. lilo does not care 90
much for the drink, he doc, not enjoy
tho object, he Is not in love with waking
up the next morning TO find that he has
a head rs big as n -four barrel.
He likes companionship, Ikea to be
sociable, likes to ''aet EN- up" and to
join others whose idea Of good follow
ship run|on that line. In the begin.
ming he would as soon think OF jumping
in the river as OF going OF by himself
to get drunk. That comes later when
drink has got a firm grip on him and
manhood has beou swept away.
Everybody knows that tho man who
takes no alcoholic stimulant whatever
is safe, but il one Will drink some, lot
him buy his " drink aud let his
friends and barroom acquaintances buy
theirs. This is the next best way.
Bishop Phelan, in his address on
Sunday night, recognizing that any ap.
proach to a temperate lilo Is a gain, said
tina. if a man will not pledge himself
to abstain to,ally,ry to get him to pledge
himself to take only five drinks a day or
only one drink.
His idea was to got as near rs pos.
sible to theideal but to accept something
as being better than nothing. This is
4 common sense way to go about it.

It is favorise argument OF the free
coinage men thar '.the crime OF 1878"
by which silver was ~demonetized. i,
responsible for the fall in the price OF
silver and OF farm products rs well.
They take into no account tho increased
production Of silver and it's relation to
gold then and now; they are not i'm
pressed by the action of other countries
in respec, OF silver; and they overlook
some essential tning- with regard to
the range OF prices oi farm products.
Silver is to-day lower BY a cent an
ounce than its average price IN the ifs
cal year 1884,. yet there has been n gen.
eral rise in tho prices Of farm products.
Wool lie a notable exception to the rule,
having reached in this country the low.
est price on record; but this is because
wool has been stripped OF all tariff pro-
lection and mnst take its chance
against tho w0olot tho world. While
silver ha. been falling there has boon 4
rise in tho price OF whcat. corn, oats.
hay, pork, lard, beef. cotton and pctro-
leum.
Anyone who will .ako the trouble to
compare prices OF farm products with,
tho price OF ailver sinco 1873 or any
later porioi will fail to find any rcla.
tiop between them. fic will find silver
falling, tue general range Of farm pro-
ducts going up aud going down, certain
farm products breaking away and going
up while others remain stationary or 20
down, End vice versa.
Tho record OF tho past aud tho OK
pcrieuce o: the present show that silver
and farm pro.!ucLs do not move up or
down together any moro than all farm
products are moved by n common i'm.
pulse In n Certain direction.
Tho conclusion is irrc5iqtible that in
the mar.ct for farm products silver y
not tho motive power. 1t would bU as
reasonable TO say that tho low price OF
silver pu, up recently tho price OF coke
and iron ore aud petroleum as to say
tina. Il is responsible Tor wheat selling
at le,s than n follar u bu4hol or nt any
other unsatisfactory price.

TnElaw may say that sixteen ounces
OF silver are equal to ono ounce OF gold.
but tho law cannot mako this SO while
in tho market places i, takes ,hirty.two
ounces Of silver TO buy one ounce OF
gold. The law might declare two feet
TO be n yard, but buyers would not give
80 much for that yard by Il third as
they would for the yard Of three feet.
A two.foot yard might 80, but it would
90 ne two feet, not rs three.

a Job For sscrntnrr Gresham.

Secretary Gresham for president Of
the Pullman Palace Car Company? This
strikes us with favor. It would open
the way for President Cleveland to select
for secretary of state a person having
somo qualifications Tor tho place. one
who would view a foreign question
once in n while from tho point OF view
OF the interests and the dignity OF his
own country. This would be some.
thing to which we have not been accus.
toned since Mr.. Gresham became secre.
tsry OF state.
Whether Mr.. Gresham would DO an
efficient and acceptable head OF the
Pullman company is not the question.
Nor is it material. Tho company is zig

Preachers Don't Like Fishback's
Views.

LITTLE Rock, Jan, 8, Several
days ago a New York paper wired
Gov Fishback upon the reform
question, as to whether or not hous-
es of prostitution should be tolerat-
ed or suppressed The governor
replied by saying such houses we're
as essential in cities as were the
sewers that carried off the filth. He
compared the women of such houses
with the refuse matter that flied
the pipes of the sewers. The City
Pastors Association Of Little Rock
held meeting today and passed
lengthy resolutions, setting forth
that the governors objection did
not conform to the sentiment ex-
pressed by the good citizens Of the
community The association recog.
nized the right of free individual
expression, but did not believe that
Gov Fishback had the right to
speak as chief executive of the peo-
pie of the State on this question.
The association cites the statues,

APPROVED BY THE CAUCUS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. by a vote
of 81 to So the Democratic House
caucus voted today to indorse the
Carlisle substitute currency bill now
before the House,
Speaker Crisp took the lead in
presenting the resolution and in Wig
orously urging the necessity of its
adoption, The committee on rules
was instructed to bring in rule to
close the debate.
Efforts to amend Mr., Crisp's reso-
lutions were voted down, one OF the
adverse votes showing only thirteen
members of the caucus favorable to
an issue of bonds to retire the green
backs.
The result of the caucus is accep-
ted with considerable apprehension
by friends of the bill, notwithstand-
ing the passage of the resolution
Of endorsement. The 81 votes
which the measure commanded in
the caucus is far short of the num-
Der necessary to pass it in the House
but it is believed, however, that
many of the SO votes against the
measure will be changed, But
there were several leaders who as
sert at the close of the caucus that
the vote showed conclusively that
the bill could not pass,
Immediately after the caucus it
was given out that all was not yet
lost and that even If the Carlisle
bill or a substitute, which is about
the same thing, went by the board
here there would be introduced a
bill which would substantially con
tain the provisions Of the comptrol'
Ter offered at the time the Sherman
law was repealed and which would
satisfy anyhow the large part OF
the silver men, This proposed
measure Is to provide for the issu-
ance of bonds to the amount OF
$500, 900 bearing ~ or 3 per cent
interest, due in thirty years, but
subject to redemption at the end
of twenty years at the option OF
the government, These bonds are
to be the basis of bank circulation
which shall be as great as the face
of the banks capital, The tax on
this circulation Is to be reduced
from per cent to ! of ! per cent.
National banks can organize on
twenty hve thousand of these bonds
thusscattering small banks through
out the whole country, The notes
Of these banks shall not be less than
$40 and all under that denomination
to be silver certificates redeemable
in silver dollars only; the treasury
silver shall be coined into silver dol
lars at the rate of not more than
$50, 900, 600 a year and the seignior'
age Is to be coined to pay current
pX penHeA.
