1t is figure Of speech resting on no
foundation in fact TO say that our change
of coinage laws in relation to silver is
responsible for the business distresses We
have suffered since 1873. 1t is a fact that
we have advanced in prosperity more rapid
ly since 1873 than ever before. Between
1870 and 1890 the aggregate values of the
property i'm the United States increased
from $2i, 900 0C0 to $50 900. COO.000 more
than $50 per cent. During that period
have built over 100000 miles of railway.
Our lands increased In value one hundred
fold and the value of the houses in which
We live from 50, 000, 900 to 81 900 900, COD
and these dollars are measured in gold and
not in deprecated silver.
Thus spoke Senator Lindsay, of Ken
lucky, the other evening in his speech
against free silver. In substance, every
other free-trade orator who is now de-
claring for sound money bears the same
testimony to the wonderful material
progress made by the United States dur
ing the years that the Republican pol
icy of protection had full sway. True,
they are the statistics of the census, but
the using them as a part of an argu-
ment for sound money can but be re-
garded as a tacit admission of the
beneficence of the Republican policy.
And it is yet the leading issue.

THE NEW LIQUOR LAW.


To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
There is every indication that spirited
contest will be waged in this State when
the new liquor law goes into effect The
LIQUOR men are forcing the fight. and the
issue will be whether the supremacy Of the
law is to be maintained in Indiana not.
Already the papers have announced that
the LIQUOR League has 900 with which
to begin the fight, and prominent men,
Der is credited with saying that 100000 will
be forthcoming If necessary. This sounds
all very well, but let look at the condi-
tions. new law on the subject was passed
by the last General Assembly. an act
which that body plainly had the right TO
perform. The old law found TO be
utterly inadequate to restrain the business
within proper bounds. and as a result there
were in many places frequent and open
violations of the law of the State. The
only logical course was to do one of two
things: Either repeal the old law. which
was practically dead letter, or else enact
a new one that could be enforced.

more powerful, the Indiana Liquor League

have been made the LIQUOR interests intend
to resist the law. as has been expected.
But what can be their method of pro-
cedure? Three channels of resistance are
open.
First--A movement can be set on foot to
repeal the law, but as IL is more than a
year and a half before the next Assembly
convenes IL Is evident that this is not the
first method of attack.
Second--Resistance can be made in the
courts, a right which can be freely granted
them. In fact, 1t is evident that this is to
be the first mode of attack. But why do
they talk about funds Of $4,000 and $780,
900? IL the law Is unconstitutional. $4,000
would be good sum to pay a lawyer to
fight the case. But when they boastfully
talk about larger sums they are open to
the suspicion of trying TO work a blun in
bulldozing the people and in corrupting the
courts. II Is altogether possible that they
have already gone a little too far;
and even now there are proau

A correspondent of the Journal takes
exception TO its statement that the pari
~ OF the silver dollars now in circula-
ton with gold is largely due to the fact
that they are redeemable in gold, and
forwards a statement OF Hon. Charles
Foster. ex-Secretary OF the Treasury.
that III has never been the practice of
the Treasury Department TO redeem
standard silver dollars with gold" The
Journals statement was substantially
correct. When ii said that standard
silver dollars were redeemable in gold
II meant they were convertible into gold
at the option Of the holder, and so they
are. for the holder Of silver dollars can
always convert them into greenbacks.

Why does the sweet girl graduate
Seem so preoccupied?
Why does she haunt the dressmaker,
As if she were a bride?
All day, and half into the night,
Her fancy visions weaves;
She's putting her whole soul into
Her graduation sleeves.
Maybe she has an essay. too,
On some important theme,
Like, How to make home happy. or
Are things just what they seem!
But that which. till troubled sleep
Her active brain relieves,
Absorbs her thoughts is. what she'll have
For graduation sleeves.
or course there'll be, 10 hang them on,

But that gets little thought from her,
And other things still less,
That faithful pair Of big balloons
Alone her care receives.
Her life just now is centered in
Her graduation sleeves.

s. w. c.: The United States notes issued
under the act OF July 2, 1890. are not silver
certificates, but are treasury notes issued
in payment for silver bullion. They are le-
gal tender. There is a wide difference be-
tween the treasury note of 1890 and the sill
yer certificate. The former declares that it
is a legal tender and is payable in coin,
while the silver certificate is merely an or
der for given number of silver dollars
and is not legal tender.

redemption OF the notes on presentation in
the kind of coin demanded by the holder,
and the constant observance OF such adj

This is a distinct assertion of the poll

lars are practically convertible into
