 The new electric line now in opera ton on that street will make it one of the principal streets in the city if the property owners and the council take such action as clearly they ought in the matter.

JUDGE VIM. H. BARNES ON SII-
 VEP

Jacksonville Qll) Courier: The Courier has at all times been closely watching the monetary situation and scanning the drift of public opinion, and has as yet failed to discover any good reason for the goldite contention that the people are losing interest in the silver question or that the so-called craze is dying out.
 With view of getting at what lies beneath the golden haze which is be- ing sedulously diffused over the coun- try in the interest of the opposition to the cause of silver, the Courier man called upon Judge Wm. H. Barnes, now resident of Arizona, and gentleman who is too well known in our city to require any formal introduction, and requested of him an expression of his views and the conclusions he has ar rived at through personal observation and investigation.
 Judge Barnes kindly acceded to the request, and we lay before our readers the subject matter of the solid talk given by him, and without further comment, commend it to their careful consideration.
 Courier man-'What do the people the west think of the Illinois plan as to silver?'
 MT. Barnes They hailed it as the very best means of raising the issue. It is an issue that must be met. Coin- age of gold and silver is purely a ques- tion for legislation, and public opinion must settle it, and discussion leads to healthy, intelligent public opinion. Let us not be afraid of the people,"
 Courier man-"But they say the siI- yer craze is waning. What do you

drives to that enevitable end.

''The argument of the gold-bugs con-
 sists of foretelling the dire disasters of
 bimetalism. Let some one of them
 step forward and tell us how he is
 going to maintain gold as the only
 money of redemption. How many
 bonds he is going to issue. What he
 will do with the greenbacks. How many banks he is going to establish to issue bank paper instead of the green
 backs. What legal tender currency will he have beside gold? If gold only, let him tell us where he is going to get it, where it is and who has got it, and how much he has got, and how he pro- poses to get it from him. These are some of the questions the advocates of monometalism must answer and settle. I imagine he will find it difficult to do so and that he will have ample food for reflection for a long time. If he has been disturbed, tired and unhappy in thinking of free silver at Is to 1, he can turn with great profit to himself and fellowmen to the business of clear ing away the difficulties in his way. The main difficulty that he has pointed out to free coinage is that he says that to coin silver, as cheap as it is, free at the hints and to make it legal tender would send gold to a premium. Bi- metalists deny this We can never know who is right until we try it. This much is sure, if gold and silver be given equal rights in the hints. coining silver dollars at 371A grains pure silver will tend to bring gold and silver toward each other in value. Bi- metalists say they will come together. It is time enough to change the ratio when this has been tried and the point Of equilibrium found by experiment. A large use of silver a phrase fash l lonable just now in resolution by those able just now in resolutions by those who want to keep on both sides of the | question, is not bimetalism. It is gold nonometalism pure and simple. It is idle folly to pay even 50 cents for sil- yer to stamp token dollars on. Paper is cheaper and better.
 But the question is too large and you will excuse me-"
 Courier man-"Who will be the can- didate next year?"
 MT. Barnes-"It will be a man who will not veto legislation friendly to silver"
 Courier man-"Are not good crops. plenty and better times hurting the silver question
 MT. Barnes-"We can't have too much of any good thing, corn or silver or gold. But we would prefer that this crop bring silver and gold price rather than a gold price. This will help, not hurt the cause"
