Confessions of Coin.

From the Chicago Times Herald.
Coin, what do you mean in your
Financial SCHOOL, by saying (p. s.,
while trying to show that the silver
dollar had always remained the unit:
$50 that up to 1873 we were on what
was known as bimetallic basis, but
what was in fact a silver basis?'
Didn't you know that from about 1910
silver dollar was never seen in cir
culation, and that gold was the only
money in use?
No, had not known about that.
Well, Coin, you are small boy and
may learn sense and many other
things as you grow older, but didn't
you know you were fibbing when
you said we were on silver basis in
fact after 1884?
Well, yes; but / changed the sense
a little to suit what the silver mine
owners told me to preach. They tell
all their speakers to make confusing
statements, and then by the time they
are exposed to go on to something
else.
Then you knew, did you, that the
market ratio of gold to silver after
| 1884 was far different from the legal
ratio of 16:1, that gold was the cheaper
metal and drove out silver, and that
no silver dollars were in circulation
from that time until 1878?
Yes, but l did not think it obligatory
on me to put in everything, especially
if it did not agree with my orders
from my employers.

WANTS NO CONVENTION.
Hon. G. G. Daniel, Chairman of Audrain
County Democratic Committee,
Talks Sense.
From the vandalia Leader

The Post Dispatch Sunday published
the opioions of prominent Missourians
on the advisability of calling silver
convention. Among those interviewed
were Hon. G. q. Daniel, of this city.
Mr.. Daniel opposed the convention
from the fact that such agitation at
this time, no matter whether it favored
silver or gold, would not be beneficial
to the business interests of the state.
Congress hammered away on the
question a long time, and it left the
country in such an unsettled condition
that it has not yet fully recovered.
What we most want, he thinks, il a
rest from politics and chance to make
"a living, and this certainly cannot be
brought about by a state political con-
yention.

England imports $1,000 worth of
potatoes every year.
Twenty million dollars worth of bank
notes leave the Bank of England
daily.
The total cordage required for a
first rate man-of-war weighs about
eighty tons, and exceeds s15, 900 in
value.
The long distance telephone be-
tween Paris and London has over 200
calls day. At the rate of 50 for each
call it pays.
A Tennessee boy had curious way
of proving that he was child of ten
der years and entitled to ride at half
fare when he whipped the conductor
who held different opinion.
Over $40, 900 in cash was found be-
hind pictures and under carpets and
in other places in the residence OF
Mrs. Daniel De Laney, wealthy
woman, who died at Sylvan Lake,
Dutchess Co., New York.
England has plenty of money for
investment. Tenders for $4,000, ,00C
treasury bills were opened recently
at the Bank of England, and the total
amount applied for was not far short
of $35, 100000.
During the Franco Prussian war
the Germans fired 30,00O,0OO rife
cartridges and 1868, 900 charges of ar
tilery, killing or mortally wounding
77,o00 Frenchmen, showing that 400
shots are required to kill or mortally
wound man.
During the most peaceful years the
world has 3,7O0,0 900 soldiers, who are
withdrawn from productive occupa-

When it was first proposed to light

objection was made by the public and

Total Abstinence and Vitality.

Gen. Neal Dow may profitably cite
his own case in proof of the benefits OF
total abstinence. There is probably
no livelier man of 81 in all Maine, a
state prolific in vigorous old men, and
none sounder in mind and body. When
Gen. Dow celebrated his birthday, a
week or SO ago, he greeted all his
numerous callers with hearty hand
shake, and exhibited iveliness of
demeanor that was surprising. He is
as active as ever in the cause he has
championed for so many years. During
the winter just passed, for instance,
on five occasions he left home at day

ARE NOT GOLD BUGS.
President and Cabinet, Except Two
Members, are Bimetallists.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 25.-
There is reason to believe that the
President and his advisers are devot
ing great deal of attention to the
agitation of the free coinage of silver
at ratio of 16 to 1 now in progress
in several States.
The statement is untrue that was
sent out from Washington few days
ago by one of the news associations
that the President and all the Federal
the President were to marshal as a
grand army to resist the advance of
silver sentiment. Nor is it true that
opposition to free coinage of silver at
the ratio of Is to l is to be made a
tenet of party faith by the President.
Mr.. Cleveland and bis advisers are
| very much opposed to the free coin
age of silver at ratio of Is to l for
the reason that they believe such a
policy would be destructive of the
the business interests of the country.
| The President, as he has often stated
in his public communications, is a
| bimetallist. He has stated publicly in
his communications to Congress and
semi official communications through
the press that he is a friend of silver,
and in private conversation the Pres
ident reiterates this declaration. The
President does not believe that those
who are advocating the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at ratio of
16 to 1 are wise friends of silver. Be-
ing convinced that deprecated cur
rency would upset the business of the
country and endanger the prosperity
of the people the President is opposed
to free coinage unless by international
agreement.
The Republic correspondent is as
sured that the President and all the
members of his Cabinet, with the ex-
ception of two, are bimetallists. Sec
retary Morton and Secretary Lamont
are in favor of the single gold stand
ard. 1t was believed for a time that
the Attorney General was a mono
metallist of the gold school also, but
your correspondent is reliably inform
ed that Mr.. Olney is bimetallist, and
much more friendly to silver than
other members of the Cabinet, who
have posed as advocates of silver until
quite recently.
The administration will do every
thing that is legitimate and proper to
convince the people that the free
coinage of silver at ratio of 16 to ]
would be dangerous, but there will be
no pressure brought to bear by the ad-
ministrstion to control the opinions o.
officeholders or individual Democrats
throughout the States. 1t will be {
contest of reason and not of coercion
