Police Commissioner Theodore Roose-
Welt has been making personal tour of
inspection among the policemen while
on duty Mr.. Roosevelt was unknown to
the most of them and so he observed
them as they are. The result seems to
show that there is need of more reforming
among the ''fnest. :" In several cases he
found policemen joking with each other
or with women and otherwise neglecting
their duty On demonstrating with them
he got some very saucy rejoinders and in
two or three cases was threatened with
clubbing or arrest. When he revealed
his identity there was very decided
change in the behavior of the men, and
they quaked when they were ordered the
next day to appear at headquarters and

United States been at a parity in their
commercial value. The silver dollar
coined under that act was worth more
than the gold dollar coined under that
act, and simply because OF this fact the
silver dollar did not circulate Before
that time the reverse was the case and
the gold dollar did not circulate. Gold
and silver coin have been circulating at
a parity since the act of 1873 but before
that they did not. Before the CONNER
cial value of the bullion in them governed
their circulation, and the result was that
there was such Il lack of parity that
either one or the other OF our two kinds
of metallic dollars was ont of circulation.
But since that by reason Of the restricted
coinage OF the silver dollar and the poll
cy of the government to treat the silver
dollar as Interchangeable with the gold
dollar, both coins have been circulated
at parity. The conditions for the
circulation of gold and silver coin at a
parity exist more fully today than
they ever have in the history OF the
country Free coinage, Mr.. Sewall admits,
would so interfere with those conditions
that gold would not circulate at all for
five or six years. Whether the conditions
would have changed by the end of that
time so that both would circulate is a
matter of speculation. Mr. Sewan thinks
they would. One thing is certain. Dur
ing this five or six years there would be
tremendous loss to the wage worker
who would receive silver dollars of far
inferior purchasing power to those he is
now receiving. Mr. Sewall seems to think
that the banker and the gold bug are
the ones who would principally suffer
from the change from gold basis to
the silver basis He is entirely mistaken.
The banker and the gold bug would be
able to protect themselves. The men who
would suffer would be the wage work
ers and the small depositors in savings
banks. 1t is always the people of small
means who are hit the hardest by
deprecated currency.
The Portland daily press., 1895-06-10

The majority of the Democratic Nation
al Committee are opposed to the calling
of general convention of the party in
August to take action on the currency
question, SO that any movement of that
kind will have to be initiated by the
Illinois Democratic state committee. One
can scarcely conceive of anything more
stupid than the attempt to commit the
Democracy on the currency a year in
advance of the national convention and
the wonder is that single member of
the committee could be found to give
countenance to such proposition. Be-
fore the national convention meets in
1896 there may be, indeed there is likely
to be, great change of sentiment in
regard to free coinage if business contin-
ues to improve.

MIR. sEwALL AND SILVER.

The Bath Times of Saturday publishes
an interview with the Hon. Arthur
Sewall, the Maine member of the Nation
al Democratic Committee, which leaves
no doubt that Mr.. Sewall's despatch to
the Illinois convention was lntimated as
an endorsement of free silver coinage at
the 16 to i ratio This is what he said
to the Bath paper:
l am heartily in favor of the free coin
age OF silver at the ratio of 16 to l. The
more | think of the matter the more I
am convinced that l am right The adj
vocates of gold recommendation are chiefly
the bankers and capitalists of Wall streets
linen who certainly don't represent all
the wisdom and patriotism of the coun-
try.
A single guild basis is not safe one
for our fnances-it is too liable to be
affected by movements in monied circles.
We need both gold and silver as the
founders OF this government wisely or
dered The first step toward a return to
that condition must be the undergoing of
the wrong effected through the demoneti-
cation Of silver in 1873 OF course the
first result would be to drive cut gold
and for five or six Yeas silver would be
the currency Of the country, but the result
would be that silver would gradually ap-
piccldIe, Wn1le gOIQ WOULD steadily QeDre-
ciate, and we would soon be back to the
condition we once enjoyed when the two
metals were at a parity.
| believe the financial question will be
the leading one i'll '96. l believe the great
majority of the citizens of this country
are i'll favor of free silver, and l hope the
Dellocratic national convention will
make this paramount issue in the next
campaign and fight it out on this line
Ii you want to make but two classes in
the country, one the very rich and the
other the very poor, the quickest way to
accomplish it is by means of the single
gold standard.
Every man should study the matter
carefully SO as to be able to act intelli-
gently next year.
Tt will be seen that Mr. Sewall frankly
admits that the first effect of free coin
age would be to drive out gold and
place us on silver basis, but in five or
six years he thinks the value of gold
and silver would come so near together
that I'VE should soon be back to the
same conditions we once enjoyed where
the two metals were at parity" 1t
would be interesting to know just where
we enjoyed these conditions Not since
