Listen to the singing Of the cuckoo bird;
Mr.. Bailey, OF Texas. has introduced a bill
"to secure the separation and independence
of the executive and legislative depart
ments by forbidding Senator'S and members
from soliciting. directly or Indirectly. the
APPOINTMENT Of persons TO office" In other
words. the independence or the Legislative
branch is to be obtained by depriving II
only one thing left. and that is TO take
away the necessity OF confirmation by the
Senate. Why limit the benevolent actfvi-

purely guesswork on the part of Senator
Chandler, and has no support in past
history or present conditions. If what
he sage were true there must have been
established by nature a fixed ratio be-
tween silver and gold. Such suppose
tion is nonsense, as nature has no more
to do with ratios than with the number
of buttons on a coat. Since gold is now
worth 80 times as much as silver, it
would seem that to deprive them Of
their use as money would affect both
alike. Senator Chandler thinks that the
result would be 10 decrease the value Of
gold twice as much as of silver, but Of
fers no proof that such would be the
case
The theory that it is the use Of gold
and silver as money which gives them
nearly all their value is another fat
money fallacy. the source Of the green
back delusion. The facts are just the re-
verse of what Senator Chandler says.
Iv>tead If being valuable because they
used for money, gold and silver are
used for money because they are valua-
BILE as metals. Before either was used
as a measure of value gold and silver
had value of their own and would
continue to be valuable if their use as
money entirely ceased. OF this there
can be no question, since in countries
which have no metallic money these
metals have a commercial value, which
in the case of gold is equal TO its coin
age value. If Senator Chandler were
right, gold and silver would be practi-
oally worthless in countries which did
not coin those metals into money.
There are other equally grave blum
ders in senator Chambers profession of
financial faith, but the above will be
sufficient to show that he is an unsafe

GLARlNG PALACES.
Crude and Unsound Views From n Sound
Money State.

hohe9 Sthtts
Senator William Z. Chandler of New
Hampshire declares himself as stead
tasty opposed to the gold standard and
In favor of free coinage under an inter-
national agreement at ratio of 151$
or 16 to l. In letter in which he de-
fines his position he says, "That man
knows nothing who will deny that if
both ceased TO be money metals an ounce
Of silver would be worth as much as
one-sixteenth of an ounce Of gold. :"
Senator Chandler differs from the other
Dlverites only in believing that the
United States cannot alone make the
value Of 16 ounces Of silver worth one
Of gold, but in other respects he holds
all the false doctrines of the cheap dol
lar school, His views as to the origin of
the value of gold and silver are exactly
those Of the fiat money advocates when
he says, 1t is the use Of the two (gold
and silver) as money metals that gives
each all Of its value worth considering. :"
That such glaring fallacies should be
believed by a senator from state which
has always favored sound money is an
Indication of the popular confusion as to
the real nature Of value. Senator Chan
dler would Indignantly deny that he
wished to aid in the reputation of
debts or to establish the silver standard
instead of gold. But his arguments are
exactly the same as those ON which the
Populists base their schemes for cheat
ing creditors and debasing the standard
of value.

UNFOUNOEO PREJUDICE.
Peculiar Views Held by Many That Banks
Favor Dull Times.

One Of the most surprising features
of the present cheap money agitation is
the evidence of widespread prejudice
against banks According to the silver
ties and fiat money advocates, it would
seem that bank is dabolical institu-
ton which preys on the farmer and
workingman, while the banker is an
enemy and oppressor of the people.
These peculiar views are held seriously
by many persons, who oppose sound
currency principles merely because the
bankers are in favor Of them
1t is hardly necessary in these en-
hShtened days to show that banks are
benefcent institutions, of as much use
in our present system of industry and
commerce as factories and stores. Their
chief function is to serve as reservoirs
for all the spare capital of the country,
which they receive only to loan out
again wherever it can be used to best
advantage. The idea of the Populists
that banks draw interest from the people
ON idle money locked up in bank vaults
is purely delusion. Unless capital is
employed it can earn no interest.
The chief benefit conferred by banks
is their insurance of credits, through
which much larger volume of business
of all kinds is transacted than if men
had to trade on cash basis. In this
way banks serve the same useful pur-
pose as fire or life insurance companies.
The Populist pretense that bankers
want money scarce SO that business will
be depressed is wholly untrue. In dull
times bankers suffer like merchants and
manufacturers. They cannot loan their
funds, while they are nearly always
bound to pay interest on the deposits
loaned to them. Every sensible banker
is anxious for the greatest possible pros
perity. The banker of whom the cheap
money advocates dream and write is al
together acreature of their imagination.

The Silver Case Stated.

The winklewad whortled its way through the

As the spadgerwick snooted a scent from

The snickerloot skecked on the snoot Of a

And the inklebot kinked the glune Of gar.
The suckerjab scrittled through thick and

The carpywog whetted the flangs Of its fin,
And flliped spuke at the scortle, hell

AS the jnglebox Joined in the chorus Of

While whangdoodles lifted the lay Of the loon,
And the jumblewhacks gobbied the dank
aftermath.
But in spite of this argument, strong as il is.
And in spite of the boomlet late brought
about,
The symptoms all point to an argentic fizz,
