RLArNE ON SILVER

Much has been said from time to time
regarding the position which James G.
Blaine occupied toward silver. a cor
respondent of the Kansas City Journal
has taken the trouble to look up a speech
made by Mr.. Blaine on this subject, an
extract from which is here given.
In February, 1878. the senate was con-
sidering a bill authorizing the free coin
age of the standard silver dollar, and
restoring its legal tender character.
James G. Blaine addressed the senate in
a very effective speech. Among other
things he said:
It is the instinct of man, from the saw
age to the scholar-deveIoped in child
hood and remaining with age-to
value the metals which in all tongues
are called precious. The people do not
demand cheap money. They demand
an abundance of good money, which
is an entirely different thing. They do
not want a single gold standard, that
will exclude silver, and benefit those
already rich. They do not want
an inferior silver standard that will drive
out gold and not help those alre ady poor.
They want both metals in full value, in
equal honor, in whatever abundance the
bountiful earth will yield them to the
searching eye of science and to the hard
hand of abor. The two metals have exsti-
ed side by side In harmonious, honorable
mpanionship as money ever since in
telligent trade was known among men.
It is well nigh forty centuries since
Abraham weighed to Ephron 400 shek-
els of silver (current money with the
merchantl Since that time, nations have
risen and fallen, races have disappeared,
dIafnRfG
gotten, arts have been lost, treasures
have persisted, continents have been dis
covered, islands have been sunk into the
sea, and through all these ages and
through all these changes silver and
gold have reigned supreme as the repre-
sentatives of value and as the media of
exchange. The reinforcement Of each
has been attempted in turn, and some
times the deLhronement of both, but al
ways in vain.
Commenting on the above the Journal
prints the following:
In another column a correspondent
quotes from a speech of that great
American and Republican. James G.
Blaine, in favor of free silver. Yes, we
write it ''free"-for that was his speech.
Some subsidy Republicans, like the New
York Tribune, will squirm- over the re-
vival of the free silver record of James
G. Blaine-for that paper, under the
same control as it is now, was an original
all round Blaine organ at that time and
for years afterw ard.
But Mr. Blaine did more than talk-he
voted as he spoke 1t was his work the
calling together at Washington, under
his own presidency, of the pan American
congress, one of the leading measures
there proposed being the adoption of an
international coinnge of silver and gold
by the states of America. Had that
policy been fully carried out-as it must
be in the future-the United States today
would have been at the head of the COM
mercial world, and every government of
Europe striving by restored silver coin
age and use to hold its share of American
and Asiatic trade. There are thousands
of Blaine men who remember these
things, and, like their great leader, will
vote as he shot.

Naval Constructor, rs n Thorough
American and an Up to Date ship
Builder.
A more burdensome responsibility
than that which rests upon the shout
ders of Commodore and Chief United

not well be imagined. It is his business
to build Uncle Sam 8 warships. Con-
gress can appropriate the money and
in general terms designate the type, dis
placement, cost and desired speed of
any given craft, but that is all. When
these things are determined upon, the
work of the bureau of construction be-
gins.
From start to finish this work is Of
the most complicated nature. Human
ingenuity has never planned, human
hands have never built, more complex
structure than modern warship. The
amount of computation necessary in
working out the details, after the will
of congress has been declared with re-
gard to given ship, is almost beyond
belief. It may be said that the earliest
stage of a man-Of-war is virtually a fig
uring match, for the purpose of deter
