To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo, March 29.-DEAR SIR:
In one of your contemporaries this
week is a statement that notwithstand-
ing the decision of the Supreme Court
in favor of Danville on the county
seat controversy that the business will
be conducted at Montgomery City and
Danville will only be a county seat in
name.
This statement is far from correct.
The result of the decision will restore
to Danville four terms of the Probate
Court, two terms of the Circuit Court,
all the County Court business, all OF
the Recorders business, all the As
SCISSORS business, all of the T~reasurer's
business and all of the Collectors
business, in fact, all the machinery OF
the county government. Some little
difference. ONE WHO KNOWS.

Silver is Talking.

AlSAt NAC - A@VhA, EAb
Japan expresses a willingness to talk
peace. China has always been ready.
The cruel var is nearly over.
Occidental nations have been specu-
lating on the trade engagements which
will follow this victorious assault OF
modern science upon a soporific civil
ization.
Surely the opportunity is a splendid
one. Nothing has occurred in the GEN.
fury to develop at one stroke such an
activity in the distribution of products
as would be brought about by the en-
trance of European and American en-
terprise into the interior of that huge
Empire.
Europe understands the opportun-
ity; and the depression of trade has
quickened to intensity the desire to
get at some great new avenue of sell
ing.
But does Europe understand that
the Orientals use silver and almost no
other metallic money? Have the gold
standard nations reflected that to
jump into a magnificent trade it is
necessary to effect a system of mon
etary exchange which will suit the
habits and of China?
Germany, France andEngland would
better be urging that monetary confer
ence and applying all their brains tc
plans for not only extending the use OF
silver but for giving it a full money
status all over the world.
Without achieving a reconciliation
of silver, Europe will discover that the
selling of goods in China will be slow
work. China does not coin silver
her people have not enough faith in
the Government or each other. The
Chinese use the metal by weight. But
| that does not affect the case. An ex-
change is required which will work
without friction and will adjust itself
to the money the Chinese have and
are accustomed to use in their reckon
ing.
Bimetallism demands attention anC
Europe will be idiotic unless she gives
it anxious study.

wasted time of the late Legislature. L
