WAGES IN SILVER.
One Result of Free Coinage that Working
People shonld Consider.

The free silver extremists allege that
if their demand for free coinage attic to
! were conceded it would cause AN in
crease in wages. On this plea they ap-
peal to the workingmen of the United
States for support. No sane man dou BITS
that the adoption of free coinage on that
ratio, without waiting for the aid or
consent of any other nation, would bring
US directly to silver basis, and Coins
Financial Fool proposes that in such
event we should legislate the premium
out of gold by reducing the weights of
the gold coins one-half. Suppose this
were followed by the promised increase
in wages. How much would the worker
be benefited by receiving small increase
in the number of dellars while the value
of each dollar was cut down SO per cent?
1t is open to grave doubt if there
would be any immediate rise in wages.
The effect of the sudden drop in the
working power of the currency unit
would be a corresponding cutting down
in the power of the money capital avail
able for the employment of labor and a
paralysis of all industries for the time
being. Not only would it be impossi ole
for many employers to carry on their
business on the same scale as before, but
they would be discouraged by inability
to understand the probable outcome of
the change. Not knowing where they
stood they would to a great extent cease
activity and production till they could
see what the new conditions were likely
to be. So, while the merchants and
small traders who had goods on hand
would double all their prices immediate
ly there would be stagnation in the la Dor
market, and even those who continued
to employ would be slow to concede an
advance in wages when they had such a
large surplus of available labor to draw
upon. The terrible character of the par
alysis can be family appreciated by
those who remember the prostration of
two years age, which was brought about
by the mere threat of the silver basis for
which the financial fools now are agftat-
ing. Nearly thousand banks closed their
doors, tens of thousands Of employers
were obliged to suspend, and hundreds
of thousands of toilers were thrown out
of work by that mere threat. How much
worse would be the reality The silver
extremists say we have not gold enough.
Then there would be none, except what
was locked up in bank vaults or hidden in
old stockings, the rest being sent across
the ocean, and the silver and paper
money left would have only half the en-

A great deal OF time and vast num-
be-. of words are wasted. it seems to us,
in the discussion of silver on collateral
matters which really have little bearing
on the question at issue. A great deal
has been written on the one hand to
prove that in the first coinage law passed
by Congress silver was made exclusively
the unit of value, and on the other to
show that the unit attached to both
metals. A library of very Tespecta BILE
size could be made from treatises on the
crime of 1879. Yet it is difficult to see
what either OF these questions has to do
with the proposal for the United States
to enter alone upon the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. Suppose
silver was the exclusive unit in 1889 can
silver on that account be foated in un-
limited quantities in 1896? Assume that
silver was demonetized surreptitlously-
oorruptly if you within 1873 can it be
remonetized in 1886 without bringing dis
aster? If silver were a human being
which had been stripped of some of it's
rights in 1873 we might be under obliga-
ton to restore those rights now even at
a great sacrifice. But being nothing but
An inanimate thing which neither feels
nor thinks there seems to be no occasion
for running the Iisk of wide commercial
disaster merely to restore it to its former
position along side of gold.

Speaking of the probable need of now
revenue, the Lewiston Journal, reflect
ing dou btiess the views Of Congressman
Dinaley, says: "The proposition to
impose a duty on tea and coffee will
not be seriously entertained. 1t is doubt
fuJ If the suggestion to increase the ex-
else tax on tobacco will be looked upon
Win favor. The suggestion that the
present 20 per cent tax on beer be in
creased to 40 per cent, will be regarded
with more favor-especially in view of
the fact that the tax would all come
ont of the brewer and saloon keeper,
who make immense profits. Another
proposition which will be looked upon
with much favor is to add 10 per cent
to all the duties of the present tariff
except sugar by ten-lined bill, without
going into the general revision of the
tariff. But as the House will be Re-
publican, the Senate with a populistic
balance of power, and the President a
free-trader, it Will be found very diff
cult for the Republican House and the
ant1-Republican Senate and President
to agree upon any plan to increae the

The Female Offender. BY Prof.
Caesar LON broso and William Ferrero,
with an INTRODUCTION by W. Douglas
Morrison. New York: D. Appleton &
Co.; Portland: Loring, Short & Har-
mon.) This volume is a translation of
that portion of DR.. Lambroso's La
Donna Delinquentza which deals with the
female criminal. The author thinks he
has demonstrated by the examination of
the skulls of a great many female crimi-
nails, that criminals of that
sex almost invariably show evidence of
physical degeneration or malformation,
and these malformations are different in
is very technical, and appeals more to
the specialist than to the general read
er. Some of the conclusions are exceed
ingly interesting. and appear to be we'll
sustained. The book contains a great
number of photographs of female crimi-
mails, and the characteristics of each are
pointed out.
A Handbook on Tuberculosis among
Cattle, with considerations of the rela-
tion of the disease to the health and life
of the human family, and of the facts
concerning the use of tuberculin as a
diagnostic test. Compiled by Henry
L. Shumway. Boston: Roberts Bros.
Portland: LorinR. Short & Harmon.
The subject of tuberculosis in cattle 10
one of increasing interest with tho gen.
eral public as we'll as with the farmers;
and Mr.. Shumway has done good service
by putting together in simple and reada-
to it. 1t has passed beyond speculation
and is a demonstrated fact that the
tuberculous disease in cattle is often COM
municated to man through the meat and
milk supply, hence there is no pers on
but has good reason to be interested in
the subject and todesre efficient measures
for the discovery and determination of
the disease in the lower animals. Until
recently the discovery OF the disease in
cattle has been difficult in it's early
stages, but tuberculin has supplied au
almost infallible test: SO that now the war
can be .Waged against 1t much more ell
GENTLY than has been possible heretofore.
Mr.. Shumway's book will do much to
still further arouse the public to the
danger of this disease and will therefore
prove of great value.

Price los and interest yielding net
return of about At per cent? subject to
advance without notice.
These bonds are dated May list, 1898,
payable without option twenty years af-
ter date, with interest at Al per cent
per annum, payable semi-annually on
the first days of May and November;
principal and interest payable in United
States gold coin of the present standard
of weight and fineness.
Of the total authorized mortgage,
s1SO000 bonds are already outstanding,
and $4,000 will now be issued for
equipping the whole system with cleo
tricity; Of this $4,000, we shall receive
for delivery $3.50, 900 on or before June
LIST, which are advertised herewith; we
shall offer no more of the bonds until
August, 1895.
The charter of the Railroad was
granted in 1890, and is perpetual. This
mortgage is first lien on all the fran
chises, rights and property Gncluding
real estate and equipment) situated in
the Cities of Portland, Deering and
Westbrook.
The length of track is 20.14 miles,
making the bonded indebtedness less

It will be noticed first, that the operat-
ing expenses, which included new cars,
motors, snow plough, 1 mile new
track, etc., were over so per cent of the
earnings were sufficient to pay the in
terest on bonds then outstanding, plus
this new block of 100000, tauice over.
1t is conservatively estimated that the
increase in earnings and decrease in ex-
penses (due to electricity will be at
least sufficient to pay interest on the
aohote Indebtedness, additional to the
present large earnings.
The capital stock is $500, 900, which sells
in the home market at lis to 120 and
pays per cent dividends. The surplus
is over $75, 1000.
An experts estimate of the savings to
to the road, by making the change to
electricity in 1895, over what the same
would have costin 1892, is at least $3.50, 900,
due to present low prices of rails, motors
cars, etc.
These bonds are legal investment for
Maine Savings Banks, S175,000 of those
outstanding being now owned by the
Portland Savings Bank.
We feel fully justified in recommend
ing them as a particularly choice invest
| ment, returning better income than
any other home security of similar
standing.

Mr.. Varney has compressed into this
valuable little handbook an amount of
valuable historical information concern
ing the early days of American indepen-
dence which it would be difficult to find
in another printed volume of it's size
He describes in the beginning the con-
dition of things in Massach usetts lust
previous to the breaking out of the war
of the Revolution, and then, starting
with the eighteenth of April, 1775, he
relates with great particu larity the
events of that night and the succeeding
day in Boston and at Lexington aud
Concord, the ride of Revere and Dawes.
the massacre at Lexington. and the fight
at Concord bridge. Paul Reyere's story
of his famous ride, the original of which
is owned by the Massachusetts, Histori-
cal Society, is quoted in full. Three ex-
cellent maps aid to a more perfect under
standing of the text, and there are
twelve full-page illustrations from recent
photographs.

Willard became clerk of the Superior
Court of Massachusetts in 1916. and his
association wlththe judges and lawyers of
Massachusetts, from that time on was close
and intimate. His book is series of remi-
MISC ences of the great lawyers of the
state with whom he was brought in
contact, and contains a great fund of
anecdotes in regard to them. The stories
they told and the stories told about
them, their witty, sarcastic and humor-
GUS remarks are here recorded in album
dance. Some of the stories are exceed
ingly good. others appear somewhat
poin tless but on the whole the volume is
very readable and interesting.

panion to Wee Lucy in the series entitled
Little Prudy's Children.
Although some years had elapsed since
the author wrote the last of the "Prudy"
stories the advent of "Wse Lucy" last
season, as the initial volume of a new
series for the little ones, showed conclu-
sively that Sophie May had not "lost her
cunning" and every child who has read
the quaint, droll sayings and laughable
doings of Little Pru1y and Dotty Dim
pie will be glad to make and continue
the acquaintance with Little Prudy's
children. The author retains all the
freshness and charm which characterized
her earlier work, and parents who re-
member the pleasure given them in their
