COY. hltgeld ofsIllinois, who has abus-
ed the pardoning power to an alarming
degree having pardoned one hundred
and fifty convicted criminals, received a
pointed rebuke recently, which must
have struck home. Lynch law was re

of the lynchels gave as an excuse that

THE EVILS OF FREE CoINAGEur
SILVER,

The foreign trade of this country
aggregates annually in exports and
imports 81, 800, 100000 of value. This
trade Ia carried on almost wholly on
credit. Now, says the PHILADELPHIA
Record, suppose that the free silver
ooiners shall have their way, what
would be the result of the success of
their little pet scheme? and it tersely
out clearly answers the query by as.
serting that gold would be driven from
circulation; silver would be the base
OF all credit; foreign traders, except
perhaps Japan, Mexico ana the Latin
Republics, would refuse to accept our
silver as medium of exchange, and,
In consequence of all this, q terrific
financial panic would sweep over the
country. The national credit would
be tho first to suffer; from the United
states Treasury the panic would pass
to the clearing house, from the clear.
ing house to the national banks, and
from the national banks to every citi.
zen thrifty enough to have bank &C.
count. The inevitable outcome OF such
policy the policy of free coinage of
silver at lG TO may be summed MP
In two words: Universal discredit
This is the condition that confronts us.
and, as the Record remarks, oil the
sophistry of silver enthusiasts cannot
veil the issue from the people.

In referring to the expense and waste
of great standing armies. he says that
the military policy which keeps III

Europe is happily unknown IN the

European nations are deprived of the
labor. skill and extrtions of 1000, 900
men IN tho prime of life, but that they
have also to set apart !, COO, 600 workers

classes to feed and clothe their armies

He further says that through the
periecting OF machinery for farm use
one man in this country can feed $50
persons, while in Europe one nun
leeds only thirty. This great develop
ment III the mt chnnic arts is equRlled
also by the intellectual power of the
Republic, which is IN harmony with
the industrial and mechanical.
lie goes on TO show that the census
OF 1850 showed that 81 per cent. OF the
totnl population over ten years OF ago
could read and write. and asserts that
lin the history OF the human race no
nation ever before possessed 1000, 900
instructed citizens" He shows also
that the annual echool cIpediture III

The growth of wealth likewise shows
startling results; from 81 $50, 600, 900 in
1920 TO SIG, 100, coo, 600 in 1850, and
500, OBJ, 100000 in 1890. The number
OF dollars pei capita was $205 in 1920,
S5lI in 1850, and 81, 039 in 1890, but in

| Thrce European nations have moro
money per capita than We have, viz.

and Holland, S1,0S0. The wealth in
these countries represents the accumu.
lation OF centuries, while ours has been
accumulated III comparatively short

MIR. Mulhall is strongly of the opin
