much Significance. Mr.. j. j. Il,ll has

Gunton's Magazine.
Honest bimetallism has a real standing
In court. The Republican party snd
protectionists generally have always
claimed to be blmetallists, and II the
sixteen United States senators and their
followers honestly stand for bimetallism,
they are justified in making this demand
upon the protectionist party But the
demand should be for bimetallism that
guarantees the permanent use OF both
metals, not scheme falsely named BIZ
metallism, which leads straight and Inn
mediately to the use of one metal only.
III the fight is to be between silver mono
metallism and gold monometallism, the
gold will surely win. u Il Is to be an
honest fight for blmetallism against
monometallism OF either metal. its sue
cess is assured. But TO use the name OF
bimetallism to obtain the unconditional
coinage of silver at l6 to l by the United
States alone, is a fraud, and puts the
whole movement beyond the pale of
serious consideration by honest states
men or careful publicists.
Honest bimetallism Is a feasible promo
sition which the Republican party and
protectionists generally may be expected
seriously to entertain. But any politi-
cal party which will permit itself to be
imposed upon by economic sophistry or
political threats into adopting silver
monometallism under the pretense Of pro-
tecting bimetallism, is not entitled to the
public confidence OF any class, much less
to be entrusted with the affairs Of
great nation.

THE PROPOSED BATTLEsHIPs
Two OF the Vessels Likely to Be Bull
In Government Navy Yards

Two OF the Vessels Likely to Be Built
in Government Navy Yards
Washington. March III the decision
OF the houss subcommittee on naval
affairs 10 max, provision for the building
OF six new battleships shall stand, the
officials OF the navy department will
make an earnest effort to have a clause
inserted In the bill requiring that at least
two Of the ships shall be built in the
government navy yards. In this effort
they do not expect TO be strongly an
tagonized by the private ship-buildlng
firms OF the country. They argue that
there are but three concerns now able
10 undertake such large work as the
building OF hattleships. one OF these
nrms has already contracted TO build
two Of these ships, and u the other firms
are each given a contract for two ships
II is believed they will be satisfied and
have as much work on hard as they can
safely undertake In this casa the navy
yards would be left to deal with two CT
these great vessels, and that is exactly
what all officers are anxious TO bring
about.
For several years past Chief Naval
Constructor Hichhorn has strongly urged
upon congress the wisdom OF keeping to-
gether at least tine nucleus OF an ef-
fcient working force OF mechanics at
the constructing navy yards by provid-
ing that at least one warship shall be
under construction therein at all times
II would not be necessary TO hurry the
work Of construction along on tn I'M, and
In case OF need for sudden repairs TO
ships already in servics skilled fora
OF mechanics would always be on hanC
TO undertake the work by diverting them
temporarily from the battleship. which
would thus serve as a stock job Sine,
the chief constructors last annual re-
port the conditions have become much
worse ut the great navy yards owing
10 the completion of all the important
construction work on hand.
Constructor Bowles who is in charge
OF construction at New York, says that
In the course OF few weeks there will
not be sufficient work on hand at that
navy yard TO employ even the skeleton
OF an efficient force, and he is seriously
concerned at the prospects for the future.
He has taken great pains to gather the
best men obtainable for the work of the
government. nd holds that Il will be ex-
tremely difhcalt or impossible to replace
them, after they are once dispersed. so
that this important yard win be unable
TO respond to sudden emergency. The
same or even worse conditions exist at
the great Norfolk navy yard, and the
commandant, Admiral Brown, has made
most strenuous appeals to the department
to have work sent there to keep the
force together.
