CONGRESSMAN CALDERHEAD justifies
his vote in favor of bonds by assuming
as a fact something that is not true. He
says: 1.-THE law of 1875 gives the secre-
tarY of the treasury and the president
power to issue bonds to protect the gold
reserve" Nowhere in the law of 1915
can Mr.. Calderhead find any reference to
gold reserve. The law provides for an
issue of bonds, to obtain money-not
necessarily gold, but coin-for the pur-
pose of redemption, when necessary,
The logical inference is that the bonds
may not be issued when no necessity
exists. No necessity can exist as long as
there is available coin in the treasury,
There is S63,O00.000 of gold coin alone
in the treasury to say nothing of the
silver. Hence, it must be apparent to
anyone that no necessity for bond issue
exists. Mr.. Calderhead in the interview
above quoted calls attention to another
matter that has been generally overlook
ed. He says: "From 1878 until the last
Democratic administration went in, the
treasury notes and all paper Of the United
States was international money. Our
paper passed for its face value ia London,
Berlin, Vienna, Paris, anywhere it was
presented" 1t appears then that our
money only became discredited in the
rest of the world when we discarded
silver entirely and rendered its redemp-
ton doubtful by making it dependent
upon our limited supply of gold

TIE reputation which the state has at
tanned under the present business ad-
ministration, through Governor MorrilPs
standing up for Kansas and sitting down
on the law is Illustrated by the following
extract from the Wine and Spirit Ga
zette: "The prohibitory law in Kansas is
taking its place along with the other
laws on the statute books. and is being
enforced or not enforced largely as local
sentiment demands. 1t has ceased to be
of much importance politically, and is,
indeed, viewed with greater Indifference
by the great mass of the people than at
any time since the adoption of the
amendment It is spasmodically en-
forced in the rural regions, but is con-
sidered dead letter in the cities."

THE YELLOW NAN AND TIE
KHTTE DOLLAR

Ithas often been asserted by the friends
of silver that the price of cotton and
wheat are largely affected by the price
of silver and just as often denied by the
goldbugs. The Philadelphia American
has collected some figures relating to
the question, which are very Instructive.
What follows is taken from the Ameri-
cans editorial.
In 1874 the Shanghai price of picul
(13315 lbs.) of the best Chinese cotton
was about 12 Haikwan taels. Today IL
Haikwan taels is still given as about the
average purchase price of a picul of the
best Chinese cotton in Shanghai, and
during all the intermediate years the
price of cotton varied but little. For the
last twenty-one years the average price
of Chinese cotton has been about 10
Haikwan taels. But the Haikwan tael
is based on silver. In 1884 it was worth
S1.61 in gold, on October last but 80
cents, while on the first of the year it
was worth but 749 cents,
For twelve Haikwans silver taels the
Englishman could have bought a picul
of Chinese cotton in 1874 or 1875; for
II Haikwan taels he can still buy picul
of cotton. But in 1874 he had to pay for
his tael $161 in gold, while today he
pays but so cents, SO that the cotton that
would cost him $40 80 in 1874 or 1875
would cost him today only $3.50 The
silver price of cotton in Shanghai has
remained unchanged for the past twenty
five years, but the price to the buyer
purchasing with gold has varied with
the fluctuations in silver.
In view of the great advantage which
the fall in the gold price of silver has
given the cultivators of cotton in China,
it is not surprising that the exports of
cotton from Shanghai should have risen
from 81, 146,6 $3.50 lbs. in 1886 to 124,043,-
1888 lbs. in 1894, of which Japan took a
constantly increasing quantity. which is
being manufactured into goods that are
replacing the prints formerly made in
England and America with American
cotton for the Chinese and Japanese
trade, and thus curtailing the demand
for American cotton.
All of which goes to show says the
American that the yellow Man" and the
"White Dollar" is more than a match for
the White Man. and the "Yellow Dol
lar
Change the locality from China to
India, the staple from cotton to wheat
and with but little alteration of the figures
we have the story of wheat. This is
what is meant when it is asserted that
American silver is purchased for sixty
cents an ounce and sold in the Orient for
$1-29 an ounce. 1t is not expected, how
ever, that editors of gold standard or
gans can understand it.
