Notwithstanding this conclusive ex-
perienc, some of our business men"
are frithtened out of their wits lest
this country may not be able to accom-
plish wat little France did so success
fully aid for SO many years.
Besidhs, to wait for England to help
US to rstore silver is as idle nonsense
as it wiuld have been for our fathers
to hav, waited for her to consent to
our Independence.
We must force her, as We easily can,
to an International agreement, by max
ing It Ter interest. The United States
government and its people owe Eng
land ard Europe several thousand mil
lions. II we make these debts payable
in goll or silver, at our option, as
prior 1873, and open our mints to
the fire, and unlimited coinage Of both
metals 1t will be the interest of our
creditors to have the silver, In which
We would pay the greater part Of them,
as valuable as any other money in the
world. This could be done by an inter-
national agreement to restore the un-
limited demand, which they destroyed
in 1871 and 1874 It would not be
twelve months after we began to pay
in silver before England would be or
gantziag an international congress for
this purpose.
To force Europe and England Is much
more becoming the greatest nation on
earth than to be occupying the attitude
of suppliant, as the republican plat

than half as much as Great Britain and
less than one-fourth as much as our
country, nation which could be carved
out Of the single state of Texas and
leave territory enough to make nearly
eight states as large as Massachusetts,
this comparatively little France for
thirty-nine years, from 1884 to 1873,
controlled the price OF silver all over
the Civilized world by opening her

And this, too, while the two greatest
nations Of the globe-the United States

stary systems from France. England
had slver demonetized, while the Unit
ed States had ratio of 18 to l.
No man who had silver in London
or NV York would take less than he
could get at the French mint minus

that d the time silver was demone-
tized q 1873 1t was worth per cent

Q-What do we give in exchange for
the imports noted in the above tables
A.-The products of our farms and
our factories.
Q.-But in cases where the exports
exceed the imports, what do we receive
to make the balance good?
A.-Nothing whatever.
Q.-That's queer. How do you ac-
count for it?
AIN this way: We owe fast for
eign debt of $1,000, 100000, the interest
on which must be paid annually. When
our exports exceed our imports the bal
ance in our favor goes towards paying
off our interest on our foreign debt.
Q.-Is our excess Of exports annually
sufncient to pay interest on our foreign
debt?
A.-No, not by far; our interest
amounts to $3.50. .000, 900 annually in ex-
cess of exports.
Q.-How do we pay the interest?
Ain gold.
Q.-Where do we get the gold7
Ave borrow 1t.
Q.-Cite an instance.
A.-During the past three years the
government has borrowed $262. 900 900
in gold from foreign countries with
which to pay the interest on our for

remember that almost n soon ~ the
various bond Issues were effected the
gold received was quickly withdrawn
from the treasury by holders of green
backs who wished to send the money
abroad In payment Of interest ON for

Q.-How does this country happen
to owe such = vast sum abroad?

Why has silver deprecated to so
cents in the dollar?" and how can the
law restore 1t to a 1OO-cent dollar?
A witty Jew once said In my pres
ence that Moses got up the first corner
on beef Of which history gives an ac-
count. HE bought up all the beef cat
tie and then passed law forbidding
the people to use swines flesh and
made millions out of the rise Of beet."
Even ten-year-old boy ought to see
that under such a law beef would 90
up and bacon down. Not that the law
directly fixes the value Of either, but
by destroying the demand for one and
increasing the demand for the other.
While law cannot fix values 1t can
, create or destroy either demand on sup
ply.
For untold ages prior to 1873 all the
great commercial nations used two
metals as redemption money Except
England for a short time). Ono was
gold and one was silver. In 1878 and
1874 the great nations destroyed silver
as redemption money. Thus was de-
stroyed the almost unlimited demand
for silver for this purpose, and inoreas-
ing the demand for gold. OF course
and inevitably. under the law Of de-
mand and supply. silver went down
and gold went up. and now gold-stand-
ard men take advantage Of this neces-
eary result Of their own wrong to dis
credit silver. And during all tho ages
that both metals were used as re-
demption or real money their rela-
tive values, no matter what their rela-
tive supplies, did not vary more
than three points. while during the
twenty-three years since the demand
for silver was cut down their ratio has
changed from 151s to to 81 to 1.
All that is necessary to restore their
ancient ratio is to restore the ancient
demand for silver as redemption money.
Unfairness of Single Standard.
This historical test proves another
thing. 1t shows that a standard COM
posed of any one metal cannot possibly
be as stable as standard composed Of
two metals. The reason is obvious.
When we have standard composed
VI ohAy oAO A4oSoA CNCiy huCluhLlOu III
the supply Of that metal. whether re-
sulting from the output of the miners
or from the cornering processes of
bankers and brokers, necessarily pro-
vides a corresponding fuctuation in
prices, and the burdens of debtors and
taxpayers and producers, as is the case
now.
On the other hand. when we had a
standard composed of two metals, and
the supply of either increased or di-
minished people who needed money to
pay debts or embark in enterprises or
for any other of the many uses for
which money is needed naturally
sought for the cheaper and most easily
obtained. This increased the demand
for this metal and lessened the demand
for the other. Thus under the simple
law Of demand and supply the values
of the two were brought to an equilib-
rum about fixed point or ratio, which
history proves to have been about 15A
to 1, which was the ratio established
by France.
But in the face Of history 1t Ia claimed
that this country could not maintain
any ratio by itself unaided by other
countries.

STILL Seeking WATER
Street and Water Board Will
Receive Bids for a New
Supply Monday.

The attention Of the public has been
occupied to such an extent of late with
Presidential issues, wrangles between the
Mayor and Street and Water Commissions
ers. strikes. grade crossings, track ele-
walton and so on, that an important pub
Tic work has to an unusual extent been
lost sight Of apparently. It IS the new
attempt to acquire a permanent water
supply, bids for which are to be received
by the Street and Water Commissioners
at a meeting to be held Monday morn
ing next.
The specifications, while ironclad, are.
the officials contend, liberal enough to
admit every individual or corporation de-
string to offer the city a supply of I'M
qnestionably pure water. Not only is this
said to be true Of the specifications cali
ing for a gravity supply, but the speci-
fications for a filtered supply offer equal
advantages to protective bidders. The
provisions Of the filtered supply specifca-
tons are particularly liberal. made SO.
the interested officials say, so as to make
criticism of them practically impossible.
The last time bids were received only
one bidder responded. The estimate came
aA0 1lhUSot1 (ClH-
pany, which company is said to have its
principal backing in the J. Copper Lord
estate, which lays claim to water rights
in the Rockaway River and valley para
mount to those OF the Morris Canal Com
pany. While the bid offered some adj
vantages over the proposal of the Jersey
City Water Company. which had been
previously accepted by the city. but
which was subsequently overturned by
the Supreme Court, the Street and Water
Commissioners could not see their way
Clearly to act owing TO protests having
been fled by the East jersey and Jersey
City Water Companies, the leading water
corporations In the State.
The Street and Water Commissioners
are confident now that plenty of time
mas been given bidders in which to raise
their deposit money of 100000 and also 10
prepare their plans. This being the case
they anticipate receiving proposals from
at least three companies, namely. the
Rockaway and Hudson, East Jersey and
Jersey City Companies. It would not sur
prise the officials very much If bid
should come from other sources. Bids
for a filtered supply are also looked for
and on the whole the Commissioners hope
to have a fine array Of plans to choose
from.
AS soon after the reception Of bids as
practicable the usual inspection of water
sheds oHered Will be made. After that
the several plans will be examined with
the aid Of an expert, the one offering
the greatest advantages to the city Sc
iected and al award made. It IS not
likely that any definite action will be
taken about the temporary supply until
after the permanent supply question is
disposed of.
Commissioner Boltwood and Heintze
are opposed to the acquisition of a per
manent supply if bought from a corpora
ton or Individual There will conse-
quentiy pc the same ~squabbling among
the officials as has characterized everv
effort to obtain a new water supply.

PENNSY WORK GOES ON.
Railroad officials Feel Confident
in the Future Business
on the Increase.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. q, 1S96.-Not-
w-ithstanding that the Pennsylvania Rafl-
road Company has stopped nearly all
new work, the Maintenance of way De-
partment is as busy as ever and strict
attention is being paid to keeping up
the roadbeds. Generally about this time
or a little later In the year an invent
ory of the requirements of steel rails for
he's ensuing year is made, but as there is
very little new rail being used at this
time 1t is thought that nothing win be
done in this matter until after the No
vember election. The Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company has a large amount of
work on hand which 1t will undertake to
finish as soon as the prospects are
brighter.
1t is the belief of railroad people that
business In the fall will show signs Of
Improvement and as soon as it does such
work as is required will be gone ahead
with The work at Mount JOY is being
pushed to completion and when this is
ended no further new work will be done
for some time. There is very little
change in the condition of business as far
as the railroads are concerned. In. the
passenger business it is said there is a
slight Increase, and during the last few
days the shipments Of freight have been
larger thar they have been for some
time.
During the summer months many of
the officials of the railroad companies
with headquarters in this city have
taken vacations longer than usual, but
it is thought that within the next ten
days they viii all be back in their
Offices again. President Roberts, who
has been up in the New England States,
is expected back next week, and Third
Vice President Pugh, of the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad Company, sails from
Southampton on Saturday. MIR. Harris.
of the Reading Railroad Company, Is
also away and during his absence there
Is very little doing outside OF the routine
business.
The depression in business has affected
and If it had not been for the policy Of
retrenchment which the coal companies
have In force this year they would have
a large stock of coal on hand, but. as it
enough TO meet the present deman 1t
is thought, however. that next week
there will be quite a rush made by deal
ers for speedy delivery of their orders,
in prices to tidewater points and TO the
city and line trade VIII be made.
