Free Coinage Means Silver Monometallism.
A stork which had a nodding ac-
quaintance with a crane who lived in
the same marsh asked one day, "Neigh-
Dor Crane, do you always stand ON one
leg?" The crane thoughtfully swallow
ed frog which it had impaled a mo-
ment before, and, after some reflection,
replied, ono; always stand ON the
other"
The pretense that free coinage would
establish financial system resting on
two distinct standards of value has been
abandoned by nearly all silverites and
Populists. They admit that free silver
at 16 to would shift our currency
from gold to a silver basis, and that
we should have monometallism as GER
tainly as we have now. The only differ
ence would be that, instead of standing
on the gold leg, which has been used
for go years, the country would try to
balance itself ON an unsafe silver leg.
But the wise American bird replies to
the pleading of the silver mine owners
that their cheap metal be tried: "No.

it is the idea that France practiced from
1871 to 1879, when the last Of the war
paper currency was retired, though that
currency drew only and the bonds
drew 6 per cent interest. Indeed there is
no difference of opinion among fnanciers
of standing in this country and abroad
upon this question. Mr.. Hugh McCul-
loch, successful banker and one of the
few trained financiers we have had at
the head of the treasury, got congress to
begin the retirement of the greenbacks
before the reduction of the bonded debt,
but after couple Of years the cheap
money men and the demagogues and

Enough of the history of the green
back has been published in the last two

of the national debt is the portion which

Alleged Fall Of Pricos.

It is said that the single gold standard
has produced disastrous fall in the
prices Of commodities. Prices of COM
modities must be either advancing or
declining on stationary. The world has
no experience Of stationary prices and
probably never will have. Therefore
those who cry ont against declining
prices must be in favor of advancing
ones, but how far they would push the
advance they do not say. Is there any
limit to the desirable advance? If so,
what is to be done when it is reached?
As prices cannot be stationary. there
must, then, be decline. So we do not
avoid misery by gratifying the bimetal-
lists. We only postpone it.-Horace
White in "Money and Banking"

It is reported that the spire of Sails

was begun, in 1920, there was no
thought Of erecting spire on the CEN
trail tower. That was ON afterthought,
and the architect who designed the
tower strained the strength of the orig
inal substructure to the utmost. It has
always had to be carefully watched,
and the means taken to strengthen it
by iron bands and ties have only added
to the weight. OF late the stonework
has been decaying rapidly, 30 that the
spire Is in great danger of collapsing.
