nt Headquarters greatly amused Yesterday
over the report that two brothers, Samuel and
Isaiah Frank, of No. S47 East Forty-ninth-st, 8,
were preparing charges against Mr. Andrews 10
present 10 Mayor Strong. They accuse the Com
missioner of wrongfuly recommending the dis
missa OF complaints made by them against two
policemen The Frank brothers have had several
policemen up on trial in the last two months,
and In each the charges were dismissed
by the Commissioners. they proved 10 be
groundloss. Last month they accused Patrolman
James Cavanagh and Patroman Thomas Barry.
Of the West One-hvndred -and-fifty-secc sta
ton They said that Barry drunk Fort
Wendell Park and insuted some women and
that Cavanagh threatened them. The charges
were tried before Commissioner Andrews. The
Franks utterly failed TO establish d case, and
Commissioner Andrews was forced TO recommend
the dismissal of the complaints against the two
officers Now IL is reported the Franks want to
have Commissioner Andrews put on trial for his
action in the cases mentioned. Mr.. Andrews

In thiscontest, patriotism is

for when that is done, the

Must Preserve Our Credit.

"Crcdit plays a great part in the
silver question. Ifyour merchants
buy goods from England, you will
find that credit amounts to great
deal, and on a silver basis we will
pay big sum for this
credit. This is why mer-
chants do not want silver basis.
They say that on a silver basis you
will scale down our debt one-half
Would you do it, and deprive the
man you owe Of one-half of what
YOU owe himp Shall the nation
do it1
IL say no, and not from senti'
ment do / make this statement, but
from a selfish reason. We must
preserve our credit in the world,
and II we adopt silver basis we
will ruin it the world over. We
want no silver basis to help us Out
of these hard times, because the
silver basis is dishonorable. Dis
trust brought on these hard times
in 1893, and hard times will las

Constitutional Money.

The free silver orators contin
uaIly pirate about silver being "thc
money metal of the Constitution. >
The Supreme Court of the
United States in 1871 in render.
ing its decision on the legal tender
act, said "The Constitution does
not ordain what metal shall be
coined"
There is no money of the Con-
stitution. That instrument wisely
gave Congress unlimited power
over all the subject of the coinage.
Congress might coin money out oi
any metal, and be entirely within
the Constitutional limits. 1t did,
however, in harmony with reason
and the opinions of the commercial
world and of mankind, choose gold
and silver for coinage in I7oa, but
it was the Congress and not the Con-
stitution that did this, and Congress
can change it at any time.
The Constitution OF the United
States contained three provisions
only upon the subject of coinage
They are, first, that Congress shall
have the power to coin money and
regulate the value thereof, and of
foreign coins; second, that no State
shall coin money; third, that no
State shall make anything but gold
or silver legal tender In payment
of debts. The whole subject was
RENTED exclusively to Congress,
and no limitations were imposed
except those of wisdom and COM
mon sense.
Gold and silver were not made
precious metals by coinage legisla-
ton 3They were so regarded before
any coins were made, and history
records gold as always the most
precious,

Democratic Doctrine.

The proportion between the
values of gold and silver is a
mercantile problem alto
gether. Just prin-
ciples will lead us to disregard
legal proportions altogether;
to inquire into the market
price of gold in the several
countries with which we shall
principally be connected in
commerce, and to take an
average from them. A COM
mission should therefore. be
appointed to inquire what are
the proportions between the
values Of fine gold and fine
silver at the markets of the
several countries with which
we are or probably may be
connected in commerce, and
what would be a proper pro
portion here, having regard to
the average of their values at
those markets, and to other
circumstances, and the coin
age of gold and silver at our
mints should be at the ratio
thus determined.

IT is a fundamental princi-

IT is a fundamental princi-
pie in coinage, recognized and
followed by all the statesmen
of America in the past, and
never yet safely departed
from, that there can be only
one basis upon which gold and
silver can be concurrently
coined as money, and that
basis is equality, not in weight
but in the commercial value
of metal contained in the re-
spective coins.
