REAPlNG AS WE SOWED.
We Are Now Feeling tho Effect of the
 Decentralization of Silver.

Day by day, as failures occur and stocks go down, it is q favorite thing for tho gold men to attribute these events to free silver" and tell us this is what it means. Wait until free silver comes and then judge it by its Norks, but i'll the meantime, our deaT gold standard friends, take your medicine You are not experiencing the effects of the coming of free silver, but are expe- riencing the legitimate and inevitable effect of parting with it in 1873. The hurt to silver, though $50, 900, 900 a year, is but the ''fiy on the wheel. ' When silver was thrown out of its work as money, turned into commodity and reduced in price year by year by con- stantly increasing and appreciating gold standard, every other product and com modity was broken down with it.
 The whole base upon which all the securities that Wall street deals in and billions more that do not come to Wall street at all has been undermined and crumbled by loss of products on produc- tion, by low prices brought on year by year by the growing standard of val ue'' that in 1873 was substituted for our monetary unit of silver. We have sown low prices in the foundation and are reaping them in the superstrueture. We are getting, not the coming of silver, but the legitimate ending ill failure of the gold policy. It has run us to the limit in our basic operations, and now the enormous and towering structure of debt built upon labor, now proftless labor, is feeling the effect of weakened foundations; that is all.
 Railroads cutting rates until inereas- ed business only means increased deficit, factories piling up products or shutting down or selling at cost and little un- der i'll order to prevent deterioration of machinery by idleness, the disorganiz- ing of working force, and, worst of all, the loss of channels of trade built up during many years and now the most valuable part of their capital, are all experiencing what the gold policy has done for them, and by and by they will attribute their troubles to the true cause. When they do, there will be heavy reckoning.
 When silver comes, rising prices will set in, and slowly and surely we shall get back to profit for production. good times, solyency for all that has not previously suceumbed. But before that comes a good many industries and in- terests will have perished by the way side New York Daily Financial News.

so as to meet his bid?
1t is a disputed question in this case,
whether the lesser drainage area with
the larger storage capacity, Is Of equal
value with the larger drainage area and
the lesser storage.
Bidders must have the opportunity to
compete, and that can be afforded only
by definite specifications, TO which all
bidders can conform.
The city may invite bids in various
forms, provided each proposal is upon a
specific definite plan.
II all had been invited to bid upon the
condition that there should be one hun
dred days storage, and also on the terms
Of two hundred and fifty days storage,
then the. city authorities would have had
the right to accept the larger or the les
ser drainage area.
In that case oportnnity would have been
given for the competition, which is a
prerequisite to- valid contract.
The fact that the Jersey City Water
Company offered two hundred and fifty
a storage was one of the
ces. which was persuasive in securing the
award of the contract to that company,
as appears by the report of the committee
on page 121 Of the printed case, and also
by estimates made. and by the discussion
of the case before us.
1t is necessary to refer only to page IS
OF the brief of the counsel for the Jersey
City Water Company to support this state
ment.
In answer to the objection tina the CON
tract was awarded on the basis of an
offer of storage capacity beyond that re-
quired by the specifications. the brief
contains this reply
The facts with regard to this are fully
shown by the report of the Committee
of the Whole of the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners to that Board on
page 121 to 12s. The advantages of large
storage capacity is also a business pro-
position clearly within the discretion
allowed by the Board. When what the
Board did is carefully examined, with
the facts admitted, it will be seen that
the Board had a right to consider the
advantage of this large storage, bearing
as it does upon the purity of the water,
and the scarcity in times of great
drought. 1t there appears that the stor-
age capacity was only one of the many
elements, which entered into the final
judgment, that the Jersey City Water
Company was the most advantageous bid
to the city"
We have not failed to notice that the
reply brief of the same counsel takes a
somewhat different position.
Whether other bids if proposed for up
on the larger storage basis would nave
been more favorable to the city cannot
be known until such bids are called for.
So it seems apparent that in order to
give a fair opportunity for competition
and to make an intelligent comparison
of the bids. the proposals should specify
whether there shall be a single pipe line
or two pipe lines.
It is not necessary to discuss other al
lodged infirmities in the proposals, and
the award of the contract under them.
The contract as awarded to the Jersey
City Water Company is interdicted by
the case of Shaw VS.. Trenton and must
be set aside.
