betrayed the feeling aroused by the In.
cident. Stripped of all It's apologize

q plea OF extenuation on the ground OF
McKiniey's poverty. Chambers utter
ances, which provoked the row, were
contained In an Interview. in which he
said;

LEGAL TENDER TN crRA

One need not go back in history to
get examples of the working of legal
tender, to illustrate it's uselessness save
to 1njure. We are having it today and
near our own borders. Cuba supplies
it. Gen. Weyler recently issued an Or
der commanding the people to receive
the paper notes issued by the banks at
par with gold. He makes these notes,
whose solvency the people doubt, not
only, as with our notes, legal tender
for the payment Of debts, but he de-
crees that people shall accept them
equally with gold in payment Of what
they have to sell. One use of these
notes was the purchase of exchange
on Spain, but the banks refuse to be
coerced and have closed their exchange
departments, saying they have no ex-
change when paper is offered, but find
ing it readily enough when gold is
proffered. A Havana dispatch saws:
AS a natural consequence the expectation of
gold and silver is being carried on to a great
extent. all the outgoing steamers carrying
considerable quantities of the precious metals
to Spain and the United States, this being
attributed to the great distrust existing
among the wealthy classes regarding future
prospects
This is but a present instance of the
operation Of a law as old as human ma
ture, formulated by and known as
Gresham's law, that the less valuable
money, when backed by legal tender
laws, drives out of circulation the more
valuable money. 1t is merely the move
ment of money under the impulses of
human desire to keep that which is
best and get rid of that which is of
less value. 1t illustrates also. by the
arrangement of trade the fact that
such laws, whenever really operative
work injuriously and never helpfully.
Gen. Weyler has despotic power. He
is an irresponsible autocrat He is the
state If such man, with such power.
cannot compel the acceptance in pay
ment of purchases of money regarded
with distrust, how much less will a
mere ''be it enacted of an American
congress effect it.

fishing his statement of his case, and
by sending to him privately the name
of a lawyer who will deal with him
fairly and honorably, but the lesson is
too valuable to be lost without laying
it before the general public.
There is little doubt as to how this
farmer will vote; because to his mind
nothing can matter much, since there
is no real true law in our country" He
is mistaken; yet when we see the Pop
ulist in the making, being hewed out
of a rough block by the hands of un-
scrupulous men who prey upon ig-
norance and misfortune, we can rec
ognize the source of our dangers, and
understand better than before that we
must work for the absolutely universal
and equal application of justice, lest
a worse thing come upon us.

THE ARTIFICIAL STIMULUS FOR
MORALITY IN LITERATURE

The French academy has just ac-
cepted legacy of $4,000 the interest
of which is to be awarded yearly as q
prize to the author of some moral
work" The academy has already re-
ceived large number of similar Leg
acies, and one of the leading French
journals makes the estimate that there
is at present prize for every moral
book published in France. This fact,
however, does not appear to have modi-
fed in the least the ethical quality Of
the annual output of French literature.
In general, moralists have decided
that it is better to fight wickedness by
encouraging good than by discourag-
ing evil, but this principle, which has
been proved sound in other depart
ments of ethical endeavor, would not
seem to be of value in the literary war
fare which our Gallo friends are wag-
ing with the devil. 1t may be that
some soulless writer's, with an eye to
personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT, are occupy
ing themselves in turning out wooden
IilOfdI pOL-DOllerS which perhaps
carry off the prizes of the French acad-
envy through lack of competition. 1t
is not to be expected that any moral
literature written in such a sordid,
gainful spirit would greatly enrich
either the letters or the ethics of a ma
ton. Would not the givers of legacies
for such use in France do we'll to offer
their prizes not for the production Of
moral books, but for the non-produc-
ton of immoral ones? In this present
decadent period it appears to be the
ambition Of every French youth of tai
ent to produce something in the line
of literature little more hideous, re-
voting and debased than any other
French youth has ever produced. 1t
would strike at the roots of this evil
emulation if the French academy
would simply award a prize to every
young man of acknowledged talent
who had never written such a book.
The remedy may seem a trif1e sweep
ing, but. 1t is not more so than the
disease, and, as absence of exertion is
always more easy than the presence
of it, the suggested system would have
the mighty power Of inertia enlisted
upon it's side.
