SENATOR MORRILL, ON FREE
SILVER COINAGE.

The United States has been the
friend and patron of silver to it's own
hurt. and made large market for the
white metal while many other mark
cts were closed. 1t has coined sill
yer by the million, and kept it with
all of our currency at an equal value
with the best money of the world.
Heretofore the Government has
been required to buy only a fixed
quantity of silver, that it did not
want, and to pay no more for it than
the existing commercial value. But
under the free coinage substitute,
proposed for the bond bill Of the
House of Representatives, the Gov
ernment will be required to run in
debt, for what it does not want, and
to give it's notes for an indefinite
amount of silver, limited only by the
annual product Of the whole world,
and at a fixed cost Of twice it's COM
mercial value, Or at the rate of $1.29
per ounce, instead Of it's present value
of 81 cents per ounce.
If our investments of nearly five
hundred millions in silver have been
notoriously improvident and unpro-
fitable, the disastrous results will ap-
pear as a drop in the bucket when
compared with what must flow from
the enormity of the present proposal,
which is to open all of our mints to
the free coinage not only of all our
own silver product, but that also of
all the world, excluding nobody from
Dan to Beersheba, and to tempt a
great increase of the annual product
both at home and abroad by offering
United States obligations for it at
double the sum it now commands in
any other market.
The vast product, whether in silver
bullion or silver dollars, once in the
possession of the Government must
stay there forever, defunct as an
Egyptian mummy, as the pnblic long
ago refused to aid it's larger practical
circulation.
If an individual spendthrift were to
make a like exhibition of incapacity
is not court of any state having juris
diction of the subject that would re-
fuse, if asked, the appointment of a
guardian.
Whenever the issuance of depreci-
ated money is tolerated, so as to per-
nit an increase of the amount out
standing, as is proposed by the silver
free coinage substitute for the bond
bill, now under consideration, fur
ther inexorable depreciation of such
money must follow, as our own recent
unhappy experience sufficiently de-
monstrates. When we began to coin
silver dollars in 1878, silver was worth
s1.20 per ounce, and the silver in our
dollar was worth 90 cents, and has
been growing less month by month
ever since. Silver is now worth 81
cents per ounce, and the amount in
the silver dollar is worth 50 cents

The Utah members of the house and
senate at Washington have begu n
with great promptness to look out for
the interests of their state. They
have introduced bills annexing to the
new state all that portion of Arizona
lying north Of the Colorado river, and
most Of the eastern boundary of Utah.
Arizona, however, is anxious for
statehood, and her people will bitter
1y oppose parting with piece of ter
ritory as large as the state of Con-
necticut, merely for the purpose of
making Utah little greater sym
metry Of outline.

Report comes from London that
Lord Dunraven has taken an appeal,

Investigating committee of the New
York Yacht Club to the Prince of
Wales as commodore of the Royal

That the squadron aforesaid declined
TO be considered as in any manner a

About $11 900, 900 in gold has already
been paid into the Treasury as a re-
suit of the sale Of bonds, according to
the latest official advices. At least
S9,OOO,OO0 more. however, has been
turned over to Sub Treasurer Jordan
at New York, notification Of which
reached the department at Washing
ton on Feb. IL.
This addition to the gold reserve
came just in time. The heavy with
drawals of Feb. 10th, and the 1888, 300
taken out the following day would
have reduced the reserve to 1885,,
113, the lowest point to which it had
fallen since it's creation. The pay
ment of $40, 1888, ,29O for bonds left the
reserve at the close of business on
the afternoon of Feb. 18th, standing
at SOL, ,939, ,4O3. 1t is expected that
large payments will be reported from
all the Sub Treasures during the
next day or two, and that the growth
of the gold reserve will be regular
and steady during the next sixty
days.

An INFERNO IN CUBA.

A literal promise of a reign of ter
ror is contained in the proclama
ton of General Weyler, upon taking
command of the Captain Generally
of Cuba. "Speaking we'll Off the en-
emy or "discrediting the prestige of
Spain," is to be a crime, punishable
with the "use of all the rigor of the
law" Alas, three hundred years of
history are indictable for the latter of
these two misdemeanors.
Passive submission to the destruc
ton of ones property by the insurg-
ents is also an offense. It Indicates
Indifference on the part of the in
habitants, and also fear and discour-
agement.' To fail to supply the
Spaniards with guides and news of
the enemy's movements is also in
dictable under the code Weyler. No
doubt is possible as to the enforce
ment of the DEGREES of the Captain
General. He means what he says.
He specifically instructs his generals
of the army, the civil and military
governors, chiefs of columns and
military commanders" to "detain and
put at my disposal or submit to the
tribunals those who in any way have
described show help or sympathy for
the reoels.'
What this means in a Latin prov
ince is terrene dnferuo, a veritable
hell on earth. 1t means a play of La
Tosca staged all over Cuba. We use
the comparison for no purpose of lit
erary establishment, but simply be-
cause it conveys the Weyler or Latin
notion Of ''strong" government to
more Americans than any other COM
parison we know of. 1t means treach-
cry in families. 1t means assassina-
tions. 1t means military executions
of the old Burriel order. 1t means
confessions by torture. 1t means
ruthless butcheries of outlying de-
tachments of troops. 1t means plum
der. It means rapine. Last of all, it
means defeat.-The Press.

LONDON, July ia majority OF the
newspapers express themselves as sat
isficd with the adoption of the DECEASED
wtte's sister bill. after forty years Of
agitation. The important question now
IL, will the government give the bill a
chance OF passing the house Of commons
as well as the house of lords? 1t Is be-
lieved that At least two-thirds OF the
members OF the lower house are In favor
of the measure. while outside 1t can
safely be said that the mass Of the peo-
pie, except section OF the church party
Is also In favor of the bill.
Lord Dunraven made a telling point
when he produced a whip" sent to the
Catholic peers, In which Cardinal
Vaughan declared that he hnd the au-
thority OF the pope TO call upon oil
Catholics TO oppose the bill. This has
been seized upon by the newspapers to-
day as interference with English poll
tics and Is certain 10 intensity the feel
