Simple Question For Silver Leaders.

Who would be benefited by adultera-
ton of the currency? Not the farmers.
They could not be better off if they got
two so cent dollars where they get now
one 100 cent dollar, and that is the ut.
most Tillman would be able to give
them. But the fearful contraction of
the currency caused by a collapse of
standard money TO the so cent cheap sill
yer standard would create such hard
times that for years w~orkingmen would
get hardly more 50-cent dollars than
they get now 100-cent dollars. How
would that benefit them? Neither Alt
geld nor Tiliman has ever explained
this simple question. Chicago Tribute

Contributions Limited To 10 Cents For De-
troit's Mayor.
Mayor Pingree's friends have been
wondering where the money was to
come from to conduct his gubernatorial
campaign, and a bright newspaper man
suggested a popular subscription. The
suggestion took like fresh vaccine virus,
and a country correspondent was the
first n to respond with 20 cents in
stamps. The limit of all future contri-
buttons is fixed at 10 cents.
The first city hall man to contribute
was Policeman McGahan, who rendered
a 3 cent stamp. Other "stonehouse"
habitues were quick to follow this lead,
and pennies, nickels, dimes, 3 cent street
car tickets, stamps, etc, were poured"
into the hands Of the mayors secretary.
Mr.. Pingree bars strips from mileage
books, for he thinks them the invention
of railroad corporations to Cypress the
poor laboring man.
If this plan takes as we'll as his hon
or's admirers hope for, MI. Pingree's
potato patches will not be a marker to
the fame that will be brought to him
by this scheme. Chicago Times-Her-

TO MEMORY.
Monument TO BE Erected In the National
Capital.

Chpltals
Representative Evans of Kentucky,
who was commissioner Of internal rev.
enue during the Harrison administra-
ton, has undertaken the task of provid-
ing for the erection of q monument to
Abraham Lincoln at the national CAPT
tai. With this end in view he has in
troduced a bill constituting a commits.
sion to be known as the Lincoln monu.
ment commission, comprising the presi-
dent and vice president of the United
States, the speaker of che house of rep
resentatives and the secretaries Of state
and of the treasury.
This commission is to have power and
authority to cause to be erected at some
suitable place in that city ON ground
owned by the United States a monu-
ment that may appropriately express
the gratitude OF the nation for the IL
lustrious and patriotic services of Abra-
ham Lincoln.
An appropriation of $500, coo, or so
much as may be necessary, is to be set
aside for this purpose, to be expended
under the direction of the commission,
and for the improvement and prepara-
ton of a site for the proposed monu-
ment. Furthermore, it is provided that
the amount appropriated shall be avail
able at all times until the monument is
completed. Chicago Tribune.

California Must Remain a Gold State.

California was a gold state when it
was admitted and has remained a gold
state since. None Of its debtors has
anything to gain By a radical change OF
standard, not even the banks, which,
under a silver standard, would be able
to pay all depcsitors 90 cents on the dol
lar. The arrangement Of business and
temporary destruction of credit that
would result from such a change would
probably break most of the banks Ill

To open the t1oodgates and permit the
worlds volume Of silver to flow to our
minis TO be coined at l6 to | in the hone
and belief that the market value of sill.
yer would be thereby advanced to S.. %
an ounce seems TO me to be a dream so
e~Xtravagant as to be beyond the posi-
bility Of realization. If free coinage by
this country alone would not only ar
rest the decline of silver, but restore its
market value, why is it that such a re-.
suit has not been attained in the couu-
tries where free coinage is permitted?
The minis Of Japan, Mexico and several
Of the countries of South America-Pe-
ru, Bolivia and Equador-are today open
TO the free and unlimited coinage of
both gold and silver, yet in no single
instance a it be shown that the bull
lion value Of silver has been kept at a
parity with it's coinage value. More
than this, no nation on the globe today
has its mints open to the free and I'M
limited coinage Of both gold and silver
that is not confessedly on a silver basis
with gold at a premium. What reason
have we, therefore, as a nation to ex-
pect any different results if we should
venture on such an experiment? From
reason and experience l am forced to
the conclusion that to open u mints to
the free and unlimited coinage Of silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1 without the CO.
operation of the leading commercial ma
tions of Europe would quickly plunge
the nation to a silver basis and create
such a disturbance in our monetary sys-
TEN as to involve it's total destruction
