Cause of Free Silver Craze.

The causes of the free silver craze are
thought by the Baltimore Sun to be
"the same which caused the greenback
heresy to find advocates in so many
states of the Union 20 years ago-the
feeling Of unrest ard desire for a
change, 10 matter what, produced by
hard times, bad business and lack of
employment-the desire, conscious or
unconscious of debtors to scale their
debts by paying them in a deprecated
currency-the vague idea that more
money III circulation means more
money in each individually pocket, with
out reference to his means or opportunity
to earn or acquire it.

Among the latest inventions is fish
hook made with fly back or spring
The hook is in two parts, like the jaws
of steel trap, one raising back almost
to perpendicular, the other hanging in
the usual fashion. When the fish gives
little pull at the bait, the hook which
rests against the line comes down like
flash, striking the fish on the nose and
burying itself in the creatures head
The mechanism of this hook is extreme
ly simple, and it is claimed that even a
very slight nibble will spring the hook
and capture the game. This is good
hook for amateurs. but genuine sports
men consider it very much on the prin-
ciple of betting on a sure thing. and
value it accordingly. - New YORK

Another English Commitment.

Noting the rumor that the empress of
Russia may try to have decree issued
by the car forbidding smoking by
women, The Sketch says: However
much the czarina may dislike the habit
in members of her sex, and however de-
termined she may be not to have those
who practice it about her person, she
lay be trusted, as the daughter of our
own lamented Princess Alice, to have
too much respect for the liberty of the
subject to make herself responsible for
any such despotic and i'll advised ordi-
nance. Such interference with personal
liberty would be resented-and not I'M
naturally so-even in Russia In fact,
there is only one civilized Countrywide
United States of America-where this
kind of legislation is regarded as a mat
ter of course. "

Some Safe Bets.

"Silver is now worth about 50 cents
an ounce. The silver bullion in dol
lar is worth about % cents. Free silver
coinage would raise the price of silver
to 1879 cents an ounce, and the silver in
an American dollar would be worth 81
in gold the world over even without a
government stamp on it. "-Ex-Con-
gresham r. P. Bland in New York
World of July 1, 1896.
If you have a neighbor who thinks
Bland is great statesman, and who is
willing to back his opinion with money,
and who would have anything to lose
after going through the free coinage
cyclone, here are some of the perfectly
safe bets you can make him:
First. THAT free coinage would not
IN one yeaEufaise the priee Of silver t.
81 per ounce. you CAN bet on any
number of years, but would have to
wait longer before the bet could be set
tled.)
Second. That the price of silver will
be lower one year after than one year
before the passage of free coinage act.
Third. THAT the price Of silver will
be less than 80 cents per ounce when a
free coinage act has been in effect six
months or one year.
Fourth. THAT at no time within one
year after free coinage at 16 to has
become law will an American silver
dollar be worth as much as rs per cent
of the value of an American gold dollar.
If you cannot get even bets, give odds.
The price of silver is determined
mainly by the cost of production. All
the silver the world can use can be pro-
duced at less than rs and probably less
than 20 cents per ounce. No legislation
can raise, except for short time, the
price of silver 1t is to be hoped that we
will never be forced to make this fool
ish free coinage experiment, but if we
do we should, if we can fiId takers, re-
coup some of our certain losses by bet
ting on the inevitable.

Savings Banks Depositors, Awakei

"All the great savings bank states,
with the exception of California. voted
for the gold plank at St Louis. ;" says
the Boston Transcript ''It is safe to
say that the vote for the gold plank
stood for fully seven-eighths of the total
deposits, and perhaps more" These de-
posits, amounting to more than 81, 700, =
600, 900, are the rainy day savings, as
The Transcript says, of the ''toiling
millions" about whom the silverites are
so greatly concerned. The Transcript
adds: Reckoning their dependents,
these depositors stand for very consid-
cradle proportion of the entire popula-
ton of the United States. If free COIN
age triumphs, these deposits will virtu-
ally be cut in halves.

Free Coinage Plainly Stated.

It is important to remember that
free coinage means the right of every
owner of bullion TO present the same TO
the minis of the United States and have
1t coined without charge into money.
Under the free coinage Of silver, the
owner of 3174 grains Of pure silver
would be permitted to turn it over to
the United States mint and have it
coined without charge or receive there
for ono silver dollar. More than this,
under free and unlimited coinage, this
right would be extended to the whole
world, and the amount of silver coinage
would be limited only by the capacity
of our minis and the output of the silver
mines
If have made myself understood as
to the meaning of free coinage and
''the ratio, " we are now prepared to dis
cuss understandingly the feasibility of
opening the minis of the United States
to the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer by this country alone at the ratio of
16 to /. For myself, after the most ma
ture deliberation, have been unable to
reach any other conclusion than that
such step would be attended with the
most serious consequences to the country
and involve all our people in common
disaster.
In the first place, the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at 16 to 1 would
in my judgment expel from our circula-
ton not only our entire volume of gold,
but every dollar of paper money redeem
able in gold and cause a contraction of
the currency and a resultant panic the
like Of which has not been seen in this
generation. ]. @. Burrows.

Why Gold Is Exported.

A single white metal standard paper
says that gold is going out every week,
and that but for silver the country soon
