British Silver.

Edward Atkinson calls attention to
a fact apparently overlooked by Mr..
Bryan in his denunciation Of British
gold"-that British owners now hold a
large part Of the silver stocks Of this
country and nearly all the productive
silver mines Of the world elsewhere.
Mr.. Atkinson quotes the report Of one
British mining company which has paid
It's shareholders in the past eight years
over $4o,ooO,0Oo profits on capital OF
less than s2,ooo,ooo, in spite Of the pre-
yailing low price Of silver. Such a
company could afford to pay handsome
ly to have It's profits further increased.
But Of course there are no contributions

Every cheap money experiment ever
tried In this or any other country has
demonstrated that,while prices respond
quickly to changes in the value Of
money, wages respond but slowly,
Hence. though wages appear TO rise
when currency is deprclating, they are
in reality falling. The difference In
rapidity with which wages and prices
go up has been illustrated by prices
going up in elevators, while wages walk
Up the stair steps. II Is certain that
wage-earners always lose and never
gain by being paid in deprecated o,
depreciating currency.

TREASURY RECEIPTS.


An Extra Session Of Congress May BE Nec'
esssry to Adjust Matters.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-The feeling at
the treasury duriny the closing weeks
Of the political campaign is one of con-
fidence. The gold reserve still stands
S22, 900, 900 above the conventional limit
named in the law Of 1882, and there
ere no indications Of any serious raid
for the purpose Of boarding.
The treasury Is still running behind
1t an appalling rate in It's current re-
ceipts, and II is believed BY many that
this will require an extra session Of
congress, in spite Of the restoration Of
the gold reserve. Supporters Of the
administration declare the existing sit
ustion confirms the argument they
made several weeks ago that the deficit
is not responsible for the export of
gold, and that redundant revenue
would affect the gold supply only in.
directly The past month or more has
shown q deficit growing at a more
rapid rate than in 1895, while the gold
reserve has climbed steadily upward,
until arrested at its present point by
the disposition Of the banks to retain
their gold until after the election.
