WAs-FoR SILVER IN 1873.

The following extracts from editOri-
us in the Chicago Tribune Of 1873 are
directly at variance with that papers
present gold standard utterances:
The folly of advocating the single
gold standard Of money must be obvi-
Gus to every one not blind as bat in
the daylight.-Chicag Tribune, Jan. 5,
1873.
1t is mere naked, unsupported, IRA
tional, impudent assertion that remon-
citation of silver will not reduce the
difference in value between it and gold.
Chicago Tribune, Feb. 6, 1878.
a dollars worth of silver is 1922
grains standard with alloy or 37114 of
pure silver. This standard weight was
adopted by Congress in 1892 and has
never been changed; 371A grains Of
pure silver constitutes exactly dollars
worth of silver.-Chicago Tribune, Jan.
II, 1873.
Persons Of the greatest experience IN
Toonetary matters unite in calling for
az international congress to regulate
the standards If that is not feasible,
silver should be made a standard with
a concurrent coinage Of gold.-Chicago
Tribune, Jan. q, 1873.
Stability in money values does not
mean the power to resist depreciation
clone, but appreciation as WELL OF the
two, permanent and eternal apprecia-
ton of money value is vastly more in
furious than tendency to depreciation.
Chicago Tribune, Jan. 1G, 1878.
The old silver dollar Of 41215 grains
fills the bill exactly. So long as it was
a legal tender it was an honest dollar,

wouIdn't Take sheridan's Word.

Some years ago, while visiting the
Spokanes, Gen. Philip Sheridan related
to the Indians, through an interpreter.
the wonders of the railroad, and then
waited TO see what effect the revelation
would have upon them. ''What do they
say?' he asked the interpreter. 'They
say they don't believe it" was the an
swer Sheridan then described the
steamboat. and the interpreter repeated
this. "What do they say to that? the
general asked again, seeing the Indian
faces all impassive '"They say they
don't believe that. either Then the
general gave an account of the telephone,
and told how man at the end of a long
wire had talked to man at the other
end Of it. The interpreter remained
silent 'Well,'' said the general, why
don't you interpret that to them?' BE
cause | don't believe that story myself, :
answered the conscientious man.

No Gold Dollars of the Daddies.


This leads up to another matter, and
that is the assertion made almost daily
that the United States has had the gold
standard since 1884. 1t can readily
be shown that the gold dollar was
adopted as the unit Of value IN 1873,
and that up to that time the silver dol
lar was the unit Of value, although the
coinage Of gold dollars was begun in
1849. The act Of April ?, 1892, estab-
fishing the mint and regulating the
coins Of the United States, reads as
follows: "Section o. And be it further
enacted, That there shall be from time
to time struck and coined at the said
mint, coins of gold, silver and copper
of the following denominations, de-
striptions and values, viz: Eagles, each
to be of the value Of ten dollars OF
units,' etc. Since no provision was
made for the coinage of gold dollars,
it is clear that silver dollars were
meant.-Topeka Journal.

The Expanding Unit.

The unit Of value, whether it be the
Mound, the. dollar, the franc, bushel
Of wheat, or pound of tobacco may
lie made dishoest money unit, as cas-
lily on account, of an increased value,
rs on account of a decreased value; and
the first of these cases is always by far
lie worst, as Roscher, the German
economist, explains. What Is an Hon
est Dollar?" Lee & Shepard.

The West side city council is an
econ omical one. When Bob Miller
asked for the job of sprinkling the

Jumped to their feet and said yes,
and Bob felt good all over; but his
good feelings we're soon knocked
higher than the stand pipe, for the
council, in chorus, added: PRO
vided the sprinkling does not cost
the city a red cent" Bob will no
doubt drive down to Deutschman' S
canal, load up his wagon and
sprinkle the street in front of those
stirgy aldermen's doors every hour,
for the beautiful franchise they
voted him. We think the council
should at least stand in between
Bob and the Water Company for
water used. 1t may be that when
new set of aldermen, with a new
Mayor, get into the hail more lib
eral use will be made of some of the
tax money. The streets should be
sprinkled during the hot months, il
nothing else is done. The East side
has always kept Broad street
sprinkled and has taken the dust
from West Broad street during the
prevalence of the west winds, and
now that the Texas side has FIRE
team and a chance to sprinkle at a
small additional cost, we think the
council should vote some aid and
help make up the balance among
the business men on Broad street.

crop and none in the manufacture
of whiskey. Whiskey can be bought
in that state for 8 cents a gallon,
the purchaser paying the tax which
is over dollar on the gallon. The
banks have advanced money to both
the tobacco raisers and whlskey
men and they find the loans hard to
get in. Aside from this the state
is in the hands of the Republicans
and it seems that nothing is lett
them but the bluegrass" and fine

cal parties, with dozens of live and
healthy feuds in deterrent parts of
the state.

MONEY! FOR THE VIEW BRIDGE.

1t is satisfaction to learn that such good
progress is being made in the preparations for
erecting the new bridge across the East River.
4 short time ago a detailed and presumably
accurate estimate was made by Mr. Buck the
chief engineer. of the cost of the structure
which is to be built between this city and
old williamsburg The estimate does not ap-
pear excessive. The most gratifying feature
of Mr. Bucks repor, is his positive statement
that the bridge can be constructed within
n reasonable time provided the money Is prompt
" forthcoming. 1t Is thirteen years since the
present bridge was completed. and 1t was four
teen or fifteen years in building. The undertake
ing was in the nature Of IN experiment, and was
accordingly. regarded with doubt by some. while
politics had part in delaying its completion
No such consideration should be allowed to in
terfere with the present work. There is great
need Of another bridge across the East River
and of more than one. The preliminary work
on the Williamsburg Bridge is now well in hand
and the specifications for the stone work of the
towers have been completed Bids for the
construction of the tower on this side OF the
river will be received by the Commission up to
October Z. If nothing untoward happens. the
structure can be built and ready for use. Chief
Engineer Buck declares. by January |. 1900
That Is a pleasing prospect, assuredly. and
without doubt the Bridge Commissioners will do
