Ia divided on the policy to be pursued In

GEN. MERRITT's MISSION.
Believed That Cleveland WIN Send HE
to Cuba.


Chicago, March IA local paper
says: The report that General Wesley
Merritt. commander of the Department
of the Missouri, has been summoned 10
Washington for conference with the
president and his advisers on a secret
mission Of Importance is believed by
army men In this city, to be true. At
army headquarters, 1t is said that Pres
ident Cleveland contemplates sending a
military commission to Cuba to examine
into the condition of affairs on the island
and 1t Is surmlsed that General Merritt
i. -.<, b.-. .intrusteu Win the leadersnlp OF
the commission. No member of General
Merrittis staff, however, is willing to be
quoted in the matter as the secrecy that
is being observed at Washington enjoins
silence.
The president, 1t Is said, favors the
idea of a commission to Cuba to report
on the condition OF affairs there. He
took this course when there was Ques-
tton Of the true status of affairs in Ha-
wall by sending Commissioner Blount
to that island, and he recently obtained
the appointment Of the Venezuelan
Boundary commission. That the prest-
dent believes in the wisdom Of the COM
missions is further shown by the fact
that he favored the appointment Of CON-
missioners to an international bimetallic
ton.

Sherman and John Cleveland, is a most

patriotism, the wisdom, and the fore
sight Of John Tyler and Andrew Jack
son.
Sec 25 Of chapter $40 Of the Statutes
at large of the SO d Congress. 24d ses-
sion, page 552 reads as follows: That
the value of foreigC coins as expressed
in the Money of Account of the United
States shall be that of the pure metal
of such coin Of standard value; and the
values of the standard Gin in circula-
ton of the various nations Of the world
shall be estimated quarterly by the
Director Of the Mint, e., &.
The Mexican silver dollar as esti-
mated or the Director Of the United
States Mint contains C377 IL three hun
dred and seventy-seven and seventeen
huodredbhs grains Of pure silver and
(4l9 08) four hundred and nineteen
and eight hundredtbs grains of stand
ard silver, which is more of bath pure
silver, and more Of standard silver
than cur legal tender s andard Dbl
lar" contains. Then why should not
the Mexican silver dollar circulate
among our people as legal tender, debt
paying money, as it did in my boyhood
days! The japanese Silver Yen" con-
taina (374 4) three hundred and sew
enty-four and forty hundr5dtns Of

sixteen grains Of standard silver, and
therefore, the Japane8e Yen contains
more silver than cur W Standard
Dollar" which has il it only 4I2D
four hundred anu twelve aud one half
grains Of standard silver. Is there any
good reason why the japanese "Yen''
should not circulate among our people
as money? We have driven out of tho
United States the NJ xic8n silver d l.
lars, and sent them back home 10 Mex
leo aud thereby given Mexico On i'm

responding depression IN business. And
Congress refuses to admit the Japanese
Yen" to money circulation. We
give to foreign silver using countries
the advantages Of the difference in ex.
changes in Jul trade relations, and
then go to work to ~impoverish the
masses of u W people to enrich the
favored classes by building up by pro
tective tariff legislation a Tariff WalI'
against foreign importation of manu-
featured goods. If this wise legisla-
ton? Or it oTHERwIsE3 II makes us
