Ex-President Harrison Discusses Our
Monetary system.


Ever since the resumption OF specie
payments, in 1879, the treasury has paid
gold for green backs when gold was de-
manded, and has redeemed, in the same
way, the treasury notes issued under the
Sherman Law. The Secretary OF the
Treasury has never exercised the discre-
tion gwen him to redeem the latter
notes in. .silver-holding that his d!scre-
tion was limited to 7uch use Of silver
as would not destroy the parity OF the
gold and silver dollars. And our secre-
tsries have been right. think, in hold
ing that the parity OF our gold and sill
yer coins will be destroyed the moment
the government takes from the holder OF
a greenback or treasury note the election
of the coin he will receive in exchange
for it. Ii he wants gold, and silver is
thrust upon him, the latter is depreciat-
ed and the former appreciated. IL tn o
holder of United States note cannot
get gold at par for IL he will pay prem
iuin for the gold he must have to meet a
gold obligation. premium on gold
would at once drive gold out OF circula-
tion, for q coin that is at a premium cam
not be used in trade. No one is bound
to pay gold to the government for any
tax or other debt due to ii. So that
practically the situation is this: The
treasury holds itself bound to give gold
to every one presenting United States
note. and has no way OF compelling any
one to pay gold to it. Such gold as 1t
gets comes from persons who choose to
take paper money for gold deposited at
the pints or assay offices, or to pay in
gold coin some government tax. Form
erIy all duties upon imports were pay
able only in gold. Now when the gold
reserve gets low 1t can only be restored
by the sale of bonds, under the powers
given to the Secretary In the legislation
relating to the resumption of specie
payments. s.-Ex- President Harrison in

Steamer Captains Warned
to Observe Rules.
Farmers and Peddlers Cause
Great inconvenience.
A Scorching Bicyclist Who Was
Very Promptly Punished.

Harbor Master Mcguire has been giving
the captains of the steam craft that ply
in the river and bay notice that hereafter
they must strictly observe the rules reg
ulating the speed at which steamboats,
shall be run between Crawford street
bridge and Fox Point The fact is that
in the press OF summer business these
rules are apt to be forgotten, or, IL re-
membered, they are broken without much
compunctiop. The. captains as general
thing are competent and careful men,
fact that is signally shown by rarity OF
collision or other accidents, but they will
speed up their boats, particularly on the
downward trip. once they have passed
through the draw of the Point street
bridge. 1hsTe isn't any particular
danger from such practice, but the
swell made by propellors and paddle
wheels sets the vessels tied up TO the
wharyes bobbing up and down, threaten
ing a rupture of their bawsers ana chat
ing away paint work and gliding where
there happens TO be any. However, after
the recent notification from the harbor
master there Will probably oe no further
cause for com plaint on this score for the

Nor Is this the only complaint that

content with delaying street car travel,
thcy block up the cross walks with
their teams and barricade the sidewalks
with barrels, boxes and bags, compelling
the pedestrian 10 take to the roadway or

OF complaint recently about this matter,
