The Forum: In the present stnte OF
things. after the experience gained. BIZ
mctallism would b. nothing but falsln-
cation of money. There are several ways
OF doing that. The old way, now out Of
fashion, was that or the kings OF the
middle ages. notably OF PHILIPPE IL Bel.
1t consisted In reducing the weight and
keeping the nominal value OF the coin
cOarsc attempt at the daily cheating of
the people, who soon saw the fraud and
revnhed with curses against the King.
1t was not without justice that Duntc
made u place for these In his Inferno.
The world OF to-day witnesses other
ways. more refined, more subtle IN APP
psarancc. but not less shameless and
pcrnicious. The most widely adopted,
as In most Of the South American coun-
tries and In Il number Of those OF south
crn Europe, consists in replacing metal
lie MONEY by notes which the state issues
or causes TO be issued for arbitrary
amounts. That Is classifying money
there Is only difference OF method be-
tween II and that OF the middle ages
The crHi.t or the state adopting 1t Is in
Jured md It's public funds Gre deprCciat-

engagements 1t makes: no long contracts
can be made with It's people; or at best,

must he taken, which render operations
very risky.
iimctallism In the present state OF
things would be another way of falslfy-
lag money, and would have the same
sort Of consequences. Il IL proved that
silver has lost a. per cent of its former
value. Silver has been quoted In Eng
land for the past three years at from 20
to 33d, instead Of GO.SOd which represent
ed the ratio of l5Mto formerly adopted
in Europe by the Latin Union. 4 mass
OF silver bullion, equivalent to 100000
GOO to St2OO0O,0C0 market value. has
poured out every year since 1891 at this
price Of sod 10 33d, and the production OF
silver does not lcsscn--proOf sufficient

NOVA SCOTIA COAL
Crowlins West Virginia Coal Outflow
the Wilson BlII Works.

Baltimore American: What is the re-
suit? The worst fears are being realized.
The Nova Scotia mines are worked in
the cheapest kind OF way. We have be-
fore us a letter 10 McssrS. Gray. Irelan
e Co. ship brokers OF this city, from
one OF the largest firms in Boston. ask
Ing for more vessels 10 carry Goals from
LOuiSburgh, the seaport OF the Nova
Scotia mines. TO New England ports.
This Boston firm has chartered the
largest American schooner ailoat for
six or more trips. and about twenty
other vessels. all OF which are filling
New England with Nova Scotia coal.
Offer US whatever vessels you have
large or small" say the Boston men,
and they add: The vessels We have
chartered are making round trips any
where from ten TO fifteen days"
The meaning OF all this Is only too
plain. Unless something Is done, the
soft coal trade Is lost TO Baltimore and
Western Maryland and West Virginia
will suffer the consequences along with
our coaSt-wisc trade. The true remedy
Is n protective duty on coal that Will
really protect. 1t should be among the
first things done by the new Congress.
In the meanwhile we must suffer tie
consequences OF the Wilson bill.
