Scholars. To say that she has become
the island Of pugilis-S and policemen
to-day would be unjust, and TO say that
she has more influence I'm America than
in Ireland would be unkind. Surely
her modern history is most pathetic.
For three centuries the island was
harassed by the Danes and Mortimer;
but when the Marquis OF Queenesberry
rules were adopted. the latter threw up
the sponge. The finish fight occurred
a. Clontarf. near Dublin.
Henry had written permission from
the Pope 10 conquer Ireland years and
years before he cared 10 do il. Some
times it rained, and az other times he
did not feel like IL. so that his permits
sion got almost worn Ouc by carrying
Il about with him.
In 1172. however. an Irish chief. or
subordinate king, had trouble with his
kingdom-dOubtless because some rival
monarch stepped in &c and tracked it
around over the other kingdOms-and
so he called upon the Ang.O-NOrmaGS
under Strongbow Orchard de Ciarel,
whose declaration of Independence
was the first thing of the kind known 10
civilization. for help. While assisting
the Irish chief, S-rongbOw noticed a
royal wink on the features or Henry,
and acting upon il proceeded TO gather
in the other precincts Of Ireland Thus,
in HIP. the island was placed under the
rule of a viceroy sent there by Eng

Bimetallism is using both silver and
gold as money metals. Values mea-
sured in both metals are double what
they will be if measured in gold only
Biemtallism means that the supply of
money shall be exactly double what it
will be If only one metal is coinable.
Prior to 1873 our law assumed that if all
the silver was divided by 81 grains,
and all the gold by % grains, then the
number of silver dollars and gold dol
lars would be exactly equal. The theo-
~ was to coin both metals into the
same number of dollars. Everybody
admits that this theory ensures dollars
of equal value.
The purpose of the act of 1873 was to
demonetize silver and thereby limit the
supply Of redemption money TO the
amount obtained 10y dividing gold by
% grains. The object of the act of 1873
was to limit the supply of money to
half what it would be if 10th metals
continued coinable Very few persons
at that time comprehended that the
purpose was to reduce all values except
debts. Hence the act is oaLed mid
night crime.
Bimetallic Circulation is one thing.
Bimetallism is different thing.
Mr.. Whitney's recent interview, fol-
lowing the debates in Congress in 1887
and 1873 is based on the erroneous
idea that bimetallism does not exist un-
less both metals are circulating side by
side. This is total misrepresentation
of the question before the Country. BIZ
metallism exists when values are mea-
sured by both metals, and they are mea-
sured by both, so long as both are con-
vertible into money at their CONNER
cial ratio. We did not have bimetallic
circulation in 1860, but We did have BIZ
metallism. We had bimetallism be-
cause values were more than measured
by both gold and silver. Silver, being
underyalued was not coined, but 1t was
coinable and consequently values were
double what they would have been II
only gold had been a money metal.
Bimetallism is the policy OF coming
both metals at such a ratio that the unit
of value may be expressed in either
The analysis is this: 81 grains OF sIlvlr
was the unit of values; gold was TO be
coined at whatever ratio would make
the gold coin equal in value to S1l
grains of silver. The unit never
changes; gold coin was to be recoined
and made lighter or heavier whenever
the commercial value rose above, or fell
below the coinage rate.
Bfmetalnc circulation exists only
when the coinage ratio is exactly the
same as the commercial ratio. The un-
dervalued metal will be boarded, but,
although boarded, it continues to mea-
sure values. Neither metal will ever
he boarded if the government stands
ready to change the coinage ratio.
Heretofore the question was, how 10
maintain bimetallic circulation; the
question now is, shall we abandon bl-
metalligm? Shall all property, except
debts. be reduced half?

The meeting of the anthracite coal
sales agents to fix the price and output
of anthracite for the month of March.
which was to have been held in New
York on Friday, did not materializc,
having been called off by telegraph on
Wednesday morning, Explanations as to
the sudden calling off of the meeting
were anything but satisfactory on the
part of the officials. A decp-seated fear
concerning the effort of the New York
legislature to investigate the methods OF
the anthracite combine is supposed to
be the real reason why the meeting was
not held.
1t is understood. however, that a tacit
understanding exists among the repre-
sentatiyes of the coal companies that
the prices for the month of March will
not be changed, and that the production
will be limited to 2,75O,0 900 tons, and
possibly to .. 500. 600.

Civilization Like Huckleberry Pie.

A facetious writer in recent number
Of the Commonwealth likened civilization
to huckleberry pie, having an upper
and lower crust. The extremely
wealthy and those who consume and
own much more than they produce CON
stitute the upper crust; the very poor
and those of small means who consume
and own much less than they produce
make up the thicker and unenviable
lower crust, while those of moderate
means who enjoy the full product of
their own labor, whether of Drawn or
brain, are the redeeming portion of the
pie.
The relations of the crusts and buckle
berries vary according to the munici.
pality or nation considered In Mexico
we lind that the pie has much crust and
few berries. The middle class has al
most disappeard.
If we consider New York city as the
pie, the 6 per cent who own the entire
area of the city, as shown by the last
census, are the honored upper crust,
while the large part of the remaining "a
per cent are expected to produce the
surplus upon which our Caesars feed.

b. O. Flower, in his article on ''Practi-
cal Measures to Maintain Self Respecting
Manhood, which appears elsewhere in
this issue, refers to the fact that Mayor
Pingree met with strong opposition
when he essayed to help the poor of
Detroit in practical way. This opposi-
tion showed itself, not in argument, but
in ridicule. If this We're solitary in
stance, the matter would not be so seri-
ous. but wherever serious attempt is
made in behalf of the poor the same kind
of opposition, manifested in the same
way, is always met. This is quite unfor-
tunate.
The spirit that ridiculcs any serious
effort to do good is not the spirit that
solves difficulties. but is the one that him
ders their solution. History is full of
lessons of rebuke to such spirit.
Ali of our cherished institutions were
once hypotheses and existed only in the
brains of few people who had insight
and the courage of their convictions.
Freedom, Democracy, RepubIicAnism
were once hated words and are even now
in many countries. All governments is eX-
perimental, and we ought to treat all
efforts to improve any phase of our socic-
ty with at least decent respect" The
foundation of all liberty and the condi-
tion of all progress is in the right of
every man to think for himself and to
express his thougts without intimidation.
Ridicule is antiliberal and un-Ameri-
can. Earnest discussion and experiment
are the only methods of ridding us of un-
profitable hypothesis. Another impor-
tant suggestion from Mr.. Flowers very
suggestive article is that our financial
! difficulties may be in Il large measure
solved without legislation. Each com
munity, independent in measure OF
legislature, can do more than is now
being done to solve the problem OF
poverty.

*From report of committee rendered to the
common council of Detroit Nov. 20, 1895.
Thus, we see, as a result of the second
years experiment, with an appropria-
tion of $4,000, crops have been raised
and successfully harvested by persons
who would otherwise have been depend
ent upon public charity amounting
from about $27, 792 to $50, 900, or "a
profit of between $50, 900 and $25, 900
over and above expenses, while, as has
been observed, the financial aspect is in
reality the least important,
The committee i'll their report OBJ
serve that ono difficulty was expert
enced in getting people to take lots, and
it was even necessary for want of sufli-
cient land to refuse some who applied.
1t is an error to suppose that because
people are poor and needy they refuse
to help themselves where an opportunity
offers. From the experience Of the COM
mittee such is seldom the case. "
Another favorable result is found in
the fact that several of those who have
successfully titled the various lots have
now secured small farms for market
gardening and are commencing life anew
with renewed hope.
Other cities have followed the Detroit
plan, but space prevents me noticing
any, save that conducted in New York
during the past year i'll limited way by
the Society For the Improvement of the
Condition Of the Poor The society Sc
cured 800 acres of vacant lots in Long
Island City, employed competent gar.
deners to instruct the 80 families which
the funds of the society We're enabled to
accommodate, and as a result the follow
ing crop was harvested, according to the
figures given in the New York World,
from authentic sources:
Potatoes, bushels G,235 Cubbages, heads. o ,g27
Beans, bushels. LEO Tomatoes, crates. $50
Peas bushels.... Sl7 Corn, cars ........1 200
Turnips, bushels. $50 Carrots, bushels. 40
The value of the crop in dollars and
cents was $4, 600 more than the outlay,
but here again the benefits to the indi-
vidual and the state were far greater
than any mere dollar and cent computa-
ton. One family alone cleared over
$400 on the tract allotted them and
now propose to farm independently next
year. When the season opened, the fam
lily We're $500 in debt and nothing to
hope for before Them when the crops
were harvested, they had 5000 in the
bank. This case illustrates fact of
great Importance for social reformers, as
does this important and practical palli-
ative means to maintain and sustain self
respecting manhood. b. o. FLOWER.
