A Wrong Assumption.

In discussing the financial and cur
rency question all the advocates of the
gold standard assume that the United
States must have monetary system
in accord with that of EnglaLd. This,
as the National Bimetallist says, is a
confounding Of all distinctions. Our
interests are directly the reverse of
those of England. She is the greatest
creditor nation IN the world We are
the greatest debtor. If dollars" can
be doubled in value Il. e., purchasing
power she collects twice as much. If
dollars" be doubled in value, we pay
twice as much. That is the difference
in a nut shell. Eogland is creditor
to the extent of $40, 900, 900, 900. We
are a debtor to the extent Of S6, 0G0,-
900, COO. This is about the amount of
our foreign debt. Bat the reader
last not infer that foreigners have
sent $4,000, 100000 over here aud in
vested it. Not at all. As shown by
General Warner in his Monograph on
our debt abroad, published in No. 8.
of the National Bimetallist, in 1869
our total foreign debt amounted to on
lv 5000, 100000. Since then we have
exported $606, 921, 72O more gold and
silver than we have imported, and
81, 749 1895, ,231 more merchandise than
we have imported. This makes total
balance in our favor of $2,356, 600, 600.
And yet our foreign debt has risen
from about $1,000, 900, 900 to $6,000,-
100000 How has this startling con-
dition arisen2 Simply by the rein.
vestment of profits. The foreign cred
itor has drawn out such SUNS as he
needed while the remainder has been
reinvested. OF course each reinvest-
ment means an additional burden of
interest, which the American producer
must annually pay to the foreign
creditor Thus in great measure the
tremendous productive capacity of the
United States has been used to increase
cur debt, and add to the tribute we
must annually pay to Europe. large
portion of which goes to England.
The more profitable these reinvest-
ments, the greater the debt becomes.
But when the reiovestments cease to
Ue pFOuldole, Luey CEASE W oo maoe,
and the European creditor takes
larger and larger proportion of his
American income abroad Then away
goes our gold, as fast as ocean grey
hounds can carry it." Oae more fact
of the momentous significance. To
pay our present foreign debt of Sc, ,000,-
900, 900 on gold basis, would take as
in 1869 or 1873 would have paid a debt
of sl2, 900, 900, ,000-the prices having
fallen one half. So that without hav-
ing received an additional dollar from
abroad, and after having exported
s2,356, 1000, 900 more of gold, silver and
merchandise than we have imported,
our foreign debt has in effect increased
from 81, 200, 900, 900 to just about ten
times that sum. And yet we are Sc
riously told that we must be IN accord
with the financial policy of England,
and continue to pay our debts at the
rate of two dollars for one, in order TO
be honest. ."-Times and Democrat.

Let us Suppose a Case

The monometallists high and low
treat free silver coinage as if it were
new thing never heard of before, rad
ical scheme to disturb values, mpair
contracts and repudiate one-half Of all
honest debts, a semianarchical attack
on the rich, cunning proposition to
rob creditors for the purpose of reliev-
ing debtors. The answer to this is that
the free silver coinage cause is not to
make new and cheap metal money,
but to restore an old one. 1t is not
proposition to defraud the creditor, but
one to protect the debtor from being
defrauded. It is not a scheme to in
troduce something hitherto unknown
and untried, but to 60 back to some
thing well known and tried which was
surreptitiously taken from the people
twenty-five years ago. Free silver
coinage was right of the people from
the beginning OF the government
down to 1873, when it was taken from
them by measure as revolutionary,
radical aud condscatory as it was Gun
ming, and the demand of the people
now is nothing more than that this
unjust measure be repealed and the
subject of coinage put back where it
was in 1873. Suppose says the SE
Louis Post Dispatch, the act of 1873
suspending the free coinage of silver
had never been passed. Would the
country be worse off than it is now2
There is not a reputable banker or e.
nancier in the land whose opinion is
worth listening to VIII, will assert il.
So far from it, the country would be
immeasurably better off taan it is t',-
day. Silver, instead of haviuga mar
ket value of 81 cents an ouoc-. would
be worth $l29 an ounce; the mines of
the mountain states would be the CEN
tre OF thriving industries; the popula-
tions of those states would be thrice as
great as they are this day; wheat,
corn, cattle, hogs, horses, wool and
cotton would be a third to half
higher in price; farms would be worth
twice as much; farmers would be
prosperous, and their larger capacity
for consumption would make mining
and manufacturing more productive.
The country would be full of money
not inflated" and cheap" money
but first rate ultimate money, redemp-
ton money, United States money,
gold and silver coin, with the option TO
the debtor Of using either or both in
the discharge of his obligations. The
higher price of all products of labor
for the period of twenty years would
have discharged the national debt, the
state debts and all county, municipal
and district debt, the government
would be spared the humiliation it is
subjected to at the hands of the money
lenders, and instead of needing 70 Dor.
row 500, 600, 900 it would be consider
ing how to get rid of a surplus of half
that amount.-Times and Democrat.

skeletons of Living Bodies.

HARTFORD, Conn, Feb. 12.-Skele-
tons of living bodies were photographed
last night in the Jarvis physical labor
atory at Trinity college by Prof Will
liam Lispenard Robb of the faculty and
Dr.. Arthur J. Wolff, the microscopic.
An interesting thing in these expe-
riments was the apparent discovery of
'halation," which in this instance i'm
plies the reflection of the ''X'' rays, a
thing which has been denied. It may
at least be said that no sufficient evil
dence in favor OF it has been adduced.
Halation, in the sense here meant, is
the effect Of rays reflected from the
back of the plate. 1t shows itself by
producing a second image a little aside
from the principal image. Such dupli-
cations are found in these plates. They
are faint, but unnistakalble, and the
eXperimenters believe that the only ex-
PLANTATION to be offered is that the 'eX''
rays are reflected as the light rays in
an ordinary negative under proper con-
ditions.
Prof. Robb does not think the brain
can be photographed by this process.
The skull, he said, is exceedingly opaque
and the brain itself comparatively
translucent, so that, if it were possible
to send the rays through the skull, it
would hardly be probable that they
would give the outline of the gray
matter beneath.
