NOTES ON SILVER
BY ABBOT KINNEY

The brainy men in the silver movement
like Senator Stephen M. White, ex-Gov.
Boies, ETC., dwell up on the right they
claim for the government to pay its debt
in dollars of 371A ounces fine silver.
This is a strong position. The claim is
that the federal public debt was, by a
specific contract, agreed to be paid in
coin of the United States and that the
coin of the United States was at the
time of the contract officially defined in
the laws of the United States. The sill
yer dollar of 371A grains of fine silver
was then officially part of the coin of the
United States. The claim is that this
contract gave the government the op-
ton to pay in any of the legal coin of the
United States. If this Is admitted, then
Daniel Manning is the only secretary OF
the treasury who has even Appropriated
in using the option of payment in either
precious metal for the public benefit
The only other position of any force
for the free coinage of silver men is that
the demonetization of silver by Ger
many, then by Scandinavia, France, etc,
has diminished the standing and de-
mand for silver; that the closing of the
mints of India to silver coinage has add
ed to this effect while the larger use of
gold, in the ordinary exchange and es-
pecially in payments and taxes to these
governments, has increased the demand
and value of gold. The resumption of
specie payments by the United States
upon a gold basis, it is claimed by rea-

dent of the society Francis e. Clark.
who, as minister of the Williston church,
at Portland, Me-, founded the first
Christian Endeavor society among the
young people of his congregation, on
February 2, 1881. That was only trifie
more than fifteen years ago, yet today
the society is known in every land on
the globe and has total membership
OF 100000, made up of 10000 societies.
THE PLEDGE
At the first meeting in the modest par
lor In the Portland minister's home the
young folks who agreed to form the
Christian Endeavor society took this
pledge: Trusting in the Lord Jesus
Christ for strength. I promise Him that
Will strive to do whatever He would
like to have me do; that / will make it
the rule of my life to pray AMI read the
Bible every day, and to support my own
church in every way, especially by at
tending all her regular Sunday and mid
week services, unless prevented by some
reasons which can conscientiously give
to my Savior, and that just so far as
know how throughout my whole life
VIII endeavor to lead a Christian life.
AS an active member I promise to be
true to all my duties. to be present at and
to take some part. aside from singing.
In every Christian Endeavor prayer
meeting, unless hindered by some reason
which 1 can conscientiously give to my
Lord and Master. If obliged to be alb
sent from the monthly conservation
| meeting of the society, will, il possible,
send at least verse of scripturej to be
| read in response to my name at roll
call"
Thursday morning services will be
held in each Of the tents, and In the af-
ternoon there will be denominational rail-
lies in the various churches. John Wana-
maker Postmaster General Wilson and
President Clark will be the presiding
! officers in the three tents Thursday

Utley to deny that he is in reality OPP
posed to both metals as money. So are
large and active element now advocat-
ing silver Most of the silver men who
are not really greenbackers, frankly
confess that they expect to exchange
gold monometallism for silver monomet-
allism. Harvey of Coins Financial
School proposes to recoin gold as the
commercial ratio of the metals may de-
mand." This, of course, means that the
dollar of his bimetallism would be in sill
yer what 1t is now in gold, about half
what it now is. The most Objectionable
part of the financial agitation is the Sec
tional feeling developed and the con-
slant fomenting of class antagonisms by
politicians. We had one pretty good
dose of sectionalism in our four years
civil war; That bloody piece of business
shows what politicians can do by stir
ring section against section and class
against class. The United States has
the unenviable distinction of being the
only country in the worlds history to
abolish slavery by war, and a cruel war
abolish slavery by a war, and a cruel
civil war at that.
AS for classes, we have no classes. 1t
Is true, however, that there are a num-
Der of very rich persons in control of va
rious corporations. To these have been
delegated certain public powers such a $
been recognized by law and policy for
ages as demanding public regulation
Such a business is transportation. Bv
the violation of law and justice, and by
special rates or rebates these companies
have made or destroyed men and places.
They have fostered or created gigantic
monopolies. The Standard Oil monopoly
grew out of railroad rebates and exists
solely by reason of them. The tariff
monopolies are big enough, but they are
not to be compared in future danger to
the country to those created by the un-
restricted use of special transportation
rates. But this is another story.
The financial system of the United
States needs overhauling and reform
ing This is admitted by pretty much
everybody at all familiar with it.
Suppose we say for the sake of argyll
ment, that the free coinage of silver at
16 to prevails and that the commercial
ratio of the two metals remains about
where it is, and silver takes the place of
gold, what sort of basis of financial Or
ganization would be best?
1t has been suggested that good sys-
tenn would be to establish gold stand
ard as near the value of the silver dollar
as possible, and upon that standard issue
self-limiting credit currency with sill
Yer up to $40.
Judge Gordon outlined some such
plan IN The Herald few days ago. 1t
provided for notes and bonds al very low
rates of interest. interconvertible as
commerce and enterprise might demand
Such financial scheme properly
planned out, could be made elastic, ade-
quate and self-limiting. This last char
acteristic would obviate the danger of
final over-issue, which has so generally
proved the death of credit currencies.
The small interest on the bond would
Immediately induce the conversion of
surplus, and consequently Improbable,
notes, into bonds, while increased bust
ness and returns to enterprises making
