Free Coinage Catechism.
New York Post. }


@. We're the bond issues to buy gold.
when the Treasury reserve fell too low,
originated By the present administration
A. They were required by law.
@. BY what lawP A. By the resump-
ton law of January IA, 1875. which in
strncted the Secretary of the Treasury
that, in order to provide for the redemp-
ton of the paper money notes. be might
issue, sell. and dispose of such govern.
ment bonds as should be necessary.
@. Does SO old q law still applyp A.
Its application WAS permanent. AS 1e-
Gently as 1899 the question was referred
to the Judiciary committee of the House
Of Representatives. Neal ly half the COM
nittee were free-coinage men, but the
committee was unanimous in declaring
the bond issue law still in force. This
committees report may be consulted at
any large public library, in Congression-
al Record for July 6, 1899.
@. Have we any other proof that the
bond-issue law is still in force? A. In
the last session of Congress, two months
ago, the free coinage men tried to repeal
it and failed. People do not try to repeal
laws which are not in force.
@. Then it was the administrator
duty to issue bonds when the Treasury
reserve ran low, even If the President
had not wished to do so? A. He would
have broken the law by refusing under
| suoh conditions to issue bonds.
@. No matter how costly the issues
might beP A. No matter how costly.
@. Have not these purchases of gold
with bonds been expensive? A. Very
expensive.
@. Did not the Treasury have to go to
European banking house co buy the
gold? A. 1t did in part.
o. Does not this prove,then that these
bankers have got possession of the
wnrld's supply Of gold? A. II does not
q. But If the bankers had not "cor-
nered' the gold why should the govern
ment have gone to them to obtain it?
A. For the same reason which would
send the government to provision cou-
tractors for army supplies and to iron
manufacturers for warships, because That
was their trade.
Q. If these bankers did not hold be-
foreband the gold which the govern
ment bought through them, where did
they obtain it? A. Partly from Euro
psan and American banks of deposit,
partly from new gold production, partly
from Sblu sulppou from one country TO
another in the regular way of trade.
@. Is it positively known that the gold
was obtained from these quarters? A.
1t is "a matter of public knowledge
@, Then the Treasury WAS not sup
piled from the boards of bankers who
had 'cornored' the worlds gold supply?
A. The ''corner in gold" exists only
IN the brain of free coinage men. They
have no evidence Of such "corner, :"

This country struggled from 1899 to
1857 to keep two kinds Of dollars in cir
culation, and never succeeded for any
considerable length Of time. Under the
first coinage law gold soon disappeared
from circulation, and under the coinage
law of 1884 our silver dollars as fast as
they were turned out by the mint were
gathered up and exported. The trouble
was that the mint ratio did not corre-
spond to the commercial ratio, and one
dollar was intrinsically more valuable
than the other The result was that the
SIS valuable dollar went into ciroula-
tion. while the other was sold for the
bullion there was in it or hoarded. Yet
the variation between the commercial
and the mint ratio in the laws Of 1893
and 1884 was trifiing as compared with
tie variation there would be between the
ratio of such dollar as it is now pro-
posed to coin, and the existing com mer-
cial ratio. Yet our free silver friends
think they can keep in circulation both
gold and silver under the is to l ratio
Tn 1884 variation of six per cent between
the dollars was sufficient to Danish one of
them completely, but IL 1886 tha free sill
yer people profess to think both dollars
will circulate in spite of difference Of
nearly one hundred per cent.

Last Sunday, in q signed article, the
Hon. George Fred Williams declared that
emo man can say exactly what the re-
suits Of free coinage at this time will be,
as the problem is really new in the
worlds history" In his speech at Man.
chester he declared that sWe have conf
derce that the silver dollar will be main
tanned by the whole world after this
country begins at the ratio of 16 to l or
less'' Sunday he admitted that he did
not krow what the result would be; on
Wednesday he has confidence that it will
change the commercial ratio from 60 to
l to 16 to / ell over the world. Mr.. Will

There is an old kanaka living
down back Of KawaiahsO church,
who has in all probability the
worst swelled head in Honolulu,
although there are many badly
swollen craniums visible on our
streets daily. The old gentleman
is a sober and industrious man,
seldom imbibing anything strong
er than water, but he is, unfortun-
,ately, a victim of circumstances.
in front of his humble dwelling
there is small porch with pair
of steps leading down to the
ground. In the yard there blow.
ed an ancient and, AeretoSoYr
peaceable old goat of the male sex,
between whom and the lord of the
manor there has been, for many
years, the most perfect friendii-
ness. Since the Fourth instant,
however, the relationship has
changed materially. On the af-
ternoon of that day, the old man,
finding that everyone else
was resting from labor, concluded
that he needed rest too, and
would take it in the quietest man
ner possible by staying at home
and refraining from his accus-
toned occupation.
So he gathered about him his
pipe, his tobacco, a calabash Of
ava and q few bananas and loca-
ted himself for the day on the
bottom stair of his front veranda.
The peaceful hours sped on, the
goat browsed and lay in the
shade, the man ate, drank and
smoked, and both unused over the
past. At last the old man grew
slumberous and began to succumb
to the drowsy god. His head was
nodding vigorously and his body
bowling forward as he crooned
softly to himself some Of the old
songs he learned in childhood.
Meantime, the goat lay under
a tree lazily chewing his cud,
All at once his glance fell upon
the nodding head and swaying
form. In an instant he was
upon his feet.

horned goat of Asia, right willing,

Here loud snore and another
pitch forward on the part of the
unconscious native settled the mat

rolling about in the grass while
the horns of the ungrateful beast
were prodding him in the ribs.
The poor man fled into the
house as soon as he could and to-
day there is native in Kakaakc

TO Ny Patrons:

1t gives me much pleasure
to announce that MIR. M. r.
COUNTER, one of the most
skilled watchmakers ever in
these Islands, is now managing
my repairing department. No
watch is so complex in its
mechanism but we can give per-
feet satisfaction in correcting
the evils to which watches are
heir. Watches are delicate
things to handle. We guarantee
that they will receive no injury
at our hands and will leave
our store in perfect repair.
, Respectfully,
E. A, JACOBSON.
