The fear of contraction has a good
deal TO do with the very common oppo-
sition to the policy of retiring the legal
tender notes, but there is no sufficient
ground for it. No one has suggested
any process of retirement that would
not be gradual, and the process would
necessa "ily be spread over several
years, though the beneficial results OF
the policy would begin TO he felt at
cnce. An act of congress providing for
the retirement of the notes would es-
tablish confidence at home and abroad
in the determination and the ability OF
our government 10 prevent a repetition
of the panic of 1898 and it's ensuing ills
that would be of marked benefit to the
country, and all the advantages Of d
sound currency system would be ex-
perienced long before the last Of the
legal tender notes had disappeared.

ADOPTS THE GOLD STANDARD.
After Four Years of Investigation.
Japan Decides to Discard Silver.

After Folr Years of Investigation.
Japan Decides to Discard silver.
On March it was cabled from Yoke
hama that Japan had decided to adopt
the gold standard at n ratio Of 50 Is
to !, the new standard to 50 into opera
ton in October.
This act, on top of many previous
ones, moves Japan completely out Of
the ranks of the semi-ciyilized and into
those OF civilized and progressive ma
tions. 1t was not taken hastily. but
after two year onsideration of an
exhaustive repol made by the japanese
currency commission appointed in
1898.
This commission found that, while
certain capitalists. especially those EN-
ploying many laborers. were benefited
by the falling silver standard the wage
earners were injured from the fact that
their wages did not rise as fast as did
the prices of what they had to buy. The
report pointed out what every rational
trader ought to know-that a silver
standard country can trade and com
Eete with gold standard countries only
after paving the loss on exchange in
foreign trade. However. as the greater
part of Japan's trade was with China
and India, the two countries of Asia
still using the silver standard, the dis
advantage ON this account was not con-
sidercd great
The silverites have lost with Japan
some of their best capital. OF course
they viii tell us how British gold"
was used TO bride the government into
betraying its people into the hands of
the money power. They cannot, how
ever, much longer tell us that we are
unable TO compete with Japan because
she uses the silver standard.
The truth is that Japan got tired of
being q second rate nation and Of work
ing with second rate tools, and after
careful Investigation, concluded to get
rid of free coinage at ordinary ratios,
which drives gold out of the country as
fast as it can be coined and which re-
suits in the single silver standard, and
to adopt the gold standard at a ratio
with silver which win permit the use Of
both metals in her trade 1t is a wise
step. Japan is only one of four or five
nations which have adopted the gold
standard during the last 5 months.

AN AWFUL DISAPPOINTMENT.
He Declared 1t the Worst Sell He
Ever Had.


One Sunday morning a poor man,
dressed in his best, having trudged all
the way from Boston, entered the
church at Newburyport and took a seat
near the pulpit, says the New York Re-
corder. Presently the service began
and the preacher had not been speaking
long before the visitor from Boston be-
gan to show signs Of excitement. AS
the sermon proceeded his body swayed
backward and forward, his eyes gilt
tered strangely and at length he fell
il q fit on the floor. Two deaeons Of
the church Carried him Outside, laid
him down on the church green, unfast-
ened his collar and dashed water upon
him, while he writhed and rolled on the
earth
At last the man recovered his senses
and was asked what allied him. "Oh,
such powerful preaching" said he. Il
had heard before OF men going into fits
under WhitfeId's preaching, but never
supposed it would double me up So.
But" said one Of the deacons, that
vas not Mr.. Whitfield preaching. but
only anear-by minister substituting for
him this morning"
At this point the Boston man be-
came mad clear through.
WHAT" said he "Have l walked so
miles, spoiled my best suit of clothes
and had fits, and never heard Mr.. Whit
field after all? Well, I'll be goldarned
if that isn't the worst sell ever had!"

WHAT is MONEY!
Clearly Explained by "A College Pres
tdent al a Farmers, Convention.

tdent at "a Farmers Convention.
The following is part of the synopsis
printed by the Milton (Wis.) journal OF
an excellent address by President Whit
ford, of Milton college, before the farm
ers' convention at a recent meeting at
Milton. II contains some very lucid
statements of money and of the power
of governments to fix value:
First.-Two separate and distinct val
ues are assigned TO money, one being
the intrinsic or market value of the ar
ticle used; the other the legal or face
value, indicated by the stamp or device
pressed upon the article In some well
known instances what is popularity
called money has only one of these
values.
Second.-The common practice OF
tribes and nations in Sc Getting such ar
ticles or commodities for money is to
adopt two kinds or grades of them, one
having greater market value according
to its weight, for use in the larger ex-
| changes in trade; the other having less
er value, for the smaller exchanges.
This practice furnishes the first essen
| tial condition for a system of bimetal-
lism.
Third.-Only that money is basic and
widely and permanently used which is
made of precious metals, very generally
gold and silver. Other and perishable
commodities are finally abandoned or
held redeemable IN these metals.
Fourth.-The market value of these
metals, not their face value, constitutes
the original and continuous quality by
reason of which they are almost univer-
sally accepted as basic or primary mon
/ ey. Government or custom can add a
| quality, not inherent, but temporary,
to such metals and other articles used
as medium of exchange. But the real
measure thus declared to be effective
and lasting must be the one established
by the laws of trade, not by the edicts
| of government. h. iaf
/ Fifth.-Government itself cannot fix
| or control the market value or price of
any metal or other commodity, whether
used as money or in the practical arts.
So it cannot make fiat money and COM
pei the people to circulate it great
length of time as money of any sort.
/ SiXth.-Any coins or other money
whose market value is less than their
+, face value always soon expel from cir
culation all coins or other money
whose market value is greater accord
ing to their weight, unless the former
are redeemable in the latter Whenever
coin shows even a slight inferiority of
! its market value to its face value, it
tends at once to crowd out of use even
a coin whose two values are equivalent
Seventh.-Gold has been adopted by
the principal civilized nations as pri-
mary money or the standard of values
because Of its greater market value its
less weight for a given sum Of money
and its least fluctuation in market value
of any Of the precious metals.
Eight.-Coius like silver. whose
market value is less than their face wall
ne, can he kept circulating at the same
time with gold coins even in somewhat
large amounts only by being redeem
able in the same denominations with
the gold. The same is true Of paper
money, which has no appreciable mar
ket value

Mr.. William Jennings Bryan is going
about the country preaching the same
doctrine that he preached during the
campaign in which he figured as a nom
nee for the presidency OF the United
States. The activity OF the free silver
forces is not TO be winked at. They are
good and persistent fighters. They re-
alize the fact that new men are entering
into citizenship every year and that
some Of them may be won over TO their
side Of the currency question They
propose TO hold the ground they have
and to secure more II they can. The
free silver advocates should be met
more than half way in this fight that did
not end with the victory won by the
