SENATOR DANIEL on THE GOLD
ESTBPIY.


Senator Daniel in his speech In Man
chester Friday night made the venture
that there wasn't a gold dollar in the
audience and added: the fact Is. there
isn't enough gold in the country to I'LL
the teeth Of the gold bugs or 10 buy spec
tacles for those who so blindly followed
Palmer and Buckner."
Much allowance should be made for an
orators warmth and for a rhetorician's
hyperbole. but after making all allow
ances possible Senator Daniel talked
too much" that time. 1t would appear
from what he said that gold money is so
very scarce as compared with other
money as practically not 10 exist yet
the Senator knows from the treasury re-
port that on September l. 1897, the stock
Of gold money in the United States was
ss71. s52.S7S.
Taking the population OF The United
States to be about 100000 the gold Of
the country appropriated to money alone
not counting the enormous amount now
used as jewelry and in the arts and the
abundant supply already beaten into foil
for filling teeth-we say that the gold
money alone in the United States IS
nearly enough to put a ten-dollar gold
piece between the teeth Of every man,
woman and child-white black and mu-
latto and Indians not lakeland this.
too. supposng that all have teeth from
the baby just born-as Richard me
Third was born with teeth-to the oldest
men and women. some OF whom have been
known at a great age to grow a third set
Of teeth.
In all these 100000 Of people, how
ever. there IS not one with set OF teeth
strong enough to crack the financial nuts
which Senator Daniel offers.
Now. here are the facts OF this case;
We had on September I. 1897. s7i,S52.37S
in gold as against 4519s3.7l2 silver dol
lars. The amount Of gold in circulation
AT that date was s52i S4S,563, while the
amount Of silver coin in circulation was
Sl12 OH. 1885, This refers. OF course, to CON-
and not to the notes representing gold and
silver. Any man who wants gold in ex-
change for silver or greenbacks can get
IT at any OF the Richmond banks. and
there has Of late been such an influx OF
gold into the United states treasury in
exchange for treasury notes as to cause
alarm lest # create a scarcity Of treasury
notes for which It was exchanged.
And now a word as TO the worlds sup
ply Of GOLD: Dr. Soetbeer.
German economist and a recog-
nized authority, says that the
worlds production OF gold from 1923 TO
1855. inclusive. was ll.436 tons, an average
Of 2s.s7 tons a year. But from 1859 to 1895,
inclusive. according TO the estimate Of
the United States Treasury Department
the worlds production OF gold was l,57oa
tons. an annual average Of 22i59 tons.
Since 1895 the amount produced has
been greater still. and the wonderful dis
coveries very recently in Alaska and else
where promise yield greatly in excess
OF anything the world has ever known.
It is such statements as that we quote
from Senator Daniel that are daily open
ing the eyes of thinking men TO the fact
that he is an unsafe leader.
To say the least of 1t Senator Daniel is
an unsafe leader in finance.

We print elsewhere to-day a statement

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 81. 1897.


In view NJ the motion made IN West
ern synod TO boycott Princeton college,
because OF the action Of certain OF the
professors especially Professor Shields
In signing the application for Princeton
Inn. It is well to know what the facts
OF the case are. The following is regard
ed as an authentic statement of the case
given by the outlook"
The Inn is a well-conducted hotel OF
the highest class, having an excellent
reputation. 1t has no bar, but 1t has
coffee-room. and 1t sells beer TO upper
classmen only. IT does not sell liquors to
students, II It does to anyone. New Jer-
sey is not a Prohibition State, nor Prince
ton a Prohibition town, and there are, as
might be expected, a considerable number
of disreputable saloons in the city which
college students may frequent II they
choose and, doubtless. a small proper
ton OF them do frequent. The Princeton
Inn. under the laws of the state, must
have a ncence II 1t desires to sell wine
and beer, and to secure this license 1t
must have the signatures OF some repu-
table citizens certifying to its reputable
character. One or more OF the professors
of Princeton College signed the certih-
cate. This IS the occasion which has
aroused excitement in several of the
Presbyteries. as well as in the Women's
Christian Temperance Union Of the state.
The New Jersey Synod has decided that
Il had no jurisdiction in the matter, as
regards the professor who signed this GER
tifcate.
1t is surmised that Professor Shields.
who was one of the signers of the GER
tihcate, thinks that 1t is better to allow
college professors full liberty to exercise
their own judgment upon the question
whether any license of an Inn under any
circumstances is right or not than it is
20 prevent such licenses by refusing 70
college professors the right to exercise
their own independent judgment upon
such moral questions. The consequence Of
all this is that Professor Shields has an
nounced that he intends to withdraw
from the Presbyterian Church in a con-
stitutional manner with the least posi-
BILE delay.
How very extreme some persons can be
IN matters Concerning the manufacture
or sale Of wine and beer and spurious
liquors is now and then evidenced by the
violent denunciations Of those who are
thoroughly temperate themselves. but do
not see that II is mortal sin to use
these creatures with the moderation
which is inculcated by the Apostle to the
Gentiles. We confess that we do not see
why Professor Shields should leave the
Presbyterian Church because there are
some Presbyterians who are not as wise
and liberal as himself. If he hopes to
Join any church in which he will not find
people OF the same character as those who
boycott Princeton College because Of his
action. he would likely have to form a
church of his own.
