Free Coinage aaa .,sIors Money!

Mr.. Henry Peabody. of Boston. con-
tributes to the current issue of Money an
excellent article. in which he treats of
some of the deIusions of those who favor
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of 1s to /. referring to the
favorite theory that free coinage would
make money plenty Mr.. Peabody points
to the experience Of several countries
that have been and are on a silver basis,
as illustrating the fallacy of this claim,
He points out that Mexico in 1894 had
bb,Ooo,oOO silver dollars In circulation.
Her mines produced Ssl,OOO.OOO worth of
silver, much OF which was coined, But
coined and uncoIDed 1t was exported and.
in addition 100000 more. so that in 1895
there were less than 100000 silver dol
lars In circulation. This proves clearly
that neither the production nor free coin
age OF silver in a country increases
money or makes the country richer,
Mr. Peabody also refers to Japan.
which was placed on a silver basis,
and with the decline of silver experienced
a shrlnkage OF half the vahie of the
money unit. together with the daily fluc-
tuations in the rate of exchange. 1t was
this experience that caused Japan to
adopt the gold basis and fix the parity
of the silver coins at S2to l. He says:
"The government of Japan has accum-
ulated considerable amount OF gold re-
demption4fund. and viii pay ITS notes IN
gold and exchange gold coin for silver
yens, which win recoln into fractional
pieces Silver coins will be legal tender
only 70 amount of ten yens. Any In
crease Of silver coin is prevented by clos
ing the mints except on government &C.
count; coinage OF gold Is free"
In nearly all the silver countries in
South America precisely similar condl-
tons have prevailed and Chile. Costa
Rlca and other countries have decided
recently to adopt the gold standard.
comuare all these experiences with the
situation in the United states,whlch has
in its currency 672,OOO.OOO of gold and

Mr. rIerran on Annssatlon.

Senator Morgan. Of Alabama, writing
In the New York Herald. makes a very
logical argument in favor of Hawaiian
annexation and answers some Of the OBJ
jec,lons that are raised 1.-THE opposition.
He especially dwells upon the advan-
,aees Of Hawaii AZ an Important naval
and commercial outpost the fact that 1t
is our western limit, and answers the un-
Just charge that we would be annexing
an undesirable population.
Senator Morgan declares that mot
withstandlng our solidarity as a oonti-
mental power. we keep great fleet on
The Atlantic for the necessary defence OF
our seaports. and 1t is nearer from San
Francisco to Honolulu than 1t Is from
the mouth Of the Mississippi by sea t'
Portland, Maine" In that case. he
argues, our Solidarity" is a great dis
advantage to our sea power, owing to the
great distance, and without our navy we
would be very helpless, That argument
only proves that Hawaii is Indispensable
10 the effective defence Of our poTis and
our ships Of commerce. Senator Morgan
