Is Silver the Farmers Friend?

An interesting table has been pre-
pared showing how wheat began in
September, 1896, to rise in price, be-
ginning at G7.2 cents q bushcl and as
cending to so cents in October, TO 81 Z
cents in March, 1897, to 80 cents in
August and $l.03 on Sept. I, 1897
Parallel with this line Of figures is al
other line showing how silver began at
67.2 cents per ounce on Sept. |, 1855,
and fell steadily, while wheat was RS
ing, getting by August, 1897, to 81.
cents per ounce and by Sept |, 1897,
to 5l.2 cents per ounce The moral of
the parallel is that wheat is not tied to
silver any more than to gold If we had
been on the silver basis from Septem-
Der, 1896, to September, 1897, the rise
in the price Of wheat due to scarcity
would have been nullified to some ex-
tent by the fall of the value of the
white dollar received in payment for it.
As it was, the farmer in September,
1897, got $l.03 per bushel in gold, or
$2.06 according to Mr.. Bryan.

Retire the Greenbacks!

One of the subcommittee of the
monetary commission now sitting in
Washington will investigate the several
classes of United States notes with a
view of devising plan for the retire
ment Of the greenbacks without causing
a contraction or other disturbance of
the currency.
This is one of the most important
subjects that the commission will have
to deal with 1t has engaged the atten-
ton of our best fnanciers for many
years past, including several secretaries
of the treasury, and it is the unanimous
opinion of those best qualified to judge
that the greenbacks should be retired.
At the time they were issued it never
entered the mind of any person that
they were to remain permanently out
standing. The fact that they were ON
their face government promises to pay
was construed as meaning that they
were to be redeemed and retired when
they had served their purpose at the
earliest convenience of the government.
This process of redemption and retire
ment began soon after the war, but it
was stopped by congress and a law was
passed that when redeemed they should
be reissued From that time to the pres
ent they have been trouble breeding
factor in our currency system, a con-
slant source of anxiety to every secre-
tary Of the treasury and a disturbing
element in business They should be
retired
No doubt Secretary Gage will recon-
mend this in his first annual report of
congress, and he may suggest definite
plan for accomplishing it. Between his
plan and the one the monetary commits
sion will offer congress will have no
difficulty in formulating one that will
be safe and feasible and that can be car
ried out without causing any disturb
ance in our currency system.

No government paper money system
can possess the element of elasticity
which is needed i'll a thoroughly sound
and sufficient national currency Under
our present system currency accumu-
lates and stagnates for the greater part
of the year in New York. At last it is
demanded to move the crops in the west
and many millions of dollars are ship
ped out to western banks to be used for
this purpose. Under a correct system
the western banks would be able to in
crease their note issues in the fall when
there is an imperative need for more
money and would not be forced to Dor
row so heavily from the east. After the
crops had been marketed this extra cur
rency would flow into the banks issuing
it for redemption in gold.
In Canada, which has an elastic cur
rency, the volume of money in circula-
ton always depends on the demand for
the use of currency for business pur-
poses. With us there is no way Of meet
ing a temporary demand except by the
starting of new banks or by an act of
congress increasing the volume of green
backs. We are a pretty smart people,
but in some things we are far behind

ing an explanation from Coin" but
the Detroit Tribune (Silver Rep has
no difficulty with the problem. 1t de-
clares that the Continued boostings"
of wheat are merely the result of a
speculative pool at st. Louis, and says
that when the new wheat comes in
prices will drop, and the farmer will
be left out in the cold, as usual. Wheat
and silver will be together again, and

The Gold Standard Fad"
Peru's chamber of deputies has re-
Gently voted to put the country upon a
gold basis.
Our minister to Haiti writes that
Haiti is considering the proposition Of
consolidating her several debts into one
national debt, the destruction of her
paper money, and the substitution of a
gold currency based upon our unit of
value, the American dollar.
These are only small and compare
lively unimportant countries. They,
however, are straws which show that the
wind is blowing away from silver and
toward gold. So many countries have
changed from silver and other kinds of
cheap money to gold during the past
two years that the silverites are at
tempting to ridicule this evolutionary
process by saying that the gold stand
ard is fad" Just now.
This is one way of stating the pop
ularity of gold and the unpopularity of
silver The truth is that silver is being
dropped by all sagacious nations because
it has in the last ten years fully demon
strated its unfitness to serve as a stand
ard of value. 1t is too uncertain and
unstable in value.
Japan made the change from silver
to gold ON the first of this month and
did it without a jar or shock to her
financial or business interests. 1t is al
ways safe to change from bad to good
money.
The United States is now the only
civilized nation of the earth that is con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of changing
from gold TO silver. How long will it
take the remaining silverites to discov-
er what Horace Boies has already dis
coyered-that silver is dead as an issue?

The fact that fish inhabiting waters in deep and dark caves have lost the power of sight has no doubt given cer- tain Paris naturalists the cue for a novel and interesting, if not very hu- mane, experiment. Under the direction of M. Armand Wire, some underground passages of Roman origin have been furnished with tanks and cages, and here, in absolute darkness, several spe- cies of fish and animals-pigs, rats and other creatures-have been imprisoned, and will remain until such time as science Is satisfied. The idea is that total deprivation of sight must in time result in structural changes, compara- ble with those that occur in fish inhab- itlng subterranean waters. In these the eyes, being useless, have disappeared, while antennae have developed to take their place. The atrophy of the eye must be very gradual process and Is hardly likely to reach completeness in the span of life enjoyed Cor not enjoyed)
 by pig doomed to dwell in darkness,
 but future generations of subterranean bred pigs will, no doubt, arrive at to- tai blindness, and, if the experiment total disappearance of the eyeball.

IN INrnRNsriNG IDNI,


 An International federation of bar rlsters was one of the subjects dis cussed at the recent congress of law yers in Brussels, The idea originated some time ago, and overtures, having this end in view, were made in the shape of a circular drawn up by leaders of the Belgian bar and sent to the prin- cipal legal organizations of different countries. At the congress replies were received from England, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Russia, Holland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Switz- Turkey, Greece, LuXemburg, Servia, Turkey and Japan, furnishing much valuable information on the magistraey and the laws and legal practice of all those countries. Among those who took part in the debates were M. Poull- let of the Paris bar, Dr. Goldschmidt and Dr. Lesse, Presidents of two soci- cites of advocates in Berlin; Don Fran cisco Lastres of Madrid Mr. Craekan- thorpe, Q. C., representing the general council of the English bar, and other delegates from Austria, Hungary, Russia, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Switz- erland, and Luxemburg. The discus sions ran chiefly on the propriety of the organization of central interna- tional office of the bars of Europe. It was, however, thought premature to appoint an international bureau, it be- ing held that in thus coming together and discussing matters of common in- terest with each other, the first impor- tant step had been taken. It was left to the officers of the congress, who are to form a permanent committee, to take the next step towards the formation of a permanent organization.

 The wise woman has given to her hair summer rest; that is. she has been doing it in some new fashion, that fresh portion of the hair might be exposed and the surface that was dull and faded from a long winter of ex- posture might grow dark and glossy again. This process has included long brushings for the hair, lock by lock, and once a week it has been combed with a fine comh-not the scalp be- cause that is said to be injurious to the skin of the head-but the hair to cleanse and brighten it. It is done if possible in braids, and after the locks are braided they are polished with a silk cloth. She makes a point of coiling the braids loosely and of letting them hang at night and during the day, when she takes her beauty sleep. The old fashion of braids woven together loose- ly and hanging below the nape of the neck, thus putting no pull upon the head, is again in favor, strand of bright ribbon helping to hold the hair and branch of blossoms adding to the effect These methods of hair dressing afford just the change that almost every woman's locks need, and accom-. plish it without any appearance at any time of being untidy or even behind the styles.
