Federal Judges are one Of the many products
OF Single Tdrer.
Is landlordism really rs bad as all that It is
hard to find out what the trouble with every
thing and universal fount of evil is. The opinion
Of one powerful school of philosophers is that
the trusts are responsible for everything in the
form OF things that is out of joint. Now. Federal
Judges are admitted even by as conservative
men as DEBs and SOVEREIGN to be an evil.
Consequently they must be the product of trusts.
But no; for they are one OF the many products
of landlordism. Is landlordism then respon-
sible for trustsi VIII everything DO all right

porary, "the miners learn how easily they can

when. as a result of tho taxing.out process,

The Bank of Englaud's Silver Policy

The explanation made officially. yesterday,
by the Governor of the Bank of England, Of
the proposal which the officers of the bank
are considering. to hold one.flfth Of Its note
reserve in silver, puts the matter in q light
quite different from that in which 1t was
presented by rumor last week.
1t is true, that the bank is willing to
avail itself of the permission given by its
charter to procure and hold the amount of
silver specified, but only upon two condi-
tions, namely, that the french mint shall
be opened to the free coinage of silver, n
tn at the prices at which the metal shall DO
"procurable and salable" are satisfactory.
This means, simply, that II the French Gov
eminent will undertake at all times to coin
the Bank of England's silver into coins con-
vertible into gold, and that the silver can
be bought so cheaply that the possibility Of
loss on 1t Is reduced within safe limits, the
bank will part with some of its gold, EN-
porarily, and accept silver in it's place.
That the French Government will put
France into a position where its stock Of
gold will, practically, to the extent Of the
silver held, not only by the Bank Of Eng
land, but by the whole world, be exchange
able for gold at will, is unlikely. The Bank
of England cannot tender silver in pay
ment of demands upon it for more than $40
in one sum. No great quantity Of silver is,
therefore, of any use to it, and IL it had
silver and needed gold, it would at once
send the silver to France and try to get gold
for it. This process the Bank of France
would resist by stopping gold payments, as
it has the right to do and does frequently.
Gold would, in such an event, go to a pre-
MUM in France and silver could be ex-
changed for it only at a loss.
So far as the proposed measure is counted
upon to raise the value of silver bullion it
Bank of England Is about $175, 900, 900,
one-ffth Of which is 1886, 10000 This
sum would buy, even at so cents per ounce,
only O.OOO, 900 ounces Of silver, or but
one-third of the annual output of the metal
of the world, and after the 70. 200, 900
ounces had been bought, whatever effect
the purchase might lave had upon the
price would come to an end. Silver would
again begin to fall, the Bank of England
would be loaded down with a stock of 1t
as useless as so much lead, and which 1t
could not sell without still further de.
pressing the market.
The origin of the scheme Is undoubtedly
the desire of the bimetallic members of the
British Government to do something To
make silver more valuable thar it Is. They
represent the great Tory landed interests
and the Manchester cotton s%pinners. who
see in the present low price of silver the
cause of the low price of agricultural
produce and Of the increasing competition
in manufacturing Of India and Japan. The
one class desires to make the consumers OF
foo pay more for it, and the other to make
their workmen accept lower wages fol-
their abor. The scheme has deservedly
met with almost unanimous condemnation
by the British press, and 1t will be dis
missed with the contempt 1t merits.

It was the third il the course under the auspices of the Mems club, and was deserving of crowded house. The threatening weather of the afternoon doubtless kept many away but those who did attend were enthusiastic. The har- monious blending of She voices of the quartet made their singing enjoyed by every person in the hall. The elocution- ist, Miss Nichols, who accompanied the quartet, won the favor of the audience from the start, and in her concluding number was encored four times. Alto- gether it was an evening of delightful en- tertainment, and should they be secured by the club for another season would command a crowded house.
