The National Financial School.

The National Financial school is the
name of an organization which is maxi
ing some headway in the middle north
eIn states and perhaps also in other
sections of the country. It's ostensible
object is TO conduct nonpartisan study
of American finance. Its prospectus,
however, contains some expressions
such as restoration of a thoroughly
American financial policy" which indi-
Gates the real object of the promoters.
The organization was recently extended
into Boone county, Ind, where seven
financial schools besides the advance
school" and the county school" are
now in operation, each with presidents,
secretaries, instructors and directors.
These financial schools should be en-
couraged by all sound money men and
organizations. There is no more GER
tain way of ridding the country of the
slXteen-to-one-er than by educating the
voters on the money question. If the
schools are real schools and not merely
lecture looms, there cannot be too many
of them. As they are nonpartisan. hooks

CLEARED UP.
Is the Mystery of Baby Ray and the
Basket.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, June 15.-The
mystery of the little waif left by 9
strange woman few weeks ago on q
doorstep in Marietta has been solved
The two women, one elderly and an.
other more youthful, it will be re
mem bered, are residents of this city
and reside in the lower part of town
The older woman, who took the
baby to Marietta and left it on DR..
Harts doorstep, went from Marietta tc
Frost in roundabout way, meeting
the younger woman before she reached
that village. There they had relatives
and with them they stayed til, the ex-
element over the affair had subsidized
Then they returned home to this city.
AS was surmised at the time, the wo.
men were acquainted with the little
boy, Ray, who was left at DR.. Hart's
residence years ago. The circum-
stances in both cases appear almost
identical. No names will be given un-
less some legal step is taken.

THE DRIFT TOWARD GOLD.
silver Nations Are Gradually Coming
to the Gold Standard.

silver Nations Are Gradually Coming
to the Gold Standard.
While Mr.. Bryan and his associates,
refusing to accept the verdict of last
November, are looking forward hope
fully to renewing what they call the
"battle for silver" at the next congress
sional elections; while q bimetallic
commission has just been appointed to
visit the European governments in the
interest of international binetallism,
there may be perceived all over the
world an unmistalSable drift toward the
single standard of gold. Since the ap-
pointment of the United States COM
missioners the dispatches from Europe
indicate that their mission Will be fruit
less, and that there is no more probabili-
ty of those governments returning to
bimetallism than there is of their re-
turning to fintlock muskets for their
armies. The latest announcement is
from Russia, which is to the effect that
she is i1Tcvocably committed to the gold
standard.
But it is not in Europe alone that
this tendency is observable. The wis
dom and apparent case with which the
japanese government has planned the
adoption of the gold standard is one of
the marvels of modern craftsmanship
and marks the people as among the
most sagacious nations of the earth.
Laggaid China also seems to be awak-
ing from her silver dream of isolation
and is anxious to have the customs du-
ties at the treaty ports placed on the
gold basis, as they substantially were
when the treaties were made. The de-
probation of silver has greatly crippled
her revenues, and now that she is com
ing into closer financial connection with
Russia it may be assumed that her
finances will be conformed to the gold
standard.
If we turn from the far orient to our
own hemisphere, we will perceive a
stirring i'll the Central and South Amer
lean states to reform their monetary
system and escape the losses entailed
by an inferior and deprecated currency.
A dispatch few days since from Lima
informed us that Peru had not only sus-
pended silver coinage but had passed
IdW d. iluSU IilC LII pOl I'd IlOu VI SllNtI'
Columbia has adopted the gold stand
ard, while Chill, Uruguay and Brazil
make gold unlimited legal tender and
silver in but limited sums. In Hon
duras, San Salvador, Costa Rica and
Santo Domingo the gold standard has
been established by law, though de-
preciated paper currency prevents the
circulation of gold at present. These
movements go to show that those ma
tions who are in touch with European
trade and commerce feel the necessity
of having the same monetary system
and that their people are at disadvan
tage because of their fluctuating and
deprecated home currencies.
And yet while these nations, admit
tedly our interiors in wealth and in
physical and intellectual progress, are
struggling out of the bonds that hold
them back there are those among us
who would imperil our vast wealth and
commerce by plunging us down to the
silver standard. What must the nations
of the world think of such leadership
and statesmanship?- Times
