our financial ability or soundness
while the situation from 1893 to 1897
must admonish Congress of the imme-

make the return of the conditions then

There are many plans proposed as a
remedy for the evil.Before we can tin'
the true remedy We must appreciate the
real evil. 1t is not that our currency
of every kind is not good; good be-

be broken. However, the guaranty of
our purpose to keep the pledge Will be
best shown by advancing towards It's
fulfillment.

The evil of the present system is
found in the great cost to the govern

different forms of money, that is,
keeping all of them at par with gold.

an expensive charge upon the govern
ment, but a dangerous menace to the
national credit.
1t is manifest that we must devise
some plan to protect the government
against bond issues for repeated re-
demptions We must either curtail the
opportunity for speculation made easy
by the multiplied redemptions of our
demand obligations. or increase the
gold reserve for their redemption. We
have 5000, 600, 900 of currency which
the government, by solemn enactment,
has undertaken to keep at par with

would kill the black man, proceeded to And

ToTERs MUST READ ENGLISH.
The Constitutional Amendment Upon which
ConaectIcat Voter. WI Pas

STANFORD, Conn. Sept. 1s.-The voters win
determine at the annual town election in 0cto-
Der whether the ability to read the English Ian
guage shall constitute a requisite to being ed-
mitted to citizenship. The Constitution Of
Connecticut provides that every person shall
be able to read any article of the Constitution
or any section OF the statutes OF the State be-
fore being admitted an elector. Under this
law there have been frequent controversies
among the boards OF registrars, particularly in
the large cities. 1t being asserted by some that
the ability TO read the Constitution or statutes
in any language was all that the law required.
Others ruled that II was necessary for the aP-
p.icant 10 be able to read English. Under such
rulings d man speaking or reading only a for.
eign tongue would secure, in some cases. fran.
chise, and in other cases the application would
be rejected. To remedy this the following pro-
posed amendment was submitted TO the Legts.
latUre OF 1895:
Every person shall be able to read In tho
English language any article OF the Constitution
or any section OF the statutes OF the State be-
fore being admitted an ~elector.' This passed
both, houses Of 1895 by the necessary two
thirds vote, and under the Constitution was
postponed until 1897. 1t passed again last
year and Is now ready for submission to the
DeODle.
