eve demand the free and unlimited coin
age of both silver and gold at the present
legal ratio of Is to l without waiting for the
aid or consent of any other nation"
A policy which all the intelligent ma
lions of the world have abandoned since
the enormous production of silver has
brought it to ratio of "a to with gold,
and the divergence still increasing. The
product of the silver mines of the world
since 1873 is practically one-half as much
as that produced from the mines of the
world in 800 years preceding that date, as
shown by the highest official authorities.
eve demand that the standard silver dol
lars shall be full legal tender equally with
gold for all debts, public and private"
It is now "a full legal tender for all
debts. public and private except where
such men as William NJ. Stewart, John P.
Jones, Arthur Sewall, John P. Altgeld,
John r. Mclean and other silver leaders
deprive it of its full legal tender value by
making their contracts and loans and rents
and interest payable by the poor in gold
only. Every one of the $50, 600, 900 stand
ard silver dollars which we now have is a
full legal tender for all debts, public and
private, and the party which asserts, even
by implication, that this is not the fact in
tends either to discredit those dollars or to
deceive the people, or both
I'VE favor such legislation as will prevent
for the future the characterization of any
kind OF legal tender money by private con-
tract.
An excellent plan, but the fact that the
leaders of the party proposing this now
refuse to follow that plan in their private
affairs casts a suspicion upon the good
faith of this public assertion
owe are opposed to the policy and prac-
tice Of surrendering to the holders of the
obligations of the United States the option
reserved by law to the government of re-
deemipg such Obligations in either silver
coin or gold COIN
Every holder of obligations of the Unit
ed States can receive his pay for them in
silver if he desires, or in gold if he desires.
If the government were to insist on pay
ing in one metal to the exclusion of the
other it would Immediately discredit its
obligations and at the same time iniure
the standing of large share of the money
which it has itself issued and promised
by implication or III words to keep as
good as the best. While these obligations
| call for payment in ''coin, that term.
when the acts authorizing the bonds were
passed, related only to that which was
the equivalent of gold in value and pur-
chasing power, and to attempt to take adj
vantage of the fact that the metal of
which part of this coin is now made has
IN the meantime deprecated i'll value, and
force coins Of that particular class upon
the holders of those obligations would
be dishonest and would lay the govern
ment liable, as it does those who propose
it, to the charge of taking advantage of a
technicality to do dishonest and treach-
erous act. 1t would bring upon the gov
eminent of the United States, as it does
upon the men who now make it, the con-
tempt and condemnation of honest men
the world over.

A half century of commerce is good
d cal better index to the capacity of a
country than short period of two or three
wears. The free-t traders who are trotting
out figures to show that our sales of Ameri-
can manufactures abroad increased under
the Wilson law would do well to look over
the history of the past half century before
they go very far into these statements. If
they do so they will find that in the quar-
tel of a century of low tariff the balance of
rade was almost const antly against the
the United States, while in the quarter of
d century Of protective tariff the balance
of trade was largely in our favor. In the
twenty five years since 1872 there have
been but five years in which our exports
did not exceed our imports, while in the
twenty-five years preceding that there
were but two years in which the imports
were not in excess of the exports. The
excess of exports over imports in the last
quarter of century was about 81, 800, O00,-
900, while the excess of imports over eX-
ports in the preceding quarter of century
of low tariff was about 81, 400, 600, 900.

The Two Minute Horse.

READvILLE, MASS, August 28.-The Chi
cago pacing stallion Star Pointer, owned by
James A. Murphy, to-day wiped out forever
the 200 minute mark and ended the contro
versy which has been going on for years as tc
the speed qualities of the light harness horse
Accompanied by runner, the big bay Ten
nesee pacing bred stallion wiped up the mark
and had three-quarters of second to spare
when he went under the wire. 1t was the
most wonderful performance ever witnessed
by light harness horse and was seen by
about 5000 people. Il was the more wonder
full for on Friday Joe Patchen, with Geers
behind him, had made shot at the mark
made by John R. Gentry last October and
failed by second and a half Because of
this it was not thought that his greatest rival
in the race line would get down below the
even time mark. The summary;

The article on the 9th page from the
Caribou Republican, on agent Pestered
ARGOS took, " is interesting and instructive
reading. We have had the same kind of
agents, and many others, in Waldo coun-
ty; but perhaps because of the warnings
of the local newspapers, or because our
people are less gullible, they have not
been bled to such an extent as our friends
in the northern part of the State. We
can still, however, profit by their expert
ence, and our own, and continue to buy
from local and responsible dealers rather
than from glib-tongued agents who are
here to-day and gone tomorrow. AS to
loan and building associations we are sur
prised at the statements made by our
Aroostook contemporary. Here and else
where such associations have proved most
beneficial to the places in which they
have been established, and profitable to the
stockholders. Many cities, notably Phil
adelphia. have been largely built up by
the building associations, and they have
enabled many to own homes who must
otherwise have continued to herd in tene-
ments.

The wareh ouse- certificate scheme,
wherein certificates based upon the bull
lion value Of silver may be used, is now the
only hope of ex- Governor Boies of Iowa as
a basis for currency. He said, months
ago, as did many of those who last year
supported the free coinage of silver idea,
that the day for that proposition has pass
ed. In his latest proposition, made pub
lie few days ago, he Suggests that the
only method of making silver useful as a
basis for currency is its deposit in ware
no uses and the issuance of certificates
upon its bullion value. This might be a
GOD scheme if silver did not have an un-
comfortable way of taking a drop every
now and then.

That the customs collections since the
new tariff law went into effect have been
very light is, of course, explained by the
fact that the importers had crowded into
the country all the foreign goods which
they could get in under the low tariff rates
of he Wilson law prior to the enactment
of the protective measure now upon the
statu tie books. Not only did they scour
the world for foreign manufactures, but
they ransacked the bonded warehouses,
taking out the bonds on everything upon
which the new law increased the rates of
duty. This is shown by the recent official
figu res given the public at Washington,
which shows that on SIS, 900, 600 worth
of goods remained in the bonded ware
Ii ouses of the country at the beginning of
the month in which the Dngley bill went
into effect compared with more than
> 90, 000, 900 in those same warehouses one
yeaI prior.

Right, though we see it darkiy;
Right that he should have gone
Beyond the mystic boundaries
To awake to a brighter morn.
Full of plans for the future,
For the right ever ready to try;
Patient and ever striving,
Loving life, yet ready to die.

And yet beyond this strife,
