4 The increase in gold, coupled with the
increase in the percentage of that metal
which is coined, is one Of the most i'm
portant facts to be taken into considera-
tion in the determination of the cause of
the falling off of the demand for silver
and the consequent falling off in its price.

laVOI WekS,s sgu2l GOiQ was growing scare
er; that the total amount Of gold in the
world was in the possession or control Of
a few rich men; that gold was growing
.Sdearer and therefore all commodities
were growing cheaper; that unless the
United States remonetized silver and
paid its debts in silver, it would soon be
bankrupt because it could not get the
gold to pay with except by borrowing;
that upon and since the ''crime of 1872
silver has gradually dropped in price
and all commodities and especially wheat
had dropped in parallel lines with it, and
would continue SO to do unless silver
was remonetized; that the tariff question
was simply fraud and a humbug to
catch votes; that silver countries like
Mexico and Japan were more prosperous
than the United States because of their
silver currency.
Of course, these are but part Of the
arguments used, but we think they are
the principal ones and fairly though brief
ly stated.
On the other hand the republicans ar
gued the exact converse Of nearly every
one of these propositions, and that the
financial question was only one Of many
elements Of commerce; and while all ele-
ments were factors in fixing prices OF
commodities whether ofsilver or wheat
or any other thing bought and sold. yet
the greatest and strongest factor in fix-
ing the price Of anything was the supply
and demand. The republicans claimed
! that financially the government was in a
bad way because the existing tariff did
not produce sufficient revenue to meet
expenses.
More than a year has passed since
these issues were presented to the peo-
pie. The questions were largely in the
form Of prophecies as to what would oc-
cur if Bryan were not elected, and if we
continued on gold basis.
To-day, we find silver at the lowest
{ point ever known. A Mexican dollar.
whether in Europe or in Mexico, is worth
only 43 cents. Ten cents on the dollar
I less than when Mr.. Bryan made his speech
at the Chicago convention. Even the
possibility of Bryan's election did not
keep up its price; It kept going down
even before the result was known.

HOUSE ..sTEERING COMMITTEE
Excellent Service Done by It-Nichoi-
son rs Chairman.

IL developed yesterday that the Repub-
Hcans of the House at their caucus on Mon
Gay afternoon had appointed a steering
committee" composed OF Representatives
Nicholson. Willoughby. Hart. Blankenship
and Harris. This committee did most ex-
cellent service yesterday as was shown by
the solid front the Republican majority
presented upon the question OF the Appel
late Court bill and the Gibson count cleo
ton contest. The feature of shis committee
that will surprise the people of the State
at large is the appointment Of Mr.. Nichol-
son. author Of the famous temperance bill.
as its chairman. The fact that his name
has been made famous as the author OF
this temperance measure has given a good
many politicians throughout the State.
particularly in the cities, an impression
that Nicholson is more or less OF a crank
There was never a more mistaken impress
sion. During the last session Of the Legis-
lature he was not i'm evidence until near
the end. when his temperance bill came up
for.Dassage. and il was remarked at the
time that he developed a quality OF leader
ship that was not TO be Sneezed at. Re
turning 10 this session as an old member
he has given upon every occasion further
evidence of his ability as a party leader.
Always cool and imperturbable. he Is never

excellent floor manager when il comes TO

suggestions About Taxation.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal;
The legislative reports show some pro-
posed action relating 10 a deduction OF
debts from value OF real estate for taxa

oppose II. | think the tax commissioners
are right. / do not think deduction for
debts should be allowed from any taxable
property. This brings me TO the query:
Why is the owner of national bank stock
permitted 10 take his debts from value or
stock for taxation? What is there more
sacred about national bank stock than
there is about a farm? My remedy would
not be 10 deduct debts from farm value.
but not 10 allow debts to be deducted from
national bank stock. II ~ Is possible I

Judge discharged them at their request at

criticism at the time. The case was then

leave TO reinstate. This is said TO have been
done for the reason that action had been
commenced in the Marion Superior Court.
