Recent articles in certain papers of
the United States have spread such a
very good impression about the oppor-
tunities for teachers on the Hawaiian
Islands that the Department of Public
Instruction is being flooded with COM

country. They send their pictures, re-

is needless to say that the publication

CONCERNING REPUTATION.

la J""fii."bic When Applied to I'M
Just and Oppressive Conditions.
The cry of "rcpudiation" and san
archy" so pcrsistcntly INDUCED in by
the eastern goldbug press against the
advocates of bimetalIsm, may not be so
potent bugaboo as would appear upon
first thought. liquidation of unjust
and oppressive conditions is not with
out either precedent or Justification in
american history. The dumping of
that tea into Boston harbor and the war
OF the revolution that followed were
cases OF "rcpudiation" which have with
stood the test OF time and adverse crit
icism. The abolition of slavery is an
other instance of the kind which has re-
ce'ved the unqualified approval of every
civilized nation of the world. Lepisla-
tive fiat can never make Il wrong right.
and when unjust and discrininative
laws have doubled the purchasing power
OF the dollar, while it's debt-paying pow
er has not been increased in any de-
gree, 1T is right in line with the sturdy
American idea OF equity md justice that
so monstrous wrong to the debtor
class should be "repudiated" by such
iSS'Sl" non as VIII cOfTeCN the cVll.
Eight-tenths Of the vast indebtedness
OF this country was contracted under a
bimetallic system, and it is anything
but reputation when the debtor de-
mands that he be allowed to discharge
his obligation under the same financial
conditions. The bimetallist is not q re-
pudiator. because he proposes to pay
his debt with a dollar of equal purchas-
ing power with the one he received.
Nor is he an anarchist, for he proposes
to right his wrongs according to the
constitution of the government under
which he lives.
So far as the financial affairs of this
country are concerned, at least, free and
unlimited coinage Of silver-the bimet-
aliisin of the constitution as it existed
prior to 1s73-is the only basis of equity
between debtor and creditor.-Denver

THE SCRAMBLE For GOLD.
Europe Second Dcst-A Worldwide
Prosperity Demands Silver.

EUROPE SECOND Dcst-A World Wide
Prosperity Demands silver.
In u scramble for gold the United
States is likely to eventually get the
most, because IL is the richest and
strongest nation. 1t has more products
to sell than any other portion of the
globe, and for all surplus products gold
must be given in exchange. The drain
nge of gold from abroad has already
set in, and will continue so long rs VIC
are able to export more than we inn
port. The value of exports, according
to tho latest and corrected returns, was,
during tho fiscal year just ended, ST.
o32,ooO,ooO, while our imports of mer-
chandise for the same year, less reex-
ports, were of the value OF but $745 ,00O,-
600. The difference of $267 ,000, 600 has
partly gone to pay freights on the i'm
ports and partly for interest and divi-
dends on foreign Investments in this
country, the remainder of 1t only hav-
Ing been remittod to us in gold. Dur
Ing the current fiscal year our exports
thus far have exceeded those of the cor
responding period OF last year and the
European demand for our brcadstuffs
and other food products promises TO ex-
tend tho increase through several
months to come Hence, not only has
the outflow of gold ceased, but re-
turn of the metal has begun.
We are selling wheat and corn to Eu-
rope In enormous quantities and Mt
greatly enhanced prices.
Tho cotton crop Is beginning TO come
into market, and tire, sales of that staple
at existing high prices will greatly in
crease the commercial indebtedness of
Europe to us.
The balance must be made good in
one of three ways, namely:
1. by snles of European products to
us in greater quantity than usual; 2.
by sales of American securities now
held In Europe; or, 3. by shipments of
gold TO This country.
But. The sales of European prod
ucts to us have enormously fallen Off.
rs the statistics of importations show.
2 There is little disposition among
the holders of American securities
abroad TO sell out their holdings at Il
tine when every railroad here is re
porting increased earnings and IN en-
couraging prospect of still further in
crease In business
The flow of gold to this country from
abroad will continue long enough to
force the consideration of bimcntallism
upon the attention of foreign nations
INmetallism will become more nee
cssslry for their welfare than for ours.
There cam be no worldwide prosperity
without It, and hence it is that the iinnn-
cial question Is now the only live qucs-
ton that is universally being discussed
by every civilized mutton of the globe.

the d;iwn--Dcnvcr Times.

SILVER SPRAY.

The paramount issue-moncy and
more of 1t.
The silver cause is dead. Long live
tho lively corpscl
The high price OF wheat and low price
of silver bullion suggests that for the
American people there is nothing like
the misfortuncs of others unless it be
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
Brown university trustees and other
goldbugs have come to see that Il man
can be honest, have n level head and at
the same time advocate tho alleged re-
pudiation of restoring silver to its old
time prestige as money metal. This
Is one point scored. The admission has
not been willingly made, but the Amer
lean people are fair, and an aroused
public conscience sometimes does what
nothing else can. Browns trustees
have not been asked to accept or stand
sponsor for President Andrews eco
monte ideas, but any body of men must
know something of the weakness of
their cause when In any manner they
try to suppress the free expression of
opposing views. 1t seems that the
money question has come to be more
than mere economic dispute. a prin-
ciplc is at stake, and that principle
whether or not frec-born citizen shall
be guaranteed the right of the consti-
tuition, such as popular government,
free speech and common equity The
question is whether the poor shall con-
tinue to meekly submit to being fleeced
by the moneyed classes. whether Mann
mon or manhood shall hold the bal
ance' and whether the oppressed shall
gradually be robbed of the right to
publicly mir their grievances-their
only means of seeking redress.

CHiLD'S TALK,

Some Metropolitan Papers Can't Get
Away from Some "FooI Notionr.~
a contemporary devoted TO the cause
OF gold monomctnllsm quotes from
the New York World, IN able journal
which is far from exempt from error
and prejudice on the money issue, TO
show the cause of the decline in the
prices of silver. Tho World says:
This enormous nndi continued de-
cline cannot be attributed. to manipuln-
ton for there has beenno sign of any
such thing anywhere. Nor can It he at
tributed to n falling Off In the East In
din demand, for India has taken this
year SIS. 303, 900 worth, against only So
052.5O0 last year. Neither can dcmone-
tzation' by the act of 1873 in this coun-
try be responsible, for we coined last
year 100000 full legal tender silver
dollars, or more than twice us mnny
ms were coined from 1889 to 1879. The
main trouble Is that under chenpened
methods moro silver is produced every
year than the world wants, and that
the demand for it in markets important
hitherto has recently ceased or greatly
declined.
Aho uTc CcGulnlY de-
structivc OF all arguments for an Mt
tempt by our government alone to re-
store silver to its place as n money
metal ut sixteen to one. The market
ratio Is now about thlrty-seven to one."
This Is simply child's talk. 1t Is oil
of apiece with the old error of compnr-
ingacoinage of Late years with the coin
nSe OF silver dollars between 1880 and
1873. That trick has been exposed
many times. but New York gold organs
stick to it tenaciously. The effort is to
show that the comparatively small
aiumber of silver dollars coined in that
long period constituted the only silver
currency that was In circulation in the
United States. TO earnest and conscien-
tions students of the silver question 1t
is not necessary TO repeat the explana-
ton frequently made, but for begin
ners we say again that the great mass
OF the silver coinage of the United
States In the earlier days was in frac-
tonal parts of n dollar-halves, quar-
tiers, etc.-and that these coins were
OF full weight and n legal tender. Half
dollars and quarters were better suited
to the needs of the people than dollars.
In addition to the United States coin
nge there was vast circulation in this
country of foreign silver coins, which
under our laws were full legal tender.
We may add that we are not arguing
the silver question; only making a
statement of fact that oil students
should know. And we would advise no.
body, whatever his bias may be, to de-
pend for instruction on n newspaper
simply because it is published I'M a.

Some Questions That Are Deing
Asked, with Their Answers.

Some Questions That Are DefnE
Asked, with Their Answers.
Qucstion--Is it true that gold, in q
greater degree than other substances,
possesses stable value, unaffected by
supply and demand?
Answer-It is not true. Nothing could
be more silly than the melting pot
test. So long as certain amount of
gold can always be freely coined into Il
dollar 1t must always be equivalent to
IL dollar, but, us we all know, the value
or purchasing power of dollar may
rise and fall within wide limits, con-
ditioncd upon the amount of money in
circulation as compared with the
amount of commodities in the market.
Give silver free coinage and the melt
ing pot test would apply to silver equal
~ with gold. The increased demand
for gold occasioncd by the denial of
free coinage to silver has given an inn
mcnsely increased value to every dollar
In money based on the gold standard.
OILS the cumulative theory of
money generally held by political econ
omsts?
At is. John Locke, volume 5, page
general, is the quantity of all the money
in the world in proportion TO all the
trade" The report of the British bull
lion committee of 1910 says: "An in
creased demand for gold and Il scarcity
of that article will make it more yalua-
BILE in relation to all other articles. The
same quantity of gold will purchase n
greater quantity of any other article
than it did before; in other words, gold
will rise" Ricardo, In his principles
of Political Economy" chapter 10, says:
"rhc demand for money is regulated
entirely by its value, and it's value by its
quantity" Citizen. in "A Chapter in
Standard Money" says: In this sense,
to say that the quantity of money rcgu-
lates prices is only the same thing us
to say of any article that is bought and
sold that its quantity is Il material fac
tor in determining it's value"
Q.-What is prime requisite of
stable money standard?
A.-That the aggregate amount of
standard money in use should increase
us nearly as possible in an equal ratio
with the increase of other forms of
wealth and the demands of commerce.
Q.--ls the annual increase in the vol
ume of gold money sufficient to render
that metal stable, or, in other words,
n just and honest standard of values?
At is not. Commerce has for many
years been increasing Mt the rate of
moro than six per cent. per annum,
while the amount of gold coin or bull
lion available for use In commercial
transactions has shown an increase of
but slight fraction over one per cent.
Q.-Undcr bimetallism would the
present rate of production of both gold
and silver combined provide sufficient
supply of standard money to keep
prices up to n scale that would prevent
constant appreciation In the purchas-
Ing power of money, detrimental to the
owners of all forms of property save
money and credits?
Alt is not at nil probable that it
would, but the depreciation of prop
erty, or "unearned increment" nccru-
ing to the owners of money and credits,
would be much less than under an cx-
elusive gold standard Gilbert Nc
Ciurg, in Chicago Dispatch.
