BlMETALLISM ABROAD.
A Remarkable Admission Mnde by an
Gold MonometnIlist.

n hSIhuri<HbIC hduisSiOn Mnuc by an
Gold Monometnllist.
The Bimetallist, of London, publishes
m abstract of the report of the royal
agricultural commission, which shows
that this document is even more dis
tinctively triumph for bimetallism
than earlier accounts indicated. Ten
of the ii commissioners who signed
what is called the main report join in
a"supplementary report" declaring that
bimetallism is the one practical remedy
for the depression of agriculture. All
the commissioners had agreed that 1.-THE
chief cause of the existing depression is
the progressive and serious decline in
the prices of farm produce" The ten
commissioners who sign the Supple
mcntary report" take this proposition
as the basis of their argument, and urge
that, since the fall in prices is due to
the appreciation of gold, and the appre-
citation OF gold is due TO the demonetiza-
ton of silver. therefore the English gov
crnmcnt should combine with foreign
powers to effect the RECOMMENDATION of
silver. What is even more TO the salts
faction OF bimetallists is the fact that
Sir Robert Giffcn, the extreme mono
mctallist upon the commission, agrees
with his colleagues that the fail in
prices is due TO the appreciation of gold.
With regard to the contention of David
"A. Wells and many other monomctal-
lists that the decline in the price of
wheat from 1873 to 1896 has been due TO
the increase in the supply, Mr.. Giifcn
recognizes the validity of the official
statistics, and says: speaking broad
ly, the figures clearly suggest that the
decline in wheat during The last 90 years
is not due to any great growth Of pro-
duction in excess of the growth of the
consuming population. The facts are
rather the other way; the growth of the
acreage under wheat has Jagged behind
the growth of population" He adds:
1T is great misfortune. consider that
some monomotallists refuse to recognize
the general fall of prices in the last quar-
ter OF century as being, in economic lam
EuaGc, an appreciation of gold. and as be-
laS explained by Il contraction of gold (as
compared with previous period of ex-
pansion, which commenced about the year
1913 The facts are all beyond dispute The
cruX of the question is. that whereas for
20 years before 1913. owing to the state of
the gold supply and demand, the progress
OF invention. cheapcninG OF means OF COM
municailon. and the like influences were at
tended by no general fan OF prices hut
prices rather advanced, now, owing TO the
difference In the conditions of gold supply
and demand, the progress of invention,
chearening of means of communication,
and the like influences. have been accom-
panied by Il fall OF prices"
To Mr.. Giifen, as TO bimetallists. it is
self-cvidcnt that if the supply of money
had Increased rs rapidly after 1873,
there would have been no fall in prices.
Mr.. GiiIcn further admits that bmctal-
lism would result in IL general rise in
prices, but refuses to accept the belief
OF his ten bimctallist colleagues that
this general rise in prices would help

Here Senator Daniel passed from

Senator Daniel said:

complete revision of the ordinances,
to the end that whenever the city un-
dertakes a prosecution it may press

brief criticism Of the proposed Ditz'er-
Briney theological debate and strong
Iy in;imaiing that We didn't know
what We we-e talking about IL We
had had any previous doubt on the
subject. the choler the reverend gen.
t,eman displays under the ''oracular"
criticism OF the very least Of the de-
spised country editors would confirm
us in the opinion expressed two weeks
ago. From the gentleman's own con-
ression he has bad case Of "theolog-
ical habit" and is nos IN a position to
consider the subject from an un-
prejujiced standpoint.
The gentleman misspprehended en-
tirely the scope and purpose of our
criticism and OF course the illustra-
tions and arguments" he uses are
entirely inapropos- We have no OBJ
lection to 4 defense Of the Christian
religion. That is the right and duty
of every member of the church ol
Christ. A contention over forms and
ceremonies or over mere theological
questions, not vital to the plan Ct sal
walton, is an entirely different matter.
The divinity OF Jesus Christ, faith in

must be saved" an acceptance Of his
perfected work as a complete propltia'
.tion for the sins Of those Who believe
and baptism in his name rs n signal

our souls in his cleansing blood, but
not that by, 10 or through the act. by
anv mode, the sins Of any human be-
ing have ever been or ever viii be
washed away or remiited- These we
regard as some Of the essentials for
which the Christian everywhere is
bound to CONTEND.
I, is true that Christ said: "Think
not ihat I am come so sesd pssce- on
earth: I came not to send peace bu,
a srord," and not as incorrectly
