years ago to an English audience
that it might almost be included in
Quotation marks. OF course he was
talking ofthe English system, which
has no green backs, no silver certifi-
Gates and no large accumulation Of
silver coin, and yet precisely similar
effects were observable in that coun-
TRY and have since continued to be.
The whole business community
watch the exports and imports Of
gold with close anxiety, and the
rise and fall of Bank of England
discounts, shows that the financiers
of the country are quite as keenly
alive to the Importance of move
ments Of the yellow metal. On both
sides of the water thousands of men
watch the price of exchange where
one thought Of looking at it twenty
five years ago.
1t is indeed a remarkable thing
that intelligent nations should put
themselves in such a condition of
unrest and feverish uncertainty, and
il is strange that not all eyes are
turned to observe "on what a foun-
dation of sand we are resting"
Instead Of broadening the base on
which credit rests, as the business
of modern years develops credit to
the most enormous extent ever
known in the history Of mankind,
we proceed to narrow that base un-
til the whole fabric of credit is ready
to topple over at any violent shock.
Then we try to remedy the folly by
adding little weights on this side
and the other to make it balance
better. When the so-called "ad-
vanced nations" learn from sore
Experience that they must return tc
the broader metallic base, which
they foolishly abandoned, we shall
get rid Of these periodical returns
of alarm, of business disturbance,
and of real danger to financial sta
bility, but not until then.

We confess to some surprise in
finding in the New York Post the
following statement:
"The resumption Of gold exports
find the treasury unconcerned.
That is nothing new; the treasury
is always unconcerned; it is bound
to be. But what a state Of things
it is that sends the reporter in full
cry after the secretary of the treas
ury the moment a few millions Of
gold are ordered to be bought in
New York by foreign bankers! The
newspaper men rush to the secre-
tary and breathlessly ask him:
"Are you frightened? Is there
any danger Of a panic2 Do you
think your gold will hold out?
May we quote you as being entire
ly calm?" The treasury ought to
have no more to do with Sc, 600, 600
in gold going out than with $6, 900, :
600 in wheat. 1t would be no more
absurd to compel 1t to furnish wheat
on demand than gold on demand
Yet our incredible folly puts us and
our currency situation at the mercy
of any banker or nation on earth
that wants gold. The present gold
exports are, Of course, trihine, but
they remind the business world OF
tine inherent vice, the lurking peril,
of our system, and so assume an
unnatural importance. Yet il il
really impossible to exaggerate the
importance Of anything that shows
us on what foundation Of sand we
are resting"
This is so nearly a reproduction
of what Mr.. Balfour said several

made, it is verv doubtful whether
their indignation would have held
them to the mark for two years of
strenuous work, if the born leader
and organizer had not been on the
spot.
Marcus Hanna did not content
himself with learning his own les
sons. 1t was no individual triumph,
but a class victory that was needed,
and that could only be won by con-
certed effort. For six months, by
his arrangement and under his
leadership, the class met out of
school hours to drill each other in
their lessons and strengthen the de-
fenses. Emerson White did all
that any teacher could to help and
direct, but it was Marcus Hanna
that kept the class all at work.
There was a prize for drawing.
Marcus agreed with a certain num-
Der of the class to go out early in
the morning and sketch from ma
ture. AS surely as morning came
there was Marcus under their sew
eral successive windows, throwing
pebbles at the panes to awaken
them. In short he organized VIC
tory in 1858 as he organized it on a
larger field in 1896. No. SIS
"Mark it" was caught up as sort
of class watchword and it was
partly owing to the frequency and
emphasis of Marcus use Of the
phrase that his own name was
shortened to the abbreviated form
! it has ever since retained.
The class won OF course. They
beat the old school by the stipulated
per cent, and Mark Hanna him
self took the prize for map-drawing.
As for little haxen-haired John
ID. Rockefeller, in the lower class,
his lessons were no trouble; he
could learn them in ten minutes,
and had abundant leisure and super
abundant energy and enterprise to
devise mischief. Emerson White
frequently requested his kind as
sistance to put work on the black
board, and so forth; but all the re-
sources of pedagogical ingenuity
were taxed in vain to find enough
extra work to keep John d. Rookie
feller out of mischief. In this
dilemma, Mr.. White said confident
tally to some of the girls: "We
must all do our best to find things
to keep John busy. Now when l
send him to help one of you girls
with your work, you must need
help" Thereafter when other en-
ployement failed, John Rockefeller
was usefully occupied in helping
some of the girls to solve their pro-
blems or draw their maps-to the
great advantage of the peace and
prosperity of the school. Now,
Emerson White, after a long and
honored life, three years Superin-
tendent of the, Cincinnati schools,
charter member and once PRESIDENT
of the National Educational Asso-I
citation, etc.. etc., is spending his
declining years in beautiful home

THE CID CRY.

In order to meet the evidently in
creasing sentiment in favor of fre'
silver coinage the advocates of golt
are again claiming that the gol,
product is largely increasing. 1t i
said that not only in South Africa
which is so far away that exagera
ted statements can be made will
,,Iimpunity, the discovery of gold il
increasing, but that in our owr
country extraordinary gold deposits
are being discovered. From the
representations that are being made
one might suppose that the gold
product might soon be expected to
equal or even surpass in amount
the silver product of the world.
When reduced to basis of actu-
al comparison the fact always comes
out, however, that the increase in
the supply Of both gold and silver
is not proportionately equal to the
increase in population. People are
being born into the world every day,
and the ratio of births to deaths is
largely in favor of births. The num-
ber Of men and women who are
now engaged in earning their own
livelihood is being daily increased
by those who are coming of age and
entering the competitive struggle
for existence. If the claims of the
advocates of gold standard are
true they would still not off set the
increase in the population, and
therefore the abandonment of either
of the precious metals as money
cannot fail to bring hardships and
distress upon the people.
The fact that Japan, Peru and
Chill have adopted the gold stand
ard makes it all the more impera-
tive that the United States should
return to a bimetallic basis. Every
country that adopts gold standard
becomes a competitor for the worlds
supply Of gold, and the greater
number Of these competitors the less
gold each can hope to secure.
To reduce the volume OF debt.
paying money is to contract the fa-
cilities for material and physical
development. If it could be admit
ted that civilization has reached its
limit and that the natural resources
Of the world have been exhausted,
then it might be logical to continue
the policy which England has es-
But such a proposition
is unworthy Of consideration. The
and material resources
Of the country are still in course Of
progress, and that they may reach
the highest degree Of development
an abundant supply Of money is
absolutely essential.
The cheering fact for Americans
is that the people are learning raore
Of the true conditions than they
ever knew before, and as they ac-
quire intelligence the demand for
silver restoration will increase.
