the string OF ill-luck that has followed
the Wheeling club, Messett and DIESEL

pluckily played out the game after a

accident 1t Is almost certain that his two
errors In the latter part OF the game
would not have been made.

srverite FaIIacies shown By the Mint
Director.

Director.
In his recent report Mint Director
Preston devotes considerable space TO
n discussion Of the causes which have
contributed to the steady and rapid de-
cline OF the price OF silver in the bull
lion market. That Mr. Preston's find
ings are Numerically opposed to the
favorite contention of the silverites
that the fall in price was due TO 1.-The
crime of 70" was TO be expected. The
fallacy OF that contention was long ago
shown, and IL needed not the testimony
OF the mint director 10 convince intel
ligent men, not syayed by prejudice,
that the price OF silver dropped and Is
still dropping simply because of the
enormous increase in production. But
in view OF the agitation now going on
TO secure the consent of the more im-
portant nations 10 a larger use of silver
Mr.. Preston's arguments are Of value,
MIR. Preston admits that silver has
been demonetized since 1879 by various
i nations, including Germany, Norway,
Il Sweden, Denmark, Roumania and In
dia, 10 say nothing Of Russia, Japan
and the South American countries
which have more recently come into the
gold standard fold, but be contends
that this decentralization was an effect
and not 4 cause. II did not produce the
decline in price, but was brought about
by that decline. Had every nation
which used silver for currency prior TO
1873 continued its use up to the pres
ent time the price Of silver would still
have declined. In support OF this as
sertion Mr.. Preston shows that the ag
gregate sales of silver by all nations
since 1873 do not equal the production
of any one year since 1898, that these
sales constitute only small part of the
aggregate production since they began
and, furthermore, that more silver ha'
been coined since 1873 than In any cor
responding period prior TO that date
The consumption of silver for coinage
was unprecedented during the SOS, We
IL was not sufficient to sustain IN
= price.
As bearing upon the question of inter
national bimetallism, Mr.. Preston's con
illusions are that even if all the mint
Of Europe were opened TO the whit
/ metal under the conditions that former
; liz prevailed the production is so vast a
r. the present time that the metal coul
< not possibly be restored TO its forme

NO RETROACTlON.
The DIngIey LAW WAS Operative at
Once.

The Dingley tariff law, as amended
by the senate, was passed by the house
OF representatives on the afternoon Of
July "a, and received the signature of
the president at 4:06 p. IN.
The treasury department held that
the statute was operative from the be-
ginning of the day on which il went into
effect. This follows the old legal rule
that the law does not recognize frac-
tons of a day, and that no matter at
what hour bill is signed, il is operative
from the beginning Of that day.
This question was an important one
to many New York importers. They
were rushing goods across the ocean to
take advantage of the lower rates OF the
Wilson bill. and vast volume Of inn
rorts were entered at the New York
custom house on July "a. Under the
ruling Of the treasury department they
would have TO pay the Dingley duties
on these.
So one importer, who brought in n
CARO- OF raw wool on that day, made a
test case before the United States board
of general appraisers. lie contcnded
that as his wool was entered before the
hour the bill was signed, IL ought &c
come i'm free, rs wool was on the free
! list OF the Wilson bill.
The board has sustained his view. II
declares that rs the Dingley law was not
signed by the president until six min
utes after four o'clock, il was not opera
tive before that minute, and that nj
goods imported on that day prior e
that hour and minute are TO pay dutie
under the Wilson law.
The case is now TO 60 TO the suprem
court of the United States for final dc
cision. II will be OF interest TO have TN
question settled finally, although Their
Is no sympathy with the importers nj
fected by IL, as any decrease OF dut
they may thus obtain will simply r
into their pockets, and not benefit tn
people VINO buy the goods imported tina
day. II is probable that the suprcm
court will confirm the decision Of th
board. as il seems clear that the la'
should recognize fractions OF day, an
such recognition is proper and reason
nble.-Tolcdo Blade.
