POPULATION AND CIRCULATION.
M. NJ. MURDOCH. Editor.

Some of the more extreme single
Standard -goldbug organs assert tha'
however favorable the results OF kloh'
dixie and other recent discoveries OF
gold bearing fields may prove to be,
that gold Will not be lowered in pur-
chasing power as measured by Its COM
mercial value and that the commercial
value of silver will not be affected one
way or the other whatever the addition
al amount Of gold mined might be. This,
to US. seems illogical and nonsensical.
Even if silver had no monetary value
as a metal, its commercial value would
be affected by the increase or decrease
of the volume of money in circulation
AN over-production of gold would sure
ly decrease its commercial value and IN
80 doing increase the commercial value
Of silver The present low price of sill
Yer must bc due to Oyer-production or
otherwise TO a bear movement OF the
goIdbugs. The demand for it for money
purposes having almost ceased, its COM
nercial value logically falls.
Speaking of circulation, according to
the estimates of the treasury officials.
the population Of the United States at
The present time numbers 100000
The per capita circulation, according to
the same authority, is S22.53. In 1872,
when the population was about 65,00o.-
900, the per capita circulation was al
most So greater than now, according TO
the same authorities That being true
we should have fully S200,000,0 900 more
OF money in this country in order TO !
have the same monetary, and conse
quently the valuation conditions of '92. |
of course the single standard, one-idea |
advocates propose to believe that the |
amount of money available for circula-
ton has nothing TO do with regulating |
prices Whatever they may say, 1t is
fact known Of everybody that the
sbrinkage of circulation has been mark
ed by falling prices. The silver or BIZ
metallic advocates may be Illogical in
some of their claims, and wild in their
theories, but it is just sure thing that
the goldbug, on the other hand Is very
narrow and hidebOund in his logic and
hoggish in his demands. the price or
thing IS affected by it's quantity and the
price relatively goes up or down with
such quantity. Neither silver nor gold
are sacred things. They are simple
metals. subject to the same laws, COM
mercially speaking or considered, as
other metals. The more good money 4
there is in a country the less the power
Of the mOnied class, and the more good :
money in circulation the greater the :
prosperity Of the people. II

WILLIAM MCKINLEY.
Ny judicial career covers many years of
service. Having been elected mem Der
of the Supreme Court of California, 1
assumed that office on October 13 1857,
holding it for five years seven months
and five days, the latter part OF the time
being Chief Justice.
On the 10th of March, 1868, was COM
missioned by President Lincoln as Jus
tice of the Supreme Court OF the United
States, taking the oath of office on the
Goth day of the following Nav.
When my resignation takes effect my
period of service on this bench will have
exceeded that of any of my predecessors,
while my entire judicial life will have
elm braced more than forty years. 1 may
be pardoned for saying that during all
| this period, long in comparison with the
brevity of human life. though in the retro
spect, 1t has gone with the swiftness of
tale that is told, l have not Stunned to
declare in every case coming before me
for decision the conclusions which my
deliberate convictions compelled me to
| arrive at by the conscientious exercise of
such abilities and requirements as l pos
sessed.
1t is a pleasant thing in my memory
that my appointment came from Presi-
dent Lincoln, OF whose appointees l am
the last survivor. Up to that time there
had been no representative here of the
Pacific Coast. A new EN- pire had risen in
the West whose laws were those of an
other country. The land titles were from
Spanish and Mexican grants, both of
which were often overland by the claims
of the first settlers. To bring order out of
chaos Congress passed an act providing
Tor another seat on this bench, with the
intention that it should be filled by some
/ one familiar with these conflicting titles
and with the mining laws OF the coast,
and, as it so happened that l had framed
! the principal of those laws and was more
over Chief Justice of California, it was the
wish of the Senators aud Representatives
OF this State as we'll as those OF Oregon.
that | should ucceed to the new position.
At their request Nj. Lincoln sent nv
name to the Senate, and the nomination
was unanimously confirmed.
This kindly welcome was extended in
March, but did not at once enter on the
discharge of the duties of the Office for the
