THE Multitude OF Currency Schemes.

President MCKINLEY has recommended
70 Congress one currency scheme; Secre-
tary GAGE has recommended another; each
OF the seventeen members of the House
Committee on Banking and Currency has
one, which he is urging the committee to
adopt and report to the House; several
members of the House Committee on Ways
and Means are ready to bring on theirs as
soon as they get a chance; a number Of
bills, introduced by individuals in both
houses are already printed, and the anna
teur Monetary Commission, appointed by
the indianapolis Conference of last Janu-
airy, threatens soon to launch upon the pub
lie the result of It's arduous labors.
No sane person expects that any Of this
multitude Of schemes will be adopted by
Congress, and it Is doubtful whether any
Of them even comes before that body for
debate. They will be useful, nevertheless,
in bringing up the points Of general agree
ment and disagreement on the subject, and
thus they will clear the way to a conclusion
that will satisfy the country.
The point Of general agreement, thus far
indicated, is, that, whether the nations
paper money be issued by the Government
or by the banks. the Government shall
guarantee the redemption of it in gold. 1t
Il acknowledged that notes resting solely
upon the solvency Of the banks respectively
issuing them will be unacceptable to the vast
majority of our people. We have had too
unpleasant an experience of a multifarious
bank currency, of varying degrees of value,
of varying appearance and Of uncertain re-
deemability, to endure it again. Thu cur
Iency we lave now, being all issued by the
Government and redeemed by the Govern
ment, passes from hand to hand without
question, and with no other examination
than hat required to count it. The new
currency, II we are to have any, must COM
mand no less confidence.
The question thus takes this shape: If
the Government Is to guarantee the notes
issued by the banks, take charge Of the
gold fund for their redemption, and make
Ats Sub Treasures their redeerning agen-
eies, why should 1t not issue the notes
itself in the first instance and avoid paying
the banks millions of dollars every year
Tor services which they do not rendera The
Government has better and safer storage
vaults for gold than the banks have, and
the people put, with good reason, more
faith in It than they put in the banks. In
times of panic there would never be a run
upon the Treasury as there would be upon
the banks. because the Government. since
the resumption Of specie payments, has
never once suspended them, while the
banks have several times suspended pay
ment in paper as we'll as in specie.
Let us suppress all bank notes and fill
their place with Government notes, re-
deemable on demand in gold and secured
by a redemption fund not liable to deple-
tion for any other purpose.

Government Ducks and Geese.

Administrations change, but the Depart
ment of Agriculture never ceases its benefl-
cent work. Farmers Bulletin No. "a
treats of Ducks and Geese; Standard
Breeds and Management" 1t Is the sixty
fourth gift of the Government to the
farmer. He must be as rich now in pocket
as the Department of Agriculture Is in
wisdom.
1t seems that the season for raising ducks
is from February to July. The rest of the
year farmers can raise ostriches, pocket
gophers, woodpeckers, and other friends Of
the Government. There Is honey in ducks,
as the Department of Agriculture says:
"Duck raising is to be m to farmers as
q profitable source of revenue; and by careful atten.
tion to the work, as knowledge increases, the scope
of the industry may be extended. There arc numbers
OF farms in this country to-day that are devoted ex.
oiusively to raising ducks. averaging from 5000 to
10000 ducks as an annual output. An idea Of the
proportions of the business may be had from the fact
that as high az three tons OF feed are used daily by q
single raiser during tho busy season. The profits arc
the very best, and good incomes may be made when
once the business is thoroughly mastered"
Still, the department is prudent. We
cannot all raise ducks. at least, not with
out dust and heat. duck raising is an
arduous task one that requires an appren-
ticeship and absolute knowledge of the
business before success is reached. Those
who have been successful in raising ducks
have learned their business much as one
does any other vocation" Doubtless all
vacations could be learned easily and
cheaply If the Government were properly
encyclopedia and diffused sufficiently its
activity and It's bulletins.
The remarks about ducks and the pic
lures of ducks in Bulletin No. "a are OF
rare interest and beauty, but when the De,
partment of Agriculture talks about geese
1t speaks with authority almost autobio.
graphical. The barn door is wide open.
With bowed head the Government goose
waddles out and on:
while the goose cannot probably be raised In a.
large numbers Al the duck. still 1t cannot Justly be
termed Improbable. There are many places on q
farm that are worthless for cultivation that could bs
utilized with excellent results for goose raising
Fields that have streams, branches, or unused spring
on them could be turned to good advantage by max
Ing them into goose pastures. Many farmers are
pronting by this and adding to their incomes annu
ally. The care and attention necessary for raising

NEW YORK. Dec, 10.

The Fifty-fourth Congress, at it's second
session, passed and sent to the President
m act excluding from future admission to
the United States immigrants who, being
physically capable and over 10 years of
age, cannot read and write the English
language or some other language" Excep-
lions were made in favor of admitting the
illiterate wife, parent, g~randparent, child
or grandchild Of an emigrant, when ac-
~oompanying him or sent for by him.
The Presidents disapproval killed the
measure at that session but, as its funda-
mental principle had received the sane.
Zion OF each house, it was certain to be
revived, and this has now been done In the
Senate. 1t will be conceded, we suppose.
that the reading and writing test is not an
Ideal test. As n former Commissioner
General put it, "the illiterate immigrant
Is not always TO be considered an undesir-
able accession to our population, since he
often proves n more honest, industrious.
and thrifty citizen han many who come
equipped with money and an education"
But II turns out that "A large number of
those who are generally regarded as unde.
sirable additions TO our population are H.
literate, and hence the strong vote that the
measure excluding them received in Con.
gress last winter.

Restricting Labor by Law.

The Fall River cotton manufacturers
have announced a 10 per cent. reduction in
the wages of their hands, to take effect
Jan. l next. The reduction, IL is said, has
been made necessary by the reduction In
the price Of cotton goods. partly caused by
overproduction, but more by the competi-
tion of the cotton factories recently estab-
lished at the South. The wages paid at
the South are less and the hours of labor
are longer. In New England the law for
bids the workmen In a cotton factory to
work more than sixty hours a week, while
at the South he is subject to no limit what
ever. For this reason, and because of
lighter taxation, a pound Of material that
in New England costs @ cents a pound, can
be produced at the South for gig cents.
A similar contrast exists between the
cost of producing machinery in Great
Britain and that of producing it In Ger.
many. In Great Britain machinists work
nine hours q day and six days In the week !;
in Germany they work eleven hours o day
and seven days in the week. The conse.
quence is that the German machine shops

up for his fewer hours Of labor. Lately,
however, the shop.owners resolved to tell
their men that IL they are to keep them
at work they must get more work out
of them for the wage they pay. The work
men, combined In an association called the
Amalgamated Society of Engineers, are
resisting this demand, and have struck for
eight hours a day. Pending the dispute
the employers have suspended operations,
letting their shops stand idle, and the
deadlock thus created has lasted now for
several months, with no prospect of a
speedy end. Back of the question of hours
lies that of the recognition Of the rules of
the Society by the employers, which, also,
has relation to the limitation and the
efficiency Of labor.
We have, thus, both in this country and
in Great Britain, illustrations of the OBJ
stacles which are encountered by efforts to
ameliorate the condition of workingmen
by law or by combinations having the
force of Law. II the whole civilized world
were one great nation, and II natural con-
ditions were uniform everywhere In it,
things might be so regulated as to estab-
lish everywhere uniform wages and hours
OF labor. With, however, nations COM
peting with nations, and one section of a
nation competing with another section, the
problem is a difficult one to solve.

Stealing Peary's Ideas.

Capt. o. N. SvERDRUP, who was one of
DIR. NANsEN's companions on the sledge
journey across the inland Ice of South
Greenland, and, later. commanded the Fran
and brought her safely home after NANsEN
left his vessel, has taken a creditable part
in Arctic exploration. The fact, however,
that he now proposes to occupy the same
Arctic field of research in which Mr.. PEARY
will renew his explorations, next year, is a
species of discourtesy hat Is not common.
Instances are rare where an explorer has
undertaken to compete for the same geo.
graphical laurels with another explorer
who had published his plans and was
about to execute them.
Capt. SvERDRUP Is annoyed by the fact
that his purpose has been criticised as dis
courteous and almost unprecedented. He
has informed the public that he recently
wrote to MIR. PEARY that he would not aim
to reach the pole, put only to study the
paleocrystic Ice and explore the land
masses in the neighborhood of north
Greenland. This is. In fact, a large part of
the work which MIR. PEARY himself pro-
poses to do. In his address to the Royal
Geographical Society, on Nov. 8, President
Sir C. II. MARKHAM said:
NJ PEARr intends to adopt the plan OF taking
Eskimo families up Smith Sound and. with their aid.
TO discover the most northern land TO the north OF
Greenland. Capt. syERDRUP is fitting out the Fran
also with the intention OF proceeding up Smith Sound
and exploring the unknown part OF the north coast OF
Greenland"

The second is to take up the story and

with a fitting tribute to the last Mayor. A

no difficulty in finding a hall sufficiently

room big enough to hold the three orators
will do. Less suffering will be caused to
the community the smaller it is.
The most humane plan would be for the
orators to read to a typewriter only their
extracts from the c~yclopedias and the
statistical reports of the Chamber of Com
merce, for Mayor STRoNG's scheme includes
the embalming of their dreariness /" in o
volume hat will be valued more a hun
dred years hence than at present." The
sympathies of this generation cannot ex-
tend to their successors Of q century hence
80 keenly that they will feel called upon to
spare them such an infiction. So long as
they themselves escape from it they will
leave their descendants to look out for
themselves. A hundred years from now,
too, there may be q curious interest in
looking back to the proceedings of this
wake conducted by the last and goutiest
Mayor of the nucleus of the greatest and
most powerful capital Of the world.
This memorial volume will contain, Of
course. portraits Of all the leading Mug.
wumps of Manhattan Island. They can be
printed from the old plates used in the self
celebration of the Committee of Seventy's
prowess in obtaining public offices, or in
other volumes in which Mugwumps have
perpetuated their features for the admira-
ton of posterity. Doubtless the pictured
Mugwumps would pay the cost and feel
themselves amply recompensed by the adj
vertisement.
All this, as we have intimated, can be
done without casting ~incongruous gloom
over the festivities of the opening day of
the new year. Mayor SrRoNG's company
of mourners can thus preserve the tears
they shed in the privacy of their own cham.
bers, and there will be no sound of Earring
hilarity to interfere with their enjoyment
of the luxury of woe. Meanwhile, the rest
of the public can proceed to celebrate the
day like rational human beings.
Anyway, for heavens sake, spare us the
actual public delivery of the three dreadful
orations
