at the feet of his wife. who was
with him, lingering in great
agony for two hours and then
passing away at 3 o'clock this
afternoon, with the cry OF Long

The Premier went to Santa

San Sebastian to meet United

The assassin was Immediately
arrested. He is a Neapolitan and

the premiership and was succeed

his colleagues the principal as

opposition raised to the policy OF
Campos soon forced him to retire.
Senior Canovas skillfully resisted

Government Must Control Mines.

The Bankers Magazine for March
finds the origin of our present troubles
about silver in the demand that the
ratio of its value to gold shall be deter
mined by the government. 1t is, how
ever, no proper part of the duty of the
government to try to fix the ratio of
values of the two metals
Being" says The Bankers Maya
zine, commodities as we'll as money,
and being commodities before and after
they are money, and being money sim
ply and only because they are commodi-
ties, and being commodities because
they have recognized and intrinsic value
independent of any action of govern
ment, and even in the absence of govern
ment, and being therefore severally sub
ject to all the laws of commodities, the
law of variable supply and demand and
value among others, and these varia-
lions not being uniform for both metals,
it is impossible that government can
ever fix the ratio of their value.
eff, however, it should be insisted
that it is the function and duty of gov
eminent to (try to) fix the ratio of their
values, it would seem to follow as a
logical consequence that, since their
relative value depends absolutely ON the
relative supply of the two metals it is
INT pituitary anu p1aIH uu1y VI SONSIH-
ment to fix (regulate) their supply by
controlling and operating the gold and
silver mines. the sources of their pro-
ductiCn. 1t should do both things or
neither, and it is preferable that it
should do neither. 1t is folly to expect it
to do the former without doing the lat
ter
This is the truth of the matter in
nutshell. Unless the government first
acquires all the mines in the world and
decides how much silver and how much
gold are to be produced yearly, it is i'm
possible to maintain a ratio after it is
fixed. . France fixed it SO times,
but it would not stay fixed, and France
has at length abandoned tie effort. The
United States has also tried the expert
ment several times without success. 1t
is time the theorists We're letting the
matter alone.

Our Monetary Disease.

To safely and permanently maintain
the gold standard requires the remod-
cling of our finances. The disease is the
character of the money in the treasury
and in the pockets Of the people. 1t is
in banking system which congests cur
rency in commercial centers while Gre
ating dearth in country districts,
which issues currency which cannot
expand when it ought and can when
there is no necessity. 1t is in compel
ling the maintenance Of 500, 900, 900
gold reserve to float vast volume of
paper money by the government, which
cannot regulate it's issues to meet the
needs of commerce.
The disease cannot be cured by any
makeshift.- Donelson Gallery
