80 declares that bimeta ',ism would be-
objectionable, not because the parity
between the two rnetals could not be
maintained, but because the present
artifcially created value OF gold could
not be maintained. Here are his very
words:
''Supposing the proposal succeeded.
It's effect would be in all parts of the
British empire and all gold standard
countries that the standard of value
would be altered, enabling debtors to
discharge gold debts with silver at the
ratio of 1914 to ], because any one could
take silver to the French or American
minis and get it coined into francs OF
dollars, which, on the hypothesis tha'
the plan succeeds and stable exchange
is secured, would be worth in the mar
kets Of the world, including London
in gold 1t would enable the United
States or the French government, sup
posing them to owe debts abroad, to
use the enormous stocks of silver they
possess in paying those debts with less
than half the silver with which they
could now pay them.
''Such change would be good for
neither India nor any other country
which values common honesty. Such
a change would be most injurious to
Great Britain and the British empire"
He declares that the ratio of fifteen
and a half to one would mean that
the present gold value Of silver would
have to be increased one hundred and
twenty-five per cent" This is not the
correct way to state the change which
would occur. 1t is true that the value

Of the former. Out 81 all England he
was one Of the six chosen to uphold
the gold standard cause. We repeat,
therefore, that he must be accepted as
a high authority. He stands to-day, as
he did then. Alarmed by the sugges-
ticn that the Bank of England may
admit silver as a part of its reserve,
he rushes to the defense of an exclu-
sive gold reserve, and. fearful lest the
Bank Of England may influence the
public mind in some degree to believe
that the gold standard party regards
silver still as one of the precious met
ais, he proceeds to attempt the an
Inhalation Of that metal. He will not
have it used as money, even if it could
be maintained at parity of fifteen
and a half to one. If an internation-
al plan could be suggested that would
secure in the markets Of the world
permanent relations between gold and
silver, making silver at all times
worth one fifteenth. and half Of it's
weight in gold, still he would have
nothing to do with it. It would be
opposed to common honesty and
would be most injurious to Great
Britain and the British Empire"
Hitherto, monometallists have all in
sisted that, until all nations could come
into the agreement, the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver would not restore
the parity. Over and over again they
have been answered that the free and

THE CRAZE FOR ATHLETICS
From the Syracuse Post.

From the Syracuse Post.
The truth OF the matter is that mod
ern college athletics has become a craze.
The large institutions like Yale. Harvard,
princeton and University of Pennsylva-
MIA spend small fortunes every year in
developing athletes to the point of pro-
fcssional htness for the different con-
tests in which they engage. The aver
age student who is not broad-chested
strong-lmbed and in fine physical condi-
tion, and is, therefore, in all the more
need of physical training, is not the man
who is selected for the foot ball eleven, or
seat in the varsity boat, or a position
on the ball nine. The men who are given
the thorough training for these various
team positions are the men who least of
all need it. College athletics. TO be of
general advantage, should take i'm all
college men. The sport should be such
that the weak as well as the strong can
engage in IL. The stimulus and excite
ment Of the athletic field should be dis
tributed through the entire student body
and not be enjoyed by the select few who
pass the critical tests of the coach and
the trainer as the fittest men for the va
rious teams. Athletics in the larger uni
versitles today is in danger OF over
shadowing the real purpose for which
young men go to college.
