THERE is no cause for rejoicing in
the fact that the value of silver is de
creasing quite rapidly and is liable to
further decline. We should not invite
evil nor welcome it for the pleasure it
affords us to say Il told you So" It
is certain taat the decline of silver is
by no means 3 injurious as its free
coinage would be. But it is injurious
to the interests of the country. A
great deal of our currency is silver
and loss in intrinsic value makes more
difficult the task government has in
maintaining it at a parity with gold.
Silver is very important product of
this country which is the chief source
of supply. 1t will always have its
uses as money, but these uses will suf
fer limitation by its great deprecia
ton. Passionate partisans inject ha
tired into their feelings toward gold
while others with like constitutional
defect have sentimental dislike for
silver. The study should be to find
the proper uses for each and treat
both fairly.

The exports of manufactured goods
from the United States are for the fis-
cal year ending June 30, 1897, about
40 per cent. greater than for the year
1892, when the Mckinley law WAS in eff
feet The Wilson law recognized the
need of reaching out for the markets of
the world and not restrict trade to our
selves. The advocates of free trade
could not 60 to the extent they desir-
ed in the enactment of a tariff law
and the law which bears Wilson s
name was only half measure. But
1t has done a great deal toward ex-
tending the markets of the American
producer and manufacturer.
The policy now under the Dingley
law is to abandon this market and re-
coup the manufacturer by enabling
him to charge higher prices for his
wares at home. Lessen the product
and increase the profit This keeps
factories IDLE or lessons their output
and In either case labor suffers.

THERE are some people, residents of
this city, who have a chronic habit of
discrediting Nanitowoc as market
for agricultural produce, and want to
know why Milwaukee prices are not
paid. When wheat sold at one dollar
per bushel in Milwaukee it brought
Sc cents here. 1t must be understood
that SO cents was the prevailing price
for delivered wheat. True one dollar
was paid for some cash wheat in NIL
waukee but that was for instant use
by mill. There are no dealings in
futures In Manitowoc. These are al
ways higher than cash wheat, as stor
age, interest on money and prospects
are considered. There is no wheat
put in Manitowoc, nor is there any
specializing, so that future prices are
never quoted. 1t is possible for De
cember wheat to sell in Milwaukee
for $l.25. while cash wheat will bring
only 81 cents. All these things are to
be considered when t6e>aharacter OF
the Manitowoc market is under dis
| cussiOn.

THERE Is a growing belief that law
their merits as on the ability of witnesses
to testify favorably for the side in which
they take an interest. The lItigant who
can tell n plausible story usually makes
a strong impression upon the jury. who
have no means of determining whether
he is truthful OF not, eX,ept insofar, as
his testimony can be broken down by
Cross examination or discredited by other
witnesses. Lawyers conuive at the prac
tlce OF witnesses IN withholding part Of
the truth. And even If the fountain of
truth Is not touched 1t all, the victory
secured is regarded as full ompensat;cn
for the moral derelIctlon. 1t is not 80
long ago that sworn testimony was gen.
orally accepted AS the truth and With good
reason. Not much importance Is now
attached to evidence except to the extent
that court machinery requires.
Witnesses are instructed 80 much by
attorneys that they imperceptibly drift
into the channel OF unqualified nntruth.
A little tampering with truth Is like the
letting out OF water.
To show the tendency toward the per
version of justice by reason OF the d1sre-
GARD OF TRUTH case which occurred in
Chippewa county, this state, may be cited.
A man named Fritzen had shot a deer out
of season and was arrested for so doin,.
Two boys ore 4 the other IA years of age,
saw him skin the deer and cut 1t up. The
Justice OF the peace before whom the case
was tried wrote the father of the BOYS to
instruct them to swear falsely to the end
that the violator Of the game law might
be acquitted. Not only this but he and
the constable who served the papers
threatened the boys with dire conseauen
ces it thew should tell the truth.
Justice will soon be jade if this pal
terlng with the truth is not discontinued.
Consultations between clients and their
attorneys should not be privileged from
inquiry to the extent at least of learning
the changed aspect the facts have taken
by reason of such consultation.

occasion no surprise to those who have
knowledge OF Mr.. Legler's felicitous STYLE

The injunctions issued by Judge
jackson are having just the effect
which could easily have been foreseen.
The people against whom they are
aimed are disposed to disregard them.
There is one thing the American peo-
pie cannot be charged with and that
Is defiance of the order of courts. But
1T Is coming and because of the abuse
by judges of the powers granted them.
When courts are discredited anarchy
makes progress. Unfortunately, the
courts are respontible for this condi-
ton themselves.

But not word OF remonstrance come

THERE is a probability that Mexico
will soon adopt the gold standard.
The difficulties attendant upon mon
etary standard different from that of
other nations have been painfully i'm
pressed upon the Mexican govern
ment by the depreciation of silver.
The government is now buying bar
gold and it Is thought this is the first
step toward the adoption of the gold
standard. As Mexico's foreign trade
increases, difficulties with the silver
standard will multiply.
