The sound Money proparantl..

The decision of the silver men to con-
tinue their fight for the SO cent dollar,
despite the emphatic verdict of the peo-
pie in November, is appropriately fol
lowed by the organization in New York
Of sound money league, which is to be
national in its character and in the
scope Of its work. From this time on
till the next presidential election the
dissemination of money facts and cor
rect views as to money is to be contin-
ued.
The most efficient agency of the last
campaign was the sound currency COM
mittee of the New York Reform club,
and its publications, each given to
some one phase of the currency ques-
ton, We're Invaluable to speakers and
writers. A sound basis for currency re-
form was thus laid in the minds of thou
sands who were cropping after the truth.
These publications., it is stated, are to
continue. An effort is to be made TO
widen the field of operations by class
of writings of more popular character.
In the south and west particularly hon
est thinkers are to be supplied with ma
terinl for progressive thought toward
sound conclusions on the money ques
ton.
Much was done in six months of
1895 to uproot the erroneous ideas
planted in five years of populist agita-
ZION. Errors had fourished simply be-
cause they had not been confronted with
fact. Now monetary truth is to be as
systematically inculcated as fallacy was,
and the result cannot but be most
wholesome. Sun.

ADOPTS THE GOLD STAND
ARD.

Aftsf Four Years of Investigation Japan
Decides to Discard Silver.
On March it was cabled from Yoko-
hama that Japan had decided to adopt
the gold standard at a ratio OF 3215 to
i. the new standard to go into operation
In October.
This act, on top Of many previous
ones, moves Japan completely out Of the
ranks Of the seni-civilized and into those
of civilized and progressive nations. 1t
was not taken hastily, but after two
years consideration Of an exhaustive re-
port made by the japanese currency
commission, appointed in 1903.
This commission found that, while
certain capitalists, especially those EN-
ploying many laborers, were benefited
by the falling silver standard. the
wage earners were injured from the
fact that their wages did not rise us
fast as did the prices of what they
had to buy. The report pointed out
what every rational trader ought to
know-that silver standard country
can trade and compete with gold stand
ard countries only after paying the loss
on exchange in foreign trade. However.
as the greater part of .Tapan's trade was
with China and India, the two countries
of Asia still using the silver standard,
the disadvantage on this account was
not considered great.
The silverites have lost with Japan
some of their best capital OF course
they will tell us how British gold"
was used to bride tine government into
betraying its people into the hands of
the money power. They cannot, how
ever, much longer tell us that we are
unable to compete with Japan because
she uses the silver standard.
The truth is that Japan got tired of
being second rate nation aud of work
ing with second rate tools, and, after
careful investigation, concluded to get
nd of free coinage at ordinary ratios,
which drives gold out of the country as
fast as it can be coined and which re-
suits in the single silver standard. and
to adopt the gold standard ut a ratio
with silver which will permit the use of
both metals in her trade. 1t is wise
step. japan is only one Of four or five
nations which have adopted the gold
standard during the last 10 months
