Mr.. Robert Anderson. Of Idaho Falls,
has contributed q strong and well-writ-
ten article 70 Money" non-psrtisan

iIon: Can Greenbacks be Cancelled
With Silver al Commercial valueg''
After answering in part the 0ft-re-
pcaied statement that financial embar-
rassment will follow the resumption Of
free coinage Of silver, Mr. Anderson
says:
"If silver Is TO be restored, IL remains
70 search out the modas opcrandi that
would promise TO minimize, as much as
possible. the apprehended disturbance
10 trade during the transition period.
Some plan must be devised, II possible,
by which such q change would be grad
ual: by which no shock could be ex-
perienced. That Is q consummation 20
be devoutly wished ana carefully plan
ned. And with this end In view the
following suggestions were submitted
for the consideration Of the Monetary
Commission:
sill Let the Secretary Of the Treas
ury announce weekly the commercial
value Of silver.
ai2) Any one may take not less than
$500 commercial valuel OF silver to the
U. 5. Treasury and get non-interest
bearing receipt for the deposit of $500
In silver or inultiples Of that amount.
'q3D These receipts to be redeemable
by the Treasury at their face value In
any kind OF legal tender money, at the
option of the Treasury, including sill
yer coin at 10 TO !, and to be receivable
by the government for all dues.
.t4l National banks may use these
receipts for a reserve fund In place OF
government bonds, and issue notes for
90 per cent. OF their face value.
'I5) Grcenbacks 70 be Cancelled pro
rata with The nttcrancc OF these silver
receipts. d
i "The advantages Of such a plan are
not hard to see. There can be no claim
OF favoritism to silver mine owners
for they would under the plan receive
only the commercial value OF their sill
yer. There could be no cry against q
cent dollars, for every dollar ISSUED
would be paid for with the full com
mercial value OF the silver exchanged
for IL. The Treasury would also undo'
; such plan reap a large gain IN tn
appreciation OF silver, until the parity
OF the two metals was restored Ut tn'
! old ratio"

Mortgages aggregating about s65. 600
have been filed in the Office OF the

OF Boise, is the mortgagor and the Bun

one man ever before filed such heavy
mortgage in the history OF Ada county.
About $4,000 OF these mortgages were
TO take up old mortgages held by the
Bunnell-Eno company, the remainder
representing money just borrowed. Few
men could command SO much money on

Dubois In Boise City.

Ex-senator Fred Dubois has reason
10 feel proud over the reception be met
In the Presbyterian church on Thurs
day eve, the occasion Of his lecture on
the Sandwich Islands The church was
not only packed with the best people of
Boise, but hundreds Of ladies and gem
tlemen, unable to obtain seats, had to
return home in disappointment The
number who desired TO hear the distin-
guished gentleman would have over
flowed either OF the opera houses. The
rostrum is new TO Mr.. Dubois, but not
withstanding this he started on in an
easy, graceful conversational style and
held his hearers in deep interest to the
close.
In giving the history and present
status Of the Islands he advanced much
that was strong and new to show that il
would be unwise and a stroke of bad
policy for the United States TO annex
those dots of the ocean. distant from
our nearest seaport 1850 miles. His eff
fort was intensely interesting and sent
those fortunate enough TO hear it tC
their homes most highly delighted
Portions of his lecture were worthy
of place in the lasting literature of tbs
country.
His appearance on the r,strum here
proved another thing, namely: That b,
