more cherries than can be marketed or

money, and thereby the value of all
goods in the debtor country, com
pared with the creditors money.
Hence there is stimulus to the ex-
port of those goods which are suita-
BILE for the creditor country, and the
money of the debtor country is not
acted upon at all, although it is one
of the first things to be acted on, as
we have seen, when the debtor
country has the same money as its
creditor
One word in conclusion. 1t will
be most unfortunate if out of this
war any friction should arise with
your great sister republic. The
United States and France were pre-
pared for free coinage, if the Indian
mints were also opened. These
mints, which an imbecile admins
tration at Simla would not open con-
currently with France and the Unit
ed States, it is now almost certain
whether little sooner or a little lat
er, circumstances will compel to re-
open alone. When that is done,
free silver in the United States may
clearly synchronise with free silver
in France. 1t appears to me there
for, at this distance, that the aban-
donment of this frantic effort to give
India a gold currency, and the re-
turn to the free coinage of silver at
the Indian mints, removes the very
greatest danger to the welfare Of
nations. And it is an operation also
which simplifes the political situa-
ton in your country. For had the
Indian mints remained closed, then
in the event of single handed free
coinage in the United States, the
Indian government would have
melted and sold to your mints in ex-
change for your gold very large
sums of rupees, thus certainly en-
dangering your prospects of parity
with free coinage. But the Indian
mints once opened there must re-
suit very importont advance in the
price of silver, so that your "ffty-
cent dollar" will become at least a
''sixty-fve cent dollar" And Mr..
Mckinley, whose desire to settle
this great question, we all appreci-
ate, will have probably two years in
which to obtain the adhesion of
Frrnce, as we'll as to obtain sub.
scriptions on the part of other coun'
tries. Should he, however, have
failed to secure this international
settlement before 1900, then with
the Indian mints running free, and
with the price of silver very sub
stantially higher than to-day, your
nation can 60 singlehanded to free
coinage without those perils in re-
sumption, whether real or magma
ry, which were so vividly depicted
to us in the campaign of 1896.

THE LOVE OF BOOKS, with YalediC
tory.
BY LYDIA WAY VALENTINE

|
(Oration delivered at the commence
ment exercises of the Neihart High
School, May 27, 1899
Very few of us have grown to realize
the Importance of love for good books
The value of good book can not be
estimated. We talk with our neighbors
upon the transient subjects of life, the
varied thoughts of the hour, or upon the
| limited experiences of single life. Ina
good book we commune with the wise
and great of earth. We think their
| thoughts, review their observations and
experiences, and confer with the men,
not of a generation, but of an age. A
good book acquaints its reader with a
great author, whose companionship lifts
| the mind of the reader above the com
monplace things of earth into an atmos.
phere of sublime truth, of more hallowed
existence.
How often have the destinies of men
and of women been shaped by chance
contact with books. Irving read Addi-
sons Spectator, and upon it built the
most splendid edifice of historic and
semi historic works printed in English.
Lincoln read Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Prog
ress" and made it his life's study.
Thus vas the sturdy character
of the great Emancipator nodded
and fashioned in simplicity and gentle
ness of that of child. Borrowed from
Bunyan's majestic character of Christian
Lincoln presents us the personality of
goodness in high position -invincible
before the strong, yet keenly sympathetic
toward the weak. And SO filled was the
land with his tender influence that when
he wept, nation mourned. The immor.
tai Garfield was daily reader of the
word of God. And inspired by the grand
lessons in character promulgated by onr
Savior, he said: IF / cannot be both
good and great, l will at least be good"
Speaking of the love of good books,
the question natura,y arises: "What are
good books?" Some one has said: THAT
book is good which does you good. That
book is bad which in any way lowers
your tone of mind, morals and manners" 4"
An important fact to be realized at the
present time is that many readers are in
danger of wasting their time upon books
that are too new, rather than studying g
the literature which has been handed
down through the ages. Ruskin marks
this distinction when he says:"All books
are divisible into two classes, the books
OF the hour and the books of all time.
And this distinction is not alone of
quality. 1t is not merely the good book
that endures; nor yet merely the bad
that passes away. 1t is distinction of
species. There are good books of the
hour, and good books of all time. And
tn ere are bad books of the hour and bad

Editor Post-Although to-day
mems minds on your side of the sea
and even on ours, are occupied with
the war to the exclusion of all else,
yet whether that war lasts six weeks
or six months, the end is in sight.
But the "Battle of the Standards"
has yet to be fought to finish, and
as the news from London is extreme
ly interesting | need make no apol-
ogies for asking your attention to
the latest and most Kaleidoscope de-
velopment.
| need not do more than refer to
the closing of the Indian mint June,
1893, when the gold price of silver
bullion fell in consequence about %
per cent inside of four days. 1t was
this debacle that made possible the
repeal of the Sherman act. In Oct
ober last the Wolcott commission
proposed, with the consent of the
French government, the opening of
the mints of the United States and
France to both metals at | to 155,
and the reopening of the In lian
mints to the free coinage of silver
rupees. To the amazement of every
financial expert the offer was refus-
ed by the government of India in a
dispatch which left us all betwixt
laughter and tears. And for six
months past, in spite of the protests
of the commercial classes in India,
it had become evident that the In
dian executive was hurrying matters
forward to gold standard and cur
rency. The present position in In
dia is admittedly intolerable; a
starved currency, strangled export
trade, and such a scramble for ac-
commodation that rupees have been
lent in Bombay on the security of
gold bars at the rate of two per cent
per month! So terrific has been the
strain that it had evidently become
necessary either to go forward to
gold or to GO back to free silver.
Lord George Hamilton, the secre
tary of state for India, who has been
very seriously discredited by the
events of the past six months, de-
clared in the house Of commons that
to reopen the mints of India would
be an ''act of lunacy," and while he
agreed to appoint a currency com
mission to consider the gold stand
ard recommendation of the govern
ment of India, yet when the men,
bers of that commission had been
nominated, it was found to have
been packed with the Indian official
class, and with a few such selected
merchants as had publicly or pri-
yately declared themselves in ad-
vance for gold. If ever there was a
com mission that could be relied up
ON to report according to orders,
here indeed was the commission
This commission then was appointed
scarcely three weeks since, and vet
during that short interval Lombard
street has destroyed the entire cur

LETTER FROM MORETON FREWEN
The Great English Bi-Metallist
Sees q Star in the Eastern
Horizon for Silver,

The following letter from More
ton Frewen, published in the Wash
ington Post, shows how third at
tempt to fasten the gold standard
upon India is about to fail, as did
two previous efforts. Mr.. Frewen
thinks that with only the India mints
open, the price of silver would ad-
vance to 70 cents an ounce. Under
such conditions silver bullion,
bought at 70 cents an ounce, would
be coined into rupees at a ratio of
10 to /, equivalent to s1.4O an
ounce and yielding the Indian mint
a coinage profit Of 100 per cent
English territory yields practically
no silver, yet as that government
would require silver, it is to her in
terest to depress its price, which is
done by keeping closed the mints of
other nations. Two things profit.
able to England are thus accom-
plished: first, a coinage profit of 70
cents an ounce; second, difference
in sterling exchange that in effect is
a bounty on India's exports of
wheat, cotton, etc.-an artificial ad-
vantage for competitor, at our ex
pense. With the United States
mints open to the coinage of silver
on equal terms with gold, our wheat
and cotton producers would compete
on equal terms with India and our
miners receive $1.29 cents an ounce
for silver, instead of the SO cents
now or the promised 70 cents with
the Indian mints opened. Mr..
Frewen's letter is as follows:
