When the government buys sill
yer at a certain price and coming
it Into dollars puts II out at higher
price represented by its stamp the
government is evidently a money
maker so long as the stamp and not
the actual market value of the
price of silver Is accepted, for all
practical purposes, as real value.
The difference between the bull
lion value of silver and its value
upon being made into Uncle Sans S
dollars is known as the seigniorage.
Under the Wolcott amendment to
the war revenue bill passed by the
Senate, it is proposed to "coin the
seigniorage" represented by the
difference between the value of
the silver bullion purchased under
the act of July ID, 1890, and yet
uncoined and the value of the
same quantity of silver when made
into discs on which the dollar mark
of Uncle Sam is cast. This seign-
forage, or gain, over and above
the dollars which will be required
to pay for the original bullion, is
estimated at about S42, ,ooo, 900 and
against this that amount of silver
certificates will be issued and add
ed TO the currency with the seign-
forage as it backing. Of course,
this seigniorage is really no back
ing at all. 1t is simply the differ
ence between the governments
say-so and cold figures and the
whole transaction amounts only to
an imitation by the quantity of
$42, 900, 900 of silver certificates.
Because the sum is so trivial
such imitation would not be
serious, absurd as it is in principle.
Coming the seigniorage" indeed,
bears about the same relation
to well grounded financial pro-
cesses as hoisting yourself by
your boot straps bears to the law
of gravitation, or the familiar dem
onstration that is equal to does
to mathematics. Laughable, too,
is The operation required to put
such a project into force, for the
government is required to coin the
bullion into millions of silver dol
lars which will never be called for
any more than would the pigs of
silver. But this is evidently nec-
essary to give the chunks of silver
their increased value against which
increase the $42, 900, 900 silver GER
tifcates is proposed to be issued.
Except to the fancy of an intellect
enraptured by the beauties of the
coming the seigniorage" propo-
sitiop it would plainly be a more
sane performance to issue the cer-
tifcates as representing the coinage
value of the bullion without going
to the cost and bother of the actual
coinage, the manufacture of the
millions OF silver discs which will
simply have to be stored just as
the bullion is now stored. But the
advocates of this kind of money
are very particular to have
the fiat plainly marked on the sill
yer before fiat paper is issued
against it. And it must be ad-
mitted that the whole folly is thus

Ballad Of the Philippines.

Sweet Laura now the cypress twines
And fur her heart must roam,
For Philips in the Philippines
And Philip pines for home.
A lovely maiden all forlorn,
No Joy her sorrow checks.
Each night shc sighs till Dewey morn
shines on the Dewey decks.
And Philip sighs from dark TO dawn,
BY sad misfortune schcoled,
And writes eight saffron pages on
Manila wrapping truledl
'Come back" she cries. "where love reclines
Far o'er tho oceans foaml"
And Philips in the PHILIPPINES
And Philip pines for home.

Sutton Vane's latest play, I'm Sight of

Opera-house last night to a well-filled
house. The event was marked by the first
appearance at that theater of Adele Bel
garde, the talented actress. who was lead
ing lady for Frederick Warde for several
seasons. She assumed the character of
Cynthia Dell, the Panther" and played
1t with such feeling and dramatic force
as to rouse the audience to flattering ex-
pressions of their approval. She has lost
none of her old-time charm, and it is to
be regretted that she is not seen oftener
by those who admire her talents Lorena
Atwood as the heroine, Aileen Miller, was
as usual clever and effective. and Marie
Winston, the soubrette, was pleasing as
Becky Vetch. James NJ. Brophy was the
maligned but indicated hero, and Ian
ders Stevens the polished villain. Both
sustained their parts creditably. Max Won
Mftzel had cOngenial part as Gillie
Fletcher, and James Corrigan as the suf-
fering father was worthy of praise. Fred
j. Butler had a small part, but interpreted
1t with his usual tact and intelligence. The
scenery is excellent

profession all over the world. 1t has re-
ceived written recommendations from
more than 5000 American physicians.
Mariani Wine soothes, strengthens
and sustains the system and braces
body and brain. 1t gives strength;
therefore may it be described as the
conqueror of disease and the promoter
of health and longevity.
Mariani Wine is specially indicated
for malaria, fever and ague and all
miasmatic fevers, 1t promptly dispels
chills, abates malarial fever, and gives
a sense of buoyancy and vigor.
Mariani Wine is Furthermore of es-
pecial value in cases of Neuralgia, Ner-
vous Debility, Muscular Relaxation.
Mental and Physical Depression and
Exhaustion, Overwork or Overstrain,
Insomnia, Headache, Nervous Dyspep-
STA, Loss OF Appetite, Emaciation and
