THE DRIFT TOWARD GOLD.

Silver Nations Are Gradually Coming
to the Gold Standard.
While Mr.. Bryan and his associates,
refusing to accept the verdict of last
November, are looking forward hope
fully to renewing what they call the
"battle for silver" at the next congress
sional elections; while bimetallic
commission has just been appointed to
visit the European governments in the
interest of international bin,etallism,
there may be perceived all over the
world an unmistalable drift toward the
single standard of gold. Since the ap-
pointment of the United States COM
n,issioners the dispatches from Europe
less, and that there is no more probabili-
ty of those governments returning to
bimetallism than there is of their re-
turning to fintlocll muskcts for their
armies. The latest announcement is
from Russia, which is to the effect that
she is irrcvocably committed to the gold
standard.
But it is not in Europe alone that
this tendency is observable. The wis
dom and apparent case with which the
Japanese government has planned the
adoption of the gold standard is one of
the marvels of modern craftsmanship
and marks the people as among the
most sagacious nations of the earth.
Laggard China also seems to be awall-
ing from her silver dream of isolation
and is anxious to have the customs du-
ties at the treaty ports placed on the
gold basis, as they substantially were
when the treaties were made. The de-
probation of silver has greatly crippled
her revenues, ana now that she is com.
ing into closer financial connection with
Russia it may be assumed that her
finances will be conformed to the gold
standard.
If VIC turn from the far orient to our
own hemisphere, we will perceive a
stirring in the Central and South Amer
lean states to reform their monetary
system and escape the losses entailed
by an inferior and deprecated currency.
A dispatch few days since from Lima
informed us that Peru had not only sus-
pended silver coinage but had passed a
AZ" oiiS ttNioil VI oii'Il {.
Columbia has adopted the gold stand
ard, while Chill, Uruguay and Brazil
make gold unlimited legal tender and
silver in but limited sums. In Hon
duras, San Salvador, Costa Rica and
Santo Domingo the gold standard has
been established by law, though a de-
preciated paper currency prevents the
circulation of gold at present. These
movements go to show that those ma
tons who are in touch with European
| trade and commerce feel the necessity
| of having the same monetary system
and that their people are at a disadvan-
tagc because Of their fuctuating and
deprecated home currencics.
! And yet while these nations, admit.
tedly our interiors in wealth and in
physical and intellectual progress, are
struggling out of the bonds that hold
them back there are those among us
who would imperil our vast wealth and
commerce by plunging us down to the
silver standard. What must the nations
of the world think of such leadership

The National Financial School,

The National Financial school is the
name of an organization which is maxi
ing some hcadway in the middle north
ern states and perhaps also in other
sections of the country. It's ostensible
object is to conduct nonpartisan study
of American finance. Its prospectus,
however, contains some expressions
such as "restoration of 4 thoroughly
American financial policy" which indi-
Gates the real object of the promoters.
The organization was recently extended
into Boone county, Ind, where seven
financial schools besides the advance
school" and the county school" are
now in operation, each with presidents,
secretaries, instructors and directors.
These financial schools should be en-
couragcd by all sound money men and
orga nizations. There is no more GER
tain way of ridding the country of the
sixteen-to-onc-er than by educating the
voters on the money question. If the
schools are real schools and not merely
lecture looms, there cannot be too many
of them. AS they are nonpartisan, books
and literature on both sides of the sill
ypr question should be provided for
their use. In this connection the sound

multitude of people, numbering about
7,OOO crowded into Convention Hall yes
terday afternoon and joined in an enthu-
siastic celebration of the return of peace
and the magnificent triumphs of Ameri-
can arms during the late war against
Spain.
Long before the hour for the beginning
of the jubilee the thoroughfares leading
to the great hall were thronged with per-
sons eager to contribute TO the success of
the undertaking. and notwithstanding the
unfayorable weather the building was
densely crowded before the opening of
the exercises.
The occasion for such an outpouring of
citizens was indeed a rare one and such
as is seldom offered to the people of any
American community. Only at widely
separated intervals is 1t the peace loving
citizens of America resolve to unsheath
the sword of conflict. and it is only at
correspondingly infrequent intervals that
the opportunity is afforded for a jubilee
such as was held yesterday afternoon.
The sight within the hall after the
people had assembled was an inspiring
one. Every available foot of space was
utilized to accommodate the vast crowd
and the aisies and sides of the building
were filed with spectators. Along the
west wall was large platform with ac-
commodations for one hundred invited
guests and the Moody chorus of five hun
dred voices

A gentleman who went out with
Stanley to Africa took with him num-
Der of birdcages, in which he hoped to
bring back some specimens of the rarer
birds of the interior. Owing to the
death Of his carriers he was obliged to
throw away the birdcages with num-
Der of other articles. These were seized
by the natives in great glee, though
they did not know what to do with
them, but they eventually decided that
the small circular cages were kind of
headgear, and, knocking off the bottom,
the chiefs strutted about in them with
evident pride. One chief. thinking him
self more wise than the others and hav-
ing seen the white men eat at table out
of dishes, thought they were receptacles
for food and took his meals from one,
tremendously opening and shutting the
door between each mouthful.
