trade and its vast expansion, bringing our
people into close relations with the leading
nations of the world, makes it imperative
That the standard of value in which settle
-enents are made shall be the best known to
the highest civilization, and shall safely
appeal 10 the Intelligent and successful ex-
perienee. Recent events, shaped by causes
beyond our control, bearing obligations
which national honor requires shall be
courageously discharged, open new fields
for American craftsmanship. Channels of
and avenues of commerce yet to welcome
American products will surely result. Such
conditions emphasize the necessity for a
standard of value which shall remain firm
throughout the vicissltudes of comparative
trade. Its permanency and stability should
be above suspicion. Its security should be
absolute. Some question of expedience
might be raised if the proposition were new
or we were assuming position at variance
with other nations. But the gold standard
is recognized by all leading nations, and
policy followed by the United States for
over sixty years, so reinforced and plainly
expressed that the question will be placed
forever beyond dispute"
The fact is pointed out that the. treasury
at the beginning of October had a net gold
reserve of more than $3.50 OO0,O 900, and that
there IS more gold in the United States
now than ever before. The advantages
which this situation creates are thus de-

Present Conditions

1.-THE present conditions are most favora-
bile and the time most opportune for the
clear and unequivocal adoption of the gold
standard.
III, under all these conditions, the United
States snail clearly, by law, adopt the gold
standard, it will pass to the new condition
with even less friction than was expert
enced by the resumption of specie pay
ment. The government is fortunate in be-
ing able to complete such an important
matter under such favorable eXigencies.
In the absence of law providing protec-
ton to the gold reserve it is always sub
ject to encroachment in expenditures to
meet the general expenses of the govern
ment. Whenever such encroachment APP
pears probable, fear has arisen that the
government may not be able to meet its
demand obligation and run upon the re-
serve for the redemption of the demand
notes follow. The situation is responsible
for the so-called endless chain by separa-
rating the reserve fund from the general
fund and prohibiting It's use except for re-
demption of United States notes and treas
ury notes, the dangers to which 1t has been
so greatly subjected will be removed. These
demand notes are being redeemed in gold
now and always have been. and no addi-
ment. 1t is sought to simplify and legalize
the practice and create division in the
treasury where the whole business COM

The Gold Standard

Section of the bill seeks to provide a
complete safeguard to guarantee the perm
anent maintenance of the gold standard, by
authorizing the secretary of the treasury
whenever it is necessary for such mainten-
ance to issue and sell bonds of the United
States should the secretary of the treasury
deem such action necessary to maintain the
parity and equal value of all money of the
United States. The legalizing of the gold
all forms of money at a parity with the
standard will so remove all doubt of the
soundness and integrity of our money that
there will be little occasion for the exchange
for one kind of money for another And
yet in order to make complete guaranty
against any contingency which may arise
authority to the secretary of the treasury
to meet such emergencies by the sale Of
bonds or the exchange of any money is
sued or coined by the United States is
deemed advisable.
The provision in this section Is that no
note or certificate only redeemed or ex-
changed shall be withdrawn, except in ex-
change for an equivalent amount of the
coin in which said note or certificates was
redeemed or exchanged will forever put an
end to the so-caled endless chain which
has so embarrassed the government in the
ever-recurring redemption of the greenback
There can be no contraction of the currency
under this system for the reason that either
the note Is in circulation or. If redeemed
its equivalent is in circulation

VIII Lumber Ever be Cheap Again.

From the Cleveland Leader.
1t is already fair question whether
or not lumber will ever be cheap, as
values were rated less than one year
ago. No sound judge of economic and
industrial conditions can doubt that
many staples will lose much of the
advance made in the past ten months
1t is inevitable, in the nature ofthings.
With timber and all its products the
case is different. The darkening sha-
dow of inadequate or very expensive
supplies lies over the trade in merchan-
disc which comes from the forests. 1t
will not be permanently lifted by any
known agency.
With population and production of
all kinds fast increasing and the coun-
try gradually filling up, the demand
for timber and wood of all kinds will
naturally increase. That means heavier
drafts upon the forests, and the best
possible care of our remaining sources
of supply can hardly make lumber
cheap and plentiful, in the old sense.
There may be temporary depression in
| the market, but reactions from too
sudden and violent advances in the
price level will scarcely last long.
Under such conditions it is the i'm
perative duty of all governmental and
educational authorities to do what
they can to guard against the threat
ened lack of timber in the United
States. There is no palmer RESPONSE
| bility.

POINTED C011ENT.

Now that the gold standard is to be
made a part of the national law there
will be one more octopus for the
Bryanites to fight.
-
AS yet there has been no extensive
demand for caskets in Kentucky. On
second thought evidently the politicians
down there have decided to reserve
their fire.
1t is possible that next year Mr..
Edward Aguinaldo Atkinson may en-
ploy his time and talents in keeping
down the expansion of the English
sparrow in Boston.
1t is time to rouse up to the import
ance of better merchant marine. 1t
is a disgrace to the United States that
nine per cent of our foreign trade is
all that is carried in American vessels.
-.
Among the most important matters
to come before Congress this winter
are the Nicaraguan canal and Pacific
cable projects. Both are deserving of
the earliest consideration by all pat
riotic legislators.
Admiral Dewey having announced
his preference for the Presidential
nomination next year, an increase of
salary awaits the reporter fortunate
enough to secure an expression of Mrs.
Dewey's preference.
-
Democracy, degenerate though it
may be, cannot atford to stand as
sponsor for Mormonism, and Mr..
Roberts will no doubt make a mistake
if he depends upon Democrats to keep
him in the House of Representatives.
-
The sincerity of Russia's desire for
universal peace may be measured ac-
curately by her indefatigable attempts
to secure loans for increasing her mill
tary forces. What a grand old comedy
that Peace Conference at The Hague
was anyway.
1t is probable that Mr.. Bryan has
been deceived relative to the extent of
the anti-imperialist sentiment in New
England by the clamor of the antis.
His coming trip will disillusionize him
even if the returns from Massachusetts
did not do so.
Mr.. Bryan may find enlightenment
in journeying through New England
and noting the substantial increase of
savings bank deposits and the absence
of the soup houses which distinguished
the East during the memorable period
from 1898 to 1896 when that other man
'greater than his party" was Presi.
dent.
DR.. Van Holleben, the German Am
bassador to this country, hastens to
assure US that Germany intends to
maintain the open door in China.
Nevertheless it will behoove Uncle Sam
to keep an eye on Kaiser Wilhelm
whenever foe sufficiently formidable
arises to cause trouble for Uncle Sam.
Americans have not yet forgotten the
embarassments encountered by Ad-
miral Dewey at Manila because of the
impudent interference of the German
Admiral.
