THE DEMAND FOR CURRENCY REFORM

Y SHORT time ago committee representing
| \ the American Economic Association submitted
report setting forth the importance OF giving
to our present gold standard the validity and vitality
OF law and establishing currency system upon a
safe and sound basis.
In the course OF this report, after reviewing the
monetary conditions of the country the committee
said: "In the light of these facts your committee
are of the opinion that what is most needed this
uncture is disposition the part of the friends OF
reform to sink individual preferences details and
to insist that Congress shall enact such legislation
as it shall be possible to agree upon"
Furthermore, the committee added: Never before
has there existed among all classes SO great an inter
est on this subject, approach to unanimity
OF opinion, and so strong purpose see something
accomplished That passage has had the effect of so
arousing the wrath of the New York Sun as to move
it to sarcasm, and in commenting upon the report it
said:
The representatives of the people in Congress,
who may be supposed to know the sentiments of their
constituents declare, the contrary that little
no interest prevails in the subject among any class,
and that there is strong purpose not to anything
accomplished This being So it is not worth while
enter into controversy with the professors We leave
them to their decisions.
From what source the Sun derived its conclusion
that there strong desire among the people not to
see anything accomplished in the direction of settling
the financial issues OF the time is question which
the Sun itself offers answer On that subject its
light is in eclipse and shines for nobody and in the
absence of any information which to base reply
we shall have to pass the point and leave the Sun to
its own decisions.
There are abundant evidences to show that the
Economic Association is right in asserting that the
people OF the country recognize the necessity OF hav-
ing this issue settled At recent meeting of
the Chicago Commercial Club for example the issue
was discussed and resolution adopted declaring:
THE matter of most pressing and immediate impor-
lance to the American nation after the impending
ratification of the treaty OF peace is the building of
stable foundation for the national monetary system

THE WAGES OF SEAMEN.

Eastern free trade organs, in their opposition
to the proposed legislation in favor of upbuid-
- ing our merchant marine, have asserted that the
rate of wages paid by American ship-owners is not
notably higher than that paid by shpowners OF other
countries AS result there has been sharp discus
sion the question, and of it there has come
letter to the Boston Journal from typical seafaring
man, the mate of a New England coasting schooner
which gives what is perhaps the interesting evil
dcnce brought out either side.
The story of this seaman as condensed by the
Journal is that he has been following the sea for
third of century. He has sailed in the British mer-
chant marine, the German-he is a German by birth
and the American Out of his thrty-three years ex
perience under all flags and in all the waters OF the
globe he declares that this is the only country where
a man is paid and fed and has accommodations
to live in"
Just by way of illustration he adds that before he
CAME to America he was first mate of large German
sailing ship of 1900 tons, with wages of SIS month
He is now mate OF a two-masted American schooner
and his wages $50 MONTH The sailors on that
German ship were paid So month; on the American
schooner they paid SIS. CAS- to the food, the
: grub you call it here, got on our German yes
sci, it not fit to live could not go back and
live it again, and the German ships live y per
cent better than the English for l have been on

That sort of testimony is impressive than stat
istics. 1t has the verye and vigor of human per-
sonality in it 1t settles the discussion over seamens

free traders who going to continue their oppos-
ton to the promotion OF an American merchant
marine get other ground for it than that

worker OF the country, is entitled to legislation that
will protect his wages from the competition of the

THE EXAMINER AND DAN BURNS.

HE Examiner OF Wednesday devoted an entire
column of its editorial page to two extracts from
The Call OF Tuesday last, in one OF which the
following words occurred: For obvious reasons
the Examiner will never effectively resist corruption
in the choice of Federal Senator"
The comments upon the passage quoted wholly ig-
nored this significant language and devoted to an
argument to prove the falsehood that The Call sup
ported the Republican legislative ticket in San Fran
cisco with the consciousness that it had been named
by William F. Herrin and Dan Burns, and that Dan
Burns was a candidate for United States Senator
There has been no evidence so far, except to two
members that the Republican legislative ticket either
here or anywhere else in this State was named by Mr.
Herrn or by Dan Burns or by both OF them together
The presumption and appearances are the other way
1t is quite certain that, if any such combination had
really transpired that legislative ticket would have
been defeated not through the Examiner but through
the Republican press 1t is also certain that before
the election no could have suspected much less
have known the genuine candidacy OF Dan Burns. 1t
is not certain even that is genuine, and the OBJ
ective point may be. else. In this respect
the information OF the Examiner is probably more
direct than that OF The Call.
Ii is not what the Examiner has said but what it
has left unsaid that will interest the public. There
was no charge or fear OF corruption in the election of
Senator Perkins or of Senator White. But before
they represented the State there Senatorial cleo
tons in which the corrupt of money well
authenticated that the amounts paid by
full candidates have been repeatedly expressed in fig
