Ready for Battle Again.

These who claim that the battle for
free coinage of silver has been fought
and lost, and that it will never be the
leading issue again, do not realize what
must yet be done, and how slowly in
accomplishment in order to establish
the gold standard. The next step to be
taken by the gold standard powers will
be to treat all silver and silver certif-
Gates as credit money, redeemable in
gold. The secretary of the treasury has
already announced that he will direct
ly redeem the silver in gold when, in
his judgment, there is any necessity for
80 doing. After that policy is firmly
established the gold standard nations
will attempt to absolutely destroy all
silver as money. They will claim with
irresistible logic that if silver money
is redeemable in gold it is nothing
more than a promise to pay gold; that
a promise to pay can be printed on
paper at small fraction of the ex-
pense required to buy silver bullion
and coin it into money. The gold ad-
vocates of this country will claim that
it is foolish for the United States to
have nearly $5o0,Ooo,ooo invested in
silver coins when they are merely
promises to pay gold.-Illinois State

OUR FOREIGN GOLD DEBT.
The Dthculty About Paying Out Gold
on Our Present Gold Stand
ard OASIS.

We often hear it said by way of OBJ
lection to free coinage that if gold
should go to premium, and retire
from circulation, while we could use
silver or paper for Local trade, our for
eign creditors would take nothing but
gold, and we would have no gold to
give them The answer to that objec-
ton is very simple. Even if gold
should go to premium and retire
from circula ation it does not follow
that we could not get gold. Any ma
tion can get gold if it has anything
to buy it with. Russia has been
silver standard country nominally, but
with paper currency. Nevertheless
Russia has succeeded in storing away
in her war chest something like $780,
100000 in gold. India is silver
using country and she is supposed to
have from $60o,000,o00 to $1,O0O,OOO,-
900 in gold boarded away. So with
other silver countries. If we were
on a silver basis tomorrow it would
not make our command over gold any
the less, but on the contrary greater.
In the first place every dollar that
was expelled from the United States
would add just so much to the stock
of Europe, where our surplus commod-
tiles must be largely sold. This
would raise prices there, and give us
more gold for our wheat, cotton, petro-
leum and breadstuffs. Our mines
would go OH producing gold just the
same, and if we were to stop using
that metal for money at home, every
ounce that we could get from any
source would be available for the pay
ment of our foreign debt. Under ex-
listing conditions we have to pro-
| vide gold both for home use and to
satisfy the foreign demand as well.
When the foreign demand becomes
unusually strong and a heavy export
of gold follows, the cry of danger"
is raised, and the whole country is
nearly or quite thrown into a panic.
That is because we are attempting to
maintain a gold standard with an in
sufficient supply of gold. five were
upon a silver basis or paper basis
either, it would make no difference
to us whether there was much gold
or little gold in New Ycrk.-nlinois

ONE WIFE SURELY ENOUGH.
Why MOnOgamy las Come to BE the
Prevailing Matrimonial Prin-

Maryherita Arlina Hamm, the well-known
traveller and author, called when in China
upon tbs wife, or rather the wives, of a
great mandarin. Her visit partook of the
nature of a festival, so novel was the ex-
perience to the Chinese women, whose lives
are passed almost entirely within the walls
OF their, yamen. They examined her cloth
ing: and were partly pleased and partly as
shoes, and especially by the fact that her
feet were not confined by bindings.

This I knew must refer to the body of
my poor friend, but before I could realize
the necessity of the order thus brutishly

seeming infnity. Like blot on the sill

and in her lay my salvation.
