In Sundays issue Of The Times We

who. by. the way, is a weI-known citizen
of Richmond. after relating his eNpe-

IL and by this constitution IL takes the
alority In three branches and the con-
sent OF the Car TO change any primary

The Car has proposed to the Landtag
that the term OF military service be In
creased from three TO I'VE years, TO cor
respond 10 the Russian system. and that
Russian pfivatos DE admitted into the
FINNISH army and vice versa. Among
others these are the most important. the
result of which would be 10 destroy the
Finnish army a. such and the sugges-
lions will probably be rejected. What
then? win Finland suffer the fate OF
Russian Poland? who knows? The loss
of the army as such means moro than

was sent ont from St Petersburg:
An imperial manifesto has been issued

Tho Fredericksburg Free Lance says
that friends of Captain Camm Patteson
are denouncing him for going over 10
,bo gold bugs" There is no occasion Tor
sYcb denunciation. All fair-minded men
will honor Captain Patteson for the frank
and manly confession which he has re-
centlv made. lie has not, as we nave
before pointed ont. gone back on any
Of his principles From the start he
hel,evod that IN order 10 the prosperity
81 thls country it was necessary that
.hera sbould be more money as busi-
ness oxpanded. and he did not believe
that the worlds supply of gold was
equal TO the demand for currency
But Captain Paueson has opened his
ewes to these two very important facts
the first being that the supply Of gold
has increased mt an enormous rate, and
the second that under the modern sys-
tenn of trade balances and bills OF eN-
change. it is not necessary TO have so
large a sum Of money for the same
volur. of business as was the case under
The old system Captain Patteson does
not belong to that class Of persons who
having eyes see not but as an tntei-
ugent and fair-minded man, he looked
tho situation squarely in the face, and
then acknowledged TO himself, and sub
seoIentlv 10 the public, that there IS
enough gold 10 transact the business Of
the world. that there can be and that
there is prosperity under the gold stand
ard. and that. therefore, there is no
need for the free coinage Of silver.
A man is not TO be denounced, but IN
our opinion. to be commended for maxi
ing SO honest and frank a confession
There are those who. having sworn that
the horse was sixteen hands high, VIII
stand to it, in spite of the demonstration
Of the measuring rod TO the contrary
but Captain Pattcson IS not oSe Of these.
Having found out his error, he has the
manliness and the courage TO own it.
And just between us there are thousands
OF other former free silver advocates I'm
the state Of Virginia who are of Captain
Pattesons opinion. but are not quite
ready to come out and publicly avow the
fact.

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY .. 1893.


In his entertaining and instructive ad-
dress before the people OF Richmond yes
terday Secretary GAGE male three points
which The Times has been endeavorins
all these years 20 impress upon its read
ers. First. that law does not create
money. After giving brief history oil
finance in THIS country Mr. Gage said
that In oil this field 20 which he had
made reference legislation followed me
action Of the individual 1t never pre-
coded him: d. never invented or created
Man made the dollar ami ehe Jaw gave
A. a name.
Secondly. Mr. Gage pointed out that
ohv eimple devices slowly elaborated
such as checks. drafts. bills of exchange
accounts Of deposit and the issue Of notes
The enormous work of the world eA-
changes arc in The most part Effected
There is no longer a. need for "a Ike
amount OF currency as under the ola
system. for ihe transaction or Ike
.ol,mo Of business. Every year. said
nv Gage. there pass ana repass in our
own country. from seller TO buyer more
.han fifty million dollars in value With
out the use Of money at ALL and out OF
tbe enormous total Of sixty or seventy
thousand millions Of dollars Of trade and
exchange IN our country money itself
figures only in the proportion Of one TO
ten.
Thirdly. Mr. Gage showed oonclusiVely
that the 10 per cent tax upon the issue
ri State bank notes has been a curse 10
the business Of this country. and that its
removal IS the first step in the direction
OF necessary currency reform.
