''The first office that I found myself

night trick, and the trains being few
and far between l spent most of my

Russla,s railways.

An American gentleman, who has
travelled steadily for more than a year
over the vast ,rrans-Siberian and
TrRns-C Caspian railways, and who has
just returned to London, says he has
been taken by train to the Persian
frontier, to the Indian frontier, and to
the Chinese frontier, and that Russian
troops are being moved about with an
ease. which shows. that Russia can
presently concentrate half million
soldiers at S,iy point on the frontiers,
and that British supremacy on the sea
cannot alter the fact that Russia will
drain the whole trade Of Asia through
her mighty railway system, which is
far beyond the reach of British war
ships.
3 1t Is this tremendous fact that i'm

ALLEVIATE the United States from Rus
STA and to convert Russia into an
enemy rather than a friend. British

work the same injustice to creditors
that the single gold standard now does
to debtors When the relation Of
money to other forms of property is
once properly adjusted, dollar that Is
constantly falling in value is no more
an honest dollar than dollar that is

complished by the use Of both in

laced themselves SD tight that some OF
them squeezed their little souls out
of their bodies. SD with the Japanese
members Of the house. The paper says
the masses follow In the footsteps OF
Marquis Ito, Marquis Yamagata, Count

great men do it, why should not the
humble Jap, who certainly has cer-
tain vicious tendencies, and he does,
and the influence of Confucisnism and

then makes the startling statement
that the women of Japan are ilasulted

The Living Iss sde,

We are the largest producers Of sill
yer in the world, and with bimetallic
standard, under conditions Of stable
parity, We would absorb and retain in
our own currency only our distributive
share Of the entire production of the
two metals. The first effect, how
ever, of the increased supply OF the
metals at home would be felt on home
prices; but having raised prices here
the metals would gradually flow to
other countries. Silver now goes out
OF the country only as commodity
at, say, 65 cents an ounce; but under
conditions OF bimetallism on the ratio
of 16 to 1, silver would go abroad as
money at s12s an ounce; or II at
ratio Of 152 to 1, it would go at 1.33
an ounce Under the stimulus Of the
higher price, more silver, too, would be
produced in the United States, and 1t
would make d very great difference
whether hundred million ounces OF
silver went to pay debts at 65 cents an
ounce, or at S1.29 an ounce. The diff
ference in the value of the silver
product alone of the United States
would 60 long way toward paying the
interest on our debt abroad. Besides,
more of the gold produced in the
United States could be spared to pay
debts abroad, If in parting with 1t the
stability of onr money system would
not be disturbed, as it would not be
under bimetallism, for then silver
would be as available for all money
purposes as gold. Secondly, the re-
storation of the bimetallic standard
would put a stop at once to the fall OF
| prices, and would no doubt result in
| gradual rise Of prices, for time at
least, over the whole world. The
debts Of the world would cease to grow
| heavier as burden and could be more
easily discharged. This gain would
inure to the great advantage Of all
debtor nations. Since the change in
the money standard, in 1873, debts
have constantly increased through the
appreciation Of money, until, as COM
pared with commodities, they have
been fully doubled? As prices gradual
| ly rise, the increasing pressure Of debts
would cease Thirdly, the restoration
of the bimetallie standard, by putting
a stop to the appreciation of gold and
the fall of prices, would open the way
to another era of prosperity: conf
dence would be restored; that Is, by re-
storing conditions that make business
success possible. Enterprise would be
stimulated and wealth would be in
creased as never before.

No Montery TLegIslatIon.

A canvass OF the house has been
taken to ascertain the exact sentiment
Of that body on the advisability OF
holding an extra session for the con-
sideration of monetary legislation. The
result shows an almost overwhelming
majority In the negative. The Indian
apolis monetary commission, Of which
H. H. Hanna is chairman, has been
supporting a lobby at Washington.
and the canvass was made at Mr..
Hanna's instigation. The Indianapolis
people are also flooding the country
with literature calculated to mold pub
lie sentiment in favor of further leg
islation.
The gold-standard Republicans, as
well as Republicans, are almost unani-
nous in favor of letting what they
force themselves to call well enough
alone. The President, it is said,
wishes the subject to go over until the
next regular session of congress. By
that time he figures he will have a
Republican in place of silver ma
jority in the senate, and any measure
which the house might agree upon
would stand chance of becoming a
law.
This would postpone the whole sub
ject until December, 1899, and the
spring of 1900, and make the question
again campaign issue, and the ac-
ton Of the Republicans a. party pro-
nouncement.

Railroad agent for the senate.

Professor Gunton proclaims with

be "the ideal senator" for the state of
New York. With the doctor in the
senate the professor says New York
would have a representation fully equal
to thirty tilnes-nay, perhaps 100

remarks that mo great question of ma

Grafton without New York being heard
from" He declares that the doctor is
at once an interested representative of
all that Is best in New York. and a
specimen Of the best type OF national
spirit and craftsmanship" And more
to like effect. The reader will not be
at loss to account for all this full
some laudation if he will recall to mind
the fact that Professor Gunton is not
only rabid advocate Of the system of
protection, which is essentially sys-
tenn of law-made monopoly, but a con-
fessed and outspoken defender OF all
manner of monopoly combines, from
the railroad combines which have
Jared badly at the hands of the su-
preme court Of the United States to the
manufacturing combines which -four
ish in defiance of law. DR.. Depew was
particularly conspicuous as repre-
sentative of the Vanderbilt interests in
that huge combine known as the Joint
Traffic Association, which was brought
to sad and distressful dissolution by
a decision of the supreme court. He is
a conspicuous advocate of the iegaliza-
tion of pooling by congress, of the re-
peal Of SO much of the interstate COM
merce law as sprohibits pooling, and of
the legalization in the case of rail-
roads Of that combining to defeat
competition which the law strictly for
bids in other lines Of business.
