DIR. J. II. Bickerton calls attention In
q recent number of the British Medical
journal to a curious case Of color blind
ness. The individual cited was the off,
Ger of a steamer, and owing to bis in
ability to distinguish between white
and green lights narrowly escaped run
ming down another vessel. He had pre-
viously been subjected to the IIolngren
test, which consists of matching col
ored woods, and after the narrow es-
cape noted he was again subjected to
the test. and on both occasions passed
successfully. Tie author then goes on
to state that this form of defective
vision Is not so uncommon, and he con-
siders 1t imperative that some other
test be devised, SO as to exclude unfit
persons from the merchant marine
service.

For each person in the United States
the amount Of money in circulation is
s2sls In 1896 the figure was $2i.SS.
An Increase OF over 20 per cent in the
per capita within four years. making
due allowance for increased popula-
tion, should satisfy any one except
populist who wants paper money to
trundlc around by the wagon load.
More than s2OOoOOO,OOO of money are
now circulating in this country, the
increase in four years reaching S4S2,-
OO0900 All these dollars are recogniz-
ed throughout the world as eQuiva-
lent to gold. Four years ago the gold
circulating in the United States was
slS9,oO0,OOO Now it is s7S5,OOO,OOO, an
increase Of 60 per cent. Has silver fall
len backg Not bit Of it The amount
of silver and silver certificates in cir
eulation has increased in four years
from s55S,OOO,OOO to $6s1. 100000. For the
first time the money circulation has
passed the S2.OOO,OOO,OOO mark. and ev-
cry dollar is worth 100 cents in gold.
Here is a republican triumph OF great
magnitude, so large, in fact, that the
democratic papers never refer to it.
They advocate free coinage as the on
ly road to an increased volume of mon
ey. But in less than four years af-
ter the Chicago platform was offered
to the people as the true system of
finance the circulation has increased
by nearly s5OO,OOO.OOO. The paramount
democratic issue in 1896 was, as events
have demonstrated. huge blunder an
absolute reversal of everything that
could insure the prosperity of the
country. 1t takes nerve in the presi-
Dental candidate who led that cause
TO come forward again and offer his
views on public questions as worthy
OF confidence. Sound judgment in
leader is essential. If he has been
identified with a radical error one
proved beyond question. he can not be
trusted TO point the way in other is
sues. What Bryan declared was the
worst financial policy is unmistakably
the best.
