SILVER IN MEXICO

The recent report of the Mexican min
lister Of finance estimates the cash hold
ings of the people of Mexico at about
$50, 900. 900. $50. 900, 900 of which is in the
banks AS ni~ne-tenths of the people
never use anything but silver in their
commercial transactions and there is no
gold in circulation it is evident that
the money supply Of the republic is at
a low ebb. In fact. So low that the per
capita circulation is less than 81. This
would be Il most alarming condition in
a country like the United States, but it
is not nearly so significant in Mexico.
for of the l.. 900, 900 people in the latter
country nearly II zoe. 600 are Indians and
thousands upon thousands of families
do not handle as much as S. in cash
in an entire year. This decrease in
Mexican silver at home is due to the
increased activity in the Orient and
other places where Mexican dollars con-
stitute a large proportion of the me-
dunn of exchange. The silver output
of Mexico has been very large and the
cost of minting the Mexican dollar has
lately been reduced, thus stimulating
the industry. With all this, however,
the expectations have been so heavy as
to bring he supply of domestic silver
money 10 or Il per cent below the nor
NAL.

THE FAMINE IN INDIA.

While at Simla recently, Lord Curzon,
viceroy of India, made a comparison OF
the recent famine there with others, and
pointed out that the distinguishing fea-
ture of this last calamity was the gem
crosby of the government, which was
without a parallel in the history of
India.
He also pointed out that in the Bengal
famine, in 40, under native admins
900 population persisted within nine
months. The returns showed that the
during the last year had amounted to
$50, 900, but out of this total 25O,OO had
fallen victims to epidemics of cholera
and smallpox. Thus the mortality di-
rectly or indirectly due to the famine
was about 800, 900, out of a total of Co.
600, 000-odd affected. 1t was claimed that
in no previous famine in India had the
mortality been kept so low. Said Lord
Curzon:
I challenge contradiction when I say
that there has never been a famine
when the general mortality has been
less, when distress has been more amply
or swiftly relieved, or when the govern
ment and it's officers nave given them
selves with a more whole-hearted de-
votion to the saving of life and the
service of the people.
The late famine has been a terrible
incident n an abiding landmark in the
history of the Indian people. AS such
it's management and it's study impose q
heavy responsibility upon those of US
who are charged with the government oil
this great dependency. 1t is with thu
object of demonstrating to the Indiar
public that in the administration of tn,
recent famine we have not been un
worthy of our trust, and that this yea
of strain and suffering will not hav
passed by without our profting by it
lessons, that l have made this speech.

E N PULPIT

The pulpit has a great and
holy mission. The newspaper
has a vocation possibly even
mightier in influence, though
much less sacred. The two
do not mix we'll. The preach
ing of the gospel is a purely
spiritual enterprise, the news
paper is one of business. Each
may do much good in it's way.
The gospel, purely preached,
is a joy and comfort; the
newspaper, cleanly edited, is
a stimulant and aid for all.
Christianity benefits by one
and need not be degraded by
the other. Christians who re-
fuse to patronize any one
newspaper merely because its
editor is a clergyman for
whom his holy calling has
proved too tame, should not
be assailed. When the Rev.
DIR. Parker describes Eng
fish Christians as becoming
invalids" and manliness a
dead" in order to account for
the failure of an advertising
venture of his own, he is in
sincere to himself, and we fear
he knows it. There is food for
serious thought, we repeat, in
the attitude of so pious a man.

THE SHIPPING BILL

They are blind indeed who
cannot or will not see that it
is the young shipbuilder, the
individual ship owner who
have everything to gain by
the present Subsidy bill. The
few great shipyards in the
country already have all the
work that they can do. The
few great steamship lines are
already subsidized for carry
ing the mails. But the young
shipbuilder for whom there
are few or no naval contracts
must build merchant ships in
order to live. The ship own
err who owns no shares in fast
mail steamers gets no subsidy
now. Under the new bill he
will have a subsidy for his
cargo ship. He can then af-
ford to keep it afloat and to
build another.-Boston Jour-
nal.

TO GUARD IMMIGRATION

The private watchmen who
guard the material interests of
the people in the large build
ings of our cities are we'll paid.
Should not a public watchmen
who guard the nations doors
be adequately compensated
and be the best men that can
be obtained? The needed
change can be easily be
brought about by increasing
the head-tax from 81 to 81,
which would not be an ex-
cessive burden either upon the
steamship companies or the
immigrants; and such an in
crease would provide for addi-
tional inspectors along the
Canadian frontier. The need
of better inspectors at higher
salaries was fully brought out
in the testimony before the
United States industrial COM
mission, which recently exam
ined some twenty-five wit
nesses on the subject of i'm
migration.-Prescott F. Hall in

NICARAGUA CAMEL

The opponents of the Mic
aragua canal are trying to
backfire the measure by init
mating that the Panama can
al may be constructed and
operated as a rival by foreign
ers, thus making it impossible
for the United States to Sc
cure a return on it's invest
ment. There is nothing very
alarming in this possibility.
The object in constructing the
Nicaragua waterway is to pro-
mote commerce between the
Atlantic and Pacific seaboards
of the United States and to
facilitate trade between the
eastern section of the Ameri-
can union and the Orient by
giving American shipping a
short cut to the latter. If for
eigners choose to finish the
Panama canal and conduct it
on lines that will not interfere
with the principles underlying
the Monroe doctrine we shall
suffer no harm. If one canal
proves to he a good thing, two
canals will probably prove to
be better. There can't be too
many for ocean commerce.

EDUCATION OF BANKERS

The Bankers Magazine
notes an effort in banking !
circles to help bank clerks to
acquire Il broader knowledge
of the banking business
through a course of study a
that can be pursued without
interfering with their regu- q
lar business Many bank
clerks seem to wish for means
of self-education so as to pre-
pare themselves for the high
er duties of their business.
The recent convention of the
American Bankers Associa-
ton voted $40. 900. to give a
scheme of education a start.
AS a rule bankers. it appears,

They learn by practice and
gradual accretion of knowl-
edge. not having any short
cut to general principles. The
Magazine shows this enter
tainingly. "On examining

it is proposed to PROFOUND to
bank clerks to enable them to
educate themselves by discov-
ering the answers thereto. the
wonder at once arises that up
to this time the banking BUSH
ness of the country has been
carried on with any success at
all without this knowledge,
which it is now proposed to
impart. being possessed by
bank employees. Some of n
eminent bankers at the con-

that they did lot think they

questions. Mr.. Thompson. OF

which propounded a series OF
banking conundrums to it's

the officers in asking these
questions desired to educate
their bright young employees
so that they might do the
work, run the business of the
bank and let the officers draw

The only trouble that veXes
