The money question, 1t seems,
like Banco's ghost, will not down,
Notwithstanding the asscvcratlou
of the gold.staudard iinancicrs that
it is dead issue Tho New York
Sun, gold bug Of the most pro
nounccd type, in It's issue of March
9th, contained an article by Daniel
+. Kellogg on the money situation,
in which he says: 1T would be
idle to deny that in II broader sensc
the money situation is anything
but satisfactory" aud that apart
from routine business matters il Is
the chief topic of discussion in all
the great banking and commission
houses down town, the query
taking the form, Have we, as II
matter of fact, enough money with
which to conduct the financial OPP
eratiOns of the country at their
present rate and volumeS' - His
argument clearly sustains the neg
alive side of the question. And
ex Senator Chandler of Michigan,
in n recent letter to the Washing
ton Post, revives the silver qucs
lion in connection with the Chinese
indemnity, taking strong ground
that the only way China can pay
her indemnity to the United States,
England and France, is for these
nations to remonetlze silver, al.
though he suggests II ratio of 20
to |. without giving any reason for
making this small deviation from
the long established ratio. He
then goes on with the following
sound argument in favor of rcmon
citing silver:
"Silvcr is the metallic money OF more
than half the human race and has been
slowly sinking towards its value as n
metal only and not as money; as gold
would so fall If it were demonetized.
Four thousand millions of silver is be
coming, has practically become, mcr-
chandise instead of money which il had
been from the dawn of civilization down
to 1874. This decentralization is bring
ing poverty and distress to half the
people on the globe. Renonctize and
the misery will cease and China can
easily pay.
Moreover It is best for the United
States to be wise in time. When the |
present bubble of fictitious capitaliza- |
ton, exaggerated values and inflated |
currency bursts and money panic fol
lows, there will be a mad rush for the
only real money--that which is made
of metal; and that money has been re-
duced one-half in quantity during the
last third OF a century.
"To lesson the evils OF these bad
times coming, silver should be remon-
etized by renewed concensus Of the
nations" y

The disgraccful corruption and
bribery which has been going ON
in our State Legislature, and Is
now being brought TO public view
through Il searching investigation,
is cause for regret and humiliation.
1t is n sad commentary on existing
political methods, for it pcrmraics
both the great parties and the
large business combinations seek
ing legislation favorable to their
interests. What we see in Mis-
souri, may be seen IN Illinois aud
other States and even in Congress
and other departments of the gen
eral government Even now II
pcrrunrtory investigation of fraud
aud corruption is in progress IN
the Post Oflice Department. The
get. rich. quick methods have taken
hold of our public as well rs
private life, and the ScripturaI
saying, thnt the love of money is
the root of all evil, ~ receives
strong confirmation.
