THE PASSING OF SILVER

"Of the forty-one foreign govern
ments Of whose coins the Secretary Of
the United States treasury took notice
in his provclamation of october l.,
1886, fixing their value in American
money, fifteen were legally upon the
gold standard, eleven were still expert
menting with bimetalism. and fifteen
were on the silver standard" says the
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
"Of the forty-one foreign govern
aents enumerated in the similar proc
lamation issued on October /, 1862, not
one was still attempting TO make both
silver and gold standards of value.
Several that in 1896 were only nomi-
naIly on the gold standard-such as
Chill and Japan-had actually made
all their money equal to gold. OF the
fifteeh ayowedly on the silver basis in
1896, only Bolivia, China, Columbia,
Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mica
ragua, Salvador and Mexico still re-
riained uIon it.
"0f the twenty-six governments
which in 1896 were giving more or less
eountance to bimetalic and silver
standard theories. there remained on
the silver list at the end of 1892 only
seven small or backward Latin-Amer-
lean states and Mexico and China,
which really had no standard at all.
II is not surprising that Mexico is
weary Of such company and is seeking
to get away from the commercial and
Industrial handicaps that the silver
standard imposes.
-As races and empires rise and fall,
so do metals. At one time, there is
reason to believe, silver was as pre-

One hundred and twenty-seven years
ago tomorrow the thirteen American
colonies declared themselves free from
allegiance to any foreign ruler and tC
he an independent and united nation.
That declaration has been nobly main
tanned ever since. From the struggling
settlements Of I77s the nation has
grown by development, assimilation.
purchase, conquest and other means Of
expansion, territorial and otherwise, to
be the greatest nation of the world.
The citizens of such country have
a just right to be proud of the results
which they have helped to attain, and
af their citizenship in such a land.
TnseparahIy connected with the ar
rival Of this anniversary of the nations
hirth IL the idea of celebrating the
event.. From long association this
means firecrackers, bombs cannon, flags
reading the declaration. speeches, a
dozen kinds of races and games. two
or three varieties of drunks, an as
sortment of accidents and other ir-
relevant or disagreeable features. All
this in the name of freedom; to culti-
vate patriotism, and to commemorate
the sublimsst event of our history. 1t
Is gratifying TO note that there is ten
aency toward reform in this respect.
People are realizing that the folly of
such so-called celebrations has been
carried far enough. Ere many years in
stead Vt the rowdy act we will be en-
ploying more genteel methods Of ex-
pressing our patriotism and love of
country, and more effective means of
tanning the patriotic flame. if it needs
tanning.
The idea that those of our people who
have not lived for generations in this
country need especial instruction in
this line, is rather eontradicted by the
fact that. at our Fourth of July celebra-

ONE of THE GIANTS.

According TO Everybody's Magazine
for July, the years consumption Of to-
hacco in the United States includes
seven billions OF cigars, ten billions of
cigarettes, and two hundred and eighty
millions of pounds of manufactured to-
baceo. The one item of smoking and
chewing tobacco, exclusive of cigars,
cigarettes and snuff, registers an an
nual overall value OF more than
s5O0.O00 .0D0. In addition, England
smokes six billions. Japan three btl-
lions and China one and one-half BILL
lions of cigarettes every twelvemonth.
This outside cigarette-puffing burns up
forty-five millions of pounds of tobac-
co and puts about s4OOo,0oo into the
bank account of the American grower,
giving the giant balance to the trust.
One Of the magnates of this wonder
fully puffed up power is James Buchan-
an Duke, president of the Consolidated.
the Continental and the American to-
bacco companies. His modest salary Is
500, 900 year, and of it Mr.. Duke says
I'm not paid those 100000 for what l
do, but for what / don't do. I'm paid
for the mistakes / fail to make.
In this age of big things the tobacco
habit is evidently not the least. Mr..
Duke may be infallible when it comes
to selling tobacco. but the expenditure
Of such enormous sums of good money
in the generally useless qualification of
an unnatural appetite would seem to in
1icate the fallibility of several mil
ion of the common people.
