Commander Harlow said:

silver Bullion.

Boston Transcript.
Silver bullion has reached the high
est price which 1t has touched since
the repeal Of the Sherman act, In
1893. when the United States govern
ment went out of'the market as pur'
chaser. 1t Is now selling at slightly
above 20 cents an ounce. At the ratio
of .16 to II which was so prominent
an issue for so many years in Ameri.
can politics, silver would be rated at
Si.29 an ounce, and obviously at just
half that figure under the 32.to-l
scheme which was recommended by
the International Exchange Commits
sion, and had been put into use in the
Philippines, and in It's essentials in
Mexico. This latter legal barrier sill
yer has broken over, the new price
compelling a revision of the standard
and IessenIng of the bullion value
OF the coins. The reasons for the re,
cent advance in silver are clear. The
increasing supplies of gold, In which
an the other commodies are measur.

and them, so that everything has be-

The channeI tunnel Project,

ne 6IldUTlGl AhSlSSh
A persistent project heretofore held
In abeyance by an equally persistent
prejudice is to reappear in the new
application to the next session of Par
lament for tunnel from France to
England under the English Channel.
This project was proposed by French
engineer 100 years ago. Bills to au'
thorize 1t have been before Parliament
eight times-the last one 10 years ago
-and have always been rejected on
the plea that 1t would afford an ave
nue. for French invasion. Yet this is
so baseless a fear that It casts doubt
upon It's own sincerity. England has
hundreds Of miles of coast on which
an inimical expedition could land by
few hours sail from the continental
ports. Since the time Of Napoleon
there has been little reasonable doubt
that small invading force might sud-
denly reach the English coasts. But
England's safety lies in the practical
certainly that before this could be
made large enough to threaten con-
quest her naval strength would cut
on its communications by sea But
TO suppose tunnel, the mouth OF
which can be commanded by battery
of machine guns able to destroy any
army that tries to pass the defile'' or
which could be destroyed and flooded
in moment by a charge Of dynamite
to contain any threat to English Sc.
curity is the delirium of insular panic,
These effective precautions can be so
easily supplied that 1t is safe to pre-
sumo that no invading army would
ever court destruction by trying to
march through such tunnel.
