THE GOLD STANDARD.

The first nation to adopt the gold
standard was En.land. She adopted the
gold standard nominal'y in 1916, but
practically not until three years later, for
in 1916 England was on the paper basis.
Germany, which adopted the single sill.
yer standard in 1857, took steps toward
the establishment of the gold standard in
1871; hut it was not until July, 1873,
that she demonetized silver, undertook
to melt down her silver coin, sell it for
gold and establish the single gold stand.
ard. The scandinavian nations adopted
the single gold standard at the same
time. IN September 1873. France re-
stricted the free coinage of silver, and
three years later entirely suspended
such coinage, but has never undertaken
to discard the silver coin she has in use
or to treat it otherwise than as on an
equaltv with gold. The action of France
in restricting and then suspending the
coinage OF silver on private account was
followed by the other nations Of the Latin
Union-Belgium Switzerland, Italy and
Greece-and Spain suspended the coin.

LAudHlN'.H AT THE LAW.

Nlissouri's Encouragement catechislng
Henry H, Rogers, vice. president OF the
Oil trust, asked: do YOU
wish to say to the supreme court OF
Mi. souri, that you as a director OF the
Standard Oil company Of Indiana, do
not know where its general offices are|"
Mr.. Rogers replied: ut is quite i'm
mat erial to me what the supreme court
Of Missouri desires me to say"
That sounds little harsh. Some may
,nterpet it as meaning that it was i'm
material to MIR. Rogers what any one
desired him to say because, being under
oath. he was answerable to his own con-
science. But Rogers had been sworn to
tell "the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth" and 80 when we
remember that he did not conform to his
oath in any respect that Interpretation
will hardly have weight.
It js not unfair to say that the answer
given by Rogers to this question repre-
sents the attitude of every one OF these
influential violators Of the law.
Do they seriously believe that such
tactics as these will win?
OF course they do; and why should
thew not enter ain that belief? They
have seen legislatures pass laws Tor the
protection of the public interests and
thew have heard the people pleading for
relief and yet by reason Of their great
power they have nullifed all the laws
and made in Ineffective all public protests.
They have used their money for the
election OF United States senators and for
the control of political conventions. and
in at least one presidential campaign
thew have used their powerful influence
and their dollars to win the vlctary.
Why should these men care for mere
court? Have they not, like Nick Biddle,
boasted that they make ard unmake
courts, and as they make and unmake
courts, as they make and unmake sena'
tors, governors and representatives in
congress? Have they not controlled the
editorial columns of some Of the great
newspapers, as they have oftentimes con-
trolied the dispatches Of some Of the
great press associations? Why should
these men be held accountable on linet
which must be toed by ordinary men P

CALL ROCKEFELLER.

Replying to Attorney General Had
ley's request that he testify before the
commissioner in the Standard Oil case,
Thomas w. Lawson, of Boston, said
"While have no personal knowledge of
the three things OF which your telegram
treats have sufficient general knowledge
OF the subject matter Of your investiga-
ton to make it appear farcical to me that
you, with the power OF the great state OF
Missouri at your back, should want the
testimony of any other than the band of
conspira ors at 20 Broadway and their
hireling to prove any case in which the
name "Standard Oil appears"
1t will occur to great many people
that Mr.. Lawson hit the nail on the head
and this provides the reminder that ser.
vice has not been obtained upon John d.
Rockefeller. Mr.. Rockefeller should be
required to testify, and with the great
state of Missouri behind them the gentle
men in charge of this investigation should
be able to obtain service upon the oil
magnate.

TARIFF REVISION.
lnagnate'

Curtis Guild, Jr., governor. elect OF
Massachusetts,, has written to President
Roosevelt letter in which referridg to
the hard fought election in Massachu-
sets Mr.. Guild says that in his judgment
the republican ticket would have been
overwhelmingly defeated if the republi-
can Platform had not contained a plank
favoring immediate tariff revision.
Mr.. Guild says that he deems it his
duty to inform the president of the real
condition of public feeling in Massachu-
sets and he urges the president to in.
corporate in his message a suggestion
favorable to tariff revision.
What Governor Guild says of public
sentiment in Massachusetts may be said
OF public sentiment.in other states. The
people have become thoroughly weary OF
a high protective tariff, and every day
they are growing more and more restless
under the impositions placed upon them
because OF the shelter which the trusts
find in the tariff.
