A NARROW ESCAPE.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: One day,
when I was eleven years old. was crossing over
to Hoboken ferryboat. in company with my
mother. father and cousin. We were standing on
the deck. when suddenly we that the iron
steamboat Dreamland headed straight for u.s.
My father told mother to hold tightly 10 pole,
and then he clutched my cousin and myself firmly
around waists. In another instant there was
terrible crash, and the whole cabin Of tbs
ferryboat carried away A huge hole was torn
in the bow Of the DreamIand also No one was
hurt, though several suffered from nervous
shocks. and screamed frantically, "Oh!
Can't we get off the boat?'' This accident left a
deep impression on me. and even now think Of 10

Dear Little Men and Little Women: 1 going to
tell you about my pet monkey which my uncle
brought from South America. He is about the size
Of an ordinary cat only his tail is about threequar
ters OF yard long. We call him Monito. feed him
on fruit, bread and hot milk, and sometimes when
he is real good 1 give him a lollypop, OF which
he is is very fond and which he eats as We would.
Occasionally he tries to eat onion, but it makes
his ewes water; then he gets angry and throws it
down
My sister and I dress him up in dolls dresses
and make him walk the broomstick. This makes
him very angry, and he screams until we take him
down
He has many other funny little ways and is very
interesting but is also very destructive

you about some toads. They live under the Walk
that runs from the street TO our front porch. The
rain made large cavity Under the stone, and they
live in this. Every night at about the time the
sun sets they come out one by through a crack
in the pavement. My sister made the crack larger

.'They are so fat that it is hard for them to come

THE GOLD STANDARD.

first thing to do is to satisfy ourselves
that the proposed change will in all
reasonable probability be permanent
benefit to the Industrial. the CONNER
cial and the social interests of our
people.
The present writer about the years
1S9O-96 advocated what was then called
bimetallism. He did so believing that
the single gold standard was INSULT
cient for the rapidly expanding bust
ness, wealth and population of the
country. He could not then foresee the
increase in the production of gold, the
consequent accumulation in the stock
of that metal, and the years of uneX-
ampled prosperity that followed. The
result has demonstrated. if any more
demonstration We're needed, the cor
rectness of the theory on which the
argument rested. the theory known as
the cumulative theory of money. al
luded to in my previous letter. namely
that the value of money varies witt
the supply of money just like wheat Of
any other commodity. This theory
stands directly opposed to the theory
on which our present money system is
founded, to wit, that by act of congress
a certain number of grains of gold, OF
of other metal, can have a definite un
changable value, and that by this al
other values must be measured
The gold standard is Objectionable

Lup by some artificial or assumed au

of government, or custom OF society

Writing on the currency problem the
other day l said that as part of
more correct monetary system gold
coin should be relieved of its legal
tender quality A proposition so
radical would be expected to arouse a
storm of disapproval. | find. however,
that some high authorities in finance
are thinking along similar lines, though
perhaps from different motives, and
am therefore encouraged to return 10
the subject.
At the outset arises the question of
| jurisdiction. We shall be told that the
| federal constitution stands square in
the way. We do not assume to fore
cast the decision of the court of last
resort on any such question, but some
provisions of the constitution seem
plain even to an unlearned rustic. In
general terms congress is given power
to establish a money system. and a
grant of power must include its essen
tial details. In particular, the states
are forbidden to emit bills of credit, OF
to make anything except gold or silver
i
IpOwers prohibited to the states may be
Exercised by the general government
Again, no export facto law, or any leg
islation impairing the obligation Of
CONTRACTS shall be enacted. Under these
provisions contracts expressly payable
in gold coin must be so paid, and the
weight and fineness of the coin canno
be diminished. Contracts payable il
dollars" or in lawful money can bt
satisfied by the tender of dollars o.
other money established by law. We
conclude, therefore, that changes il
the monetary system must refer to the
future and not to the past, that debt!
and obligations existing when tn,
change is made must be exempt from
its provisions, and be discharged &C
cording to the terms of the contract
and, also, that law taking away from
gold coin its legal tender characte
should not go into effect for consider
able time, say three or five years, afte
Its enactment, so as to give ample tim
for the settlement of existing cor
tracts, and ample notice to those Ell
tering into new contracts.
There is. however, one law tina
should be enacted with the least pos
sible delay-a law declaring contract
payable in gold to be against publ
policy, and therefore not enforceable
Such law would prepare the way TO
the abandonment of gold as standar
money.
| am well aware that such radica
changes in the money system woul
Occasion a certain amount of frictio
and Inconvenience. But we quite ofte
assume a temporary Inconvenience i
order that, later on, a permanent al
Vantage may accrue. The friction wi
be reduced to its lowest terms if W
adopt gradual course of preparatio
iextending over a term of years Th
