blanks are shoveled into chemical
bath, to clean them, whence they are
scooped out and poured into cylInd-
rical box containing Eastwood saw
dust.
At this stage the blanks are dun
white, and do net look Ike silver
at all. But. after being tumb!ed about
for a while in the cylinder. which is
kept revolving. they acquire a brill
liant polish from friction with the
sa wdust and come OUT bright and
glittering, They are now ready to be
stamped with the designs which trans
form them into current coins Of the
realm.
In earlier days coins were relative
iy crude in form (though as far back
AS the times OF ancient Greece and
Rome their designs were highly ar
tistic), because mining processes were
so primitive. But an up-to-date mint
is equipped with machinery really
wonderful in its ingenuity and com
pleteuess by which metal money Is
turned out almost without interven-
ton by human hands-each piece per-
feet. exactly like every other OF the
same kind, and OF weight deter

When II is considered that a silver
dollar contains tridc less than four
iifths Of an ounce of silver, and that
the government paid an average OF
only SO cents an ounce for the silver
that went into these dollars, it viii
be seen that Uncle Sam made huge
profit on them.
This Kind of profit by coinage IS
called "seigniorage. the term coming
down from period when the lord

Original League Draft
Violates Our Traditions
Immediate Ratification, With
Lodge Reservations, Held
To BE Desirable

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. ! submit the following planks
for this platform Of the Republican
National Convention,
i. World Relations-Ths league Of
nations as originally drawn Is contrary
to all OF our traditions and policies and
is to be condemned as un-American. In
going to Europe President Wilson vto-
lated American precedents and neglect
ed his duty to the American people. In
refusing to take counsel Of statesmen
who represented the most enlightened
public opinion, in appointing as dele
gates only those who would register his
own Will, President Wilson has as
sumed full responsibility for this un-
American document. We approve Of
the reservations known as the Lodge
reservations and advocate the immedi-
ate ratification Of the peace treaty
with reservations attached.
2. Conservation OF Natural Re
sources-The conservation program of
President Roosevelt must be continued
that the resources of the nation may
be developed and used to supply the
public need and not exploited or con
trolled for private benefit
3. Campaign Contributions - Strict
and detailed publicity of all
contributions and eXpendi-
lures before as well as after elections.

To the Editor of The Tribune.


Sir: In looking over the "Suggested
Subjects for Planks" at the end Of
your announcement | notice that
you have omitted some of the most
important subjects At the present
time great many sentimental people
are so carried away with idea. of up
lift that they forget that the surest
way to uplift people is to inculcate
in them the old-fashioned ideas of hon
esty, industry and thrift. Along these
lines I would suggest that one of the
important subjects that you have omit
ted is: The national debt and what to
do with it..
Debt Nears Thirty Billions
At the present time, including war
saving stamps and other liabilities, tho
United States has debt amounting to
nearly thirty billions Of dollars. I'm
less we want to get into the position
of the bankrupt nations Of Europe the
most important thing for this country
to do Is to devise some scheme of pay
ing off this national debt. The same
economic laws apply to q city or state
or nation that apply to any private
business corporation or any individual
Except in case Of war or some other
extraordinary event there is no more
justification for nation going into
debt than there is for an individual
going into debt.
The first duty Of the incoming Ad-
ministration, which will be Republican,
should be to devise some scheme to pay
OFF this national debt and to impose
some system Of taxation providing for
sinking fund which will result in pay
ing off this tremendous debt within at
least twenty years. When the next war
comes, rs 1t will come, we will then be
again in sound financial condition and
in shape to get prepared for any emer-
gency upon short notice.
Another subject might be: Useless
bureaus. AS result of the socalistic
administration which the government
at Washington inaugurated some four
years ago bureaus and additional en-

compelled the resignation Of all
forceful characters whose opinions
clashed with his own.
Although the treaty-making
powers Of the government are
shared between him and the Sem
ate, he has attempted to coerce
Americans to rubber stamp his ac-
tions, irrespective Of their oaths Of
office and fealty to their own coun-
try.
On our entrance into the war
the United States, Of all belliger
ents, did not have coalition
Cabinet, because the President
himself recognized his inability to
reconcile his policies with those
of any positive executives.
In short, we have had a single
track government, dominated by a
single track mind, that left pend
ing and congested all pressing
problems that were awaiting his
consideration. P. NJ.
New-York tribune., 1920-01-27

To tho Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Criticism of the Demo-
cratic Administration must center
around the fact that this mighty
nation and its government are
bigger than one man.
Woodrow Wilson Is remark
able man with remarkable abili-
ties. But the complexities and
the volume of the United States
government are beyond the grasp
of one man. The Constitution
wisely divided it into three
branches, legislative, executive
and judicial, although the Presi-
dent has declared the elected
members of the Senate who dare
to oppose his will are "pro-Ger-
manly influenced" while his views
are the peoples" will.
He has surrounded himself
with advisers and assistants who
fear to act on any problem until
he has given permission. He has
