Will Settle Silver Dispute.

The experience derived by our Gov
ernrnent from the administration of
the President s silver proclamation Will
settle many disputed questions as to
! the effect that a rise in the world price
of silver will have upon our export
trade, the raising of commodity prices
in our country and as an AID to our
recovery program.
If it is demonstrated, as I believe it
will be, that the increase in the world
price of silver will proportionately in
crease the purchasing power of our
products by over half the people of the
| world, who use only silver money. then
I b .eve that the President will con-
tinue to increase the price Of silver so
long as such benefits appear,
There is no doubt in my mind that
/ there will be strong support Of legisla-
ton in Congress for the opening Of our
mintS TO the coinage Of world silver at
the ratio Of l6 to /. The extent OF
this support will be largely determined
by the effect on the world price of sill
! trade. In the nature of things, it will
require two or three months, or maybe
longer, for the effect to be manifested.
Whether Congress will await this re-
suit no one can successfully prophesy
at the present time.
There Will be legislation passed in
the nature OF criminal acts to protect
our banking systems. to prevent dis
honest stock manipulatiOnS, and eva
sion of income taxes.
Senators and Representatives as
usual, will introduce many bills on
many subjects and. as usual. few of
them will receive final action by Con-
gresS.
Remarkable Recovery Occurs.
Congress will respond to the senti
ment of the country as never before in
its history. Our people have not for
gotten the bankruptcy which our in
dustries. banks and citizens faced on
the 4th of March. 1888. They tremble
even now when they think Of the
chaotic condition into which our Gov
ernment was falling.
The picture of the hunger. suffering
and destitution of men. women and chill
dren who were seeking work and could
not find it is ever before their eyes.
They realize that they have experienced
the most remarkable recovery in his
tory. In the brief period of nine
months. they have seen factory capac-
/ ity doubled: they have witnessed the
prices Of cotton and wheat doubled;
they have witnessed unemployment
rapidly decreasing, and they have seen
the destitute cared for
They do not intend that the Presi-
dents program for recovery shall be
repealed, blocked or interfered with by
action or even through consideration
of new schemes and comparatively i'm
material bills.
1t is doubtful if time and conditions
will permit the consideration of much
legislation affecting foreign relations
except that of a commercial nature
looking to, the increase of our export
trade and employment in our own
country.

Raised Cost of Living.

The administration of the Presidents s
program for recovery has resulted not
only in an increase in commodity prices,
but has resulted in a higher wage
schedule. This program inevitably has
increased the cost of living.
The equalization of the benefits and
burdens flowing from the administra-
ton Of such program must be effected
as far as it is humanity possible.
Those classes, such as the veterans
and Government employees whose COM
penSation, salaries and wages were re-
duced to meet budgetary conditions that
were so vitally urgent at the beginning
of this administration. must be relieved
of such unequal burdens.
The prices of some of our commodi-
ties have had large rises, while others
have remained stationary or have ac-
tually fallen. This inequality must be
adjusted. The plan of treating cotton,
| wheat and other products as primary
products to be benefited by processing
tax has, in some cases, doubled the
value Of these commodities Many other
commodities which were not included
in the primary products must be added
i to the list. This is particularly true
With regard to live stock, which is the
most universal product in our country.
There is no doubt that the monetary
question, which more closely affects the
prosperity Of our people than any other
problem, viii be fully discussed and
acted upon The President has gone

steps with regard to gold. He has

Copyright, 1888, by the Associated Press
Congress will, in my opinion, recog-
nize that it is its duty to give first con-
sideration to legislation that the Presi-
dent deems necessary to remedy anbi-
guities and toreinforce and facilitate the
administration Of the recovery acts.
1t has developed that some of our
citizens and industries are unjustly suf-
fering, either from the failure of Con-
greSs to enact sufficient legislation or
by reason Of hasty action or by reason
of changed conditions. Remedial legis-
lation to correct this unjust suffering
should be undertaken without any delay.

BIRDS MUST HAVE
GRIT WITH FEED,
OR ELSE STARVE
+ + + + + + j. + + + + + + I

Washington, D. C.-"Supplying grit
is just as important as supplying
food A bird may starve to death
with full crop unless it has grit to
grind it up" according to the advices
of the Connecticut State Board OF
Fisheries and Game.
Remember the gizzard,' the Amer
lean Game Association reminds in
urging sportsmen and other nature
lovers to feed wild life during the
SHOWS, ''for a bird cannot make his
food available without grinding it up
in the gizzard, and it takes grit or
sand to grind it with; the gizzard only
furnishes the muscular action"
This is proven by the birds them
selves. Hundreds have been seen
flccking to rural roads after snow
storms to get grit.
Sportsmen throughout the "snow
belts" fed many tons of cracked corn
and cracked wheat during the last big
snow in December, but only few of
them remembered to include grit with
the food.
| About ten percent of small and
medium-sized commercial grit should
be thoroughly mixed with all grain
mixtures to be scattered; sand and
small gravel should be placed separ-
ately, if desired, at all winter feed
ing stations. The birds will find it.
Recognizing the value of bird life
to agriculture and to all rural sections
the United States Post Office Depart
ment has issued orders to rural mail
carriers to feed wild life where the
feed is furnished to them.
| All that is necessary for the donor
/ is to address the parcel of feed to Mr..
and Mrs. Bird and it will be given
i to the carriers who can distribute it to
I the best advantage.
/ These desiring to establish regular
/ feeding stations should make sure
that plenty of large interstices in
walls Of the station so that the birds
may escape easily in case they are
attacked by enemies. The stations
cause concentration Of birds and
their enemies regard the station as a
feeding station for themselves. Unless
adequate means of escape is provided,
the stations become death traps, the
association bulletin points out.
