SILVER POLICY
HAS EXPERTS
GUESSING
By EDWARD B. LOCKETT
international News Service

Americas new silver purchaS-
ing policy is apparently one of out
exporting the international money
experts.
In other words, the myStified
and frantic money brokers who
have been wagging their heads in
beWilderment at the didoeS which
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau has been cutting in world
silver circles are in for a lot more
head wagging.
Secretary Morgenthau has made
1t emphatically plain that the
element Of surprise will be en-
pIoyed in his silver buying for the
future. For months the experts
abroad have been comparatively
certain Of silver buying moves of
this country for the immediate
future. That is no longer true.
Get this, boys" the Secre-
tary explained in StreSSing the fact
that the silver act authorized him
to buy the white metal under
whatever terms and conditions,
and whatever specific times and
places he sees fit. No longer is it
a certainty that the American
sllver-buying orders will concen-
trate in London. AS a matter of
fact it is almost a certainty that
they will not. Moreover, there is
no telling just where they will
concentrate.
Buying Every Day
II have been buying silver every
day this week." the SECRETARY ex-
planned. Il have been buying it
In many different places"
These words brought out that
last Tuesday, when the London
silver market suffered a one-day
collapse because Uncle Sans usual
daily dozen orders were not forth
coming. those orders were still
sent out-but not to the London
market.
Morgenthau intends to continue
buying silver. He said that he
would carry out the silver-pur-
chase order to the letter. and that
means continued buying.
Today in spite of heavy silver
purchases since the inception of
the existing silver policy. which
seeks a world price of $1.29 an
ounce, or the acquisition of enough .
OF the metal to comprise one-third
OF this nations monetary stocks,
silver forms only IL per cent of
the total currency stock. Gold
stocks have increased so much
that now silver forms a slightly
smaller percentage Of total stocks
than at the outset of the existing
policy. This is true in spite of
the fact that since the present
policy was adopted, the Treasury
has acquired 761,774,000 ounces of
silver.
Will Garry Out Act
At present, with gold on hand
at about $10,067 900 900. a total of
about 1885 900 900 in silver would
be necessary to attain the objec-
tive OF a one-third silver currency.
silver stocks are, roughly
speaking, about $1,288,261,78
This figure reveals a need for an
additional $2,O67, 900, 900, or 1900
100000 ounces to attain the neces-
Sary silver, even if gold stocks do
not continue to increase.
That is more than twice as
as has been acquired un-
der the purchasing policy, which
was inaugurated with the newly
mined domestic silver-buying
proclamation late in 1893.

"Why, of course" said Nurse
Jane. You don't suppose 1 put

So Uncle Wiggily did this. Soon

skins on one side of the table
where he sat. On the other side
was a dish of sliced peaches all
ready for the cake. Meanwhile
Nurse Jane mixed up the flour,

SALES
GE 7 BET ter

A survey of Dodge passenger car
sales, based on the large volume
sold so far this year, leads Rogers
and Tison of Ell Centro, Califor-
mia. Dodge distributors, to expect
that total passenger car sales for
1885 will exceed combined sales for
1888 and 1884.
Domestic shipments Of Dodge
passenger cars for the first five
months of 1885 exceeded the COM
panys car production for the en-
tire year of 1884, according to ad-
vices received today.
The total of Dodge passenger
cars shipped to points in the Uni
ted States between January l and
June 9 is given as 99,468, whereas
the output for the whole year 1884
amounted to 99 .466 Dodge passen-
ser automobiles and for the en-
tire wear of 1o33-a total Of 87,103.
Les Rogers says, while the ra-
Did advance in 1885 Dodge passen-
ger car shipments makes an inspir-
ing record. it gives only a partial
picture of our dealers activities.
In. addition to SO, ,468 Dodge passen-
ger cars which were shipped in the
first five months of 1885, the fac
tory also shipped 27,825 Dodge
commercial cars and trucks, and
64.382 Plymouths - or total OF
191,675 vehicles.
THE shipment volume so far
achieved this year-an excellent
dealer performance backed up by
car value-gives more than casual
probability to the expectation that
Dodge passenger car output for the
whole of 1885 will equal, or even
exceed. the combined Dodge pas
Senger car output for the two years
1888 and 1884"

IGNORING THE DUEL

Clement Richard Attlee, deputy op-

commons, by statement issued yester-
dav puts himself in the position Of be-
ing termed a coward by the unthinkng,
but as pretty much brave man by those
able to work their minds beyond an an
cry brainstorm.
Speaking in the house of commons Mr..
Attlee said a few things about Mussoll-
mis- present course in AbySslnla, which
aroused the ire of one Captain G. A. Fan
ELI. editor of an Italian paper in London,
who decided he was personally insulted
and II Duce was insulted before the
world by what the Englishman had said
Captain Fanelli thereupOn issued
challenge to Mr. Attlee to meet HIM III
duel.
Here is Mr.. Attlee S reply: The sup
preston of free institutions in your own
country makes excusable your ignorance
of the fact that the speaker OF the house
of commons may Judge what IS admls-
sable in parliamentary debate. Your
suggestion that | give you satisfaction
via the obsolete and barbarous method OF
the duel indicates your failure to appre-
ciate such essentials.
THE fact of your proving superior IN
armed combat is quite irrelevant to the
issue of the proprety of your govern
ments action in Abyssinia."
In the language of the street, that's
telling him." and particularly IN that fin
al paragraph.

Attlee is, for it took courage to write
what he did, and moreover he really
