Whatever difference of opinion may
exist as to the advisability of freu
coinage of silver, there is one proposi-
tion upon which all patriotic Amer-
cans agree, viz: Legislation in Amer-
ica, by Americans, should be for
America. Starting fn m this point,
let us consider the silver question free
from all considerations of coinage or
ratio or other controversial attributes,
and ton ti ne our investigations to a line
of facts and consequences which are
capable of demonstration, and easy of
comprehension.
It is a peculiar situation that con-
fiontsusat this lime, and demands
solution; ar.d should every American
agree to the proposition to stop coin-
ing silver, anil all controversy over its
use as money be forever settled in the
United States, there would still exist
a silver question, which we as a peo-
thiit tho "chimos of tho tall, Im-
ported clock fall musically 011 tho
ears of tho guests," etc. Unfortu-
nately the cost of tho clock and the
umount of duty paid on it aro omit-
ted from an otherwise succinct ami
lucid tale of splendor.

Speaking of Major Uutterw orth's
high praiso of Miss Pollard uh an ac-
tress, the Philadelphia Press says
that "thoro was a mighty good theat-
rical advance agent spoiled when the
distinguished Ohioan took to law and
law-making." On tho contrary tho
major's law practice doos not seem
to have impaired his capabilities for
the other calling in the least. If

The monstrous fallacy that a po-
liceman can do 110 wrong extends, it
seems, even to coroner's juries in
Chicago. Officer Nicholas draco,

forsooth, the man whom he killed
whs not the man I10 wantod to kill.

Does advertising pay? How
often you have puzzled ovor this
problem. Sometimes you think it
doos and then again you aro not so
certain. The undisputed fact that
evory large business in tho country
has been helped to success by news-
paper advertising doos not solve the
question of its benefit to you. That
no business in our day can or doos
achieve prominence without tho aid
of newspaper publicity is perhaps
the chief incentive that induce?
you to use it as a trade bnngor.
Thk romarkablo fluency of Kossuth
in English, which was a tongue lie
only learnod after he had grown to
mature years, is more surprising tho
moro it is explained. John A. Nich-
olas writes in the New York
Sun that Kossuth told hiin
that when speaking in English
his mind pel-formed tliroo dis
tlnct o; orations. Ho thought in
Hungarian, translated that into
I.atin, and then from Latin into
English. It is probably truo that
most people who understand several
languages do their thinking in tho
one they learned in infancy, ltut to
translate into two foreign tongues,
and 0110 of these a dead language,
seems to bo almost incredible.
The party which started to drive

the interest of novelty, and iniy re-
sult in the settlement of many vexed
questions of geography and typo-
graphy. It will also liavo 1111 im-
portant bearing upon tho proposed

which is impracticable for mounted

no more chimerical than tho numer-
ous expeditions to tho North pole,
and its result will probably bo luueli
less disastrous to the oxplorors.

I will now state such facts as a 0
shown to exist from governmental
statistics and other reliable source-i
1. Food and cotton are the two
principal products exported front tho
United States, and constitute fully
one-half of the total exports. (Sec
tabic of exports in World's Almanac,
or any other reliable compilation.)
2. drain and cotton are also two
principal exports of India and Kgypt
,'i. The price of al! grain and cotton
exported is governed by what it will
bring at Liverpoo', and the price of
our products at Liverpool is governed
by the cost of obtaining them from
sonic other Source.
4. '1 lie United States is a producer
of silver, and India is a consumer or
user of silver.
5. An ounce of silver is worth one
dollar and thirty-seven cents (91.37)
In India, where it is used almost ex-
(lusively as money, anil coined at a
ratio of 15 to I with gold,
f>. If silver is cheap in America an
<lear in Indiiit will buy more there
than it will here until the price here
of similar products drops in propor
tion to the price of silver. Therefore
the price of our wheat and cotton in
Liverpool depends upon what silver
costs in America and what it will buy
in India. Any difference between the
value of silver in Aiuer t a and India
will measure the depreciation in the
price of American wheat and cotton.
7. The last proposition is simply a
statement of well-known economic
law which regulates prices and gov"
ems all business transactions; but if
corroborative froof is required that
wheat and cotton and other compet-
ing staples aro g vcrned closely by !
the frico of silver bullion, it is only |
necessary to compare the average
prices of these ftaples with that of
silver for the last twenty years and
note the steady depreciation in a;;rl I
cultural product", which has kept |
pace with the depression of silver.

staples exported must continue, while effect of any action which «*ill in-
Euio.o can exchange silver in the I
must depend on the e.xttnt to which
it raises the price of silver. No pur-
chase of silver at its market value ean
raise the price to fcl.2U an ounce as
long as Kngland fixes the market price
and refuses to buy above a certain
figure, but if America fixes a price at
8-1.211 an ounce England can not buy
for less, and the trade of South Ameri-
ca and Mexico would flow to this
country, where their surplus silver
would exchange for more goods than
in Europe. This would compel Eu-
rope to pay them about the same pri e
as we do for silver, in order to hold
the trade of all the countries south of
us. Jf Europe did not take their sil-
ver at SI.29 an ounce in exchange for
goods, it would come to us in ex-
change for ^'oods; and we would ex-
change it again for tea, coffee, spices,
and other products of Asia, where sil-
ver is dearer than here, and make a
pi ofit on the si.ver of about') per cent;
and American merchants would con-
trol the trade of Eastern Asia and
South America, as long as Europe re-
fused to take silver from tho latter
and exchange it for goods in the
former.
There is much more that can be said
in defense of America dictating the
price of silver to the world. Such as
the Lencfit to the American farmer in
prices of what he se Is at home. The
general prosperity which is dependent
upon the rewards of agriculture and
mining leing adequate. The building
up of American commerce and the
restoration of a commercial navy, as
the result of iue eased trade with Asia
and South America.
I'ut as these are all matters over
which there might arise discussion and
controversy, it is enough to show that
wo can not ignore silver without
great financial loss and that we must
either coin or buy the world's surplus
every year to prevent it depreciating
the price of all tho cotton and grain
we >eud abroad. That any ratio
greater than sixteen to one would
perpetuate the depreciation of silver,
and consequt ntly the value of what
we sell abro d, as long as our Asiatic
coupe ti tors value silver at the rate of
fifteen to one and will exchange theii
products for it on that basis.
To prevent the export loss of value
of 200 to 400 million dollars annually,
which must exist as long as silver is
worth 70 cents an ounce in America
and $1.37 in India, it would be a good
business transaction for America to
expend 5? 100,000,000 annually, if neces-
sary, in purchasing si ver at $1.29 per
ounce, even if we buried every ounce
in the deepest waters of the Atlantic
ocean, for the investment would yield
over $10 >,000,000 annually to the pro-
ducers of this country.
ISo good business man would furnish
a customer with the means to buy
from a competitor at about haH cost
and thus compel hiinse'f to accept
lower prices. That is what we do
when we let silver be sold at 70 cents
a i ounce, which our competitors will
accept at $1.37 an ounce. A policy
w hieli is i uinous for a business man is
ruinous for the nation, for we lose
double the whole value of the product
of our silver mines annually in the de-
preciation of value in wheat and cot-
ton sent abroad. We might close the
American mines by paying the miners
wages and the owners profits lor re-
maining idle, but w should yet have
th surplus si ver of Mexico and South
America to take care of. Free an l
unlimited coinage will do it with, ut
spending a dollar of government
money, but if there is danger of such
a policy making mo: ey too abundant,
as manv suppose, and ct ngress can
not agree on a free coinage act, there
east for tin se articles to our disad-
vantage. The effect of present lo v
prices must be to drive men oat of
mining and raising whea  and cotton
to other channels of industry until
tho excessive competition in every
line has equalized wages and protits
on a lower scale.
10. It being self-evident that Eu-
r; pe can buy our staples cheap as long
as she can buy our silver cheap the
law of self-preservation dictates that
we should tom pel Eur pe to pay at
least $1.20 an ounce for silver in order
that we may secure the full value of
our staphs, and pay our foreign
debts with the least drain UfOn out*
resources.
11 With this advantage in Europe's
favor, and especially England s, who
is the largest purchaser of wheat and
cotton, no international agr  eineyt
that will increase I he prices of silver
can be expected un ess foived upon
them by America
12. lo do this we must make a mar-
ket for all the surplus si v. r produced
at $1.29 an ounce, either by purchas-
ing at that price or coiniu£ all that
offers at present ratio, or by some
other method wh eli will act oznplisli

change therefor.

from the money stringency by restor-

Senator Teller of the committee on
part of the senate which recently vis-
ited the Indian .Territory, has fur-
nished the outline of what the com-
mittee will recommond in the way of
reforms for the government of the tive
civilized tribes of Indians in the terri-
tory. In part the senator said: "We
will recommend an immediate change
in the judicial system of the tive civil-
ized tribes. We will ask another Tutted
States judge with officials to arm his
court just like the one now established
there. Then we will aim to give more
powers to the United States commis-
sioners so that they can do more of the
business. Our object is to deeiease
the cost of maintaining the depart-
ment of justice in that country, which
last year was over $*135,000, and also
•an meet is placed at the disposal of
the governor, secretary and superin-
tendent of public instruction. A
similar bill passed the house. The
secretary of the interior did not like
the bill as it was in the line of relax-
ing the departmental hold in Okla-
homa.

Concerning other features the senator
added: "Then there must be a change
