SCRANTON, MAY 4, 1805.
Editor Smith's Address.
"We reproduce, on another page of this
Issue, the salient features of the brll
Ilant address recently delivered before
the house of representatives at Harris
burs by Charles Emory Smith, In reply
to Charles Heber Clnrk's argument for
the Independent remonetlzatlon of pll
ver by the United States. It Is a mns-
terpleca of adroit argument, reflecting
new credit upon Its exceedingly gifted
author. With? much of It we can cor
dially agree. But we should like to ask
Mr. Smith to elucidate one or two1 points
concerning which' his speech is not
Wholly clear.
If ive correctly understand Mr.
Smith's position, he Is In favor of the
remonetlzatlon of silver by Interna
tlonal aotion; but until that action shall
nave been taken, he concurs In the ar
guments of the gold monometallists
that no more silver should bo coined by
the United States, Ho predicts, of
course, that an international agreement
Is nean at hand. But will not the clos.
ing of our mints to silver, so far from
hastening such an agreement, have the
exactly opposite effect of indefinitely
postponing It? And if such should
prove true; if no international agree
ment should be reached within, say, the
next five years, is our distinguished
Philadelphia friend in favor of letting
silver slide altogether, and falling back
wholly upon our limited stock of gold
for our primary money; or would ho
avoid that dangerous measure of cur
rency contraction by supplementing our
gold money, oa Mr. Cleveland'3 Wall
street advisers suggest, by the issue of
state bank currency, or paper inflation,
pure and simple? In other words.
would he prefer one-cent paper dollars
to fifty-cent silver dollars, assuming
that we could not get gold enough to
do business with, unaided?
While the burden of Mr. Smith's brll
Ilant argument Is directed against the
fifty-cent silver dollar, he yet admits
that an agreement among the nations
could make the fifty-cent silver dollar
precisely as valuable as the hundred
cent gold dollar. But will the nations
foe influenced to come to such an agree
ment while men like Mr. Cleveland and
Mr. Smith are doing their level best to
discredit silver and to appreciate gold?
In other words, shall the attitude of
the United States, which is the greatest
ellve producing country In the world,
be hostile or friendly to Its own silver
production; and shall it discourage or
encourage international bimetallism?
Can any protectionist consistently pre
tend friendship for silver while doing
all In his power to check its rehabilita
tion; and la the United States ready to
make it easier than ever before for
gold exporters to enrich- themselves by
breeding panics and by tying up the
processes of business?
The Use and Abuse of the English
Language.
Two able Chicago Journals are at
loggerheads over the use of the words
"farther" and "further;" one claiming
Ithat they may be used Interchangeably
Without sensible violation of the pro
prieties of our language, and the other
contending that "farther" refers to ex
cess of distance, and "further" to excess
of quantity or degree. If an outsider
may be permitted to venture a word,
we should say that the latter conten
tion Is sanctioned by the most recent
and also by the most careful lexico
graphers. The beauty of modern Eng
lish Is Its gradual response to the dispo
sition of Its users to employ words so as
to bring out fine and subtle shades of
meaning. The vocabulary of the aver
age uneducated man 'seldom exceeds
H. 200 words. To a. man with more than
I, 200 thoughts so limited a vocabulary
would obviously prove embarrassing.
'As he gains in flexibility of knowledge
and power of original thinking it nat
urally follows that his vocabulary
must Increase correspondingly, unless
he be content with such a. stock of
words as only crudely and roughly ap
proximates to a correct voicing of his
meanings.
We know of no nice distinction be
tween two words often used inter
changeably which better illustrates this
gradual Improvement of our mother
tongue than does the distinction to
which we have Just alluded. There are
mental concepts in relation to distance
which are subjected to Indignity if the
same word which expresses them is to
be indifferently used also In the expres
sion of ideas, relating to quantity and
degree. Thus, If we were to say, "John I
walked farther than James," and,
again, that "John progressed In his
studies farther than James," we should
have the anomalous condition of one
word trying to convey two widely dif
ferent meanings. Our vocal currency
would in such an emergency be con
tracted, threatening Intellectual stag
nation; whereas, the aim of wise
scholarship in lexicography, as of wise
statesmanship In economies, is steadily
to expand the currency of the people to
the furthest limit consistent with gen
eral safety.
In its earlier day the English was es
sentially a vigorous rather than a nice
language. It conveyed the thoughts of
robust but unpolished men; of men who
were conquering natural obstacles or
taming the forces of nature; and who
had, therefore, no tlmo to spare for the
cultivation of the graces of art and
literature. It is the good fortune, how
ever, of the English-speaking peoples of
today to live in an age which allows
time for this cultivation which, indeed,
expects that the time thus allowed will
be honestly Improved. A responsibility
rests upon our writers and speakers so
to employ the common Instrument of
speech as to encourage and not repress
this steady widening of the mental and
moral horizon. Though we all fall
much too often In our duty In this direc
tion, it should be a pleasuro for con
scientious writers to avoid deliberate
carelessness.
found peace, the nation must' go In
debt. How shall these bonds be paid?
If car fenders can save human life In
other cities, why should there be any
disinclination on the part of councils to
hasten their coming In .Scranton?
The Cause of flany Peculations.
In announcing the pardon of young
Loul3 A. Hilllnrd, the embezzling
cashier of the Chicago TrHiune Publish
ing company who, two years ago, ab
sconded with 18,000 of hla employers'
money, Governor Altgeld, of Illlonls, af
ter citing the young man's contrition
and exemplary behavior during the first
half of his four-yenr term of Imprison
ment, makes the following interesting
comment:
There is another point sugfrestcil by this
case and that l: How far the Integrity
and sense of rlfjht of young men employed
4n soma law moneymnklngestiibllHhmunts
is undermined and weakened by a knowl
edge of the fuct that tlielr employers nre
gaining large sums of money which, whllo
not always obtained by criminal menus,
nevertheless In equity and Kood conscience
do not belong to them. This young mim
hnd chnrpe of the fluanelnl department of
the Tribune company. He knew that
tho Tribune company rented ground be
longing to the Chicago school fund, and In
stead of paying a fair cash annual rental
on It had managed to Ret things so fixed
that it pocketed in the neighborhood of
,(V)9 a year of money which ought to
have gone to the school fund. He also
knew thnt, while the Tribune had a cash
market value of upward of $3,ono,0"0 and
should have been assessed for purposes
of general taxation at not less than $iJ0,-
000, the company hart managed things so
that It was actually assessed at only J1S.-
000, and ho saw that It annually pocketed
in tho neighborhood of $J0.(,'i, which would
have gono Into the public treasury as
tnxes if tho Tribune company had paid the
same proportion of taxes on its property
that other people paid on theirs. In other
words, he saw thnt the Tribune eomtmny
annually pocketed upward of JiiO.OOO of
money which, in equity and good con
science, should have belonged to the pub
lic treasury, and he saw that, notwith
standing this fact, Jho owners of the Trib
une were eminent and Highly respected
citizens. The natural effect of all this
was to weaken the moral force of the
young man, as well as his sense of Integ
rity. There is no question but that similar
conditions exist In other large olllces, and,
while this cannot be any excuse for the
commission of crime by employes, it Is a
fact that Is to be deplored and for which
some remedy should bo found.
We naturally have no means of know
ing whether these assertions of the gov
ernor aire true In the particular case in
hand; Ibut in a general sense there Is
obviously much shrewd philosophy In
his belief that perhaps a large share of
the business peculations of the time
are the legitimate outgrowth of dishon
est practices by employers. What per
centage of the commercial transactions
of the United States for the year 1S95,
reaching up in the aggregate to several
hundred billions of dollars, will, wo
wonder, foe strictly honest and honor
able? What percentage of them will
not represent an effort on one part or
the other to obtain an unfair advan
tage? In what percentage ot them will
there be present that conscientious re
gard for equity which should character
ize tho transactions of civilized Christians?
Governor Altgeld is no doubt an ec
centric creature in some respects, but
we should not he surprised if, in his
latest outbreak, he had stumbled upon
the discovery of a very fruitful cause of
dishonesty among employes.
Professor Coles' prediction of cyclonic
disturbances in the western states dur-
ng the first week of May has been
verified, as is shown in the report of
fatal storms at Sioux Center and
Orange City, la. He also predicts se
vere storms in the south, from May 1R
to 31. Predictions for April made by
him were verified In every Instance.
The metereologlcal perspicacity of the
Electric Eye is evidently not to be
scouted. 1
According Ito a Minnesota' decision
Just rendered In a suit against a re
porter for tho St. Paul Pioneer-Press,
no action for libel can hold good unless
directed against the publisher of a
newspaper. The theory behind this de
cision presumably Is that since the pub
lisher pockets the iproflts, he should also
pay the fiddler. The ruling,, it is safe
to say, will have the enthusiastic ap
plause of all reporters.
The New York assembly has Just
passed a law authorizing cities In that
state to pass ordinances compelling
street railway companies to adopt
safety fenders. Such a law is unneces
sary In Pennsylvania, Where municipal
councils already have the right to en
act such local legislation; 'btit in Scran
ton this right is apparently ignored.
Why?
The Cleveland Idea of etoifnd money
appears to be to buy foreign gold at
exorbitant prices by the Issue of gov
ernment bonds. Thus, In time of pro-
It Is woll not to be too. certain that
England has relaxed her grip on Nica
ragua. There is such a thing in dl
plomacy as making a feint.
THE CURRENCY QUESTION.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The "currency question" as dls
cussed by Mr. Chittenden In your Issue of
Aprll27 gives us some historical datawmcn
reminds ono of the saying of Josh Hill
ings, that some people know a great many
things that are not so. Ho say "the fun
dumental historic fact of the discussion,
that this has always been a gold basis
country, seems to be overlooked or denied.
From 1801. when Jefferson forbade the fur
thor coinage of silver dollars, up to 1873 less
than $8,000,000 were coined." Let us first
consider the "gold basis" Idea during this
Derlod and see whero we shall land. Tho
constitution gave congress the power to
"coin money and regulate tho valuo there
of." Congress adopted silver and gold as
money. It. then proceeded to fix tho unit;
that Is, It then fixed what should consti
tute ono dollar or unit, and congress fixed
this monetary unit to consist of 871 ?4
grains of pure silver, providing at the
same, time for a certain amount of alloy
to lie mixed with It to give It greater
hardness and durability. This law was
passed April 2, 1TSC. I now read from the
United States statutes:
"Uollurs or units eac h to bo of the valuo
of a Spnnlxh milled dollar, as the name Is
now current, and to contnln three hun
dred nnd scventy-ono grains and four-
sixteenths part of a grain of pure or four
hundred nnd sixteen grains of standard
sliver." This Is tho statute that fixed tho
unit nnd is tho only statute on tho subject
till wo come to 1S73.
e
Now, then, that much silver was to con-
stltulo a dollar; each dollnr was a unit
and dimes, quarters nnd half dollars wore
exact fractional parts of tho unit. Oold
was made money, but Its value was
counted from Ihese silver units or dollars
the ratio between sliver and gold was
fixed at 15 to 1 by weight nml nfterwards
by changing tho gold coin nt 10 to 1. The
sliver unit wns never changed during nil
this lime, and this stntute continued to
be tho law up to 1X7.1. While this was tho
law it was lmpossihte for any one to say
that the silver In tho silver dollar was
worth less than HiO cents on a dollar. For
It was tho unit of value and could not be
worth less than Its own measure; less than
Itself. As tho law fixed 37111 grains of
pure silver as a unit, the silver dollar eouid
not change, but the quantity of gold In
the gold dollnr being lixeil by ratio could
and (1M change by the change of ratio.
History points to the fact that for all
these years from 17!2 to 1S7.1 sliver In Its
eornmc rclal use was steady In the market,
seldom fluctuating moro than ono or two
points, nlthough during portions of this
time Its production was largely in excess
of gold. Even in gold standard England
whore sliver was demonetized ns early as
INN!, it did not vnry more thnu 2 per cent.,
nnd this wns due chiefly to the differences
In ratio between silver-using countries.
To summarize: We had free coinage over
a period of eighty years of both metals at.
a fixed ratio with little or no fluctuation
In lie commercial value of either; duo to
ine luci mill an iirinniiieii iemnna at ine
mints was established for two precious
meliils of limited production, nnd the point
fixed at which either could take advantage
of that demand. This was true bimetal
lism, indeed, although In point of argu
ment, we were, up to 1S73, on a silver busts.
As to the amount of silver coined,
Mr. Chittenden states that ?S,O0,fiflO was
the mintage from 1702 to 1873 and that ns
early as ISOl Jefferson forbade further
coinage of silver dollars, which, If true,
gives him prestige over Mr. Cleveland In
tho exercise of executive functions. I llnd
that prior to 1S73 thero were 10."i,000,iM of
silver coined by tho United States and that
was In silver dollars, nnd ninety-five mill
Ion in silver dimes, quarters and half dol
lars. In addition to this, about JllW.OOO.OuO
of foreign silver had found Its way Into
this country prior to 1800 and had nil been
made legal tender In the United States by
acts of congress. We needed more silver
than we hnd and congress passed laws
making nil foreign silver coins legal ten
der In the United States. These nets nr3
scattered all through the statutes prior
to 1S73. Let me read one:
"And be It further enacted, that from
and after tho passage of this net the fol
lowing silver coins shall pass current ns
money within the United States for the
payment of all debts nnd demands at the
rates following, etc., etc."
On account of tho scarcity of silver both
Jefferson and Jackson recommended that
dimes, quarters and halves would better
serve tho people than dollars until more
silver bullion could be obtained. This wus
the reason why only eight millions of tho
one hundred nnd five millions were coined
into sliver dollars. During the struggle to
get more silver France made a bid for it
by establishing a lower ratio, 1614 to 1.
This made sliver In France worth (1.03,
and so to keep our silver from leaving
us congress In 18.13 hnd our fractional
silver coins made of lighter weight so
made for the standing of silver under bi
metallism. Wo had about $205,000,000 In
tho country and were doing all we could
to get more and hold on to what we hail.
Thus silver and gold were the measures of
value, both money of redemption; al
though from 1S00 to 1873 neither was in cir
culation.
On Feb. 12, 1S73, congress passed an act
purporting to be a revision of the coin
age laws. This law covers fifteen pages
of our statutes. It repealed the unit
clause In tho law of 1702 and In Its place
substituted a law In tho following lan
guage: "That tho gold coins of the United States
shall be a one-dollnr piece, which at the
standard weight of twenty-five and eight
tenths grains, shnll be the unit of value."
It then deprived silver of its right to un
restricted coinage and destroyed It as a
legnl tender money In the payment of
debts except to the amount of five dollars.
At that time we were all using paper
money and It was not until specie pay
ments were about to be resumed that tho
country began to realize what had been
done. Sliver had been demonetized, ns It
were, by stealth one-half of the primary
money of the country outlawed leaving
gold alone as the sole money of redemp
tion, and making all our credit money,
even sliver Itself, practically redeemable
In gold coin. Hence, having lost Its prin
cipal use and function, Us true money
value by legislative enactment, silver
must necessarily decline In vnlue; and
gpld performing Its normal function and
that of silver, too, must necessarily ap
preciate as a measure of value.
What effect this contraction of our pri
mary money hag had upon the commercial
affairs and the welfare and happlneBS of
the people of this nation cannot be told
here. Borne thought for reflection, how
ever. Is afforded by the following: "At the
Christian era the metallla money of the
Roman empire amounted to $1,800,000,000.
By the end of the fifteenth century It had
shrunk to $200,000,000. (Or. Adam Smith
informs us that In 1455 the price of wheat
In England was two-pence per bushel).
Population dwindled and commerce, arts,
wealth and freedom all disappeared. The
people were reduced by poverty and mis.
ery to the most degraded condition of serf
dom and slavery. The disintegration of
society was almost complete. History
records no such dangerous transition as
that from the Roman empire to the dark
ages. The discovery of the new world by
Columbus returned the balance of pre
cious metals, brought with It rising prices,
enabled society to reunite Its shattered
jinks, shake off the shacklos of feudalism,
afd to relight and uplift the almost ex
tlngif!hed torch of civilization." Report
