Common Sense On Currency Reform.
At a time when many woll-meanlnfr
men seem to bo gradually approaching
a crisis of mental self-deception with
reference to the relation which the
greenback bears to our currency sys-
tcm. and nppenr to be bent on diffus
ing their Imagined alarm among the
people, thereby scaring them out of
some year's growth, It Is refreshing to
encounter a student of financial prob
""letrifTand a banker who does not share
.Jn this mild mania of apprehension.
:"AFow- men In New York city stand

Sonable assurance that this form will

ple, than be made the subject of agl
tatIon which uould have no other ef
, feet than again to unsettle business
confidence. Ho is quoted as saying:
A dollar In greenbacks represents four
or live times that amount of credit. Is
the national bank note to bo equally
.i. Influential?. Behind the national bank
note stands, after all, the credit of the
government, precisely as behind the
greenback stands the credit of tho gov
ernment, and Is it fair to Infer that tho
credit In ono case is any better than it
Is in the other? Is it fair to Infer that
If a sudden convulsion or war should
come to this country, tho banks would
bo any better able to protect their cur
lency than tho government is? I 'on't
pretend to say whether they would be
or not, but I do feel that this is a ques
tion which must lie approaciieu wun
the utmost care, wltl any sounding
of danger signals, and i protest against
this constant Iteration of a charge that
the greenback Is an ever-present danger,
unless nt the same time something Is
offered which common senso and ex.
peilenco will suggest to every Intelli
gent person is as good as the greenback
nt its best, and free from the objec
tions which certainly can bo discovered
In tho system.
This, we take It, Is substantially the
position of the Republican party on
this subject. It does not oppose cur
rency reform when urged at the proper
time and in the proper manner: on the
contrary, it is ready and willing to lend
the aid of Its statesmanship to correct
what evils may be shown to exist In
the present currency of the country.
But It does object to the insensate at
tempt of the small group of discredited
"reformers" who cluster around ex
President Cleveland politically and
draw Intellectual Inspiration from
Mugwump sources to stampede the
country Into a new campaign of rain
bow chasing Just at the time when,
after four years of business havoc the
fruit of these agitators' former efforts
there is to bo seen on every hand the
happy evidences of prosperity's return.
Propriety should suggest to such false
guides as Messrs. Carlisle, Eckles &
Co. have shown themselves to bo that
the most appropriate policy for them
to adopt In tho present Juncture of af
fairs Is the policy of silence. The
country Is heartily sick of their babble
and tired of the whole chattering brood
of agitators who menace Its peace and
disturb its convalescence.

This Is conservatively but Justly ar
gued. It Is a wise principle, handed
down from the very beginning of
human Justice, and ratified by the ap
proval of the best Judgment of civil
ization, that every man Is entitled to
be held Innocent of crime until proven
guilty. In case a man or a number of
men fall under suspicion of lawless
ness It was, until recently, everywhere
regarded as fair nnd Just that tho
question of Innocence or guilt should
bo decided by a Jury of peers. Cut
of late we seem to be drifting to
ward a svstem of Judicial Interpreta
tion and execution of law which restB
upon the theory that men who engage
In peaceful movements to better their
Industrial conditions mny.at the court's
option, be deemed guilty until they can
prove themselves Innocent, nnd that

place, nssumes their guilt. This drift
will need to be halted else there will

Have Inventions
Injured Labor?
From tho Troy Times.
If ever there was a. question that had
been thoroughly dlBCUSRCd and consid
ered from all points of view, It Is the
one, "Do labor-saving machines deprive
men of labor?" The discussion prob
ubly began tome time back In tho stono
age, nnd It has continued ever since.
With tho Introduction of any new de
vice revolutionizing production, tho dis
cussion brenkB out with renewed force.
Only recently the Invention and Intro
duction of a now machine for blowing
glass Jars has stirred up trouble, tho
men who have been earning a liveli
hood In this Industry asserting that the
invention has deprived them oi an oc
cupation upon which they depended for
support. Very naturally thoy feel ag
grieved, and both they and their friends
declaro that this labor-saving device, as
well as all other labor-saving devices,
Is injurious to labor. In making this
statement, however, they have In mind
only tho lmmedlato and not the perman
ent results. Labor Is an abstract term
and Is applied to tho workers In gen
eral and not to a few Individuals. Whllo
tho Individuals may sufTer from tho
revolutionizing of an Industry, the class,

THE PHILOSOPHY OP BEARDS.
Justice Versus Injunctions.
The governor of West Virginia, Mr.
Atkinson, who by tho way Is a Repub.
lican, does not take kindly to the mod
ern use, by certain Judges, ono of whom
resides in his own state, of tho In
junction as a weapon to restrain the
rights of workingmen to assemble In
orderly manner for tho discussion of
grievances. In d public letter he says:
"Capital and labor are Inter-dependent,
and, In my Judgment, injunctions of
courts of the modern kind, are doing
' more to widen the breach between
them, than all other causes combined.
I have profound respect for courts of
Justice, and have always, hitherto, up.
held them, but I fear they are going
too far In the Issuing of Injunctions re
straining' the natural rights of the peo-
"pie, for two particular reasons.
""" "First, the tendency Is to usurp tho
--prerogatives of tho executive depart
ment of republican Institutions, which
is dangerops, because 'the three co-ordinate
branches of our government are
intended by our constitution to bo kept
j- forever djstlnct and separate from one
another. It Is a fact apparent to all
well-informed people, that the men who
" seek Injunctions for their grievances,
In most every Instance aro afforded
j. ample rediess by remedies vA law.
Why, then, should they not uso tho
legal, Instead of the Judicial remedy?
If this course were pursued, the people
would have much less cause to com
plain of the actions of our courts than
they now have.
"My second reason for the opinion I
entertain upon this subject Is the rapid
growth of a jostlle feeling or sentiment
of labor towards capital, In this coun
try. Instead of ullnwlng this breach to
grow wider and wider oach passing
year, as It Is now doing, every possible
effort should bo made to lessen it. I
am cne of those who believe In tho peo.
pie. I have always found the great
'mass of our people to be honest and
--well meaning. It Is unjust as well as
untrue to charge that tho great body
of the American people are tending to
wards anarchy. It Is a falsa accusa
tion. Tho people will do right, nnd arti
easily controlled, If they are properly
and fairly dealt with. So long ns they
aro restricted jn their natural rights,

The Crisis In India.
The administrative capacity of Brit
ish statesmanship for colonial govern
ment, concerning which so many boasts
have been made, Is apparently about
to undergo a supremo test In India.
All the accounts coming from trust
worthy sources agree that Anglo-Indian
rule is nearlng a crisis beside
which the Sepoy rebellion of 1S57 may
appear mild. As yet we have only
scattering reports of sporadic upris
ings of Indian tribesmen On the Pun
Jaub frontier, but those who have been
In India and studied in detail the situa
tion thero aver that there is reason to
suspect the existence of a deeply-laid
conspiracy, Including the Mohammedan
natives, the Afghan Influence and se
cret Russian intrigue, to improve the
opportunity occasioned by the famine
and the plague, with their incitement
of native discontent, to strike a grand
blow at British overlordship and, as
the natives believe, do away with Brit
ish oppression.
Those who have read the exceeding
ly vivid and Instructive papers on In
dia by Julian Hawthorne lately printed
in the Cosmopolitan magazine will be
prepared to appreciate tho temper of
the native millions for whom English
occupation has seemingly meant abso
lutely nothing save spoliation. It Is
not clear that England could have ma
terially Improved her policy In India.
The natives of that teeming land ap
pear In some respects to resemble the
North American Indians, notably In
filth, superstition, treacherousness and
unresponsiveness to nttempts at their
civilization. Unfit, according to the
Caucasian standard, to govern them
selves, they seem to be equally unfit to
be governed by a superior race, and It
may be fair to say for John Bull, as
was said of the western fiddler, that
he "has done the be3t he could." Ho
has Introduced Improvements which
the natives don't appreciate, ho has
ordered salutary reforms which they
refuse to obey, and he has preserved
under Innumerable difficulties a good
show of patience. True, he has also
feathered his own nest, or, to use
another figure, has sucked the orange
well-nigh dry; but that is what British
colonization Is for. It may be doubted
If any other European power could
have done so well.
Nevertheless, this kind of argument
doesn't appease the natives nor lessen
the gravity of the situation in India.
Wo begin to perceive the underlying
significance of that, at tho time, some
what strange Jubilee poem of Rudyard
Kipling, which, coming In the train of
Inordinate boasting, sounds like the
rattling of a skeleton at the feast. We
quote four stanzas of it as showing Its
ptophetlc Import:
Tho tumult and tho shouting ales
The captains and kings depart;
Still stands Thine- ancient sacrlnco.
An numuie and a contrlto heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet.
Lest we forget lest wo forget.
Carroll D. Wright, United States com
missioner of labor, in a recent magazine
article takes up this question of whether
labor-saving machines deprive men of
labor, nnd of course he answers It In tho
negative. Familiarity with the history of
Industrial effort throughout nil periods
of the world's progress aompcls such an
answer, and no other is possible. No ono
disputes that much distress Is often
caused by tho Introduction of new ma
chinery. Men loso employment nnd are
forced into Idleness, but In more than
ninety-nine per cent, of these cases tho
distress Is only tomporary. A man who
was a good workman beforo the Intro
duction of tho new machinery finds thnt
his only need Is to turn his efforts Into
n new channel, nnd his services are still
in demand. Improvement in tho method
of production invariably means a greater
demand, and with tho Increased demand
come greater opportunities for labor.
o
The statistics show that In countries
where machinery is most generally em
ployed the largest percentago of tho
population Is engaged In remunerative
occupations. The recent history of Japan
Is most Interesting in this connection.
Only a few years ago the Japanese did
the great bulk of their work by hand,
employing only tho rudest of tools and
appliances. Under the new order of things
machinery hns taken the plnco of hand
labor, but labor has not Buffered. In
point of fact, the Japaneso now receives
a wage that his father never dreamed of,
and, furthermore, his services aro con
stantly In demand. What Is true of Japan
Is true of all other countries which have
shown progress. There may bo a few
industries the workers In which have se
cured no apparent gain from tho intro
duction of machinery, but theso aro iso
lated cases.
o
Probably the chief point of dispute
concerns the effect which machinery haB
upon the character and ability of the
workmen. It Is contended that "the ma
chine does so much that the hand be
comes tho slavo of tho machine." If
this argument were true it would mean
that human inventiveness is waning and
that tho introduction of now machinery
takes away from tho workman his crea
tive ability, ho In turn becoming a mere
machine. This Is certainly not the case.
The greatest of Inventors are the work
men themselves. They seo before them
a device which Induces study of its prin
ciples, and through this study they are
unconsciously receiving a mechanical ed
ucation. There is hardly an Industry that
can bo named In which tho workers are
not moro intelligent than were their pre.
deccssors at the timo beforo machines
superseded hand labor.
o
To declaro that the press of new In
volitions Is compassing the downfall of
frco and Intelligent labor Is to admit
lgnoranco of the true facts. Concerning
this subject the Hartford Cournnt says:
"This question of the effect of machinery
on mankind Is a complicated one, but
it is nonsense to say that 'machinery
degrades labor and exalts capital.' Man
has been defined as tho 'tool-making ani
mal,' .and civilization is accompanied by
tho development and specialization of
tools. Our Vankoo race Is a race of In
ventors and builders of tools, and It Is
going to keep on in its appointed mis
felon. Napoleon said that 'God was on
tho side of the strongest battalion.'
Nowadays progress is on the side of tho
nation with the best machinery."
Americans, who have so much reason
for gratitudo to Inventors, should be tho
very last of all to declare that theso In
ventors havo wrought harm instead of
good. With object-lessons on every hand
it is only the wilfully blind who will
not see.

Aro whiskers going out of fashion?
This Is an Important question to a good
many men, and an authentic answer to
It Is essential. We are by no moans euro
that Buch an crswer can yet bo given.
Tho New York Mall and Express speaks
of "a whlskerless craze" that Is sweep
ing over tho country, but the ovldences
of It aro not ye: wholly conclusive. Such
changes come slowly. That they do como
Is beyond dispute. Tho time when clean
shaven faces were the rule Is still within
tho memory of living man. Fifty years
ago beards and moustaches were little
worn. Tho portraits of that period show
this; they also suggest a reason why.
Tho old-fashioned "stock" required a
smooth face to set off Its beauties. More
over, it took the place of a beard In the
caso of men with dellcato throats. As for
the moustache, that was considered alto
gether too rakish for tho plain civilian.
In Major Pcndennls' tlmo it was an af
fectation for a man not In the guards to
wear one. But slnco then the moustache
has ceased to indicate martial ardor. It
Is seldom worn long and sweeping, and
curled up fiercely at the ends. Except for
the purposo of concealing an upper up
not moulded on classical models. It is a
rather unnecessary adornment. Most
men take very little comfort in it. par
ticularly at meal times. Perhaps we have
lost tho art of wearing It with grace and
skill. If fashion decrees that beards ana
moustaohes must go there will be relief
In the thought aftor the first shock.

British domination In India has "put
its trust In reeking tubo and Iron
shard," and the next few months
promise to disclose whether that trust
Is wisely located.
Meanwhile It may be .permitted to doubt
whether "a whlskerless craze" really is
sweeping over the country. The Prlnco
of Wales is supposed to be the glass of
fashion and the mould of form to tho
English race. But H. It. H. wears a full
beard and a moustache, rather closely cut
and giving an extremely neat appearanco
to tho face. This Is a very different
thing from tho Popullstlo style of whis
ker, which is long, flowing and often un
kempt and which by Its disorder betrays
an unquiet mind. Indeed, if thero is a
growing prejudice ngainst whiskers, we
believe that Populism must bo responsible
for It. Barbers aro never Populists, and
it Is doubtless with a view of combating
dangerous errors that they oppose the
raising of beards. Yet their concern Is
perhaps excessive. Tho Influence of hair
on revolution is a subject which has not
been sufficiently Investigated to permit
anyono to dogmatize upon it. But we
should note that among the highly con
servative nations of the east the beard
Is held In high respect "By tho beard
of tho Prophet' is a sacred oath. Shy
lock, who was of eastern extraction, made
a Just complaint against Antonio when
he accused him of plucking him by the
beard; and it is a part of the general
biutality with which ho was treated that
no atcntlon was paid to this Insult.
o
Fashions In beards have ever seemed to
have their origin In puro caprice. The
priests of tho western church, for ex
ample, have usually been clean-shaved;
it is expected in the Roman body except
whero reasons of health rqrbld, and al
though the rule Is not so rigid among
Anglicans the tendency Is against hair on
tho face In any form. The typical cler
gyman Is clean-shaven. But In the east
ern church, on the other hand, priests are
requited to grow beards, and a man who
had none couW not become a priest at all.
In such cases there Is no question of per
sonal appearanco Involved. Perhaps tho
wearing of whiskers has gained popular
ity from the notion that It is a mark of
mental and physical superiority. It is
the Aryan race that Is most profusely
bearded, and the Aryan race has always
had n remarkably good opinion of Itself.
Yet on the other hand It might be argued
that the wearing of beards among tho
Romans came into fashion . when the
Golden Age was ovei, when tho Julius
Caesars and the Ciceros had been super
reded by the Neros and Domltlans. In
the classic sculpture -the highest types of
manly beauty aro associated with smooth
faces. Beards imply physical Btrength,
possibly, but with It a certain coarseness
of moral f.bre. Such distinctions do not
exist, of course, In these days; and If
whiskers go it will be simply because
we are tired of them. But for our own
part wo doubt If they really are to go
yet.

Thero aro In this country many writers
and speakers who persistently work for
tho separation of the American people
Into classes by continual assertions that
classes exist with almost Insurmountable
barriers between them. By public
speeches, by magazine and newspaper ar
ticles, by sermons from some pulpits,
by horrible and horrifying pictures In the
sensational press, they are doing their
best to bring about whut they affect to
deplore, antagonism and hatred if not
oren war between tho rich and the poor,
between capital and labor, between em
ployers and employes. It would not be
true to say that there are no class or
raco distinctions In this country. Some
have grown up naturally as tho result
of Inherent or historic prejudices or of
conditions long established, while others
are largely the fruits of demagogism uf
tho rankest kind. These distinctions,
however, aro by no means so distinct or
so formldablo as tho ranters represent
them. The way Is open to the ioorest
to obtain riches, to tho most Ignorant to
obtain knowledge, and to the lowliest to
