pointments are made under the aet ap
proved March 8, last, "for the promo
tion of an Intermit ional agreement for
bimetallism" and by Its provisions do
not require eonllrmntlon hy the senate.
It has been generally conceded that
Penntor Wolcott would lie made a
member of the rommipsion. He has
been an active lender In the movement
for a monetary agreement and is wide
ly known as nn advocate of the sliver
cause. His trip to Kurope last summer
was penernlly conceded to he at least
pemiolllcial as the representative of the

tiin leading Kutopean capltais. He had
audiences with the more noted finan
cial ministers, nnd it is lielleved he then
laid the foundations for international
conference fo- which the committee
appointed tonight will endeavor to
lirlng to a conclusion. Senator Wolcott
Is now Bervlnar his second term In the
senate, having been elected to that body
In 1PS5. While a pronounced bimetal
list, he was a stanch supporter of the
St. Louis ticket.
Kx-Vlce President Stevenson, the
Democratic member of the commission,
thouKh generally known as an advocate
of bimetallism, was a stanch supporter
of Ilryan and the Chicago platform. He
and Senator Wolcott. however, are said
to be In accord on the financial ques
tion. The Minority Member.
General Charles J. Talne, who may
be termed the minority member. Is a
Itepubllcan nnd was a McKlnley man.
He Is one of the most prominent busi
ness men of Massachusetts Lnd Is said
to be a deep sludent of the financial
question. While he Is classed as a
Bupporterof bimetallism based on Inter
national agreement, he Is regarded as
allied with the gold standard faction.
He is a graduate of Harvard, being a
member of the clnss of '53. General
Paine Is largely Identified with rail
roads and other corporations, being a
director of the Chicago, Burlington
and Qulncy railroad and other large
concerns, and a director of the Boston
Institute of Technology: was an Inti
mate friend and associate of Professor
Walker, the llnanclnl author and au
thority. He Is a man of large wealth
and probably better known to the pub
lic at large as one of the syndicate
of gentlemen who built the cup de
fending yachts Puritan, Mayflower and
Volunteer. It Is a fact not generally
known that General Paine accompa
nied Senator Wolcott on his European
trip lost summer and assisted him In
that work. It Is believed that he went
abroad with Senator Wolcott with the
understanding that he was to be made
a member of the commission.
It Isnot yet known when the commls
sloners will meet and organize. When
an organisation is effected, however. It
Is believed that Senator Wolcott will
be made chairman. It Is authorlta
lively stated that the commissioners
will not go abroad before May 1, by
which time the new embassadors will
be at their posts and render the special
envoys the assistance necessary In the
consummation of their mission.

Savings bank was robbed yesterday as
prettily as a gang of western desper
adoes could have done It. Cashier Cobb,
aged 75, was alone In the bank at noon.
A well dressed man entered, attracted
his attention by talking about business
and gradually drew him away from his
desk and out of sight of the door. A
man slipped In nnd took the contents
of the cashier's drawer, $4,400. When
Mr. Cobb got back to his desk, this
man covered htm with a revolver, con
cealed his features behind the bills he
had stolen, backed out and got away
before Mr. Cobb had recovered his wits.
There Is no trace of the robbers and no

Wryler'a Paper Promlaea.
Our "Grooubaokcrs" should rejoice
over the fuct Unit aunthrr paper money
experiment is being tried. " Jf greenbacks
put down the rebellion ia the United
Ktatt s, why Bhooldu't they prove effect
ive weapons nguiiiHt Cuban rebels?"
reasons Ueucral Weyler, who is flooding
the coast towns of Cuba with artistically
engraved promised to pay on one side of
a piece of paper uud a picture of a well
developed tobacco plant on the other
side.
The experiment ia bound to be suc
cessful, for the notes are -inado legal
tender in the worst way. Any shop
keeper who refuses to accept these prom
ises for their faeo value is Bubject to in
stant imprisonment in jails where con
finement means almost certain death.
Of course under the circumstances the
notes are accepted. Weyler, however,
forgot to decree that prices should not
be raised, and the Cuban shopkeepers
are mean enough to try to defeat the
experiment by raising prices. So far
they have only doubled prices, but each
one is trying to seo how high he can put
prices, and the end is not iu sight.
Come to think of it, high prices, con
stantly growing higher, have defeated
all past experiment with paper money.
Perhaps Weyler, by correcting this littlo
defect, may yet demonstrate that Greeu
backers are right and that cheap money,
by proper legislation, can be made just
us good as money made from costly
metals. What a boon plenty of money
would be to mankiudl iiuccess to Wey
ler 'a experiment and death to the traitor
who tries to prevent its success by rais
ing prices or by refusing toucoept Wey
ler's hundsomu promises!

Government Moat Control Mlnea.
The Bankers' Magiijno for March
finds the origin of our present troubles
bout silver in the demand that the
ratio of its value to gold shall be deter
mined by the government. It is, how
ever, no proper part of the duty of the
government to try to fix tho ratio of
values of the two metals.
"Being," says Tho Porkers' M:it;a
line, "commodities as well as money,
and being commodities bf fore find nftcr
they are money, and being money sim
ply and only because they arc commodi
ties, and being commodities liccause
they have recognized and intrinsic value
independent of any action of govern
ment, und even in the absence of govern
ment, nnd being therefore severally sub
j(ct to all tho laws of commodities, the
law of variable supply and demand and
value among others, and th"se varia
tions not being uniform for both metals,
it is impossible that government can
ever 'fix' the ratio of their value.
"If, however, it should bo insisted
that it is the function und duty of gov
ernment to (try to) fix the ratio of their
values, it would seem to follow as a
logical coii"eqn( nee that, sinco their
relative valne depends absolutely on the
relative supply of the two metals it is
the primary and plain duty of govern
ment to fix (regulate) their supply by
controlling nnd operating the gold nnd
silver mines, the sources of their pro
duetion. It should do both things 01
neither, and it is preferablo that it
should do neither. It is folly to expect it
to do the former without doing the lat
ter." This is the truth of the nuttier in a
nutshell. Unless the government first
acquires all the mines in-the world nnd
decides how much silver and how much
gold are to be produced yearly, it is im
possible to maintain a ratio after it is
"fixed." France "fixed" it 163 times,
but it would not stay fixed, and France
has at length abandoned the efi'oit. The
United States has also tried the experi
ment several times witbont soccess. It
Is time the theorists were letting the
matter alone.
Gold and flilver Nuft-gets.
First. There is not a free coinage
country in the world today that is not
on a silver (or paper) basis.
Second. There is not a gold standard
country that does not use silver ns
money along with gold.
Third. There is not a silver standard
country that uses gold along with silver.-
Fourth. - -There is not a silver stand
ard country that has more than one
third as much money in circulation per
capita us the United States.
Fifth. '.here is not a silver standard
country iu which the laboring man re
ceives fair pay fur his day's labor.
Sixth. There is not a silver standard
country in which interest rates are pot
higher than in gold countries.
Seventh. Nearly all civilized cpiUi
trios have turned from a silver to a gold
standard during the past century. Nona
has turned from gold to silver.
