THE SPIRIT OF GIVING
At Christmastide, O he thou tender, true;
Thy friends make glad and all thy foes forgive;
With its sweet light begin to live anew.
Ungrudgingly give, and giving, much receive.
Make thy glad life grow large, thy soul expand ;
Let there be one full day within the year,
When love shall open wide thy waiting hand
To lessen want and dry some hitter tears.
Souls are there many, heavy laden, sore,
And eyes that weep and hearts that often bleed.
And squalor knocking, tattered, at thy door,
And cold and hunger crying in their need.
Give wisely, freely, of thy bounty give,
And, most of all, do not forget, give love;
Since giving is the truest way to live,
And richest treasure laying up above.
Make glad thy home, let sunshine reign within ;
Bless every hearthstone with thy largess fair;
Share with pale want thine overflowing bin,
Ey kindness save some brother from despair.
Be saviors, O my brothers, every one!
Let the true Christ in your own soul be born;
Thus thou canst be God's well beloved son
And make each dawn a joyous Christmas morn!

THAT SILVER PURCHASE FOR INDIA
From the San Francisco Journal of Commerce
A few days ago the Hearst papers carried a column long story
on the front page, to the effect that the United States treasury had
lost more than $100,000,000 on silver, for the purpose of assisting
Great Britain to finance her difficulties with India.
This story is an excellent illustration of Hearst's anti-British
propaganda. It fits in well with his lurid stories of outrages in Ire
land, of oil grabbing in Mesopotamia and South America and of
schemes to unload the European war debt upon the United States.
No day seems complete that does not see the invention of some
Hearst bogey to twist the lion's tail.
Briefly, the facts are these: In April, 1917, there was a threaten
ed panic in India, due to the scarcity of silver. Silver had disap
peared from circulation, owing to the curious timidity and hoarding
habits of the Hindus. Most serious consequences were threatened.
A successful revolt in India might so weaken Great Britain as to
cause the loss of the war. In this emergency the Pittman act was
passed by congress, authorizing the sale of the surplus silver in the
United States treasury at $1 per ounce, a figure then in excess of the
market price, for export. The act also provided for the purchase of
a corresponding amount of silver, of American production, at $1 per
ounce, to replace the metal in the treasury, in installments scattered
over a series of years. Because silver, for a few months this year,
rose to a high premium, Hearst makes out that the treasury lost
- $100,000,000, or more, on the sale to the British. There is no merit in
the contention whatever. There was no loss on the deal.
Not only did the sale of the- silver bridge over a world crisis at
an acute time, but it also proved to be a benefit to American pro
ducers, and no loss to anybody. The silver cost the United States
much less than $1 an ounce. Some of it cost as low as 45 cents an
ounce. It was deposited to cover the issue of silver certificates in
circulation. Its sale was on a gold basis, and permitted the backing
of these certificates to be made with gold instead of silver.
Furthermore, when the repurchase of the silver is completed the
treasury will have the same quantity in its vaults it had before, and
at the same price. Not only that, but the repurchase of silver now at
$1 an ounce, when the market price is lower, is so much clear gain for
the producers of American silver, at the expense of this British deal
in 1917. This assured market, at a stable price, takes care of all
American production for several years to come. Had the deal not been
made, the cause of the Allies in the war would have been gravely
menaced and the silver producers today would be faced with a de
moralized market, which would mean production at a loss.
In faot, this deal, instead of being a wasteful iniquity, as Hearst
pictures it, was one of the best strokes of financial statesmanship dur
ing the war. It enabled us to give vital help without losing a dollar
by it.
A VAGUE HOPE
The suggestion of the Reno Gazette that American and Mexican
silver producers form a combination and beat London to it in estab
lishing the market price for the white metal is nothing new.
Agitation with that purpose in view and also to put an export
tax on the home production was advocated for years by silver
Democratic papers following the adoption of the gold standard by
the Republican party, but nothing was ever done. Nor will anything
ever be done for silver by a party that is controlled by the interests,
as the Republican party is. '
It remained for the Democratic party in the past few years to
take silver from the dumps and boost its price to the dollar mark,
and in gratitude therefor the voters turned the state over to the Re
publicans in the recent national elections. Under the new adminis
tration silver may or may not remain at the dollar mark.
