I%’eeil of Jtoro Silver Money*
The reasons for fully legalizing
silver as money of this country are
numerous and weighty. One of
them i» that the supply of gold is
entirely inadequate to furnish a
i
sufficient circulating medium. The
mines of the United Stated produce
about i32,0i)0,000 worth of gold
annually, nearly all of which goes
j t-, the mints. Subsequently about
$14,000,000 worth of it is consum
ed in the arts, leaving only $lB,-
000,000 as the annual increase of
our gold snop'y. without reference
to the quantity exported or im
ported. This leaves only $12,000,-
000 a year for the entire outside
world's increase of money. Our
annual production of silver from
1878 up to 1892 was upwards of
$30,000,000, and what sort of pro
duct can so reasonably and natur
ally supply the utter inadequacy
of*so United‘a substance as gold, for
the world’s money 1
There is not the slightest danger
of this country’s being either flood
ed witji foreign silver or overloaded
with its own. This is only a “bear”
howl of the monometalists. The
world’s present relative production
of gold and silver is 59 per cent,
silver. One hundred years ago the
proportion was 76 per cent, silver.
The operation of the law of 1890
created no panic, caused no alarm,
injured nobody, unless it be the
gold brokers of London and N< w
York. The gross aggregate supply
in London, New York and San
Francisco, the three great silver
centers, has been reduced chiefly by
Indian absorption, from over 15,
000,000 ounces to less than 7,000,-
000 ounces, and yet we were told
that we were overloading the
country with silver by the coinage
of 4,000,000 ounces a month. *
A “free-coinage” law providing
that 374.25 grains of pure silver
should command and be worth 31
at the mints would at once enlarge
the absorption of silver by India
China and Japan, and allow our*
vast and constantly increasing do
mestic trade absorption of money
to maintain the money parity of
gold and silver. Our example
would, in all probability, be iol
followed in continental Europe.
Neither is an international ratio
and agreement necessary. Up to
1865 there was no general consent
even among a few of the commercial
nations, as a ratio for gold and sil
ver. The Latin Union, existing
from 1865 to 1874, did not embrace
a larger population or one doing a
greater business than that of the
United States today, and that
Union did not aim to fix the mar
ket value of either metal. Fiom
time immemorial the European
nations have differed in coinage
ratios.
The great demand for this legis
lation li<>s in the necessity for an
increase of money in the United
States commensurate with our
growth in population, wealth and
business. That there is such a
scarcity was forcibly illustrated by
the “hard times,” lasting through
over a year, consequent upon the
failure of the Baring* Bros, and the
sudden drain of gold from this
country. The supply should be
adequate not only for the financiers,
, but for the common people.
It is the duty of congress to re
store the coinage system of the
United States which was founded
with the mint in 1792, and which
t
was successfully and continuously
maintained for eighty-one years
. thereafter, and which was surrep-
titiously and fraudulently over
. thrown in 1873
A remonetization law is one in
the interests of the people, and
with a “campaign of education”
properly and vigorously conducted
they can be made to see it.—Port
land Telegram.
What is generally considered to
be the most weird and picturesque
lighthouse under American control
is that on Tillamook rock, built on
a surf swept crag of basalt about 30
miles south of the mouth of the
river. The Astorian says it was a
stupendous task to build that light.
The great ditficulty in approaching
the rock, even in the smoothest
weather, the narrow sloping sides,
the distance from this city,which is
the nearest base of supplies, made
it a matter of delay, danger, diffi
culty and expense. When the
work was ordered it was a long
time before a force of men started
to do anything. The first day, in
effecting a landing, the foreman of
the, working party was drowned.
Four days after four men with
hammers, drills, bolts, provisions,
fuel and a stove, and a canvass
tent, managed to get, on the rock,
and a few days later, five men more
got there and the work began. It
took three years of unremitting
labor and great expense. It is
built of stone, brick and iron, and
is inaccessible for months at a
time Some night the whole thing
will be swept away.
Today Mr. W. W, Ward brought
to the Herald office a collection of
oranges and lemons he had just
taken from h’s trees out under the
Arizona can il a few miles north
east of this city. The oranges are
what is known in Florida as the
Majorca, highly colored, rather
under size, very rich and fragrant.
They have hung on the trees all
winter and show not the slightest
indication of frost. The lemons
are bright large size of the Villa—
franca variety, perfect in form, full
of jnioe and have also hung on the
trees all winter without showing
frost. There is no question of the
success of these fruits in this region
of country; the only drawback to
the business is that we should have
several thousands more acres in
oranges and lemons than we have.

The cut rate on travel across the
continent will bring thousands of
people to California this winter.
What is Arizona going to do about
it? Those who have visited us this
winter have been surprised and de
lighted. Our climate is as good as
anywhere in California. We also
have attractions to show. What
shall we do? Cm we not quit this
petty business now being indulged
in and all join hands for Arizona?
It is high time it was done and we
say right here and now. woe to the
mm, paper or party that continues
this detraction of Arizona and that
upholds her detractors. Praise, not
criticism, is demanded. Some of
this overland travel would stop
here if the travelers could ne made
to know what we have here.—En

President Roberts of the Penn
sylvania railroad, spoke words of
truth and soberness in declaring
that on railroads the luxury of the
rich is paid for by the fa**es of the
poor. “Limited” trains, palace
cars, sleepers and the like do not
pay thpir way. The plain, ordinary
passenger does. Now, there are
only a limited number of people
who want “limited” trains. The
numh-r who will travel in an ordi
nary way if fares are chea-p*enough
is unlimited. If a three hour train
between New York' and Philadel
phia at $1 were run twice a day it
would be jammed. The trains on
which $1 extru is paid oft«n lack a
full load. The “Hungarian plan”
succeed not because of uniform
fares, but bacause of low fares for
the most ordinary accommodations
and a low rate of speed. Travel
doubled in a few months and has.
gone on rising month by month.
The roads are making money and
the hahifc of travel is widening and
extending. The first American
line which runs trains at one cent
a mile with no sleepers and no ex
tern aeeommodations will he amaz
ed at the travel and its stockhol
ders will be amazed at the profits.
