Full Import of tle Silver Question.
England, witlt its vast manufactur
ing interests, its tetining populati'n
aud its small .'itns lor Hgricultural
piirposis, is the 'natural markt-t lor the
surplus farm products of Anierita.
InUia is America's only Comjetitor for
this trade India is a British ilepen
iency, hence it is more in the imprest
of England tb tr.ide with India than
with the United States, for wlfatcvcr
profits itccrue from the lnuitn traife
go info the pockets of, the pecuiating
Kugii.shmeii, and thence back to Eng
land. The medium of exchange in
India is &ilver. The free coinage of
silvt-r in t he United fcriat t previous to
1873 krpt silver -at par with gold, and
actually above it; hence England cuiiid
not get silver to exchange lor Indian
pitiiucls so is to make a prolit in sell
ing as well as in buying, and advan
tages possessed by the United States
made American products cheaper to
English consumers under these con
ditions than Indian products, and the
United States held the trade.
The demonetization of silver in the
United Slates made That met al only a
commercial commodity," and vastly
cheapened it. This was not in the
interest" of the American miner or
janjler It destroyed the market of
j the oi.e and reduced the value of the
product of the other. Hut it was iu
th,, interest of England and India,
and was procured by agents of Unush
' tiu-mciai institutions by 'bribery and
fraud.
A bill was-before Congress making
some harmless chanircs in the coinage
laws, but
iu no
sense

eiirr. nor did it strike the silver uol
i.... fit)ni the coinair lit. This bill
lilsd been d:scaS--ed and was understood,
ai.d lhe Houses were ready to vote
it. Meanwhile Ernest S-yd,
i fit 1 .I.i
upon
representing the bauu oi lungianu aiui
other British Guaiiciil institutions,
was sent to this countrv, as he hiiii-
Uelf testified, with a supply, of British
,.(i. u .wccaiie tliu demonetization of
silver. He found an influential class
r..f Ampr:eans nerfectlv willing that
this should be done, since it v.ou.d en
hance the value of their bonds aud-
makc them payable in gold, uotwith
stancling the effect it would have on the
industrial institutions of the United
States. Hence before the bill already
discussed and ready f"i' a vote called up
for tiual action, it was changed so as to
shike dut the silver dollar and demon-
elize siliver. That this is the way it
W:IS ,(ne, we have the testimony of
Haifirdd Ive'lv and hosts of olu. rs.
Silver demonetized, the price went,
down the same as would that of any
oilier comnrnlity whose principal u-e
had been destroyed. England could
l ow buy American Silver at a specula
tive price, take it to India and exchange
it for liidiau.-wheat at so vat a rotii
as to divert English trade from Amer-
1C a
a iia
thus cut off tiie Amer-
jclU1 furiucr's best market, and reduce
the price of this imjortant cereal to a
point below the cost of production.
In the t'.-e id' these facts (and they
are facts, fr results have proven them),
isn't it strange that any patriotic Amer
ican can for a moment hesitate as to
his position 0:1 the remouetiz ition of

How .Ncwspai'Ci s Pay.
How a newspaper .pays can bo a',
once seen, ifjou will give the matter
a little thought. Suppose you take a
paper that is only issued once a week;
you get fifty-two copies a year, each
containing the general current news 01
the times.
The educational advantages -to the
familj'j derived from a good weekly
paper, are cheaper and more impres
sive, useful and ' thorough, after the
children have learned to read, than the
leaching iu the ordinary schools. Il
is a i.otable fact and many eminent

families who are never without news
papers become more intelligent and
more iuilueutial than those who go
through the ordinary scholastic studies
without the habit of reading newspa
pers. Alter reading, writing and
arithmetic are taught lo a child, if a
choice is to be made between school
books ai:d newspapers', it would, be
much more beneficial to the child to
give to it two or three well selected
newspapers to read than to conliii: i;
to the textbook of the school. News
paper education is polytechnic and
universal, a!id is indispensable to a
proper qualification for the true Ameri
can citizenship.
A good newspaper saves money in

sell or buy anything vou will likely s. e
the current price in a newspaper, and
you will also see what you might want
advertised; you don't have to take
hearsay and thus suffer from mistakes
and delay s; you just turn to your pa
per, and know all you wish to find out.
You "will olten find chances for good
bargains advertised that cannot be
found in any other way.
Journalism in all its departments is
a business that requires more self-sacrifice,
more indefatigable labor, more
patience, endurance and nice di-crimi-natioii
than any other profession.
There is no class of men that furnish
so cheaply the indi-pensable intelli
gence, wisdom and virtue, for the sup
