The eldest din Igfatcr quietly said: "Yc have not l ieu lately, like many older people, answering tbfl last question firs. "We never had many books, and they had to -.'o; we haven't any now," and the baby girl chimed In: "l.ove dolls? Guess I do!

Indeed, the Easter gift of Helena's toys waa the harbinger of good to Mrs. Eatabrook In full as trrcat a degree as to the family she assisted out of a temporary slough of distress. She kept n protecting eye over the family ever after, and rejoiced equally with the mother when, a couple of y ears later, the eldest graduated from the public nehool with a fair business education, and at once became a wage-earner. A girl at 1 ; and fresh from a grammar school, who could earn three dollars a week, looked to fine of the leisure class like a prodigy. T.ife was brightening for the f'randalls.

changeable value of commodities eltner by a silver unit or a gold unit, but there la no possible way of keeping the exchnngi aide value of the unit itself laed. We may be precise ns to its weight, it.. fineness ami its appearance, yet it cannet be a fixed standard as a yardstick

made of metal is a Ictml standard of

leo th at a certain tempera! urc. Tin

exchangeable value of the unit Itself

depends upon the supply ami dement

of the metal out of which the unit is made, providing there is no restriction

In coinage. We can note the tempera tttre of the metallic standard yard

and have its exact length known at

that temperature, hence we have a fixed standard of length nt a certain

temperature. As for gold ami silver, vvr can regulate the demand for coin

age bv statute law. hut cannot regulate

the supply of either metal, and we know

that the world s annual supply in tin

past 100 years has been exceedingly

v.-iriable and always bovond leffsl eon

trol, hence we cannot have n standard made of either of these metals which I fixed and strictly nnalagous to I Standard laed like a yardstick at acertein temperature. We ran have, nnd did have, two "standards of payment" in the United Ptatcs from 1793 to 187H. These were our gold coins nnd our silver dollars, nnd up to ist:i our smaller silver coins. P.y our statute laws, they were absolutely equal, under our govern tn -nt. as debt payers. Standard dollars for debt paying were made of each, multiple! in gold and single for silver, but these dol

lars were seldom exactly equal as dollars in Tithange for commodities. lather the one cr the other was nearly always at S premium, and those who were well Informed in such matters often took advnntSge Of the situation und made a profit by gathering in these coins that were at I premium and reselling them for manufacturing or export. Hence, if by a standard we mean aonicthiiig fixed in it own exchangeable value compared with commodities whose demand ami supply may have been unchanged, we cannot use the term "standard of value" without confusion Of though. The dollar debts under our former laws were paid by the two standard coin dollars, perfectly re-eardl.-s of the BUDdIv or demand of

faj - ---- - - Ihese dollars or tbe metal! out of which they were coined. When ih was convenient, the debtor could alwuys choOSC the ebenper dollar to pay his debts. Hence, WO had two standards of payment fixed by Maine law, while it is We'd known that from 180V, until the discovery of gold in California in Isj, these two precious metals were annually increasing in n-arcity and hence in exchangeable value. These dollars. hOWe er, were fixed standards as to t lie payment of debt: , both were constant ly appreciating ns mensnros of value. They performed two different functions! That eminent authority en the history of metallic money. S. lai:a Horton, calls 1 hesc dol lars, as t hey w ere in fnc. not standards but "instrumenbs of valuation." Anyone who may be under the false Impression thst either gold or silver, or both metals, when used together ate not subject, to the law of snpply and demand, nnd hence fixed In enebungsnv ble value, holds a. theory t hat cannot be sustained. Hitnetnllists claim that the fair use of the t w o metals, at the same time, as full legal tender money has a constant tendency to rqualie their relative exchangeable value. In other words, it has u constant tendency to keep them more steady but not Axed, as we know a true standard should be. There can be no such thing as an unvarying standard of value, "(odd moneyis sound money because ita exchangeable value is fixed by nature." is the false plea of thoWC who I M falling prices Hut who cannot see that the standard, gold, lias become more valuable. Hence, the reason why we oppose tbe adoption of the gold standard is because gold has coic tantu Increased in exchanges ble value since the commercial world had partially discarded silver as a full

legal tender Homey. We hold (hat as

soon ns we treat silver fair V that the

Importantee of gold ns an "instru

ment of valuation" will deerensc. V

demand the full restoration of silver

payments, not only because the statutt

law distinctly says our silver dollars nre legal tender for all coin obligations.

but because the equity of the case de manda it. Our example would give re

lief to the entire commercial world

which has Buffered SO much from n per n (clous fail In prices censed by the dli

eardlne of silver for this nut-nose. It

would tend to irive fair prices and pros

It wilt iie remembered that Chill a few year ago had a sound linancial policy, using gold, silver and paper as money and advancing more rapidly in wealth and proaperitf than any other South American Country. She came out of hep war with Peru and ber civil war aa cheeky and as impudent as .lapan was i.fter her victory over China. .liqian, as it Will be remembered, was on the high road to an advanced position among the great nations of the world w Ia n she committed linaimial hari kari by adopting the gold standard and now is in a state of bankruptcy nnd liquidation. The condition of Chili is precisely similar. l ite following is the article in question, translated for the Silver Knight by A. If, BotetdOi Two years have already elaps,d since gold has taken the place of paper money i -m d by the states and the banks. Gold has remained in circulation as money, but not ,,s a n cv idenee of wealth or even welfare, but on the contrary, as nn express ion of poverty and paralisation of every kind of business. I he scarcity of products, to draw in payment of obligations in Europe, hue forced the banks, in order to a void t bo export of spoclea the circulating goM --und the consequent weakening of their chests, to a scries of measures of

rest fiction. Asa insequcr.ee three orders of facta, have been produced intimately bound among themselves, and iropcrly being each one the consequence of the other; scarcity of circulation, depreciation of values and higher rate of interest of money. The type of interest from seven to eight per centum, which was ruling four years ago, lias advanced to 13 per centum, 'I his tdtuntion is to n great extent a consequence of the imprudence with which the conversion of gold for the d eal and bank bills was effected. At that time nil circumstances were adverse, as they continue to be. up to tho present day. allowing no chance for an eaay transition from one regime to the other. In the commercial order our production was restricted, both in quantity and value, and (ha! in no small par! due to causes of n universal character the constant decline of our products in Europe, In the moral order WO were JuwJ emerging from a Civil war. which had profoundly shaken our credit, on account of the losses sustained by foreign capitalists in their Chilian inversions in movable values, by the lowest type of the money in which they re
