THB DAILY EXAMINER.

OCTOBER 22, 1896 = — => THE QUESTION IN THE STATES.

Tue honor cf the United States is bound up ip the issue to be decided on Tuesday next. This is due solely to the fact that it is proposed, in a bi-metallic standard to be adopted or rejectid, that the diff-rence between the value of silver and gold shal) be as 16 to 1 when it is rea y about 31 to 1. Asa ma‘ter of policy, or expediency,

or financial convenience, the United Stat 6 may properly resort to a bi-metallic standard. But as a matter of justice and honor they are bound, if they do so, io see to it that the standard is true. We know

how it is as to weights aod mensures. If

&@ man is caught buying by heavy weight

and selling by light weight he is branded as dishonest, ard properly sentto the penitentiary His we go must be up to the standard, and they must be equal as to both buying and selling, or he is deemed a “shady customer” tobe avoided if pos sible. Now as the standard weights and measures of a country are the weasure of the articles bought and esol in it, so the standard money of the country is the measure of the value of those articles. It may be gold or silver, or both. But if

both, must not be false, as it certuin!y will +» if fixed at 16 to 1 31 to 1. The United people, under a single gold standard, have bought

the ratio between gold and, silver while it rea!ly is States and their and borrowed largely trom their neigh- bors. That is to say, they have obtained dollars, and dollars’ worth, in gold. Iris now proposed that they shall be permitied to pay these debts is silver worth,—half xs much! monstrous. seen by reference to an is well within the memory of Tur Ex aMiner’s readers, Four years ago the crop of potatoes in the States was short and several United States buyers came here and bought largely, paying iv “ ver dollars ” issued under the Bland Act. In the winter and towards the spring there were several financial flurries in the States.) Gold was exported in large quan- tities, and as a consequence the banks aud others began to refuse to accept theee “silver dollars” except at a large dis count. So that holders of this currency, who fancied that they had cold their pota- toes at 25 cents per busbel, found that they really bad, after the discount was paid, a very much smaller price. They had nearly been cheated out of their pro- fits in the potato business of that year. Fortunately Presideat Cleveland, who had just beea installei, came to the rescue, deciared that every dollar should be re- deemable in gold even though the notes were marked redeemable silver, ol- tained loans of gold fur this purpose, kept up the credit of his country, and reassured the creditors of the United States by pro curing the repeal of the Bland Act. It is mow proposed that the dishonor from which the Government and people of the United States were rescued then shal!

It is marvellous

for a single moment. that a Jarge part of the Democratic party, comprising millious of iatelligent honest men, have taken it up as an elec tion cry ? ceivable. First, the silver mine owners in the States are directly interested, and used to gambling in wheat, pork anu other articles, not very cerning a “ deal’ it means millioas for them.

Three reasons are easily con-

very large debtor class,

these men are exceedingly @oxious that their condition shall be bettered. Thirdly, boy orators, boy

writers and demagogues, none of whom understand the question, have cultivated the idea that the bard times are due to the creditor classes and persuaded many dis- contented men that if they hit back at the “gold bugs,” the capitalicts and the banks by restoring silver to its rank as a standard of value, good times will come and they will escape from their present difficulties. In thie way, the most gigantic sieal ever devised bas been commended to electors in the United States, many of whom never studied the matter and had no idea what- ever of its “ true inwardness.” To those who think that it would be wrong to pay debts contracted under a gold standard with silver at the false ratio of sixteen to One, it is pretended that the value of silver

will, as the result of an increased demand for silver, rise to a parity with the value of gold at the rate of

16 tol, s0 soon as the United States shall enact that it shall be so. But those who consider the large part played in busi- nessa by paper currency, bank draughts, etc., will easily see that this is not likely to be true, and that it is impossible by Act ot Congress to make real a standard of value which is eseentially fictitious. We cannot therefore believe, after ali the die. cussion that has lately taken place in the United States, that a majority of the people will vote for the bimetallic standard at the rate of sixteen to one. In this faith the people of Canada continue to sccept United States money at its face, notwith- standing the fact that their banks refuse to take it except at @ discount of five per cent, But those persons in this Province and elsewhere, who have any doubt sbout the election of Mr. McKinley and the triamph

of the sound mouey candidates for Con- gress will, of course, quietly get rid of their Uaited States currency on or before Tues- day next.

welcome to the Minister of Agriculture.

Hon. Mr. Fisher is, we are glad to note, following out the policy of his predecessors.

This is, perhaps, to be accounted for by

the fact that he is himselfa farmer, and knows what farmers need, and how the government may promote their interests without doing injustice to any other interest in the country. He is a ready and able speaker,

and we have no doubt that the meetings to be addressed by him will be well at- ttended. We hope, too, that his addresses and the practical encouragement afforded by his department will be acceptable to our farmers aod productive of good. He is of all the Ministers in the Cabinet the man in whom the people of this Agricul- tural Province are most deeply interest: d- The

REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE.

Tue Canada Gazetie, to hand this morn-

ing, contains an official statement which

shows that the Dominion revenue for 1895-6 was $36,617,484, and that the ex- was $36,930,966. The deficit tor the financial year was therefore $363,- 481. Mr. Foster estimated the revenue and expenditure for the year would be about even at $37,000,000. He $36,980,966—so that the outlay

was within the estimate.

that

expended The revenue, however, did not come up to the estimate by about $382,000. The falling off in the revenue, consequently, accounts for tlie deficit. Itis held by the correspondent of the Mail and Empire that the falling off in the revenue was due entirely to the pre-election declarations of the Liberal party, aod the lessened importations con” sequent upon the uncertainty of the tariff policy involved in the Liberal accession to There is no doubt also that if this

An illustration of the strict econo my practised is shown in the fact that, whereas in 1894-5 the eum of $38,132,000 was «xpended, and the fact that the esti- mates for 1896-7 amount to about $44,000,- 000, less than $37,000,600 were expended in 195-6. Thisshows areduction of $1,151,900 as compared with the expenditure of the pre- cling year, and a reduction of upwards of $7,009,000 as compared with Mr. Field- ing’s estimates of the succeeding year. This disposes of the cry of extravagance, and is all the more notable as the saving took place in the year of the general elec- tion, when the charge is made that public moneys are freely disbursed for political purposes, It is true that the capital expenditure for 1895-6 was $4,614,000, as against $4,340,000 in 1894-5, showing a slight increase. But when the fact iz taken into account that one million dollars were spent for an alwogether new and exceptional purpose, namely, the equip ment of the militia, it will be seen that the ordinary capital expenditures for last year were nearly a million dollars less than those of the preceding year, a proof

again of economy on the part of the late Goverameat.

A WORTHLESS STATEMENT.

Tue Finance Minister has stated that for the first three months of the present year the revenue has been $8,846,000, and the expenditure $4,662,350, whereas the expenditure for the same period last year was $5,537,627. This is pleasing for the Finance Minister to make and for the country to hear. It has been well published bv the Government press.

rialement

We regret that it lacks the element It ought to have been that during the first three months of the present year Mr. Fielding bad st his disposal only the money ob-

tained by Governor-General’s warrants,and

was therefore unable to make some of the payments which ordinarily are made for the quarter. The comparison is absolutely worthless.

Eee —The New York World, in the course of an article dealing with the sources of the eilver agitatiou, publishes a significant, not to say an alarming, statement of the mortgage indebiedness of the six western states in which pro-silver feeling is ram~

pant. Concisely it is as follows:

It will be noted, remarks the Montreal

Star, that this list does not include any of the five silver mining states, where the passion for silver coinage is said to spring

from the masses of the white metal that lie hijden in the bills. In this sad sister-

nood of six itis # hunger for more money

and cheap money that impels the farmers

to go on @ crusade for the unlimited coin-

age ofsilver. In these states farming is

the oceapation of three-fourths of the

people, and there are in them 27,485 more

farm mortgages than farms. What wonder

is it that the prospect of paying off these

morigages at much lese than there face

value is an alluring outlook to these

hard worked farmers, overwe'ghted with | debt and gifted with little leisure in

which to examine closely the texture of the

promised remedy ?

THE CORNER STONES OF CHARACTER.

As Defined by Archbishop O’Brien,

The Halifax papers report in full an ad- dress of Archbishop O’Brien delivered be- fore the Y. M. ©. A. of Dathousie College, on Sunday afternoon. His Grace in com

8 . . . 1 mencing referred to the diffidence he felt on account of his difficuity in selecting a suitable subject. It was Sunday afternoon and he was not preaching either in St. Paul’s or St. Mary’s, he laughingly said. “Character building” had seemed to bim an appropriate topic. Youth is the time to form character. Those who become our heroes become such because we admire their character, and not merely because of their position or circumstance in life. We esteem their manly character.

WHAT DOES CHARACTER MEAN ?

It means that aggregation of principles and motives which should rule and guide the outward actions of man and mould and refine his aspirations. Man has an out- ward sphere of action and an inward—an ‘award, in which he himself only is his wceused and judge. We are not to look <o much to outward action as to inward nature, Outward action is the expression of tbe inward man, Many are insincere, hypocrites, cowardly; they do pot act as ney feel. Consider the great possibilities hat lie h’dden within oarselves. Que man ook+ at the marble block abd sees nothing buta stone The true artist sees withio ta beautiful statue, grand in its propor- tions, But to realize that picture he must take himmer and chisel and work ut it for days and days. Let us look en ourselves ae the possibilities of great aad uoble men. Greater than the artist, let us bring forth living characters, as far above the statue as was the living Adam above the inani- mate body into which the Almighty breath- ed the breath of lite. Weshould have a clearly-defined idea of our work, as the art'st bas an idea of the design and_ pro- portions of the statue he intends to pro- duce. We must have certain principles for that edifice of character we intend building. Four of these principles may be looked at. The first of these is

THE PRINCIPLE OF JUSTICE,

which must Le put before yourselves. We must be men. We must give to everyone hisown. What rights has one ia the world more than another ? None. Each one of the unit of humanity has his rights but eack the same as the other. Not that we must not put our hands into our neighbor's pocket and steal from him, but we must guard against what may be wrong though legal. Weare not to be guilty of many things of which the ‘aw makes no probibi- tioa, if those things are uot in accord with the eternal principles of justice. We talk a great deal about the brotherhood of man. Isis acatchy phrase but what does it mean? It is something that rests on prin- ciples of justice. If we were all truly just we would bring round the brotterhood of man. There would be.no labor troubles if the eternal principles of justice were main- tained. Let us maintain justice not only in our actions but in our thoughts. By every wrovg judgment of others we lower our own character.

THE PRINCIPLE OF TEMPERANCE. Temperance is not total abstinence from intoxicating hquor merely. It goes further. Temperance is habitual modera- tion day after day in the reasonable use of our appetites and passions, No man is strong except he who has self-restraint, who can rule himself; nor can he who cannot rule himself rule others. Ifa man be not habitually moderate nature knows how to avenge herself. The archbisbop in passing, and in illustrating his definition of temperanc*, said it was a question whether there were not more people who injured themselves more by over indulgence in eating than from the drink evil. The man who breaks into fits. of anger, who yields to temper, is not the man who is feared, who is a power; it is the man whocontrols his temper who is apowerin the world. The three hundred who were chosen to defeat the enemies of Israel were not the men who yielded impulsively to their thirst, but they were those wl.o showed by their restraint in taking the water that they were meant fora great work,

THE PRINCIPLE OF FORTITUDE,

Strength of mind, is need to enable us _ to bear the trials and vicissitudes of life. The man who does not know how to bear these trials with philosophy, so to speak, is weak. Some people have so little fortitude that they must let everybody know even if they have but a toothache. Let us hear our trials with fortitude, think much on and practice this natural virtue of forti- tude, BE MEN OF TRUTH.

Let this fourth principle of your character consist merely in not lying, but in ldving the truth, in resting short of nothing short of the abso!ute trvth. Too many people do not want to know thetruth but some- thing pleasing to themselves. Try to di- vest the mind of all preconcep'ions and of ail judgments formed without sufficient knowledge.

If we take these four principles we will find we have four solid corner stones on which to raise up an edifice of character. All other things necessary to the beauty and nobility of our character will fall into place. The character will be adorned with such qualities as kindliness of man - ner and gentleness of disposition. Some people seem to think that gentleness is synonymous with weakness, but such an idea is a very mistaken one. So far, the Archbishop coptinued, a Pagan speakin to Pagans could have said al! that he h uttered, but

A CHRISTIAN SPEAKING TO CHRISTIANS

could say more. He could go further and tell of more than those merely natural virtues. There are three supernatural virtues —faith, hope and charity—without which there could be no Christian charac- ter. By taith we believe in revelation, the truths of which can not be learned by the human mind alone. Faith is that eupernatural virtue by which we believe what God has revealed, and which we believe because He has revealed it. Many object to revelation, though the archbishop hoped there were none such before him, because, they say, of the conflict between revelation and, reason, The men who say that science contradicts revelation have a faulty knowledge either of the one or the other, or of both.

BETWEEN SCIENCK AND REVELATION THERE CAN BE NO CONTRADICTION.

though there may be difficulties.

Two men are standing on a lofty hill overlooking a great expanse of varied country. QOneof them has comparitive imperfection of vision and can see only the tallest objects some two miles away. The other has keeness of vision and can discern with clearness every detail of the pmrenge teat before him. Is _ there any contradiction in their vision? No, one merely sees further than the other. So in matters of revelation. It does not follow that because we cannot see them that they do not exist, unless we claim to be infinite.

Who heard of the X rays three years ago; yet they always existed. The human intel- lect dees not know everything, Wi!] any one eay that science bas reached its final goal? What contradiction is there in making the unknowable things of God

known by revelation? If ever you meet a man who eays he will believe nothing but what he can demonstrate, ask him how much he knows of his own knowledge or demonstration. actual personal knowledge he kuows but little. All we know is on authority. What we have to ask is, “Gave we sufficient authority?” If sufficient motives credibility are brought forward, I mast accept. If I accept a statement on the highest of all authority, do I not perform a most reasonable act? If we as Christians fully exercised this virtue of faith, we would not be disturbed as we often are. There is no contradiction between science, which teaches us material facts, and revelation, which sees farther and is above it. The Archbishop urged his hearers, as members of the Y. M. C. A., as be oelieved suleed they did, te practice the habit of prayer. HOPE IS ANOTHER, SUPERNATURAL PRIN- CIPLE. Some are always looking on the dark side of things. The opposite of this is natutal hope. The supernatural hope is some- thing better yet. We believe and trust that God will aid us to live for Himself, Let us cnhivate the hopefully to God.
