_ THE SILVER QUESTION.
_ “To coin or not to coin, that is the
question.” The silver coinage question,
whichsho’uld be decided upon business
and economic grounds, has unfortu-
nately become the football of politi
cians. '
As the law now stands the Govern-
ment is increasing the currency $4,500,-
000 per month or $54,000,000 per annum .
, by coining dollars intrinsically worth
83 cents, and represented by certificates
which are receivedin all business trans-'
actions as worth $1. What the friends
of free silver demand is that this coin-
age should be without restriction, and
that the profit of 17 cents per dollar
should go into the pockets of the fortu-
natelowners of silver ore,bullion or even
ldo spoons instead of going into the US.
Treasury. Of course the present law
does not give us an honest dollar, but
since the issue is restricted and the pro-
fits of coining go into the U. S. Treas-
ury the injury is not so serious as it
would be to open the floodgates of free
coinage. Under the present law the
loss to the people from the short dollar
is about 15 cents per capita per annum,
but the Government gets all the profit
and the sum is so small its- effect is not
appreciable.
Since silver has become, by reason of
its plenty, a sort Of commodity, it
would be manifestly unfair to prefer
the silver miner to the coal or iron
miner by a Species of indirect bounty.
The most serious harm which would be
done,by free coinage would be the dual
currency that would be forced upon the
country by which debts contracted up—
on a gold basis would be paid by 9. our-
rency of less value. Less than one
week after free coinage had been as-
sured we would see gold at a premium,
which WOuld be an inconvencience, if
not an evil.
The friends of free coinage expect too
much from its adoption, while its Op-
ponents overestimate its evils. The one»
knows'that it will make him rich,‘ the
other has a vague idea that it will make-
himpoor. The first is doomed toicer-
tainv disappointment, the fears of the"
latter will never be- entirely realized.
This is a new and great country, and the
thousand avenues for development will
absorb 'isafely more currency than many
are aware of. Prices, however, would
advance, and while there might be more
dollars, it would nevertheless take more
dollars for our necessary daily 'e}
penses, and the day laborer would be
no better off than before. Existing
debts,except where protected by express
agreements,might be paid in a depreci-
ated currency, but contracts for future
loans would be upon a gold basis. The
disadvantages of free coinage are :
1. It does not give us an honest dol-
lar.’
2. It prefers the silver miner
3. It would force upon us a double
currency.
4. It would pay many existing debts
with a depreciated currency.
5. It would complicate and check
dealings between borrowers and lend-
ers.
6. .To a certain extent it would inflate
the currency amd bring an era of spec-
ulation to be followed by wrecks and
bursted booms.
The free coinage scheme is the idea
of those cranks who think that the leg-
islature of 'one locality can repeal and
set at naught those laws of trade and
values which govern,without exception,
the whole commercial world. The Gov-
ernment should ‘coin money and guard
against counterfeiting. Its stamp should
- be a guaranty of weight and fineness,
but its power rhould never be lent .to
support arbitrary values.

tor went to, ilton on theun'oon train to

of_tho finding of the pouch through a
clipping in a Hartford paper, taken
from the Sentinel.
This morning Pestmaster Fitch came
down with the Sentinel’s sensational
“mail bag.” It proved to be' a short
section of old belt leather, thrown out:
at some mill. How much “better not
to know so much, than to know so mu ch
that isn’t so.”

A Noble Gift.
Rev. Father Slocum announced to '
his people yesterday that only about
one thousand dollars now remained of
the $5,000 required for their beautiful
and elaborate, white marble altars
The main or central one, will be so far.
completed by next Sunday, that ser-
vices can be rendered from it, and the
two side ones are expected to be com-
pleted before the end of September.
As there seemed to be much reas )nable
curiosity to know who the party was
that had contributed the $900 for one of
the side altars, the good priest modest-
ly confessed that not out of his riches,
but out of his poverty, he had made
that donation himself, as an incentive
and encouragement to his people.
These works of the marble cutter and
graver’s art, will be the finest of any-
thing of the kind in this state with the
single exception of those in the Cathe-
dral at Hartford. It seems that the
new front piece to replace that broken
at the propeller dock here, was sent by
cars, and that, too, came broken in two
at the center. This has again been re-
placed and is now set in position. St.
Mary’s is to‘ be heartily congratulated
on their exceptional good fortune in
being able to secure these superb
church adornments.

_ ,. Opera House.
Alarge audience greeted the per-
formance 'of the Howard Atheneeum
Specialty Company at the Opera House
Saturday evening. From the raismg
'to the lowering of the curtain the au-
dience were convulsed with laughter.
Josie and Eddie Evans started the fun,
and Golden and Quigg added more
fuel, which sent many home with ach-
ing sides. Fulgora, the transfiurator
was heartily received, as were Falk an_
Semons, old Norwalk favorites, in their
musical comedy act. Miss Ena Bart-
oldi exceeded anything we ever saw 1n
the contortion line and received round
after round of applause. The Allisons,
in song and dance,were first-class,while
Duncan, another old favorite, gave a
fine exhibition of his powers as a ven-
triloquist. Janet Melville and Evie
Stetson captured the house at once with
their patriotic song, and were called
upon a ain and again for more music,
to whic they kindly responded. Kara,
the ju gler, in his performances was
indee miraculous, while the Braatz
brothers gave an exhibition of gymnasf
tics never seen in Norwalk before. In
looking about the Opera House during
the play it reminded one of old times
to see so many of Norwalk’s former
theatre goers present, evidently show-
ing that the effectual manner in which
Manager Adams has stopped the whist-
lin , stamping and cat-calls from the
gal ery is having a good effect. Manae
ger Adams assures us it has been stop:
pad for good, and that any lady can
the play without being annoyed by the
horse from the “gallery gods.”
