Editor Coubieb: Dear Sir -I have been reading up on the financial ques tion. The various authorities collected by Trumbull & Whites. Silver and Gold is the name of the book and the best writers on both sides have their say. Harvey and Laughlin in their Chicago debate have the first nay. Laughlin in arguing on the sufficiency of gold as a meduim of exchange said : ''All goods are not ottered for exchange at once any more than a million men in crossing s bridge are all on the bridge at the same time. A million can cross 100 at a time, but if they all tried io cross at once, it would create a panic and some one would get hurt," to which Harvey replied. "It is true that if there is a bridge across the stream and every body wants to go over it at the same time, there is a busy time such as we should like to see in this country again, and they could not get over the bridge at the same time. If there were two bridges they could get over, also if they charged two much toll over one bridge we might get over the other bridge cheaper." Mr. Laughlin rejoined. "It is perfectly clear that with order, and a proper medium of exchange, it does not make any difference which ot the two bridges a man goes over, but if be goes on the second bridge and it is a shaky one, and it bobs up and down, he had better not get ' on it," to which Harvey finally replies. "If one bridge is rickety we use the other while we put the bad or.e in order. If we have only one an J that Is out of erder, we bave to wade or swim. This is the trouble now. We bave only onebridge and the Administration and Cleveland bave bold of one end and Rothschilds have the other." Our Oregon Dolpb'a Senate speech comes next, occupying 3C pages. He tells us that the throwing of the silver I bullion, heretofore coined in India on private ace iiiut, on the world's market has depreciated and will continue to depreciate the ruple's intrinsic value, but claims an opposite effect, in another part of bia speech from the diafranehi ment of U. S. silver dollars-p. 100. "I have never believed that with free coin age, the silvor dollar, would possess any creator value than the bullion it con tained.'.' Here is iiiconslntency with a vengeance, fenator G. T. Hoar's speech occupies 38 pages. He condemns public legisla ture on popular lines in financial mat Sera, says our currency laws should be fixed by experts. "There are subleties n these financial matters aurpaxsing tae subtleties of metaphysics, and our safety consists in following a few safe guides." He then poses as one of these safe guides and through a cloak of professed liimelHlifm arirues himself on a single gold standard platfoim The goldites generally assume as an anxioum that all monev anil currency cannot be sound except it be redeemable In the best coin (i e) gold, and they base all their arguments on this doctrine, but the Her-chell committee appointed by the British on Indian finance report ed very different to this, vis, that with any kinds of currency to suit the con vence of the country, there seemed to be no difficulty in making their ex- hamtes with the gold standard counties. Our neighbors to the north using pure fiat paper money almost entirely, ex cept for subsidiary coin, had far the best of it when the gold speculators were making such havoc in onr securities not a br,nk failed' in Canada. The fiat paper (they have no mint lor goiu; saved them from the panic, our gold basis was the cause of ours.

VCt IheV have no difficulty in making their ex changes on a high and fairly steady . basis with gold standard counties. If we are incapable of deciding finan cial matters on our own account as (jr.
