One of the easy essayists of the day
has taken a magazine shot at the cir
culating library. The point is made
that people who may borrow books
from a great collection not only lose
the desire to own books, but that they
fall to cultivate any real appreciation
of literature: that the whole system
discourages the finer senses of the book
man. And the claim is Dot without
reason to support it Very likely there
are many patrons of the circulating li
brary who read and forget who tiud
nothing but a means of pleasantly
passing tbe time. And to this exten
the benefit Is small at tbe best Hu
there Is another side to the problem.
Reports from one librarian, for In
stance, show that there Is a couKtaut
Increase In the demand for sclt-uUfi
works and for those volumes which do
not cater to the transient desire for
"something to read." Teople who
habitually ask for biographies, for the
essays of Emerson and for the his
tories of their own and of other coun
tries are by no means reading to their
injury. Of course, the ownership of
books to on all accounts the better way
But there are thousands wbo cannot
afford the better works. In the ab
sence of a free circulating library they
would not read at all, because they
could not And tbey are surely Im
proved by the reading of even a bor
rowed volume. It Is easy for the essay
tot to inveigh against public libraries
and to point out from the seclusion of
book-walled rooms how much more
desirable and profitable Is ownership.
Bat In a day when ebeap novels are In
loss and less demand continually, and
when public libraries are sending out a
constantly increasing number of mer
itorious works, there Is much reason
for hope. The average of Intelligence,
of culture and of that broad education
which comes of good reading Is higher
to-day for tbe circulating libraries than
it possibly could have been without.
And that Is warrant enough for the sys
tem, and apology enough for the ex
penae.

Mr. fcuafroth. of Colorado, made an
admirable financial speech In the
Bouse on tbe 20th of May, an extract
from which is as follows:
Those who claim that tbe battle for
free coinage of silver bas been fought
and lost and that It will never be tbe
leading Issue again, do not realize what
must yet be done, and bow slowly In
accomplishment in order to establish
tbe gold standard. Tbe next step to
be taken by the gold-standard powers
will be to treat all silver and silver cer
tificates cs credit money redeemable In
gold. The Secretary of the Treasury
has already announced that be will
directly redeem the silver In gold when
In bis judgment there Is any necessity
for so doing. After that policy Is firm-
established, tbe gold standard na
tions will attempt to absolutely destroy
all silver as money. Tbey will claim
with irresistible logic that If silver
money Is redeemable In gold, it to noth
ing more than a promise to pay gold;
that a promise to pay can be printed
on paper at a small fraction of the ex-
Dense reaulred to buy silver bullion
and coin It Into money. The gold ad
vocates of this country wih claim that
to foolish for the United States to
have nearly $500,000,000 Invested In
silver coins when they are merely
promises to pay gold.
Again, It will be claimed that as sll
ver coins can be counterfeited out of
sliver bullion for about 50 cents on tbe
dollar, so perfectly that government
employes cannot detect tbe same, the
use of silver coins Is dangerous to the
circulating medium. Again this srgu
ment Is being used with great force in
Europe. Legislation by gold standard
nations will then surely follow, pro
viding for the retirement and sale of
all sliver colna Those so-called
friends of silver, who profess to be
lieve in an enlarged use of silver re
deemable In gold, are simply playing
Into tbe bands of the gold monometal
lists. The logical result of the estab
lishment of the gold standard is tbe ab
solute annihilation of silver as money
That means greatly Increased burdens
upon, demand for, and value of, gold
and greatly decreased price of all com
moditles and property.
The establishment of tbe gold stand
ard throughout the world means ultl
mately the redemption In gold of all
tbe incontrovertible paper currencies
now In existence. So long as a paper
currency is incontrovertible It acts as
primary money and relieves tbe strain
upon gold. Such a greatly Increased
demand for gold will surely produce
falling prices with their attendant ruin
ous effects. We are beginning to real-
toe the truth of tbe statement of Secre
tary John G. Carlisle In tbe House of
Representatives In 1878, when be said,
concerning the destruction by legisla
tion of sliver money, that
"Tbe consummation of such a scheme
ould ultimately entail more misery
upon the human race than all the wars,
Destllence. and famine that ever oc
curred In the history of tbe world."
Is It any wonder, Mr. Chairman, that
we who believe such fatal results will
follow from the establishment of tbe
gold standard should light with all the
Intensity of our being such legislation.
or that we snouia pieage ourselves
anew to tbe cause tbat In our opinion
will alleviate the bad condition, pre
vent tbe destruction of business and
enterprise resulting from falling
rnices. and produce an era of develop
ment and prosperity unparalleled In
