Why It Was Decided to Adopt Gold ns the Sole Stendard of Value. de Routkowsky, financial agent of la, has, at the request of Assistant Secretary Howell, given an account of the reform of the Russian eurrency as estab- Ushed during the year just closed. It is a very clear statement of the condition of financiai affairs in Rus: According to the former laws of Russia the monetary unit was the ver ruble, containing 18.02 grams of pure silver. Be- siies silver coins, there were circulating as currency gold coins of various denom- inaticns five and ten rubles, containing, according to the law, 1.161 grams of pure gold for every ruble, and the state credit notes issued by the state bank of Russia. Silver was the texal tender for the payment of taxes and duties to the government for an unlimited amount. All state credit rotes were issued by the Bank of State, which the only credit institution ha‘ ing the privilege of issue. The whole prop- crty of the state was a guarantee for the exchange of notes for coin, and each note contained the express stipulation that it was recognized at par with silver as legal tender for payment of taxes and dues to the government. The Russian financial agent states that, up to the year 1854, gold, silver and credit tes circulated at par. In that year be- gan the Crimean war, the heavy expenses vhich, together with those of the war of nd 1878, and other political and eco- nomic events, compelled the government to suspend the exchange of notes for coin. The suspension lasted nearly forty years, bringing to the country all of the evils of an inconvertible currency and arresting its economic development. A Great Financial Effort. The government decided to make a great financial effort. Its expenses were cur- tailed, the revenues increased and the deficit in the state budget eliminated. This policy enabled the government in fifteen years to accumulate a large reserve of gold—more than twelve hundred million rubles. This was obtained through foreign loans and domestic production, and it re- sulted in bringing the national credit to uch a position that, instead of borrowing t 6 per cent, as was the case fifteen years 10, it was possible at the close of the period to get gold at 3.2 per cent. Having accumulated a sufficient amount of gold to resume specie payments, and the expenses and revenues of the government having been so regulated as to result in a surplus d of a deficit, the government unde: took to deliver the country from incon- vertible currency. The first question to de- cide what would be the new unit of currency ‘The silver ruble had been, but the value of silver had declined so much ‘ince the monetary laws of Russia were established that the value of pure sil contained in a coin of one ruble, expressed in goid, was only forty-five copecks, instead of one hundred. and the value in’ gold of a credit note of one ruble was sixty-six and two-thirds copecks. Silver rubles being the standard, the gov- ernment had the right to declare the ex- change of paper rubles at par with sil- ver, but the exchange at such a rate would have fixed the silver standard in the country, and would have brought a great financial loss to all cred- itors. In consequence of constant fluc- tuations of the price of silver, and the practically unlimited amount of that metal. ich can be produced at low cost with proved methods, silver was considered by the imperial government as entirely un- fit to be used as the monetary unit, and therefore gold was accepted, it being re- garded as the only metal least subject io fluctuations of value, and recognized as such by the leading commercial nations of the world. It was decided at the same time to take silver only as a subsidiary metal for the minor coins. In_ redeeming the credit note it was decided to give it the velue-in gold which it in the average curing the last three years in commercial transactions—that is, sixty-six and two- thirds copec making it two-thirds of the value of the former gold ruble. If the credit notes were made exchangeable for Tubles (forty- five copec in gold), which the govern- ment had a perfect right to do, there would have been a great loss to creditors. If the notes were made exchangeable for gold at the value of fermer gold rubles (one hun- dred copecks), there would have been a great loss to debtors, besides a di ce in the productive powers of the country. Th perial ukases of January 3, Au- nd November 14, 1897, framing the above mentioned principles, have conus settled the currency ques- tion in Fi Gold the Standard of Value. Gold will henceforth be the sole standard of value, and the new unit of currency will be a ruble containing 2 grams of pure gold, equal in value to 51.45 cents in United States gold. Silver will be issued for sub- sidiary coins only, and one ruble will con- tain 18.02 grams of pure silver, as hereto- fore. The state bank of Russia, will be, as heretofore, the enly credit institution which will have the right to issue state credit notes, exchangeable at par with gold in the e bank and all its branches, It bees ue such notes to an unlimited amou oth gold and credit notes are made le; tender to an unlimited amount. The is- sues of the credit notes by the state bank, if needed by the expansion of commerce, will be so regulated that the amount of outstanding notes will not be allowed to exceed by more than 300,000,000 rubles the value of gold coin and gold bars deposited in the state bank for their redemption. The amount of outstanding state credit notes December 5 last, in bank and in circulation, was 1,068,000,000, and the amount of gold in coin and in bars in the bank was 1,160,000,- 000. The exchange of state credit notes at par with gold is guaranteed, in addition to the gold reserve, by the whole state prop- erty (about 600,000,000 acres of forest and 15,000 miles of railroads, besides govern- ment lands, etc.). Silver in the state bank will not be included in the metallic reserve of the bank for the purpose of redemption. Silver has been coined to the amount of 40,000,000 rubles, and the character of the legal tender of the silver rubles has not been changed in the recent laws. Until it shall be decreed otherwise, silver coins will be a legal tender for all taxes and dues to the government in an unlimited amount, but not so between private individuals. The plan of currency reform adopted does not concern in the least the creditors of the imperial Russian government, as all loans and interest will be paid, as usual, in the money in which they were contracted— that is, in francs, pounds sterling, dollars, marks, florins, etc. ——_——_—_——-o-—_—____ WEDDED THRICE AT EIGHTEEN: gust An Indiana Boy Already the Victim of Two Divorces, A special to the Philadelphia Press from Indianapolis says: Benson Eggers of North Salem will not be eighteen years old until next summer, but he has been mar- ried three times.

A dispatch from Columbus, Ohio, last night says: The mass republican convention at the Auditorium in this city this afternoon was the largest assemblage ever known in the history of the city. The capacity of the Auditorium is 5,000. All the standing room was taken, and many thousands were un- able to gain admittance. The meeting lasted from 3 to 6 p.m., with unbroken en- thusiasm and intense indignation through- out its proceedings. There were repeated scenes of hissing when the names of Gov. Bushnell, Mr. Kurtz and oth were men- tioned. The terms “traitors.” “Judas” and the like were frequently used. Several of the speakers referred to Senator Foraker in connection with the revolt in the party. Congressman Burton of Cleveland pre- sented a petition with over 10,000 signa- tures from the home of Senator Hanna in favor of his election. The speakers were Congressman Grosvenor, D. W. Ayres of Marysville, W. W. Peabody of er Congressman 8S. A. Northway, W. Weaver, who presided; D. K. Watson, & H. Southard, J. Warren Keifer, R. W. Tay- lor, W. 8. Kerr, W. B. Warner, James A. Hoyt of Cleveland, ex-Gov. Foster of Fos- toria, Emmet Tompkins of Columbus, Chairman Nash and Col. R. M. Nevin of Dayton. After the meeting Senator Hanna was serenaded at the Nei!, and responded sin several speeches. Senator Hanna did not attend the mass convention nor the inaug- ural exercizes earlier in the day. The sena- tor was compelled to make many speeches during the day and evening, and in all his responses he expressed the fullest confi- dence in the final outcome of the pending contest. Chairman Nash, in reviewing the situa- tion, said: Speech of Judge Nash. Judge George K. Nash, chairman of the republican state executive committee, in calling the republican state mass conven- tion to order, said: Republicans of Ohio: For the first time in the history of the republican party in this state you have been called, by your executive committee, to meet in mass convention. This was ex- traordinary action on the part of the com- mittee, and can only be justified by the ex- istence of grave danger. Such peril, not only to you, but even to popular govern- ment by the people, your committee con- ceived, was lurking in the legislative halls in Columbus. As your sentinels, placed on duty by you, we determined to lay the situ- ation before you and ask you to take such action as you might deem wise. Instructions for Mr. Hanna. Last spring and summer the republican county and district conventions in Ohio in- structed their nominees for representatives and senators, if elected, to cast their votes in the election for United States senator for Marcus A. Hanna, the superb leader and general, who planned and organized victory for the republicans of the nation in the vital campaign of 1806. This was the exer- cise of a right and privilege guaranteed to he people by our Constitution, which says “The people have a right to assemble to- gether in a peaceable manner to consult for their common good and to instruct their representatives.” in June the republican party, by its duly authorized agents assembled in state con- vention at Toledo, made a covenant with the people that if successful her represen- tatives would return Mr. Hanna to the Sen- ate. During the campaign which followed, at every meeting held in Ohio, all our speakers, from Governor Bushnell down to the most humble orator in the log school house, pledged themselves that this cove- nant of the party should be kept. Upon this issue, among others, the campaign was conducted and the people returned an am- ple majority of republicans to the general assembly. Fought Under Cover. All during that campaign certain men, claiming to be republicans, fought our can- didates for the legislature, from under cov- er and from the bushes. They did not make an open, manly fight in the Nght of day and where the people could see what they were about. This charge is amply proven from the election returns on file in the office of the secretary of state. However much we must despise the metn- ods of these men and deubt their party loy- alty and love of republican principles, we must concede that as American citizens they had a right to vote against our legis- lative candidates. Here the contest should ave ended. But it did not. The last returrs from the election had not been received before these men disclosed the existence of a conspiracy with our open and avowed enemies to bring shame upon the republican party and to lead her trust- ed and honored representatives into paths of dishonor. Behind barred and locked doors, through which no sound could es- cape to alarm the honest people, they Sought to have our great party, which through ull her glorious history never did a dishonorable thing, break her faith, sol- emnly pledged to the people of Ohio. With the whispering and insinuating wiles of dis- honest politicians they tempted your rep- resentatives to disobey your instructions and disregard the will of the pecple. Captured the Outpos' On Monday last they captured the out- posts of our citadel in organizing the sen- ate and house of representatives of Ohio. Then the extent and strength of the con- spiracy first dawned upon the people of Ohio. Then the question was not whether Mark A. Hanna should continue to be a United States senator. It was, shall the honor and integrity of the republican party be preserved unsullied? It was, shall the will of the people be done? In this emergency we appealed to you. A storm of indignation has swept over our great state and has culminated in this meeting today. Republicans of Ohio, you now know the situation. It is for you to deal with it as your consciences and wis- dom may dictate. Resolutions were adopted outlining the objects of the bolters from the party, and calling on all members of the republican party in Ohio to frustrate their schemes. Gov. Bushnell was called on by name to exert his influence to stay the threatened assault on the party in general and Senator Hanna in particular. ———-—+ e+ _____ Henry Webb's Sudden Death.

HIS ELECTION IN DANGER Hinrichsen's Oampaigu for the Congres- sional Committee Chairmanship. Opposition im the Milinoin Delegation= Anti-Silver Dembcrats of Working Against Him. Suspected An interesting situation involvifg nation- al democratic politics. is being upfelded at the Capitol. For tle present it centers about the Illinois delégation in the House, but promises to take @ wider scope until it includes all of the free silver forces in the House. For the past week gr two the deaditrats of the various state delegations have been holding caucuses to select a man f¥om each delegation as a memHer, of the demoeratic congressional nate committee. Coin= cident with this, several gentlemen who desired to be chairmdn of that committee have been pushing their interests’ Up to this time Representdtive “Buck” Hinrtch- sen has been in the lped for chal: AS announced in The St@r:last Saturfay, his selection for that position was practically assured, As a matter of fact, Mr. Hinrich- sen had received pronsises from a majority of the members then.elected of their sup- port for his candidacy as chairman. Mr. Hinrichsen had) Rot done thig without making sure, as he thought, that he would be a member of the committee himsalf. To be sure, there is nathing to prevent the committee from cho a chairman out- side of thelr own membership, but Mr. Hinrichsen preferred to have his delegation back of him. To that end he secured an understanding, it is said, with his demo- cratic colleagues in the delegation, Messrs. Campbell, Hunter and Jett. Mr. Campbell wanted to represent the delegation on the committee himself and Mr. Hinrichsen said that he did not care to have the place un- less he could be chairman. Mr. Campbell became convinced, it ip said, that Mr. Hin- richsen could be elected chairman, and it is claimed that he yiélded to Mr. Hinrich- sen. Mr. Hunter and Mr. Jett were both for him, and Mr. Hunter told him in person that he would help him get the chairman- ship. A Change im Feeling. However, a change has appeared to come over the dreams of the Illinois dele- gation. Mr. Hunter told Mr. 1-nrichsen he was afraid he wauld have to be against him in his candidaey fer member of the committee. Mr. Camapbell also experienced a change of heart, it wagsaid, and, to make matters worse for Mr, Hinrichsen, they concluded to invite to the caucus Mr. Jehu Baker. This gentleman was eleeted ‘to Congress as a populist with dernocratic in- dorsement. He has not taken part in the democratic caucus, it 1s said, and is looked upon more as a populist than a democrat. ‘The delegation will decide who shall rep- resent the state of Ilingis on the congres- sicnal committee. Mr. Hinrichsen is con- vinced that a majority of the democrats of the House of Representatives’ favor his election to the chairmanship of the con« gressional committee, and he will not aban- don his attempts to have his own delega- tion back hire in that effort. ational Significames. Further inquiry into the matter shows that there is a national feature to this case, which upon the surface appears: to be. but a squabble in the Illinois delegatfén. The opinion prevails among many that anti- silver interests are at work to prevent the election of Mr. Hinrighsen. It is hinted that Mr. Croker, the New York boss, is taking a hand in the affair in order to pre- vent the control of the congresstonal_com- mittee passing irrevocably into the hands of. the free coinage people. It {s said that Represeniative McClellan of New York was originally selected as the member of the New York delegation on the committee, and was known to. favor Mr. Hinrichsen for chairman. After Mr. Crok- er’s recent visit to Washington Amos Cum- mings was chosen to'be the New York member of the committee, and he is op- posed, it is said, to Mr, Hinrichgen, and in favor of Senator Faulkner for chairman of the committee. It_is well understood among democrats in the House that if “Buck” Hinrichsen takes-charge of the congressioaal commit- tee the campaign next fall will be fought upon the Chicago platform. The same is- sues will be to the front, and free sflver coinage will be foremost among them. Mr. Hinrichsen is one of the pioneers of tne national movement for free sfver in the demceratic party. He was the. father of the Springfield convention, which swung the denocrats of Iilinofs into Mne for free silver, and caused the. democrats of other states to follow suit.
