This the modern British merchant does not do ; he plies what the manufacturer sends hims, not what the people require. He is like the farmer in this country.

THE DRUMMOND CASTLE "
DISASTER.
THE OFFICIAL INQUIRY.
LONDON, July 30th.
The result of the Inquiry into the loss of the Drummond Castle was a foregone conclusion, There was practically nothing to inqulic into, and no evidence to sasteaste wa Inquiry, Two teamen and a passenger were the sole survivorA of the wreck, and, beyond firing the time of the diasster, they could contribale nothing of valua for the informsifba of the Court. The vessel struck the rocky inside of Urbant Island when she should have been miles outside of a fact which after the discovery of the vessel required no demonstration. It fol lows that a wrong course was steered, and for that the captain alone was responsible. That be committed an error of Judgment is beyond dispute that others have made the same mis- take is equally clear; fortunately, the error is ose which more careful navigator avoid by gir. ing the dangerous spot a wider barth. The inset current, of which so much has been sald, is well known to vary in strengths, but its extreme force is also known, and Captain Whail, recognised authority on tides and currents, lays it down that in thick weather 'ne captalo making for the Channel should shape a course to pass notrer than thirty miles off Vråant. Had Captain Pierce adopted this simple rule the disaster
would have been avoldad, and no there was nothing to prevent his adopting it and nothing to be gained by neglecting it, on his memory alone must lie one of the most terrible disasters of modern days. It is nothing to the purpose to nrge that the poor fellow being drowned It is cruel to attack him; his blunder has caused the loss of hundreds of lives at least as valuable skill, and that have been sacelficed by his want as his own-lives that were dependent on his of skill. It is in ibis direction alone that the Inquiry, by throwing light on the qualifications of the late captain as a navigator, could be of value. Counsel for the managers of the line resented as irrelevant any allusions to the captain's past career; but with the established fact that the Drummond Castle had been
improperly navigated-as proved by her lone the Court had no alternative but to admit evidence bearing on the captain's previous record; and the evidence was such as to cast considerable doubt on the wisdom of the managers of the line in retaining his services.

The following letter on the silver question, by Mr. George D. Boulton, of Chicago, appeared in the Chicago Tribune and Times Herald of fuly 12th last, and, as it appeals to us as such a clear, con. cisa and instructive paper on the subject of so much general interest to yourselves and the public at large, we think it well to present it to you for your perusal and consideration. The leiter was written to Mr. C. Morgan, Postmaster at Barrie, N. Dak, in response to an enquiry from him for some enlightenment on the subject, in order that he might be in a position to more forcibly sapport his side of the case-the gold one as against thoas taking an opposite view on the subject,
CHARLES MORGAN,
Chicago, July 10th, 1896.
Barrie, North Dakota. My Dear Morgan,—Your brother showed mo a letter a few days ago in which you asked for some reading matter on the gold question. As I feel strongly on the subject," "I may as well give you the benefit of my crude Ideas, not having ar printed matter at hand.
There are a goo 1 many leading points on this question which I think can be briefly expressed and which appeal strongly, to my side of the argument,
One of the most urgent motiver of the allver party is that they want cheap money. By that I suppose they mean money they can borrow cheaply or earn chesply. Now, the cheapest money in the world is in the strongest gold Country—riz., England. The dearst money In the world is in the sliver. For example, money In London to-day is a per cent, per annum, while money in Mexico, China, Spala, India, and la fact in all silver countries of the world, com mands a loaning value of from 12 per cent. upward. In the other gold countries of Europe, while money is not so low as in England, the rale viries from 3 to 5 per cent, to the borrower. I may cite as a good example of the two currencies two Staic adjolning one another in South America, one--British Gelana, a gold canstry, with money at 4 to 6 per cent. per "Annum : the offer Venezuela, with like soll and cilmatic conditions, a silver country, where interest rules at 10 to 12 per cent, per sanam.
CIRCULATION WOULD BE DECREASED, Should we depart from a gold basis, Europe would undoubtedly send in all the currency securities that la, securilles that may be paid in anything but gold—to us, requiring an export of either gold or its equivalent in leads. If it takes gold, it inkes that much of our money circulation. It it takes merchandise it take that at a largely reduced value. The consequence would be that shrinkage In money circulation would run into very large figures, while we could not put out allver or cerilicates sufficient to take their place for many months or years, so that during the next three or four years, instead of the circulation increasing, as silverlies hope, it would materially decrease. After a lapse, of time, no doubt, by putting their plating presses and inlets to work, they could largely inflate our currency by new issues.
Currency depletion means low price for labour and everything else. Currency at a fair rate per capita means prosperity, Currency In. flation means danger again.
Golag buck Isto history we find Europa uslug largely silver and gold together. With the ex pansion of trade one constry after another found by sid experience their inability to keep the two values on parity. England was the first to depart from ibis custom, then Germany, then France, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Austria, and, last of all, Chile. It was from ne prejudice on their part, but from the requirements of trads that this course was taken.
We can only have one standard, be it of gold, liver, or anything else, and the experience of the world has been that gold was the best. Again, where the country is most sound on its qurrency question you will find the highest civilization. Where money is debased, or is
other than the recognised standard of the world, civilization is on a much lower plane. We can find at the present time no silver country in the world, I think I might way without exception, that is fa a prosperous condition whose government securites command respect and full prices in the markets of the world.
will probably take exception, and cite as an To this statement our friends from the West example of a silver country being prosperous and in good condition, the case of Mexico; but they will find it difficult to support their asses

Ing of money and general financial trouble, which will be felt by all classes, whether the farmer, the labourer, the mechanic, or capitalist. Capital can always take care of itself and will feel the trouble the least, as it can largely unload its burden on to others.
Now, legislation in favour of allver, when it
