THE SILVER STANDARD
It is hoped that Senator Pittman may rally suffi
ciently strong forces and facts to his “silver conference”
plan. He is now in the Orient where he will study the
silver question for many months to come.
Many have little confidence in the plan owing to
oast unsuccessful conferences on the same matter. Sen
itor Pittman believes the present world panic is due en
:irely to lack of a silver standard and illustrates his
3oint by citing the collapse of business in the Far East
if ter India went on a gold standard. Thus far the United
States has refused to take the initiative in calling a sil
ver conference.
By Senator Pittman’s energetic campaign for res
oration of silver the metal is again an issue in national
ind world politics for the first time since 1896. The
surplus of silver has depreciated silver currency in many
countries and closed silver mines. It is this latter point
vhere silver mining looms large in the eyes of Alaskans.
Acceptance of silver in the money marts of the world
vould revive the great silver deposits and mines of the
Vest and Alaska and without question would rejuvenate
nining in every form.
Now is the time to make some positive step toward
he permanent beautification of premises in Seward,
^ess talk about beauty in general and more practice in
>articular yards is the system that spells community
approvement.

Sen. R. B. Howell, head of last year’s bunch of in
stigators of the Alaska Railroad situation, is partieu-!
arly interested in the raising of yak in Alaska. Gov. |
*arks is especially interested, too, in reindeer. Why j
rould it not be an excellent idea for these two lads to j
;et together? Both should make good herders.

Mailing circulars is all light for those who prefer
t to newspaper advertising, but if you go to the local
lostoffice you won’t find many copies of The Gateway j
n the wastebasket.
