THE EIGHT SOET OP PUBLIC SPIE1T. What the people of New Orleans most lack is that sort of public spirit that induces them to forget all differences and work together for the great Interests of the city. In another column is an interesting interview from Mr. B. B.

Jones, the patriotic and firm foreman of the last grand jury of the Criminal Court. Mr. Jones expressed his regret at the general apathy and indiflerence of the people generally on the subject of good government; and in that connection he said, very properly, that gov ernment can be no better than the people make it, and until the people take patriotic pride in their city's welfare and good name, and evince their interest by fulfilling the requirements of good citizens, there can be no check on the wastefulness or unreliability of municipal servants. Nothing can be more true. Citizens ought not to wait until they are per sonally threatened, or until their own interests aie attacked by public abuses.

They ought to recognize that anything which hurts the city hurts them. When the Picayune attacked the belt rail road scheme that finally caused the general revolt against the methods of the city government, no attention was attracted to the matter, until the citi zens whose property was affected started an excitement on the subject, and this excitement, spreading from one to another, finally aroused the peo ple to a great movement against municipal corruption. But even now it is to be feared that a feeling of indifference is growing up again, because in dividual interests are no longer men- ace( But the fact remains that what hurts the honor, the -commerce and general business of the city hurts everybody in it. It is not the right spirit to maintain a stolid indifference to great public interests. The Picayune is con stantly standing for great interests, and it does not always find it easy to arouse the people to a proper sense of the situation.

Too many citizens are inactive until they are individually touched or threatened by some job. The Picayune in all such cases is not championing any individual interested, but that which concerns the body poli-i tic. When the people of New Orleans learn to stand together they will make grand city their New Orleans. WHAT BEtiCLAT8 VALUES. The proposition that the value of a thing must be governed by the cost of production is as false as that it is measured by its usefulness, as is easily seen in any survey of the ordinary Priceg of necessaries in the markets of the country or of the world.

Some ten or a dozen years ago cot ton sold in New Orleans for 10 cents a pound, and wheat sold in Chicago for 100 cents a bushel. The cities men tioned are respectively the most im portant cotton and wheat markets in the world. It is not likely that the costs of producing wheat and cotton have declined to any extent in the past ten years, certainly not in such ratio as the price has gone down. Evi dently the prices of wheat and cotton to-day, standing relatively at about CO cents a bushel for the one and 5 cents a pound for the other, cannot have been the results of decreased costs of production. Nor can their diminished values have been caused by any de cline of usefulness, since these staples are just as much necessaries of life as they were when they sold for double the values that can now be claimed for them It should not require any further demonstration to show that the stand ard of value does not depend on the cost of production, or upon the useful ness of the articles themselves, and there must be some other explanation of the regulation of value, keeping al ways to the general doctrine that a thing is worth just what it will bring in the open market.

Passing by the entire subject of bar ter which existecL.before money was invented, it will Ife necessary to con aider the money metals, gold and silver, since all naner eurrencv. whether in the notes of governments, or of individuals, is simply mqde up of promises to pay gold and silver, or either. Mankind had reached a high state of civilization before money was invented. The extreme inconvenience of barter had been established, and it was neces sary to devise some method by which exchanges of value could be readily and accurately made. Gold and silver had long been objects of admiration and extensively used as ornaments and adornments for the persons of the wealthy and distinguished, and, being also recommended by their practical indestructibility and resistance to de cay and rust, were chosen as representatives of value.

Precious stones might on some accounts have been se lected, but they could not be divided into larger or smaller proportions to make payments, and obviously the choice fell on gold and silver. Gold, being the more beautiful in public estimation, was held in greater admiration, and its extreme weight gave an idea that a greater value was concentrated in It. Bulk for bulk, gold is about twice as heavy as sil ver, and, therefore, an ounce of gold will occupy about half the room re quired for an ounce of silver. In the far East, in very early times, gold was held to be only twice as valuable as silver, and this reckoning appears to have been based on the relations of weight. The relations of the two metals in the time of the liomans was somewhat variable, but was general 1 ofgold to 12 of silver, and this ratio seems to have generally obtained up to the discovery of Amer ica.

The Spaniards having opened to the nations the treasures of the New World, which they for centuries prac tically controlled, some time about the year 1700 established the ratio of 16 to 1, which has since been accepted throughout the commercial nations. Mexico and Peru, which were the principal sources of the Spanish treasures, were far richer in silver than in gold, and it was doubtless upon the basis silver was sixteen times as abundant as gold that influenced the determination of the Spanish mint to establish such relative values for the two metals. When the great mines of California and Australia, the. richest the World has ever known, poured their floods of gold into the commerce of the world, the Idea began to be en tertained that the yellow metal would fbecome more abundant than the white: but the subsequent discoveries of sil ver and the fruitfulness of the old mines soon dispelled this and the ratio of We two 'metals remains as i 1 was essaoiMMieu uy iue One of the circumstances -that has lone operated to create: and maintain for Pold was the action of the British Government, wnicn xoj.o, i fsr, Ti TCwton. who was Master of the MinV charged a higher seigniorage upon the coinage Of silver-tnan or goiu; so it was mute advantageous to keep gold in England, and to send silver abroad to pay or elgn debts witn.

otner nauons weic perfectly willing to accept silver at. the ratio of 16 to 1, and, as a result; England secured a large stock of gold, while the silver was put off on foreign countries. But; of course, this is not the only reason for the decline of silver in the past few years. It is the result of the i.n -Vi5Ti VA -nM. once so rich, while the silver product shows no such falling off until since it became unprofitable to work the less prolific mines.

But should there be any increase in the value of silver. there will be no difficulty in securing ample production. Coming back to the question of val ues, it appears that the relative condi tions of demand and supply have more than anything else to do with regu lating prices. When the crops, for in stance, are very abundant, prices will eo down. When they are cut short, prices will go up.

This country has rt a rartuMo oi com' rlsina- above that of wheat. Ordinarily wheat I stands far above corn; but in 1S94 an abundant wheat crop was harvested in summer, while the corn, which is a fall crop, was cut off by excessive drought. The scarcity of corn raised its value, while the abundance of wheat operated to depress its own mar ket. The excessive crops of cotton and wheat have depressed the prices of those articles, just as the excessive production of silver in proportion to srold has reduced the value of sil ver. It is useless to talk of putting up prices by legislation.

No law which the United States can make will enhance the price of silver or depress the price of gold in London. Every thing depends on the great laws of demand and supply. PUNISHMENT FOR TREASON. The foreign dispatches have recent ly contained many references to the trial and conviction of Captain Drey fus, of the French army, on the charge of treason, he having been accused of selling: to a foreign government im portant documents belonging to the War Department. Captain Dreyfus, though protesting his innocence, was condemned to degradation from rank and to confinement for life in a fortress.

Yesterday the ceremony of degrading the condemned officer was carried into effect in the presence of 4000 troops. The sword of the unfortunate man was broken, and his coat buttons and in signia of rank were cut off. No more Impressive and awe-inspiring event could well be imagined than this ter rible punishment visited upon a military officer in time of peace. While there will be a disposition to sympa thize with the unfortunate man, there certainly can be no doubt as to the justice of the punishment, if, as is claimed, his guilt haa been fully proven. Situated as France is with respect to the other European powers, the divulging of her military secrets to her possible foes was unquestionably an act of treason.

The condemnation of Captain Drey fus, and the dramatic ceremony of his degradation, are events calculated to produce a profound impression in Eu rope. THE COTTON ACREAGE PROBLEM. With the advent of the new year the future of the cotton industry as sumes the position of the most Im portant matter before the people of the Southern States. As a result of the enormous crop of 1894, coupled with the depression existing in all branches of trade, cotton has so depreciated in value that the price is now generally admitted to be considerably below the cost of production. 1 Such being the case, the policy to be pursued with respect to the next crop becomes a serious problem, which must receive a solution within the next few months It is clear that whatever remedies are resorted to to correct the existing abnormal conditions, united action on the part of the cotton growers is necessary.

If curtailment of acreage is agreed upon as the proper remedy, the reduction must be uniform throughout the cotton States. The same may be said of all other expedients that may suggest themselves. With a view to securing this united action, a convention of the cotton grow- eis is to be held shortly in Jackson, to which delegates from all the cotton-growing States are invited. Yes terday the Cotton Factors' Association of this city decided to send repre sentatives to this convention, and they also adopted a sort of memorial to be piesented. In this memorial the reduction of acreage is pointed to as the onlyefficacious remedy which can be adopted to restore profitable prices and again place the cotton industry on a healthy basis.

It is, pointed out that foreign spinners are confidently count ing on another large crop this year, and jiverpooi is actually selling cotton i arrive during the next season at a figure equivalent to 4 l-2o on planta- tions. It Is shown that the cotton growers have the remedy in their own hands, and that remedy is the sys tematlo reduction of the acreage all over the South. The factors have also evolved a plan of. organization for a national cotton- growers' association, which will be proposed at the Jackson convention. The scheme contemplates State and county branches of this national association, and all members are to be bound to reduce the cotton acreage a certain percentage, the executive com mittee in each county to have the power to destroy all cotton planted in excess of the percentage of acreage agreed upon.

There can be no question but that the reduction of the cotton acreage is the proper policy to be pusued at the present time. Only the certainty of a smaller crop next year can give a permanent tendfflcy to prices, and the; sooner the cotton growers make up their minds to this the better. In" order that the reduction in acreage canbe made it is necessary, that it should1 be general, and -that no one inay suffer an in justice the reduction should also be uniform. While the is fully per- suaded of the wisdom of reducing the I ja nii rtf w.r I uuxxxxxs diversification should not be lost signt of."

The appeal made to generosity of the people of the State is one that cannot fail to secure a ready response, It is true that, owing to the low price at which our crops are selling, business Is not prosperous and as a result! is not prosperous, ana, as a renin uiuury is uui us iieiiLu.ui as ib uiigui be; but the food crops of this State nave neen unusually aounaani, ana as iuese are just me Buppues mat iue people of Nebraska stand most in need of, something can easily be snared from our Tt- i. r.nAA wVo A-A-Affy.

The only truly American principle of foreign policy ever enunciated by an American statesman is the declaration known as the Monroe Doc trine. It was set forth, in his annual message to Congress in 1823, by President Monroe. It was expressed' in face of the attempts by Spain and Portugal to overthrow the independence of Central and South American na tionalities that had once been colonies of those countries, and it announced that it was contrary to every principle of American policy that European na tions should be allowed to interfere in the affairs of the American Hemi sphere.

Unfortunately thia doctrine, which iu" wisuuui auu iureiuuUKUU I uim ueeii emireiy negiecieu, suve iu me I Fourth-of-July speeches, and has con tinued from the first to be a dead let ter. The first flagrant violation of that important doctrine was the Clayton- Bulwer treaty with England, which de clared that the United States has no more right than has England to interfere in the affairs of American coun tries, and promises to keep hands off. This is the great bugbear that pre vents Congress from taking any inter- 1 .1. I kbi iu. iub witamgua or any omer Ajnerican istnmus snip canal.

It is not contend ed by the Government that the print ing is done for the purpose of fraud, but' that the making of fac similes of the stamps is against the law, which ought to settle the matter.

A very similar application of this I same law wa. recently made were so engraved as to closely resent- Die Un ted States notes.
