THE SILVER FLUCTUATI0N.

In recent comments on the silver legis-
lation we stated that the creation of an ar
bitrary and artificial market for silver in
the United States started that metal this
way from all countries wherein it is pro-
duced. In the regular Associated Press
dispatches of October LIST it will be seen
that after the opening of the market for
the day the quotations dropped to 81 093
per ounce, loss of II cents from the clos
ing prices of the day before. The big
spectators stepped in to avert wreck,
and commenced buying silver irrespective
of prices elsewhere. This succeeded in
sustaining the market and forced it up
Jew points, the maximum being 81 12i.
1t is said that there is enough silver in
New York alone to supply the Govern
ment for two months; that large guam
tity of Mexican and South American coins
have been received at the assay office to be
melted into bars; these coins were bought
according to their commercial value. The
dispatch also states that the theory on
which the importation of silver from Eu-
rope was to be prevented, was the differ
ence in the coinage value between the two
countries. Even if silver went up to
1929, which is gold parity, the American
coinage is 16 to l of gold, while the Euro
pean coinage is 159 to l of gold; thus
creating difference Of 3 per cent. in
favor of American silver. Notwith-
standing this theory, it is a fact that
great deal of silver came from
London during the rise in value, and is
stored in America for the purpose of sup
plying the prospective market. Thus the
most impartial information confirms our
statement that the silver of the world
started for America, and in the case of
Mexico and South America even the coins
of those countries are being brought to the
United States and are being melted into
bars. The dispatches also indicate that
| there was vast amount of silver stacked
up in the Western mines and smelling
works, and that when the prospect be-
came good that the silver bill would pass,
mining operations generally were ex-
tended in anticipation of an increased
profit in production.
Thus the financial news from the most
impartial sources of information fully con-
firms all statements made in our recent
editorial comments on this subject. The
transactions, according to the New York
World, show that the ffuctuation is due to
the work of the London operators, who de-
press the market for the purpose of specu-
| lating in the metal

DISSENTING OPINION OF DOLE, J

1t is clear to me that in the au-
thorities referred to in the opinion
OF the Court, the relation of master
and servant was considered to exist
between the owners and drivers of
the London cabs purely by virtue of
the English statutes: Il agree that,
Independently of the Acts of Parlia-
ment relating to this subject, the
relation between them would be that
of bailor and bailee, not that of
master and servant. = But l
think that the provisions of the Acts
of Parliament alter what would
otherwise be the relation of the pro-
prietor and the driver, and for the
protection of the public produce the
result that, as regards mischief done
by the driver, who is selected by the
proprietor, the relation of master
and servant so far exists as to render
the proprietor responsible for the
acts of the driver" (Venables VS..
Smith, 2 L. R. Q. B., 1921 This is
supported by Powles VS.. Hider Is E.
& B., 20S), the authority quoted in
the opinion of the Court and by
Fowler VS. Lock e L. r. G. P, 272).
The latter authority, indeed, which
was an action brought by the driver
of cab against the owner for dam
ages for furnishing, with the cab, an
unruly horse which injured the
plaintiff, goes further and somewhat
weakens the force of Powles VS..
Hider. The majority of the Court in
Fowler VS.. Lock decided that as be-
tween the owner and driver of the
cab the relation was not that of
master and servant, but that of bailor
and bailee and Judge Wilde, who
dissented from his associates. said
" In deciding this case against the
defendant we should seem directly to
override the reasoning of the Court
of Queens Bench. In Powles VS..
Hider.)
We have then to find in our sta
tutes enactments which, like the
English Acts, create the relation of
master and servant between hack
owner and driver as regards mischief
done by the driver to the public in
the prosecution of his work as driver,
before we can hold the defendant in
this cause responsible to the plaintiff
for the injury complained of. As our
law library does not contain the

THE WORLDS POPULATION.

There are about 1,500,0O0,O0O in
habitants on the globe. OF these
SO, OBJ, 033 die every year. There are
1904 languages and over 1000 reli-
gions professed by the people. The
number of males and females is
about equal and their average life is
about thirty-three years; one-fourth
of the inhabitants die before they
reach their fifteenth year. To 1000
persons OILY one reaches the age of
lOO years; to every 100 only six
reach the age of 65, and not more
than one in 500 lives to see their
eightieth year; 33,033,033 dying
every year, makes a grand total of
l,o23 per day, $3.50 per hour, 60
minute, or one every time the clock
ticks!
Married persons live longer than
single ones, and the tall have better
chance for long life than those of
short stature Women have more
chances of life in their favor previous
to fifty years of age than men have,
but fewer afterward.
The number of marriages is in
proportion of seventy-tive to every
1000 individuals born; the time
when the greatest number of mar
liages takes place is in June and
December-about the time of the
summer and winter solstices. Dark
haired persons have better chance
in the greater struggle for existence
than those of the opposite complexion,
except in contagious diseases, where
blondes are comparatively exempt
A person born in hot weather stands
the heat great deal better than one
born in the cold months of winter;
of course the rule works vice versa.
Those born in the spring are usually
of a more robust constitution than if
born at any other time of the year.
Births are more frequent by night
than by day; also deaths.

The drivers paid the defendants $50

far from the truth. Never before
in Maine were there such splendid
chances to get fine farms at such good bar
gains rs now. On these farms man who is
willing to work year In and year out as do
successful mechanics and business men can
become independent and have as good a home
as any man need wish. The excessive COM
petition of the West has changed the condi-
tons OF farming in Maine in the last twenty
nve years; but there are many things in
which the West cannot compete, and for
such products the Maine farmer is finding a
market constantly widening Moreover,
there is reason to believe that Western COM
petition has done its worst, and that the
pendulum has begun to start the other way.
The opportunities of life are so varied in the
United States that it has become quite the
fashion for the young man to decide that it
is best to leave the Maine farm for the West
or the cities. But this fashion is likely to
change considerably, since it is doubtful if
the facts are supporting it. To our Nova
Scotia correspondent we may safely say that
the Provincial farmer who should find him
self situated so favorably as the average
Maine would never think of abandoning his
farm or Of selling it for sacrifice,
