THE ARGENTINE EXPERIMENT.

The experience of the Argentine Repub-
lie is an object lesson in "cheap money
and plenty of it," In 1873 a bank was
established in Buenos Ayres to which any
person owning landed property in the
province could go and secure loan for
half its value, which was TO be fixed by
the banks appraisers. The bank gave him
a mortgage bond, called q cedula, which
was to run for twenty-four years. at from
6 TO S per cent. interest, per cent amorti-
cation. and / per cent. commission. The
interest was payable quarterly, and there
were coupons attached for the twenty-four
years.
Within ten years after the banks estab.
lishment over 500, 100000 of the cedulas
had been issued. all based upon the landed
property of single province Next in
1854 the congress of the Republic added a
national hypothecary bank to the National
Bank, and the issue of cedulas on the
landed property of the nation was author
lied for 50 per cent Of its value, at interest
from to per cent, with per cent.

THE RUSSIAN JEWS.

Goodwin Smith, in the current number
of the North american, points out what is
not generally known that neither in Rus
STA, Roumania, Germany or Greece is the
persecution of the Jews based upon differ
ences of religious belief. The Greek Catho-
lie church is absolutely tolerant to
all religions and persecution is lin
tied to the war of sects with
in the church itself. The quarrel
of the Russian peasant with the Jew is
economic, social and national. The Rus
sian Jew is rarely an agriculturist if he
can help it; he is trader, a usurer, in
the towns; he is thrifty and crafty; he
keeps the drinking shops; he is the uni
versal broker and middleman, and often a
government contractor; he is sober, labori-
Gus. thrifty, while the Russian peasant is
ignorant, stupid and incorporate, who
hates the Jew as member OF
an exclusive, clannish race, for the Rus
sian Jew is not the liberal, agnostic or
theistic Jew we find i'm America, but the
strict, orthodox Talmudic Jew, and Rus
STA drives out the Jew, as her press bluntly
admits, because he beats the peasant so
completely in business capacity that there
is no choice but the expulsion of the Jew
or the impoverishment of the Russian.
The real truth probably is that envy and
jealousy of the superior intellectual acute
ness of the Jew and of his worldly success,
and the peasant love of plumber lies at the
bottom of the anti-Jew mob outrages.
Probably the feeling which prompts these
acts of mob violence is nearly related to
that which prompted the Chinese massacre
at Rock Springs. The Chinese, like the
Russian Jew, maintains an exclusive
nationality in dress, diet, manners
and customs, and suffers not little per-
secution because of the feeling that he is
an intruder, who, for the sole purpose of
gain, has inserted himself into our civil
ization. If the Chinaman, on landing on
this coast, had cut off his queue, adopted
the American dress and diet, and become
a cheerful, smiling optimistic agnostic or
skeptic, like the japanese. it is not likely
that he would have excited so much bitter
ness as he does today.
The average American reader probably
does not know that according to the faith
of the ignorant Russian peasant, the TAX
ing of interest of any amount or
rate is sin; this was the teach
ing of the early Christian church for Gen.
turtles, and it still survives among the
superstitions inherited by the Russian
| Greek Catholics

The Smugglers.
Whatcom Express

The recent shooting affray at Wooley shows
clearly that the customs service on Puget sound
is anything but satisfactory. 1t is well known
that great many OF the custom-house officers
are implicated In smuggling, but so cleverly are
their actions covered that it has been impossible
to prove anything. As to whether Poor and his
companions were honest in their actions re-
mains to be seen, but Buchanan and Baird are
known as plueky and reliable men, who Were
on the ground under orders from q superior
officer, while the others were there on private
venture. They claim they were working for
glory; Baird claims they were after filthy lure,
and that he had seen enough to convince him
that they were smuggling. Jealousy, the reason
assigned for the act appears a little slim. Be-
cause man thinks another stands q little
higher in his employers estimation
than himself, Is that any reason
he should get out and shoot?
Well, hardly; especially when it is claimed that
the man who was supposed to be the fsvorite is
said to have fired the frat shot. The presence of
Cowboy Terry, too, casts glamour of suspicion
over the whole transaction. If Terry really
wanted to catch the Cinnamon, why did he not
get some assistance and run them into the near
est Jail, instead OF keeping them corraled for
two or three days while he sent TO Seattle for
Holden? Poor's untimely end has naturally
gained Tor his side OF the case public sympathy,
but when you get right down and look at the
matter from an unbiased standpoint there is, as
usual, another side to the question, and one that
should receive equally as much investigation as
the conduct OF Baird and Buchanan. If it does
there is just chance that some traces of the old
King county ring, which operated so success
fully few years ago, may yet be found. SYM
pathy Is all right in its place, but let US first find
where Ii belongs.

erty; that those who were injured by
wounds or enfeebled by disease shall be
pensioned by the government, and that
in all matters of public appointments
the old soldier, other things being
equal, shall be given q preference. The
government has thus far discharged not
only with full justice, but with unexam-
pied generosity, all its obligations, save
the last-that old soldiers of good repute
and capacity should be given the prefer
ence in the matter of appointment to pub
lie Office. To this extent, and to this ex-
tent only, have the veterans of the Union
any just cause for complaint and remon-
STRANGE. The G.. A. r. should vindicate its
claim to the future respect of just and
generous people by denouncing without
qualification the revival of the cry of DEM
agogues and claim agents that each en-
listed man, no matter what may have been
the character or length of his service,
or the material loss or injury 70 him
because of time spent in the army, should
receive an annual Service" pension from
the government up TO the time of his
death, with the probable extension of this
pension to his family after his decease.
The G. A. K. should formally declare that
only those soldiers who are incapacitated
from earning a livelihood should be PEN
stoned; that no legislation should be
pressed upon congress demanding PEN
sions for those who are amply able to sup
port themselves. The G. A. r., in the
judgment of its present commander, Gen.
eral Veazey, should beware henceforth
lest they lend their influence to the advo-
cacy of general service pension bill
drawn by cormorant claim agents and
voiced by blatant demagogues.

years after the National Bank began the
experiment, it had out no less than $204,-
000,0 in gold, all bearing interest.
Meantime the Buenos Ayres bank had
increased its cedulas to $3.50, OOo, 900 in
paper. making the grand total of money
which had been loaned upon land in the
republic during seventeen years, 1854 ,00O,-
600 or over $40 for every man. woman and
child.
When the government went into the
hypothecary business in 1884 paper money
was at par with gold. The government
tried to place new loan of 500, o0o, 900, but
of this loan Europe would only take
s3,5o0,00O. In January, 1885. the bank Of
Buenos Ayres suspended specie payment;
then the president of the Republic declared
the national currency legal tender. Gold
rose at once to IL per cent premium, and
then to % per cent. In February it had
reached 80 per cent, and it continued to
rise steadily till at one time it was at 5Oo
per cent. That is to say. $500 in paper was
worth only 800 in gold.
Then the cry came for more paper
money, and the government allowed the
State Banks, with capital of $3.50, OOOOoo,
to issue it in almost unlimited volume,
until the grand total of paper money In
circulation in March of the present year,
worth about % cents on dollar, was
$3.50, 600, 900, all irredeemable, and decreas-
ing in value every day. This was per
capita circulation of 500 for every man,
woman and child in the republic. That
ought certainly to have put plenty OF
money in the pockets of the people" for
500 is the highest sum per capita our
widest cheap money advocates have ever
demanded, In 1886 the National
Bank had a capital of f1o,o0O,0OO sterling,
and the Provincial Bank one of
ss,OOO,0OO sterling. Not penny Of
the latter remained. The National
Bank had lost fs,SO0,0OO of its 10000
600, and owed the government f14,0O0,0O0.
These two banks had lost, therefore, during
five years. experience with cheap money
based on landed property, about ESQ, 0O0,-
900 sterling, sum more than double the
capital of the Bank of England.
What "cheap money and plenty of it I"
has done for the Argentine Republic has
been to reduce the people of one of the
richest and most prosperous countries in
the world to the state of rage and despair
which France found itself in after the coll
lapse of the Mississippi Bubble in Ills.
