1t Is not often given even to the Ne,o York
Times to emit worse bosh than when 1t
encourages the Hon. ROGER QuARLEs MILLS
in trying to postpone the silver question to
the tariff question. ITO take up the cause
Of free silver now" says the Tines "is not
only to court defeat for tariff reform, but to
court defeat equally for free silver. 1t Is
merely repeating the Improbable conduct
Of the dog on the foot bridge dropping
certainty while graspiDg at q shadow"
To persons who remember how Mr. PLUMB
took the bit In his teeth and pulled FREQ
coinage bill through the Senate In tho last
Congress. to the surprise and horror OF many
OF his Republican colleagues, this sort of
talk seems highly humorous. Nothing but
the will OF Tom REED. who, Tor some In
scrutable reason. interposed his abundant
body between tho Hon. BENJAMIN HAIR
RIsoN and a veto or surrender that would
have been fatal to the Hon. BENJAMIN HAIR
R1soN's hopes OF denomination, prevented the
silver men from having their own way In
the Flfty-first Congress. They had n ma
jority, but they were not allowed to uso
their strength. They will have majority
In the Fifty-eecond Congress, and 1t will be
difficult to keep them In check. fear OF
acceptuating the division between the East
and the West may prevent any legislation
on the silver question. but there Is at least
tangible possibility that the Senate might
be brought to accept free coinage bill.
How is 1t, on the other hand. with the tariff
issue which Mr.. MILLS and tho Times tho
one silverite and the other gold bug,
want to forco upon the country to the ex-
clusion Of the silver question? What chance
is there that the Republicans In the Senate
will pass House bill In reference to this sub
ject or allow any serious changes to be made
in the MCKINLEY tariff? Just about as
much chance as that Mr.. MILLS will become
o protectlonlst or the Ne,o York Times a
Democrat.
Mr.. MILLS and the Ne,u YORK Times are
fitting ut wlndmllls which their own breath
keeps In motion.

them TO borrow money on Terms less oner-
Gus than those imposed by private cepital-
lists. They say that while men engaged In
trade and manufacture can afford to pay five
per cent. for funds applicable to their busi-
ness, the cultlvator of the soil cannot pay
more than two, or at the utmost three per
cent. As matter Of fact, money Ia already
procurable at the last.named rate In many
country districts on tho security OF land,
and It 10, therefore, terms still more favorable
which the peasant expects from the State.
The French political economists have unani-
mously resisted tho demand, md in yielding
to II NJ. CoNsrANs is. OF course. swayed by
political rather than economical reasons.
Here also, doubtless rs In the case OF the
workmen's pension bill, he has to some ex-
tent been Influenced by German example.
In the Rhine province Of Prussia farmers
have long been able to obtain accommoda-
tlon from banks organized on tho So
called RAfFFE1sEN plan. These banks lend
money on real estate for three months
six months. ycar. and In exceptional
cases ten years. Where the loan Is made
for q term OF years, the debtor binds himself
to pay of the debt in annual installments.
or these RAiFFEIsEN banks there are from
ono thousand to twelve hundred; and there
are also in Germany 2,160 loan associations
Of the ScHuLTzE-DELrTzscH type, Of which
peasant proprietors, rs we'll as artisans and
small tradesmen, avail themselves. The
sum total Of the deposits in the SCHUITzE-
DEIrTzscH societies Is now nearly $24o.-
100000. In Italy, too. there arc no fewer
than CAL peoples banks. framed on a
scheme devised by LEONE WALLEMBoRa in
tho interest of farmers as vol as tradesmen
and workingmen. Tho sums deposited in
these societies aggregate nearly 500, 900, 900.
In Austria, also, there are nearly fourteen
hundred OF similar loan societies possessing
q collective capital OF $l20, 100000. In France.
on the other hand, there are ut present only
ton such associations.
Although the details OF the measure to be
introduced by NJ. constants are not yet
made known, the discussion OF tho project
in the Paris prees enables us to foreshadow
on important feature. Tho multiplication
Of farmers loan societies is to be encour-
aged by the assurance that their paper will
be discounted by tho Bank OF France-of
course with the precautions needed to dis
criminate between substantial and bogus
associations. This is n concession to the
formal demand made recently by the So
clety OF the Agriculturlsts OF Franco
that tho notes issued by farmers loan
associations should DO discounted by the
Bank OF France upon such terms with re-
gard to time OF payment and rate Of interest
as would answer to the necessities and
profits of agriculture.
One thing, at all events. Is evident: II
N. constants shall succeed In passing his
workmen's pension bill and farmers loan
bill, he will immensely multiply tho Govern
ment's means Of influencing elections. and
will haye taken q long step in the direction
OF State socialism.

liberal Jew, as to the GENTLE aRnostic. ascot
icism and decentralization arc entirely re-
pugnant. Both practically reject belief
stlll held by jealous Christians, that the
present world Is evil and that We must look
for our real happiness In another. The Jews
most advanced In liberalism seem even on
tho point Of relinquishing their separate
Sabbath. They eat and drink with their
GENTLE fellow citizens, and do not refuse In.
termarriage with them. though IL may still
60 somewhat against the grain. II some OF
the precepts Of the Talmud are still OBJ
served by the liberal Jews OF western Europe
and the United States. 1t Is on sanitary
rather than on religious grounds.
Nevertheless. while Mr.. SMITH admits that
the process of standardization Ia far I'D
vanced. he thinks that Standardization
will not be complete until the Jew gives up
the tribal rite Of circumcision. In his opin.
ion this rite must always carry with 1t tribal
sentiment and feeling Of separation from
the rest Of mankind. Yet although this dis
tinctive rite Is still observed. Mr.. SMITH
does not deny that the Hebrew is conform
ing citizen, and has refused none Of the
burdens Of the State. He adopts also.
the language Of the country In which
he lives. reserving that Of Judea for
the interior OF the synagogue. Such
conformity has had It's reward. Certainly
In this country and western Europe the
Jew has no reason to complain Of his pres
ent position. In communities OF which
wealth is the ruling power his financial
skill, sharpened by immemorial practice
and nidcd by the confederacy Of his kins-
men, make him the master Of wealth. He
may almost be said to control the French
republic. and in England patricinn pride
bows it's head before him and royalty itself
is at his feet.
It Is one OF Mr.. SMITHS noteworthy ad-
missions that the Jew. whom opportunities
Of advancement are opened to him, Is al
ways and everywhere on the side OF social
order. He does not seem to credit the 70.
port that nihilism Ia partly recruited from
the Hebrews, and he rejects as too absurd
for discussion tho notion that the disciples
Of the Talmud had anything to do with the
French revolution. The party Of the pros
porous Jew, at all events, is the party of
wealth, and as rule he is conservative.

Mr.. Goodwin Smith on tho Jews,

The article on the Jewish question con-
tlibutod by Mr.. GOODWIN SMITH to the Au-
gust number OF tho North American Reriew
hns excited good deal OF protest In some
quarters because ho attributes to the anti
6emitic movement in Russia an economical
rather than religious origin. That Is OF
course question OF fact to DO calmly dis
cussed and finally decided according to
tile weight Of evidence. Nor Is there my
doubt that In any country where legislation
has systematically prohibited or dlscour-
aSrd the jews from cultlvating tho soil, or
engaging In the normal pursuits Of the COM
munIty. they will be driven to money lend
Ing, vocation which seldom finds favor IN
the eyes OF debtors. But what has gener-
silly escaped attention Is the irankness with
which Mr.. SAITH bears witness to the
merits OF the jewish character. His testi-
mony on this head Is the more valuable
because no Is inclined to minimize the sever
ity OF the Russian persecution. and to take
the aide OF the peasant borrower against his
Hebrew creditor.
Mr.. GOODWIN SMITH acknowledges, for
instance. that in western Europe and the
United States the Jews have In large
measure yielded to the strong assimilating
forces Of an active-minded and highly edu-
Gated society. The integument Of Talmudlo
Zoe. when exposed to the rays of an initial
lsotusl civilization and to the warm breath
Of religious equality. has given way. In
