is not constitutional to loan it to

there would be too much idle money
after the period Of activity in market
ing the product Of the year had
passed; and this would cause the
fuctuation in it's value which Mr.
Cooper really wishes 10 avoid. That
feature of this measure which Is de-
signed to secure just the amount Of
money required, just at the time
when il is required, issued directly To
the people without Che Intervention
Of banks, and the cost attending such
issue and which provides for its re-
tirement when the need OF il no
longer exists is the very strongest
feature in it's favor. 1t viii secure
just that elasticity which is necessary
to insure it's uniform value. We are
satisfied that our friend has begun TO
write upon this subject before he has
made thorough study Of it; and we
are further satisfied that if he pur-
sues his Investigations with the spirit
OF candor which seems to charaCterize
his writing, he will change his mind
before he gets through with the
study.

How CAN the government loan money at PEI
cent. when It pays per cent, at least, for the
money it borrows, without making up the differ
ence by taxing the people or going Into bank
ruptcy?-NesD York Tribune.
This fool question is being copied
by the plutocratic press as squelchel
to the sub-treasury and the land loan
bills. For the miller to borrow -four,
or the baker to borrow bread and
pay interest for the use of it, would
be a manifestation of far better sense
than for the government to borrow
money. That the government should
borrow that which it alone has au-
thority to create in unlimited amounts,
is an absurdity SO preposterous that
no reason has ever yet been assigned
for it. As well might the Creator
borrow sunlight with which to light
the universe.

Here ls good specimen OF party Berf-
dom. The National Democrat, the Off
cial Democratic party organ at Washing
ton, d. c., sends out the following parti-
san edlct to people whose chief ambition
In life is to wear o Democratic party
collar:
Let Democrats everywhere remember
that il is their duty as Democrats to hold
their opinion on all such questions % the
currency subject 10 the decision Of the next
Democratic convention, and then 90 in and
elect the man who Is nominated, whoever
that may be. That is genuine Democracy,
and that is the position Of the National
Democrat.
That may be genuine Democracy, but
it is very spurious patriotism and q
miserable standard Of citizenship. The
duty Of an intelligent voter Is to form
and adhere to his own convictions on the
currency question and bolt the platform

this point-that q law which confers
special benefits upon one class and
does not injure any other class can
not be termed class Legislation.
Mr.. Cooper calls attention to our
declaration Of purposes, one article Of
which is "equal rights to all and spe-
cial privileges TO none" This declar-
alton constitutes the very ground
floor Of the principle upon which we
base our demand for the sub-treasury
bill. Inasmuch as other classes are
favored with Legislation in their spe-
cial interest, we hold that farmers are
entitled to the same rights and privi-
leges. Any such Legislation relating
to other classes, no matter how much
it may favor them, if it works no in
jury to us, we have no cause to COM
plain Of il. So of the sub-treasury
bill-if the benefits il confers upon
the farmer cause no injury to any
body else, the bill cannot be denomi-
mated class legislation. We have al
ready shown that instead Of injuring
others, theprosperity that it will bring
to agriculture will be an inestimsble
benefit to every other class Of people
as we'll. We respectfully refer Mr..
Cooper, az we'll az our readers, to our
article in the issue Of April Is. MIR.
Cooper takes altogether too narrow q
view Of the effect OF this measure.
He assumes that it's benefits would be
limited entirely to what he terms che
few who are directly interested in
cotton, wheat, oats and corn. He en-
tirely overlooks the fact, everywhere
recognized and acknowledged, that
the prosperity Of agriculture under
lies all prosperity, and without it all
industries and all branches of bust
ness invariably lsngulsh. Depres-
sion of agriculture is responsible for
the frightful list Of business failures
all over this country to-day. Relieve
this depression and all branches OF
business will at once revive There
is no other industry on the face Of
the earth that is 80 intimately con-
nected with all others. It is sbso-
lutely the foundation upon which
they all rest. We should therefore
broaden our views upon this subject
and not regard q measure, which is
calculated to bring universal pros
perity as simply class remedy for
the sole benefit Of those who may
have agricultural products to dis
pose Of.
Mr.. Cooper's objection that such
measure would cause a fuctuation in
the currency is not we'll founded.
We now have fuctusting currency,
the volume of which is controlled in
the interest Of the spectators who
are gambling in farm products At
the harvest season when most money
is needed TO handle the crop, the vol
ume is contracted, thus deprecisting
the price. After the crop has passed

CAMDEN, August 27.-The Eastern Yacht
Club fleet did not reach this port, as was con-
fidently expected when the tug left them
yesterday afternoon and steamed for Rock
land. Lack of wind compelled the yachts to
anchor in Owls Head bay, and there the tug
found them late In the evening. This morn.
Ing they got under way for this port and
reached here about noon, after beat to
windward from Owls Head in a light east
erly breeze. No attempt was made to race
but some of the yachts cracked on sail and
made good time. Rear Commodore Hemen-
ways Chiquita was the first to arrive. while
the Mayfower led the schooners. The
weather was very bad when the fleet an
chored here, rainy and misty, so it was de-
cided to go no further until 1t cleared up.
The Thelma was spoken this morning but
did not join thefleet. She did not see the
signal to make the Shoals on Sundays run
and theresore went into Portland. After
waiting there As hours she went on to Bass
Harbor, and when spoken was on her way
to Boston. The misunderstanding was
most unfortunate one and her absence Is
greatly regretted. The next place made by
the fleet will probably be Bar Harbor. and
there they will disband. Some Of the yachts
will go east, while the racers return for the
clubs autumn regatta at Marblehead.
