France wins diplomatic victory in
its quarrel with Siam. But it is one of
those victories which are more discred-
liable to the conqueror than to the con-

be harder to go to war and lose the

MIR. BELLS PENSION.

Mr.. Assistant Pension Commissioner
BELL, who took pension of Si2 a
month because he had lost his teeth
which impaired his mastication. which
produced indigestion. which produced
gases, which pressed on his heart,
which made it fiutter, which made him
think it was diseased, who was getting
good salary and didn't have to depend
on manual labor for his living. had at
least the good grace to surrender his
pension as soon as RAUM'S Order 16I
was revoked. OF course he sho uld
have been manly and Soldierly and
Self-respectful enough never to have
asked the government to contribute TO
his support when he could support
himself just as thousands of the ''old
boys" are doing today, with anger in
their eyes and shame iD their hearts be-
cause there are SO many more thousands
who are not manly nor Soldierly nor
self respectful and who are abundantly
able to care for themselves, but stand
with outstretched hands taking the ma
tons dole of charity. Now let them
come up with surreDderS of their pen
sions as BELL has done and not stand
off and Sneer at him. AS the GLOBE
has often said: No pensions to the man,
woman or child who has means OF
support. and decent pensions to those
who have not and cannot labor to get
them.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND.
Regulate Silver. as All Other
Commodities


Commodities.
ST. PAUL. Mimi, Aug. u.-Editor of
the Globe: Owing to business depres-
sion, all eyes at this time are fixed on
congress in hope of obtaining relief,
and every American freethinker has
MS own ideas as to the solution of the
financial problem. 1t seems to me that
the only way for congress to do is 10 re-
peal the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man act. aud in lieu thereof pass an act
allowing any person who might be fort
innate enough to have 1000 ounces of
silver OF more to present it to the
United States mint and receive silver
certificates for it at the then market
value OF silver. If silver were then
worth twenty-five ounces for a
dollar, these certificates should be
issued accordingly. These certificates
should be redeemable ID silver only at
lts market value at the time of redemp-
ZION. All the Legislation in creation
will not keep the price of silver and
gold OIL an equal basis any more than il
would the price of wheat and corn.
Inc price is always regulated by the
supply and demand. Suppose mount
ain should be discovered which was 50
per cent gold, and gold became as
plentiful as iron, all the legislation in
world would not keep the price Of gold
at its present standard. All legislation
which attempts to fix the price of any
article of commerce, such as silver.
brass, ETC., in opposition to the price
which Is fixed by the inflexible law of
supply and demand, is foolish legisla-
ton, and will be Knocked at by all future
generations.
l am brother-in-law to farmer.
Suppose we farmers were to call great
congress of tillers of the soil and at
tempt to fix parity of price between
wheat and corn. and should solemn!y
resolve that hereafter two bushels of
corn should be worth one bushel of
wheat? All you wise newspaper men
and cute congressman would laugh at
us and say: well, old hayseeds, how
about the prices which are always gov
erned by the supply and demand?'
Your correspondent is personally ac-
quaInted with three silver mines whose
supplies seem ineXhdustible, and the
ore is over so per cent silver Just as it is
dug from the mines. The best presi-
dent of the United States is the one who
goes fishing the most and does least in
the way of interfering with business.
The safest legislation would be TO
provide for the repeal of the Sherman
law, and for the United States to issue
treasury notes redeemable in current
funds of the world. and then, i'll order
to foster the silver interest, allow the
treasury to purchase, at its market
value, and place in circulation at its
market value, as much silver as the
commerce of the country demanded.
Yours truly, w. ID. JOHNSON.

He is known to have had on his list be-

Truth About Silver.
Baltimore American.


Silver is today commercial commod-
ity, and it is impossible to arrange any
parity. as it is called, between it and
gold that will stand for a week. 1t is
more fluctuatlng in value than a num-
Der of the staples produced by the far
mer Flour commands a more steady
price than silver, but would any legisia-
tor who had the slightest regard for his
future career undertake to fix by law
the price of a barrel of flour? If congress
desires to give the people an object les
son, let it pass law calling in all the
one and twO-doIlar notes and provid-
ing that silver dollars shall be issued in
lieu of them. This would put in circu-
lation 70.000,0O0 of the 333, O00, 700 of
silver dollars now in the treasury, or a
little more than oDe-fifth. The people
would soon get practicalinsight into
the silver question that would do them
good. and they probably would not
again applaud any man or party that
sought to force more of it on them.
Practical illustrations in matter of
this kind are worth deal of incense
quential talk, for the most plausible
theories can lie built upon all sides of
financial question.
