SENATORIAL WOOL GATHER
ING.

EMERSON somewhere wisely cautions
men against speech, because of the &C
curate measure it gives the world with
which to take their mental stature. Of
all OF the senators at this special session
who have disregarded this injunction of
the Sage of Concord none has suffered
more than has Senator VANCE, of
North Carolina. His exterior when wrapt
in silence indicates a wise statesman,
with breadth Of view, and soundness of
Judgment, drawing from all sources the
facts which are the foundation of his
opinion; speaking, this impression
vanishes and leaves him a mere
putterer, as blind to the bearing and
relations of economic facts as any
''wild ass of the prairies" who ever
broke into Minnesota legislature.
Having observed in his experience
that when money is plenty prices are
high, and that when money IS scarce
prices are low, he draws from this the
utterly illogical and the unrelated con-
clusion, that it is the duty of the federal
government to supply the people with an
abundance Of money so that perpetual
prosperity may be assured to them,
and for this reason. and because the
SHERMAN purchase act increase the cur
rency of the country, he opposes its re-
peal
The senator generalizes with an easy
superficiaIity. He ignores the economic
law demonstrated by the experience of
many states, that excess of money be-
comes destructive of wealth. just as ex-
cess of any other good thing of this
world becomes destructive Apoplexy
strikes fatal blow at the man whose
arteries and veins are surcharged with
blood; the penalty of death attends the
indulgence of the glutton. All of the
forces of nature which man mas har-
messed 10 the wheels of industry are
useful servants when used in proper
quantities, but become merciIeSs mas
tiers when used in excess.
We have heard ad nauseam, the de-
nunciations of the money power by
blatant demagOgues. anxious only to
build pedestals for themselves of the
ignorant preJudiceS of men. We have
had dissertations on the power of
money from ali of its many points OF
view. The world has recently witnessed
i'll the ArgentineS, in Australia, and in
this country exhibitions of the destruc-
tive power of money, a power not
sufficiently recognized by those who
treat of that subject. The ex-
cessive supply of what passed for
money in the Argentines, the excess
iGsAlaniily of gold which was poured

"A STARTLING SUGGESTION.

Proposition to Have the Freight
Rates on Coal Reduced.
To the Editor of the Globe 4,y..it
In the absence of. any other employ
ment for the railroad and warehouse
commission, would it not be good plan
for that body to set itself the task of
ascertaining the exact difference in
weight between ton of hard coal and a
ton of soft coal, the information thus
CLEANED to be furnished the roads haul
ing coal from Duluth to st. Paul and
Minneapolis? The poor people who
use coal to warm themselves
buy hard coal, while the great
concerns use the bituminous /. arti-
Gle. Now if one ton is no heavier, than
the other, why should the RAILROADS
charge S1-50 ton for hauling hard coal
and 81 ton for soft coal? And if they
have to proceed on the soc-et-tu-um
theory, why don't they give the poor
people the benefit of the SO cents differ
ence? or course. it has come 10 be I'M
derstood in Minnesota that rail
road companies are superior to
and above the operation Of COM
mon law. and the railroad COM
mission is SO called because railroad
is the only thing it stands in dread of /;
but if the people would approach the
railroads on this subject in proper
spirit of humility and submission, it is
just possible that some results might
follow. The state and national admin
istrations have spoken OH the subject of
the coal combine. SO has Ignatius DON
nelly. So has the coal combine. But
the aforementioned seems TO be the only
one that spoke loud enough to be heard.
Silver and gold have fluctuated until
the parity has almost been lost; con-
greSs has talked itself black in the face
trying to mend the financial situation,
ana the senate has, tiguratiyely speak
ing, eXpectorated upon its hands and
tackled the same subject. Still the
painful reflection forces itself upon us
that it takes about eighteen bushels of
wheat to buy ton of coal. And we
haven't got the wheat. Will not the
GLOBE, in its goodness of heart,
kind of saunter up to the rail-
road Office some day, just after
it thinks the president has had a
good dinner, and see if it cannot pre-
vail ON the souiless corporation to knock
off two bits ton on the transportation?
You see, that's the only argument the
coal men have. They say it costs them
so much for freight. OF course [ would
not be so rude as to ask state officials to
break off their friendly relations with
the railroads, or do anything rash: but,
really. think they might 90 and argue
with them little, purely i'll spirit of
Christian charity.

DEATH OF HAMILTON FISH

The death OF Hon. HAMILTON FISH,
which is chronicled in this mornings
dispatches, is an event sincerely to be
age. and for the great part of his life
had been largely in the public gaze, and
in every line of official duty he acQuit-
ted himself with ability if not with
brilliancy. 1t was natural that in the
senate he should suffer by comparison
with his predecessor, DANIEL. S. DICK.
INsON. one of the most accomplished
orators of the century, yet Mr.. FISH
was far better learned and more highly
accomplished in everything save the
gift of oratory. He was, indeed, one of
the most scholarly men who has ever
graced public Office IN the United
States.
AS secretary of state during Gen.
GRANTS two terms Mr.. FISH was an
undoubted success. He was of diplo-
matte bent, and his polished address
and suaye manner contributed to make
of him an ideal foreign minister. Our
diplomatic service was greatly i'm
proved under his supervision. He intro
duced a system of examinations of ap-
plicants for positions as cOnsuls which
resulted in securing a better class Of
men than had previously filled those
offices. AS the leading commissioner
on the part of the United States to ne
gotiate the treaty of Washington touch
ing indemnity from Great Britain for
the depredations of Confederate cruisers,
Mr.. FISH demonstrated his ability to
cope with the best trained diplomats of
Europe. and tue success of our govern
ment in that negotiation was largely due
to his efforts. The decision of the court
of arbitration was not as important be-
cause of the amount of the award
secured as it was in settling the re-
sponsibllity of government for The acts
of cruisers fitted out i'll its ports to prev
upon the commerce of friendly nation.
liz his conduct of the Firginus case
MIR. FISH was subjected to much crit
icism. His acceptance of a money in
demnity for outrages that should, per-
haps, have been avenged with blood
was denounced as cowardly, yet there is
no doubt but bis action prevented war
with Spain that might, IN the then I'M
prepared condition of the country for
naval warfare. have resulted i'll pro-
tracted and costly conflict whose final
result might have proved DISASTROUS.
OF the talents CT Mr.. FISH there can
be no question. He was naturally ean.

into the industries of Australia. and
the excessive quantity of money and
representatives OF money with which
this country has been supplied, were
the direct and Immediate causes of the
commercial disasters which have over
taken them all. Other causes have
been, in minor degree, contributing
to the final result. but the disaSter'in
each of these countries is to be traced
directly to an excess OF money or its
representatives. 3ef
Money is the life blood of industry,
which circulateS through all of itslchan-
nels, vitalizing its energies. When the
proportion between the productive in
dustries of country and the money
used in them is well balanced, when
there is neither too much nor too little
money, trade is in healthy and pros
porous condition, just as man is in
a vigorous and healthy condition
when there is neither excess nor
scarcity of blood in his body.
Ii more money is in circulation than
the industries of the country can legit-
Imately utilize, the material for COM
mercial fever is provided, which takes
the form of speculation, which runs its
mad course to destruction. 1t clogs
and congests those hearts of industry,
the banks, and they in turn make every
effort to force it out into the channels of
trade. AS the congestion increases,
prudence in investment diminishes, and
yields to the lures of high profits offered
by speculative schemes. This finally
eliminates in Il financial crisis, which
carries down fictitious, and crIpples and
destroys actual wealth.
The experience of Australia is valu-
able as showing that the effect of al ex-
cessive supply of money is the same
whether that money is gold or paper
money. In either case it produces
speculative spirit which runs with ever
increasing volume until it reaches the
point of sudden and calamitous collapse.
The lesson the country needs to learn,
and none in it more than those who are
clamoring for an increased circulation,
is the destructive power of money
when supplied in excess of the actual
needs of trade and commerce. 1t is the
lesson that this financial crisis teaches
us, as all other similar panicS have
taught mankind.

BUY AT HOME.

The GLOBE this morning calls the es-
peciai attention. of the public to the
"open letter" OF the boot and shoe man
ufacturerS of st. Paul and Minneapolis.
The question presented to our people
is practical business one. The public
are. as matter of necessity, compelled
to purchase foot wear. Will the public
purchase the home manufacture at as
low price, quality considered, as the
Eastern product, and thus enable our
manufacturers to give employment to
several thousand of our own peopleP
There should be no question on such
a proposition. We can paraphrase the
trite saying, Charity begins at home,"
by saying. Business begins at home.''
Given an equal quality of goods and as
low price, why should not the people
of the Northwest give the preference to
sustain our home product?
The ''open letter" on the second page
is absolutely unanswerable, and, as q
matter of business, purely, should bear
fruit.

GOING TO PIECES.

There is no surer indication that a
political organization has entered the
period of decay aud dissolution than
when it begins to sprout new organiza-
tons. The Free Sellers came out of
the Democratic party in the forties pre-
ceding its overthrow. The Wing party
gave off the Knownothings and the Lib
erty and the Republican organisms be-
fore it finally dissolved. The Prohib-
itioniSts were the first ''come-outers"
from the Republican party, and have
been followed by the Alliance and the
PopuliSts.
In Iowa the disintegration has evolved
yet another party, the Citizens Prohib-
ition. In Colorado the Republican
state committee is called together to
consider the proposition to strike out
for new party favoring free trade,
free ships, free coinage, free banks and
other forms of freedom. Senator VOL
coTT warns his fellow Republican sen
ators that if they pass the repeal bill
81 know no reason why any senator
who believes in free coinage should
ever cast vote in favor of protection
in any FORM" TN the light Of the pro-
prosed policy bounties are Ubiquitous,
protection an oppression and free ship
desirable"
In addition to these indications is the
unnoted but widespread transference
of individuals to the Democratic ranks,
movement by no means limited to the
campaign of 1892. AS it is composed of
thoughtful men, more anxious for good
government than for party success, men
who have come to see in the schemes of
the Populists nothing new. but only a
legitimate and logical advancing appli-
cation of the doctrines of their own
party, aud who, discovering its tenden-
cies, would retrace their steps, this
movement is undeIerred by this silly
attempt to connect the Democratic adj
ministratiOn with the financial panic.
These men are too intelligent to be thus
befooled. All these are indications that
the Republican party has outliyed its
usefulness and is rapidly disintegrating.

sHERMAN.s OPPORTUNITY.
He Has Another Chance to Do
Some Explaining.

Some Explaining.
To the Editor of the Globe.
The Pioneer Press of Tuesday saws
in an editorial. under head Smoking
Them Out" some very trite things
about the false arguments used by SEN
ators from the silver states upon the
silver question, and gives us the in-
formation that John Sherman acted as
chief smoker, all of which was good.
Monday the Pioneer had good edi-
torial upon the Nicaragua canal. in which
it also did some smoking in the right
direction, but did not go far enough.
The main points which it made were
that the United States came very near
being saddled with the debts of this de-
funct concern 10 the amount OF $780,
100000 and interest; that this burden
would have come upon us now, during
a time of depression, and that this canal
scheme was q dishonest scheme from
the start.
1t fails to say that Arthur sent to
the senate Dec. 10, 1884, treaty with
Nicaragua concerning this canal for
ratification, which treaty Cleveland
very promptly withdrew from the SEN
ate (the first week he was in power).
1t fails to say that John Sherman adj

his fellow senators. and before the pub
lie more generally by articles liz the
Forum Magazine.
And now, as this canal company has
laid down, and all opportunity TO float
this scheme is at an end, cannot John
Sherman be induced to give us another
article in the Forum upon the Mic
aragua canal, stating clearly all the in
side facts; and. if the. review puts him
in penitential mood, he can steal
awhile away from every numbering care
and read the twenty-second verse of the
sixth chapter of Second Chronicles,
which commences, .'If a mon sin against
his brother, etc." and there find a di-
vine remedy which tue people of this
nation will indOrse. Respect fully,
