US, but it no doubt has prominent
place in the report of that committee.
That a convention will soon meet in
st. Paul composed of delegates from all
the states bordering on our northern
neighbor's dominions to advocate greater
freedom OF trade with Canada, and
that boards of trade and chambers OF
commerce are discussing the meeting
and its objects, is fact of more than
local significance 1t betokens the great
and rapid growth of the opinion among
business men, rarely swayed by mere
sentiment, never in business matters,
that laws which restrict trade are wrong
in principle and vicious in operation.
Hindering the free exchange of prod
ucts, they hinder develop ment; cripple
the motive force Of growth and pros
perijy. They are to trade what the
shoes are to the feet of the Chinese
women, stopping growth and causing
distortion. They are akin to the proc
ess of stunning the growth of trees by
cutting off the roots which are reach
ing out into the surrounding ground
for sustenance for the grand trunk they
are building. The GLOBE, believing
not only in the policy but in the fight
of the utmost freedom of trade, well
comes the coming conventions land hopes
that its voice will DE for commercial
freedom with our brethren of the North.

But there was zoo much water. Bust
ness needs cash, and the Cordage was
short of it. So its directors put out
S2,500,00 more preferred stock ON the
market. This bred distrust, which
grew into panic, and the stock went
slumping down on the boards, and
brokers closed out their holdings, and
the company's officers rushed off to
court and had a receiver appointed.

performers. 1t was returned to the
manufacturer by the performer, with a
note stating that it was one of the finest
instruments she had ever touched. but
that she could not keep it, as her en-
ployer would not permit the goods of
this concern to be used.
Thus, it appears. our great performers
are lending themselves to money power.
This tendency can only prevent the
greatest development possible Of the.
musical art. The piano company uses
the genius of PADEREWsKI to keep down
rivalry in the manufacture of superior
pianos; and so other musical companies
use THOMAS. 1t is much to be re
GREETED that geniuSes like these should,
lend themselves to such uses. While
the instrument used by PADEREwsKI is
undoubtedly an excellent piano, and
possibly the best, other companies
should be encouraged to try to make
still better ones; that is, rivalry in the
matter of excellence should be pro-
NOTED.

KNUTE'S LITTLE BILL.
Mr.. Owen Rips 1t Up the Back
Once for Luck.


Farm, Stock and Home
The new Minnesota grain law, which
subjects to state supervision and con-
troll the selling of every bushel of wheat.
and deprives the little farmers ware
house, of its former liberty, seems to
be founded on the theory that the chief
villain in wheat buying is the local ele-
vatOr man. 1t assumes that all the
farmer has complained of heretofore
was the tricks OF the local elevator man,
|. or his poor judgment y in grading and
docking. This being tbs basic idea of
the law. it is no wonder its enactment
was resisted by every legislator who
understood the real system of grain
buying i'll the state. nor is it surprising
that the laws passage through the legis-
lature had to be facilitated by executive
interference and dictation. The local
elevator man has been, is-2nd will be
clay in the hands of the potter. He is
the servant of the combine. the list"
maker, the price maker, the dictator of
local inspection. Under the new law
the local elevator will receive, as be-
fore. its daily orders to pay a stated
price for wheat, and that price will be
relatively uniform in the entire North
west. The element of competition in
selling wheat, that the grover has been
praying for, is not only unrecognized,
but is absolutely annihilated by the
new law. The fundamental evil of the
existing system is unsSsailed; local i'm
potency, if not Innocence. is made to
assume the mask of guilt, and laws
thunderboltS are hurled at its harmless
head, Whereat the guilty smile and com
piacently pocket their excessive profits

THE CoRDAGE TRUST.

No one will regret the smash of the
National Cordage Trust, which went into
the receivers hands yesterday, except
the poor lambs who have bought the
stock and have been sheared of their
Investments. They will weep while all
others rejoice. 1t was the product of
this paternalism which, beginning with
protective tariff, has legitimately and log
ically developed into the modern trust.
inevitably men came to think that, if
projection from outside competition was
good and laudable thing, protection
from the inside was just as good and
pralseworthy. The result is the trust,
with its absolute ownership and COM
mand of industries, smothering competi-
ton and monopolizing the line of in.
dustry on which 1t operates.
The Cordage followed the usual
course. 1t offered to buy factories at
double their value, Issuing stock in the

CAPTURED BY PELF.

PADEREwSKI and THEODORE THoM-
AS have beittled themselves very much
by the course they have pursued con-
corning the worlds fair. The former
was, as stated, employed by. a
certain piano company to play only
upon its pianos and recommend
them as the best made. The
company became offended because the
management of the fair would not give
its goods the preference in position
over others, and declined to make an ex-
hibit. PADEREWsKI would not play at
the fair unless upon this piano. At
length the public demanded so strongly
that he should be heard at the fair that
the management compromised by per-
hitting him to play upon this piano,
which was changed little to suit his
liking. Naturally, permitting the use
of a piano of non-exhibiting company
caused feeling among the piano COM
panies which have paid for space for
their goods. PADEREwsKI has not
come out of the affair with flying colors.
The position of THEODORE THOMAS
is even worse. 1t seems that he, while
not supposed to be in the employ OF any
manufacturer of musical instruments,
will permit his orchestra performers to
play only upon instruments made by
certain firms. Recently a manufact-
urer of harps, who is an exhibitor at the
fair, presented harp to one of THOMAS

1t is suggested that Col. Lowry might run
the Stryker avenue extension very cheaply
just now by putting on several row boats. ~.
While the chief of police and his able as,
sistant are taking all the credit for the re,
capture OF HornsDy, the part played in the
affair by the efficient clerk to the chief is en-.
tirely overlooked. This is not right, for with
out the telephoning which was done BY
Clerk Lorenz alone and uuaided, it is a cues,
ton whether the prisoner would have been
recaptured.

AMONG REFORMERs.

The two last monthly reports of the police
department do not contain figures showing
the amount of stolen property recovered. 1t
is readily understood why the amount of
property stolen is not given in the reports,
but the absence of any statement as to the
property recovered would lead the public to
think the department had gone out of bust
ness

reported as being forninst the street railway

"MAKING" MONEY.

To the Editor of the Globe.
You stated recently that our government
had no right to make money. Do you mean
to be understood that underline authority TO
coin money and regulate the value thereof
1t is debarred. by these words in the constitu-
ton, to purchase the metal and to let private
persons make the enormous gain in copper
or nickel coins, as well as silver? Can you
inform us how this coinage business is regu-
lated Ia other countries? One never hears
of such thing as free coinage except in our
own country. CD.
The subsidiary coins. like our half and
quarter-dOIlarS, our nickelS and cents,
are not money" They are tokens
coined to facilitate the exchanges Of
commodities and for general conven-
fence. with little reference to value.
Recognition of this is made in the limit
placed on the amounts in which they
may be rendered in payment of debts.
Any law making any money, or repre-
sentative Of money. either a full or a
limited legal tender is public acknoWl-
edgment that the money" is not
money. If it were, it would need no
such backing; the stamp would be a
certificate merely that the coin has the
value expressed on it. The gold coins
are made legal tender. but the pro-
vision is superfluouS. The stamp OH
them is accepted everywhere that there
is in each coin the intrinsic value stated
On its face.
The federal government is given the
exclusive right to coin money and to
regulate its value. This does not mean,
as some contend, that the government
can stamp disc Of metal without refer
ence to the value of the metal in ii, and
give it the value named on it. 1t can
not, for instance. give to Ga cents worth
of fine silver the value of 100 cents by
merely stamping it lone dollar" There
was school in this country few years
ago which seriously maintained that
the government by its simple fiat could
impart to paper whatever value it might
imprint upon it. 1t is in this sense that
the GLOBE said that the government
cannot make" money.
The GLOBE believes that no govern
meDt has any other function In coming
money and regulating the value thereof
than to determine what metals shall be-
used as coins; to ascertain by COM
parison Of prices. as established in the,
commercial world, their relative values,
and, adopting the ratios thus fixed, reg
ulate the values of the various coins it
puts out, so that they shall be convert
IDLE. Under the present conditions of
difference in the value Of the two coin-n
age metals, gold and silver, the govern
ment should institute an inquiry to de-
termine whether the huctuation is due
to the appreciation of gold. as one class,
maintain. or to the depreciation of sill
yer, as claimed by another. II 1t be de-
cided that gold has increased. then the
number Of grains in the coins should be
diminished. If 1t is found that silver
has decreased, then the number of
grains in the dollar should be increased.
