CIRCULATE YOUR MONEY si,


 Many newspapers nowadays laud the man who keeps his money in cir culation. But how far does it circu- latey Until it reaches the man who locks it up. Then the others are without money.
 This talk about keeping money in circulation is all clap-trap. No sane man will put his money or his credit into goods that he has a doubt about selling. That is the great cause of the financial trouble. Manufacturers will not continue to turn out goods when they have had notice that their markets are to be diSarranged by in- tr0duCtiOn of goods from countries where the rates of interest and wages of labor are lower. When they stop turning out goods their operatives no longer have money to buy such goods as they consume. With that source of business reduced or cut off, the merchants supplying them are obliged to contract the volume of their bus mess. and those who sold to them find their business shrinking. All these shrinkages in turn cut of the markets of other tradesmen and pro ducers. and the panic extends.
 And it is mighty poor philosophy to talk about keeping money in circula- tion." Money in circulation is q small part of the operation of the business world. It is the credit risked that makes up the great volume of trans actions in the business world. And when men refuse to risk that, await ing the tampering with business aff- airs by theorists and small politicians, panic and commercial disaster are bound to ensue: for many who have risked credit get caught out and find themselves unable to pay.

At the instance of the president the commissioner of pensions has made q new ruling by which pensions are not to be suspended during investigation. This is as it should be and Mir. Cleye- land should be commended for his present position in the matter. The wrongfuliy suspended pensions should now be restored. But that will not restore the life and dethroned reason of several who have suffered.

SILLY TALK

Recent cyclones have swept the At lantic coast, destroyed thousands of dollars worth of property and plunged hundreds of families in mourning. Silly newspapers have declared it a visitation of Providence for the re- peal of the Sherman act in the house, and one blatant fool went so far as to express a regret that the hurricane had not destroyed Gray Gables, at Buzzard's Bay, and swept President Cleveland away. No condemnation can be too severe for such expressions. Mir. Cleveland is president of the Unit cd States, and tohis position is due de- cent respect and honor If does not help the cause of those who oppose his policy to level at him expressions so nnkind and brutal. TIE OASIS has no regard for MT. Cleveland nor his policy. and it is not an apologisi for either: but in holds in adherence those who must be indecent and bru- tai when opposing him. It sounds too much like the ribaldry and abuse that was showered upon President Lincoln when he was carrying upon his own shoulders the burden of the nations woes and misfortunes. While we believe President Cleveland is wrong now. as We believed President Lincoln was right then, it is as plain ly apparent that he is the representa- tive of policy that is not limited by one life, and hat would be continued with the death of Mr. Cleveland. vice President Stevenson and all the cab inet. Ii is the course of policy of a great section of the country, with its advocates holding strong following in all other sections While We be- tieye that policy wrong, we believe the only way to combat 1t is by argu- meut and persuasion. The policy op- posed bi-metallism cannot die, and in the end is sure to prevail. The business world cannot long exist with out it: and that truth is beginning to be felt and acknowledged, even in the strongh0lds of gold mon0metailism.

A CURIOUS ANOMALY.

Last week ii was stated that the conspiracy ease of the Toledo, Ann Arbor, and North Michigan railroad against Chief Arthur, of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers. had been settled by Arthur paying the railroad company S3.500 The suit thus compromised grew out of the strike on the road last winter and spring. As the supreme head of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers Arthur ordered the strike and con- ducted it in person. The railway company sued for damages. The case was of more than ordinary interest, for it involved practically the right of organized labor to organize and con duct strikes. While that right may be conceded, it would be practically nulliiied, for if the leaders in any strike can be made to pay the dam ages resulting therefrom, no one will want to assume such responsibility; and trades unions would fall to pieces as useless and incapable of achieving the ends for which they were institut- ed.
 Itis matter of surprise that the brotherhood should have ccmpromis- ed the case: for they surely could see that by such course they have vol untarily abandoned their best posi- tion, which, if they hope to survive. they should do only under decree of the highest courts fin the land.
 There is something very peculiar in the phases the labor question is as- suming in the United States. If this is q tree country-as we SO proudly boast labor surely has a right toor- ganize for self protection. just as cap ital has right to organize to extend it's operations. When capitalists get together and conspire to reduce the wages of labor and cocrce workers in- Co acceptance, nothing is said against ii: but when laborers get together and conspire to keep up wages and coercc capital into making concessions. the laws against conspiracy take hold of them. Surely this is an anomalous condition of affairs.
 Yet this anomaly has its foundation in our systems of government aud jurisprudence. The government of the Uaited States was founded on the proposition that all men are created equal and that the rights of indyiid- uals are above the rights ofproperty in contradistinction to the theory of the British government, that proper ty rights are paramount. But after creating government upon the the ors Of individual rights, the fathers, by establishing the English common law as the ruleand guide the courts, decreed that the system of jurlspru- dence in the new government should be based upon the other theory the paramOuncy of property rights. It iS this anomaly in the very framing of the government of the United States, and the various states. that causes the anomaly indicated in the treatment Of the labor question. The country Is cndeayoring to steer by two stars in- stead of one, and in the effort il very frequently presents some ridiculous situations

A CHANCE FOR THE NATIVES.

This is a time when the natives,
freeing themselves from the control Of
white demagogues and adventures,
ought to be up and doing in their own
political behalf As We pointed out
the other day, their sole remaining
choice is annexation--the latter imply
ing a maintenance of the status quo
until annexation may be more readily
brought about. II they continue, as
many of them have, to uphold the bier
of the monarchy in the belief that the
corpse laid upon 1t can be revived, they
may find themselves, later on, in a
political pilkia. A protectorate would
leave the question of their suffrage to
the decision of the Provisional Govern
ment, the plans of which they had in
terfered with and delayed, How would
they be likely to fare then? But if
they should now turn in for annexation,
byoviding they 5oere granted the same
political rights that their z0hite neigh
bors might come to enjoy the union Of
these Islands with America would be
brought about within six months, and
they, as instruments Of the change,
would gain a political influence which
they never dreamed of under the old

FAILURE OF THE FAIR.

The statement coming from a Chi
cago editor that his city has been nearly
beggared by the fair, but would rise
above this disaster as it had from the
ashes of the fire, has curious sound.
1t was not many months ago that the
same journalist was leaving no stone
unturned to bring the Columbian she W
to the banks of Lake Michigan, and if
anyone had ventured to predict then
that this same enthusiast would find
occasion to class the fair among Chi
cago's great calamities he would have
been regarded as fit subject for patho-
logical inquiry. And yet August had
not passed off the calendar before this
testimony dropped from his lips some.
what as matter of course.
The lesson taught by the failure Of
the exposition to pay its cost is that a
worlds fair should be held at world S
capital and not in any place of second
airy fame and importance, and at nc
great distance from the seaboards
There would be no vital interest to an
American in a French fair, however at
tractiye of itself, which had been located
in Lyons or Amiens. He would say t.,
himself that, if the exhibits were really
to be made on a colossal scalt, they
would have been installed in Paris. A
Neopolitan fair would NOT attract
foreigners like one in Rome and as
for an English exposition, the expert
ment of putting it at Manchester would
result in the attendance being confined
in a large degree, to the people OF the
vicinage-and all this without regard
to the cost and splendor of the show,
The average European knows New
York as one of the great cities of the
world and as the real capital Of the
United States. He is aware that it is
accessible by steamship and involves
no land travel to reach it. A fair there

OF Chicago he knows little. He never
saw ship or steamer with its name on
the stern and his ideas Of the magnitude
and position of the place are confused.
To find Chicago he would have to risk
the vicissitudes Of a thousand miles of
railway travel in far country-and so
he stays at home.
