IL IL a singular fact that the French,
who surpassed the English IN North
America in dealing with the American
Indian; in Algiers and Senegal in dealing
with the African, seem TO have always
failed in dealing with the Asiatlc races OF
Hindestan. China and Siam. The French
had fair start once with the English for
the supremacy in India. but the English
under Give and coote soon destroyed the
work Of Duplex and Lally. The French
in Tonquin soon came into collision with
China and were glad 10 conclude q rather
inglorious peace. and today France is pur-
suing policy OF aggression and ABSORPTION
against Siam that Is likely to prove dis
astrons.
The conduct Of France toward Siam has
no more justification on the principles of
international morality and justice than
had the partition OF Poland between prus-
Ella. Russia and Austria, or the seizure OF
the throne of Spain by Napoleon the
Great, little more than thirty years ago
the French established themselves in
AMMAN. and between 1890 and 1885 at
tackled and absorbed AMMAN, Cochin
China, csmhodia and Tenquin. Mex. the
French laid claim 20 tie territory lying
between AMMAN and the leiG bank of the
MskonE river. territory that had been con-
quered by Siam over 100 years ago and
ever since remained under her Iurisdie-
ton. The historical claim of the French
60 this territory was as utterly absurd as II
Mexico should claim California and Texas
today because shey had once been included
within the bounds Of Mexico.
II Mexico was relatively as much stronger
than the United States as France Is than
Siam. Mexico would by brute force compel
IA 20 surrender Texas and California de-

Fruits OF Enterprise and self-Reriance.


New York Mail and Express, Sept 6. Editorial
1t has been noticed that, in spite of the
depression of the present'year, the cities on
the Pacific coast have stood up remark
ably we'll. After the first storm of finan-
cial disturbance had passed, the Coast
cities seemed TO show striking recupera-
tive strength. the result. no doubt, OF the
Characteristic energy and enterprise of
their people. Among the articles placed
in the corner stone of a new church at Sc
attic last week was blank book with this
inscription: Seattle has twenty-one
banks. with capital ranging from $50. 900
to $500. 600, and has never had bank fail
ure; neither has there been q commercial
disaster of any sort in Seattle as a result
OF the panic of 1893" In addition TO the
entire absence of hank and business fail
uTes ia Seattle. one of the leading banks
of that city several weeks ago, during the
darkest days of the depression, increased
its paid-up capital stock from $500, 900 TO
$3.50 coo, and the new stock was subscribed
instantly when offered No other
bank in the United States has
increased its capital during the present
period Of depression. Such an achieve
ment Is an object lesson worthy of emuIa-
ton by many older and more populous
communities. IL teaches the advantages
OF unity of action. and in this case was
the direct result Of civic pride. backed by
able and conservative management of the
financial Institutions. knowing that the
banks were secure and would stand to-
gether like \ stone wall, the mass OF their
depo$itors stood ut their backs. As . re-
suit, the hanks OF Seattle have met every
demand with legal currency. Seattle has
survived railroad depression. prospered
under a conaagrstion that DESTROYED the
entire business portion OF the city, and
nos has population OF g. 600, and is one
OF tue finest cities in the land Such are
the fruits Of enterprise. selfrslianee. unity
and civic pride.

This surrender gave France 400 square
miles Of sisfnese territory. and II planted
the French 1t Laang Prabang. the strate-
&c center Of the Upper Aekong basin.
The French forced Siam 70 cede their
southern part Of Chantiboon and prnhib-
tied her from keeping either armed vessels
on the Mekong and on the Tale sap or
Great Lake, or military forces within
certain distance OF their own bank OF the
Aekong and in the provinces adjoining
the lake.
France TINS e1torted from Siam 500, GO
money damages and annexed 7o.Oo0 square
miles Of its territory. France has since
declined 10 abide BY the acceptance OF her
uItImatarn aud insists on further con-
cessions which. IL granted, mean the crea-
whole OF siam. After Siam had paid the
100000 francs damages the French re-
fused TO Withdraw from district on the
right bank Of the river which they had
seized oy way Of security for slams full
fiilment of her obligations. The French
minister at Bangkok demanded that the
Sianess government. should pledge Itself
that al future concessions for roads, rail-
ways. canals and other public works on
the right bank OF the Mekong should be
given exclusively 10 F-enchmen. He fur
Their insisted that all foreigners serving in
the sismese navy should DO Immediately
dismissed.
OF course this would render the Siamese
navy worthless, and the enforcement Of
this new French uitimatum means prac-
ticaIly French protec.orate at Bangkok.
England cannot openly interfere. for the
French have not violated their agreement
TO not 70 interfere with British interests
on the upper Mekong. but England can
coversly attack France through China.
Siam is q tributary state of China, and
China has right to resist the attack of
the French npon her yassal kingdom If
China decides TO defend Siam, England
will not permit France to lombard the
great seaports OF China. and it is quite
possible that England and France may
yet go to wa- over Siam.

THE ACT OF 1873.

Henri Cernuschi. distinguished Euro
pean bi-metallist. in his Monetary
Diplomacy denounced our Bland Allison
act OF 1873 on the ground that we were
right in 1873, when We demonetized silver.
as only by this course could We have
avoided what France escaped when she
circumvented Germany.
Germany after the collection of the great
war indemnity from France thought
she was IN position to follow
the example of England and go to
the single gold standard. She had
an enormous quantity of silver to sell, but
she expected TO clear her silver through
the minis of France, which was then free
silver coinage. To quote Cernushi:
''soetbeer. Germany's great financial
authority, expected 20 do this. III. Soet-
beer does not ask for mono-metallism to
become general. He is anxious that
France and the United States should issue
bi-metallic money. But we wished to hear
him visit two years ago at Gottingen.
Germany had calculated, he told US, that
the coinage of silver would remain free at
Paris and that she could then get oil her
silver coined into 5-franc pieces, then ex-
change the silver francs for gold francs,
and lastly mint the gold francs into marks.
The demonstration thus effected would
have cost little or nothing-but behold
France coins no more silver. Ii Is
treacheryi he exclaimed. Germany, how
every, is pledged; she will shrink from no
sacrifice"
Suppose, however. that Germany had
caught the United States in 1s73-ls7s with
free silver coinage. rs would have been the
case had not the act of 1873 been passed,
she could have coined all her silver bullion
into American silver dollars and exchanged
them for gold, and accomplished through
our minis what she expected 10 accom-
plish through the minis OF France.
France defeated Germany by closing her
minis to the coinage of silver, and the
United States defeated Germany by clos
ing her minis 10 the coinage of silver In
1878 and keeping them closed until Febru-
airy. 1919
Had it not been tor the act of 1873 Ger
many would have marketed at our minis
the vast amount of silver bullion she ex-
pected TO market at the minis Of France,
bat was defeated by the closing OF the
French mint to silver coinage.
