countries Zone half of the coffee ex-
cepted) would be purchased in the us.
and returned in manufactured articles.
The u. S. had in 1890 an unfavOrable
trade balance with these Republics of
over $62,OOO,OOO. Had she obtained the
entire trade with said countries, had
she taken the whole of their exports
and supplied them with their imports,
she would have had an unfavOrable
balance of but $50, 600, 900; or differ
ence of less than $2,OOO,OOO would re-
suit from securing an Increment to
their trade of more than $772,OOO,OOO.
The Latin Americas would, no
doubt, sell small portion OF their
products in European countries, which
would assist them in meeting their
present obligations. If silver coin
should become too abundant in any OF
the countries the mint charges would
have simply to be increased, and the
bullion would then go to another for
coinage. The Us and Mexico to-
gether furnish over five sixths of the
silver produced in the Americas. Un-
der this arrangement a large portion OF
their bullion would go to the other
Republics to be coined, as the latter
lack the necessary specie to conduct
their business upon the basis indicated.
1t would perhaps be advisable that no
general recoinage of the specie should
be made at once, as it would bring
about a sudden change Of prices, but
only sufficient amount to meet the
requirements of trade with such addi-
tions from time to time as the clearing
house adjustment night demand. This
arrangement would bring silver into
general use, displacing in South Amer.
lea the paper so extensively used and
so harmful to trade; because OF the
ease by which it may be created or
repudated. Business would be madeY
possible and be affected less by changes
of administration. A Union OF these
countries, which supply every product
known to human wants, could stand
alone without the assistance OF Europe;
why do they not combine and do so?
If the trade of these countries can
command it's price for merchandise it
can for it's silver, Europe cannot sup
port herself without the agricultural
products of these countries; let her
starve for few years and she would
be willing to join with the American
Republics, although the corner stone OF
their faith were the maintenance OF a
relation between silver and gold. May
the high politicians of these Repub-
lies seize the time and opportunity to
effect such a Union against their
common enemy who is endeavOring
to crush them by Systematically in
creasing their Indebtedness by de-
probation of their currency. Let the
American Republics form such a
Union and the days of financial panic
will be at an end, as all countries,
would unite in recognizing common
yard stick by which to measure values,
yard-stick not monopolized by one
country and subject to the thermal
influences to which they may see fit
to subject it, but one protected and
supported by the whole world.

the time the danger that other peo-
ole will do the same thing from
less generous motives. 1t runs in
the human system to ALWAYS lind
justification for itself. 1t is simply
astonishing what offenses one is al
ways anxious to commit in order
that another may not suffer the
disgrace of them; and it is still
more wonderful that that thing
which we do, no matter how ques-
tionable, is justified on moral
grounds, while the same thing Gone
by any one else is unmitigated
wickedness. But the point: vi
late years it has become quite the
proper thing to roundly abuse and
denounce the bankers of the coun'
try. Sometimes, because by care
less loaning aud over-speculatlon
they jeopardise the interests OF
depositors and occasionally ruin
them. When this was the cause
of complaint, we all raised up and
demanded more stringent laws, re-
curing the bankers to hold greater
reserves. That struck us as wise
and cautious demand. Lately,
however, we hear an altogether op-
posite complaint, as imperative
and unrelenting as the first. Now,
the banks are denounced because
they do not loan money with sufh-
Gent carelessness and do not
speculate overmuch. This suggests
an impudent thought. Is it not
barely possible that the animus
reposes in a desire on the part OF
every man to regulate every other
mans business? In other words,
after an individual has amassed
sufficient wealth to open banking
house, every other individual feels
aggrieved because liberal pbilan-
thropist, like himself, is not made
sole director. At any rate, we
can't quite see the justice of de-
nolncing the bankers, because, If
the bankers were not in the bust
ness the the reformists would be,
and the only discernible difference
would consist in the fact that the
reformist would claim that he was
driven to it by necessity while the
banker admits that with him it is
a matter of choice. When man
is robbed it is not much compensa-
ton to his pocket to learn that the
robber couldn't help it, or that he
did it to prevent some meaner man
from performing the same act. If
there be anything inherently
wrong in the banking system, let
it be righted. But, surely, there is
no occasion for abusing bankers
for doing that which conditions
force them to do. Just take the
question right home, who wouldn't
be a banker, anyway? And if you
were a banker, what assurance is
there that you would do differently
from what other bankers do.
There is a great deal of envy and
jealousy in the whole business and
most of US denource bankers be-
cause they wont permit us to han lie
their money for our own immediate
benefit.

THE SOLDIERS HOME.

We desire to call respectful at
tentior to some matters contained
in a special correspondence from
Boise City. Secretary CURTIS pro-
poses to at once begin work on the
Soldiers Home, in order that some
two or three hundred men about
Boise City may have employment
during the winter. That would be
a good thing for the idle men about
Boise, but is it exactly fair to the
taxpayers of the state? The Ia
inevitable fact appears that all the
taxpayers have been hard pushed
to pay their taxes and Thousands
of them have utterly failed. The
people of the state, as we'll as the
idle men of Boise City, are entitled
to consideration. The Soldiers
Home is a state institution; great
part of the work necessary to its
erection can and ought to be done
by state convicts. The rough work,
furnishing stone and considerable
skilled labor can be done without
cost to the people of the state. Is
it right to place additional burdens
on people who are already reduced
to extremities? Is it business to
purchase stone from Mr.. PR1DE's
quarry to erect a state building
while the state has quarry OF It's
own? Is it justice in times like
these to compel the people to fur
nish employment for Bosses unem'
ployed and maintain in idleness a
hundred convicts who could be
supporting themselves? ecretary
CURTIS should broaden the scope OF
his vision; he should look out be-
yond the Capital City and try to
understand that the whole State
of Idaho is struggling with distress
and hardship. There are needy
and unemployed in every quarter,
from Oneida to Koo:enai, from
Bear Lake to Washington. 10
take an unnecessary dollar from
the people at this time is little short
of criminality. 1t is not patriotism,
hardly humanity, which impells
Secretary CURTIS to tax the whole
state for the immediate and direct
benefit of Boise City's unfortunate.
1t is rather the operation of a pro-
vincial sentiment which says, give
Boise City abundance and good
cheer, though Idaho 60 to the
devil. Finally, who is to occupy
the Home? If completed in the
next ten years, it will still be years
in advance of any adequate de-
mand for it. Grand Army men
will make. a lamenta Bile mistake
by supporting or even encouraging
the Secretary's views. The people
are not now in temper to be
forced into the execution of expen.
sive and untimely charities. Even
reverence for the heroes who saved
our country loses potency in the
midst of distress which threatens
little children with want and pales
the cheeks of mothers with anxiety.

OUTSTANDING THEIR FUNDS.
Fall River Strikers Preparing Themselves
Financially for Further Trouble.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 27.-At a
large meeting of the Spinners' Union, to-
night, it was voted to declare all union BEN
efts off for four weeks, beginning last
Monday morning. This vote will include
everyone who was or may be entitled to
benefits, till the time expires. The discus
sion ON the subject lasted over an hour and
half and was very heated. The action
was not entirely unanimous, but will un-
doubtedly be followed.
At carders' meeting it was voted to
discontinue all union benefits, beginning in
the morning and lasting as long rs the lock-
out continues. This meeting was less ex-
citing than the spinners but was very
warm time. The carders are now working
and will be expected to pay weekly assess
ments as usual while work lasts. The votes
passed by these two unions indicate the in
tention of the trade unionists to prepare for
future trouble by protecting their funds as
long as they can possibly do so.

Tarr was driving common farm dump

many feet about. Harvey saw the engine
in season to jump, barely escaping with his
life. :.
