THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

The irrigation congress, which lately met
at Denver, consisted of three hundred
members, delegates from the Western
States and Territories, besides representa-
tives of the Land Office and the Geological
Survey. The intent lion of those W no con-
voked the congress was to get resolution
passed cedirg the arid lands 0D the public
domain to the States. This purpose was
defeated by members who diScerned that
the proposed cession would be denounced
rs land grab, and would really impede
the chances Of Irrigation. Itwas the sense
of the body that the irrigationists ought TO
be satisfied with the Carey law, which do
uates 100000 acres to each of the States
concerned. Irrigation. which is becoming
every year more living issue, is delayed
by the prevailing distrust with which the
people regard wholesale schemes that SAVIOR
of monopoly and speculation. Congress
endeav0red to overcome she draw pack by
enacting the Carey law, but nothing mas
yet been done under that law.
In the East some opposition to all plans
for irrigation has been raised on the
ground that the people have now more
land than they know what to do with, and
that the great agricultural staples-wheat,
cotton and wooi-are now being raised at
loss. Boston and Philadelphia lift up
their voices and say that it will be time
enough to reclaim the arid desert when the
land that is not arid is peopled by cult
vators who are making wages by farming.
and when there are no empty lands in
New England and in the Atlantic States
in the South. So long as these views
are entertained by substantial proportion
of the people, Congress is not likely 10
appropriate money for irrigation schemes.
The time, too. is not opportune for en-
terprises which rely for their reward upon
distant profit. Such adventures can only
be launched in periods oil general pros
perity, when people have savings to In
vest and the popular temper is saDguine.
1t is not to be supposed that the eloquent
object lessons presented by the irrigated
valleys in Utah are lost upon the people of
this Safe. Californians are keenly alive
10 the advantage which would be derived
from the extension of irrigation through
its arid counties and from the utilization
of the waters of the Colorado on the
desert which bounds that stream on the
west and south. But they do not deem
the present time appropriate for whole
sale schemes. By and by. with the extern
sion of the fruit industry and the enlarge
ment of the wine output, practical
schemes of irrigation on great scale will
take shape; but at present the disposition
is to proceed tentatively. Meantime con-
siderable progress is being made under
individual. associative and corporate
efforts. AS the people gain confidence in
their ability 10 handle the matter well,
numerous projects will be preached, until
eventually our arid lands will be gener-
ally brought under cultivation.

OHIO DEMOCRATS.

The manifesto which has emanated
from the Ohio State Central Committee is
relteration of certain financial axioms.
In the five divisions of the subject there is
not one gold advocates will, not accept
The statement that "money is the standard
by which the exchaDgeable value of all
labor and products of la Dor is determined"
IS weak statement of a principle every
where admitted. Money is a measure of
value, and, as consequences, The ex-
changeable value of a given amount of
products is determined by the amount of
money in circulation. The proposition
that gold is an unvarying measure of
value has never been advanced. The
Ohio men are right in saying that there
ure, but wrong in the assertion that GOLD
is claimed to be such measure.
Bimetallists claim that a closer approx
imation to an unvarying measure can
be obtained by the Joint use of the two
metals as money than by the use OF one.
MonometalliSts claim that gold is the
closer approximation. Facts are on the
side of the bimetalists. During the long
period when the minis of France were
open to the unlimited coinage OF both
metals, the limit of variation seldom rose
to ! per cent Since 1873, when the minis
Uf France have been closed % silver. the
appreciation of gold as compared with
commodities has been more than 80 per
cent How much of this appreciation is
due to other causes than the demonetiza-
ton Of silver Is a matter financial experts
are wrangling over.
The third plank, that "busiBess men
must remember that money may be apnre-
ciated in value as well as deprecated, +" ;
well enough as a reminder, but can hardly
be said to be new doctrine. Everybody
knows that property rises In value as
money depreciates and falls In value as
money appreciates. The fourth plank is a
repetition of the thru. The fifth employs
a good many words 90 arrive at the concin-
sion that the purchasing power of money
is governed by the supply and demand" o
conclusion that will not bs controversial

Committee has thrown no light upon the
real factor in The silver problem.

CENTRAL AMERICA.

1t is not improbable that In the course
of short time the nations Of America
may apply to Central America the princi-
pies of government that European Govern
ments propose to apply to the Government
of Korea. International intervention will
be invoked to determine the future rela-
ton Korea should bear to japan and
China. Central America is the American
locality which does not seem to possess
the capacity for self-government. The
prizes of years rule in one Of these little
republics are greater from a money point
of view than a rule of the same period
would bring tn European monarch. The
consequence Is series of revolutions,
men always being found to take the risks
of rebellion for the enoiuments of brief
success. A Central American President
who does not get away with more than a
million is considered as having fooled
away his opportunities. The five Central
American republics, containing a little
more than 100000 of people. would make
respectable nation if consolidated under
one Government. But the hopes and aspi-
rations Of a good many budding statesmen
would be crushed if there were but one
Presiden tial prize. Neither Government is
strong enough to annex the others to it and
make annexation a fact so potent that no
one would kick against il. Mexico,
however, the big northern neigbbor
of the Central American repub ics,
might, under some kind of American
International sanction, give the five
countries stable Government. In any
geographical reimbursement that can be
made on this continent the Central Ameri-
can countries woul1 fall to Mexico. All
are Spanish-spsaking countries and, con-
sequently. there would be no race humili-
atoms 10 the absorption of Central America
