AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN THEN?

II an international agreement LOT DE-
metsllism should be arrived at, 1t would'

world II could not, Of course. leave
France with her ratio of fifteen ana one
half to one. and America with her rauo
~ sixteen to one. a uniform ratio would
roe1 IN be adopted for all. Very well.
When this Is agreed on, what shall be the
next step? Shall coinage OF silNer De
left where IL is, or shah each country
Ia aroved 10 coin a certain sum each
wear. or shall the minis of all coun-
tries be thrown open to the free coinage
of all the silver that Is brought TO
them? We know. of course. that neither
of the first two propositions VIII suit
the silver men. and an international
agreement resting upon either of them
would accomplish actually nothing. The
fight would go on for free coinage after
that agreement was made just as actively
as before. The silver men must have alb
solutcly free coinage or nothing. Con-
sequently. we apprehend, that the inter
national agreement. if 1T is ever made,
will be for entirely free coinage at ratio
for the whole world of. say, sixteen to
one.
What must happen when this takes
place? We can now mine as much silver
in this country as necessary TO make
silver dollar on the basis Of sixteen to
one for about nifty cents in gold. This
proceeds from two causes; first the
richness of our mines. and second, the
great Improvements that have been made
in raising and smelling ores. If, then,
we can continue TO get a dollar by spend
ing fifty cents there is no probability
that the industry Of mining silver will
fall into decay On the contrary. II will
certainly become far more active thar IT
has ever been. But. under the stimulus
Of such enormous proats. new mines will

and processes will be improved still fur
ther, until the very latest possible refine
ment is made. How we can fail TO take
from the earth the last ounce of silver II
contains under such a condition of things
we are at a loss to perceive.
Now the fiat of government has enor-
nous power. and the joint fats of all
governments is stronger than any other
physical power on the earth. and yet
there are things beyond even the power
OF that. one OF which is the tastes and
tempers OF men and their minds. When
silver shall become as abundant as such
q state OF things must make Il. men win
prefer gold in spite Of all the governmental
DEGREES that earth can frame. And. when
that becomes the case. 1t will be simply
another form OF saying that gold has
gone to a premium and that the money
OF the world has become dcbased. We
would like 20 be shown the defects OF
this view OF the case.

New York Sun: The remarks OF Mr..
Hewitt before the Society of Mechanics
and Tradesmen on Wednesday evening
expressed the prevailing and proper Amer
lean sentiment. The demagogues and pes
tilent social agitators who are now pro-
ceedng on the theory that they can
make political capital by opposing to it
the unreasonable and destructive impulses
Of human nature, will be crushed under
its weight whenever its full force is ex-
e-ted.
1t is a sentiment that is stronger and
more pervasive here than In any other
country Of the world. Nowhere else is
the animating spirit Of the people so
totally averse from such doctrines as So
cialists are striving TO disseminate. This
country was first conquered from barbar-
ism by civilized men. who came here 10
better their fortunes. and from their
day 10 the present time the same strug-
gle has continued Increasingly.

The Girls Of Mexico.

"A great deal Of this talk about the
beauty Of the Spanish and Mexican women
Is bosh," said James G. Madison of Quay
mas, Mexico. Mr.. Madison Is an Ameri-
can who Is interested In Mexican silver
mines and has spent the most Of the last
seven years in that country.
MANY Of the Mexican girls of the higher
classes are very pretty along tho years from
10 to %. Then they begin to decay,
and at s5 they are anything but attractive.
They are all born flirts and lave q most
alluring and captivating way of coquet-
tishly concealing their faces behind long
mantillas, usually of a bright color, and
pecping out from behind these at a fellow.
On the theory that a skirt dance is moro
suggestive than the march of the amazons
ballet, Mexican girls appear to the stranger
to be very beautiful. They all do have
wonderful eyes, black and sparkling. But

What to Do With Them.

Amid all the froth and ant of talk for
or against the Coxey ragged regiments
on their march to Washington we have
seen only n suggestion that had any
grain of helpfulness or common sense in
it, and that came from a woman. Mrs.
Matilda Allenson forwarded to Senator
PETER a paper. with II petition asking
congressto appropriate S., DOC, 900 for the
establishment of industrial colonies in
which the unemployed could earn their
living at farming. The land of courseis
easy of obtainlnent. The money would
build houses and purchase seed, live
stock and farming implements. 1t need
not be given in the form of charity, but
as a loan which those gettingit shall pay
back as Don as they are able.
It is remarkable that this plan of farm
colonization is the one proposed by Cen
eral Booth in England for the purpose Of
clearing ont the slums of the cities and
affording relief to the surcharged urban
population. Baron Hirsch took the same
method with the exiled Russian Jews.
With strange unanimity the eyes of those
who seek to help the poor turn instinct
lively back to the soil as a means of re-
lief-to the kindly mother earth that first
nourished all mankind.
The question to be answered is, Will
the unemployed accept this e of
relief If they would not. they ought to
starve. But it is doubtful. At the very
time the army of the commonweal be-
gan its march farmers in many parts of
the country were short of help and could
not get it for love or money.
