a witer in the jamestown Abort approx.
ing Of Representative Nierlings ammend-
ment to the game laws of the state in
which non-residents ars licensed to hunt

lege says:
In the Alert of the 4th inst. notice
someone attempts to explain why and
how Manitoba has so many game birds
bnt does not do it. The facts are Mani
TOBIAS gnlne season opens Sept. 10th, and
non residents of that providence are oblig-
ed to pay $25 yearly for the privilege Of
shooting, and the authorities there are in
position to, and do. enforce their laws.
That is precisely what Mr.. Nierling's bill
will furnish for North Dakota: A good
game law and means to enforce it should
the bill pass MS originally presented. The
bill presented by Mr.. Nierling permits
residents to hunt on their own property
with or without dogs. rnd to hunt Mt large
without dogs, witt,out licence. Non-resi-
dent property owners, who pay taxes to
the amount of S25 yearly are entitled to a
resident permit, secured In the county
where such tax is paid.
Farmers arc pleased with that bill. The
only kick comes from men that never
hunt, have no interest whatever in game
protection, and arc figuring to save their
non resident friends the expense of taking
out hunting licence. Give US game
law similar to Canada's and we will have
rs many gamo birds as they have aud tie
in position to hold out inducement to
foreign hunters as they do. and give the
residents of the state satisfactory days
outing. The only object in charging
lioenos fee at all is for the sole purpose of
furnishing the sinews of war. Minnesota
in 1894 expended $4,000 in protecting
their game. North Dakota is not in
position to do this; hence the necessity for
the hunters to take up this burden. Any
game law is useless unless backed by
funds to enforce it. In order to secure
efficient game wardens they must be we'll
paid for their time, other wise they will
remain in active as they have heretofore.

For Restoration.

There is an amazing degree of mis-
understanding of the real attitude OF
the farmers and manufacturers of the
country on the silver question. This
misunderstanding prevails in the West
to n degree positively alarming and
dangerous to the cause. 1t cannot be
repeated too often that the information
we get over the wires from the East
or through the metropolitan newspapers
of the East are subservient to the in
fluences of the advocates OF the single
gold standard because, In fact they
are. in the main, the property of the
advocates of the single gold standard,
For this reason, Western people should
never look to the aSs0ciate ted dispatches
or to the editorials of the Eastern news
paper press to ascertain the attitude Of
anybody on the silver question.
1t has been stated before, but cannot
be repeated too often, that the aSSo-
ciated press falsified its reports of the
action of the farmers national congress
at Atlanta on the silver question. The
course that the delegates in that con-
STcSS Pun was pie'iSVi' 'hN Noh
trary to what the associated press re-
ported. and was everything that the
most ardent friends OF the silver cause
could ask.
To know the real attitude OF the
farmers and manufacturers of the
whole country on this question, one
must seek information from the middle
classes, who compose the masses Of
farmers and manufacturers. 1t is a
fact, which a thorough investigation
will. sustain, that among the farmers
and manufacturers In the whole region
east OF the Missouri River nine out Of
ten are in favor of the restoration OF
silver coinage.

bagatelle compared with those at the Bos-

of Russia for hundred years to lose no

the determination of Europe that Russia
shall not occupy Constan:;npp;e.

they could be sure that the overthrow of
the Turkish empire and its partition would
not fatally disturb the balance of power.

editorial utterances:
The simple fact is that best money
means nothing more nor less than low
est prices, and lowest prices cannot pos
sibly mean anything else than depreS-
sion in industry and stagnatiOn in bust
ness. Legislation that would restore
the use Of silver rs money here and in
other countries would double the
amount of money and make the whole
less valuable. This would mean adj
vancing profits just rs positively rs

Il change in this direction.
The only prospect for relief in sight

the only chance for getting Il less val
liable currency with advancing prices.
is from the increasing production Of
gold, and from this cause. as we have
previously pointed out. there is reason
to be hopeful of good results. But the
change cannot come at once. 1t will
take time TO develop the mines and
get out the gold. and even with the
large production of S200.000,000 in gold
year, it will be some time before there
can be q marked effect on the value of

lief from tariff changes which will tend
to advance prices again. but this would
be only temporary as long as the gen
eral movement of the worlds currency
tends to make it more valuable or
better as our tinancierS express it.
1T is no answer to say that this argu-
ment could be carried TO an extreme
and that a currency Of copper or tin or
iron would be cheaper and- therefore
bring more prosperity. We could sim
ply ask how the other extreme would
work with Il currency of diamonds or
some other metal Of which only few
pounds could be supplied. We are
arguing on the existing conditions and
in Il business way, and the only com
mon sense business conclusion must be
that the movement in the direction of
better or more valuable money as a
measure of values must be stopped be-
fore there can be any confidence or as
surance or profit in business opera
tons. We may have SpurtS in differ
ent lines and changes due to what
might be termed local causes, but in
dustry as a whole cannot prosper as
long as declining prices destroy all
chances of profit for the men who must
take the lead in all various branches OF
wealth production. In so far rs the re-
cent great gold discoveries tend to this
result there is promise and hope for
the future"
The above utterance. coming from tbs
representative journal of one of the
heaviest items of manufacture in the
East, may be clasSed as significant. 1t
presents in business-like terms the re-
lation Of currency TO commerce, rela-
ton which the Eastern statesmen, be-

ing terms, which mean little or nothing
