ssnted what he claims ''is entirely new
philosophy Of money" When We learn
what this proposal iO, it turns out to be
nothing new at all, aud scarcely d far
snt in any respect from WPst q IN. Jonn
D avis proposed several years ago in his
bill for losning money on real estate.
Il is simply the old plan Of putting into
circulation q great issue OF promises to
pay on the security Of the land OF the
people. II the government could create
wealth in this way, there might be some
merit Ia this plan. H. let me say that
this doctrine OF o vast issue OF paper
mcaay With NO expectation OF any re-
demption whatever, is one peculiar to
this country, at least, at the present time.
The editor of the ADVOCATE says:
shat the Eoglish people are 81 If 'ring
from the same 6nsncisl evils that curse
American to ds,;" but no one over there
seems to know it. They have tories and
liberals, anarchists, socialists, single
tsxers and other land reformeFs, but |
hsva failed to learn OF any agitation in
the line OF increasing the currency as
proposed hare. | venture to say that in
ell Great B itsiu one would huat long
time 10 findirg any newspaper devoted
to this propaganda. Such doctrine
waa once advocated there, but not now.
The like may bs said ss to sll other
countries in E Elrope. The real trouble
to day in England is landlordism, and
the rsRormers there know it, and in this
respect they are in advance Of as.
The Populist who demands more
money, is a greater worshipper of the
dollar than suyone else. Hs is the very
man who assists to keep up the dscep-
tion which be seeks to ex pose and which
he wants ended. IL is not more money
we want, but the right to become, in
common psrlsncs, makers Of money.
Everyone who possesses land, stock,
grain and all products OF labor possesses
10 fact, money, for Bll these are imme-
distely convertible into money. IL q
farmer has 81 600 worth Of hogs, he has
in reality that much money, for any day
he can make the conversion, and put
the money into his pocket. A Thousand
dollars is ready any day to make an eX-
change Of this kind, or perhaps a dozsn
suoh ex changes. Oft times tie exchange
is made without the use of money, as in
the case Of one man trading q horse to
another for q COW. II there was less
money in the country, or great amount
less, 1t might be necessary to make many
exchanges Of this character. II there
was scarcely any money in the country
production and employment would 60
on just the same ss now, but people
would be compelled to resort to greater
extent to a system OF barter, or do a.
they have done many times 10 the world
heretofore, use a method Of making tx
changes tf their own device.
Tne demand for more money can only
be predicted, il at al, upon the follow.
ing reasons: First-As a matter OF physi-
cal necessity, to wit, that there must
needs be more pieces Of money, so that
upon anything like fair distribution
all will have their proper share, and sut.
ficlent in number to make all necessary
exchanges. Sscond-Tnat We need to

China To Punish the Rioters.

Washington CITY. Aug 2a-The Chinese
minister was a the state department to-
day and held a conference OF an hours
duration with Acting Secretary Adee and
Third Assistant Secretary Rockhill con-
cerning the progress of the investigation
into the Chinese riots The minister in
formed the department that he had re-
ccived advices from the Peking authori-
ties that the investigation was making
satisfactory progress, and the minister
gave renewed assurances OF the determi-
nation Of the Chinese imperial authorities
10 press the inquiry and punish the per-
petrators. The statement by the Chinese
minister was in line with the information
received already from Minister DENLY.
and confirmed all he had stated
The minister assured the secretary that
he called upon the express direction of mis-
government as received in a cable dispatch
from the Chinese foreign office, to convey
direct official assurance Of the desire on
the part OF the Peking authorities TO make
adequate reparation for the injury done
to American interests by the Chinese riot
ers and set al rest the reports which rep
resent a different spirit on the part Of the
Chinese. He said the cableeram brought
assurance OF the co-onera ton OF the Chi
nese authorities in getting at the facts of
the riots, and confirmed tho information
already received that Consul Hixson was
sitting in the inquiry at kucheng with
the Taotai Hsu Sing. He also said that
several of the rioters had already been
convicted but the extent of their punish
ment had not vet been determined. The
visit was formal one. and was made In
strict accord with diplomatic etiquette.
The secretary was advised i'm advance of
the coming of the minister. who was ac-
companied by two members of his suite.
Everything was done apparently TO con-
vince the Americans of the earnest desire
the Chinese have 10 maintain the most
cordial relations with the people of this
country.

Black Diamond, Aug. 9.-Special.-The
Morgans slope, situated about mile west

fire last week is now down $50 feet. and
a force of men is busy working IL further

intendent of the Black Diamond Coal Com
pany says that the prospects. which have
been made with diamond drills. indicate
that the new mine mill he much larger

the landing at the mouth OF the slope and
the bunkers, containing so tons of coal,
were saved. For a time the bunkers were
threatened, but the elevated roadway con-
Meeting the landing and the bunkers was
torn down. and the flames were confined.
The machinery seems 10 have been dam

The Tacoma Tide Land FIJI.

Tacoma. Aug. a.-Special-B Before Judge
Stallcup this morning the suit drought by
James \. Nintermute TO restrain the Ill
ing of the Tacoma tide land plsts was
argued at length. Assistant Attorney
General Haight eentended in support Of
the demurrer on henalf Of the state board
of harhor line commissioners. and took
the position that the superior court had
no jurisdiction 10 interfere with the dis
cretionary powers vested ia the board 10
determine what was the mean high water
and mean low water marks. That the
lines are necessarily determined from a
long series OF measurements OF the rise
and fall OF the tide in front or and op
posite the city of Tacoma. and the board
had. in fact, judicial powers in arriving
at a basis for fixing the lines. Mr..
Shackieford contended that the remedy
WAS not by Injunction 70 prevent the fiji
ing Of the plat but hy subsequent pro-
ceedings 10 prevent a sale.
Attorney W. w. Archer, for Mr.. Winter
mute. contended that the discretionary
powers could not by implication be con-
siderei as permitting an unlawful inter
ference with the lands Of private property
owners and that If the plat was permit
ted TO be filed his clients remedy would
be gone.
