REMOVE THE CAUSE.

The New York Tribune is as siren
uous an advocate of the greenback
as Weaver himself, and uses pre-
cisely the same arguments in it's de-
fense that Solon Chase used for it's
extension until it replaced all other
forms of money. We doubt if this
position is taken from any convic-
ton other than a partisan one Of
the necessity of saying something
in defense of a currency owing it's
paternity to the Tribune's party
That it was the greenback that was
the parent of greenbackism and the
grandparent of free silyerism, and
that it will be the ancestral source
of other isms of the same breed after
the silver delusion shall have passed
away, we doubt not the Tribune
itself really believes.
No national system of currency
can be sound unless it is patterned
after a sane coinage system. In
that the production of the raw ma
terial is left to private enterprise,
the government merely giving to
such bullion as its owner prefers to
have coined rather than have it
seek the market as bullion, the
shape and certificate OF weight and
fineness required by its system. SO
with the paper substitutes for me-
tallic money, the government should
leave the supply to the same pri-
vate enterprise, taking upon itself
the function Of securing uniformity
and solvency as far as legislative
wisdom can. So interviewer is cur
rency with commerce that the same
provisions of the constitution that
give to congress the power to "coin
money and regulate the value there
Of" and to regulate commerce
among the several states" nee
essarily carry with them the
power to regulate the issues of pa
per representatives of the coins.
In the absence of the exercise of
this power by congress, as in some
other matters, the states have exer-
cised it; but as in the other in
stances, when congress assumes the
use of it's power, its use supersedes
and excludes that of the states. It

WHO PAYS THE TAX:

Mr.. Mckinley has not yet ceased
to assert that 1.-The foreigner paws the
tax" Even John Sherman, if our
memory serves us well, said at the
Ohio state convention of his party.
that the Democrats had adopted the
system of taxing our own people"
The recent convention of the Repub-
lican club league at Cleveland, in
the address that was suppressed
viewed with alarm, the evident
purpose Of the Democrats to make
the people support the government
instead of having the government
support some of the people. While
a goodly number of thoughtless peo-
pie i'll our country share this de-
fusion with Mr.. Mckinley, word
comes from Winnipeg that no such
deiusion exists there; and that they
realize not only that the foreigner.
that is, their foreigner, does not
pay the tax, and that they, the Mani
tobans, do, but that their own fa-
vored infants tax them to precisely
the same extent that the dreaded for
eigner is taxed.
That Manitoba raises wheat and
but little else exportable, every one
knows. That the farmers of this
state are saved from the disaster of
a deluge Of Manitoba wheat by
tariff is a fiction which eminent
statesmen have tried, with varying
success, to convince our farmers is
a reality. That in spite of it Mani
toba wheat comes in and is ground
into flour and exported is fact that
has failed to convince the eminent
statesmen and some of their follow
ers of the fallacy of their barrier
theory. That some of this Manitoba
wheat is milled here in Minneapolis
and sent back to Winnipeg for sale
is q fact of commerce. 1t is import
ed, pays the tariff tax, is converted
into flour, exported and the import
ing miller gets from Uncle Sam ali
the import tax paid except one cent
on the dollar retained by our in
dulgent uncle as a protection for his
farmers who raise wheat.
That initiative faculty which con-
meets us with our simian ancestry
has led the Canadian authorities
to follow our fostering and protect
ing policy, and flour from the states
has to pay a tax of 371a cents a
sack of 100 pounds. This is to en-
courage and protect the lew gentle
men in Manitoba who are engaged
in converting wheat into flour. Like
some of our own similarly sheltered
favorites of a paternal government,
these Manitoban millers believe that
the law was enacted for their indi-
vidual benefit instead of for the gem
eral welfare; and they accordingIy

MetropoIitan-A Black Sheep.


The lovers of farce comedy who were
at the Metropolitan opera house at the
opening performance here of Hoyt's
"a Black Sheep" last night must have
had their tastes fully gratified, for it
certainly is one of the funniest attrac-
tons of the kind that has been seen
here in some time. Like all plays of
this character, there is only sufficient
plot to enable the performers to work
in a lot OF clever specialties between
the mirth-provolling situations.
The buriesque is built on the trans
formation Of a Western character who
has inherited a, large amount of wealth
in the East. He makes trip to Eu-
rope and his English air on his return
is enough to make a dyspeptic laugh.
This character is portrayed by Otis
Harlan, and is known as Hot Stuff.
William De We're, as the editor of the
Tombstone, Arizona, Inscription,
shares honors with Mr.. Harlan in the
comedy work throughout the perform
ance. Joseph Natus as the stranded
theatrical manager, and William z.
Mack, as the Tombstone bartender, are
also very good. Miss Fanny Johnson.
as the queen of buriesque, and Miss
Agnes Roselane as the cousin of Hot
Stuff, whom he is to we'd inside of 365
days or forfeit his claim to the fortune,
are clever in their work, and both won
the audience.
The dialogue is crisp and catchy and
the action is rapid, so that it does not
become tiresome, as such plays often

Roth RIGHT AND ExpEDIENT.

Four years ago Mr.. Cleveland
wrote, in a letter approving the atti-
tude of the c. b e on the silver
coinage, that 'it is a very strange
thing to find at this time, on the very
heels of a new demonstration of the
strength and sufficieney of princi-
pies and beliefs which we know are
Democratic and right, there should
be so much willingness to follow
lights which, if not false and set up
for our destruction, are by no means
thus far recognized as Democratic,
and which are by no means certainly
known to be right. Every citizen
who loves his country and every
Democrat who loves his party ought
to pray that the question to which
you refer may be considered with
reference to it's relation to the good
OF the country and the conscience of
our party, rather than in the light
of temporary and dangerous ex-
pediency"
After four years of experience,
during which some people have been
regarding the silver question lin the
light of temporary and dangerous
eXpediency," and during all of which
the president has regarded it with
reference to its relation to the good
of the country and the conscience of
our party" it is well, especially now,
to take account Of stock and see
which of the two methods of treat
ment is not only the best in itself.
but the most certain of popular ap-
prOVal We can understand Whv.
after the elections of last year, so
many lent willing ear to the propo-
sition to coin silver at the present
ratio. Congress had behaved badly.
1t had not done all the things it was
commissioned to do. 1t had rejected
the wise recommendations of the
. president and Secretary Carlisle for
the adoption of a sound national cur
rency, and it had enacted a tariff
so variant from the pledge made
that the president withheld his an
proVaI and let it become a law with
out his signature. Following i'm
mediately came the elections and an
overwhelming defeat. The solid
South" was broken into. The
house was swept away from us and
the senate was lost. Disheartene6
Democrats refused to vote, and many
of the recruits gained from the oppo-
sition by years of reasoning went
back to their old camp.
Then the silverites, fitfully active
for years, seeking in the general
Generalization their opportunity,
sprang into the field with virulent
activity. The hard times aided the
movement, but it was vastly more
aided by those Democrats who imag-
ined they saw in it an eXpedient by
which lost power could be regained.
1t was plausible and catching. 1t ap-
pealed to the distressed, who were
legion. Democratic principles op-
posed it, but expediency urged it.
The practical" fellows saw, or
thought they saw, in it the means of
retaining or regaining control. A
larger portion saw, or imagined they
saw, in it the means of preventing
restoration of the Republican
party with its policies of protection,
bounties, elections control and jingo-
Ism. Anything was better than that;
nothing could be worse. Silver coin
age was the eXpedient to use to pre-
vent it. 1t was considerations like
these that gave the movement the
most OF its strength in our party.

desires to enter the competition for
the G l O b summer trips, will be
taken into the prize record. At the
end of the month the books of this
competition will be closed and the
result announced. In addition to
this, and in order that those who
have given time and energy to the
service of the G l o b e, but fall be-
low the winners record, may not go
unrewarded, consolation prizes in
cash will be given to the amount of
10 per cent on each amount of $25
or more sent in by any one person
for new subscriptions in this compe-
tition. This will do complete justice
to every one canvassing actively for
the G l b e, whether or not he sue
ceeds in winning one of the coveted
first three prizes.
Go to work for the G l o b e. There
are thousands of people to whom the
month of July brings more or less
leisure as their vacation. How can
this be better employed than in at
tempting to secure a pleasure trip
which the labor and saving of years
would not bring? The race is free
and open to all. There is no discrim-
ination. There are no coupons to
be cut out and forwarded There
are no unfair or complicated rules.
1t is a straight business proposition.
The G b e knows that a multi
tude of its readers will regard this
as the opportunity of their lives. It
believes that the benefit to itself from
enlisting their services in it's behalf
at this time will more than COM
pensate for the outlay involved in
these expensive excursions. 1t knows
that the people of the Northwest re-
gard it in a kindly spirit, and that
every canvasser who approaches
getting more than their moneys
worth when they pay their subscrip-
tions to the Globe 1t offers a
tempting compensation for noble
work, a sure return proportioned to
the effort that is given, and glori-
Gus reward to those who are most
successful
Success is within the reach of any
one. None can tell what will be the
amount sent in by the prize Win
ners. Any man or woman in any
city, town or hamlet, in any of the
states within which the G OBJ e cir
culates, may honestly end reason
ably hope to come out at the top of
the list. We believe that this offer
will rouse a grand enthusiasm among
the people, and that scores and hun
dreds of canvassers will spring to
work for increasing the business of
the representative newspaper of the
Northwest, while securing for them
selves a certain compensation and
a probable colossal reward in the
shape of a free summer trip, furnish
ing them such delightful experience
as will last them for the rest of their
lives.
There are thirty days before you
for the contest. No such inducement
is likely ever to be presented again
to our public. While the G 10 b e
expects to derive from this PROPOSE
ton great benefit for itself, it de-
lights to think that work for it will
be on fair basis, and that no con-
testant for its mammoth prizes will
go unrewarded. A free trip to the
Pacific coast and return! A free
trip through the Yellowstone Park
and return! A free trip to Niagara
and return! Cash wages for those
who compete without winning first,
second or third prize! Let every
body start in with vigor and deter
mination to earn the most delight
full vacation of a life time.

Of the price of it's raw material, and
at what the Minneapolis millers'
flour costs laid down in Winnipeg.
The local millers demand and get
$2.45 sack. The Minneapolis -four
has to pay 81 cents a sack for rail-
way charges, 3712 cents a sack for
tariff, a couple of cents for the sack
and a tariff of 25 per cent one that,
making about 81 cents before it can
be offered to the bread-winnersJ of
Winnipeg. And the ''foreigner's"
flour is being sold in Winnipeg a
few cents less a sack than is the
Winnipegger flour made from Nam
itoba wheat and ground at home.
So it is becoming clear to thesfWin-
nipegger who buys flour that his
home miller is taking to himself the
benefits both of the import tax and
OF the railway charges, and making
the bread-eaters pay it. Further in
vestigat tions inform him that flour
from Manitoba wheat is actually be-
ing sold III England cheaper than
it is in Manitoba. Against these
most potent facts the bubble of
foreigner paying the tax dashes and

a WASTE PRODUCT UTILIZED.

One of the great triumphs of in
dustry and science in this last quar-
ter century is the utilization of waste
products. Every hunters lame
shoulder after a days shooting con-
vinces him that one of the waste
products of a shot is the kick" of
his gun. There is no good and lots
of hurt in it. He would gladly dis
pense with it, but he cannot It's
recOil is the penalty he has to pay
for the pleasure Of the shot. Nature
never gives; what you get from her
you pay for not in deferred pay
ments, but on the spot. But even
this apparently hopelessly waste
product is conquered by tie utili-
tartan Of this most material age. The
force Of the recoil is made to work
effectively and usefully. Lieut.. Max
i'm, in his latest gun, makes the
kick" load the gun for the next
discharge.
This is how it is done: "The gun
is automatic in its action after the
first shot has been fired. The recoil
from the exploded cartridge gives the
barrel which has a rear attach
ment, a backward motion. The re-
coiling motion is limited to about
one inch, as a crank comes in con-
tact with the breech casing, causing
it to rotate and strike a buffer
spring, which returns it into firing
position. The crank also works the
breech lock. The cartridges are fed
into the gun by means of a belt
which passes through feed blocks.
The recoil of the barrel from the dis
charge of the first cartridge inserts
the next charge from the belt raises
the breech lock, cocks the hammer,
and fires, extracts and elects the
shells while the succeeding charge
is being brought into position
