Canada knows the value of the fisheries

plenipotentiaries at Washington, Sir
John A. Macdonald had to constantly
combat this tendency, notably shown by
the Marquis of Ripon, who was as much
inclined to yield to tn" Americans as he

NO DARK LANTERNS.

The tone and temper Of AL communi-
ties 10 the United States just at present
is that the acts of public servants
whether they be administrative. legisla-
tive or judicial, shall be done in full view
of the public. Executive sessions and
star chamber proceedings are at a dis
count. In the very nature of Things
authority is delegated to all officials, but
the people, jealous of their primary right
of holding to accountability their serv-
ants, demand that public functions be
exercised in such a public manner that
they may be aware how and why con-
illusions are reached by those to whom
their interests are entrusted. This feel.
ing is surely justitiable and serves a
double purpose. 1t keeps the people ad-
vised Of what is being done and gives
them a chance to c~riticise or protest, and
it has a tendency to prevent officials from
hasty and ill advised action. A due
sense of responsibility is one thing. and
a disregard of the rights and opinions of
the public, even though it be uninten-
tional is another.
These suggestions are offered in good
faith to the Great Falls city council and
a committee thereof. The question of
water supply is one of the most import
ant that now confronts our citizens. A
difference exists between the city and
the water company as to relative rights
and duties, out of which some legal com.
plications have arisen. By the advice Of
the city attorney the courts were resorted
to in order to determine the questions at
abandoned. In so doing the representa-
tives of the city did not abandon the
contention that the charter Of the water
company was faulty. but evidently con
Guided to attack it in another way.
To do this, again acting under the
advice of the city attorney. the coun-
Gil at a recent meeting appointed
a committee to take charge of the water
controversy with power to act This
10 certainly a remarkable authority to
vest in a small committee. The necessity
for it is not apparent and the objections
to it are obvious. 1t gives to three gen
tlemeD plenary power to dispose Of a
subject that is of vital Importance to
every citizen. This Is wrong in principle
and should not be permitted. 1t is in
line with autocracy and savors of star
chamber proceedings. Why not let the
committee examine carefully the subjec,
and report to the council? Let that body
consider it ia open session that the pub
lie may be advised, and then let Il con.
clusion be reached il possible. It is said
the city attorney wants to proceed or
the quiet in order that the company may
not know how he intends to act, but this
seems a far-fetched idea. No matter
what the city may do, there can be nc
snap judgment taken on the company
for it has legal rights that cannot be
vitiated by either secrecy or publicity.
The most honorable and, therefore. the
best way in the premises is to let the
people know just what is being done.
This simple Justice to all concerned.

Another favorite argument OF the free

adopted the gold standard and has grown
rich by it, and that, therefore, 1t must
be bad for other countries. Let us note
two things in this connection:
First. England first adopted trial by
jury and the writ of habeas corpus. She
first enforced the principle of freedom
that no man should be deprived of life,
liberty or property but by the Judgment
of his peers or the law OF the land.
Shall we discard these sacred muniments
of liberty because they are OF English
origin?
Second.--If England has prospered

Some Historical Facts For 10 to l-srs "a
Masticate.
In his recent sound money speech al
Hillsboro, Tex, Judge Rufus Hardy
cited the following historical facts
The United States today has larger
circulation per capita than any free
coinage country ever did have.
1t has more gold dollars per capita
than any free coinage country ON earth
today has Of all kinds Of money.
1t has more silver dollars per capita
than any free silver country today.
1t has more gold than silver, and the
volume of its silver circulation is great
er per capita than the entire circulation
of gold, silver and paper reduced to
silver-cf any free coinage nation.
The United States under gold stand
ard-since 1873 has maintained q
greater circulation per capita than il
ever did before
There has been five times more silver
coined under the gold standard, from
1878 till now, 30 years, than there was
under free coinage from 1792 to 1878,
81 years.
Every nation that has adopted the
gold standard, except one or two who
are on deprecated paper bases, has in
creased its circulation.
No nation of first class civilization
has the silver standard.
Mexico is the highest type of free sill
yer nation on earth on double standard,
SO called, and its per capita circulation
is SAT-.
Our per capita circulation has in
creased since 1873 moro than the entire
circulation Of Mexico.
The wages of no free silver country
ON earth average third of those in the
United States.
No country on earth has in practice a
double (gold and silver) standard.
No country for 200 years (since COM
MERGE became internationally ever has in
practice had a double standard.
The proposition that there can be but
one standard is in fact self evident.

LEGISLATION AND PRICES.
Laws OF Trade More Powerful Than the
Laws OF Nations.


Laws OF Nations.
The Iowa Democrats ON Aug. 2 de-
clared against free coinage Of silver at
16 to by an overwhelming majority.
The following is short quotation from
the speech of Hon. Nathaniel French,
chairman Of the convention:
SAT what ratio shall we coin the
metals so that dollar of one will equal
a dollar of the other in intrinsic and
exchangeable value? When we want to
know how much things are worth, we
go to the markets and find out. We
don't HUNT up congressman to ask the
value of eggs or spring chickens or grain
or anything else, or if congress has de-
clared what their value shall be. We
know that the mere declaration of con-
gress, or even constitutional amend
ment, could not fix the price Of single
egg. In like manner. if we want to know
how many ounces Of silver an ounce of
gold is worth, we must go to the bull
lion markets instead of the revised
statutes Thomas Jefferson could not
have won undying fame as q statesman
and leader of the common people if he
had not been endowed with an album
dance of common sense, and over 100
years ago, when congress sought his adj
vice as to the ratio to adopt for the
coinage Of gold and silver, he said:
Disregard legal proportions altogether.
Inquire into the market price. He
knew that opinions should not and
could not be controlled by legislation.
He knew that the basic laws of trade
were more powerful than the laws of
nations and that the multiplication
table could not be altered by statute.
''To so coin gold and silver that both
shall circulate together by reason of
parity of value we must follow Jeffer-
sons advice and inquire the price of
gold and silver in the markets of the
world. If we find one ounce of gold will
buy 32 ounces of silver, that is the ratio
to adopt. To put in the silver dollar
more than 80 grains of silver for each
grain of gold in the gold dollar would
at once drive our silver money from cir
culation, and to put in less would BAN
ish our gold The loss of either would
be a misfortune, and TO retain both we
must adopt the mercantile ratio, putting
in our coins no more and no less than is
needed to make one Of equal value to
the other -
