Grain Inslpection.

The members of the Superior board
of trade say that the proposed scheme
of the Duluth and Minneapolis grain
men owning elevators in that city to
overthrow the Wisconsin inspection
law by taking it into the courts and
having it decided unconstitutional will
not work. At least they will not DO
the ones upon whom the burden of the
fight will devolve, as, according to the
reports from St. Paul, the Minnesota
interests would have it. It is reported
that the Minnesota railroad and ware
house commission has refused to take
any hand in the present fight except to
agree to place inspectors at Sandstone,
Mimi, and there inspect wheat for SUI
perior. 1t is proposed to then place it
in the Great Northern elevators at Su-
perior and let the board of trade try to
stop them for running without q license.

The Bankers and the Currency.

The free silverites are constant
ly representing that the bankers
and capitalists are all for sound
money because it is TO their advant-
age to contract the currency and
make money scarce and dear. This
idea finds ready acceptance with
many honest people on account of
prevailing prejudice against in
situations that represent large f.
nsncial interests; but as a matter
of fact, it has no reasonable foun-
dation. The bankers certainly
have nothing to gain from
a policy OF contraction when
the result must sooner or later
be panic and general unset
thing of commercial affairs. 1t is
to their interest to encourage trade
and industry, and to prevent finanA
cial commissions; and that Is what
they are doing all the time. Their
checks and bills of exchange rep
resent system of steady expan-
sion for the benefit of their Gus
toners and the general public. In
lending out their deposits, they
contribute directly and effectively
to the business welfare of the couu-
try; and their profits are depend
emit upon the success OF those whom
they thus favor. 1t is folly to sup
pose they are anxious to make it
harder for their depositors and
borrowers to obtain the means Of
carrying on those enterprises
which are the source of their own
prosperity.
There is plain and good rea son
for the opposition OF the ban kers
and capitalists to the free silver
fallacy. They are against it be-
cause it is inimical to the interests
Of all kinds of business. Their ex-
perience has taught them the
value OF an honest currency, and
the danger of changing a superior
standard to an inferior one. They
are DESTROYS to pay their deposit
tors in as good money as they get
from them, and to avert the var
ious evils that would certainly fol-
low the free coinage of silver. 1t
