MKINLEY AND RECIPROCITY

The placing of Major Mckinley on a
platform that declares for both reciproc-
ity and protection is not only humorous
because of the obvious inconsistency Of
the two propositions, hut is liable to
prove embarrassing to the Major. Re
ciprocity is free trade between the coun-
tries that are parties TO it, and if good
thing to engage in with one country,
must logically be a good thing to engage
in with the world. The party that en-
dorses the practice of reciprocity admits
that the people of each country have
something TO sell that the people Of the
other want, proposition involving the
basic principle of the free trade doctrine.
Just why we should stint ourselves in
the benefits Of this practice by conflning
our reciprocal relations to the peoples
that buy the least and have the smallest
the peoples that are the most liberal
buyers and have the largest commerce.
is something the men who adopted the
Republican platform would have hard
time explaining in a satisfactory way,
The Republican mental vision is pecul-
iarly defective in the respect that ii is
utterly incapable of following principle
into large sphere of action.
To Major Mckinley the reciprocity
plank must be distasteful and should
prove troublesome TO defend.
Mckinley has very wobbly record on

Devastation of Forests

The devastation of the forests still
goes on in various parts of the country,
which, unlike New York and few of
the eastern and middle states, do not
appreciate the value of trees. Unfortu-
nately this appreciation, even in the
east, has come too late. 1t is proudly an
nOunced in a western paper that large
syndicate has acquired possession of 40,
600 acres of timber land in Northern
Idaho. 1t is estimated that this area will
yield more than 100000 600 feet of white
and yellow pine, red and white fir, ce
dar and tamarack. The arid waste
which it will also shield is not taken into
consideration in this estimate. Ameri-
cans have too long looked upon trees
as in their way unless they could be
used to build fires or for commercial
purposes. This was true few hundred
years ago in Germany, but now a man
who cuts down tree must plant one to
take it's place or suffer a penalty.
Probably a like provision will be enact
ed here some time, but it should come
before many more trees are felled.-New

ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS RE.
WARD

For several weeks past the Evening
Express has been claiming larger cir
culation than The Herald. Such claim
The Herald asserts is baseless, and to
prove it's falsity and convince the public
that The Herald has the larger circula-
tion, it will pay into the treasury of the
Express company $100 in trust for any
church or charitable institution the Ex-
press may designate if the Express will
make and publish an affidavit showing
the exact number of papers it has printed
each day since December 81, 1895. Said
amount will be paid in compliance with
the foregoing conditions even if the
statement required shows that the cir
culation of the Express is larger than
that of The Herald.

There were some charming musical Sc

A TRIFLE INCONSISTENT

The New York World thus points out
some of the inconsistencies of those Brit
ishers who are loudly protesting their
preference for peace and arbitration:
1.-The London convention of chambers
of commerce of the British empire is
certainly a representative body OF Brit
ish merchants, and its action on the
peace and arbitration resolutions of Sir
John Lubbock was highly suggestive. 1t
adopted a resolution recommending ar
bitration, but struck out the preamble
in favor of international disarmament,
in which the expense of keeping always
prepared for war was denounced as an
intolerable burden on the people.
"In Englands own case the language
is we'll within bounds. 1t has to pay
S125 200, 900 annually to meet the single
item of interest on its war debt-a debt
which now amounts to $3.50 per head
for the entire kingdom. In addition to
this it pays 100000 600 for army and
navy, while if it had neither army, navy
nor war debt its total expenses for all
purposes, including the maintenance of
its costly royal family, would be only
$175, 1000. 900.
1T was not from ignorance Of such
facts that the Lubbock resolution was
voted down. England is thoroughly
committed to an imperial policy. and
from all over the world want only so
much peace as does not conflict with it.
They want English control of Africa,
as well as of the countries occupied by
British colonies or British troops And
so long as this is their spirit the adoption
of arbitration resolutions in their con-
crosses Will go only for what it is worth"

The Measure of Value

Editor Herald: You are kind enough
to state in today's issue that interviews
on the silver question will appear. 1t
would be a God-send If some thing clear
TO the ordinary mind could be evolved
from the present financial muddle. One
thing, however. stands out in unmistak-
able prominence to any one willing to
see facts. So long as the currency could
be diluted at pleasure by the injection
of any measure of values except gold,
there was danger to the creditor classes
of being paid off in deprecated money,
instead of what they are pleased to call
honest money!" How easy 1t is to start
cry of dishonest money, or dishonest
anything. And the unthinking take it
all In. There never was a human inven-
tion so we'll contrived for wholesale rob-
berry. as this same honest money" the
'gold-bug" partisans are making such
a howl about!
They want a measure of value which
they can control In other words they
want measure of values which they
can lengthen or shorten It pleasure If
silver is admitted as money this cam
not be so readily accomplished. Gold is
no more measure of value than wheat.
and should not be as much so. What is
required in a work-a-day world is
measure of value that is immobile, like
the foot or yard of English measure.
What a confusion of mechanics would

the liberty and availed themselves of
it, to lengthen or shorten their measure
at pleasure? That is the system of So
called finance today. What else does
it amount to. when the so-called "hon-
est money" is so limited as to be able to
withdraw it from use. in order to raise
Its price in the markets. or lower the
price of everything else until the sharks
buy up all they want? Now, let us hear
no more of this false alarm about dis
honest money, while the thieves are at
tempting to grind out public opinion
through subsidized press
One kind of money is just as honest as
another, measured by the true gauge of
values. labor Labor is the only real
gauge of values. 1t only remains for an
equitable congress of all nations to fix
a unit. and agree upon a Standardized
it be bushel of wheat 'or a cord of
wood, or ton of coal, or a pound of
meat of any kind, that can be easily
determined upon, as relative standard.
AS it is now, the holders of one metal
alone are able to lower or raise the
price of labor and all the products of
labor at pleasure. Poor, weak. human
nature, in it's demoralized condition,
Is not able to withstand the terrible
temptation to robbery and consequent
disaster everywhere visible from this
so-called "honest-money" business?

The Baron Won Berlepsoh, who start
ed in 1890 to knock out socialism in Ger
many by instituting some of the empe-
ror's pet panaceas for real or fancied
social complaints, has been resigned" :"
The baron and the remedies he was
armed with failed to prevent the rising
of the tide of socialism, but the baron
was either unable to see or unwilling to
acknowledge the impotency of his ef-
forts, and in spite of imperial instruc-
tions, kept on reforming. And now he
has been given chance to think about
the why and the wherefore of his fail
ure. If the socialists of Germany are
right in what they preach, imperial ef-
forts to stay their progress will be fu-
tile. If they are wrong, they can be
undone by being shown up in their error.
But neither governmental makeshifts
nor governmental tyranny will avail to
down them.
