Although the address OF Lord Chief Jus
tice Russell holds out the hope that In
ternationai arbitration is not impossible
OF accomplishment. his language is en-
t.rely free from any OF that Mandy pamby
altruism 10 which we have been accus-
toned In the past from tho platform OF
Exeter hall. and whose chief apostle was
for so many years men OF the type OF
Lord Shaftssbury.
Il is fitting that Of all Americans who
might have been mentioned in connection
with his subject Lord Russell selects In
unconscious compliment the name OF
James G. Blaine. That name does not
fade: whenever any question involving
not merely the spirit OF Amerieanism but
OF manly Independence and breadth of
view Is discussed by statesmen, they turn
20 the plumed knight as the Mohammedan
turns 10 Mecca, or as Conkling said ne
turned to Thurman when his thoughts
were bent upon the common law.
II may be true, as some of the reports
have IL. that Lord Russell was encouraged
TO visit this country by statesmen of both
political parties because 1t was believed
that his presence, no less than the ex-
preston OF his well-known views. would
have tendency to promote peace and
good will between the United States and
England. Whatever share any man may
have had on either side OF the Atlantic in
securing his presence before the repre-
sentatives OF the American bar, carries
with II the highest credit. There I'M
doubtediy are, as Lord Russell said. even
greater calamities than war, but none the
less desirable is 1t to avert bloody strife
in an unworthy cause. and to avert such
an unworthy cause as should lead to
bloody strife.
The spirit which animates those who
favor international arbitration, the peace
full and civilized settlement OF national
differences, does not sleep until the trum-
pet OF war Is sounded 1t begins to ex-
ert its influence at the inception OF the
controversy. and by good judgment keeps
the Issue free from the language OF In
temperance and from the misconceptions

Ths state fair commissioners announce
that they propose giving this year the best
exhibition ever held. Owing to the fact
that the grounds at North Yakima were
not made completely Aady and that the
biennial state appropriation was not such
~ to warrant arrangements being made
for very pretcntious affair. the commits
sioners have never yet been able TO invite
the people Of Washington to the sort Of
fair contemplated when It was originally
put under the auspices Of the state. This
year will be the FIRST genuine opening un-
der favorable conditions. The exhibits
promise to be large and the various fair
attractions better than anything yet
brought together. The fair commissioners
have had many difficulties 10 contend with.
including hard times. but when the enter
prise Ia once xell started there can be lit
tie doubt that Il will be well supported and
patronlxed by the people OF the state.

VERY sIGNIFIoANr.

Senator Jones thinks the Democratic
sound money movement too insignificant
to notice. He counts much. however. on
the free silver Republican secession in the
far West. when. as matter OF fact, II Is
a. nothing compared with the great ma
iional Democratic revolt in all the states
east OF the Missouri river. This revolt
covers not only the older New England
and Middle states but II Is also particular
~ noticeable In some OF the great Western
states where false IDEAS Of currency have
taken roet In the past. Even IN Ken
lucky and other Southern states the OPP
position 20 the Chicago platform and the
candidates standing upon il Is growing in
Intensity. and after the Indianapolis con-
ventlon IL would not be surprising 20 see
tho former Democracy separated into two
camps OF about equal proportions. What
Senator Jones now thinks Insignificant is
likely to cut very significant agars la
November.

THE LApoarn Will SUFFER.

The silver mono-meialllsts say that with
fres silver We shah have high prices. This
II undoubtedly true so FAR as many COM
naodlsies are concerned. With a dollar
worth less intrlasieally than TIE present
gold dollar. thu prices or commodities
would rise sufficiently 20 make up the ar
ference between the value OF the gold iol-
lar snd the value Of tae deprecated silver
dollar. The price OF labor, however. would
charge bat slightly. az least Tor long

With cheap money the wages o. the work

WHY IT WOULD DECLINE.

The question has been asked IL the in
creased production OF gold viii not make
1t less valuable than It was. say five
years ago, and If that be the case wheth-
er the creditors to be paid In deprecated
gold win not be as badly off as IL they
were to be paid In silver.
That IL none of our business; IL the
debtor pays in the coin he agreed TO,
he has kept faith with the creditor and
maintained his own honor. liquidation
could only be charged II the debtor. after
contracting the debt, insisted that the
creditor should take some other payment
than that either stipulated or commonly
accepted as the medium OF payment
The United States coinage act does not
say what the value OF the gold dollar
shan be: II only defines. In order 10 save
any misunderstanding. dollar. 1t merely
declares that when the word dollar is
used. II means either gold dollar OF the
standard weight OF 2S.s grains or silver
dollar OF the weight OF sl255 grains troy
% standard silver. This proportion was
based upon the commercial valne OF the
two metals at the time the silver dollar
was adopted; but since that time the COM
merical value OF silver has declined and
the ratio Is now about 81 70 /. II debt
were contracted 10 he paid in silver in
1885, and since thar time the value o.
silver had declined Il would not be re-
pudlation 90 pay In silver even though
deprecated.
50 long as the government maintains the
parity Il is quite immaterial to either the
debtor or creditor whether payment f.
offered or demanded in either coin. That
parity can be maintained only SO long
as tho proportion OF silver to gold Is
not TOO great The government is ena blea
now to regulate the relative quantities.
bit OF course with free coinage that
would be utterly impossible. and no free
silver country Of the world ever sttsnnt-
ed e. or could sione maintain THE value
Of silver above rs actual market value.
That Is why the silver dollar. which is
now worth 20 cents. would become worth
only s. centz-or whatever the market
value o. silver might be.

The "Free' silver FalIacy.
New Orleans PicayunA.

The hopelessly weak point in any attempt
TO enrich the masses and establish pros
perity with unlimited silver coinage, or
any other fiat money. is that there Is no
provision for distributing the wealth. After
Mr.. Bryan shall become president and free
coinage shall be accomplished the people
who were so eager TO establish such a
conjuncture OF circumstances will finally
discover that they are no better of than
they were before. Not a man OF them will
be able to get dollar. whether worth 80
cents or otherwise. except in the same
way that money has always been got. II
must be obtained In the same sort OF hon.
est business or earned as wages. There is
no other way In which an honest penny
can be got.
