CERNUSCHI ON FREE COINAGE.
What the Eminent Economist Says About
the United States Acting Alone,

Henri Cernuschi was the famous
French writer who won fame as a cham
pion of international b~imetallism and
an opponent of independent bimetallism
by any single nation. He has been fire.
quently quoted by advocates of the gold
standard in this country in their en-
deavor to combat the arguments of the
advocates of '16 to L." Therefore the
following, which comprises the closing
paragraphs of an article written for the
Paris Economists, is of interest:
The present monetary policy Of the
United States is consequently very ad-
%vantageous to the interests Of England,
a gold monometallic country, but it is
utterly ruinous as regards the foreign
financial relations of the United States,
and especially for its native producers.
This is why, inasmuch as England's
attitude prevents the realization of in
ternational bimetallism and condemns
one half of the world to gold mono
metallism and the other half to silver
recommendation. 1 would not hesitate,
were | a citizen of the United States,
to become-I, Cernuschi, the father of
internati onal b~imetallism, as l am ev-
erywhere called-a silver monometal-
list.
From a theoretical point of view, the
free coinage of silver at 16 to /, re-es-
tablished by the United States without
the concurrence Of Europe, would be a
vicious solution, but it would neverthe-
less be a step in the direction of inter
national b~imetallism; for, under the
regime of the new standard, the pro-
ductive power of the United States
would receive so enormous an impulse,
and this development would have such
a disastrous effect upon the economic
and financial interests of England and
the other European nations now gov
erned by the gold standard, hat it may
be confidently predicted in advance that
the course of events would force the
adoption of international bimetallism
as the only true solution ever upon
those who today deny the possibility
and efficacy of it.

must be annually shipped to Europe to
pay our increasing gold interest. 1t
means that we have committed our
selves to an financial system,
and that the longer it lasts the greater
our suffering must be in the end.
The gist of the financial question is
in this: Men who deal in money are in
terested i'll making the property they
deal in more and more valuable. This
is a natural instinct in dealers in any
property. A cattle man in Kansas who
owns TO-, 900 head Of cattle knows that
he could make his 10, 900 head of cattle
worth considerably more to him if he
could cause the sudden death of half
the other cattle in the world.
The money dealer understands this
principle, and knowing that money is
made by law he has gone to where the
law is made and caused the destruction
Of one-half the money of the world. He
is a dealer i'll money. 1t is the property
that he studies. When he makes his
money so valuable that it will buy more
and more of your property and mine,
he is the gamer. When the farmers
wheat exchanges for less and less mon
ey, the farmer grows relatively poorer
than the nan who owns the money.
The unfortunate circumstance that adds
additional gravity to the situation is
that the money dealer deals in a proper
ty upon which all civilization is de-
pending. 1t is the blood of civilization
in which he deals, and when he absorbs
it he strangles civilization. When he
depletes the arteries of m by
boarding about him this blood of civil
lization-society, arts, commemorative
lization itself is affected.
Free coinage of silver will relieve the
strain Oh gold and break the grip Of the
money lender, whose fingers are now
mercilessly Tightening around the throat
of this government. All is at stake in
this struggle-our families, society and
the republic itself. H. Harvey in

The English seem to take no &C.

The Country's Growt',.

increase, excluding Alaska, has been

miles, OF three and tive-eighths, but
the growth of population has been
from 5, 1908, 4S3 to 81, 622, $50, or near
ly twelvefold. In 1900 the inhabit-
ants were a little less than z to q

less than 81; in 1890 they yer over
81. The place where the population
is densest is the District of Colum-

SlST OF THE QUESTION.
"Coin" Makes Some Clear Statements on
the Leading Topic of the Day.

"Coin" Makes Some Clear Statements on
the Leading Topic of the Day.
1t is u ommon statement that free
coinage of silver will run gold out of
circulation. Bimetallism contemplates
that from time to time one or the
other of the metals will be hard to get
and will go out of circulation. 1t is the
right to use either metal and the fact
that the other metal is accessible and
may be used that constitute the princi-
pal merit of bimetallism. There is a
calamity when Il metal goes out of
circulation if it is the only metal the
law has provided for use as primary
money. But there is no calamity on one
OF the metals going out of circulation if
the other metal is accessible, the minis
open to its free coinage and the people
have the option to use it. Gold is now
out of circulation. There is no gold
among the people. 1t is cornered in the
bank vaults. 1t is leaving us to go to
Europe to pay $3.50, 600, 900 annually as
interest on our gold debts authorized
by the act of 1878. Under the gold
standard it is only Il question of time
when all our gold will leave us. We
produce about $40, 900, 900 a year Of
gold and are sending $3.50, 900, 600 a
year to Europe as interest on debts of
ours held by foreigners. The gold being
shipped back to us is borrowed gold
that is increasing our gold debt to Eu-
rope and intensifying the situation. 1t

CHILDREN OF CHINATOWN.
They Make the Most Picturesque FeatuI
of a Suualid Quarter,

They Make the Most Picturesque Feature
of a squalid Quarter.
While the Chinese quarter of San
Francisco is picturesque and might
we'll be taken for part of the Chinese
empire, this picturesqueness covers
a multitude of sins. What delights
the eye often offends the nose, and
a worse combination of evil smells
can hardly be imagined than those
one meets in this crowded and filthy
quarter.
It's picturesqueness, however, is
its redeeming feature, and the pref
test things that greet the eye are
the bright eyed and quantity clad
little children.
The streets abound with children
of all ages and conditions, and while
nearly all of them are born in this
country many r as ignorant of the
English language as if they had
been brought up in the heart of Chi
ma. Others, again, true "street
Arabs" though Chinese, are too ia.
miliar with slang phrases of the
language of their adoption.
AS a general rule, however, their
education is by no means neglected.
In this strange and curious meeting
of the Oldest civilization of the east
with that of the youngest of the
west queer neighborhoods are some
times formed. Christian churches
are found next to Chinese temples,
and while the organ of the former

many bright, studious little pigtailed
pupils, all eager to gain an Ameri-
can common school education. A
few doors from this institution is a
school kept by an old Chinese school
master-a wise and learned man
especially imported from China to
teach these little pagans the wisdom
of Confucius and other Chinese
sages.
The pupils of the former school
are taught to read and write Eng
lish as well as Chinese. They learn
arithmetic from our we'll known
textbooks, and also are taught the
true geography of the world. In the
latter school they puzzle their little
brains W. problems in arithmetic
on the Chinese counting board. In
Chinese geography they learn that,
with the exception of a few small,
half civilized countries, China rep.
resents and controls the world.
In addition they are taught also
polite department., to read and write
the complicated Chinese characters,
as well as the teachings of their
great philosopher Confucius. In 9TH
er words, they receive the same edu-
cation as that of a boy living in the
shadow of the great wall of China.
A most pleasing and notable feature
in this school is the politeness with
which the pupils treat one another.

Is of these little boys marching out
of school in single file. Each carried
his counting board and books under
his arm, and all chatted merrily as
they passed along. When they reach

one or more of them left the rest,
all stopped a moment, and made a
low bow to the departing ones, and
then went on their march, keeping
up the same ceremony until they
had all bowed one another home.
The boys who went to this Chinese
school were mostly the sons of
wealthy merchants, while those of
the public school, as arule, belonged
to the poorer classes. = Theodore

TELLER AND HIS LIKE.
Men Who In "A Great Crisis Stood Forth
as Patriots and Not as Partisans.

Men Who In "A Great Crisis Stood Forth
as Patriots and Not as Partisans.
Henry M. Teller has won for himself
a place i'll history. In a great crisis he
stood forth as u patriot. 1t is no easy
matter to sever the political ties of a
lifetime; it is no easy matter to stand
before Il hostile and angry crowd and
preach a gospel which they reject, but
Senator Teller had the courage to DO it.
Some shouted renegade, some called
him "a ''bolter," and hundreds Kissed
their venom at him, but the voice of his
conscience rose above the din of the
multitude, drowning out all other
sounds, and that conscience called him
patriot. He was present at the birth
of the Republican party, he espoused the
cause for which it stood and brought to
its support all the energy of a strong
and vigorous mind, all the zeal of a
warm and generous heart. Years ago
he noted with apprehension the grow
ing influence of the capitalistic classes
in the party's councils, but his love for
the party was so deep that his hope over
came his fears. But when the conven-
ton at st. Louis bowed to the will Of
Wall street and under the threat of a
withdrawal of campaign contributions
accepted u platform written by the
money changers, he was left no choice,
and abandonment of the party became a
duty.
Issues make parties. The money ques-
ton is now the paramount issue, and
voters must make their party associa-
tons fit their convictions. The example
of Senator Teller is taken for the sake
of illustration. He is conspicuous be-
cause of his great ability and high Off
him are deserving of like praise. Du-
bois, Cannon, Hartman and all the 9TH
ers who followed Teller out of the con-
vention have practiced the same virtues
and given evidence of the same moral
courage.
Congressman Towne, who, though
not a delegate, was present and partici-
pated in all their plans, is worthy to
stand by the side of Teller. His state
conventions, both Democratic and Re.
publican, declared for gold, and yet his
convictions are so deep that he is will
ing to stand by them, ever though it
may mean political death to him.
Disintegration has begun, and it can
have but Il result. The west and
south, the great wealth producing sec
tions of the country, will dominate the
government and restore equality in leg
islation. Omaha World Herald.
