FAvoRs ARBITRATION.
Comments of tho British Press on ofnoiAl
Statements.


London, Aug. 1S.-The statement con-
cerning arbitration made by the mar
quis of Salisbury when he was installed
as lord warden of the Cirque ports is
attracting widespread attention here.
The Times, Daily News and Daily Chron-
icle in editorial articles comment upon
the Importance of the premicr's state
ments, and the Pail Mall Gazette con-
cludes n column leading article on the
same subject with the following: MIR.
Ralfour's and the marquis of Salisoury's
arbitration statements have caused un-
feigned satisfaction to thousands of
members of our common Anglo-SaXon
stock on both sides of the Atlantic"
The remarks of Mr.. Balfour alluded to
by the Pail Mall Gazette were made at
the closing of parliament. He said the
government was still considering the
latest proposals of Secretary Olney,
which are regarded as opening the way
for an equitable and early settlement OF
the dispute. The statement was re-
ceived with tremedous cheers
| The st. James Gazette says the coun-
try will receive the arbitration news
with the greatest satisfaction, but
| further on the same paper remarks that
| it refuses to believe that the marquis
| of Salisbury will "be so feeble as to yield
to Secretary Olney's demand for the in
clusion of the settled districts of Ven
ezuela in the arbitration scheme"
The Globe, while completely indorsing
the arbitration movement. remarks:
"The new arrangement, whatever its
details, should certainly define IN the
most exact terms the cases which lie
within and without the Monroe doc
trine."
The Bradford Observer says it UNDER
stands that, with the sanction of the
marquis of Salisbury, Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, the British ambassador at Wash
ington, who is now in this city. en-
Rlained to Sir William Vernon Harcourt,
the opposition leader in the house of
commons, the full situation of affairs
regarding the proposed arbitration,
prior to Mr. Balfour's remarks on the
subject in the house of commons, and
that it was due to this that the leader
expressed his satisfaction in strong
terms. He said he thought the house
would regard Balfour's statement as
emNently satisfactory, adding THAI
considering the anxiety felt upon the
subject throughout the country, and
since the negotiations had assumed
shape which led to the belief that the
papers on the subject would be com
/. municated to the house at an early date
, he hoped they would be communicated
, tc the public as soon as possible.
To this Mr.. Balfour replied: "Yes, il
is the desire of the government to com
municate the papers as soon as this car
, be done without prejudice to the public
? interests"
, The Bradford Observer then state
: that it has been arranged that the set
t tied districts question is to be solved il
r the following manner:i "If they arr
1 held to belong to Venezuela the British
? settlers are to be entitled 10 withdraw
1 and will be compensated for whateve
: losses they may sustain by such with

MONEY AND CREDITORS.
When tho Measure of Value varies, th,
Lnboror Gets the Worst of 1t.

When tho Measure of Value Varies, the
Lnborer Gets the Worst of 1t.
Probably no question that has ever
been made political issue appeals more
strongly to our selfshness than the
money question. The value of all the
property we possess is expressed in the
terms of money, and not our property
only but our labor.
A horse, n COW, corner lot, a share
of stock, bond or a note are all meas
ured as to their transferable value by
money. They are worth so much. So
OF our labor, whether in the profess
sions, the skillful trades or in more
manual employments. We are worth so
much an hour or day or a week by the
services we are able to render, and we
are paid accordingly. The result is, if
we are not fools, that we want the best
money that circulates in exchange for
our services or our property, and the
less our income the more we want the
best.
The contention, therefore, seems un-
a1swerable that q government or O
community should establish the high
est ststandard of money whereby to meas
ure those exchanges of labor and prop
erty which constitute the business of
the world. If this is not done and the
measure of value becomes variable, who
suffers? The men who have large re-
cources behind them or the men who
have nothing but their hands and
brains? Most assuredly the latter. A
well-known banker of this town has
often been heard TO say that the money
standard did not and could not affect
him, for he could make money whether
we were on a gold or silver basis. Sc
he could, and so can any capitalist. II
is the man who depends upon his labor
that would suffer by deprecated cur
rency.
1t is the creditor class of the com
munity, therefore, which is most inter
ested in preserving the stability of tht
currency and it's high value. But o.
whom is the creditor class composed
Manifestly of those to whom something
is due from day to day, from week tt
week and from month to month. Thes'
are the laboring people, the men at thu
desk, at the counter, at the forge, a
the bench and at the plow. The toile
who patiently wields the shovel anc
the pick when nightfall comes is cred
flor, and he is entitled to be paid 10
his days labor in the best money tn
country affords. And so throughout tn
whole round of employment where me-
and women receive wages.
Is it not, then, inexplicable that
large proportion of those who in tn
sweat of their face earn their dali
bread, laying by perhaps a trifie fror
I week to week toward rainy day, de
5 posting it in u savings bank-tha
t these should be led away by the cry fo

A TRIUMPH ,EoR oLNEY.
Lord Salisbury Yields aD ImportRnt Point
Regarding tho Venezuelan Controversy.

Lord Salisbury Yields aD ImportRnt Point
Regarding tho Venezuelan Controversy.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The cable
report from London that Lord Sails
bury has yielded to Secretary Olney
on the crucial point of the Venezuela
negotiations, that of including the set
tied portions of the disputed tract in
the proposed arbitration, is regarded
as an important development by those
interested in the subject. This inclu-
sion of the Settled districts" has been
the chief obstacle in the way of arbi-
tration, so that If the report of its re-
moval is confirmed the two govern
ments appear to be nearer to an ami
cable agreement than at any time since
the trouble began.
Lord Salisbury from the first has in
sisted that this settled district was
sovereign soil, which could not be SUBJ
jected to the Judgment of arbitrators.
Secretary Olney has urged that the
omission of this settled portion from
arbitration would defeat the whole
scope of the arbitration, as the unset
tied, or worthless, sections were not
what Venezuela contended for.
ldJeSU NlSW Vi bllS pIhoO Ndo
presented in brief by Mr.. Storrow, a
lawyer of Boston. The Storrow brief
was laid before the Venezuelan COM
mission as part of the Venezuela
case, but aside from this it's line OF
argument was similar to that taken
by the secretary of state.
Mr.. Storrow pointed out that the
"settled district" was, in fact, but lit
tie settled; that the number of British
colonists there was comparatively in
significant; that their improvements,
on which Lord Salisbury had laid sucf
stress, were of the most meager ant
primitive kind and that the whole
money value of existing British settle
ments, houses, improvements, etc.
would be comparatively small sum
From this the conclusion was draw
THAT these so-called settled district
should not stand in the way of the ad
justment of SO large question.
There has been no intimation tina
this view was shared by the British
authorities until the cable dispatcl
stating on what is believed to b
inspired authority that the point wa
conceded by Lord Salisbury. The ful
ther suggestion is made that cash pay
ment will be made for the improve
ments of the British settlers in cas-
Venezuela is awarded the territory.

Silver Patriots In 1873.

The advocates of the cheap silver
standard pretend that the white metal
is patriotic" while gold is disloyal.
One-half of the arguments for 5o-cent
dollars consists of appeals to patriotism
for votes in favor of the american
money" and against the traitor gold"
of England.
In the happy days before 1873 the
bullion value of the metal in silver
dollar was worth on an average about
$1.O3. Did the noble-hearted, patriotic
silver miners rush to pour their prod
ucts into our mints, so that the coun-
try would have plenty of money? Not
by great deal. They were the kind
of patriots who shipped their silver Off
to France as fast as they could send it
in order to get little higher price for
it. They knew at that time metallic
money was scarce in the United States,
but they didn't care for that. They
wanted the highest price for silver bull
lion, and they therefore sold it in the
dearest market. Noobdy blames them
for doing so. But now that the price
abroad has gone down, and they want
Uncle Sam to give them more for their
bullion than its market value, they talk
of patriotism" and pretend that they
wish to get their silver made into dol
lars in order to benefit the country.
Nice kind of patriots they are-men who
will send their silver away when it is
badly needed and try to unload it on
the government when it is cheap and
