where everything is free, where there
is no law of legal tender, no legisla-
tive fat that mo aey has swept every
other out of use; that that money,
gold, stands alone, unrivaled, unap-
proachable in it's eminent fitness for
this service, owing it's distinction to
natural selection and the operation
of the free forces of trade, how can
we regard these efforts in any other
light than that of perverted intelli
gence and useless endeavor?
We do not initiate against the most
intimate commercial relations with
foreign countries. That is the tend
ency of modern industrial develop
ment, and it is tendency which
should be fostered and stimulated.
No nation can make rapid progress
in isolation. 1t is of the highest i'm
portance to the United States to main
tain her relation to foreign countries
in healthy condition, and to do this
she must maintain a monetary system
which shall be in close relation to the
systems of those countries with which
she is wont to trade. Walker says: "'In,
no degree whatever can the money OF
any commercial community depart
from the money in which information
al balances are discharged, without
inducing obstruction and creating APP
prehensions to which modern trade,
with its highly developed and sensi-
tive organization, will not subject it.
self, or will do so only upon the pay
ment of heavy fine on the part of
the community otfending.n
For this reason alone, if for no
other, we should hesitate either to
depart widely from our own traditions
or to antagOnize the commercial in
stincts of the civilized world. Our
monetary system is no doubt imper-
feet. We have been conspicuously
unsuccessful in our attempt to estab-
lish the bimetallic standard; we have
wasted $170,000,0 in the forced
purchase of silver bullion which has
deprecated in the hands of the gov
eminent; we have tiukered the tariff
until the revenue is no longer suffi-
cient to defray the expenses of gov
eminent; our gold redemption fund
has been impaired, compelling US, in
time of peace, to increase our nation
al debt $3.50. 900, 900 by new issues of
government bonds; everywhere there
is dearth Of employment and stagna-
ton of business: the Canadian banks
have begun to discount our national
currency; the world is closely watch
ing us, the breath of suspicion is al
ready upon us, and our securities held
abroad will soon be 1ocking home
ward.
Shall we, at this critical moment,
when danger threatens us and disaster
is imminent, fly in the face of every
great nation, ignore the lessons Of
history, and, by the Inauguration of a
system of coinage which violates
sound business principles, national
honor, and the very laws of nature,
plunge headlong into utter and ire
trievable ruin? S. NJ.

The Conventions Work.

After an exciting session OF two
days the Republican state conven-
ton nominated Major Edward SEQ
field, Of Oconto, last Thursday on
the sixth ballot. The bitter antag-
onism, which it was expected the con-
vention would develop between the
two leading candidates for governor,
resulted only in a friendly rivalry for
the honor, and when the motion to
adjourn was carried no sore spots
were left which will have any effect on
the party welfare. Mr.. La Toilette
conducted vigorous campaign and
developed surprising strength, but
the balloting showed that it was not
substantial or Of the staying quality
which his managers claimed. His
close Identity with certain elements
weakened him to a considerable ex-
tent. The rest Of the ticket was re-
nominated by reclamation.
One Of the most noteworthy fea-
lures of the convention was the
strength shown by Judge Emil
Baensch in the balloting for governor.
Starting with SO votes on the first
ballot, he made steady gains on each
successive one, attesting we'll his
popularity. Mr.. Baensch' campaign
was clean and gentlemanly through
out-one that leaves him friendly
with all and in excellent standing.
While he entered the field perhaps too
late to be IN the neck and-neck race.
he was very prominent as a dark
horse, and the nomination would
without any doubt haye fallen to
him, had there been no changes in the
standing Of the two leaders. Mr..
Baensch has lost nothing by his can
didacy, however, and his legion of
friends are sure to rejoice in his
occupancy OF the governors chair
some day.
Major Scofeld is an exceptionally
strong candidate, with a wide &C
quaintaince, and extremely popular.
He is Pennsylvania by birth, but
has resided in Wisconsin since boy
hood. In Northern Wisconsin, where
he has extensive business interests,
he will add many votes to the party
strength. Throughout the state the
work of the convention meets with
the hearty appreciation of Republi-
cans aud not a few Democrats.

WOMEN AND MONEY.
A Mistaken Notion OF Mon hat Is All Zoo

A Mistaken Notion OF Mon hat Is All Too
Prevalent.
The opinion has generally prevailed
among men, or at least has been ex.
pressed for centuries, that women are
densely and incurably ignorant about
money. HE knows no more of money
than a woman" is almost proverb.
The absurdest stories are perpetually
told of woman's total incapacity to
learn anything about money, and some
of them are doubtless believed. What
was current ages ago in regard to
women is current now and is almost as
likely to gain credit as it was then.
Men are apt to forget what extraordin-
airy changes woman has undergone in
this century--in the last half particu-
larly. She may have been a financial
simpleton in the remote past; she sure
ly is not now, in most cases.
Where she is wholly uniformed on
the subject her lack of information is
commonly due to the man or men near
est her. He or they fail to give her
any instruction, and then laugh at her
defects, as is much their custom in
other things. Man gets his knowledge
of practical affairs from constant ex-
perience, and wonders that woman
does not get hers without any expert
ence. When he tries to teach her
something about money-its value, its
relations, its purchasing power-he
finds her quick to learn, and his small
exertion in her behalf amply recon
pensed. Who has known woman
