whether great or little, was produced
by the common action of all the great
nations, can be undone by one of them
acting alone. He has to show that
the gold standard is the cause of all
our woes, although the most prosperous
years of our national life saw that
standard in full effect and less money
in circulation than there is now. 1t is
the cause. not the man, that makes
advocacy difficult. Mr.. Bryan is in

Why Such Wide Difference I'm the

To the Editor Of the Globe.
I notice that the gold standard papers are
making much Of noise about Mexican dol
lars, and the fact that they may be bought
for 80 cents In this country. Now, every
intelligent man knows that inside Of the
United States Mexican dollars are not money.
They possess none Of the functions Of money
whatever. They are worth simply the market
price of the silver that Is in them. l wish
70 ask you a question, and I trust you will
give 1t candid answer. II the congress Of
the United States should pass an act making
Mexican dollars a full legal tendon for all
debts, public and private, within the United
States, do you think after that Mexican dol
lars would be selling in St. Paul for so cents2
Again. notice that the gold standard peo-
pie have extraordinary bowels of compassion
for three classes Of people, viz: The poor
laboring man, the poor widows who have
money In savings banks, and the holders of
insurance policies. It is argued by the GOLD
standard people that in case free coinage of
silver is established, these three classes will
be defrauded by having what Is due them
paid in 50-cent dollars.
see easy way out of this difficulty
Let those good, honest, conscientious gold
people, who employ labor, and who would
not under any circumstances pay out So

pay gold. Let the savings banks and insur-
ance companies at once make contracts with
holders Of their obligations to pay them in
gold. The savings bank people and the in

1T rs A GREAT CLIMATE.

The superiority of our climate over
others, which we have frequent oe-
casion to boast, has seldom been more
manifest than during the past week
or more Of excessively high tempera-
ture. Practically the same conditions
prevailed throughout the whole United
States east of the Rocky mountains
The hot wave was universal, although
not covering the entire territory at the
same time. But from east to west each
number of days to the same range of
temperature Thus, we had a week
here with the nineties, and st. Paul
marked one. day on the chart as the
hottest point in the United States. This
great torrid zone has moved eastward,
and while we are experiencing our first
cessation Of the heat, the Atlantic sea-
board is feeling the full force of tropi-
cal conditions. Now this unusual con-
dition has passed and left us practically
scatheless. There is no list of fatalities
following the prevalence here of I'M
usual and physically almost unbearable
temperature. The people of Minnesota
were exceedingly uncomfortable for a
number of days, and chat is about all
there was of it. Even in the most
crowded parts of our city there was
only discomfort, and life was not made
the sacrifice Of these unusual weather
conditions
AS the hot wave swept eastward,
however, We find it, though not gather
ing strength as measured in degrees
by the thermometer, yet acquiring a
deadly power to PROSTATE and destroy
men, women and children. The death
list in the cities from Chicago eastward
is something almost appalling. The
difference is not due to anything in
the constitutions Of the people, or to
their conditions of housing and of food
1t is the greater relative humidity of
the atmosphere to the east and south
of Minnesota that makes high tenn
peratures positively fatal Life goes
out under such conditions like a candle
plunged into carbonic acid gas. The
people of Minnesota can endure tenn
peratures that destroy others without
the thought Of actual danger to them
selves. There is no season of the year,
and there are no climatic conditions
which have become familiar to man,
in which the climate of Minnesota does
not demonstrate its vast superiority to
that of any other portion of the coun-
try.
