No Love For the Yankees.

Strangers often wonder at the fever Of
excitement into which the majority Of
Canadians sill work themselves at any
mention of fusion with the United
States. 1t seems almost illogical that
people should be unable calmly to dis
cuss the possibility of an alliance with
neighbors who in everything but the
most trifing details are one with them
selves. Probably not one Canadian in
ten has any Of the old loyalist blood in
his veins, nor for that matter has any
larger proportion of the citizens of the
United States claim to Revolutionary
descent.
But as the old antagonism to England
on the one side of the line is adopted by
the sons and grandsons of emigrants. so
upon the other the old United Empire
feeling still in a great measure inf1u-
ences public opinion. There is this Curl
Gus difference, however, that while 1t is
among the old and genuinely American
population that the greatest friendliness
to England will be found today, IN
Canada there are, on the ether hand. no
such outspoken haters, III a political
sense, of the United States as the de-
scendants of the old lCyalist settlers

The Issue In Pure Silver.

out of the question. for there is no di-
rect issue upon it, and consider the real
issue, silver.
A lump Of silver of certain size,
s714 grains inA eight, is today worth
50 cents. The Bryan proposition is that
the government shall stamp it dollar.
That would be fiat money making OF
the same sort as the governments set
ting its printing presses to work and
turning out without limit dollars of pa
per.
1t is fiat dishonesty. 1t is pregnant
with trouble for every man, laborer or
capitalist, who lives by industry, and
it would leave to the United States the
hurt of lasting mistrust in the mind Of
every industrial investor and leader.

Preparing For the Paris Fair.

Every European power having off,
cially promised to Ee represented at the
exhibition CT 1900, the period of active
preparation may be said to have begun.
That which chiefly occupies public at
tenticn in Paris just now Is the compe-
tition for tie designs Of the two build
ings INTENDED to replace the Palals de
l'InCus The public will be admitted
to see these ard the verdict OF tine jury
may be expected soon.
The two palaces will be on the
right and left Ct the road from the
Champs Elysees to the new lnvalldes
bridge over the Seine. They will be
utilized during the run Ct the exhibition
as art galleries and afterward for the
purposes of annual salons, horse shows
and other fetes or exhibitions now held
in the Palais de l'lrdustrie.
The 90 designs are worthy OF minute
inspection. Unfortunately the fault OF
being purely monumental, with only
secondary attention 10 the detail OF ed1-
fees intended for tens of thousands of
daily visitors, undCrlies each design.
The choice OF the jury Will propaply De
made among the following:
M. Girauit has in the main followed
the original design of the Palals de
rIndustrie, with great improvements in
view of the Salon and Concours Hip
pique. NJ Esquie has, on the other
hand, taken the central cupola of the
Champ de Mars as his starting point.
MN. Deglane and Binet include tri-
umphal avenue of statuary in their plan.
which is more grandiose than practical.
MN. Mewes, Gautier and Hermant's
designs are full of beauty and rather
startling originality. Prizes of from
4, 900 to 10, 900 francs will be awarded
to the five most successful competitors.

MONEY AND THE CREDITOR CLASS.
When the Measure of Value Varies, the
Laborer Gets the Worst of 1t.

When the Measure of Value Varies. the
Laborer Gets the Worst of 1t.
Probably no question that has ever
been made political issue appeals more
strongly to our selfishness than the mon
ey question. The value of all the prop
erty we possess is expressed in the terms
of money, and not our property only but
our labor.
A horse, a COW, corner lot, share
of stock, bond or note are all meas
ured as to their transferable value by
money. They are worth so much SO
our labor, whether in the professions,
the skillful trades or in more manual
employments. We are worth so much
an hour or a day or week by the serv-
ices 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-
answerable that government or COM
munity should establish the highest
standard of money whereby to measure
those exchanges of labor and property
which constitute the business of the
world If this is not done, and the meas
ure of value becomes variable, who suf-
fers? The men who have large resources
behind them or the men who have moth
ing but their hands and brains? Most
assuredly the latter. A well known

and could not affect him, FOR he could
make money whether we were on gold
or silver basis. So he could, and so can
any capitalist 1t is the man who de-
ponds upon his labor that would suffer
by deprecated currency.
1t is the creditor class of the COM
munity, therefore, which is most inter-
ested in preserving the stability OF the
currency and its high value. But OF
whom is the creditor class composed?
Manifestly Of those to whom something
is due from day to day, from week to
week and from month to month. These
are the laboring people, the men at the
desk, at the counter, at the forge, at
the bench and at the pillow. The toiler
who patiently yields the shovel and
the pick when nightfall comes is cred
itor, and he is entitled to be paid for
his days labor in the best money the
country affords. And so throughout the
whole round Of employment where men
and women receive wages.
Is it not, then, inexplicable that .
large proportion of those who in the
sweat of their face earn their daily
bread, laying by perhaps trifie from
week to week toward a rainy day. de-
posting it in savings bank-that
these should be led away by the cry for
cheap money? What do they want with
cheap money, or ''poor mans" money?
If there is any difference, why should
they not have rich mems money?-Chi-

CLEVER JOE STORMo.
An Educated Simian Who VIII Do Some
Talking When He's Bit Older.

AhiklnR w men mes ~ DIV OhhDA'
Joe Storms has returned to this city
full of hard boiled eggs and bright
prospects 1t is just one year since san
Francisco was honored by visit from
Mr.. Storms, aad he comes back to us
much improved mentally, socially and
physically. He is now connected with
sort of pork and bean menagerie and
will probably remain for an indefinite
period, as Joseph has not been long
enough in tie show business to know
how to walk the ties
J. Storms is 4-year-old Crang outang
who landed here fl, M TIE orient on the
steamer Coptic last July i'll charge OF
his guardian, Captain Storms OF Taco
ma The sailor commanded bark ply
ing between the islands CT Borreo and
Sumatra, and Joe was captured during
trip to the former place. He received
nice personal notices in the papers while
passing through this port on his way to
Tacoma to be educated.
The beast graduated with honor and
is now famous throughout the country
as the most learned orang outang alive.
His picture has been in the magazines.
The smart simian shivered and shud-
dered in tox ON the Oregon dock yes
terday morning, having arrived from
Portland by steamer the previous even
ing He is III doubtful company, having
associated with two stuffed deer, one
NANCY emu and skunk called Trilby.
However, Joe is all right himself and
has learned many things i'll college at
Tacoma that may prove useful to him
in years to come if he lives.
One Of his accomplishments is to wear
clothes just like man who has clothes.
At night he takes them off, placing the
trousers between the mattresses to pre-
serve the crease affected by those who
know the correct thing in dress Joe
also smokes cigarettes, but does not In
hale. Be it said to lis credit that Mr..
Storms prefers pipe if he can get it.
Those who saw ice On his first visit
will be panied to note that he now has
a bicycle face. He learned to ride the
bike and has joined several century runs
in the nor, Invest. While hiking the
orang outang wears an appropriate cos
tune, including golf socks and striped
cap. Once he was arrested in Portland
for searching, bit was allowed to go
with reprima::d from the judge, who
said he would allow 10 more such mon
key business
Other clever tricks are writing to his
girl in a fine Italian hand, drinking
from bottle and replacing the cork,
leading Friday hight cotillons and car
rying the hod.
Joe's owner says that he can do every
thing Lut talk The OILY reason be does
not is because of lis extreme youth. he
has a tongue, teeth and palate and
could speak If he had anything to say.
He is pleased with cur climate. The
scholar has gained in flesh since his last
visit, and his dark brown brow IS
"sicklied DER with the pale cast OF
thought. He is slightly bald, too, from
wearing his cap in the hou1e and devot-
ing too much time TO study, but his

Ware Farmers Not Fooled.

An interesting straw comes from In
dianapolis. A few days ago the en-
ployees of large manufacturing estab-
lishment in that city were asked whether
or not they favored the gold standard.
OF nearly 1900 workingmen who were
interviewed 900 were outspoken for the
maintenance of the present money
standard. Only 500 declared against 1t,
and los said they were undecided.

Measured in the cheap money of the

prices a great deal. Cheap silver dollars
would affect labor now in exactly the
same way. The working classes always
