THE MORBID Discomfort.


A housemaid in lower town put an
offer Of her services into a paper, and
within two day forty housewives
called to engage her. A gentleman put
an advertisement in a paper stating
that he wanted girl to work in his
office as stenographer, and received
seventy-two replies. At one of the Of
fees where ladies try to provide en-
ployment for women, the applicants
want sewing or light work they can do
at home. One of these, with want
showing plainly in her dress, and on
whose face hunger had written its
lines, was persuaded to take house
service. In a few weeks she returned
looking well, her plump cheeks show
ing ample nutrition, and again wanted
sewing or similar work. She preferred
to suffer hunger, under-feed and want
rather than have good and sufficient
food and fair wages as house servant.
On the other hand. a hundred young
men will answer an advertisement for
a clerkship where one will respond to
the call for a mechanic, and in the
ranks of unskilled labor two or more
men hunt the one job.
These are abnormal conditions, an
swering to those we find in the polit-
ical field. They both give evidence of
discomfort that has lost its health
and become morbid. To be dissatis-
fed with ones lot, to aspire to some
thing esteemed better, to endeavor to
make the conditions of life easier and
pleasanteI, is natural and healthy
state. 1t remains so just as long as
effort is patient, willing to endure the
disagreeable present while gaining
means to secure the pleasant future.
1t ceases to be so the moment impa-
thence comes to chafe at the sloWness,
to make despicable the lower rounds of
the ladder, and to incite to attempts
to reach more rapidly the upper ones.
The girl whose mother is a better one
for the service she did as a house
maid disdains work she deems mental,
and seeks to turn her smattering OF
schooling to account in some vocation
she regards as more genteel. The boy
whose father learned trade gets a
higher notion of his place in life from
the little draught he has taken at the
Pferian spring, and scorns the bench
and wise where his father laid the
foundations for his successful life.
The same morbid discomfort excites
the political world. Masses of men
have seen other men assisted in wealth
getting by a fostering government,
and they are but human in their de-
sire to have aid for themselves. By
means direct and Indirect men have
gone with startling rapidity from COM
parative poverty to great wealth. The
crowd, seeing it, have grown impa-
tient of the old-fashioned method of
acquired competence by the small
economies that make slow accretions
and competence the reward of years
of labor. With the disregard of atten-
ton to the little economies are lost the
savings. wasted on trifies, that would
have grown into capital Incomes are
fully lived up to and luck is trusted
to either bring opportunity and riches
or TO provide shelter for the inevitable
rainy day.
The conditions are the product of

the revolution wrought in the last
half Of the century by two causes. the
war and inventions. The tremendous
changes they brought into industry and
habits have unsettled the old rela-
tions and ideas of men. The tendency
OF nature Is ever towards an equi-
hbrium after disturbance. But 1t
takes time for the new adjustments
to be made. In the interim there Is
tumult, friction. discomfort, agitation.
We are undergoing that process now.
The benefits we gat from the revolu-
ton are compensated by the discom-
forts of discomfort. Time is the healer.
Legislatures are impotent and irritat-
Ing. Let us be content to wait.

precedent at their recent state convention
when they threw out LAWYER, McCafferty and
Cutcheon. They were regularly elected dele
gates from Ramsey county and the convention
exceeded its authority when it ousted them

Because he had the manliness and courage
to maintain and assert his political principles
convictions and prerogatiyes, D. w. Lawler
was unseated as a regularly elected delegate
Of the state Democratic convention and de-
posed as member of the national commit

usual proceeding, a blunder whether con
sidered from the point of politics or policy
and a precedent that will eventually result

HOW TO GET MONEY.
Beg 1T. Steal 1t. Borrow 1T. Have

Beg 1t. Steal 1t. Borrow 1T. Have
1t Given to You. Trade for 1t.
New York Lumber Trade Journal.
The Journal has politics. 1t never has
had any politics, and If thought that the
coming campaign was one of politics we
should take no part IN It, Some years ago,
however, the Journal took a positive stand
for sound money, believing that free silver
would result in the ruin of the business in
terests. 1t was the only lumber trade paper
that paid any attention to sound money
and 1t has the satisfaction of knowing that
some OF our articles attracted much attention.
The present campaign seems to be based
on an argument that everybody in the East is
a gold bug and that everybody South and
West is hard up, and that in consequence
thereof everybody East is happy and every
body West and South is unhappy, and that
the way 10 even things up is to have free sill
yer, which, some way or other. is going to be
divided among the crowd, so all will have
money, and, 1t would seem by their argu-
ment perfect happiness.
To man who has no money, there ara
several ways to get 1t, viz:
(a) Beg 1t.
(b) Steal it.
(c) Borrow it
I'D Secure it by gift.
le) Trading something for It.
II we are to beg It. we might Just well

erence to gold dollar would be acquitted
on the ground that he was insane.
Ii we borrow 1t we want the kind of money
which will go farthest, for so we can get
along with smaller loan. Therefore a gold
dollar is better to borrow than 16 to l sill
dollar.
If we are to secure 1t by gift, surely we
should not depreciate that which we are
about to receive
This brings US to (e), which Is the way
most money is obtained. pertinent ques-
ton for each of us to ask at this time is
What have / got to trade for money which I
want? 1t may be labor, 1t be a horse or
a COW, 1t may be lumber or shingles it NAV
be a saw-mill. At the present time we can
trade any of the above. and get gold dollar
for every dollars worth of value as may be
agreed upon between buyer and seller. We
can get dollar which is worth dollar any
where and everywhere.
Now your labor or horse or COW or lumber
or machinery will be worth Just as much, or
nearly as much, next year 1t is this; but,
II we have free coinage at 16 to l. will the
dollar which you get in trade be worth as
much as the dollar you can get now? What
will that be worth? Can you tell? 1t may
be worth SO cents more or less; one day
this, one day that but can any one tell!
These are all pertinent questions, and when
carefully considered, must guide US in voting
at the next election in November, and do not
lose sight of the fact that, If all the silver in
the world Is coined into money, you cannot
get cent of it except by a, b, C, or g.

~GooD THE WORLD OVER

MIR. Mckinley Is rhetorician. Pre-
cision Of statement Is not his forte.
Even In SO concise matter as tax
alton and the laying Of rates in a tar
iff schedule, we all know that he pre-
ferred to let the manufacturers write
their own schedules, while he reserved
himself for the glowing sentences and
rounded periods of speeches clarifying
the product. So when, having got his
courage screwed UP to the point where
he can mention the word "gold' in
his short and unprecedented addresses
to the occupants Of his lawn. he tells
them that he and his party are and
always have been in favor Of gold, hon
est money, and that he and they have
given this country money every dol
lar OF which is good the world over.
he Is simply making the same draft
on his imagination that he did when
he avowed that the foreigner pays the
tax
There is very little money Of any ma
ton that passes by tale the world
over. Our treasury, in making the
gold loans. bought ounces Of gold and
- the coins it received by weight
only when the people are so familiar
with it that they accept it readily,
knowing what it Is worth. Canadian
silver was current in this region until
q y, wi he
gan to discount it. 1t is now incur
rent money, taken by the brokers at
discount that will cover its return
to Canada. Canada is discriminating
now against our silver coinage and
making profit by it, So with the coins
Of foreign nations, whether gold or
silver. Whether they are simply I'M
current, or whether they are taken
at their bullion value, depends on
whether the country issuing them is
on gold or silver basis. Thus Mexi-
can dollars are quoted at 561a cents in
New York, although containing more
silver than ouri own dollar. On the
other hand, the Prussian thaler. with
bullion value of about 35 cents, is
quoted at TO-
Something depends on the direction
Of exchange. If money is being sent to
some country, It's coins are worth par
or more. Thus we find English sover-
eigns quoted at $4.SS, though their.
value is $685. London exchange be-
ing $4.89, while remittances to Ger
many make the ID twenty-mark
gold piece worth s4.75, although it's
value is $4.76 The demand for bills
on Spain makes the 25-peseta piece,
with a gold value, of $4.821a, worth
on change but $4.78.d Among the silver
coins we find the French five francs,
with a par value of 96.5 cents and a
bullion value Of about 40 cents, selling
at 95 cents. The reverse condition Of
this is true of our gold coins in for
eign countries. They are not current
the brokers' depends upon the direc-
ton remittances are moving in MAX
ing settlements for purchases. Our
silver coins are probably subject to
a larger discount; they certainly are in
Canada. So it is inaccurate to say
that every dollar of our money is
good the world over. 1t should be
kept. however, at least in the "uncur-
rent" class and never be allowed to
sink to it's bullion value
