reporter for the Globe. But the
ultimate diversion OF the waters of
the Crow Wing river to Gull lake
must come later. This improvement
involves much expense in the way Of
land damages, but it is SO necessary
to the extension Of the reservoir
system that it will be made and that
soon. The watershed of Gull lake is
comparatively small, while that of
the Crow Wing. only few miles
away is very large. We need this
water, but we will have to build a
canal several miles in length, thus
diver ting the Crow Wing to the Gull

IT seems to be quite an easy matter
for new spapers TO delude people into
thinking that when they say black is
white, contradiction is useless. Espec-
tally is this proven correct in regard to
theories and facts relating to the per-
picking currency questions with which
the people Of the United States are to-
day overwhelmed. And by the way,
there are a number of individuals so
deeply impressed with their qualities
of mind that no exception can be taken
to their arguments. Recently one such
person proclaimed aloud and with,
probably, positive personal convictions
of accuracy, that anyone could take
our siLyer coin and pass it anywhere in
the world at its face value. The state
ment struck us as so utterly wanting
in accuracy and so contradictory to our
assumed knowledge in the case, that
we determined to look the matter up.
A New York newspaper recently pub
lished an interview with the great Ii
Hung Chang, the Chinese Envoy, re-
rejecting his opinions regarding va
rious things of pertinent interest at
this time and among them was the fol-
loving statement regarding this very
point, which, to our minds, settles the
matter and shows at least one country
where the government "credlt mark"
on the face of a silver dollar does not
pass for as much as the Mexican dol
lar does with us:
at would be impossible to introduce
gold as currency, for in order to obtain
q sufficient amount for currency high
premium would have to be paid, and
nothing would be gained, as gold fiuc-
tuates as well as silver. Like silver,
gold in China is worth exactly its bull
lion value, no more, no less.
"American silver dollars in China
are worth less than Mexican dollars
because they contain less silver. When
American dollars are brought to China
an assay is made to determine the
amount Of pure silver they contain,
and the percentage Of alloy. Their val
ne is based upon the market price Of
the silver in them. Their stamped val
ue is wholly disregarded.

The Democratic party has very lit
tie money in this campaign to defray
necessary expenses, but the people are
coming to the front nobly and are
helping to swell the fund by their sub
scriptions Of nickeIs, dimes and dol
lars. The New York Journal, that
courageous exponent of Democracy,
has opened a fund for the campaign
with the promise that each dollar or
part thereof received will be doubled
by that paper. If you send them one
dollar they will make it two, If ten
cents they will add ten cents, making
twenty, if one hundred dollars, the
amount will be two hundred to the
credit Of the fund. This plan has been
In operation only few days, but the
amount 80 far reaches over 81, 10000.
Any one can contribute and help the
cause OF Bryan and Sewall. The Re
publicans have the gold powers to back
them, but the campaign fund of the
party of the people will be made up by
the people.

In our next issue we will give in full
Mr.. Bryan's letter of formal accept
ance of the nomination for President of
the United States conferred upon him
at Chicago. In striking contrast to
that of Mr.. McKinley's. this document
only makes three columns of newspa-
per space and is terse and most excel
lently well written. He stands square
ly upon the Chicago platform. He
does not go into tiresome details, but
discusses plainly the more important
points. The letter has been favorably
commented upon by even Bryan's po-
litical enemies, which at this time
must be considered the highest pos
sible compliment.

From 1877 to 1901 John Ad-
ans was President Of the Uni
ted States. He certainly was
an honest man, as history con-
clusively proves, and during his
adminintration the law provid-
ed for The free and unlimited coin
age Of gold and silver at the ratio
of 10 to l was passed.
Hamilton, in his report to
Congress, 1871, recommended
that the unit Of value should
rest on both metals, and gave
as a reason that "To annul the
use Of either Of the metals as
money is to obridge the quantity

With free coinage Of gold and
silver the wealth of the United
States increased between 1890
and 1900, 70 per cent, while the
population increased 80 per cent.

ALL around and about us we hear
the cry for an honest dollar from all
parties, and it is near time to give
as good definition of an "honest dol
lar" as we have come across in all the
literature of the present campaign:
IAN honest dollar is a dollar which
retains the same general purchasing
power yesterday, to-day and forever
Purchasing power is the test of homes
ty. A dollar which rises in purchas-
ing power is just as dishonest as a dol
lar which falls in purchasing power.n

have it.
