THE GOLD IMpORTA TIoNS.

over S50,00O,O0O in gold has been
drawn from Europe TO the United States
within the last sixty days and large
shipments are now on the way. This
extraordinary drain. with the promise
of its continuance. has naturally
caused some apprehension on the part
of the directors Of the Bank of England
and it will be no surprise if they ad-
vance the discount rate in order to
check the outflow of gold According
to London reports the reserve is pretty
close To the point where action will be
necessary 10 protect II. 1t appears.
also. that the bank directors are of
the opinion that much of the demand
from this country is for the purpose
of boarding and it would seem that
they are not disposed to encourage that
sort of thing. That there has been
some boarding of gold is undoubtedly
fact. but il Is hardly probable thai
any very large part of the amount i'm
ported has been thus disposed of. II
was to be expected that under present
conditions gold would be boarded and
ii ought to serve aS an instructive OBJ
iect lesson to those who profess 10 be-
lieve that the free coinage of silver
would not drive out the yellow metal.
Nothing is more certain than that such
would be the result of that policy. The
merchandise balance is still largely in
favor of this country, so that If the
Bank of England raises the rate OF
discount it will probably not wholly
stop gold impOrtations, though ii would
certainly check them.

BARI, Italy, Oct 2l.-Thc Italian royal
yacht Savoy, having on board Princess
Helene Of Montenegro her bctrothcd hus-
band. the crown prince of Naples and the
members OF the princely family Of Montcnc-
gro who are to be present at the marriage,
arrived here today escorted by a squadron
Of Italian war ships. The royal yacht eN-
perienced very bad weather while crossing
the Adriatc. and nearly all the travellers
were seasicl throughout the passage. The
prince and princess were warmly greeted
on landing, a vast concoursc OF Anatolians
and others who had arrived In the town
crowdng II to its utmost capacity.
The local attempts at decoration were
universal, but ludicrous. They were made
In response to the following municipal edict,
which was posted on the walls Of the prin-
Cipal thuroughfarCs:
"CitilCns of Bari: II Is your duty to clean
the streets Of all unsecmly mud.
Used and tattercd washing linen must be
taken away from the windows.
Little children must no longer run naked
in the streets,
Goats, cows. hens and drunken men must
be kept at a proper distance
"No dust bins may for three weeks be
Cmptied into the streets.
Licensed coachmen are forbidden to wear
ragged liveries and are advised to borrow
disused police uniforms.
Let these things be done and our citizens
will prove themselves worthy of their an
cestors and our city will be duly garnished
for greeting her royal bride"
The prince OF Naples remained on board
the Savoy. but Princess Helene. escorted
by the duke of Genoa. the representative of
King Humbert landed at 1920 a. m. and
In procession OF forty-one carriages with
soldiers lining the street, proceeded in
dismal rain through enthusiastic crowds to
the church of st. Nicholas. She was met
at the door OF the church by the clergy with
great ceremony. The princess then formally
profcssod the Roman Catholic faith and
afterwards proceeded up the nave and heard
mass celebrated while artillery salutes were
fired in her honor After the ceremonies Of
the change of faith had been completed the

4 HIGH-HANDED pROCEEDfNG

Thr approval of the long standing dis
putcd Barber asphalt repairing claim by
the city council is high hhanded outrage
indignant protest from the taxpayers
of Omaha. This bill has been hanging
fire for five years. three different city
engineers have refused to certify to its
correctness, it was several times vetoed
by Mayor Bemis and his vetocs were
sustained. Time and again the Barber
company has been told, if it really
thought II had an honest claim against
the city, to 20 into court and prove
it. but it has never instituted suit be-
that would be brought to prove that ii
had never compiled with the terms of
its contract. The greater part of the
bill is for work never performed, and
its payment in full will constitute one
of the most gigantic steals ever per
pctrated on the community. The pre-
tense that Il compromise has been agreed
on by remitting Il small portion of the
interest alleged To be due is only Il
sop intended to befog the public mind.
1t ought to be laid down as general
rule of practice for the city that no
disputed bill contracted under one ad-
miniStratiOn where the contractor has
failed To adjust the matter under thai
administration should be allowed by
succeeding mayor and council with
ont first proving it in court. This
would be no more than fair precau-
tion To protect the taxpayers from
Jobs and steals In the present i'll
stance the Barber claim dates back To
1891 during the term of Mayor CuSh-
Ing. This part repeatedly rejected
by Mayor BemiS is in reality outlawcd
and was permitted To become outlawed
because it had no foundation in fact.
The remainder of the claim is legacy

il was more than once branded as un-

There is a favor of hypocrisy and whole
volume of demagogy in the statement made
by Bryan at Lima. o., 1--WE who believe in
the money Of the constitution are for
sounder money than those who want to
change our currency into pounds, shillings
and pence" There is no money of the con
stitution." That venerated instrument
authorizes congress to borrow money, to
coin money and regulate the value thereof,
and forbids any state making anything
but gold and silver coin a legal tender in
the payment OF debts" But 1t doesn't, even
by implication, invest gold or silver or any
other metal with the inherent quality of
money. Neither does any man in this
country want to change our currency into
pounds. shilings and pence" This figure
of jingo rhetoric is borrowed from the tariff
shriekers of the past.

every voter in every city of the metro

notice by proper publication before each

PRODUCTIVE LABOR.
II Establishes the value of Gold and
silver.
Syracuse Journal.


The most exhaustive researches can only
result in mere firmly establishing the
unique position of productive labor as the
standard of all commercial value, a posi-
tion it has always held and will ever hold,
though unrecognized by legal enactments
or the DEGREES of potentates. The only
reason why 1920 grains of fine gold are
worth 81 is that. on the average. it costs,
in productive labor, 81 to mine and trans
port 23.20 grains OF fine gold to the mint,
1t is productive labor that establishes the
value instead of gold and silver establish
ing the value OF productive labor. So long
as productive labor is content to mine 1920
grains of fine gold at wages paid, that will
be the value OF dollar. AS to silver, pro-
ductiye labor Is now satisfied to mine over
700 grains for the wages formerly paid to
mine 37l.25 grains, making it worth about
half its former price. No legal enactment
or demagoguery. or sophistry, can change
its present valie, SO long as the fiat of pro-
ductive labor remains as it is.
