COIN AND BULLION.

To the Editor of the Globe y.

present time is compelled to receive gold
bullion and give in exchange therefor the
value of gold coin? A
2. Under the free coinage of silver as pro-
posed by the Chicago platform, is 1t not a
fact that the government will be compelled
to receive 412h grains of standard silver and
pay therefor standard silver legal tender

value?
Mortified, Mimi. Aug. 81, 1896.
1. Under the law any holder of gold
bullion can take it to a United
States mint and receive in exchange
therefor gold coin at the rate of 81
for every rs $40 grains of standard
gold.
2. Under the free coinage of silver
1t is proposed that the minis shall re-
ceive silver bullion without limit and
return in exchange therefor silver dol
lars at the rate of 81 for every 4121a
grains Of standard silver so supplied

propose that the bullion market values

try, whatever may befall.. rests upon
the heads of those who nominated
those two candidates, whom we regard
as improper persons to be elected to
the presidency.
A. This question answers itself. 1t
certainly is not reasonable to believe
that part is equal to the whole. All
mathematics contradict it.
s. AS long as the civilized world
uses the gold standard and the United
States pledges itself to maintain all
its currency at par, the advantage of
such a regulation is not as great as
1t would seem. 1t could be used, how
ever, if necessary, in time of distress,
to prevent raid upon the treasury.
If the treasury notes of 1890, for in
stance, were redeemed when presented
in silver dollars, as we are frank to
say we think they should be, the peo-
pie would probably quit sending them
in. The reason why this has not been
done is fear that it might intensity
the situation created by the persistence
of free silver agitation.

A LITTLE CATHECISM.
le Editor of the Globe

To the Editor of the Globe.
l. Please give the revenue for each year
since 1889 also the surplus in the treasury
now and at the close Of Harrisons admin
istration.
2 Under our present monetary system,
does it do the country any good to use silver
as money? Would not paper money redeem
able in gold be as good?
3. Which candidate. Bryan or Mckinley, do
you sound money" Democrats intend to help
elect?
4. You say, under title voters Arguments
Considered, 1T takes action "the world OVER
to either elevate or depress the exchange
value or either money metal to any sensible
extent. Is it not reasonable that part of
the world can restore that depression?
.. OF what use is law providing for the
secretary Of the United States treasury to
redeem United States obligations in gold or
silver coin at his discretion if he always re-
deems In gold coin? j C.. McGhee
Grandin, N. D.. Aug. 20.
/. The receipts Of the United States
treasury from all sources for the years
in question were as follows: 1889, SAB
225,67O; 1890, $463, 1853, OS1 1891, S45S,544.
233; 1892, $425, S6S, 26O; 1898, s4e1, 716.5 62:
1894, $S72SO2, 49S; 1895, 1890, 373, 2e3. The
term surplus" is somewhat variable
and depends upon the methods of
bookkeeping. The net cash balance in
the treasury Feb. 2S, 1893, at the close
of Harrison'sa administration. was
$124,12S,OSS;; of Which 500, OOo, 900 consti-
tuted the gold reserve. The net cash
balance reported on Aug 90, 1896, was
$246, 593,952, of which the gold reserve
was $101, 1857, 532
2. Paper money redeemable in gold
would not be as good as silver. The diff
ference between them is shown by. the
difference between the market value Of
the paper on which a bill is printed
and the market value of the bullion in
silver dollar. There is an enormous
difference here The silver dollar con-
tains actual bullion value, and to that
extent is not fiat. 1t is obvious that
the ability of the government to re-
deem certain quantity of silver.

THECRowD.

OF all the sights to be seen in st.
Paul this week. we think that the most
wonderful, after all, is the omnipresent
crowd. Never in all our history, in
Guiding any of the great gatherings
that have taken place here in the past,
appearance as they do these days. The
coincidence of the Grand Army en-
campment with the week of the state
fair, together with the inducement to
other persons offered by the low rates
on all the railroads, have brought un-
counted thousands to our doors The
streets are packed with them from ear
Fly morning untill long past midnight.
Three and four generations wander
| about together hand in hand gazing at
the sights The veterans are very much
in evidence Their scanty grizzled locks
and blue uniforms are plentifully
sprinkled among the moving hosts. But
they are, after ALL very much in the
minority. The younger generations
that have sprung up since the war
constitute the main body of our visit
ors; bent upon honoring the encamp-
ment with great demonstration, and
upon the pleasures and sightseeing
that the week affords.
| 1t is a gay and spirited scene from
| hour to hour upon our city walks.
Here are the members Of visiting
post marching with bent heads and fall
| tering steps behind their remnants up
a business street. There is a band of
cadets or section Of national guard,
| in firmer array and jauntier attire, en-
tering the city to participate in the
gayeties of the week. Around the cor
ner, with shrill squeak and quick, re-
verberating roll of drums, comes fife
and drum corps, upsetting the equa-
nimity Of the whole neighborhood and
gathering quickly big crowd to lis
ten to the unwonted and stirring music.
Only occasionally does one catch
daily life. Strangers are everywhere;
looking for the sights of the city, hunt
ing for the car line that is to convey
them to their temporary quarters,
wandering to and fro in the quest for
enjoyment common to visitors in
strange cities everywhere. On almost
every breast there Is pinned some kind
of badge, the insignia of present Office
or past honor. People, as well as plac-
es, are bedecked with bits Of color, and
/ the holiday air is oyer all.
| 1t is a great sight. this enormous
| crowd that has taken possession Of st.
Paul the present week; perhaps the
most picturesque of all and certainly
the most interesting. Not the arches
and reviewing stands, not the gay dec
| orations, not even the crowded recep-
lions and the magnificent parades
can challenge and hold the at
| tention of the. philosophic onlooker
and the lover of his kind like this NOV
ing procession of unaccustomed faces
and this mighty aggregation of human
| interests, thoughts and emotions that
surge all about us and fill the very air
with new forces during this memorable
week.

five to command regiment or bril-

that age frequently occupied such po-
sitions. Then in the quartermaster's
and commisary's departments, where
large executive ability was required;
plans to be laid as well as executed,
duties to be, performed on which the
success of. expeditions depended, ar
rangements made that required fore
thought as well as energy and endur-
ance, there were few men who had
reached years we would now call ma
ture; young men all of them, young
sters, for the most part of them. And
so in all branches of the service, boys
in the ranks and boys in shoulder
straps, but doing mems work with
abilities developed with astonishing
rapidity under their environment.

delegation of the West side citizens
called at the G l o b Office yesterday to state
that they did not think the street car ar
rangements for that section Of the city were
what they ought to be- While the service
the West side found they had no additional
service. A number Of the veterans who were
located at the Humboldt school, have been
told by some members of the information
bureau that the cars would run to the West
side late they would to- any other part
OF the city, but when 1890 came and they
were ready to go home they found they had to
walk. This the West side citizens thought
was unfair to their side of the city.

A REAYY FINE.

In the neighborhood OF Vir-
glnia and doubtless at every
point on the range, many ''jags''
of wood are being cut by tres
passers on the lands of non-res.
ident corporations. So far as
the value of the stumpage is
concerned, it is altogether un-
likely that any protest would
ever be entered by any of these
owners but the great danger to
the timber left standing by rea.
son of the brush piles left, is at
tracing the attention of resident
agents, and it is not unlikely
that some of those who are i'm.
plicated in a general disregard
of lines and surveys may be Civ
en- a dose of law if the work con
tinues. The law provides for an
ofense of this kind a fine of $3.50

GREAT SCOTT!

This expression will no longer
be a slang phrase IN St. Louis
for now it IS the name of an or
ganized town up On the range,
says the News. Tribune. Some
time ago the county commission.
ers named the town Scott, but a
communication was received
from the state auditor to the ef-
feet that a town in Stearns coun-
ty had the exclusive right, title
and interest in the name and that
the St. Louis Scott would have
to be changed to something else.
When the subject came up for
consideration on Saturday, Com
missioner Miller moved that the
name be changed to Great Scott.
The only commissioner to oppose
the notion was Albert Swenson,
W no voted in the negative.

plat of ground several acres in
extent and with a water frontage
of 1900 feet feet, with the intent
of erecting thereon rolling mills
and kindred industries to cost
from ten to twenty millions of

means much to the Mesaba

that the heretofore unquestioned
title of Andrew Carnegie, the

was in prospective jeopardy.
