nAnYInR nosrAGE.

Victoria. B. c., comes to the front
with a case which furnishes a striking
innovation in the method of collecting
rent from delinquent tenants.
Mrs. Sarah Ryan owed Mr.. Thomas
Pamphlet 81 rent. The woman was in
dire straits: she confessed her inability
to pay at the time. but Mr.. Pamphlet
had heard such stories before. He
promptly elected Mrs. Ryan from the
premises. minus her baby. which the
ingenious landlord held as collateral for
the 81 due. The action was apparently
based upon sound reasoning from an
inexorable creditors point of view-if
anything would compel Mrs. Ryan to
pay that 81 it would be the fact that
only by doing so could she ransom her
baby from the cruel Pamphlet grasp.
1t so CHANGED, however, that the land
lord in this remarkable case counted
upon the average woman's ignorance OF
the law and predisposition towards hys-
terra in the face of a sudden crisis. But
the mother thus despoiled Of her of
spring proved an exception to the gen.

JUMPING ON THE ptNGLEY BILL.

JUMPING ON THE DtNGLEY BILL.
The savagest attacks on the tariff
bill now engaging the attention of the
Senate, come from manufacturers,
many of whom are Republicans. Mar
shall Field. the merchant prince of Chi
cago. is in Washington endeavoring TO
have certain rates reduced and finds the
hotels filed with people who are on the
same mission. When asked whether
he desired to give his views for publ
cation. Mr.. Field said: mo, except the
one general remark that it is the worst
tariff bill l ever saw, not only as regards
the rates of duty imposed, but il the
complicated and ambiguous methods OF
imposing them. There is scarcely a
line in the bill that will not have to be
interpreted by the Supreme Court.
The leather interests have organized
to make determined fight against the
proposed duty of 2 cents per pound on
hides and skins, which are now on the
free list. Ex-Mayor Charles A. Scbieren,
of Brooklyn, the chairman # their as
sociation. says: "Since 1871, when hides
were placed on the free list. we have
built up an enormous export ITade,
which amounted to over S20,0O0,O00 and
gave employment to over 10000 work.
men in the tanneries and shoe factories
last year. The shoe men are now be-
ginning to export their shoes 10 South
America and other countries with great
success. In leather betting we export
to almost every country on the globe.
Within the past two years we have been
enabled to meet the prices of foreign
manufacturers, especially the English
and German. All this trade will revert
again to the English and Germans il
our government places a duty on raw
material and will be entirely lost to
this country. Hides being a by-pro-
duct, a duty will not benefit the farmer,
because cattle are bought. not for their
hides simply, but for the beef. The
farmer would not receive any benefit,
the profit going to the cattle slaught-
erers."
While Republicans are pounding the
tariff bill and attacking further propos-
ais for increases, it is not necessary for
Democrats to do much talking, but there
are many signs that the extreme posi-
ton taken by Republicans in Congress
has invigorated the Democratic party so
that it will enter the fall campaign with
renewed hope of victory. A cardinal
principle of Democracy, opposition to
special privileges to monopolies, will
bring together all factions for the fall
elections.

INTERNATIONAL MONEY.

There is no such thing as interna-
tional coin and would not be if all the
world were to come to the gold basis,
or if every nation were to adopt free
coinage of silver. The coin of no coun-
try passes at par in any other country,
except in cases where it is a matter OF
convenience only.
To-day the scales at the Bank of Eng
land. not counting American eagles, de-
termine the value of the gold brought
into that bank. The same is true of a
bag full of sovereigns brought to New
York. they are weighed up and esti-
mated as so much bullion. All the
Orient. including the Chinese empire,
weighs up the silver that is received or
paid out in international transactions.
The Chin,ve tael is a weight, not coin.
Whenever any kind of money leaves
the land where it is protected by law
then that money becomes bullion. Talk
about an International legal tender,
that would require a universal law, or,
in other words, a law common to every
country in the world 1t is the legal
tender quality of gold coins that makes
gold valuable, that adds about 60 per
cent to its actual bullion value because
the work done by gold aside from what
it does in the arts represents 60 per cent
of its use.
Men talk about the bullion value, the
world over. Value in what, in itself?
No. there has to be a standard of value
in every country and that standard is
created by law. In England it is the
pound sterling, in the United States it
is the dollar, in France the franc and
in Germany the mark, hence when you
talk in Germany about the value of
gold it is simply how many marks it
will make. as in this country how many
dollars il will make, so that each cOun-
try by law creates its own standard.
There is no international standard.
This principle holds equally good with
silver and gold. 1t was the law that
made silver money, it was the law that
demonetized it's use as a money metal.
1t was the law that made gold the

standard and the measure of all other
products. To-day the world at large,
or rather each country has its own
measure with which it estimates the
value of gold Silver has been reduced
in price when measured by gold just
in proportion as it has been thrown
out of use as a money metal. Since
there is no such thing as an inter-
national money, it is equally as true
that each nation establishes its own
monetary system and that all transac-
tons between nations at present are
settled on bullion values in the money
of the country where the debt is due.
All the twaddle about driving the
higher metal, gold, out of existence has
no foundation, in fact If the balance
of trade is against our country we have
to pay that debt in the money of the
country where we owe it.
If a large and liberal volume of
money coined at our minis will stimu-
late production for the soil Of our farms,
from the forests and mines and thus
create a large surplus which may be
shipped abroad, then the currency, gold
or silver, will be drawn from the coun-
tries which buy our products and coin
will increase at home. The best inter-
national currency is large production
from our farms, our factories and our
mines, so that a large balance of trade
may be in our favor. The precious
metals must come from mother earth
they can come direct by fostering the
mining industry and coming all the
silver and gold produced. They may be
increased at home by so fostering other
industries as TO have large surplus to
ship abroad and hold the balance of
trade in our favor.
