"A GOLD standard has the advant-
age Of making prices steadier, for, as
compared with silver, gold is more
staple in value, and if the standard
of value is steady, prices as measured
by the standard must also be steady.
Rising prices make markets active for
a time, but will soon affect the mate
rial and wages, injure the productive
power of the country, and tend to de
crease exports; while suddenly falling
prices cause losses to the commercial
and economic world. Then it is best
that prices do not fluctuate violently,
but it is impossible to, avoid such fluc-
tuatiOns with silver standard, and
the only remedy is to be found in a
gold standard. Secondly, a gold
standard will tend to increase eX-
ports, for, while it makes commercial
transaction with foreign countries
adopting "A similar standard more con
venient, it enables thecountry to avoid
violent fluctuations of prices and
tends to develop her industry. Again,
a gold standard diminishes the ex-
change fluctuations. Japan's com
merce has been frequently hampered
by the fluctuation of exchange with
gold countries consequent upon the
fuctuation of silver. If she adopts a
gold standard now all such evils will
not be repeated. Another advantage
is that of enabling the country to eX-
tend her machinery of circulation.
AS Japan progresses it becomes neces-
sary for her to be in constant touch
with various foreign markets, but at
present she is isolated from foreign
countries in respect of circulation.

The Coal Strike-Traceable to the Opera
lions of the Wilson Law.

The Coal Strike-TraceabIe to the Opera
lions of the Wilson Law.
The strike of coal miners has
brought to the public attention some
important facts as to the effect of the
Wilson tariff law upon this industry.
The Wilson law reduced the rates of
duty on coal 30 cents per ton, it hay
ing been IS cents per ton under the
Mckinley law and reduced to 40 cents
per ton under the Wilson law. Curl
ously President Ratchford of the
United Mine Workers Association
states that the wages of miners have
been reduced about 35 cents per ton
since 1898, the very year in which the
free trade congress met and began
framing the Wilson act, which reduc-
ed duties 35 cents per ton. The
moment the Wilson law passed coal
from Nova Scotia mines began invad-
ing the markets on the Atlantic coast,
especially New England, and drove
out of those markets the West Vir-
Ginia coal, which had always found
an outlet at fair prices. This West
Virginia coal was thus compelled to
seek market in the west in compe-
titiOn with the Goals Of Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, kentucky. The result was a
sharp competition, Il fall in prices,
ruinOus rate war, not only between
mine owners, but also between the
railroads, and as a consequence a re-
duction in the wages of miners.
Thus the very low wages of the coal
miners of the country who are now
striking for an advance are directly
and logically traceable to the opera
tons of the Wilson law. The pending
bill restores Mckinley rates on coal
and after it gets into operation will,
it is hoped, result in improved condi-
tions and wages for miners as well as
others.

COUNT MATsUKATA, the japanese
Premier, has given the silver states
men of the United States a great deal
of trouble by his speech before the
japanese Diet, in which he urged the
adoption of the gold standard in his
country, which the silverites had year
after year held up as the most pros
porous country in the East, and most
prosperous because of its silver stand
ard. Count Matsukata's speech has
been published by the State Depart

the silver people are now spending a
good deal Of time in trying to devise
an excuse or explanation for this ac-
ton, though the stubborn fact that
the action was taken, and that after

A Noifin Sheep's Clothing.

\ false friend is far more dangerous
often furnish a disguise for fraudu-
lent intentions A kiss may be the
signal of betrayal, and a caress may
be used for better opportunity to
effect an evil purpose. The real wolf
in sleeps clothing however, is he
who masks a hypocrite's wiles in a
pretentious zeal for a good cause. We
do not require absolute disinterested-
ness. Such a quality may be very
beautiful as poetic conception of an
ideal character. But in this work a
day world and age, we always feel
that we have a better assurance of a
mans sincerity and fidelity when his
interests and professions coincide
It. is equally true, however, that
when interests and professions are
essentially incompatible, it is far safer
to look beneath the wool of the sheep
for the.Ihair of the wolf. A wolf is
never so formidable as when he looks
like a sheep. Still, he is apt to betray
himself by his bad manners and the
misftiof his disguise. A mans real
character is often revealed by his at
tempt to conceal it. His hands may
be those of Esau, but, if his voice be
that of Jacob, the incongruity of the
combination only serves to emphasize
the fraud.

THE Bryan-Altgeld wing of the Pop
ulist party is very much disturbed
over the result of the Nashville con
vention, in which 200 representatives
of the Populist party declared against
future alliances with the Democratic
or any other political organizations.
The dignitied and vigorous utterances
of that convention, representing, as
it did, a large majority of the Popu-
lists of the United States, make it
perfectly apparent that the days of
fusion between Populism and Democ-
racy are oyer, and that the silver
Democrats, who lost their gold asso-
ciates last year, will lose that other
wing Of their party from this time
forward
