Bank of Spain notes. The premium on
gold drives it out of circulation, and it
is rapidly rising. 1t is now ITO per
cent. Prices are stated in the de-
preciated and depreciating money. and
as it falls prices rise. The wage earn
ers find the buying power of their mon
ey growing less. At Gijon resentment
found vent against that Anticipated
form of raising the revenue, known
among the Latin nations as the octroi,
with us as the tariff. Here it is main
tanned at our borders; there 1t is col
lected at the city gates. Every arti-
Gle that comes in is taxed. The peas
ant woman bringing in her chickens,
eggs. butter or milk, the farmer bring
ing in his produce have to stop, submit
to an examination and valuation and
to pay the taxes assessed before they
can take their wares into the city. The.
tax paid is added to the price, and the
consumer has it to pay in additional
cost. The incidence is too direct to
pass unseen, as with US, and it was the
perception that bread was made dearer
by the octroi that led the women of
Gijon to attack the octroi offices.
Meanwhile the cortes is considering
propositions to raise. revenue by in
crease of taxes on everything in sight.
1t is further adding to the currency
complication by authorizing the in
crease Of the issues Of the Bank of
Spain to 1000, ,OGO pesetas, equivalent
to the franc, whose value is 1873 cents,
without providing for increase Of the
gold basis on which it's solvency de-
pends. This means further rise in all
prices without compromising increase
IN wages, and that means increase of
d1scontent, more bread riots and wide
spread internal dissensions. Salisbury

tlons as living and dying, and Spain

To The st. Paul Globe: ~.
A "disgusted st. Paul man. criticises the
Colonial Danes and the Daughters of Our
Revolutionary Fathers because they did not
prepare hospitable reception for the volun-
teers who so promptly responded to the call
Of the government. This carping critic ought
to sign his name Stupid" instead of 'Dis-
gusted," since he certainly does not know
much about the DANES" and Daughters. y
Why should these well-born ladies exert
themselves to welcome the boys who go out
at this time in defense Of their country? I
know something about these boys myself, and
they are. as rule, not the kind Of stuff to
interest the high-born descendants of the Rev.
olution The majority Of them are simple
farm and day laborers, and many went out
dressed in overalls. Few of them have had
a grandfather Of any consequence, and they
simply form the mud. stills of the social
fabric, Of which the Revolutionary Danes
and Daughters are the browning ornament
In this call for volunteers the response
comes not from descendants of well-born
sires except perhaps in case of the officers.
The sons Of the whole common people are
equally ardent to meet the common enemy
and endure the hardships OF the camp and the
battlefield. The sons of veterans and the SONS
Of home keeping fathers-the descendants of
American yeomen along with these of for
eign birth-all alike eagerly rally in defense
of the flag.
The members Of the descendant societies
the Danes and the Daughters, the Cincinnati
and all such-are animated by spirit of
exclusiyeness that cannot respond in sympa-
thy with popular uprising such as the coun-
try now Witnesses. No one should expect
warmth and life-giving service to country
from class whose patriotism is founded on
"Reminiscences.
The boys suffered a hardship in this their
first taste of army life, but they are not
strangers to hardship in their everyday life
at home A warmer greeting at the capital
city would have been grateful and would have
tended to lift the first dull weight of home-
sickness that no doubt pressed upon them
their own stout hearts and the good wishes
and the prayers of loving friends at home.
AS to the action of the chief executive, has
he not his friends to commission and his 20
lit;cal fences to fix?

1t is entirely in keeping with the
Spanish idea Of government that the
opening Of the farcical affair called a
Cuban congress, elected and meeting
under Sagastas scheme. Of autonomy
should be attended by the booming Of
cannon that announced the departure
of the captain general from his palace
and his arrival at the congress. 1t is
also indicative of the same concept
that, instead Of styling the head of
the colonial government a governor
general, after the English manner he
is called captain CEREAL. Their whole
Idea of government is military. The
military dominates Spain and the COL
onles. 1t is what the army wants, not
what the people wish. 1t Is the same
whether we look to Spain, to any of
her colonies, or to any of the off shoots
ON this hemisphere that style them
