a RADICAL ERROR.

In a communication published else
where, Mr.. John Kelly, who has con-
tributed some thoughtful articles upon
the financial question to the columns
of the G e. sets forth his scheme
of financial reform and his solution of
the money problem in detail. We do
not care to comment upon his general
argument as to the constitutionality of
free coinage, because that, as a practi-
cal issue, will not have any general
consideration. AS to the plan, we have
already said that it would be the best
possible method of treating the existing
silver circulation to call in the silver
certificates, pay them in silver dollars.
and allow this money to be absorbed
by the everyday business transactions
Of the people. The objections to his
other propositions we have already
pointed out. 1t is impossible to set
aside portion Of import duties as a
financial reserve as long as the entire
sum Of those duties, together with re-
ceipts from all other sources, is insult
ficient to cover the nations expense
bill. Were this condition to be rene
died. however, Mr.. Kelly's plan seems
to contemplate merely the substitution
of United States certificates of indebt-
edness for greenbacks. He does not,
as we understand him. intend that
those shall be redeemed, but merely
kept outstanding with their reserve
against them.
This is, Of course, open to the same
objection urged by disastrous expert
ence to the greenbaclz. It is open to
the further objection that it proposes
to commit to the United States govern
ment the function, which it should not
exercise. Of issuing paper money. The
increase of volume of such certificates
would always lie within the power of
congress. and the specter of q possible
imitation Of the paper currency would
stare business and commercial inter-
ests In the face day after day. The
function of issuing credit money should
peIoAS 10 the agencies by whom credit
is bought and sold. The banks of the
country, to which individuals must go
for credit, should have the power to
furnish it, just as other associations
have the power to furnish dry goods
or gaslight or electric power or trans
portation. The particular privilege Of
issuing money being a profitable one
it should be subject to such a tax as
would leave those exercising it only a
fair and reasonable compensation for
their labor and utilize the rest for the
public benefit, the government then
having no other function as far as
money is concerned than to strike off
coins and certify to their weight and
ffneness. If all legal tender acts were
repealed, the monetary system would
conform itself to the peoples needs
and there would probably be no neces-
sity for one line Of legislation on the
money question, or one word Of dis
cussion of the vanished money prob
lem" for an indefinite time to come

SLOW IN RECIPROCATING.
No Country Has Yet Concluded IA
Treaty.


WASHINGTON Jan. 23.-Reciprocity
negotiations proceed in a manner sat
tsfactory to officials, but there Is no
present prospect that treaties or agree
ments will be concluded in the near fu-
ture. The negotiations with Peru are
farthest along, and these have reached
a point where the draft Of a treaty has
been made. There are q number Of
points open, however, and Minister
EGuiguren Is now in communication
with his government with @ view to
closing the matter. In connection with
the negotiations, he has received from
Peru samples Of the remarkable cotton
grown in that country. Unlike the cot
ton Of our Southern states and other
cotton sections, that of Peru has many
colors other than white. The negOtia-
tions have brought out, however, that
freight rates are an element which give
European countries a great advantage
over the United States in the matter Of
trade with South America. In the
case OF Peru, the rate to the United
States is the same as the rate from
Peru to Liverpool and thence to the
United States This, to a considerable
extent, complexities the efforts toward
securing reciprocal trade.
Brazil, Argentine and Chill have
made no movements thus far toward
reciprocity. A more satisfactory trade
condition has been established with
Argentina, however. 1t was understood
at one time that retaliatory legislation
would be resorted to by Argentina as
a means Of Offsetting the Dingley act
restrictions. This has not been done,
however, and the new tariff law Of
Argentina Is said to contain no pro-
visions especially burdensome to Amer
lean goods. Most Of the ministers Of
the American republics have advised
their governments as to the Dingley
provision on reciprocity, and are await
ing Instructions.
The British negotiations as to reel
procity with the West India islands
have advanced as a result of several
recent meetings between Sir Julian
Pauncefote and Commissioner Kasson.
The basis Of exchange has been formu-
lated, but the draft Of an agreement
has not yet been made. The ambas-
sador expects to have, IN a few days,
valuable matter from the several colo
MES bearing on the articles likely to
come within the agreement. The ne
gotiation is restricted to the West In
dla colonies, the plan of Canadian re-
ciprocity being put aside for the pres
ent. Hopes are still expressed that
some general arrangement can be made
by which a commission viii deal with
all Canadian questions, including re-
ciprocity and also the Boring sea mat
ter. At present, however, there are no
negotiations in that direction. although
it is anticipated that they may be re-
sumed.
The French negotiations are awaiting
Ambassador Cambon's further instruc-
lions from Paris The German negotia-
tions are not being pushed, so far as
can be learned, and 1t Is felt that ac-

WISELY DECIDED

We are surprised to find in the New
York Evening Post, which is generally
on the right side of large public cues
lions, an unfavorable criticism of the
action of the senate committee on
privileges and elections in deciding
that Mr.. Corbett, Of Oregon, is not en-
titled to a seat in that body. Precedent
for this decision has already been es-
tablished In the case of Lee Mantle
who was appointed from Montana
few years ago. In that case,
a vacancy occurring in the SEN
atortal representation Of the state
and the legislature having met
and failed to choose successor,
the governor exercised his appointing
power on the theory that a vacancy
existed which he was authorized by the
constitution to fill. In that instance
the senate declined to admit that a
governor could appoint after the Iegis-
lature of his state had failed to choose
a senator.
In the Oregon case the circumstances
are slightly different. No senator was
elected in Oregon, not merely because
the legislature could not agree upon a.
man, but because it was unable to or
gan1ze at the proper time. In the eyes
Of the law no legislature existed. In
this state Of affairs the governor ap-
pointed Mr.. Corbett, but the senate
committee holds that, the legislature
having had an opportunity to act in the
premises, the governors appointment
is void The regret Of the Post seems
to be based upon the fact that Mr..
Corbett is sound money man, whose
vote on financial issues would have
been especially valuable and impor-
tant in the senate at this time. With
out dsputing that, we have to point
out that this Is one Of the instances
where, according to the old adage,
hard cases make bad law" The ques-
ton Is not whether Mr.. Corbett Is n
proper man for a senator, or whether
he would add to the character and
weight Of a body sadly deficient in
both. but whether it would be well, in
oIuer 10 secure a present and personal
advantage, to lay down a bad general
principle.
There can be no doubt that, If the
United States senate were to recog-
nize the appointive power Of g. gov
ernor where legislature for any rea-
son had met and failed to act, it would
result presently in minority representa-
ton. The cases are very numerous in
which legislatures are about evenly
balanced, and a majority can be broken
by a compact body of from five to
twenty members. Suppose. now, that
a senatorial candidate can hold that
many votes and that he also has the
ear Of the governor. Although he could
not by any possibility secure election
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-01-24

We are glad to note that citizens Of
Minnesota of foreign birth or eXtrac-
ton are pouring in their circumstances
against the. passage Of the Lodge bill
There Is not man in the state who is
in either class but owes it to himself
or his father to make a vigorous pro-
test to his representative in congress
against bill that is a direct affront
to him and an insult to his former
countrymen who may be looking to
the United States for a home. If a
1.-THE of such voters send postal cards
to their several representatives pro-
testing against the measure it will die
in the house. 1t is revival of the
old. hateful Americanism under a form
Of FEASIBILITY that hides the narrow
ness and bigotry, the intolerance of
foreigners that ragged, uncloaked, over
the country forty-odd years ago. 1t is
recrudescence of KnOwnothingism,
taught cunning by bitter experience,
but none the less itself because it now
illiterate. That step secured, others
will follow. The laws now guarding
against paupers and criminals are
ample to protect the country against
such. The proposed educational test is
no safeguard against the latter, while
it will exclude the honest and indus
trious. A bombardment of postal cards
will send that measure where it be-
longs.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-01-24

by either the legislature or the people,
he is in position to make a success
full deal. By bargaining with the gov
ernor to throw all his influence as SEN
ator for him, he can get the promise Of
an appointment. He can then go to his
corporal's guard Of supporters in the
Legislature and promise every one of
them a share in his senatorial patron
age If they will stand together and pre-
vent an election.
This is what has been done in the past
and would be done almost universally.
Senators would be chosen by gov
ernor and a few members of the legis-
lature almost as often as by a majority
of the legislature itself. To prevent
this, and to force on the states COM
pliance with the strict requirements
Of the constitution, is the effect of the
rule Of practice that the senate has
adopted. We consider it in every way
salutary, and should regret very much
to see 1t broken, even where the pecu-
liar circumstances of the case might
show this policy to be otherwise ad-
vantageous.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-01-24
A JIrsT COMPLAINT.

The spirited circumstances Of the
people of New York, Philadelphia and
Boston against the proposed reduction
Of the postal service in those cities
seem to us to be entirely justified. In
view Of the deficits which in all di-
rections have come to be the mark Of
a Republican administration, it has
been made necessary to insist upon a
reduction of postal expenses some
where, and it has been proposed to
make the saving in the three greatest
cities of the East. In New York alone
we believe that siXty-five employees are
to be discharged, although the bust
ness of the office is in a condition that
would seem to require more assistance
rather than less. The lessening of the
efficiency Of their service which the
people Of the East are required to en-
dure is unpalatable to them, and we
do not wonder at it, in view Of the fact
that the economy contemplated
amounts to the saving Of $4,000 a
year, while not less than $4,000, 900 to
$15,000,000 are wasted annually IN the
carriage of merchandise at lower rates
than should be charged.
The tremendous abuses incident to
the transmission Of second-class mat
ter through the mails have been a
subject Of debate in congress and Of
proposed legislation, but nothing has
been done. A few large publishing
concerns in the country, which enjoy
immense profits from the circulation Of
books which they print as periodicals,
are powerful enough to defeat attempt
ed reform. The reformers themselves
were injudicious enough to introduce
a bill so sweeping in its provisions and
so unjust in some particulars that a
good argument could be made against
1t. Therefore, the whole matter Of re-
adjusting our postal business on
fair and proper basis has been post
poned, and the government goes on ex-
pending millions Of money for private
advantage and tens of millions for the
free carriage of carloads of public doc
uments and seeds under the franking
privilege, while, in order to save
beggarly $15O,OOO. the service is to be
cut down in the most important bust
ness centers Of the country.
This is a fair sample of the way in
which business questions are dealt
with by the peoples representatives at
Washington. It is the direct concern
Of the citizens of other states than
those affected; because, in the first
place, we all of US suffer from this
abuse and would have ampler mail IA
c1l1ties were favoritism abolished:
and because, in the second place, the
habit Of making public subordinate to
private good is contagious and spreads
to every department and detail of the
governments work. The clamor for
postal reform should increase and re-
sound throughout the nation, until the
1eeches have been pulled off, and we
have achieved at one stroke an i'm
proVement of our postal facilities and
an immense reduction of expenses.

ity? 1t Is not in hard times that the
danger from such provision is great
