Senator Chandler for the Silver Standard.

There has been a suspicion abroad
had bimetallism and silver monomot-
allism confused in his mind. The sus
picion has been confirmed by his latest
expression of opinion that the wages
at Fall River were cut because we have
not restored silver to it's old position
as standard money"
Mr. Chambers ideas of the effect of
silver on wages are widely different
from those entertained by some friends
and advocates of the white metal,
Wharton Barker tried to interest
PENNSYLVANIA manufacturers in "bi
mctalism" of the l6 to | variety be-
cause il would in effect lower wages.
That was Mr. Hryan's plea to the
Western farmers. He told them they
could not compete with the South
american farmer who hired his help
for Il silver dollar worth but fifty cents
and sold his wheat in London. unless
they too could pay their .worlImen in Il
similarly cheap dollar.
Mr.. Chandler says gold has apprc
ciated and that's the trouble. He says
goods that once brought 500 now brin.,
but $50 This he attributes to apprv
citation Of gold though he must he
aware that improved machinery and
methods always reduce the cost of pro
tluction. Hut We're his theory true the
Workmen in our factories are paying 70
Per cent less for goods and are only go:
ting ten per cent. less in wages. Wha;
then should they grumblc about if they
accept Mr.. Chambers View?
Mr.. Chandler ought to be aware that
over the country as a whole wages
were never 50 high as now. never ca
pable of buying so much. With free
silver wages would be cut in two n
their purchasing power and then the
wage worker would have TO fight all
over again his battles for the restora
tion of them to the proportion thay
now bear.

The loud Postal Bill.



When Mr.. Loud began the preparation
of his bill to close up the deficit in the
postal revenues there were two ways for
him to proceed He could fran" meas
urr to impuS" first -VlaSS postage upon a
great amount of SrcUud-ClaSS matter and
lust about balance nutgo and income,
with the incidental result of making Ger
tain CLASSES of desirable reading matter
more costly to the people. or. ON the oth-
er hand. he could draw up a bill compel
ing the railroads to transport mail rs
cheaply as express companies using tn"
same trains carry packages, and not only
stop the deficit, but give the pUStofiico d.
partmcnt Il surplus. Much - the graft
tication of the railroads. Mr.. Loud adopt
ed the plan by which tn. reading public
would suffer rather than the corporations
His bill is now before Congress for a
second time. with the railroad interest
back of it. The latter takes the ground
that If the legitimate demand for postal
reform can be met by the change in class
i1cation of sccund-class matter the pub
lie mind will he diverted from III" frau

and a few years more Of profitable swim

corporations can do. therefore. to help the

Incentives in the Orient.

Whatever Europe may attempt in
the way of aggression in China. there
will be behind it good reason from a
purely commercial point of view. Not
future trade seen in the immense popu-
lation of four hundred millions but the
country itself is teeming with wealth.
There are vast deposits of coal. ur-
known quantities of gold and other
minerals. There too may he found
some Of the most fertile areas in tn"
world. The vantage point seized by
Germany controls the outlet of one of
the richest and most populous prov
inces Trade under existing conditions
progresses in China but there are aggri-
waiting delays. There is ii hostility
among the ruling classes to Western
innovation. The people when once
their prcjudices have been overcome
have proved good buyers but it takes
too long to reach them under existing
conditions.
Another reason Why all Europe is
apparently in such haste to acquire
footholds there, why they either united
or tacitly permitted, as did England,
to have Japan robbed of her acquisI-
tons by war may be found in the fact
that the Japanese are those best
adapted to develop Chira to the best
material advantage of both the jap
aneSe and Of the Chinese The TIVE
nationalities have many characteristics
in common. They understand one an
other. Undoubtedly there would b.
less opposition in China to any plan
proposed for development by TIL
japanese than We're ii proposed 10y one
of the European nations. Since the
war tn" japanese have acquired an
advanced foothold in China and wee
they to have the advantages, which
their success in the recent war would
have given them but for the interven-
ton of Russia, Germany and France
they would have made far greater in
roads Possibly England thought OF
this when she refused to come to the
assistance of Japan against the other
powers.
Again Japan would have acquired .
strength that would have made her
remarkably powerful and insolent to Il
degree. The marvellous rapidty with
which the japanese in their own coun-
try have adapted themselves to modern
achieved may well have caused Il
European power to hesitate before
aiding them to Wonderfully increased
power within a brief period. Already
Japan has one of the strongest navicS
in the world and one of the most effcr-
tive standing armies. She is today a
formidable power and is building mort.
and better ships than any country save
England. and when it is consider"'t
that this navy has but a limited field
for its operations it can be appreciated
that any attempt to Subduc that little
country would be today anything but
an easy task. She has got to b
reckoned with in the approachin3
