minting silver, without free coinage in
fact, is as morstrous a delusion as
schem.ng politicians ever attempted to
hold up as a temptation for the strug-
Cling masses to vote the democratic tick
ct, It would be recognizing silver as the
gods of mythology are recognized in the
literature of our age--as valuable for
mythical purposes. ITO point a moral or
adorn a tale,'' but of no use m the practi-
cal concerns of life. And yet the chief
spokesman of the Iowa democracy favors
a bimetallism of this type, just as the
leading democratic newspaper of Mon
tana relegates to the worlds exchanges
the duty of adjusting the relative values
of silver and gold.
Last year the Inter Mountain expressed
the belief that the dem ocrats of the MD
die west would attempt to reunlte the Sill
yer and gold wings of that party through
a compromise on the silver question. The
ex-governor of Iowa has started the ball
to rolling by declaring that the deWOc-
racy will never accept the single gold
standard as It's rule of faith, that it will
never unite on the 16 to / ratio, and that
bimetallism does not necessarily imply
the minting Of silver. What a sweet
scented mess of p%olitical rot the demo-
cratic leaders are preparing to cram down
the tllroats of the intelligent voters OF
this nation.

WAS IT A SUcCESSs
This natio

With the closing of the peace mgr
at The Hague. opinions will differ as to
it's effect upon the military spirit OF the
age. Men who eat a great deal of beef,
indulge with more or less freedom in
beverages of a stimulating nature, and
who are gifted with belligerent attributes
of both body and mind, will argue that
the peace conference was a failure. But
those who incline to vegetarian habits
and whose mentality takes on the more
aesthetic side of life, and who take their
pronounce the meeting ar unqualified
success.
Men who do not belong to either ex-
IRENE will see in the work at The Hague
much of value in point Of influence and
ultimate effect, and little of immediate
concern to the international affairs of the
of a unitarian character was expected
at the outset, and that more has been ac-
complished than was predicted by those
who doubted the wisdom of the move
ment. Only the over-sanguine hoped for
the disarmament Of the nations as a re-
suit Of the congress. The delegates were
destitute of any owe that would bind
their respective constituencies, and what
ever their action it would be merely adj
visory in character.
That general agreements were reached
looking to the arbitration of international
| difficulties, and placing limitations upon
war, must be regarded as a long step in
the direction Of universal peace. The
, conference report will doubtless lead up
to a clearer and better understanding of
that vague proposition now known as
1.-The law of nations,' which is no law at
all. Growing out of the congress will
come a board of arbitration that will in
all probability receive recognition from
civilized powers, and this board will ex-
ercise judicial powers in that it will
classify and apply international law and
make it something more than a matter
of comfy between nations.
If the peace congress has lone nothing
more than to lay the foundations for a
more complete understanding as to what
rights shall or shall not be exercised ir
war, it has accomplished a great deal fol
mankind. The advocates of peace have
a right to congratulate themselves on thu
fact that the representatives OF rival ma
ions could meet on a common footing
and agree upon certain recommendation
that will. if carried out, result in the gen
eral benefit of the world, pointing to thu
growth of the peace sentiment and max
ing that end a inal possibility. Not al
ways will it be said:
1.-The cry of the Little Peoples goes up t.
God in vain.
For the world is given over to the crue
sons of Cain"

AN IOWA MOVEMENT.

1t must be conceded that Ex-Governor
Boise can speak Understandings for the
democrats Of Iowa. Not only is he the
one member Of hat party who made a
successful campaign for the governorship,
but he likewise enjoys the distinction of
having been the unanimous choice of the
democracy of his state for the presidency
in 1896. His views on pending questions
are therefore of more than passing inter-
est, for they may be interpreted as the ex-
preston of the party behind him. In dis
cussinG the issues Of 1900 recently the
governor said the democracy would a
a stand in favor Of "bimetallism." This
! would have cheered the heart of silver
men, and caused their hopes to brighten,
had not his late excellency qualified his
statement by explaining somewhat in de-
tail what he meant by "bimetallism." In
the course of his remarks he said:
Sixteen to one is not an essential Of
democratic faith. 1t never was, it cannot
be made so now. because the democratic
party will never be united in it's favor
In concurr.ng in the views of the Ana
conda Standard, relative to the ratio OF
16 to /. Ex-Governor Boise carries the ar
aument UP to it's legitimate conclusion
and does away with the necessity of mint
ing silver in order to AVE "bimetallism."
He supplies the missing Ink in the Stand
ards argument, as follows:
BY this (pr,nciple) l mean the equal and
concurrent use of both of the money met
ais as a basis Of a financial structure.
MINIS are not absolutely necessary for a
double standard. Coin is not a favorable
medium as an exchange. Paper is pre-
ferred.
This solution Of the problem does not
mean free coinage at Is to 1 or at any
other ratio, but merely the naming "o1
the money metals as a basis of a financial
structure" It would leave the relative
values Of gold and silver just where the
Standard placed them-to be regulated by
the worlds exchanges. 1t would contrib
ute nothing whatever to the bullion value
Of silver of to it's status in monetary
affairs.
The position taken by Mr.. Boise, and
which ''bimetallism'' without the fixed
ratio must inevitably lead up to, would
affect no changes in the present financia
system other han to partially supplant
metallic money with paper as a circulat'
p ing medium. None of the avantage:
that would come to the people through
+ system Of free coinage at a ratio of 16 to /
by the independent action Of this nation
. could be realized from the plan which
meets the approval of the Anaconda
Standard and the democratic ex-governor
. of Iowa. Not even the producers Of silver
bullion would profit by such a plan, FOL
the demand for the white metal would
: fall below what it is at present, price.
5 would shrink and the industry as sucl
would be permanently destroyed.

There is some question as to whether the

are entitled to the fifteen days exclusive

ers Humboldt and Farrallon, bring Dawson
advices up to March 5. The record trip
from Dawson to Skagway over the ice has

with Alexander Mcdonald, the gold king
to defraud a woman out of $4,000. The
''Klondike Nugget" of March 1 says that
this is but one of the many charges that
Fawcett cannot hope to escape, the mass os
evidence being against him.
