that because Of the feWness Of
gold dollars they have gone too
high. This reasoning tangles
things SO we can't get head or
tail to them. Now, it is not clear
to our mind what difference it
makes to a man whether he owns
one piece of money worth 200
cents or two pieces worth 100
cents each. We can understand
how it might effect a man who
was still owing a debt he had
contracted prior to the "crime OF
49," that is, we could under
stand it if it were proved that it
takes more of the products of in
dustry to buy dollar now than
it did then, but nobody seems to
be able to prove that. On the
other hand, some gold bugs in
sist that there is plenty of gold
and that it is increasing in guam
tity very rapidly, and that meas
ured by human toll the value of
the dollar 10 constantly decreasing,
while at the same time they are
busy devising schemes to induce
Nationol banks to increase their
circulation and also fighting the
retirement of the greenback. We
do not quite understand these fell
lows, either. Another class Of
gold bugs declare that you can't
use any more silver because it
will not circulate, and only piles
up as pig metal in the National
treasury vaults That looks like
a strong point, but the Secretary
of the Treusary tells US that gold
is piling up in just the same way,
so there goes the argument for a
money of ultimate redemption.
Here the populist steps in and
says, recognize nothing as money
but paper backed by government
fiat, and he points sneeringly at
the pigs of gold and silver
rusting in the vaults. He says
that the thing to do with that stuff
is to saw it up into Grand Army
badges and souvenir spoons.
Then comes the importers and
exporters-men who deal with
foreign nations to the extent of
1000 millions of dollars a year
they say, to thunder with your
fiat money, we must have money
of intrinsic value, good the world
over. And, then, the Silver man
takes q shot at the Populist, and
swears that his fiat scheme would
ruin the country ia 4 months.
The Pop comes back at him, say
ing if you can legislate into a sill
yer dollar 100 per cent more val
ue that in actually contains, why
can't you hit little harder and
legislate the whole thing? Now,
comes the N ational bank man
with his scheme. He says, vir-
tually, tarn this money matter
over to the banks, get the gov
ernment to back them and that
will solve the problem. Up
Jumps Bryan, sounding the trump
of doom, and pointing to the gi-
gantic and enslaving money trust
that plan 10 bound to breed
Now, we don't understand how
all these people can be right, and
we really don't know who is
wrong. Sometimes we think
the government ought to manage
the money business entirely, and
then we recall that a few years
ago Senator Allen tried to force
the issue of some 6ooo millions o.
government notes at one clatter
and we hesitate. Sometimes, we
think that free coinage would BE-
all right; but we can't understand

Just a loving lass is she;
Should you meet her by the way
You must note her changeful mood:
Sometimes wilful, oftenest gay.
Lashes now with teardrops wet
Hide the eyes Of deepest blue,
Now are lifted to reveal
Tender love-liSht shining through.
Rcd lipS, curved in smile or pout,
Never held Il malice yet:
the world may storm and frown
Hers the wisdom 10 forget.
Trcsses by the quick winds tossed
From their snood Of green appear,
As with springing step She comes
Down the highway Of the year.
With her sisters Of the wood
She is just Il loving lass;
Should YOU meet her by the way
Give her greeting rs you pass.

Trusts are Secure.

Speaking of trusts at the Union League
banquet, few days ago, Senator Lodge de-
clared in one breath that the Republican
party was prepared to combat any social,
political or economic evils to be apprehend
ed from such combinations, and in the next
breath he asserted that the party would
maintain the protective system, which is the
prolific mother Of trusts, and would extend
the protective policy ITO the upbuilding of
our merchant MARINE" thus creating the op.
portunity for new trust to be maintained
by direct contributions from the Federal
Treasury. From the outstart the existent
trusts have been sheltered under the wing
of the Republican party. 1t cannot be ex.
pected to turn upon and destroy its own
brood.
The speech of Senator Lodge may be taken
as an indication of the drift OF thought among
the leaders of the party. They insist that
they are warranted 10 their course by the
vote of the people at the late election. As
a matter of fact, the trusts were assailed by
both parties before the election, with here
and there blunt admissions by Republican
orators like Senator Hanna and Senator
Scott of the real attitude of the Republican
party - Wash Sentinel

Scents Danger

Representative Mccall, OF Massachusetts,
is one Of those long.headed Yankees who
appreciate the fact that, call 1t patriotism,
duty, progress, or whatever else they please,
the Republican majority in Congress must
confront the problem of cost in whatever
they DO. Signs are accommodating that this
session Of Congress will be the most extrav.
sgant on record; that millions will be
spoken Of and appropriated with as little
ado as II they were thousands, and that
there is likely TO be very large hole eaten
into the Governments money bags by this
process, unless careful and systematic &C.
count be kept from the beginning.
Mr.. Mccall is no less patriotic because he
is practical. He would be glad TO see this
country on a military equality with any
other, II It we're not for one or two vital OBJ
Jections: First, he believes 1t is putting too
much power TO do a lasting wrong in the
hands of the President TO double the army
at his own discretion; second, a little fgur
ing proves that the force TO be allowed will
be tremendous expense TO the Govern
ment.
In both propositions Mr.. Mccall will fnd
many people to agree with him. 1t would
be unrepublican 10 the extreme 10 permit
the Executive to increase the military force
10 any limit within twice its minimum
whenever he regarded the occasion as re
quiring It, In such a case Congress would
be helpless TO prevent wrong, and If the
Executive we're dominated by dangerous
political clique aiming solely at It's own
gain, the country could be precipitated into
no end Of trouble. A demonstration against
such procedure would be promptly check
ed by the dispatching of troops to quel it.
AS to the cost, Mr.. Mccall has done some
figuring to show that the French and Ger
man armies cost together $685., 900 900, the
British 800, 000,0 900, and the Russian $153,-
100000. In all these are included pensio Ms
and Notifications. This army reorganiza.
ton bill would mean the annual expendi.
ture of 100000, exclusive of pensions,
which now amount to $145, 100000 These
would bring the total to nearly $3.50 100000,
which is In excess Of the joint cost of the
French and German armies.
The passage Of the bill subsequently by
the House by vote OF 1856 to 1873 was al
most on strictly party lines, and seems to
Indicate that the Administration will be sup
ported in almost anything it undertakes, ex
cept perhaps in some OF the details. By
adopting the amendment prohibiting the
sale of intoxicants at military posts the
House rather ignored the argument 10 favor
OF the canteen made by several high army
officials But, as Mr.. Grosvenor said, If it
proves failure, as he thinks it will, Con
gress can undo it.
The wise counsel of Mr.. Mccall appears
to have been of little avail 10 pointing out
the danger that turks In the comforting of
such absolute authority as this bill gives the
Observation-Disclosures Sun.

Court the handsome salary of $4,000 a

for the creation of court to be composed

annually twice as much as a justice of the
