Figures of the pension depart
ment-show that the old soldiers
are passing away at the rate of
40, 600 q year. Ten years hence
the parades must be by men past
20, and in 20 years but q small
band OF the mighty host will be
left. Objections to pensions have
almost ceased, and were never
warranted by the facts in the
case. The nation thst does not
honor the men whom it calls TO
the field to offer their lives as
patriots, is not worthy the
sacrifice demanded. No one has
yet been able to say that the
United States is such q degener-
ate country.

But few of the average run of
people are aware of the great
difference in the wage scale of
this country and that of the old
world. Taking 1902 as an ex-
ample, the. average wages paid
are: Great Britain, $1.45 per day;
France, Sl.34; United States,
$3.50, and other countries in
proportion to England and
France. With this difference,
and an abundance of work and
money, it is not to be wondered
at thatimmlgrants are swarming
in from all over the world.

Worlds Fair COmmissiOn

Mr.. w. B. Saunders returned
the first of the week from Huron,
where he met with the other
members of the worlds fair
commission, and where an organ
ization was effected as follows:
President, S. w. Russell; vice
president, j. L. Boucher; secre-
tary, T. r. Farmer; treasurer,
w. B. Saunders.
Mr.. Saunders says that the
work of the commission was
mapped out in a general way,
the intention being to erect the
state building in the form of a
corn palace. It is believed that
a most unique and beautiful
design for the building can be
secured. Besides this state
building which will serve as
reception room and headquarters
for South Dakota visitors, it is
intended to have a complete
exhibition of the resources of
the state, both agricultural and
mineral, and also it's educational
advantages and privileges. In
regard to this latter State
Superintendent Nash is enthus-
iastic, and will make a continuous
effort to have an educational
exhibit at ST. Louis that will be
of value to the state. In the
mining exhibit the Black Hills
mining associations have ar
ranged to supplement the state
exhibit with a $25 5000 exhibit
provided by private subscrip-
ton. No care or reasonable
expense will be spared to make
the wonderful agricultural re-
sources of the state truly
representative. With the splen-
did growth of everything
vegetable this year, a fine
exhibition of South Dakota farm
products can be made. The
best specimens and selections
made from the various county
fairs, carnivals and the state
fair will be secured to make the
exhibit an attractive. and repre-.
sentative one. Every article
on exhibition will be plainly
labeled with name of grower, and
the town and county in which
the product was raised. 1t will
be remembered that both wheat
and oats raised in Grant county
several years ago and which
were first exhibited at the local
fair and later. sent on to the
Paris exposition, were awarded
gold medal prizes. Certainly
this year the agricultural pro-
ducts Of Grant county will be
well worth showing if the con-
ditions continue anything like
they have been SO far during the
season. The only necessity will
be for farmers to keep the
matter in mind and preserve
samples for the fair.

Statistics show that the
average total amount of public
schooling per capita in this coun-

Wall street Turns To Bryan.

Detroit Free Press (Dem }:
While little is taking place 10
national politics to warm the
cookies of Mr.. Bryan's heart, he
must be deserving more or less
Quiet satisfaction from the
criticisms directed against the
Hon. Joseph G.. Cannon of illinois,
by the eastern newspapers and
the Wall street journals of finance
M. Cannon, who will be the next
speaker of the house, has said
the Aldrich currency bill would
not be considered by the next
congress, and there was no
general demand for a rubber
currency" This frank and I'M
qualified attack on the Aldrich
financial program has panied the
east excessively, and Mr. Cannon
is variously represented as an
arch and bucolic enemy of pro
gress.
Mr.. Cannon said that the
demandfor a rubber currency
was made to satisfy the specula.
tive desires of Wall street, and
that the rest of the country had
all the money it needed for it's
business. "What does Mr. Can
ton mean by rubber?
the Wall Street Journal. Does
he deny the value Of elasticity Is
rigidity an essential quality for
bank note circulation? If that is
so, why does not Mr.. Cannon have
a law enacted to abolish the use
of checks? They constitute a
currency system which is all
rubber. The check system is SO
elastic that their value expands
and contracts with the varying
pressure of business,
All this must conjure up before
Mr.. Bryan's delighted eyes new
visions of the great Nebraskan's
panacea for all the ills of the cur
rency system, namely, the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of Is to /. There is
elasticity for you, and plenty of
it. Free silver would expand the
currency until even Wall street
could not promote new billion
dollar trusts fast enough to
absorb all the money that was
pouring into the market and this,
we are given to understand, is
the only ideal financial system
that a country can maintain
There must be enough money to
meet all the needs of Wall street;
so that four corporations capital
lied for 81, 200, 900, can be merged
and capitalized for 5000, 900
and the securities disposed of
before the water begins to leak
out.
The condition that Wall Street
now bemoans is precisely the
condition that Mr.. Bryan and the
populists bewailed in 1896. There
is not enough money in the
country TO do the country's bust
ness. The currency must be in
iated. Mr.. Bryan would initiate
it by the free coinage of silver at
the ratio Of Is to L. Wall street
would initiate it by issuing an
asset currency secured even by
railroad bonds. And when this
asset currency had been stretch
ed to it's limit. Wall street will
still have a few little mergers to
unload, and new desires for a
more elastic currency, secured,
perhaps by the daily bank
balances or the checks that pass
through the clearing house
every noon. The difference
between Wall streets dream of
an elastic currency and Mr..
Bryan dream lies chiefly in the
fact that there is a limit to the
amount of silver that can be
taken from the mines, but
practically none to the securities
that can be turned out by a
