Canadians Are Up in Arms Over the
Money Question.

Money Question.
Canadians are going to retaIiate on the
people of the United States" said a trav-
eler from the dominion to a Star man, in
the matter of the circulating medium. For
years past United States silver and paper
money, especially the former, have circu-
lated freely and to a large extent in Can
ada, and the same is true, to a smaller ex-
tent. however with respect to Canadian
money in the border states. Canadians nat
urally prefer their own money for business
purposes, but up 10 this time have had no
aversion to United States currency. Re-
cent experiences of many of them in this
country, especially those who visited the
Louisiana purchase exposition. have caused
a decided change of sentiment. They found
that Canadian money is regarded with sus-
picion. generally refused, and If accepted at
all, heavy discount is charged. The Wis
TORS national pride is assailed in very
Vulnerable spot-his pocket-and on his re-
turn to Canada he generally avoids Amer
lean money whenever possible.
Last summer thousands of Canadian
business men and women visited the ST
Louis fair To most of them 1t never &C.
Cured that they Should change their
money. They used so much American cur-
rency at home that they, naturally supposed
their own good Canadian bills would he
welcome under the stars and stripes But
they We're not and the refusal of the peo-
pie at ST. Louis and other cities to accent
the dominion cash, together with the greed
of the money changers caused incon-
venience and loss. When these people eot
back to Canada they determined to .soa k'
the intruding United States currency when
ever and wherever they found it. The feel
ing gained strength from the business and
banking as well as from an emotional
standpoint. AS result strong efforts are
being made to procure legislation to ex-
clude the undesirable money, so that the
field may be left clear to the Canadian
banks and government.

Begin With the Children.

There is but one way to build solidly for
the future" he said. 1T is to begin with
the children, as the mutualists are already
doing. We must inscribe every working
mans child for an old-age pension at the
moment it begins going to school. During
this school period, between the ages of six
and thirteen, the parents must pay mod
est premium for each, say, two cents per
week This is the sum paid by each of the
100000 mutualist school children, called the
-'petits caves The force of mutually comes
from early payments.
And the government will double each
child's payment" l asked.
Every one admits that the state must
participate he replied cautiously-'in spite
of the difficulties, he added. The first
money of the state ought to go to stimulate
voluntary efforts. Each year a credit for
the purpose could be inserted in the budget,
to be increased each year, as voluntary in

pensions in advanee-in such a way that in
the end the budget will have to make up
all the deficits! What a risk for our
financeS!
Here is the rock on which they all fear
splitting. Even M. Millerand hesitates to
calculate the sums that the government
will have to raise to satisfy the working
man.
He is originally a lawyer and newspaper
man, born at Paris In 1859. He was mu-
nicipaI councillor In 1884 and deputy In 1885.
From the beginning he has been great
debater. devoting himself to the working
man and voting as socialist. He combat

in 1880, however, that he developed as one

party. He interfered in strikes. became
