A Lesson In Political Economy.
The other day a South African
mine manager, or somebody Of
that ilk, according to the London,
England, Daily Times, happened
to see something cleaning in the
primeval clay belonging to his pa
trfOtic and imperial limited liabil-
ity company. With a pardOnable
curiosity he put in his thumb and
pulled out the plum, which turned
out to be the biggest uncut dia
mond In the world. From that
moment the poor fellow, who had,
after all, done nothing amiss, had
to be protected by a small battal-
ion Of police, all Of whom doubt.
less wanted, like the rest Of hui
manity, to murder him, because
be vas, through no fault Of his
own, the victim Of singularly m
happy circumstances. Finally the
diamond was brought to England,
insured for half 3 million golden
sOvereigns and deposited for bet
ter or worse in the strong room Of
a bank. Presumably it will be
sold to adorn the swan.liks throat
OF dark IOve-IOcks Of some Ameri-
can million. heires and finally It
viii end it's career at Monte Carlo,
where It will deposited as security
for q loan negotiated at the prinCi-
pal pawnshOp in favor Of some
bankrupt duke, who sees noreason
Why bis imported wife should not
wear paste.
Now it seems to me that this
diamond is chiefly valuable, not
because ID is a jewel which it is 8
peril and 3 nuisance to posses but
because it teaches to ell the world
a free lesson in political economy.
We are assured by Lord Miner
that the prosperity Of South Airi-
CO depends upon the companies
paying high dividends, which will
attract capital into the country.
The discovery OF this diamond
should mean good dividends, and
yet 1t is preposterous to suggest
that South Africa is richer after
the diamond has been exported
than, when the diamond lay
buried, like British soldiers IN
the sacred earth. What has hap
pened is that 3 certain definite
value has passed from one country
leaving it poorer, to another
country, making it richer. There
has been no ssoverspilp' except.
the wages paid TO the detectives
and one or two railway fares.
Let rs suppose that the dia
mOnd worth bali 3 million had
been 3 more useful kind Of carbon,
as, for instance, coal worth half ;
million. The hevlng Of that coal
would have n~ecessitated the pay.
ment n wages Of say $3.50, OOO-
assuming 3 figure merely ior the
sake Of argument. The margin
for dividend would have been
smaller b that amount. yet the
prosperity Of South Africa would
have been greater By that amount,
