5 TV August 18, 1898 'WHEN WE'LL ALLY. WHEN ENGLAND EXTENDS THE HAND OF DEMOCRACY, WE WILL GRASP IT. Bat W Will Xfot n Taken la hf tho n tlmoat That I Fannad bf the Ouldoe roej Wo Respoet tho Kogllsh I'aoplo, bat DUtrait British Institutions, The oourso of evonti in the United States for tho lust ton year Indicated unmistakably the coin pi 0 to restoration of our impuired bimetallic ayitein of money. If that reiteration can be pre vented by any power, national or inter national, then, of a certainty, all the obligation! of the United State will be made payable in gold only, in which event Great Britain will receive her payniont according to the coveted stand ard of gold. If the complete rontorn (ion of onr bimotallle ayatem ahottld be effected, then Great Britain, ai onr prinoipal creditor, will have to aooopt in payment tho dollar of tho law and tho nnntraot that is. the alternative dollar of ailver or gold at the option of the payer. To prevent thit contingency la one of the mot t powerful and interested motive which ban existed since that date when the"preorvation of the pub lln mwHfc" mid the "dcfonHO of the Utt tlnniil honor" became the hypocritical watchword of the money king of the world. If we ahould ontor into a fraternal mt.rnf-n with (Jroft Britain, if wo atinnld Ihwiitih alllud With her in inti mate friendship and co-operation in the manner lUKKcnted by tne prevailing en hnBininn. then of a certainty the bi metullio system of money will receive Its nnlntiiM forevpr. Then of a certainty will tbo dollar of tho contract be finally discarded from both the national and international tiosiuoaa of mankind, and tho (tingle stundurd of gold will bo riveted upon all notion. To accom plish thi Mid 1 worth mncli to Groat Britain. To accomplish it i a burden to the United State. To ncoomplUli thi end will' fill the coffer of tho money lord of London and Amsterdam to overflowing with tho gold of the Americuu mine and mint, bnt it will leavotho United Htatea Impoverished and will reduce our people ultimately to industrial servitude. If thi were Just, we should have nothing to say, but it M not just. On the contrary, it it wholetalo outrage and robbery. We have not promiod to dischargo our obligution to Europe ac cording to the standard of gold. This fact 1 10 notorious that when the re cent bond grab of $400,000,000 wa carriod through congress under the pro t.nua f,t f uriilnlilnfl revr-nuo for the i.rniiAnntinn of the Bnanish war tbo bond ordered were once more by spool llr.Rt.inn made navablo not in gold, but in coin only. Tho policy of the money twiwer in all the world is to force upon the word "coin" the meaning gold, and tbo hope of doing thi has been the deep down motive with those who bave touched off the prevailing conflagration of soutiment and enthusiasm for an Anglo-American allianoe. J We will have none of it. We are not to be taken in. Onr gullible age has passed. Bitter experience bus somewhat improved our faculties. We intend to stand fast with the old democratic re public. We intond to stand with it or fall with it Our fortunes are all in volved, and our hopes for the future, the aspirations which we cherish for the ooraiug glory of a free government, instituted by the people for themselves, are all part and parcel of the policy of national independence as against all en tanglement with foroign powers. There are conditions, howevor, under wbioh the enso may be different. If the concession shall be made from tho other side and uot from this sido, then we are willing to join bauds and fortunes with all them that make it. What does the concession involve? It involves on the part of the European governments the abandoumeut of thoir mediwval pretension and the acceptance of demoo rue n the bottom tiriuoiple of society and state. With this, and nothing less than this, we shall be satisfied. We, too, hope in some good day to see inter nationality accomplished. We also cher ish the dream ttmt the time will come when nations shall be fraternal. But we have oneuudovlating principle upou which our hope and our dream are based, and tlint principle is aud that drmin t that tiie nations, becoming frutenial, shall also beeome both donio cratlo and buumna, Hortwliury monarchy, and indeed monarchy of any kind, consist not with buttisti lltmrty and with the wul fare of tho raw Monarchy Is a sham, it I a delusion.

They have tne doctrine 01 eutuil. Thy have everything of ail in stitutional character which is not dom ocrutio except ulways the magnificent bouse of common and tho responsible ministry.

Last week Bradstrcct and Dun, the oommerciul agencies of Now York, an nounced thut the month of July wa the best for business in the country's history. On the other bond, tbo super intendent of the free employment bu reau of this city, who is in a position to judgo the situation quite accurately, says that the demand for help decreased fully 20 per eeut during the month, and that application for jobs steadily in creased. Without a doubt tho conditions in othor industrial centers are about tho same as in Clevt luud, and it follows, consequently, that eveii with a steadily increasing volume of business no per ceptible impression can be made upon tbe unemployed army, if indeed it does not grow in size, which i the tendency at present. If Bradstrcet and Don are correct, it 1 unmistakable evidence thut labor saving and newer methods of pro duction and distribution are accom plishing greater result than even the most careful students or eoonoiuir could foresee.

Two TUwi RcprcMQUd Befora tba Uo of Building ood Loaa AsaooiittlOBS. At the annual national convention at Omaha of the United State League of Local Building and Loan Association the postal savings bank system was one of tho principal subjects of discussion. Since tbe agitation for postal banks in this oountry baa become ao wmespreaa tbe members of the league were anxious to know what might be the possible ef fect upon their associations 01 tneestao llabment of this system. Consequently two of the most prominent member 01 the league were selected to present pa per on the subject at tbe Omaha meet ing. O110 of those twrsons was Mr. Ju lius Storn of tho Chicago bar, who was prosideutof tho national league in IHUU. The othor wa Judge Seymour Dexter of New York, who wa president of the loaguo in lorn. Mr. Stern' address first gives a hl- tnrv of the noatul suviiiK bank move ment uud an uooouut of the working of the system in other oountrlce wnero it a in oneratlon. lie readies tne conclu sion that the establishment of the sys tem would be of great benefit to tbo people of this country. Mr. Stern then tukes tin the relation of nostoflloe bunks to building and loan associations and reaches the conclusion that members 01 thnsn associations should woloomo rath er than oppose tbe establishment of the postal savings system. There mignt ue a small amount of lntorreronoe between the two nystema, bnt this, he bolievea, would bo of slight importance. He points ont certain ways in which tho nnstal bank svstom would tend to strengthen the building and loan asso ciations and help (hem to fulfill their special mission. The postal bunus, too, would bo of great bonolit to tnonsauas who, for one reuson or another, oonld oot possibly avail thomaolvea of the op portunitle to aave afforded by the building association. Mr. Storn evi dently believes there cannot be too many agencies for encouraging saving and in culcating habits of thrift among the peoplo, lie bel loves, too, that thero i a field for each v. lthout oncroaohiug upon tho domain of the other, This is tho idea that should wevail. Judge Dexter, who presented tne oinor noner. does uot believe in postal banks. Ho bases bl opposition on general principles, however, and not on any nociul menace of postal banks to tbe nrosnor tv and permanence or building and loan associations. The following Quotation from hi address indicates the line of his oppositions "I am opposed to any United States postal savings system because It is uot in harmony with tho theory ana priuci nliis nnon which our institutions are founded. The domain of our govern ment should be confined to guarding, supervising and educating it citizen in tbe possession aud handling of their own property, rather than to become their custodian and investor. To make the Government the custodian and in vestor of the poople's savings tend to tbe growth and development or pater nalism in Kovernment." This is simply an appeal to the old scarecrow, paternalism, which li losing its power with tbe people. Mr. Stern gives attention to this point, and says that the cry of paternalism must be waived as soon as raised, for in this conntrv the Doonle are tbeffovernment. In oonsoqueuce the oo-opcrutive effort of the people to make use or tneir gov amuiont for tbe accomplishment of a given object is not "patoruallsm," but "fruteruullsm. " Tbo discussion of this subject before the leading members of tbe building and loan associations of the oountry cannot but prove beneficial. It cannot bo doubtod that a largo proportion or theso members will look upon tho postal bunk, not as a rival to be opposed, but as another helpful institution working for tbe same end aa their own, but tie- aignod to supply a ueod for saving facili ties which the building association Is not expected to satisfy.
