FROM A

F Tlie following letter was received at
this -office yesterday;. . V . 4

Editor Statesman:
I Iear Sir:-I wish to call your atten
tion to au editorial in your issue- of
.tug. J 1th. entitled, Vages and Cost
of Living." i '
I shall say nothing regarding your
htgic or want of logic, but I simply
call your attention to the following
ticrures , which appear iu that article.
You say that "from 1H to 17, with
two ami a half years of the Iriujrley
ranff-to help things along, the -savings
banks deiosits increased from
1tl.7474;l.a'-to .' wc4.-
Since- titer.- is hut aIout rXKI.fUXK
(mn In money of all kinds in-the
I'll i ted States, how is it 1hat the wage
earners ha vo more money 011 deiosit
than there Is money in "the United
States? The wage earners are look
ing at figures quite as much as you
editors, and when yon give us figures
rive us some explanation of them.
jThe wage earners don't take their
ni.edi'iti without knowing what it is
li-fore they take it.
,A V.'ACJK EAKXKR.
We presume that if our would-be
ireastic friend who signs himself "A
M'agi. Earner" were a farmer and had
11 hundred loads of hay, he would
v ant a hundred hay racks to haul it
v i;h. If ho had a thousand bushels
ijf wheat, he would want two thous
and half buslel measures to measure
i with. If he were a merchant and
) ad a thousand yards of calico, pre
sumably he would require a. thousand
yard iticks to measure it with.
The statcntcnt of the correspondent
is admitted. Tin-re are only altout
two thousand nfillions of "money" of
all kinds in the United States. We
furt l'r and tell our eorres
linl iit -that there is not that much
real money in the United Slates. Not
half that much. The money of redemp
tion of the United States -and .the rest
of the commercial vurld is gold. This
is the primary money, tlie measure of
v.-iiui. There are only a 1 tout eight
hundred millions of gold money iu the
United Stales. The oilier twelve hun
dred millions of "money'' is not money
in 1 he strict sense. It is made up
of representatives of money, silver
and patter and fractional inoncv of j
a!Jy."- Tlii." inHvc hundred million.!

Some ten to ttfteeii millions of it cir
culiiis occasiouaUy from hand to
ham" on I'll l'aciiic cast. Iitile of
it is seen outside of bank and treas
ury vaults in any other part of the
country.
Nearly all toe people of this country
are wage earn-rs. New.spapet editors
are nearly all wage earners, and they
generally earn all the wages tltey yet.
Think. -of the enormous ttal due to
waj;e earners from the railroads of
this country, with their l(S!i,.'UX miles
of lend! Of tlie auionuis. running up
intt tin thousands of -millions, from
the building and Joan associations? Of
tln life insurance ivnipanies! Of the
mutual insurance association all un-r

1 he public debt of the Lulled Mates
in iiver two Shoiif.'iud million. '11 ic
liabilities of the national banks aggre
gate live thons.'sud million.
The clearing house business of the
l ulled Stales for the wix months eiel
ing with June auiountid to forty-fhre
thunnand millions of dollars, and yet
only u very wnall proMrtioii of these
eight huitJrcd millions of dollars lit
gold was usitl in thes transactions.
The gold remained In the bank vaults.
The "money' for the bal.tno-s was
mostly made up of pajM-r representatives,-,
and iTicse amounteil to only ttve
to eight per -cent of the total suin.
The ri'st was .merely a transfer; of
figure. Merely a system tf lsok
keeping. The clearing house business
for the singh inoiiili of June aggre
gated m'Vcii ami a half thousand m.l
Hons of . dollars and Lin? gold re
uiaiiied in its hhlderi phices In the
dark vaults. . v I . :
tedd, the primary money, in unTely
a i ii'asure of value and a store of
value., one dollar Js a yanl stick of
value that may ineasure n million
different transactions. It is nt U.-41I
up by 'being; passed .'from Ita ml to
hand, or nrore often, transferred'' 011
the ledger pages of the lsok keeisrs.
It is worth just as niucli after meas
uring a million transactions as ir it
had only just leeu dug " out
of the Isjweld of the earth ; aad had
tlie official stamp of its weight ''and
fineness, ami therefore . of Its 'value,
put upou it in the mint. ' : ; ' .
.; This store and measure of value
is Iteing added to enormously in. the
United States. Although a very small
proportion W- of the W.UOtUiOO
worth of -gold now" In. the
country is in actual circulation from
hand to hand, some $73,twO,JttQ a year
Is beiug added to It from our mines
being 'piled up In the vaults. The sav
ings bank J depositors use very Tittle
of this gold. They do upt tee the gold.
1 1 would earn them' nothing if hid
awsiv. They wafit merely patter rep
resentatives of i1s value, to deiosit
and bear theni interest, or to pass ou
to others for. the necessaries and. com
forts of life. Not only are our mines
adding to the store of actual gold, but
our manufactures and agriculturaj
products are adding enormously to
our credits in other countries, which
are iiayable in gold on demand. The
excess of our exports orpr our im
ports for l.V.iS. is; to and Woo, three
years to June "JO, were $l,..77S.7Sn.
The wonderful significance, of these
figures may be. the-: better realized
wlreii it is stated that the total ex
cess of exports over inqwrts for the
whole period from 171) to June o.
117. was only $'&i,m),iV2.
We trust that our correspondent will
not allow any one to scare hint with
the notion that these savings bank
depositors are going to draw out all
the money in the United States and
put it hi their pockets and thus im
povcrisdi the rest of the people! This
seems to le the inference he wishes
drawn from the fact which he has
discovered.
The dealers seem anxious to take
care of the hop growers this year.
This is a gowl sign. The! main thing
iurst of the growers need.: however, is
a good price lor their, iroduct.
It would sit-in that the great news
agencies ought to give more reliable
information from (,'hina than has been
coining from tlmt country.
As sou as 4 he campaign gets f:i
under way, we will realize that
the liars ate not'in China'.

A novel' and curious case iu copy
right is that dcchhsl by tin- House of
Lords in favor of the London Times.
There is m otiicial publication of the
sie cl:es in I'ai liainenf corresponding
with ll-c I'oiigrcssiona! Kecotd and the
1-higlish new! aj.i t s employ their own
.t !tog:aph ts to -make s'lclr repj'fs
a tlii-.v ri'"iiiii-. In this way the
Times some year ago. rejfori-.d in
exlcnso a number of h-ading speeches'
by Lord ltosi bery. . Sulis .-qtieiitly
publisher, with the Carl's pej. mission,
uride tip a volume of his sin-eci-es. I'o-
i-au'pa'gn purposes, using the text
Hat had bei-u printed in t hi" Loudon
Tillies.
The newspaper, which had taken
tiie prcc.i ;it ion to enter its reports for
copyright, .brought suit for in fringe-1
tin-til, asking an iujttuct ii.n on the sal -of
the pei-ciies. v.hi;h it claiiu'il as
its property. Naturally (his proiH-rty"
right was ih-iiii-d. and the a lgu.iie'it
on the jim' raised ail maune;- f ab
stract it;estinus uiu tin' nature and
jim poses of copyright. It was carried
-through all the courts and ib-c'dcd
against the claim of the rcMH-ler. The
Times took a lin.il appeal to the I louse
of Lords, which has reversed the de
cision of the Court of Appeals and
given the conclusive 'judgment in fa
vor of t he Times.
According to our American theory
oT copyright, as founded on "Ihe nat
ural dominion which- every one has
over his own ideas," this semis to as
sume ihat the reporter is tin author
of the ."speech. Jis som. -limes m iloidit
he is. though waively in this .case. It
will lie observitl that Lotil KoselK-ry's
rights in the matter do not enter into
consideration. As the Jrd Chancellor
observed, "each rciHrier is ciititktljo
his owu.reiMirt" and then- might bi
as many i-opyrights as rcportcri. Pre
sumably, if Koril Itosi-lH-ry wished to
keep control of his ideas, he should
haie provided his own tejxnter and
thus M-cored his iipyright. Having
tailed 'o ilo so. it was ojk-ii to tin
Times repot er to obtain the owner
ship of hi i ch.. Tonl Ilalsbury's
view of copyright being that it "Is
given by xatute to the lirst priMluccr
of a liook."
We do not Ih-Im-x e this would bold in
the courts of lln Unib"! Slates. They
might decide th.nt a public -man who,
has i:ttere. h's iditis, without previ
ously '-securing them, has d'slicatitl
theni'to the pnblh- and lost any ex-j
cltortve control; but that tln-y would
recognize tin' right of another to pick
up his words and make them his own
prejsTty. we doubt, even in the face
of the IIousi of Itrds. Copyright' is
nei-e-sKarily depend'-nt on statntis, and1
whlh the Unglish law. has bad In view

evn bFs i'iolitical enemies will have

uare that this jrouutry has a man with
such a cool head, broad mind and
sympathetic heart and a man with
suVh "experienced statesmanship and
practiced diplomacy, at the head -of its
government . to meet file difficulties
that will now arise beyond the PaeilSe.
They are large hi comparison wlth
the questions of policy and action that
have up to this time confronted the
