current rate of interest should mount above
the legal limit. This may prove a suffi-
cient safeguard against continued or
serious stringency. The Secretary of the
Treasury, having at command the list of hold
ers whose registered five per cents are out
standing, may be able to form some opinion
on that point. There is a possibility that
most of these bonds that have not been ex-
tended are held under orders of court or in
estates trust funds, or by institutions of
such a character that the proceeds would not
be employed in the loan market In such
cases the bonds may not be presented as long
as they can draw the full per cent interest,
even though the current rate in the market
may be high. Other indications as to the
probable course of holders may be drawn from
the lists at the Treasury. Secretary Window
is in better position than anybody else to
Judge whether more good than harm would be
done by any modification of his orders. The
country has full confidence in his good iudg-
ment, and trusts that he will give the subject

"FfIR TRADE" IN ENGLAND and JAPAN
One of the most significant signs of the times
in England is the ominous movement of the So
called :" Fair Trade party" 1t argues mucb
that such party should exist in Great Britain
at all but that its utterances, which are totally
at variance with English practice and tradi-
tons, should be received with the calm atten
ton which they have met from press and pub
lie, hints ut startling change i'm popular SEN
tlmcnt. We suspect that the middle class Eng
llshman is beginning to doubt the efficacy of
That international law of free trade estab-
lished by the Almighty" which has so long
been the foundation stone of his national Drin-
clples. Free trade has flooded Great Britain
for three years with cheap beef and bread from
America, ana Is driving the small farmers To
the alternative OF starvation or emigration IL
does not console them that Hodge the loborer
or the mechanic is able to give meat IN his
children every day instead of once a week. and
this although the wages which he is paid ara
reduced each year. English darymen have no
warmer welcome for cheap American cheese
than the farmers have for the beef Man
chester manufacturers cannot understand wbv
they should be worsted in their home markets
by American cotton goods. Hence the present
cutlery for "duty on foodn
Another urgent demand of this new party is
that some protection shall be given TO British
manufactures in British colonies. This can
only be done by making the colonies discrimi-
nate still more in their rates of tariff between
the imports from the mother country and from,
the United States. For the whole gist and aim
OF the present movement is directed against us.
1t Is matter with which, however deeplv il
may concern us financially we have morally
nothing to do. IT England chooses at this late
day to protect herself by tariff we have no
right to interfere Her rates of customs are no
exclusively her own affair as her barbor do
fences. But we have as much right To Interfere
Us she has with Japan when that weak. belnless
nation urges the necessity of an advance in her
rates OF duty, IN order that they may at least
pay the cost of collection. The one demand
may well supplement the other The 9Fa;r
trade party in England demand protection
against American food products at home and
American manufactures in English colonies at
the very time when the English press contemn-
tuousiy denounce the meek protests of the Jan.
ahese as unreasonable and contrary to the
teachings OF experience" The teachings of
experience seem to have brought the Englsh
farmer and the Japanese mechanic TO about the
same point. "Fair trade" in Greot R,itoin
appears to mean free trade i'm one countrv and |
protective tariff i'll another, not for the benefit
