Free Trade versus payment of the ma
tional debt In this week issue of the New
Age. the editor in an article headed mo
More Bonds" approves of the application
of the surplus revenue to the payment OF
the bonds, and estimates that "under the
existing conditions of the revenue. the
same surplus will be sufficient to pay of
the entire national debt by the
end of the present decade" And
arguing against the cessation of
that reduction and the issue of long time
bonds he says: "Their (the people's) in
terests demand that their bonds shall be
paid, not refunded to remain a burden on
their industries for generations" So far /
think no republican will quarrel with him.
The republican party has always by word
and deed advocated speedy payment Of
the national debt. But in another article
on the same page. the editor. in the inter-
est of free trade, argues against raising
any more revenue than is necessary to de.
fray the expenses of government. II this
policy is adopted and continued of course
reduction of the debt must cease and the
debt become perpetual. Now which Of
these policies does the New Aage mean
to favors You pays your money and
you takes your choice" Il.

BosToN, Oct. 13.
Insurance Commissioner Tarbox has made
public statement of the result of his invest
igation of the affairs of the City of London
Fire Insurance company, of which John G.
Paige is resident manager. TarbOx says the
result is satisfactory, and that the company
is found in a sound financial condition and
fully able to meet its obligations; but unsat-
isfactory in that it discloses important viola
tions of the law and discreditable business
conduct, and recklessy false statement
made under oath to sthe insurance depart
ment by the resident management. Paige
processes himself unable to give any inform
alton or explanation as to the persons who
prepared the statament or the means by
which the results were arrived at with the
reforming in the conduct of its affairs. The
commissioner sees no reason why the COM
