AIlotments May BE Made Before They
Are Due 20 wife, Mother, or ReIa-
tive.
Reports received at the Treasury Depart
ment show that considerable misappreheu-
sion exists among shipping commissioners
end others as TO the effect OF section 3 OF
the act OF June 49, 1886, amending section
10 of the act Of June 20, 1884, SO far
as these statutes relate to the payment
oil wages to seamen. While some of
the shipping commissioners consider that
advance" wages can now bepaid,
others construe the law as forblddlng
such payments. The Treasury Department
has consequently Issued O circular instruct
ing all persons that payment of "adyancer
wages Is forbidden by the law, but that
allotments OF wages may be made before
they are due to wife, mother, or other
relative, or to an original creditor in liqui-
dation OF any just debt for board or clothing
which the seaman may have contracted
prior to engagement. But the statute limits
the allotment In the case OF creditor TO an
amount not exceeding $40 per month for
each month OF time usually required for the
voyage for which the seaman has shipped.
The circular says further: "No other
mode OF obtaining security at the port of
departure for the payment OF seaman's
debts from his wages before they have be-
come due is authorized by the statute, and
all attempts at evasions Of the law on the
part OF owners, agents, masters, or con-
signees, either by cashing seamen's promis-
sorry notes with a view to collection abroad,
by shipments at nominal wages for part
or the whole OF the voyage, by the sale OF
the seamen's kit to the mate or other per-
son, and TIE payment OF the proceeds TO
the sailors landlord, or by other analogous
devices,will be perilous, In view Of the pen
atty denounced by the statute.n

by Democrats who were better fitted for

uniformly upon this principle, while at the

Nevertheless, my course has been the
source OF persistent misrepresentation and
hostile attacks from Republican journals,

he felt might have a tendency TO create tho
impression that he was hostile 10 the adj

closing he acknowledges the uniform cour-
