HE movement coming from granger
sources to induce the New York legisla-
ture to reduce the legal rate of interest
in that state to five per cent. is one of
the s%tupidest propositions Imaginable.
1t will result IN bringing about the very
reverse of the desired end, which is cheap
money. The leading financiers of New
York city, in a strong protest against
the bill, state the whole case when they
say they are "convinced by experience
that a low rate of interest for money is
best secured by competition through
the ordinary laws of supply and de
mand, and that a reduction OF the rate
OF interest is best attained by the com
petition OF lenders with each other, and
that no more serious injury can be in
Hlcted upon u state than would be
produced by the repression OF CONNER.
cial activity through the measure pro-
posed"
The Portland O~regonian says of this
protest:
One of the %strangest things in this age
of wonder is that it becomes necessary Mt
times to make a statement of this kind, To
ignore the ordinary avs of supply and de-
mand is to confess to an inability to OBJ
serve the practical workings of finance, of
production, of consumption. To tamper
and tinker with the forces which govern a
states commercial life, in defiance of the
memorable laws of supply and demand, is
to divert home capital TO other places where
il ran aacura hptfar rawar6 In addition ~
this, in the case of New York, the proposed
reduction of interest to five per cent. would
as the committee above named states thu
the case, prevent capital going there Il
now from all parts of the world to partici
pate in the prevailing commercial ~activit,
with which the prosperity of the large agri
cultural and mechanical interests of tn,
country are closely identified" 1t need

PRESIDENT CLARKsoN's remark that
the G. Q. p. would carry New York and
the New England states, and other
doubtful electoral votes, on the protec-
tion issue, leads the New York World
to call his attention to the fact that
"the congressional contest was fought
%squarely upon the Mckinley bill last
year, and the democratic majorities in
the doubtful states we're: New York,
$4,000; Connecticut, 1900; New Jersey,
$4,000; Indiana, $4,000; Illinois, BLOOD;
Iowa, 5000; Wisconsin, $4,000; Michi-
gan, 1900. The democrats will be very
glad to have the republicans try and
fight Waterloo over again.

Most people are fond of "ex-tremes." Those
who have never given the matter any thought may
consider this a remarkable statement, but let them
reflect just a little and they will sustain our asser-
ton. Say for instance, your appetite is not as good
want them either extremely sour or very sweet,
very salty, or very spicy. 1t is with your other
wants Just as it is with your appetite. You have
all the clothes you need, you can make this do and
can make that do. All at once you enter a store
see some article which pleases your taste, as a good
dresser it takes something s'EXTREME'' to allure
you to buy. We show "EXTREMES" in all
departments of our large store. No matter how
much your purse permits you to pay for a thing,
YOU want the latest ; something different from what
your neighbor is wearing, if possible, something
extremely stylish. We show not only ak
TREMES," as just stated, but immense varieties
of new and tasty wearing apparel for men, boys
and children. Have you ever seen those Extreme"
styles in mems suits /? And those extremes" in
children's suits /? Our shoe department is replete
with all the best markets produce. Prices in all
our departments low enough ito enable everybody
to purchase. If we have fitted you out already
this season, call again.
