ITS PRaCTICAB1LIrY.

Gov. MERRIAM elaborates this plan, of
which the GLOBE here gives but brief
outline, shows the advantages which it
has over the other schemes which have
been suggested. and meets some obiec-
tions which have been offered to it. He
crIticiSeS Mr.. HARTER's idea of cur
rency based on the securities of rail-
roads and other quaSI-public corpora
tons by saying tnat any circulation
based on debt is of necessity unelastic.
When once issued. it remains a1oat
even when not needed, because its very
safety eliminates the incentive for its re-
demption. He criticises the late Mr..
KNoX's plan of currency based on gold
deposited by the banks with the central
government. on the ground that the
privilege would not be profitable
enough to warrant the banks in taking
advantage of it. And he disposes of the
advocates of an irredeemable currency
based on government promises by the
familiar references to the experience of
the Argentine Republic and the days of
wildcat banking in this country. In
general, he make out strong and at
tractive case for the method he favors,
and which undoubtedly has many mer-
its to commend it to the consideration
of the thoughtful.
Should All attempt be made. however,
to put this or any similar plan into
practical operation, it would be found
to run counter 10 prevailing popular
feeling which could not be overcome.
From the beginning the enormous profits
of the banking business under the ma
tional bank act have excited hostility to
that measure. When the Institutions
thereby created had been in existence
only three or four years, the annual
statements of their condition attracted
general attention. 1t appeared that in
this short time, after paying large divi-
dends, they had accumulated surplus
averaging nearly % per cent of their
capital stock. People reasoned that
there must be something wrong with
legislation which delegated govern
mental privileges as valuable as these
10 private concerns without eXacting
any compensation in return. Justly or
unjustly, sentiment grew up that
profits so large could be earned only by
an oppressive use of their franchises :;
and, while many banks have since been
established and are establishing today,
for that matter, there has been no abate-

HOME PRODUCTS.

There is something Of an epidemic of
effort in aspiring Western cities to IN
duce the residents to consume the prod
ucts of local industries in preference to
the articles brought in from abroad.
Reference has usually been had to the
more notable manufactures used by the
men. 1t has been shown in st. Paul,
for instance, how much could be effect
ed by the consumption exclusively of
beer, cigars and some other articles
produced in the locality. Until the
data are gathered it would not be cred
tied how large are the proportions of
the question. The ladies, however,
have not usually had their rela-
tions to the subject brought to mind.
In the chic and promising young
commercial metropolis of South Dakota
recently the ladies have been looking
over their ranges in connection with
concerted effort to aid the Industries Of
the place. A COMMITTEES of the most IN
t1uential women of the city has taken
hold of the matter. One of the prelim-
mary steps was to confer with all the
ladies' societies of the place, to invite
their cooperation. 1t was found that
very considerable field for effort was
entered upon. Probably in the Dakota
city the local productions that enter into
the female economy are much fewer
than in st. Paul. but they were found
10 be quite numerous. When the in
veptory of the pantry, the kitchen and
the bordoir is taken, it is discovered
that the catalogue is varied and fills up
quite robust bills. There may be some
thing worth considering in this locally,
in this direction.

FLOCKING WEST

Some of those who regard all the acts
of official people in New York state as
necessarily vicious and against the gen
eral good find one Illustration of it in
the recent census. They allege that
the increase is abnormal in the two
great cities, but in the rural districts
there is even reduction in some coun-
ties. 1t is not improbable that the farm
ing districts OF New York are losing
III any of their good citizens. This is re-
ported as specially TIE case in Ohio, In
diana and Illinois. The migrants are
not confined tU those of small means,
although these are most apt to seek more
favorable conditions. In Illinois the
number of renters is surprisingly large.
probably greater in proportion than in
almost any other state. Ordinarily it
takes about all the margins to meet
their rentals, averaging about 81 per
acre. Last year was good crop season,
and many of the renters were able to
save something to enable them to 90

land of their own. In the old states

NUN IOWA T,ECCON

After a struggle of decade state pro-
hiDitiOn has apparently gone by the
board in Iowa. 1t is assumed that the
bill which has inst passed the senate
will become law. 1t repeals prohibit
ton, and leaves the question to the
counties and towns, with some inmate
rial resolutions as to frequency cf cleo
-tions and amount of license. This con-
cluSlon in Iowa will lead to the end of
state prohibition. 1t will linger a few
years in a few states that have put it in
! their constitutions. but the fact is so
apparent that few will care to dispute
it, that such enactments can only be
made effective in localities where the
sentiment is overwhelming in their sup
port. The people of Iowa are among
the most intelligent, and they are not
surpassed by any in devotion to
public order and morals. The state
! has no large cities. A majority
of 10000 voted for the principle
ten years ago. The statute was made
rs stringent as legal ingenuity could de-
wise. Except in few border towns,
the most rigorous efforts have been made
for its enforcement. An excellent ex-
ample Of this is afforded in Des Moines,
the capital. The Republicans have had
complete control of the city and county,
and prOfeSsed to be conscientious and
unsparing in their efforts, yet it is not
denied that 220 places in the city, be-
sides the drug stores, sell liquor. The
Republican party of the state has never
failed to assert its devotion to the cause
and its purpose to stand by the law.
just before its enactment it had carried
the state by S,059 plurality. Four years
ago it was still able 10 roll up 31,711
plurality for HARRISON. The conviction
that the law was failure had not
become so general then as since. The
governor about that time still asserted
that it was as we'll enforced as other
criminal statutes. But in 1889 a Demo
crat opposed to the law was elected
governor, and two years later had a still
larger majority. Should the prohibi-
tionists carry out their threat to bolt
the Republican party on account of the
conniyance of the leaders at the repeal,
it will lose 10000 or more votes and
pass into hopeless minority. The
Iowa lesson is not likely to be lost on
the party leaders in other states.

AN UNPOPULAR RULING.
Chairman Finley Succeeds


Chairman Finley Succeeds in
Making More Trouble.
CHICAGO, March 12.-Chairman Fin
ley's latest ruling, which was sent out
to the members of the Western Passen-
ger association today, threatens to dis
concert the plans of some of the roads.
1t relates to business in connection with
the Knights Tempar conclave to be
held at Denver next August. A few of
the lines have already contracted for
the transportation of communicates,
and the contracts made provide that
delegates, on the return trip, may have
choice of routes east OF the Missouri
river.
The ruling of the chairman is to the
effect that the arrangements made do
not contemplate variation of routes
east of the Missouri river. All that has
been so far agreed to in relation to this
business is that one fare rate shall be
made, tickets to be sold Aug. Sd to 18th,
with final limits for leaving Missouri
river points Oct. Il. All other matters
must be the subject of further agree
ment. The ruling is severely criticised
by some of the members, who hold that
routes may be varied IN connection with
special business the same as with
ordinary traffic.

ment of the prejudice against the sys

The GLOBE does not comment on the
intelligence of these views, but they are
unquestionably widely entertained, and
the CHASE law has been submitted to
rather because no safe substitute has
been discovered for it than because its
friends were in majority. In the face
of this, to agitate for the extension OF
still more generous grants to national
banks would be hopeless undertaking.
The average voter would believe that, If
private concerns were to be given the
control of the volume of the circulating
medium, the country would be at the

the nations monetary system is mat
ter of too great importance to be en-
trusted to any one but the government
itself, and they would turn deaf ear to
arguments, however logical, which
sought to prove anything else. This
may or may not be wise, but for the
present it is at least conclusive. Great
industrial conyulsionS may attend their
efforts to work out the problem i'll some
other way. but until these have been
