Time associates concerning the details of
the organization of American Railway

was secretary and treasurer of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen for a dozen
years, but though unanimously reelected
last fall, resigned
In an interview Mr.. Debs said that al
though there are in the United States from
100000 to 100000 railroad employees not
more than 1500 600 are members of organize
tions. He gave as the reasons for the
small memberships in the various orders
now i'll existence that their machinery was
too cumbersome and altogether too cXpen-
sive.
There was also, he said, too much one
man power in the present organizations;
that it was proposed to gather all branches
of railroad employees into the new order
and that its expense would he reduced to
the minimum. There would he no initiu-
tion fee and as few officers us possible.
Scheme OF Organization.
The organization will not be a secret

II Is time that the Administration at
Washington settled down TO business.
The President and the Cabinet officers
have devoted a sufficient number Of
entire days TO oflice-seekers. They
ought now to restrict these callers to
certain hours and to set about the task
81 preparation for fulfilling the prom
ises 81 the Democratic platform.
There ID no reason why the whole Of
the first few months Of the Administra-
tons time should be devoted to the
selection Of subordinate officers. That
task is essential, but not so essential
as the framing Of methods for carrying
out policy.
The Democratic. platform promised
certain reforms in the currency Of the
country and a revision Of orr tax laws
to the end that the burdens Of the tariff
on the necessaries IF life might be
lightened
II effective work ii be accomplish
ed in this direction the Treasury De-
partment oughtto be at work formu-
lating its policies. It will not do to say
that the Senate is organized for free
coinage. Something can be accom-
plished and the silver question can be
driven out Of political and financial
discussion if il is made part of the
larger and more important currency
question.
There is no doubt that large sections
Of the country are in need Of more
abundant currency and their ills ought
TO be righted There is also no doubt
that no civilized country in the world
has such a HETEROGENEOUS mass Of money
and money-tokens as is issued BY the
United States, some Of the paper be-
ing payable in gold, somein silver and
some in any kind 81 coin.
The plan for remedying currency
evils Is not more important than the
plan for reducing tariff taxes without
unduly decreasing revenue. While
the tariff reformers seem To be at sea
the manufacturers are busy They
are doing their utmost to con.
vince the country that it would Be a
crime to increase revenues by reduc.
ing the tariff The woollen manufac-
turers who are anxious that the coun-
try shall carry them through few
more ears Of liquidation, are insisting
that they cannot stand a reduction nc
matter what may be done with wool
The time has come when these mat
tiers may be thoroughly discussed, but
discussion cannot beginuntil the Secre
y tary Of the Treasury hasa plan.
