The New York Tribune tells this little
story illustrating the currency strin-
goncy in New York city: "A man en-
tered pawnbroker's shop in the Bowery,
and laying down a twenty-dollar bill
asked if he could be accommodated with
a dollar on it. The broker was an ex-
cellent judge Of money, and saw at once
that the bill was genuine. So he turned
and said to the stranger, showing the bill
toward him as he spoke, that he was in
no mood for nonsense. But the stranger,
showing the bill back, rejoined in earnest
tones that he meant business; that he
couldn't get any conductor on horse car
TO change the bill that he had already
been put of three ears that his boots
were awful tight, and that unless he
could get dollar on the bill he would be
compelled to walk TO the battery. Well,
the pawnbroker couldn't but feel that the
stranger meant what he said. So he
took up the twenty-dollar bill, toyed with
1t a few moments, and then said to him:
Well, my friend, I'd like to accommo-
date you, but owing to the financial strin-
gency can only give you IS cents.'"

sense dictator; nor is it his function to
draw the bills to meet the legislation he
recommends. He gives cogent reasons for
recommending the repeal Iof the silver

to expect of their representatives a good
deal of thinking and some prompt work

WASHINGTON. May 2.-An evening paper
has this: Abundant reason for the aban-
donmsnt of tho policy Of reciprocity under
the Mckinley bill exists in the complaints
received BY this state department regardin q
evasions OF the treaty by Spanish officials
in Cuba. The Spanish government was
forced into the treaty by the diplomacy OF
Blaine, because Of fear that II Cuban
sugar growers were deprived of their mar
ket in the United States through reciproc-
ity arrangements with other sugar growing
countries they would raise up in revolt
against Spain. The government intends ia
make the treaty go unpopular that it will
fall to the ground of its own weight. and
has imposed an excise tax nearly equal to
| the duties rsmitted by the Mckinley bill
Our government will either protest strongly
against the tax or wipe out the whole treaty
and loave Cuban growers TO face a possible
import duty under our new tariff. The
Spanish government has also shown an in
clination to mako trouble by action re-.

duties were reduced by tho treaty.
