New Currency Plan,

In another place appears an interest

'riginal plan Of currency reform. DR..

,anks of issue-privileges which many
,eople believe should not depart from

ssued by the government In exchange
or approved city, county and state,
misunderstanding bonds, deposited
n the treasury as security. He would
lave the government exchange 800 in
reasury notes for $100 in these ap-
proved bonds; would make provision
or the cancellation Of the bonds by
means of annual repayments into the
rational treasury; and would protect
he treasury by giving 1t, in case OF
lefaulted repayment, first claim on
municipal, county or state tax collec-
ions. A small tax on the circulation
would reimburse the government for
is expense in the premises as we'll as
ecure II against loss.
These are the crudely stated general
principles Of his suggestion. Many de-

POLITICAL POINTS.

EX-Congressman Brunner has an
nounced his intention to become candi-
date before the next congressional con-
vention to represent the Ninth district.
According to the compact the next con-
gressman will come from Berks. Ac-
cordng to the agreement Berks Is to have
three terms and Lehigh two terms alter
nately.
Representative Lawrence's proposition
that the Legislature shall do its neces-
sary work in three months session and
then quit does not altogether please some
folks" says the Philadelphia Press, which
thoughtlessly adds: 1T would be an
agreeable thing to the people at large,
however, and that is the influence to take
into account. The people at large want
their legislative servants to attend 10
business, and not tumble a long session s
important work by frantic effort to reach
an early adjournment.

Each talks in turn until they adjourn;
They are workers stern and true"

These United States Senators do?"
"Oh, their speeches are sound and very

In the old immemoral way"

Demagogism's Signal Defeat.

From the Washington Post.
1t has been thought fine philosophy
that prosperity shall be treated as a crime
and that virtue is to be found only among
the idle and the improvident; that legis-
lation shall be aimed at money, and gov
ernment employed to dlspossess the
thrifty and the frugal. We have heard
the foolish and dangerous proposition
that this or that law should not be enact
ed because it might in its operation bene-
fit some great and useful business enter
prise, and have listened to denunciations
of parties because under their auspices
material development has been stimulated
and fortunes made in honorable callings.
The very generation seems TO have been
affected by some poison of insanity But
the vote on the railroad pooling bill shows
that congress has not yet been captured
by the demagogues.
