A Hundred Years of Our Commerce.

1t is fitting that the victories of peace
should be remembered and celebrated,
as well as those of war times. One of
the great events of our American his
tory was the conclusion of CONNER.
cial treaty with England just one hun
dred years ago, through the satisfactory
mission of Chief Justice John Jay, who
was sent by Washington to London at
a time of severe strain between the
two countries. Although our inde-
pendence had been acknowledged 20
years before, the British had all along
refused to vacate number of military
posts which they held upon our soil
near the northern frontier, and had alb
solutely declined to send minister to
this country or to enter into definite
trade relations through the establish
ment of commercial treaty. The dis
dainful and unjust treatment of this
country by Great Britain had reached
a point which American susceptible
ties could scarcely endure. But for the
conservatism and good judgment of
President Washington, it is probable
that war would have been declared.
The one man in the United States best
qualified to conduct negotiations with
England was John Jay, of New York,
who had served for number of years
as Secretary of State and had subse-
quently been made Chief Justice.
From the foundation of our Govern.
ment down to that period of acute ex.
citement over the slavery question
which preceded the civil war, no other
one thing made so violent and bitter
a discussion among our people as the
ratification of the Jay treaty. Itwas,
however, ratified; and there was begun
period of progress which makes the
year 1898 memorable one in our com.
mercial annals. The Jay treaty was
very far from being perfectly satisfac-
tory, but England would do no better
by us. 1t.did not secure American

unsettled questions led eventually to
the war OF 1912. But it was in every
way fortunate for our young country
that the inevitable second war with
England was thus postponed, through
Mr. jays negotiations, for nearly
twenty years. Chauncey NJ. Depew is
the editor in chief of an important
volume. which records in series of
chapters prepared by different writers,
the story of one hundred years of COM
mercial progress, and which is designed
to commemorate the one hundredth
anniversary of the Jay treaty. The
event is also to be celebrated IN New
York by great banquet on the 10Th of

John Sherman, Master of Finance.

In telling the story Of his agency in
the financial legislation during and af.
ter the war, Mr. Sherman is quite mod.
est enough. Readers of these volumes
will be convinced, if not already so g,
that nearly all of what was best in that
legislation proceeded from him and
that, had his views prevailed in all
things, many faults actually commit,
ted would have been escaped.
More than Salmon p. Chase himself,
Sherman was the author of the green.
back and of the national bank.
Long before l became a member of
Congress l had carefully studied the
banking laws of the several States.
My study and experience convinced me
that the whole system of State banks,
however carefully guarded, was both
unconstitutional and inexpedient and
to be overthrow. When | entered
Congress was entirely prepared not
only to tax the circulation of State
banks, but 10 tax such banks out of ex
istence.
| drew the distinction between the or
dinary powersof banking and the issue
of bank bills. The business of bank
ing proper consisted in loaning money,
discounting bills, facilitating exchange
Of productio by the agency of com
mercial paper, and in receiving and
disbursing the deposits of individuals.
The issue of bank bills was an exclu
sive privilege conferred only on few
corporations. No person could issue
his bills in the form of paper money
without corporate franchise granted
him and his associates, either by gen
eral banking law or by an act of incor
poration. All the business of banking
might be exercised by private individ.
uals except this franchise. There was
no reason why any one individual or
partnership might not carry on all the
business incident to banking except
this one of issuing bills to circulate as
money.

icy of this country ought to be to make
everything national as far as possible, y
banks included. From John Sher-

A Significant Departure.

With the departure of another year
when a review is made of the condition
of affairs, it is only right that some
thougt be given to the physical body
which enables everyone to battle with

sheet. Though the bank account NAV
be large and each ones material gain
be great, it would not be surprising if
it suddenly dawned upon many that
good health has been greatly imperish-
ed by the low conditiod of the blood.
The most obstinate cases of catarrh
yield to the medicinal powers of Hoods
Sarsaparilla as if by magic, simply be-
cause it reaches the seat of the disease,

Hoods Sarsaparilla do this but it gives
renewed vigor to the whole system,

Little Tiny Toes.

CLYDE r. SHoWAhTER,
EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
Bitter sweet.

The Teller of last week gives anoth'
er exhibition of disreputable journal
ism IN its puerile attempt to misre.
present the editor of the HERALD and
place him in a false position on the
Sugar Beet question. That the editor
Of the HERALD advocated any under
handed schemes to establish Beet
Factory or expressed willingness Il
lead farmers into a questionable spec
ulation is maliciously false.
The HERALD has not asked farmers
to subscribe for stock and does not
believe the time has yet arrived when
they should do so. If it should de-
yelope that there is anything in the
proposition to establish beet factory
that is not honorable and fair, the
HERALD may be depended upon to ex-
pose it, But it is the duty of every
public spirited man to encourage the
establishment of enterprises and BUSH
nesses that will enhance the value
and increase the prosperity Of the
country The HERALD stands ready
to do that
The Beet business is an industry Of
great promise. If it can be estab-
lished here on satisfactory. paying
basis it viii result in almost
incalculable benefit to the county.
The possibilities of the business and
the attitude Of capital toward it
should be thoroughly circulated in
this vicinity. The HERALD has been
giving this information to its readers
and will continue to do SO during the
summer so that if the time comes that
farmers are asked to become partners
in the enterprise they viii be fully IL
formed
The HERALD's interest in this or
other public advancement viii not be
lessened or turned aside by little
job Of printing going to some other
office or being left off Of a committee
