All sorts of currency schemes are
being aired before Congress and the
country. Nothing would furnish
more relief than a popular loan;
that Is, the issuance OF bonds in
ANAL sums aud at low rate of in
terest. Such bonds would be taken
up by the masses-they would circu.
late among the people. They would
take the place of the thousands
even millions-of dollars of eurren-
cy, and gold and silver now hoard
ed up by a frightened people, and
thus taken out of circulation. Issue
bonds as low as s25 or $50 at rate
of interest not exceeding , or 2 II
per cent. and they would circulate
as currency when money was scarce,
and be held as an investment when
money was plenty. The people, in
stead of Wall street, would become
the creditors of the government =

LoxDoS, Jan. s.-The Times Tuesday
in a leading article on the Port Arthur
massacre says:
mot only on the day of battle and in
the heat of victory, but for four days
after did the japanese soldiery give
themselves over, apparently without
check from their commanders, to indis-
criminate massacre, carried out with
every revolving circumstance of primal
barbarity. Troops of prisoners tied to-
gether were riddled with bullets and
then hacked to pieces. Boats crowded
with fugitiyes of both sexes and all
ages received volley after volley. The
streets were encountered with corpses
showing every CHASTITY form of mutila-
ton which oriental cruelty has in
vented.

This appeal TO fundamental instincts
proved too much for laboriously ac-
Quired habits. The woman disappeared

The Pail Mall Gazette in the after
noon. referring TO the massacre at Port
Arthur, says: '"Fhe responsibility for
the horror rests not with the Japanese
peasant, whom everybody knows is q
lacquered barbarian, but with Marshal
Oyama and his officers whose civiliza-

Whether they permitted the outrages or
not or were unable to check them, they
are unworthy to command the armies of

The mills aud factories of this
country can produce double what
we consume and the only hope OF
providing constant employment for
labor is to reach the markets of the

viii find that just as soon as our
manufactured products find a mark
ct abroad their condition will i'm
prove. American skill and inven-

only secure this by being more lib

The Chicago Tribune protesting
against any more MeKinleyism,
says the tariff contained duties
which were SO high that they bred
trusts and monopolies. That is
Democratic doctrine. Further it
asserts that "McKinloyism is i'm
moderate protection, and leading to
lack ofrevenue.s Precisely. We
all see that now. Only John Dali
zen will have it that the Wilson
tariff is the cause of our lack of
revenue, while it has been in opera
ton only four months. Four years
of McKinleyism cut off the revenues
from sugaralone $3.50, 100000. Get
ting down to the roots of the quest

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-The estate of
jay Gould has been appraised in its per-
sonal property for the purpose of taxa
tion in the surrogate's court. APP
praiser David Mcclure has prepared a
report in which he finds the estate is
worth exactly $50, 994, 1907 aside from
its 1000, 900 i'll realty.
This value is given as of the date of
the death of the testator The APP
praiser finds, however, that it should be
taxed for about Sc, 600, 600 less than this
amount, as he decides that the estate of
George J. Gould owns that much of
Jay Godld's estate, because of the serV-
ice of young George for 10 years to
