Tacoma, April IA Port Townsend
special to the Ledger says:
Instructions came from the treasury
department this afternoon oriering the
commanders of the revenue cutters Of
the Bering sea patrol feet not TO take
aboard any spurious liquors. The feet
was ready to sail when the ord ars were
issued and mess officers were compelled
to land their private liquor supply.
The captains themselves, while in the
North. must live like prohibitionists, as
they will not be allowed to have on
board the mildest OF intoxicating bever-
ages The order issued caused wave
OF disappruval throughout the fleet, but
none OF the officers expressed their desire
of resigning rather than obey the de-
partment's instructions. The belief is ex-
pressed here that the order emanated
from the scandal and general charges Of
drunkenness unearthed in the Haley
case at San Francisco last autumn. when
one-thlrd Of the officers on duty in Be
ring sea were accused Of intemperance.

AMERICAN MEAT IN GERMANY.

Berlin, April H.-The United States
consuls in Germany have published in
the local papers in their respective con-
sular districts the regulations governing
the export OF American meats from the
United States, with view OF dispelling
the German prejudice against the Ameri-
can product. The Strasburg Post. In
connecting on these regulations. says:
The provisions of the American law are
clear and sufficient; nevertheless official
examinations Of American meats made
here prove that the meats imported are
bad, and that the law, therefore. can
not be stringently enforced"
The Berlin Neueste Nachrichten pro-
fesses to know upon good authority that
practices exist in the American meat
packing business that would 80 disgust
foreign consumers, did they know OF
them. as TO forever deter them from
touching American packed meats In
view of these and other expressions In
spired by commercial jealousy American
meat does grow in favor In Germany.

RIVER AND HARpoR BILL

Washington, April 1.-THE senate COM
mittee finally concluded its consideration
Of the river and harb0r bill at o'clock
today. Almost the entire day was spent
in an effort to agree upon compromise
upon the conflicting claims OF San Pedro
and Santa Monica TO the proposed deep
water harbor for Southern California
but without success. The friends Of
San Pedro used the utmost endeavors
to secure a concession that would leave
the matter In the hands OF a commission,
but the majority in favor Of Santa Nom
lea manifested no disposition 70 permit
the change. Consequently no vote was
taken upon the proposition and the bill
finally passed upon by the committees
carries the figures agreed upon last FRI
day. These put the outer harbor at Sam
IA Monica under the continuing contract
system at an ultimate cost OF s2.ss5, 900.
and give San Pedro and Wilmington
practically the same place. $4,000. OF
which $4,000 goes TO San Pedro. The
remainder goes to Wilmington

this policy has brought Us to. And It
is here that our correspondent will
find the chief benefit which comes
from unlimited coinage. IL places the
metal equal with that which Is re-.
Rsrded as the best. Gold now has no
limitation put upon its coinage. Gold
coin Is, therefore, treated as the "best
money in the world" Silver coinage
Is limited and therefore is discredited
in the "msrkets Of the world" We
use silver mostly in the form of Ger.
tifCstes that would not satisfy a judg.
ment In court.
We say to our questiOner that the
benefit of free and unlimited coinage
Of silver over coinage limited to the
American product, consists In the fact
that unlimited coinage will make silver
coin equal to the best money, while
any limitation, no matter to what ex-
tent, dwsrfs this kind of money, and
leaves it on plane below the basic or
standard coin. Limitation to the
American product will leave gold su.
preme, just as 1t Is now, and we all
know what that means.

by direct taxation from the people. It
is hOsrded In the treasury, and for no
good purpose. It benefits no one but
the banks which are fortunate enough
to secure, through pretense Of au-
thority Of law, the deposit Of large pOr-
tions of it. This money is taken from
the channels of trade and from the
earnings of labor and of the property
of the State, and lies idle. 1t has been
said that enough money has been col
lected In taxes in the last twenty years
by the State to have paid the entire real
estate mortgage indebtedness Of the
people. The money on hand 10 vastly
in excess Of the needs of the State gov
ernment. It should be reduced. The
easiest way to accomplish this result is
to reduce the levy and pay the def
cheney out Of money now boarded.
The people Of the State have enough to
contend with without being burdened
by an unnecessary and excessive rate
Of taxation.

TO COMPROMISE IS TO SURRENDER.

There Is only one manly and honest
way to meet the silver question, and
that 10 to draw the line between gold
m0nometallism and bimetalllsm and
fight 1t out on that line. We must
have the full use of both metals for
monetary purposes, OK we must de.
monetlze both of them. Our expert
ence with the single gold basis has
been disastrous, and conditions are
growing worse for the great body Of
the people. The spectators, the
bankers, and the moneyed classes gen.
orally, are mRrshslllng under the name
Of "sOund money" and are demanding
permanent gold policy. They have
attacked bimetallists on tho silver line,
