will certainly inaugurate a much bet
ter system for the lower classes. file
will try to take the money que tion
and tariff out ofpolitics, which 81 ould
have been done long since. The law
governing finances can safely be- left
with the national banks, insurance
and railroad corporations who,
through IA standing committee with
some well-known and honorable fin
a%nciers such as Mr.. J. p. Morga an or
Mr. August Belmont as chair man,
who could formulate and have pas
sed directly such laws on money as
would be safe and useful for the
whole people. All laws COVE rning
the tariff could be handled in the
same way by a committee appointed
by the great manufacturing and in
dustrlaf enterprises, and with such
honorable and charitable men as Mr..
Rockefeller or Mr.. Carnegie, as chair
man of such committee, the most
wise and useful tariff laws could be
speedily but in force, not both ering
those engaged in agricultural or 9TH
cr rural work, or exciting them by
frequent elections as is now the case.
We have talked with Mr.. Hanna
as to many things which are now
wronging the lower classes and di-
v%erting them from their labor. He
thinks there are too many holidays
and especially excursions to some
what long distances, where these
people meet and. exchange ex citing
converse upon subjects such as we
have referred to, and which they are
incapable of understanding; besides
this they should be at work; they
spend too much money, often going
to a hotel and laying out an entire
days income on II dinner. Gentle
men like Mr.. Astor and Mr.. Rookie
Teller, who by application and econ
omy have amassed a competence,
never would think of spending 3
days income on one meal. How car
workingmen expect to indulge il
luxuries, idle saway their time ano
; prosper? We believe for their owl
good, if some beneficent law could be
, passed which would limit excursion.
