VII CAN GIT on WITHOUT LEGIsLA-
TION.

A very intelligent citizen Of Richmond
was discussing the outlook Of things with
US recently. when ne said that he saw
no possibility Of the legislation the coun-
try needs, no matter which party wins
In the coming presidential election. We
asked him 10 specify what legislation is
needed. and. as he is not an advocate of
any. This Is very important point.
which should bee carefully borne in mind.
With the exception of an act TO repeal
the tax upon the issues of State banks
the country is IN need OF no legislation,
and it might be- very we'll if Congress
did not pass another act for ten years,
except such acts as are necessary 10
provide the salaries for the officers and
employees of the Government The legis-
lation now ON the statutc-books viii
provide revenue enough TO pay interest
upon the public debit to pay the army
any navy. 10 pay the judges and all
court expenses. and TO pay the salaries of
the foreign representatives., with a con-
siderable surplus over. If there was not
enough money for everything. the loss
would fan upon the public improvements
that are going on. and after that on the
pensioners. 1t would not ruin the ccun-
try 10 have work on the public improve
monts suspended for while. and If the
pensioners We're pinched the country would
reflect thai there are thousands upon
thousands of them drawing pensions who
have 10 sort of right 10 them, and the
public would not. therefore, despair Of
itself because these gentlemen failed TO
get full allowance.
or course what the country wants is
repeal OF The tax ON the issues Of state
banks. but the advocates Of that repeal
have no hope of getting il now. The
public mind must be educated much fur
Their than it has yet gone before we can
look for that repeal. though we are just
as sure that it Will come after a while
as We are OF the happening OF any other
necessary thing. We are not disturbed
therefore. 10y the thought that failure to
lcgislate would leave this matter un-
touched 1t has 20 remain untouched in
any event for some time TO come But
the Government can get along very well
without anything but the ordinary appTo-
priation bills. The laws i'm existence will
provide AN the needed revenue and the
act allowing the President 20 sell bonds
to keep the gold reserve intact will keep
us steadily upon a gold basis. and with

weary OF telling us about are cases where
n half-dozen or more rich men
combine all OF their ventures
into one. to save clerk hire. the
cost Of advertising. and senseless COM
petition. and then they do in one house
the business that they formerly did In
six or seven houses. and. at a saving Ike
Wanamaker's with his condensed adver-
tisements. Of many thousands Of dollars
each year The cases seem TO us to be ~
ac;ly similar. and we cannot understand
how person who applauds William
Wauamakcrs good sense IN consolidating
his advertisements can censure the bust
ness men who pool their businesses.
The most conclusive view Of this case
that has ever occurred TO our mind IS
the fact that the sort Of monoDolcs we
are talking about are the eyoluuons %
natural laws and forces. and 1t seems 10
be a contradiction IN terms TO speak Of
anything produced by nature that is to be
harmful to man.
II is true. however. that. II the be-
levers I'm Mr.. Darwin's theory are right,
nature. left to herself. has produced drag
ons. Fr.fns, crocodilcs. ailigators, rattle
snakes. and polecats. Is 1t best that
nature shall be left free TO produce these
monsters. or should man interfere and
divert the forces that would produce such
results into more benign channels?
II might be well for the anu-mono9o-
lists 10 take this view Of the matter
