EX-GOVERNOR BoIEs, of Iowa, has written as follows on the money question: "The issue of thefuture is already clearly presented. It is no longer 9 question of whether or not we shall have free coinage at 1G to 1, but it is the broader question of whether or not the nation is to be tied to a gold standard and receive it's paper currency through the in tality and at the will of private corporations, or have for it's use a national currency based upon gold and silver alike and controlled by the government instead of by syndicates and combinations. We must prepare for the broader issue. The time to begin is now, and the way to begin is to organize.

THE workings of trusts have been very strikingly illustrated recently. Sometime ago nail trust was or ganized which advaGeed the price of nails $1 per keg. After all the Fall orders had been filled the trust went to pieces and tho price of nails went dowa s1 keg. Of course the hard ware men who purchased their sup ply in the summer and fall will lose $l on every keg of nails in stock, This is usually the result where prices are fixed arbitrarily, and gov erned by the capricious whims of the manufacturers. What we need is very stringent National anti trust law in this country.

 TIE London 7elegdphis is proposing to raise a Christmas testimonial by subscription as a farewell gift of respect and good will" to Ambassa- dor Bayard, of the United States. This has placed the Ambassador in very embarrassing position and is something unprecedented in inter national diplomacy. The London Chronicle admits the Telegroph's $ kindly motives and Mir. Bayards S claim to regard, but it condems the suggestion as improper and op- posed to diplomatic etiquette. add ing that "the mere idea is enough to bring the cold presperation to the brow of the most deserving diplo- mat, and suggesting that the Am bassador be given banquet in the
 familiar Anglo-Saxon way. In view of the general criticism of the scheme by the American and English press, it is said that Ambassador Bayard will declne the testimonial if presented.
