The tax on bank circulation forbids
them even to help themselves by de-
vices of an extra-legal kind, CORE
spending identically to the methods
which have been adopted by the great
banks of New York and Boston more
than once, In order to prevent COM

issue Of clearing house certificates.
Banks and brokers in the South and
west tided over the worst period of the
panic OF 1898 by issuing certificates OF
deposit, reciprocal checks and other in
struments of exchange. which served
their purpose. They, doubtless, had g.
legal right to issue certificates of de-
post and other instruments of ex-
change free of tax. That question has
not been adjudicated, and SO long as
the peril of the tax is held over them
they are unable to meet the exigency
and their trade suffers or is reduced
to barter in consequence of these con-
ditions.
Coupled with this readjustment OF
the banking system, which is the next
imperative call, when the present unit

existing, universal
ly felt want of prosperity" I beg to
say, 1t is quite difficult, if not impossi-
Die, to give categorical answer there
to.
The president, though elected by a
party, is nevertheless the president of
the whole country, and must be regard
ed as having the interest of the whole
country at heart. His oath of office is
plain and simple, in fact unique. Form
ing, by virtue of his authority to veto
bills, portion Of the legislative power
of the country, about one-fifth posi-
oily, his chief business is to execute, not
make. laws, as the constitution vests
the executive power in him. He gives
congress from time to time information
as to the state of the country, and rec
ommends legislation he deems to be fit
or necessary. The proposed policy of
the platform upon which he is chosen
would indicate what he would recon-
mend and approve, and it is not worth
while here to suggest anything upon
this point
So that his first step is his Inaugural
ton. He is to be inaugurated first
and here I suppose is the commence
ment of his administration l would
suggest then as my decided opinion he
should take this first step in q plain and
simple manner, and with as little pa
rade and show as possible. Leave out
all that pomp and display that become
imperial governments, and not repub-
lican. 1t is a display expensive, and
calculated to divert the chief execu-
tive from the exacting duties he is as
Stunning, and to impress the country
with the idea that we are about to
enter upon 8 four years frolic, picnic,
or a holiday excursion, instead of seri-
Gus, sober, hard work, to comfort and
make contented great people oppress-
ed and debt-ridden to sadness and sor-
row. He should thus begin, and give
assurance to the country that the adj
ministration will be working one,
that the business of the people will
receive at its hands prompt and earn
est attention, and thus bring the gov
el15 nent in it's practical operations in
clcsse contact with the people whose
government it Is. or should be. He
need not be afraid to initiate in this
regard Mr.. Jefferson. when he rode
alone on horseback to the capitol tied
his horse to the fence, entered, and
was duly sworn; then rode to the exec
utive mansion, and took possession, and
went to hard work.
This unoStentatious sort Of an inau-
guration, 1 belive, would do more to
inspire our people with some hope of
the future than anything else our new
president could venture on In the out
set. It would certainly be that good
beginning which so often insures a
good ending. "A. H. Garland.

For many years our Democratic

purpose Of enactihg a new tariff law
which will provide adequate revenues
for government expenditures and a sur
plus for gradual extinguishment of

principles Of protection to American

coupled with such reciprocity provisions
as will give us all foreign markets for

The enactment of such a law will

restore that blessed condition of en-
ployment and prosperity which this
country enjoyed in the fullest measure
under the Mckinley act.
With a new tariff law in operation,
such as 1 have described, the agitation
for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver will be at an end. With renewed
opportunity to earn money and the
gradual increased circulation Of it
through wage payments, our people will
come to understand that our distress
is not due to the contraction Of our
circulating medium, but to the stagna-
ton of enterprise, manufacture, invest
