IS GAGE QUALIFIED?

A person engaged in trade and COM
retary of the treasury. Such is the law
and congress at its next session ought
to extend that law so as to disqualify
for that Office any person connected in
any way with national banks. The
glaring improperly of national bank
officer or stockholder occupying that
position is we'll illustrated by the pres
ent incumbent. Mr.. Gage is all wrapped
up in that interest. He has, nearly all
his life, been engaged in the banking
business and at the time of his nomi-
nation to the treasury department was
president of the leading national bank
of Chicago He has even been president
Of the American Bankers association.

and promotion Of the national bank sys-
TEN. His energy is directed toward
augmenting that power when, in fact, 1t
has grown to be much too powerful
factor in the government already. Mr..
Cages own nomination to the secre-
taryship of the treasury is most con-
vincing proof of this fact
If there is reason why one engaged in
commerce should not hold the place of
secretary Of the treasury the reasons
are thousand times stronger why a
national bank man should be disquali-
fed for it, and congress should take
Cognizance of this fact without delay.

THE TRUST-MADE TARIFF

The failure of the Dingley tariff bill to
produce sufficient revenue for the leSiti-
mate requirements of the government is
about the only phase of the subject that
provokes general attention at this time.
Its author and sponsors generally as
sumo a confidence, whether they possess
It or not, that in time 1t will accomplish
that object and produce a surplus for
the gradual extinction of the public debt.
This, however. belongs exclusively to the
mans guess comes pretty near being
as good as his neighbor's. But there is
another phase of the question that ap-
peals more directly and vitally to the
concern Of the individual citizen, and
that is the influence Of this new tariff
law upon the prices Of the necessaries of
life, and by that we do not mean simply
bread and meat and homespun gar
mentS.
AS the new law has not been in force a
sufficient length of time to meet the eX
pectations of it's friends as a revenue
producer, so has its full influence upon
the prices of commodities to consumers
not yet been fully felt. But the effects
are manfesting themselves in many di
rections, and there is scarcely house
hold in the land that has not already felt
them to greater or less extent. The
advance in prices, however, has only

chants throughout the country are still
selling goods purchased before the new
law went into effect. But wholesalers
declare that the future advance will be
something very serious.
In the matter of woolen goods alone it
is estimated that the advance in the
prices of all classes will approximate 40
to so per cent Laces and embroideries
have gone up about per cent, and gloves
is. Wooden socks that sold for 50 cents
now command So to co. The commoner
grades of crockery and china have also
experienced an advance. Underwear has
gone up fully 20 per cent. Garments that
sold last spring for IS are today quoted at
IS. All flannel goods have advanced 20 per
cent. The finer grades of linen have
advanced 10 per cent and the coarser
grades 25. Gloves that sold for 81. so
now command $1.75. The new tariff
does not affect the finer grades of silk
but all the lower grades of Japanese silk
have materially advanced. Foreign
gloves cost six cents more per pair, and
foreign hosiery . cents. Fine wooden
dress goods have advanced from 81 to
$1.35 and $3.50 Velvets have gone from

THE BOLD YOUNG HIGHWAYMAN

Did you ever meet a robber with pistol
and knife.
Whose prompt and cordial greeting was,
Your money or your life;''
Who, while you stood a-trembling, with
your hands above your head,
Took your gold, most grimly offering to re-
pay you in cold lead?
Well. I once met robber; I was going
home TO tea;
The way was rather lonely, though not
too dark to see
That the sturdy rogue who stopped me
there was very fully armed
But I'm honest in maintaining that didn' t
feel alarmed.
He was painting hard from running, so I,
being still undaunted,
Very boldly faced the rascal and demanded
what he wanted;
I was quite az big as he was, and I was
not out OF breath;
So didn't fear his shooting me or stab
bing me to death.
In answer to my questions the highway
man raised an arm
And pointed 1t straight at me, though l
still felt no alarm;
He did not ask for money, but what he
said was this:
You cannot pass, papa, unless you give
your boy a kiss"

COST OF THE GOLD STANDARD

Now that the administration has COM

be in order to ascertain how much that
gold standard will cost the people If
such a law is enacted. History affords
the data. The Cleveland administration
was conducted on a gold standard, and
during that period s2G2 615, 400 of bonds
were issued and sold for the sole purpose
of maintaining the gold standard.
Under the plan Of Secretary Gage he
asks permission to Issue $1,000 900 more
of gold bonds for the same purpose But
this Is not all. Secretary Gage also asks
permission to refund the old bonds and
to REISSUE them, to extend the time OF
payment ten years, and to make them

merchant, was nominated by President
Grant for that position, but his name
was speedily withdrawn because he was
an importer of merchandise, and ques-
tions relating to such importations were
liable to come before him for settlement
But questions relating to national banks
come before the secretary every day,
and Mr.. Gage. national bank man all
over. has to decide them.
There Is now sitting in Washington
a currency commission, so-called (the
pet and nesting of Mr.. Gage) to devise
and recommend a revision Of the cur
iency. the sole aim of which is, when
stripped of all DISCUSSES, to enlarge the
powers and promote the interests of the
national banks. This commission sits
at the elbow of Mr.. Gage and will carry
out his views to the letter. 1t is highly
presumable, In fact, that its members
were appointed at his dictation. The
aim Of the movement is to get rid en-
trely of the greenbacks and to replace
them with national bank circulation.
Greenbacks, like silver, have too much
the character of the peoples money to
be popular with such men as Lyman
Gage; hence they must be got out of the
way. Gold and bank notes will be easier
to manipulate in Wall street, with both
silver and greenbacks retired from cir
culation.
This Is another currency contracting
scheme and is intended to give the
money power a firmer hold upon the
throat Of industry. Mr.. Gage was pro-
NOTED to the post Of chief financier Of
this great nation because Of his peculiar
partial and purblind notions about
money. The improperly OF making
such a man secretary of the United
States treasury cannot be expressed in
words. But Mr.. Mckinley could not
help himself. The same power that made
him made Gage. The great question
before the people now Is: How long can
we stand this sort Of thing?

Reflections of a Bachelor

The average parents are great inn
provement on their children.
No girl over 81 can possibly be as old
and as innocent as she thinks she looks.
Probably whenever Robinson Crusoe
looked at his parrot he thought OF his
wife.
AS soon as moth tastes a sex-prob-
lem story she begins to turn up her nose
at camphor balls.
Every man when he prays for thing
has a sneaking inclination to tell the
Lord that he would do as much for him.
Most women that have husbands go
through life with the idea that bach

American Crews on the Torpedo Boats

One notable and commendable feature
about the torpedo fleet now in this har-
Dor Is the fact that the crews are made
up Of Americans. There Is scarcely q
foreign countenance to be seen, and
good, expressive United States" Is the
language of the fleet. The men are big,
strong, healthy young fellows. with
ruddy cheeks and clear eyes. They are
the kind Of men that good judge would
pick to do dangerous work in defense OF
their country, and there is doubt that
these men-the "men behind the guns"
upon whom depends the honor and ef-
fectiveness of the craft-would be found
equal to the occasion should an emer-
gency arise. 1t Is to be hoped that 1t
will not be long before Assistant Sec
retary Roosevelt will have the crews Of
the greater ships Of the navy "Ameri-
canized" up to the standard of the tor

Mental Pabulum for Women

To the Editor of the Los Angeles
Herald: wish to thank you for the ar
ticle that appeared in your paper a day
or two since, under the caption of "In
Woman's Sphere" For years, like every
other sensible woman, l have been dis
gusted with the kind Of mental pabulum
that is constantly being served up to
the Intelligent women Of the country by
a class Of writers who seem to have never
experienced an earnest thought In their
lives on any of the vital subjects that
are enllsting the attention Of the earnest
women of the day.
AS Mrs. Chaplin truly says, the bulk OF
the intellectual development of the day
is largely among the women Of leisure,
and it needs only some one to
awaken those who are not in
terested in such matters to realiza-
ton of the fact that there is a world out
side of the fashionable foibles and con-
ventionaMties Of society. Mrs. Chapins
