the credit Of the United states both at
home and abroad"
SO IL ia the gold wedge Secretary Gage
is trying to drive home. We may we'll
wonder If President Mckinley agrees
with his secretary of the treasury OH this
matter. The western Republican mem
bers of congress are much alarmed over
this bold gold move and utterances, say
ing il Gage represents the administra-
ton there won't be much left Of the
Republican party in the west. Senator
Clark, of Wyoming says: "If all recog-
milton Of silver Is abandoned and the
single gold standard thrust upon us for
ever, would hardly dare go back to my
own people"
Mr.. Cages plot seems to be to bestow
additional favors on the national banks,
without relieving the government, for he
proposes leaving sl46,00O,000 Of green
backs in circulation, thus enabling the
banks to ply the old game when ever
they should want gold. The Chicago
Tribune, Republican, discourslng on this
point, says:
These bank notes are wholly superflu

INJURY TO THE RAILROADS.

Long Distance Telephones Cutting Down
Passenger Busin,s, says Cnliaway.
CLEVELAND. Dec. 29.-President 8.
R. Galloway of the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern railway said:
For some time railroad men have
been trying to find the reason why, in
spite Of the fact that business is in.
creasing, especially in the transporta-
ton of freight. the passenger business
is languishing. After figuring on the
matter for some time we have come to
the conclusion that the long distance
telephone is responsible. Business men
are using it more and more and the
way it is cutting into our passenger
business is very serious matter TO us. "

BANK REFORM NsEDED.

The people of this country do not
favor bank enslavement. Secretary
Gage, a Chicago banker, has prepared a
bill for congress and appeared before
the house committee in charge and ex-
planned and urged the measure.
The scheme is to give banks full control
to issue the money Of the people and
thus place the people at their mercy, as
to business and values. What reason
is there for this? 1t is not for the pur-
pose of beneftting the people, but to
add to the power and emolument of the
banks.
The number of bank failures the past
year according to the report of the
comptroller Of the currency was l60, Of
which 38 were national banks, SO state
banks, 10 savings banks and AZ private
banks. This surely is not an inviting
picture. 1t does not show the safety
the American people are entitled to; but
such is the history Of banking in this
country.
Bank paper, circulating as money, is
only promise to pay, showing a debt,
but on which the banks draw interest,
contrary to ali rule of right, and which
other people don't enjoy, for they pay
interest on their promises to pay. Why
should all this be allowed in a free
country?
Besides, bank notes are not legal
tender in payment of debts, and can not
be made so. And these bank schemers
would discard silver as money and hand
us over to bank promises. They admit
the present bank system is failure, and
yet have the che&E to propose few
changes, giving additional privileges to
the banks, all at the expense of the peo-
ple The public is the goose to be
plucked, ever aud always. This system
they admit to be failure, is neverthe-
less to be continued at greater cost to
the public.
The Philadelphia people were startled
last week by the failure oftwo large bank
ing establishments, on national bank,
the liabilities Of both being about So ,000,-
900. These are ticklish times for banks,
and indeed for all monetary institutions,
The hard times at last reaches them, and
this effort of Banker Gage, President
McKinley's secretary Of the treasury, to
get congress to enact a law with a view
to help them, shows that Mr.. Gage
knows these institutions need help.
The people also need help-business
people, laboring people, farmers too,
and others. We need less usury, less
monopoly Of money as well as other.
wise. We must have restored to us free
coinage of silver as we'll as gold. This
is the first great step. We must take
the back track and get square upon the
constitution and quit following the lead
of the money lords of England and this
country.
Our banks have done much to bring
on this condition of things, and to en-
barrass themselves. Their own chicken
comes back to bother. They have been
foolishly paying interest on deposits
and have been thus compelled to exact
high interest. This should be changed
so that business men could get cheaper
money.
And yet our banks. with ell their ex-
perience, still favor gold standard.
They refuse to learn even in the costly
school of experience. May God in his
infinite wisdom take them in charge and
give them little sense.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.

THE HERALD lifts its hat, fguratively
speaking, for the eighth time to its sub,
scribers and advertisers and wishes one
and all Merry Christmas.
Bright, breezy, and at times bashfuI,
THE HERALD, like "the herald Mercury,
new.lighted on a .heayen-kissing hill, "
has been on top and to the fore in every
good work and deed. Not alone to the
patrons of TIE HERALD does its merry
greeting 60 out, but also to its valued eX'
changes, big and little, without regard to
party. May this season OF common joy
and good will warm the cookies of the
heart of the Oregonians great editor, who,
facile of pen and voluble of expletive,
has been lately lambasting Senators
Mitchell and Turner to a turn, taking an
occasional whack at Mayor Pennoyer and
other leading advocates Of bimetalIism.
Perhaps, as Col. Scott hangs his stock
ings ON the wall antswilh wondering gee
anticipates the unseiish largesse OF Santa
Claus, he may cease to doubt the sin
certify OF his opponents, who. apparently,
against their own personal interests, ad-
vocate policies of government which must
rebound, as they believe, to the happi.
ness and veal of all. He may even con.
clude that, as wisdom was not born with
him, it will not be buried in his tomb, and
may outlast the Oregonian--and the Pr.
as we'll, under its new and able manage
ment.
THE HERALD does not forget Yakima's
little tots, whose lines have fallen in pleas
ant places. Happy for them il they early
realize that their wise forbears have
chosen the choicest spot in all this world
to dwell, land overlooking with milk
and honey and where the luscious fruits
burst with their own luxuriance. To
wander from these fruitful wales is but to
return like a waveworn derelict, broken
in body and bereft OF riches.
And now may Santa Claus, the only
ghost before which childhood never pales,
shower his richest gifts upon the little
ones without stint or favor. In the noble
language OF Shakespeare:
They say, that ever gainst this season comes
Wherein our ssviours birth is celebrated
The bird OF dawning singing all night long;
And then they say no spirit dares stir abroad;
The nights are wholesome; then no planets
strike,
No fairy takes nor witch hath power to charm,
So hallOwed and so gracious is the time.
