presses the UNIONS sentiments.
But suppose the Eckels view is right-what
does it argue? 1t argues that it is time fol-
American statesmen to endeavor to formulate
and perfect and adopt an American system OF
finance. We have long enough stood cooling
our heels in the ante-rooms of the European
tinanciers and governments who alternately
treat our representatives with patronizine
tolerance or administer to them humiliatine
snubs. With our tremendous power of pro-
duction Of foods, fabrics, iron. coal, precious
metals and manufactured products, and ou1
growing command of the markets of the world
we might dictate terms to Europe instead OF
humbly waiting, hat in hand, to have Europe
mark out a financial policy for US.

the Duluth Herald to wrath. The

JERRY SIMPSON, of Kansas, who

who nevertheless processes to- be a
Populist high priest of~the very high
est possible order of highness, is con-
spicious for his absence at the present
session of congress, and this imposes
upon Congressman Bailey, of Texas,
the very difficult and burdensome
function of being the only genuine, un-

OF the house. The reason the honor
able Jerry thus shirks his duty; and
Bailey works over time is that the Pop
ulists OF Kansas are so busy paying off
their mortgages and looking .zfor a
place to invest their surplus cashtthat
they haven't got either the time oil the
inclination to return to the said Jerry
to congress. It is contrary to Populist
precept for a man to go chasing around
alCer an once IN this undlgnlhed and
unpatriotic manner, but the office
doesn't seem to be in little bit of a

ARGUMENT UNANSWERABLE.


The report of Postmaster General
Gary, embodying as it does, the re-
ports and recommendations of the
assistant postmaster general, is an ex-
ceptionally important document A
large part of the volume is devoted to
an argument, to our mind unanswera-
BILE, in favor of the prompt institution
by this country of a postal savings
bank system. The array of facts and
figures marshaled to show the timeli-
ness and importance of this step ought
to make a deep impression upon the
congressional mind. The enormous
growth of the postal money order bust
ness is adduced as showing how the
people already patronize the postal
service for the transmission of funds.
That they would avail themselves of it
to deposit their savings is beyond ques-
ton. Within a few years the deposits
would be counted by hundreds of mil
lions. The time is certainly suspicious
for the adoption of this policy of saw
lngs banks. Further than that, how
ever, it ought to be possible to comb ine
that policy with some plan for the i'm
provement of the currency SYSTEM
