"A gold standard has the advantage OF
making prices sleader, for, as campared
with silver gold is more staple in value,
and il the standard OF value is steady,
prices ~ measured by the standard must
also be steady. Rising prices make mark
cts active for time, but will soon affect
the material and wages, iujnre the pro-
duclive power Of the country, and tend TO
decrease exports: while suddenly falling
prices cause losses to the commercial and
economic world Then 1t is best that
prices do not tiuctuate violently, but il is
impossible to avoid such fluctuations with
silver standard, and the only remedy is
to be found in Il god standard. Secondly,
gold standard will tend to increase eX-
ports, for, while 1t makes commercial
transactions with foreign countries adopt

II enables the country to avoid violent
fluctuations OF prices and tends To de

No tariff law which has gone upon the
statute books within tho memory of the
present generation has been as cordially
approved and endorsed even by members
OF the party opposed to it as is the case
with this one. The growth OF the pro-
tectiye-tariff sentiment in all parts OF the
country, coupled with the fact that the
new law destroys the advantages given TO
the trusts under the Wilson law, make it
an especially popular measure, while the
advantages which it gives TO the farmers,
as well as the manufacturers, adds TO its
general acceptability.

Special Correspondence.
Now that we are about to bid adien to
the Wilson law, it may not be uninteTest-
ing to point out some Of its failures, since
il is impossible to say anything good in
taking leave OF measure which has
brought such distress to the country and
the Treasury. The deficit OF 1925. 600, 900
which it has made up to the time Of Nc
Kinley's Inauguration has been somewhat
reduced by the enormous imporlations OF
the past three months which were made
in order TO escape duties under the new
tariff law. Notwithstanding the increase
in receipts by reason OF this Hood OF i'm
portalions since the Inauguration OF
President Mckinley, Il e customs, internal
revenue, and total receipts under this law
have been much less than in the cores
ponding months Of the history OF the Nc
Kinley law. This is especially interesting
and important because OF the stateme mis-
made from time to time by the Democrats
to the effect that the Wilson law was
more successful as revenue producer
than the Mckinley law. The absolute
falsity Of this statement is Shown by the
official figures covering the receipts Of the
Wilson law from the beginning OF its
operations down TO the present time and
comparing those with the receipts under
the Mckinley law in the corresponding
months of its existence. The Wilson law
has now been 10 operation "a months. In
those "a months the customs receipts
aggregated $4G7, 400, 2iS, while in the
fist "a months of the Mckinley law the
customs receipts were 1913, 452, Ala. The
internal revenue receipts under the Wilson
law in its first "a months were $685., 722, =
453, and in the first "a months OF the Nc
Kiuley law were 1913, 772, 45S. The total
receipts under the Wilson law in its first
81 months, ending June 80, 1897, amount
to 1904, 200, 652, while the Mckinley law
in the first "a months produced Sl,04l,

PROGRESS OF THR TARIFF.

HOSTILE TO TRUSTS.

The work upon the tariff bill in confer
ence has heen as unsatisfactory TO the
trusts as was that OF the House and Sen
ate. Every step in the framing of this
bill has shown determination on the part
Of those in charge OF it to avoid the mis-
takes which the Democrats made in the
framing of their tariff bill and by which
that party gave to the trusts, and especially
the sugar trust, such enormous advantages.
OF course the Democrats have tried to
make it appear that the Republicans were
laying themselves liable to as grave
charges as were successfully made against
their own party and tariff bill, but have
failed in that attempt, and there is good
reason to assert that the new bill, when 1t
gets upon the statute books, will be less
satisfactory to the trusts than any meas
ure enacted in many years.

THE CURRENCY COMMISSION.

1t is still understood that a message will
be sent to Congress, as soon the tariff bill
is out OF the way, asking that the Presi-
dent be given authority TO appoint a com
mission TO consider the currency question
and frame a measure for general cur
rency law. The delay in sending In this
message has been due to the fear that this
action might precipitate a currency dis
cussion and thus delay action upon the
tariff bill, but there is reason to believe
that tho message will he forthcoming as
soon as the tariff bill is disposed Of
Whether il will be possible to pass meas
ure OF this character through the Senate
without very great delay rs Of course un
certain, but II Republican votes can pass
it, it will become law promptly. 1t is
felt TINT commission selected from the
best students OF finance in the country
will be able to frame much moro salts

probably be prepared by any general com
miltee OF Congress, which could moi OF
course be made up OF men who have made
lifelong study OF this complex and dinl-
