WAR AND FINANCE.

THF constant risk of war that is imminent as
 long as the disturbance in Cuba continues, re-
 1 veals the need of doing something besides puiio- ing ships and making bowler and great guns. III these days money makes war. We fouild that out III our civil struggle. Trade is now revlving Ill HIS country and business are luled by sense oi se curity that makes them indifferent 10 our financial situation.
 There is large sum in the Federal treasury, and the redemption against the demand oDiga- tons outstanding against the Government IS higher than ever before But declarato ot :rar would inn mediatey start the present -on of those obligations and the run on the treasury would empty 1t in ten days
 These demand obligations tho-c left over, and unfunded from the Civil w r, and t..ose created by legislation more or less related thereto The Gov ernment is strongest that has the least volume o obligations due on demand In : IS sense our GoV- ernment is weak Its power to prepare tor war ana to maintain successfully martial enterprise IS fn paired by its financial condition. The Banking and Currency Committee of the House will, 1t is believed report bill during the present session that will be the beginning of reform in this particular. It will go further than that by supplying adequate banking ia- ciltes under proper official rceraint, to the West and South with the result of more nearly equazlng the loan fund and the rates of interest This will avoid the congestion of money in the financial cen ters and will give every business man the oppor tunity to cheaply and conveniently use his credit The present national banking system has been out grown by the country. It is no longer the merchant and manufacturer only who need to use short credit The cotton, sugar, rice and tobacco planter of the South and the farmer and stock-raiser Of the West should have banking facilities for the short credits they need in their business well. Under the pres cnt system the loan fund is brought within their reach by the mortgage and trust companies, and their credit is available only mortgage security. This beges the tendency to overborrow at high in- terest and long time.
 The "war scare" has been decried as damaging, but this is not so It has served to call the countrys attention to the pressing need of financial reform as well as of better armament, forthcaron and prepara- ton for the carnage of actual The people who see the need of financial legislation should hasten to urge their Representatives and Senators in Congress to not let this session go by without least propos ing a plan for such reform upon which the country can rally in the elections of this year.
