TELLER FAYORS MEDDLING
Says United States Should Protest
Against Dismemberment of China.


New York, Jan. At is our duty to
said Senator Teller of Colorado today
I'VE should join Great Britain in a
notice to Russia and Germany that dis
memberment will not be permitted.
Even without Great Britain we
should give such notice. Almost our
very existence as a nation is involved
Should we permit it, we would have
nothing more than a mere existence.
when it is said that the United
States cannot interfere it should be un-
derstood what a failure to interfere
will involve The dismemberment of
China means the cutting off of our COM
merce in the Orient and the introduce
tfon of a competitor who will deprive
US of the commerce of the rest of the
world and even supply our people.
We cannot permit this without sink
ing to the position of a third or fourth
nation, helpless, degraded, without in
Huence among the nations of the earth.
We would have to submit to the dOmi-
nation of an absolutism among the ma
tions; our own institutions would take
on a decline and the civilization repre-
sented by this government and the
English government would cease to
progress
we would suffer more than any 9TH
er people. We have more involved and
would be more directly injured. It is
folly, therefore, to say that we should
have nothing to say.
But that is not the worst of it. If
this dismem berment occurs the people
of what is now China viii become the
producers for the whole world A COM
petitiVe production and trade will be
introduced against which neither we
nor any other people can successfully
contend The economic conditions of
the world will be changed

Il regard this plan as far more i'm
portant, as well as more practicable -
says Mr. Shearman, than any other
remedy which has been proposed for
the settlement of the currency ques-
ton
Mr.. Shearman insists that nature has
driven conditions forward to "a point at
which the whole country is actually on
a banking basis, instead of a money
basis, for exchange.
Those sections of the country which
have the fewest good banks are just
as much upon a banking basis as the
rest of the country" he said. 1.-The
tremendous increase of exchange, which
has gone on with advancing civiliza-
ton, has reached proportions which
make it hopeles sto expect that such
exchanges can ever be carried on by
the use of actual money, however that
term may be defined. And whether
money consists only of gold and silver,
or includes also bank and government
notes representing gold and silver,
makes practically no difference. There
is not, there never was and there never
would be enough money, even with
these liberal definitions to enable one
tenth of the exchanges of this country
to be conducted by the actual use of
any such money. The disprOpOrtiOn
will increase instead of diminish.
Large central banks ought to be al
lowed to establish branches in every
part of the country" continued Mr..
Shearman '"These branches could be
conducted with great economy and
therefore could furnish the means of
exchange at but a slight advance over
the cost of exchanges in the cities.
THE effectiveness of the branch
bank system, in solving the currency
problem, is sufficiently proved by the
example of Canada, where this system
is in full operation and the currency
n11RStiO0 is never raised.

stinctively turned to the experience of
Cy Leland for counsel, and to his gen
ius for inspiration, 1 do not recall it
How often when the battle seemed lost
have we not all heard Cy Leland's
trumpet tones calling on freedom s
shattered hosts to rally round the flag
money.
In all our party platforms Cy Le-
lands facile and graphic pen has form
ulated the issues of desperate cam
paigns in pregnant sentences that have
been the prelude of victory.
Consider too the admiFa BILE career of
this venerable leader as county COM
missioner of Donfphan, where he has
kept the party solid for 20 years and
marshaled its delegation in every state
and district convention, with no sus-
piciOn of trade and dicker. nor any ac-
cusa1on that he was in politics for
what he could get out of it.
THAT this disinterested patriot who
aspired to cabinet portfolio as see
retary of the interior or of agriculture.
to which by his talent and service he
was justly entitled, voluntarily ac-
cepted the inferior position of pension
agent, when everybody wanted Tom
Anderson for that place. is conclusive
proof that he did not enrich himself bv
stealing the money contributed to the
campaign fund of the state, as has
been so basely insinuated.
These calumniOus on Cy Leland
weaken the defences of public virtue
bilious young men to devote themselves
to the public service if the exalted
character and honorable fame of Cy
Leland are no armOr against the weap-
ons Of envy and personal detraction?
Those who impute SOrdid and selfish
purposes to our revered leader. who
impugn his motives and sneer at his
qualities forget that in 1892 the Re
publican convention at Hutchinson
with much enthusiasm demanded his
retirement from the national commit
tee. But he knew what the party need
ed better than it knew itself, and by an
act of incOmpara BILE Self-sacrifice he
saved it from the consequences of its
own error. He co Oltinued on the COM
mittee and out of the chaos of the rev
olution of 1891 he created an organiza-
partment of the state government to
Populism and gave the electoral vote
