THE SOURCE OF TROUBLE.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Concerning the new rule Of the Clearing
House in regard TO the tax on checks. we must
say that 1t entirely against interests and Is
furthermore the cause of great disadvantage and
the source of troubles that are now rapidly accu-
mulating.
The greater part of our retail trade is carried
through the medium of subscriptions from the
country These orders. generally accompanied by
remittance In checks. are comparatively very small
and II is therefore obvious that this character OF
remittance is impossible. nor can accompanying
losses be tolerated, even in cases OF orders amount
ing to s.
Some, or. rather, most. Of our customers seem to
be ignorant of this new tax. and hence another
source of trouble We shall be obliged. II this tax Is
not repealed to notify patrons Of the dlsadvan
tage OF the check and ask them to discontinue such
further remittance.

When Admiral Dewey entered the
crescent shaped harbor of Trieste the
other day on the Olympia, the United
States flag was thrown to the breeze
from the summit staff of the govern
ment building, the first time in all
history that the American flag ever
fioeted from public building in that
historic old city. So much for the re-
spect ana admiration the United
States of America have inspired
among the people of the Old World
1t was not so very long ago that in
that same harbor Of Trieste and in
other European ports American citi-
zens were snubbed by the petty Gus
tom officers, and the Americans in
the commonest affairs Of business

The entrances to danger buildings
are protected by boards placed edge

Every week the machinery is in
