BANkS AND TIE TRUSTS.

At n dinner of bankers in New York
a few days ago Secretary Gage took Oc-
casion to warn them against the over
capitalized industrial combinations. He
said that it seemed to him that the
chief danger today to American pros
perity is that men who think they see
profits in the way of economies due to
combination Immediately set to work
TO capitalize these theoretical profits and
to realize upon the capital. He urged
the bankers to protect the community
against such falacies. The warning Is
said to have made an impression upon
the bankers, who had generally them
selves been thinking on the subject. 1t
is stated that conservatism has for some
months been the policy of the banks in
dealing with loans for which industrial
collateral was offered, in many in
stances unmiXed industrial collateral
being refused absolutely, while in
other instances the amount loaned OH
it has been such as to allow such a ma
terial decline in the prices of shares or
certificates as to fully protect the banks,
To what extent the various combina-
tions, particularly those organized
within the last twelve months, are over
capitalized, it is impossible to deter
mine. 1t is probable that not only all the
common stock of most of the recent in
dustrial combinations represents
wind" but that from % TO 80 per cent
of the preferred stock is of the same
character. If this estimate is ap-
proximately correct the over-capitaliza-
ton amounts to not less than $1,000
100000 and is probably in excess Of
that, No intelligent business man needs
to be told that this involves a very dis
tinct danger to financial security and
to the prosperity of the country and
the worst of it is that the mania has

An American missionary in China
who has lived in the northern part of
that empire for fifteen years, presents
in the April number of the Forum his
views respecting American opportuni-
ties there-political, commercial and re-
ligious. He points out that by rea
son of the fact that we have not as
serted, in striking way, our political
rights as stipulated by treaties with
China, the United States has placed it.
self at n disadvantage, since it must
now deal not only with the Chinese
authorities, but also with the European
governments that are in control of Chi
nese territory. This is true, yet what
ever the disadvantage-and it is not
thus far shown to be at all serious
we have kept out of entanglements that
would inevitably have resulted from
any aggressive. assertion Of political
rights on our part. Thus we have re-
tanned the friendship of the Chinese
government, while not antagonizing any
European government having interests
in China, from all of which, with the
possible exception of France, we may
reasonably expect n continuance of fair
treatment and just respect for our
treaty rights in China. No one doubts
this so far as Great Britain is con
cerned, while neither Russia nor Ger
many has thus far shown any dispoSi-
ton to ignore or disregard American
interests. OF course it is possible they
may do this in the future, but it Is by
no means probable, since the conditions
which now operate for the safeguard
ing of our interests in that quarter of
the world are very sure to become
stronger
In regard to our commercial influence
in China Rev. Mr.. Reid says it has
not been pushed as it should have been.
He remarks that there is plenty OF
American push, to the degree of over
supply, in America, but laughable de
ficlency of push amid the teeming mil
lions of the orient There is a large
American trade with China, but to "A
very considerable extent it is done
through English OF German merchants,
SO that 1t does not always go to our
credit with the Chinese buyers. The
neglect of Oriental trade by the manu-
facturers and merchants of the United
States is not difficult to understand. For
one thing there are valuable markets
nearer to us the cultivation of which
seemed to promise better results and
another thing Is that until very re-

as it has been TO our trade with South
America. Moreover it is not many
years since the necessity for foreign
markets for our manufactures became
urgent But now that strong inter

trade American enterprise will undoubt-
edly show in that direction its usual
energy and push and may confidently
be expected to in time secure Il liberal
share of the commerce of that quarter
of the world.

A DISGRACE TO ILLINOIS.

The lower house of the Illinois leg
islature has declared in favor of the
removal of the tomb of Abraham Lin
coin from Oakridge cemetery to the vi
cinity of the state capitol. The leader
of the movement for the removal made
this declaration on the floor of the
house:
There are people in Springfield who do
not desire that the tomb shall be removed
from its present location. l do not believe
lue desires or wishes of the people of
Springfield should be considered in this
matter. By reason of their shameful neg
lect of the tomb of President Lincoln they
are the last people who should be con-
suited. For twenty years it has been al
most impossible to reach the tomb during
the winter months. l want to know how
many of the members of the legislature
have seen Lincoln's tomb this winter? It
has been impossible for them to reach it
because the people of Springfield have pro-
vided no means of getting to it. At present
it can only be reached by wading through
a quagmre.
The neglect of the Lincoln tomb is a
matter of national notoriety and Il dis
grace to the state of Illinois. The mon
umental structure under which rest the
remains of the martyred president has
been allowed to fall almost to pieces and
the approaches to it are in a shameful
state of dilapidatiOn. The bill propos-
ing the removal of the tomb carries with
it an appropriation of 100000 and also
contains clause asking the national
government to appropriate 100000 and
contemplates in addition thereto an ap-
peal for private subscriptions aggregat-
ing 100000, making in all $1,O0O,O00.
If carried out this would be patri-
otic scheme of raising money under false
pretenses. The state of Illinois has as
sumed the sacred responsibility of car
ing for the remains of its greatest citi-
zen. 1T is in honor bound to provide the
necessary means to maintain the tomb
and make it accessible by constructing
roadways and approaches by which the
cemetery may be reached at ali seasons
of the year. If 100000 is insufficient
for the work of restoration and improve.
ment the empire state of the west is
not only amply able but should con.
slider it a privilege to contribute what
ever sum may be required.
We apprehend the scheme of removal
for the sake of building $1,0000OO
memorial will not strike Il popular chord
in any section of the country.
