labor's Greatest Enemy Is Itself.

Henry CleWs. the great financial au-
thority. touches on the matter Of
strikes in his latest weekly letter and
his views are of much value. He says
some things that organized labor can
not afford to disregard at this time
when strike mutterings, on one pre-
text or another, are so general. The
journal discussed this problem in this
column a few days ago and is glad Of
the opportunity to quote the strong
and sound views Of Mr.. CIeWs. He
says it is useless to deny that the
threatening attitude of labor is viewed
with considerable concern by both in
dustrial and railroad managers. Wages
in the lower grades of labor, where
business has been exceptionally good,
have in many instances been volun-
tarily advanced; and the new indus
trial combinations have often been
enabled to show exceptional liberality
to their employees in the matter of
wages 1t is not forgotten. however,
that these advances have been granted
because Of phenomenal conditions; con
dtions which cannot be expected to
continue very much longer. and when
they cease wages must decline. The
cost of manufacturing has already
been so heavily enhanced in other di-
rections that any reduction in the cost
of finished products, which must surely
come as soon as the pressure of de
mand abates, will compel the manu-
flcturer to resist any further rise in
wages and may in fact obige him to
find means of lcssening the labor cost.
Mr.. Clews shows that it is quite
possible for the demands of labor to
Ic pushed so far as to injure its own
interests most. American manufac-
turers are rapidly increasing their
product for foreign markets and about
- per cent of our exports now consist
Of manufactured products. Let the
cost of these be carried any higher
and we shall Immediately be shut out
e mary foreign markets; the foothold
we have gained will be lost. and sur
Illus p~cducts now exported will b.

The Boston Journal justly calls it Il
large sign Of the times when a bill in
creasing by 5io0 mon the present
artillery strength of the United States
army passes the Senat without one
dissenting vote. There is much de-
claiming against "militarism'' by Ger
tain politicians ana certain news
papers, but the American people ana
their lawmakers realize that We must
hereafter look a great deal more as
sidiously to national defence, and this
without any reference to the Philip
pine question. Even if the war with
Spain had not left this far Eastern
archipelago on our hands, an increase
in the educated officers and trained
soldiers of the United States would still
nave had to be made. and il would
have been made by vote as unani-
nous as this suggestive vote Of thr

State Banking in Maine.

The May number OF Sound Cur
rencv'' will be of great interest to the
people of Maine in general, and par
ticularly to the citizens of our own
CITY. Its chief feature is an article OF
20 pages on state Banking in Maine,
by Everett Birney Stackpole, men,
Der of the senior class in Bowdolh COL
lore and the son of Rev. e. S. Stack
mole. late of this city. The article
covers the history of our State banking
from 1893 down to the establishment OF
the national banking system OF 1864
and is a notable contribution to the
,ocal history of Maine along line
which has hitherto received little at
tention from our historians. The
preparation of such an exhaustive
monograph involved a great amount of
study and original research, and his
success reflects much credit upon the
brilliant young author.
The general divisions of Mr.. Stack
poles work are those of general his
tory; redemption through the Suffolk
system, and frauds, failures and de-
fects, Between 1893, when the old Port
land bank, the first State bank formed
in Maine. was chartered, and 1864
Maine had no less than 1S4 State banks
of which number 81 became national
hanks under the national banking sys-
tenn of 1864 Mr. Stackpole's sketch of
the Suffolk bank redemption system
and its influence as regulator of the
currency of the Maine banks is par
ticularly intero sting. 1t appears from
this history that the currency of this
State. and of the rest of New England
was rendered sound, equal and uni
form, as well as elastic, by the con-
slant redemption of all bank bills in
Boston. Another interesting point
brought out by Mr.. Stackpole's paper
is that the bank notes of that early
period were not secured by United
States bonds: but by the general COM
mercial assets of the banks. one re
suit of this was to give the inhabi-
tants of this State the benefit of more
Iiber raj loans and lower rates cf interest
than they could have had if thc banks
had been obliged to invest largely in
two per cent. bonds, as required by our
present national banking law.
Throughout the whole article the
most painstakinG work is shown It
covers the whole ground and covers it
in a most comprehensive manner Its
style is clear and concise, ana it Is
difficult to conceive that such an i'm
portant addition to Names historical
writings is from so young an author.
The article deserves, and will doubt
less receive n careful reading by all
Interested in the financial history Of
Maine. as well as in the currency
question generally. Il gives Mr.. Stack
pole unusual prominence among fnan-
cial authorities for 50 young 4 man.
and is most promising beginning for
his career as a writer.

thrown upon the home market, forcing
either shut-downs or reductions. in
stead of advances in prices and higher
wages. Labor is already sharing free
ly in the general prosperity; the pres
ent large gains of capital are only
temporary. and will barely compensate
to the extent of making a respectable
average profit for the last five years
1t is comparatively small period
since many manufacturing concerns
were either on the edge Of bankruptcy
or else only earning beggarly divi-
dends; and before many months they
will be obliged to meet new compe-
tition and reduced earnings.
The true friend of labor will certain
ly advise moderation. Labor has been
the great corporations lately; and it
will simply cause injury to itself by
enforcing terms that restrict pr1duc-
ton and check new enterprise. If the
labor unions would only select men Of
character ana ability as leaders in

would-be politicians. their cause would
be better served ana their progress
more sure. When the spirit Of fair

OLD COIN DIES DESTROYED.
Mint Omcials Have No Further Use
. " for 1890 Molds-Our Coins
the Einest.

One thousand and seventy dies bear
ing the date of 1899, and used last year
to coin hundreds of millions of all de-
nominations of money, were destroyed
at the Philadelphia mint January 2 in
the presence of Superintendent Boyer,
the assayer and chief coiner. The dies
destroyed, says the Philadelphia Times,
were for coming double eagles, eagles,
half eagles, quarter eagles, silver dol
lars, half dollars, quarters, dimes, nick
elsand pennies. They were first thrown
into the furnace IS at time, and on
reaching white heat were drawn out,
one at time and hammered into a
mass Of misshapen metal. Many of the
reverse sides of the dies were kept
for further use. The only diverse die
used at the Philadelphia mint in 1899
and retained was the one used for strik-
ing off the La Fayette dollar, which is
dated 1900. Every die used by the Unit
ed States is engraved and then de-
stroyed in this city, an account being
kept of each die. The United States
makes the finest coins in the world,
ranking above England and Russia in
the order named.
