which the platform declares was per-
formed at its first session, but which the
administration, through it's secretary of
the treasury, and the party, through its
organs. have admitted was not per-
formed2 Is it not important to com
plete forthwith the reform that was the
chief object of the currency act2 Could
there be any excuse for another failure
to place the standard beyond the reach
of the executive department, to plant
it so securely that no president could
tamper with it, and where only full leg
islative power could touch it?
There has been enough of talk on this
subject. The country demands the
maintenance of the gold standard. The
entire Mckinley vote. supplemented by
more than half of the Bryan vote, may
be safely assumed to represent the
strength of that standard. The senate
tinkered the house bill with fatal
effects But senators who were respon-
sible for that tinkering were loudest in
declaring that the measure as it finally
passed was perfect SO far as related to
fixing the standard. Since then they
profess to have seen a new light. Is it
not time for trifing to stop? Is it not
the imperative duty of the F'ifty-sixth
congress to do the work which it
claimed to have done in the first ses-
sion?
It IS too serious matter for trivial
treatment. This congress has taught
the country to look for farce-comedy
when it approaches the trust question
Is it going to put the monetary stand
ard in the same category?

How times have changed. It is with
in the memory of a large part Of the
population when the chief end and aim
of legislature, financial and otherwise was
to attract foreign capital to this country.
The result has been all that could be
hoped for or expected. nfact our way of
doing things seems to have worked so
well that we have attracted capital to
such an extent that there is not left
across the Atlantic a sufficient amount
of the needful for carrying on business
Hence it is that the public reads at fire.
guent intervals that this or that Eur
opean country or city is seeking or OBJ
tanning loan in the United States. But
the return of formerly attracted capital
Is not confined to loans. Mr.. Charles F.
Yerkes, the former street railway mag
nate of Chicago, in connection with Ger
tain other American capitalists is about
