COMMENT ON MEASURE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-'Everv man

Tor the establishment and maintenance of
the gold standard and the other impor-
tant features of the financial measure
reported by the house and the senate con-

as whole, an ideal measure, but it is a
great step forward, and worth all the
time and labor that the sound money
organization has spent to secure it. The
business men of the country have much
yet to accomplish before our financial sys-
tenn is properly adjusted to our rapidly
expanding commerce, but these changes
Will come latep 1t was first necessary to
establish the gold standard, and this con-
gress has wisely and well done.
THE sections of the bill which define
the standard and provide the means to
maintain 1t are clear and explicit. They
admit of no misunderstanding 1t is made
mandatory upon the secretary of the
treasury to maintain all forms of money
at parity with gold, and a gold issue
of $l50,000,000 is provided for the redemp-
ton of the greenbacks and the treasury
notes.
''The secretary of the treasury is re-
quired to sell bonds to maintain the re-
serve, and the proceeds cannot be used
for current expenses. This is a wise pro-
vision. 1t avoids an unnecessary increase
of the national debt, and prevents a con-
traction of the currency.
There is much to be said in criticism
and in favor of the refunding scheme,
but, taken in connection with the gold
standard sections, it will help firmly to
establish our credit at home and abroad.
If successful, the floating at par of 2 per
cent bonds must be regarded as great
financial triumph. The rate of interest is
lower than the British empire pays for
its oonsols, and it is below the rate paid
by any other European government. The

1t is generally called, is a blemish ON the

NO LARGE SHORTAGE.

Loggers of the Northwest are jubiiant
over the splendid weather which has pre-
vailed during February, and the opera
lions among the big concerns in the piner-
les are on in full blast. This does not ap-
ply to the small loggers, says the Missis-
sippi Valley Lumberman, as the scarcity
of snow has made the conditions not SO
favorable for this class. The larger OPP
orators, however, have ice roads, and the
weather was most agreeable. While there
will not be as large a cut as last year,
the shortage that was feared earlier in
the season will not be a very serious ore.
The price of lumber during the coming
summer promises to remain unchanged.
