and real liberty. They prefer the substance OF
freedom to lis shadow.

II would be interesting to bankers in
general. as we'll as to the people OF the
country at large, to learn just what
national bank president or millionaire di-
rector must do to secure his share Of the
nations cash capital for use in the money
market, without seemingly being obliged
to pay anybody a cent for it. Where
States loan public money they demand
interest for it, and generally receive about
three per cent. as far as We are able to
learn. Why people who borrow State
money should pay, and the same or other
people who borrow United States money
should not, is a problem that We leave
to the reader to unravel
There has never been the slightest hint
of personal corruption in the scandals
which have clouded the course of the Ad-
ministration in the New York custom
house deal and in turning the Treasury
surplus over to its Wall Street intimates.
The latter are and always have been en-
thusiastic for Mckinley and prosperity;
have made their clerks march up Broad
way in the rain to fill up the ranks Of
Republican paraders; have endorsed Mr.
Hanna at repeated banquets. and perhaps
have done little something for his cam
paign barrel. Why should not they be re-
warded with the interest on ninety or
hundred million dollars for a few years?
Gratitude is a noble virtue, and one which
never suggests to the donor any idea Of
division with the donee. Gratitude. in
short, is very different from human ma
ture
But the dear public would much prefer
that the Administration should be less
grateful or philanthropic, or whatever it
IS. and exact some reasonable interest for
the use of national funds by private per-
sons or corporations. AS we have re-
marked, the States do it, and the General
Government ought TO. 1t might be doing
that very thing today if the Democrats in
the late Congress had fulfilled their duty.

The Republican Treasury and the
National Banks.

There were so many opportunities winch
the Democrats in the Fifty-siNth CON
gress overlooked or ignored that per
hans 4 few. more or less may be hardly
worth reverting to. An exception, per
hans, should be made in the matter OF
Democratic neglect to pillory the Admin
istration for its notorious practice of CIV
ing the free use Of the public funds to
PERTAIN financial institutions in New York
The facts were before the country. They
appeared plainly in the report of the
COMPTROLLER of the Currency. The atten-
ton of the Democratic leaders in ooth
Houses was repeatedly directed to this
scandal and abuse by The Times. and one
or two other independent journals. Yet
the whole of the late session was allowed
to pass by without an effort to probe the
evil
Republican politicians and their Wall
Street coparceners are now expressing the
utmost surprise and the greatest relief
that the opposition should have shut their
eyes to the chance they had to arouse
public indignation and TO compel the Ad-
ministration to abandon its free loan
practices. This surprise may be pretend
ed rather than real. because it is possible
that it may have been Democratic plaza
bility and not stupidity which left the
trust and monopoly interest in the Gov
eminent free from the official exposure
and public criticism and resentment 1t
had reason to and did fear. True. there
is not much to expect from such de
moralized and leaderless minority as
marked the history of the late Congress;
but it would seem natural that, even at
that. some individual Democratic SEN
ator or Representative would take up the
cudgels for the American taxpayer in
such fragrant circumstances.
AL the time the Democrats in the House
were figuring on their prospects for good
committee assignments in the Fifty-sev-
enth Congress. or with their Senatorial
friends were logrolling for public build
ings. exposition appropriations, or slices

of Government money in their business.
at profit to themselves for the year of
hardly less than four or four and half
million dollars. In the report of the
Comptroller the actual sum placed in the
hands of these fortunate bankers is
stated at sS7, 992, 7S2, the New York bene-
ficiaries being as follows:
