INVAsioN."

Louisville Courier-Journal: Hereto
fore the cries that came out OF Eng
land against the American invasion"
have been persistent, but submissive;
earnest, though friendly; serious, yet
not without the saving strain OF
humor. But the voices of protest that
now come over the sea sound suspic-
iously like they are pitched in dis
may.
And there is no wonder. For who
could have foretold that the Ameri-
can Tobacco trust would defy all rules
Of etiquette and boldly enter the Brit
ish trade and in addition to a fiat year
ly bonus Of 0 900 offer to distri-
butte with free hand among its Gus
toners all the net profits Of Its Eng
lish trade for the four years, which
will amount to $4,000, 900? The Brit
ish had been living a long while, but
they had never seen or heard anything'
exactly like this. The sweeping au-
dacity of 1t, the barbaric, rampant
Americanism OF 1t were enough to
make even the imperturbable English
aghast. 1t was the biggest morsel OF
american invasion" yet.
The announcement came just as the
British trust was chuckling at Its own
cunning. Goaded by competition, 1t
had adopted an American idea n
declared that 1t would give q bonus OF
$3.50, 900 to its customers petty
quarter Of a million-provided they
would have nothing to do with Its
American rival. Then the American
rival took up the guantlet and hurled
back it's startling response.
So the war is on-two great trusts
of competing nations are fighting ix
out on the English concerns home
ground. While commercial and large
ly prosaic, yet withal the battle has
a touch Of the romantic, and while the
fight proceeds the world looks on.

as John Dillon is the first to recall
to the British public. The threat that
the league may be suppressed does
not dismay him. 1t only means to
him that the Irish question will again
take an acute form. The present do
nothing policy Of the Salisbury gov
eminent is the one thing the Irish
leaders most regret. The revival Of
coercion would again bring their
cause to the attention Of the two great
political parties, who r. and
more disposed to ignore 1t.
There can be nc question that the
league has never before been SO pow
erful with the Irish people. 1t has
extended it's control v districts
where Parnell in his palmiest days
received scant recognition. At the
same time its influence has been to
keep it's members within legal bounds
and to avoid responsibility for any
repetition of the old agrarian outrages.
This is the one feature Of its man.
agement that seems to have excited
the greatest anxiety in Tory circles.
II England will not grant Ireland
home rule-and there is nothing In
the present temper Of the English peo-
pie to indicate that they will consent
to separation-there is but one way
Of allaying the racial passion of the
Irish. If the English politicians were
shrewd enough to make the social
prosperity Of the island their first
study they would steal the ammuni-
ton with which the leaders Of the
Irish movement have been fighting.
Balfour is the one man in the cabinet
who is sagacious enough to see that
more can be accomplished by reform
than force. It is his influence at this
time that holds his obstinate and UNI
enlightened colleagues from opening
war on the league.

Nashville American (dem.): Mr..
Bryan should look after Mississippi.
The legislature Of that state has
adopted a resolution by an almost
unanimous vote and with great en-
thusiasm to cut loose from Organism
and urging a political and business
alignment between the south and east
and the severance Of political onnec
tons with the west. When the reso-
luton was adopted members Of the
house mounted their desks, waved
their hands and yelled themselves
hoarse." The action Of the legisla,
ture Of Mississippi, an intensely dem
ocratic state in the very heart Of the
south, is very significant. Mr.. Bryan
can hardly regard 1t as otherwise
than indicative Of his waning influ-
to any man Of clear mental vision that
the democrats of the south are grow
ing weary Of Bryan and Organism, Of
mistaken and; hopeless policies which
inevitably lead to defeat and disaster.
In 1895 Mississippi out Of a total
vote Of 6S,102 gave Bryan a majority
of So, 4O4. In 1900 out Of a total vote of
57.459 1t gave Bryan a majority Of 49,
953. The democrats Of Mississippi
realize "a fact, which evidence has
made clear, that the south's alliance
with the west has been disastrous to
southern interests and to democratic
hopes of success. In 1896 Mr.. Bryan
carried the western states Of Colorado,
Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska.
Nevada, South Dakota, Utah,
Washington and Wyoming. In
1900 the only votes he got
out Of the west were those Of Col
orado, Montana, Nevada and Idaho
a total Of only 10 electoral votes, or
only one more than Tennessee gave.
These were the only votes Mr.. Bryan
secured in the west. He had none In
the east, none in the north, and of
the 155 electoral votes which he re-
ceived out Of 447 the south gave him
142.
Experience has shown the futility
and folly Of political partnership with
1.-THE west. There can be no natural po-
litical or business alliance between
the south and west. In the growth,
manufacture and exchange Of pro
ducts, in transportation, nearness of
markets, financial relations, develop
ment, enterprises, and in various ways
the south and the east are more natur-
| ally and strongly allied and naturally
related and benefited than the south
and west. Aside from the ordinary
relations and interests pertaining to
citizens Of a common country there
is little in common between the south
and west. The west politically is as
hostile to the south as the east is, and
the sentiment against the south is
at least as strong. The democratic
party has never succeeded without
aid from the east, nor is it likely to.
The Mississippi democrats give indi-
cation of wisely realizing the situa~~
ton, whatever the distinguished gen.
tleman from Nebraska, whose own
state refused to vote for him in the
last election, may think about it.

asset" CURRENCY.

asset" CURRENCY.
st. Pau. Dispatch: Criticism OF the
Fowler bill, as it was Of the monetary
commissions plan, runs on the line OF
asset" currency. The feature OF the
plan which makes the notes OF failed
banks a first lien on the assets OF the
bank is presented as the only guar.
antee provision, when 1t is the least.
If it were the only sourc the OBJ
jections would be valid, fer any bank,
before reaching the point of insolv-
ency, would have exhausted its assets
in it's struggle for safety. There is
equity, too, in the claim that the de-
p%ositors are quite as Justly entitled
to share in the salvage as are the note
holders. This line of criticism was
taken by Mr.. Charles Dawes, when
comptroller of the currency, In cppo-
sition to the plan proposed by Secre-
tary Gage. This and other objections
urged by him are very we'll met in a
communication to the Republican-Reg-
lister by John G.. Vivion, of Galesburg,
III.
1t seems important to any cons ger
aticn of the Fowler bill to rem owe
this misnomer Of 'asset" currency
and to put foremost the guarantee
fund feature, which is the Chief de-
pendence for redemption Of notes Of
insolvent banks, coupling with l, the
limitations placed by the bill upon
the quantity of issues. Banks taking
out currency under this bill may Issue
notes to 60 per cent of their paid-up,
unimpaired capital. Five per cent of
this amount is deposited in the bank
ing department of the treasury
as a guaranty of the redemp-
ton of the notes. The banks also pay
a tax of / per cent annually on all
deposits Of government funds, which,
with the tax on circulation, also goes
into the guaranty fund. From this
fund the notes Of a failed bank will
be redeemed, and the amount made
good out of the assets OF
/ the failed bank. From this provision
the idea Of asset" currency springs,
The sufficiency Of the guaranty
fund provision to meet demands upon
it is proven by all the experience of
banking under the best state systems
in operation before the war and under
our national banking act. The com
putations of comptrollers of the cur.
rency have repeatedly demonstrated
that had the guaranty fund plan been
adopted instead of the bond basis, the
fund would have met all redemptions
during the entire period and had left
a surplus largely exceeding the dis
bursements. That some other basis
than United States bonds Is impera'
tive is plain. The high price Of bonds
induces retirement of notes for which
they are pledged. The steady retire
ment of bonds is sure to bring about
the extinction Of currency based on
them. It is only a question what shall
be the basis, and all financial author
tiles agree that the guaranty fund IL
the best. Trade demands credit cur
rency; the people prefer the note tc
the coin; it is the province Of private
enterprise to supply credit currency
just as it is to supply the material fol
metallic currency; the issuing Of
money by government has always
been and and always will be attended
with monetary disturbance and should
be forever discontinued. The time is
propiticus to make the change.

Willemstad, Feb. l2.-General An

who reached this island recently, en-
ibarked on board the revolutionary steam
er Libertador during the night OF teOru-
AIRY rs. The Libertador some days ago
landed a force of insurgents on the Ven

situated near Lavela de Coro. The Ven
ezuean gunboat General Crespo, which
attempted to prevent the landing, was
fired upon and badly damaged by the
Libertador. The Crespo had her propeller
shaft broken.
The success of the Libertador has
caused a sensation at Caracas, where
great connection prevails. The news re-

active, especially in the vicinity of Bar
quisimeto.
