MONETARY SYSTEM

interest rates are a potent factor in
business activity, and in order that these
rates may be equalized to meet the vary
ing needs of the seasons and of widely
separated communities, and to prevent the
recurrence of financial stringencies which
1njuriously affect legitimate business, it is
necessary that there should be an element
OF elasticity In our monetary system.
Banks are the natural servants of COM
merce, and upon. them should be placed,
as far as practicable, the burden Of fur
n1sh1ng and maintaining a circulation
adequate to supply the needs Of our:adi :
vers1fied industries and of our domestic
ana foreign commerce; and the issue of
thls should be SO regulated that a, suffi-
cent supply should be always available for
the business interests of the country
GREATER ELASTICITY FAVORED,
1t would be both unwise and. unneces
sary at this time to attempt to recon-
struct our financial system, which has
peen the growth Of a century; but some
additional legislation is, I think, desirable.
Inc mere outline Of any plan sufficiently
comprehensive to meet these requirements
would transgress the appropriate limits
or this communication. It is suggested.
however that all future legislation on the
subject should be with the view of en-
couraging the use of such instrume ntali-
ties as will automa tically supply every ]e-

THE IsTHMIAN CANAL )

The congress has wisely provided that

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION:

AS civi1iza ton grows warfare becomes
less and less the normal condition Of for
eign relations. The last century has seen
a marked dimfnution of wars between
civilized powers; wars with .uncivilized
powers are largely mere matters of inter-
national police duty, essential for the well
fare of the world. Wherever possible, ar
bitratiOn or some similar method should
be employed in lieu Of war to settle diff
fculties between civilized nations, al
though as yet the world has not prog
ressed sufficiently to render, it. possible,
or necessarily desirable. to invoke arbi-
tration in every case. The formation of
the International tribunal which sits at
The Hague Is event of good omen
welfare of all mankind may flow. 1t is
a permanent tribunal than to create spe-
cial arbitra tors for a given purpose.
It is a matter of sincere congra tulation
to our country that the United States
and Mexico should have been the first to
use the good offices of The Hague court.
This was done last summer with most
satisfactory results in, the case of claim
at issue between us and our sister repub
lie. It is earnestly to be hoped that. this
first case will serve, as, a. precedent for
Others, in which not only the United
States but foreign ma tons may take adj
vantage of the machinery already in Elk
istence at The Hague. faf
I commend to the favorable considera-
ton Of the congress the Hawaiian fire

REVISION OF THE TARIFF

Stability Of economic policy, must al
ways be the prime economic need of this
country. This stability should not be
fossilization. The country has acquiesced
in the wisdom Of the protective tariff
principle. It is exceedingly undesirable
that this system should be destroyed or
that there should be violent and radical
changes therein. Our past experience
shows that great prosperity in this: coun-
try has always come under a protective
tariff; and that the country can not pros
per under fitful tariff changes at short
intervals. Moreover, if the, tariff laws
as whole work we'll, and If business has
prospered under them and Is prospecting.
1t is better to endure for a time slight
inconvenience and inequalities in some
schedules than to upset business by too
quick and too radical changes. 1t Is most
: earnestly to be wished that we could
treat the tariff from the standpoint solely
of our business needs. It Is, perhaps. too
much to hope that partisanship may be
/ entirely excluded from consideration Of
the subject, but at least it can be made
secondary to the business interests Of the
country-that is to the interests of our
people as a whole. Unquestionably these
business interests will best be served II
together with fXity Of principle as re-
CARDS the tariff we combine a system
which will permit us from time to time
to make the necessary reapplication of the
principle to. the shifting national needs.
We must take scrupulous care that the
reapplcation shall be made in such a
way that it will not amount to disloca-
tlon of our system, the mere threat Of
which (not to speak of the performance
would produce paralysis in the business
enegies of the community. The first con-
sideration in making these changes would,
of course. be to preserve the principle
which underles our whole tariff SYSTEM
that IS. the principle of putting American
business interests at least on full equal

IRRIGATION

Few subjects Of more importance ha Va
been taken UP by the congress In recent
years than the Inauguration of the sys-
tenn of nationally aided irrigation for the
arid regions of the far west. A good be-
ginning therein has been made. Now that
this policy of national irrigation has been
adopted, the need of thorough and scien-
tific forest protection will grow more rap
idly than ever throughout the. public
land states 49,.
Legislation should be provided, for the
protection Of the game, and the wild
creatures generally, on the forest re-
serves. The senseless slaughter of game,
which can by judicious protection be per-
manently preserved on our, national re-
serves for, the people as a whole, should
be stopped at once. 1t is. for instance,
serious count against our national good
sense to permit the present practice OF
butchering off such stately and beauti.
full creature, as the elk for its antlers or
tusks. -.

THE POSTAL SERVICE

The striking increase in the revenues Of
the postoffice department shows clearly
the prosperity of our people and the in
creasing activity Of the business Of the
country. -
The receipts of the postoff1ce department
for the fiscal year ending, June 80 last
amounted to S121, S48, 047.26, an increase of
Slo,zlb So3.S7 over the preceding year, the
largest increase known in the history of
the postal service. The magnitude of this
increase VIII best appear from the fact
that the entire postal receipts for the
year 1850 amounted to but sS,51S, o67. 49,"
RURAL FREE DELIVERY
Rural free delivery service is no longer
IN the experimental stage; it has become
a nSed policy. The results following it's
INTRODUCTION have fully justified the con-
sfess IN the large appropriations made for
us establishment and extension. The aver
age yearly increase in postoffice receipts
IN the rural districts OF the country is
about ? per cent. We are now able, bv
actual results, to show that where rural
free delivery service has been established
20 such an extent as to enable US to make
comparisons the yearly increase has been
upward Of 10 per cent. :. -.
On Nov. l. 1902. II, $50 rural free delivery
routes had been established and were in
operation, covering about one-third of the
territory of the United States available
for rural free delivery service. There are
now awaiting the action Of the depart
ment petitions and applications for the
establishment Of 1O.74S additional routes,
This shows conclusively the want which
the establishment of the service has met
and the need of further extending il as
rapidly as possible. 1t Is Justified both
by the financial results and by the prac-
ticai benefits to our rural population; IL

with the markets; it Is a potential edu-
catIonal force; 1t enhances the value of
farm property, makes farm life far pleas
a1ter and less isolated, and will do muel,
to check the undesirable current from
country to city.
1t is to be hoped that the congress will
make liberal appropriations for the con-
tinuance of the service already esta blisfed
and for it's further extensions.

of liberty and self-government; but
we have certainly gone to the limit that
in the interests OF the Philippine people
themselves it was wise or just to go. To
hurry matters. to go faster than we are
now going, would entail calamity on the
people Of. the islands.
OUR POLICY INDICATED.
No policy ever entered into by the Amer
lean people has vindicated itself in more
signal manner than the policy Of holding
the Philippines. The triumph of our
arms, above all the triumph Of our laws
and principles, has come sooner than we
had any right to expect. Too much praise
can not be given to the army for what 1t
has done in the Philippines both In war;
fare and from an administrative standpoint
In preparing the way for civil government;
and similar credit belong to the civil au-
thorities for the way in which they have
planted the seeds of self-government in
the ground thus made ready for them. The
courage, the untlinching endurance, the
high soldierly efficiency, and the general
kind-heartedness and humanity of our
troops have been strikingly manifested
There now remain only some Is, 900 troops
in the islands. All told over 100 600 ha We
been sent there. z a s.
OF course, there have been individual in
stances Of wrong doing among them They
Warred under fearful difficulties Of cli-
mate and surroundings; and under the
strain OF the terrible provocations which
they continually received from their foes.
occasional instances Of cruel retaliation
occurred. Every effort has been made to
prevent such cruelties, and finally these
efforts have been completely successful.
Every effort has also been made to detect
and punish the wrongdoers. After MAX
ing all allowance for these misdeeds, it
remains true that few, indeed have been
the instances in which war has been
waged by a civilized power against semi
civilized or barbarous forces where there
has been so little wrongdoing by the VIC
tors as in the Philippine Islands. On
the other hand, the amount. of difficult:
important, and benefcent work which has
been done is well-nigh incalculable.
A TASK WELL DONE. -
Taking the work OF the army and the
civil authorities together, it may be ques-
toned whether anywhere else in modern
times the world has seen better example
OF real constructive craftsmanship than
our people have given in the Philippine
islands. High praise should also be Civ
en- those Filipinos, in the aggregate very
numerous, who have accepted the new
conditions and Joined with our repre-
sentatlves, to work with hearty good viii
for the welfare Of the islands.

AMEND THE CONSTITUTIONAL. MEG
&ESSARY.

earnestly recommend this subject to
the considerations Of the congress with "a
view to the passage of a law reasonable
in it's provisions and effective in its oper-
ations, upon which the questions can be
finally adjudtcated that now raise doubts
as to the necessity of constitutional
amendment If it prove impossible to ac-
complish the purposes above set forth
by such a law then, assuredly, we should
not shrink from amending the constitution
SO as to secure beyond pc-adventure the
power sought.
The congress has not heretofore made
any appropriation for the better enforce
ment Of the antitrust law 1t now
stands. Very much has been done by the
department of justice in securing the en-
forcement Of this law, but much more
could be done if congress would make
special appropriation for this purpose, to
be expended under the direction of the
attorney general.
, TARIFF AND THE TRUsTs.
One proposition advocated has been the
reduction of the tariff as a means OF
reaching the evils Of the trusts which fall
within the category j have described.
Not merely would this be wholly ineffect-
i've but the diversion CT oar efforts in
such direction would mean tie abandon
ment Of all intelligent attempts to do
away with these evils. Mary Of the
largest corporations, many Of those which
should certainly be included In any proper
scheme Of regulation, would not be af-
fected in the slightest degree by change
in the tariff, save as such change inter-
fered with the general prosperity OF the
country The only relation of the tariff
to big corporations as a whole is that the
tariff makes manufactures profitable, and
the tariff remedy proposed would De IN
effect simply to make manufactures un-
profitable. To remove the tariff as pun
tive measure directed against trusts
would inevitably result in ruin to the
weaker competitors who are struggling
against them Our aim should be not by
l1nwise tariff changes to give foreign prod
ucts the advantage over domestic prod
ucts. but by proper regulation to give do
rnestic competition fair chance: and
this end cannot be reached by any tariff
changes which would affect unfavorably
all domestic competitors. good and bad
alike. Tho question Of regulation OF the
trusts stands apart from the question OF
tariff revision.
