 'HThe plain truth is the country has used up all it's available floating capi-. tai, and readjustment is imperative, either through contraction, retrench- ment or waiting in patience until our national savings provide fresh sup ply" writes Banker Clews. Had 8 modern scientific currency plan in. stead of the present obsolete, inelastic method, which has more than once brought us to the edge of disaster. the situation would largely correct itself. Nothing but an ignorant, popular pre- judice against banks has prevented our having a currency capable of 6expaId1 ing or contracting according & to de5 mand; and such a currency, it ought to be known, is of more benefit to the public than to the banks, which have no objection whatever to the high rates of interest forced by artificial scarcity. An elastic currency is really of vastly greater advantage to the pub lie than to the banks, hence the latters comparative apathy on the subject; but the patient creature called the pub lie seems to learn it's needs only through the painful and costly school of experience.

HOW BETTY MADE MINCE-MEAT.

Since Betty had mastered pastry, she felt that pies would give very little trouble. So she went vigorously to work stoning rais- iTs. shredding citron, cleaning entrants and Sultana raisins, and boiling and chopping beef.
 . Of this beef she bought a lean piece, weighing a generous pound. This she boiled and minced and put with it half agpound of beef Kidney suet. Two and half pounds of tart apples were peeled, cored and chopped, and this. with 2 pound of seeded and chopped Taisins, pound of well cleaned cur rants, half a pound of Sultanas. care fully picked over, a scant half pound of finely shredded citron. and d pound and quarter of brown sugar were mixed with the beef and suet Then 1n went the spices. A tabIeSpoonful each of cinnamon and mace. half q ta- #blesDOOnful each of cloves and alIspice. half nutmeg, grated and a heaning teaspoonful of salt were stirred in. and last of all pint of cider was mt in to moisten the mince-meat.

There is probably no more perpfexed man in Washington today than Presi- dent Roosevelt. writes a correspondents
 After yielding his own convictions, that the tariff ought to be revised, and accepting the dictum of Senator Hanna and his school of politicians, that the winning policy for the republican party was to s.stand pat" after being as sured that if he wanted to be elected in 1904 he must not countenance revision, the president is now receiving the as surances of the western members and senators that the only hope of the party in their section of the country lies in making good the pledges of the last campaign, that the tariff would be
 revised by it's friends. h the hope of gaining a clearer insight into the situation the president has appealed to the members of his cabinet and to the republican leaders There is no doubt amongst the eastern members, who all say sstand pat" but Secretary Wilson. for instance, says his state wants re vision. Representative Babcock insists on an extra session called for that pur- pose exclusively, and the Minnesota delegation say that they were elected on tariff reform platform. The same is true. of Idaho and other western states which were carried for the re publican party only by the personal popularity of tbe president and the as suranee that he would insist on 3 revis- ion of the tariff which would curtail the inordinate profits of the trusts.

Tho failure of the last session t

The failure of the last session to
 pass the Cuban reciprocity bill is bear
 ing fruit in a way that is cause of
 grave anxiety to the administration.
 The Cubans, who were last year beg ging the United States to grant them
 some concessions from the Dingley rates, have now been fiattered and ca ioled into the belief that they are quite independent of this country and that there is no reason why they should seek concessions from this country at the expense of their relations with for eign nations. The diplomatic corps in Havana has been most industrious in producing this frame of mind among the Cubans and most successful Gen. eral Bliss. who has been sent to Cuba to negotiate treaty providing that the Cuban tariff on imports from the United States shall remain the same. while it is raised 90 per cent on i'm ports from other countries, and that the Dingley rates on Cuban imports to this country shall be reduced % per cent, reports that he is meeting with almost insurmountable difficulties. The president said at his last cabinet meet ing that he did not propose to offer any further concessions to Cuba, which he regarded as foolish and ungratefui, and that in so far as he was concerned there would be no deviation from en- forcing every provision of the Platt amendment to the line. This pleases the advocates of annexation. who say |that sooner OF later there will be fTie- tfnon 1n Cuba which will result ia that
