SIGNING OF THE PROTOCOL,

The signing of the protocol of the
commercial treaty between the United
States and Cuba does not mean the
contamination of a trade convention.
This can only be accomplished by the
legislative bodies Of the two nations.
However, the work of the signatories,
General Bliss for the United States
and President Palmas representatives
on behalf of Cuba, is significant. 1t
does mean that the first step has been
taken, which is to result in the con-
summation of the Cuban policy advis-
ed by President Mckinley and endors.
ed by President Roosevelt. 1t forms a
basis upon which negotiations between
the two governments can be carried or
for the betterment of the mutula trade
relations. 1t is to be hoped that the
question of trade treaty will be re.
ceive the closest attention from the
members of the treaty making bodies
of the two countries and that whatever
provisions it may contain will be for
the advancement of the commercial
trade of the two nations.

FOUND IN THE TALL GRASS.

Atlantic Telegraph: August Ander-
son, who lives in Brighton township,
has been having grief with his fish
pond since the cold weather began.
He has had pond of carp which he
has been caring for with diligence for
some years, and which has proved to
be a great source of profit to him.
Last week he discovered tracks which
led him to believe that some ole had
been molesting his fish, and upon fol
lowing he found hole in a snowbank
in which the culprit had apparently
escaped. Following this he found a
mink and in the nest which the ami
NAL had prepared were 1907 carp,
many of them over foot long, and
fat and in fine shape. Mr.. Anderson
estimates the value of the dead fish
at $30.He has had trouble with the at
tacks of turtles in the summer time,
and now that the thefts of mink are
to be added in the winter his industry
is threatened with humiliation.

PROSPERITY HERE TO STAY.
louisville Courier-Journal.

The testimony of the London Statist
that large American loans have been
paid off in Paris, substantially reduc-
ing our international debts,is only part
of the evidence of the financial
strength of the United States which
has come to light during the past six
weeks of a stringent money market.
What is still more notable is that the
heavy liquidation which has been going
on in stocks has caused no serious
failures anywhere-a proof that the
speculation was not as rampant as had
been represented. All the stocks sold
have found buyers at. good prices,
showing that somebody has had the
money for investment at the declines.
There has been no panic, though a
powerful bear" party has been oper-
ating and very heavy declines were
predicted at the beginning. Of late
the rallies have been more violent
than the declines, and the low points
at the market are on each decline a
little above the previous ones, so that
if the worst is not over there is little
likelihood of any great fall.

A TIMELY WARNING.

In regard to the state of affairs in
the Iowa political arena the Iowa City
Republican succinctly sets it forth in
an article under the caption of ga
Stalwart Ultimatum." Editor Brant
points out conditions as they pertain
to the welfare of the Iowa farmer and
pertinently says:
"If there is any farmer in Iowa who
wants the Cana,.lan farm productions
turned loose upon New England, let
him hold up his hand and be counted.
For years the high price of butter,
eggs and poultry has been due to the
New England demand and the great
market found there. New England is
right beside Canada, while Iowa is
more than a thousand miles distant.
We have the market and let's keep it.
The way to keep it is to turn out to
the next county conventions, and let
lawyer free traue politicians under
stand that the farmers of Iowa who are
republicans are of the Theodore Roose,
welt kind, and thus see that men like
Allison, DOlliver and our President are
kept in the United States senate from
Iowa.
"The issue is now clear cut whether
the next new senator from Iowa is to
be a Roosevelt man or free trader
with the republican brand practically
eliminated. The next legislature may
be called upon to determine what kind
of man is to represent Iowa in the
United States senate. We hope, not,
but free trade politicians, or at least
men who are protectionists with a
but" and eff, are out organizing the
state to capture the next legislature
in the interests of the new tangled re.
publicanism that is in direct antagon.
ism with Theodore Roosevelt. We nc
not care who Is governor of Iowa, but
every true republican should lay down
the ultimatum that they will die in the
last ditch before any man playing be-
fore free trade footlights and receiving
the plaudits of the democratic party
shall be elected to the United States
senate Here is the real issue and II
will have to be met. Make every leg.

and say where he is at"

INTERVIEWS AT LONG RANGE

Alexander Mcdowell of Pennsylva-
MIA, clerk of the national house of rep
entatives-There is nothing to JUS
tify a special session of congress. There
is no question that agitates the public
mind that calls for hasty legislation.
The tariff revision seems to arouse
considerable academic discussion in
the press. have recently made trip
through the west, particularly in Wis
consin and Iowa, and l find that men
are so deeply immersed in their busi--
ness that they have little or no time
to give to tn discussion of public pol
icies. Nobody desires legislation that
would unsettle the present state of
business. The denunciation of trusts
seems to me to be engendered by fear
of evils that may occur, rather than
by evils that at present appear.

CONFIDENCE IN FINANCES.

Confidence in the money market is
an important factor in the success of
any business or Industrial enterprise.
To preserve this confidence is the one
object of every business man and fin
ancier. In times of unrest or threat
ened stringency various plans are in
troduced by men of affairs that will
best meet the existing contingencies
and preserve the equilibrium of the
business world. 1t was to bring relief
to the threatend stringency in the
money market that several large bank
ing firms of New York recently organ
lied pool of $50,0OO,O00.
Considerable comment has been call
ed forth by the adoption of this meth
cd by the New York financiers, but
already its beneficial results have
been manifest. AS the result of this
action there has been no contraction
of legitimate business enterprises. The
money market has continued easy,and
though there has been something of a
contraction of business among srecula-
tors, no lessening of business transac-
tons has been necessary. BY this
move confidence has taken the place
of uneasiness and an unnecessary cri-
sis has effectively been averted. Con-
corning this plan Henry Clews says:
81
loan pool by many of the big New York
banks had decidedly beneficial eff
feet. 1t was very practical demon
stration that powerful interests were
agreed in protecting the market
against an unnecessary crisis; that
good and legitimate borrowers would
secure such Accommodations as they
might need, and that no funds would
be available for speculative purposes,
What the emergency was, serious
enough to call for such unusual action
is not revealed. 1t was probably gem
eral and can be traced back to the
large amounts of money involved in
various underwriting and syndicate op-
erations. For some time past it has
been no secret that this was the weak
est spot in the whole situation; and
some of our ablest financiers have
been sorely puzzled to know how the
period of stress anticipated at this
season of the year would be met. 1t
is believed that all serious danger has
been averted, and such it is to be
hoped, will prove to be the case. The
mere assurance that $5O.000,000 will
be available in case of crisis tends to
remove apprehension and prevent
such an emergency. 1t may be. the
money will not be wanted for the same
reason that depositor will not with
draw his account SO long as he has
confidence in his bank The influence,
however, of this offer by strong bank
ers upon sentiment is highly impor-
tant and beneficial
