New York. September S0s--Secretary Shaw
gave out this statement today: The de-
partment is In receipt OF large number OF
requests from various banks IN the country,
clearly showing that the statement given
out last night WAS misunderstood, or rather
that 1t was not carefully reed That there
shah he no misunderstanding the following
statement is made:
NO new deposits will be made on any Sc
curity other than government bonds so long
as government bonds can be secured. For
the present the banks seem TO be able TO
obtain funds by borrowing bonds other than
2 per cent consols. They obtain the use
of these bonds for limited period and they
are as desirable as any other security for
deposits. They are not Ms desirable as Sc
curity for circulation for the reason that
circulation based thereon is taxable at
per cent, while circulation based on the 2
per cent consols is taxable at only one.hah
except by purchase any bond as q basis FOR
circulation, because when deposited for cir
culation they can not be released until the
circulation Is retired, and X may take
year before the circulation can be retired
and the price Of bonds ie so high that the
bank circulation is maintained az consid-
erable loss TO the banks. They must be
purchased or circulation constantly con
tracts. Therefore the department has de-
clded TO release for such banks as have
deposits and are not maintaining their limit
of circulation a portion of the bonds now
held by the government, taking lieu. there
Of, other satisfactory security on condition
always that the bonds released will be
used for the immediate Issue Of additional

excellent.
Comical situations are followed by pa
thetic incidents and smiles and tears are
intermingled at every turn. The story Of
the play is well known. Lisa, the heroine,
a free born white woman. being held as a
slave She was the offspring of one OF
the first families OF the south and to save
her mothers good name was represented
as The daughter If an octoroon. She be-
comes the property OF a rascal, who won
her at cards.
Helen Collier, as Lisa. plays the part
with a sweetness that fits the character
well and has the sympathy OF the audi
ence from the beginning. The part OF Will

by Thomas Garrick. He brings to the
character all that roughness and brutal
ity that Is supposed 10 have marked the
slave driver before the war.

"IhaVe taken all kinds of medf-

are cured, as you surely will be if
you persevere.
"My wife, as many in the southwest
can say, was troubled with a bad
cough and bronchial trouble, and doc
tors all over the country gave her up
to die, as they could do nothing more
for her. She began taking Peruna with
the result that she is better now than
she has been in years, and her cough
has almost left her entirely. The sore

Catarrh in its various forms is rapid

by DIR. Hartman. This remedy has
been thoroughly tested during the
past forty years. Prominent men have
come to know of it's virtues, and are
making public utterances on the sub
ject. To save the country we must
save the people. To save the people we
must protect them from disease. The
disease that is at once the most preva-
lent and stubborn of cure is catarrh.
If one were to make list of the diff

to catarrh in different locations and
organs, the result would be astonish-
ing. We have often published partial

RECIPROCITY OF TWO KINDS
The Kind That the Republicans Fa-
vor Is That Which Is Approved
by the Sugar Trust.

From the standpoint of pure theory,
reciprocity is a fine thing. If, while
getting rid of our own absurd tariff we
can induce other nations to abolish
their equally absurd tariffs, it is obyi-
Gus that we shall confer great boon
upon them as well as ourselves. Reel
procity that reciprocates is more to
be desired than gold, yea than much
fine gold" 1t is the best possible way
to free trade. But unfortunately that
kind of reciprocity doesn't exist ex-
cept as an ideal in the mind of the the
orist. The kind of reciprocity that has
any chance of passing republican SEN
ate is the kind approved by the sugar
trust and other monopolistic inter-
ests. This kind of reciprocity is truly
"the handmade of protection" It
makes it possible for the protected
monopoly to get portion at least of
it's raw material cheaper, while b Gliding
the price for it's manufe ctured product
at the same level. Consumers at home
will not receive any benefit. Incl
denta1ly our exporters will receive
some gain from more extended mar
kets, but the field of this trust regu-
lated reciprocity will be so narrow
that the increase in exports Will not be
large. The tariff is bound to be a lead
ing issue in the next political cam
paign. The republicans will no doubt
lug in reciprocity and attempt to show
what an excellent thing it is. Let the
people beware of the reciprocity that
has for its object the perpetua ton and
strengthening of the protective sys-
tenn On the other hand, the demo-
cratic party can strengthen the cause
of free trade by advocating reciprocity
by legislative enactment for the bene-
fit, not of the few. but of the whole
people-ROYAL MEEKER.
