The st. Paul Globe hits the mark when
it says: That there is rottenness in all
the departments is now beyond reach Of
denial. A part of the fostering sore has
been laid bare ia the postof1ice depart
ment. The interior department has made
confession of frauds in the Indian bu-
reau. The record Of the treasury in
connection with the contracts for public
buildings will not bear the light.

Apropos the defeat of Shamrock III

Labor produces all wealth, but the
sharks get the mostof it. The man
who intimates that the creator OF
wealth should have it, or at least the
most of it, is an anarchist in the
minds of those who never earned an
honest dollar in their lives.

AUTOMATIC DOLLARS.

Coincident with the beginning Of
the currency movement to the interior
comes the speech OF Leslie NJ Shaw,
secretary Of the treasury, in which he
outlines very clearly a currency
scheme designed to remedy existing
defects without introducing any new
and untried expedients and without
attempting currency imitation" in any
form.
The problem was a difficult one.
That Secretary Shaw should have
evolved so plausible solution shows
him to be among the ablest OF Amer
icas financial directors.
shaw's plan, in a word, is to have
an automatic dollar, that will appear
when needed and promptly disappear
when it has served its purpose. He
does not want an elastic currency, but
a responsive one.
The Shaw scheme. therefore, is not
in any sense an imitation project II
is not even asset currency" IN the
general acceptation Of the word Ali
currency, strictly speaking. is asset
currency. IN that it represents value,
and is based on certain tangible assets
Preserved against it.
How does Mr. Shaw propose to ac-
complsh this desirable result, Of pro-
viding a responsive dollar--an auto
matte one, If you will--for better per-
formance of the Demands Of trade?
The method is simple, He proposes
TO allow the national banks, with the
consent Of the comptroller Of the cur
rency. to issue a volume of circulating
notes equal to 80 per cent OF their
bond secured circulation. at a tax Of
per cent. the same to be retired, by
the deposit of an equal amount OF law
ful money with any sub-treasury
This tax Of 9 per cent, Il viii 5e 90.
served, would cause the currency thus
issued to disappear as soon as money
rates should fail below that figure; in
other words, as soon as the currency
ceased to be needed
We fail TO see how this plan violates
any of the essential features either OF
our present financial system or OF
sound economics. Some such measure
is surely needed, and the scheme pre-
sented by Mr.. Shaw is the best yet
formulated.

.The feat Of Julves yenes hero
Phileas Fogg, who was said TO have
