citation, Ellis H. Roberts, treasurer of
the United States, pointed out that ma
tional bank notes constitute less than
one-sixth of our total stock of money,
while gold furnishes nearly one-half
His remarks suggested the idea that
the question of note issues was not Of
sufficient Importance to warrant the
attention paid to it, But note issues
are the only means by which increase
of currency supply as credit instru-
ment of exchange can be maintained,
Gold is a commodity, which can be re-
tanned by one country in competition
with other countries, only by being will
ling to pay more for it. To make gold
the actual medium of exchange as
well as the standard of value is like
the actual use of yard sticks in all
measurement instead of allowing any
method of measurement so long as it
corresponds to the established unit of
length.
A sound banking system acts both as
a warehouse for money and mechan-
| ism of exchange. Certificates of de-
| post are like warehouse receipts. and
by means of checks and drafts an enor-
| nous mass of exchange of values is
! accomplished. But there are many
cases which the warehousing functions
of banks fail to meet, A planter who
wants to gather his cotton crop cannot
| pay his picliers in checks. He has to
! have cash, and he can give ample Sc
culity for advances by lien upon his
1 crop. which can be turned into money
| as fast as it is ginned and baled. In
/ any other civilized country his bank
| would issue him its notes to serve him
as currency. and those notes would
move through a neighborhood circle
/ OF exchange, setting transactions be
4 tween the planter and his hands, the
hands and the shop keepers and sool
coming back to the bank for deposit t.
! the credit of various accounts. Oul
banking system is deficient in this
: banking function. The currency TO
: this local circle of exchange must b.
t drawn from the general stock of none.
! in the country Hence the annual strin
gency connected with the movement
of the crops, a phenomenon peculiar t
the United States and unknown il
1 other countries.
Now on top of this is the tendency .

THE WEAK POINT.

Pittsburg Notwithstanding Shaw,
who is dealing fairly and squarely with
the public. in an address before the
Bankers Association of Maryland and
the District of Colum bia put the finan-
cial situation in nutshell by saying:
EITHER we must issue more bonds as
a basis for national bank circulation or
provide a substitute" This hits the
case exactly. Secretary Shaw has no
power to provide substitute, SO he is
issuing more bonds. Thus the govern
ment is borrowing money which it does
not need and is keeping in debt for the
purpose OF furnishing basis for ma
l tional bank circulation This in effect
means that il the present system is to
be maintained the people must be tax

AN IMPOSSIBLE PROPOSAL.

Des Mones Register and Leader,-lt
does not seem possible that the friends
of union labor will allow themselves to
be caught in the attitude of insisting
that no one shall be employed in the
public service who is not union man.
That issue has been fought ont SO of
ten in other fields. and the principle
that is involved is SO well defined in
the American mind, that there can be
no doubt whatever as to the outcome.
1t has cost a great deal in the world S
history to finally establish the truth
that man may be citizen in free
country without regard 10 the beliefs,
social organizations, or race preindices
OF other people. II has cost too much
to take any chances now of saeriaeins

LIMITING TO Mr.. SULLIVAN.

Des Moines Register and Leader
The Burlington Gazette is also suggest
ing to Mr. Sullivan that perhaps i'll
will be just as well not to go too far in
an attack upon protection at this time.
IF the democratic candidate be con-
servative upon the question, he will
make many votes from the republican
ranks says the Gazette" and then it
adds:
"Mr. Sullivan will. of course. ask
for such tariff as will furnish the
proper revenue for running the govern
ment upon economical principles That
of necessity will afford more or less
protection. Or at least will give all the
protection needed at time like the
present. when we have become one of
the leading manufacturing nations of
the earth.
The Gazette says '.of course" there
will be more or less protection result
ing from any tariff the democrats will
establish But did not Mr.. Sullivan
say in Chicago that protection of any
and all kinds is doomed, and that the
"last vestige" is to be wiped from the
ftatute books? Did he not prove at
length that any such scheme as the
Gazette now suggests means taking
thS honestly earned dollar of the farm
er and laborer and putting it into the
pocket of the manufacturer without
warrant of sense or justice2 And does
not tariff for revenue only NEAR
tariff levied SO as to produce revenue
without affording protection?
1t is the policy of the Dubuque Tele
graph, Burlington Gazette and the res
of the democratic papers that believe
in the German plan of campaign 10
the next year to get away from the
position Mr. Sullivan has taken, ant
to persuade Mr.. Sullivan to whip thu
devil around the stump by now making
such an explanation of his first state
ments as will change their meaning
Will Mr.. Sullivan do it. 1t may be ac
mitted that the German platform is
shrewder one than Mr. Sullivan ha
chosen. But is that sufficient reaso
why man who believes that protec
ton is unjustifiable paternalism in the
DRY. and unjustifiable class discrimins
ton in practice, should now COMES
that the only real difference betwee
the republicans and democrats is owe
the amount of revenue that ought
be raised from a protective tarlH fe
the support of the government?
Mr.. Sullivan was a bold man TO tak
such an olltspoken stand in his Chic
go and Denison addresses. But i
evidently took it from sense OF out
and as evidently gave expression
mature convictions. He has eonsen
ed for the purpose of campaign to pl
aside his views as to silver coinag

Mr.. ROOSEVELT TO THE UNION
LEADERS.

Chicago Record-Herald-The Presi-
dent made an irrefutable statement
the limitation OF his pow
ers when he said.
''In the employment and dismissal
of men in the government service !
can nofmore recognize the TACT that d
man does or does not belong to the
union as being for or against him than
/ can recognize the fact that he is a
Protestant or Catholic, Jew or a
Gentle as being for or against him.
None of the labor leaders 10 whom
these words were addressed thought
of questioning the soundness CT the
assertion, none OF them desires &c
force an issue upon the particular iegal
technicalities involved in the Millel
case. 1t is now in fact generally rec
ognized that so far as there was any
movement of this sort among the
unions it was bad mistake. At the
same time it is obvious that the Pres
ident's remarks are SO worded as Il
produce, an excellent impression upol
the generality of the people. He was
dealing. he said, purely with the re
lation OF the government to its EN-
ployes and he added
q must govern my action by tn
laws OF the land which am sworn t
administer and which differentiate an
case in which the government of tn
United States is a party from all othe

TO THE PUBLIC.

The weekly issue of the FREIE
PREssE FUER TEXAS has po-
sitively the largest circulation
OF all German papers published
In the State of Texas.
1t has over 400 established
agencies in the State, is mailed
to fully 700 bost-ofices, and has
an extended circulation in Mexi-
co, in the Indian Territory, and
in Oklahoma.
1t circulates from Galveston
to Denison, from Marshall to Ell
Paso and of course mainly in
the thickly populated central
and southwestern parts of the
state.
Two travelling men and our
very active local agents are con
tinuously adding new sub
scribers to the lists.
In consideration of these facts
the "FREIE PREssE FUER TEXAS

tising medium in the State of
