ABoLIsH,NG THE PACK PeDDLER.

There is a campaign on in chicago
are urging the people to cease traaing
with them. These peddlers give short
weight and peddle refuse goods. They
are often thieves, generally swindlers
and invariably nuisances. The COM
plant is made that numbers of regular
thieves and spies for thieves assume
ihe guise of peddlers as en- aid to their
refarious employment.
The conditions in Chicago are the
Exaggerated type Of conditions in the
agricultural districts overrun by itin-
grant pack peddlers and junk dealers.
these men are not all thieves. Their
ase IS remindful of the italian provero
y the time of Napoleon ]. Not all the
French are thieves" it said, but a
lupna parte" Not all the pack peddlers
are rascals, but a good part. A few OF
ihem are actual thieves plying their
vocation under the cover of the packs
they carry. Most OF lHelh aiS petty
twindlers, purveyors of the cheapest
trash, ignorant of the language and
customs of the country, ''sponginG' for
meals and horse feed, unclean in body
as in mind, walking culture of filth
and vernlin. He is a toady to men. a
bully to children and i'll not rare in
stances a menace to lone women.
The pack peddler fills no good place
In the economy of labor. He is next
door to the tramp and a dangerous
parasite. The really respectable and
decent among this class are too few to
furnish an excuse for its existence.
They are more Of a nuisance in tho
country than in towns. Abolish the
rack peddier.

discrimination in favor of the large
banks on these terms.
The real fault in the whole system
is that the government should be de-
posting its surplus money in banks
without getting interest when 1t might
be buying up its own bonds and can
ceiling them. In order TO stave off
the problem of revising the statutes as
to bank note circulation the govern
ment avoids retiring rs bonds and
thereby loses the interest charges Oh
bonds that it might stop by paying its
debts The situation is uhe same as if
a business man owing the bank several
large pro,nisscry notes ata stiff rate of
interest should deposit in his account
at that bank large SUM of money and
leave 1T there without interest while he
earelessly let his notes run on at great
interest cost. In the case of the gov
eminent the banks put up bonds and
get an equal amount N government
deposits at no interest cost. while the
government must pay interest on its
bonds.
To assume, however, that the deposit
of government funds in banks is a
mere handout and relieves the banker
of investing capital is too silly for seri-
ois consideration. The money the
federal government accumulates as
surplus, whenever it enjoys republican
rule, belongs in circulation where the
business interests of the country can
use It, Secretary SHAY is doing the
hest he can with the an't.quated laws
we have to put it back into circulation
by de posting it in the banks, where
business men can borrow it. To keep
1t locked up in the treasury vaults
would have the same results as If indt-
viduals would take the same amount
out of the banks and hoard it in socks
or behind chimney mantels. The only
better plan that has been suggested is
to pay off the government bonded debt
and force congress to provide for
more practicable bank aote circulation.

sHAw's SCHEME TRIED.
[Register and Leader.]


One of the bankers who is confident
that there is no merit in Secreta,y
Shaw's suggestion of an emergency
currency is Mr.. George d. Boulton
vice president OF the First National
Bank Of Chicago Mr.. Bouiton says:
1 do not believe 1t would serve
the purpose at all. The use of 1t
would bring on a panic. When
banks are willing to pay per cent
for their money 1t will be sign
that there is something radically
wrong with the conditions, and
when banks do pay that much it
will be a signal for depositors to
begin withdrawing their funds. If
one bank were to take out half
million of circulation under the
plan Secretary Ssaw proposes
and the neighboring banks did not
il would be singled out at once as
q weak institution that had to re-
sort to the most extreme means to
save itself. I believe that in times
of panic the proposed plan would
not be means Of salvation, and
that banks that resorted to 1t and
paid per cent for money would
simply be confessing the weakness

GOVERNMENT FUNDS IN BANKS.

The Times, an independent paper
published at Charter Oak, asks a per-
tinent question. 1t says:
1T looks to US like a dangerous
precedent Secretary Shaw has estab-
lished in keeping government funds on
hand ready for deposit in standing ma
..onal banks. 1t may be all right fer
the New York banks, but this is a
large country and there are many other
national banks. First thing we know
the Commercial National Bank of
Berne or Kenwood viii need few DOL
lars, and when they pull the New York
precedent on the secretary what is to
be done? These institutions may not
figure as greatly in financial circles,
but is not your life as dear to you as
the kings is. to him? Ii the big banks
can call out this reserve can not the
little ones? And when the rule becomes
thoroughly established and national
banks can demand the aid OF national
funds, can not state banks demand the
state funds? And when this condition
is reached, why will men need to in
vest their own capital. or, indeed, Will
they need any private capital to estab-
lish a bank. We take It for granted
that Secretary Shaw knows what he is
doing. and is doing what is best; but
we cannot see it in any other ligh,
than a dangerous precedent to estab-
lish.
The Times Is unnecessarily alarmed
for government deposits can only be
secured by national banks which have
been approved by the treasury depart
ment and then only by banks that are
willing to put up government bonds
or some other securities equally as safe
to guarantee the return of the funds.
There is not going to be any oppressive
